Lipases are promising enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol ester bonds at the oil/water interface. Apart from allowing biocatalyst reuse, immobilization can also affect enzyme structure consequently influencing its activity, selectivity, and stability. The lipase from Penicillium sp. section Gracilenta (CBMAI 1583) was successfully immobilized on supports bearing butyl, pheny...

Both newly formed and long-term culture-generated substratum adhesion sites, generated by EGTA-mediated detachment of Balb/c SVT2 cells, were extracted with an eta-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside buffer containing salt and several protease inhibitors under conditions which result in maximal solubilization of the sulfate-radiolabeled proteoglycans. Because of the functional importance of heparan su...

Poly(tert-octyl acrylamide)-poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) nanoparticles are prepared by RAFT dispersion polymerization at 70 °C in various n-alkanes. Thermoreversible flocculation occurs higher n-alkanes on cooling to 20 °C.

the composition of essential oil of leaves of the male and female shrubs of juniperus chinensis l. (growing in isfahan) was analyzed by gas choromatography(gc) and gc-mass spectrometery (ms). the main constituents of leaf oil of the male shrub were: bornyl acetate (26.1%), sabinene (18.3%), trans-sabinyl acetate (11.1%), myrcene (9.2%), limonene (6.1%), elemol (5.5%), α-cadinol (2.3%), δ-cadine...

The development of new methods for prevention of sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infection is a top public health priority. Topical self-administered vaginal microbicides represent one such approach in which the organism is eradicated at the time of initial exposure. To this end, we examined the activity of five synthetic lipids adapted from naturally occurring compounds found in hum...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(20)H(23)Br(2)N, the octyl chains are extended in an anti conformation and form a segregating bilayer, isolating rows of carbazole units. The carbazole moieties are engaged in offset π-π inter-actions; the smallest centroid-to-centroid distance is 4.2822 (11) Å. This offset packing motif allows the methyl-ene group attached directly to the N atom...

The title compound, C28H33N2S2P, adopts the thione tautomeric form, as supported by the C-S distance [1.6744 (18) Å]. The Schiff base exhibits an E conformation about the C=N bond but a Z conformation about the C-N bond. The terminal chain is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.732 (3):0.268 (3). In the crystal, pairs of N-N-H hydrogen bonds between the thione groups ...

All the non-H atoms of the title compound, C(17)H(24)N(2)S, lie almost in a common plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.049 Å). The octyl chain adopts an all-trans conformation.
