In the title mol-ecule, C18H13BrO2, the anthracene unit forms an angle of 46.91 (2)° with the mean plane of the methyl acrylate moiety. In the crystal, the mol-ecules arrange themselves into strands parallel to [010] and, due to the crystal symmetry, there are eight strands crossing the unit cell. In each strand, mol-ecules form short C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π contacts and have their anthracene groups pa...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. Previous research has suggested that aberrant miRNA expression often plays a critical role in many types of cancer, including lung cancer. However, the exact miRNAs that are involved in pulmonary carcinogenesis remain unclear. We investigated the miRNA-based molecular changes that occur in urethane-ind...

the glass transition temperature of several pvac(1)-b-poly(ma-co-mma) (2) terpolymers with different fractions of methyl acrylate (ma) and methyl methacrylate (mma) repeating units in random copolymer (block 2) were calculated with barton, kwei and topological equations. the calculation was on the basis of the correlation between the fraction of repeating units in random copolymers and theoreti...

Cyanobacteria are valuable organisms for studying the physiology of photosynthesis and carbon fixation, as well as metabolic engineering for the production of fuels and chemicals. This work describes a novel counter selection method for the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 based on organic acid toxicity. The organic acids acrylate, 3-hydroxypropionate, and propionate were shown to be i...

In previous papers (1,2) the thermotropic properties and the kinetics of the bulk polymerization of the mesomorphic monomer cholesteryl acrylate have been described. In addition to cholesteryl acrylate, the methacrylate was prepared, as well as the respective acrylic methacrylic acid ester of cholestanol. We now wish to report the properties of these monomeric esters and the results of their po...

The title compound, C(18)H(18)FNO(3), consists of three individually planar subunits, namely two substituted benzene rings and one amino-acrylate group. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.48 (8)°. The amino-acrylate group forms dihedral angles of 57.95 (7) and 11.27 (6)° with the methoxy-phenyl and fluorophenyl rings, respectively.

Various polymerization mechanisms have been developed to prepare peptide-immobilized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels, a class of biomaterials suitable for studying cell biology in vitro. Here, a visible light mediated thiol-acrylate photopolymerization scheme is reported to synthesize dually degradable PEG-peptide hydrogels with controllable crosslinking and degradability. The influence o...

Block copolymers containing functionalized monomers, for example those containing charged groups, can be used for many purposes, one of which is the design of polymeric supramolecular materials based on electrostatic interactions. In this paper the synthesis of diblock copolymers and ABA-triblock copolymers containing poly(n-butyl acrylate) as a first or middle block and poly(2-(dimethylamino)e...
