Stereospecific Polymerization of Acetaldehyde

Acetaldehyde substoichiometrically inhibits bovine neurotubulin polymerization.

Acetaldehyde is known to form covalent adducts with tubulin and to inhibit microtubule formation. Available evidence indicates that lysine residues are prominently involved in adduct formation. Previous work has shown that lysines on tubulin can be divided into two general classes based upon their reactivity toward acetaldehyde; those of normal reactivity ("bulk" lysines) and a highly reactive ...

Stereospecific carbene polymerization with oxygenated Rh(diene) species.

Polymers bearing polar functionalities are important materials, since they exhibit beneficial properties with respect to adhesion, paint/printability and surface properties. Commercial synthesis of these materials is mainly based on radical processes, which (so far) only allow poor control over the stereochemistry of the resulting polymers. 2 ] Stereo-controlled polymerisation generally require...

Highly trans-stereospecific Isoprene Polymerization by Neodymium Borohydrido Catalysts

Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde

Acetaldehyde may be the injurious agent in acute alcoholic liver disease. It has been suggested that the mechanism of liver injury in this situation may be immunologically mediated. In the present study acetaldehyde has been bound to human liver plasma membranes. The activation of C3 by the acetaldehyde/membrane product was measured by immunofixation of the separated C3 components. Activation o...
