A simple protocol was used to prepare amine functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-NH2). In the first step, epichlorohydrin (EPH) was reacted with ammonium hydroxide to produce 2-hydroxy-3-chloro propylamine (HCPA). In the next step, HCPA was grafted to CNC using the etherification reaction in an organic solution media. Various reaction parameters, such as time, temperature, and reactant mo...

Patients with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency show increased concentrations of biopterins and neopterins, and reduced concentrations of serotonin and catecholamines, when phenylalanine concentrations are raised. The pterin rise reflects increased synthesis of dihydroneopterin and tetrahydrobiopterin, and the amine fall a reduction in amine synthesis due to inhibition by phenylalanine of ty...

rearrangement of propargyl amine salt, in the presence of a base was studied and it was concluded that this occurs through an allenic intermediate.

In the title compound, [Fe(C10H15N2O2)Cl2]·2H2O, the Fe(III) ion is coordinated by two N and two O atoms of the tetra-dentate 2-{(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino}-ethano-late ligand and by two chloride anions, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. The average Fe-X (X = ligand N and O atoms) and Fe-Cl bond lengths are 2.10 and 2.32 Å, respectively. In the crystal...

The ionic title complex, [Ni(C(2)H(8)N(2))(3)](SiF(6)), is built up of [Ni(en)(3)](2+) complex cations (en = 1,2-diamino-ethane) and hexa-fluoridosilicate anions. Single crystals of the title complex were isolated from an aqueous-ethano-lic Ni(2+)-en-SiF(6) (2-) system. The Ni(II) and Si atoms are each located on a special position with site symmetry 3.2. The Ni(II) atom coordination sphere is ...

The regeneration of an active semi-synthetic aequorin, from apoaequorin produced in cells and a coelenterazine analogue, is a key step in measuring Ca2+ in the cells. The relative rates of the regeneration of semi-synthetic aequorins from apoaequorin and 28 synthetic coelenterazine analogues were compared. The results indicated that the rate is strongly influenced by the analogues used. The reg...

The structure of the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C14H23N2O4 (+)·C2H3O2 (-)·H2O, was determined as part of a wider study on the use of the mol-ecule as a polydentate ligand in the synthesis of Mn(III) clusters with magnetic properties. The cation features intra-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions. The crystal structure features a range of inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding in...

Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) is one of the most important systems in the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) for a manned spacecraft. With the development of adsorbent and CDRA technology, solid amine is increasingly paid attention due to its obvious advantages. However, a manned spacecraft is launched far from the Earth, and its resources and energy are restricted s...

The receptors of amine subfamily are specifically major drug targets for therapy of nervous disorders and psychiatric diseases. The recognition of novel amine type of receptors and their cognate ligands is of paramount interest for pharmaceutical companies. In the past, Chou and co-workers have shown that different types of amine receptors are correlated with their amino acid composition and ar...

PURPOSE Lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) is a copper-dependant amine oxidase that plays an essential role in elastogenesis. Two non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms of LOXL1, R141L (rs1048661) and G153D (rs3825942), have been reported to significantly increase susceptibility to exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). To evaluate the impact of the R141L and G153D variations on the amine oxidase activi...
