In lipid bilayers and organic solvents, the hydrophobic polypeptide gramicidin adopts a number of different conformations, some of which are capable of conducting monovalent cations across phospholipid membranes. The equilibria between conformations have been shown to be influenced by factors such as lipid chain length, solvent, concentration and salt. In this study, the temperature dependence ...

Separation and purification are an integral part and a major cost factor in the chemical industry. Distillation is a very commonly used for solvent separation and purification process. It is neither cost effective nor process efficient when dealing with close-boiling and azeotropic solvent mixtures without modifying the relative volatility of the solvent components with an extraneous solvent or...

We study dilute solutions of poly(ethy1ene oxide) (PEO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) mixture in water with small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments. The attachment of the surfactant molecules to the polymers in the form of micelles results in a repulsive interaction within the polymers, which in turn results in interesting behavior of the viscosity as a function of the SDS concentr...

When endotoxins extracted from enteric bacteria were mixed in the presence of sodium deoxycholate, and the bile salt was subsequently removed by dialysis or by extraction with ethanol, a new type of endotoxin was formed. The latter material was as biologically active as the original endotoxins and possessed a combination of antigenic determinants that were previously unique to each of the indiv...

A new fluorinated and alkylated lithium malonatoborate salt, lithium bis(2-methyl-2-fluoromalonato)borate (LiBMFMB), has been synthesized for lithium ion battery application. A 0.8 M LiBMFMB solution is obtained in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) (1 : 2 by wt). The new LiBMFMB based electrolyte exhibits good cycling stability and rate capability in LiNi0.5M...

Although mind-brain identity remains controversial, many other identities of ordinary things with scientific ones are well established. For example, air is a mixture of gases, water is H2O, and fire is rapid oxidation. This paper examines the history of 15 important identifications: air, blood, cloud, earth, electricity, fire, gold, heat, light, lightning, magnetism, salt, star, thunder, and wa...

s Service, for advice on systematic names of new comsintered glass funnel to remove traces of salt. Residual oil on pounds. Melting points were determined on a Kofler-type micro the filter was collected by the use of a small volume of ethanol hot stage apparatus (Arthur H. Thomas) and are uncorrected. and added to the major portion of the oil. This mixture crystalby gest on N ovem er 0, 2017 hp...

The Sn atom in the title salt, (C(7)H(11)N(2))(2)[SnBr(4.67)Cl(1.33)], lies on a center of symmetry within an octa-hedron of disordered halogen atoms. The three independent halogen atoms are each a mixture of bromine and chlorine atoms [with site occupancies for bromine of 0.614 (1), 0.831 (1) and 0.888 (1)]. An N-H⋯ hydrogen bond is present.

Abstract Isolation of E -1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)-1,2-diphenyl-ethylene from the E/Z isomer mixture obtained by a McMurry coupling reaction and this with imidazole followed N -alkylation n BuBr anion exchange yielded bisimidazolium tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative H 2 - 1 (PF 6 ) . The Ag O di-nuclear metallarectangle [Ag ( ](PF where two bis-NHC donors bridge silver atoms. Irradiation leads ...
