222 donor and 222 acceptor (including 206 pairs) non-homologous splicing sites were studied. Well known features of these were confirmed and some novel observations were made. It is (1) cCAGGGag signal in (-60)-(-58) region of acceptor sites; (2) strong complementarity between regions (-69)-(-55) and (-36)-(-22) of some of the acceptor sites, and (3) small but statistically significant correlat...

The demand for clean and sustainable energy has garnered great interest in new materials. Among them, high temperature proton-conducting perovskite oxides are, or can be widely used applications (including fuel cells, electrochemical reactors, solid-state separators supports of catalytic components via various reduction oxidation reactions) the intermediate range. control defect chemistry is ma...

Organic donor-bridge-acceptor dyads consisting of a triphenyldiamine donor that was linked to a perylenebisimide acceptor by a flexible nonconjugated bridge have been investigated by complementary spectroscopic techniques as a function of the length and the polarity of the linker. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy revealed a quenching of the donor emission accompanied by a corresponding r...

mp2 calculations with cc-pvtz basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in f3cx···yli···nccn and f3cx···nccn···liy triads (x = cl, br; y = cn, nc) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. those complexes with the role of liy as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kj mol-1. those complexes with simult...

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) refers to the nonradiative transfer of energy from one fluorescent molecule (the donor) to another fluorescent molecule (the acceptor). Measurement of FRET between two fluorophore-labeled proteins can be used to infer the subnanometer spatial and temporal characteristics of protein interactions in their native cellular environment. Multiple experime...

Based on the existing structure activity relationship for proteasome inhibitors, a number of substituted aryl-2-nitrovinyl derivatives have been synthesized as Michael acceptor and their cytotoxicity and proteasome inhibitory effects were evaluated on two cancer cell lines. Compound 2d exhibited IC50 values of 0.71 and 17.79 μM comparable to bortezomib against MCF-7 and PC-3, respectively. The ...

MP2 calculations with cc-pVTZ basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in F3CX···YLi···NCCN and F3CX···NCCN···LiY triads (X = Cl, Br; Y = CN, NC) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. Those complexes with the role of LiY as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kJ mol...

This paper investigates the amount of doping concentration in silicon semiconductor using optical principle.  Both donor and acceptor impurities of n type and p-type silicon semiconductor materials are computed at wavelength of 1550 nm. During the computation of donor and acceptor impurities, both reflection and absorption losses are considered. Theoretical result showed that transmitted intens...

γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a two-substrate enzyme that plays a central role in glutathione metabolism and is a potential target for drug design. GGT catalyzes the cleavage of γ-glutamyl donor substrates and the transfer of the γ-glutamyl moiety to an amine of an acceptor substrate or water. Although structures of bacterial GGT have revealed details of the protein-ligand interactions at ...
