Benzyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (BADH) is an important enzyme for hydrocarbon degradation, which can oxidize benzyl alcohols to aldehydes, while being capable of catalyzing a reversible reaction by reducing benzaldehyde. BADH is a member of medium chain alcohol dehydrogenases, in which zinc and NAD are essential for enzyme activity. This paper describes the expression, purification, and characteri...

Imaging of expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) in breast carcinomas may help to select patients eligible for trastuzumab therapy. The Affibody molecule Z(HER2:342) is a small (7-kDa) non-immunoglobulin affinity protein, which binds to HER2 with a picomolar affinity. Previously, a benzyl-DTPA conjugate of Z(HER2:342) was labeled with 111In and demonstrated good tar...

In the title compound, C(19)H(22)N(4)O(2), the tetra-hydro-pyrimidine ring adopts an envelope conformation (with the N atom connected to the benzyl group representing the flap). This benzyl group occupies a quasi-axial position. The two benzyl groups lie over the tetra-hydro-pyridimidine ring. The amino group is a hydrogen-bond donor to the nitro group.

It has been found that 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene reacts with aliphatic iso(thio)cyanates in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to exclusively afford the corresponding 1-substituted (thio)amides in high yields. For aromatic iso(thio)cyanates the reaction is less regioselective, although substitution at the 1-position prevails. For ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate, apart from the 1-substitu...

In the title compound, [Ni(NCS)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)](n), the Ni(II) cation is coordinated by two N-bonded and two S-bonded thio-cyanate anions, as well as two acetonitrile mol-ecules in an octa-hedral NiN(4)S(2) coordination mode. The asymmetric unit comprises one nickel cation, two thio-cyanate anions and two actonitrile mol-ecules. In the crystal, the Ni(II) cations are connected by bridging thio-...

In the title compound, [Cd(NCS)(2)(C(7)H(7)NO)](n), the Cd(2+) ion is six-coordinated by one N,O-bidentate 1-(2-pyridyletahanone ligand, two N-bonded thio-cyanate ions and two S-bonded thio-cyanate ions. In the resulting distorted CdOS(2)N(3) octa-hedron, the N atoms adopt a fac arrangement. The bridging thio-cyanate ions lead to infinite sheets oriented parallel to (101) in the crystal structure.

The thio-amide and quaternary amine parts of the title compound, C(6)H(15)N(2)S(+)·Cl(-), are mutually almost perpendicular, the dihedral angle being 80.6 (7)°. The thio-amide group is planar and adopts a Z conformation, whereas the amine end of the cation is in an extended conformation. In the supra-molecular structure, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by two hydrogen bonds: N...

Reaction of cadmium thio-cyanate with 2-chloro-pyrazine leads to the polymeric title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C4H3ClN2)2] n . The Cd(II) cation, which is located on a center of inversion, is coordinated by two N-bonded and two S-bonded thio-cyanate anions and by two N-bonded 2-chloro-pyrazine ligands within a slightly distorted octa-hedron. The Cd(II) cations are linked into chains along the a axis ...

The title compound, C(11)H(14)N(2)O(2)S, was synthesized from furoyl isothio-cyanate and piperidine in dry acetone. The thio-urea group is in the thio-amide form. The thio-urea group makes a dihedral angle of 53.9 (1)° with the furan carbonyl group. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional chains along the c axis. An intram...
