In the present research, 4, 4'-biphenol was used as a homogeneous mediator for determining cysteine (CySH) on a Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE). To describe the electrochemical properties of 4,4'-biphenol and to examine its electrocatalytic impacts on cysteine oxidation, both Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) were employed. Our findings revealed that 4,4'-biphenol could s...

Pantothenate kinase (CoaA) is a key regulator of coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis in Escherichia coli, and its activity is controlled by feedback inhibition by CoA and its thioesters. The importance of feedback inhibition in the control of the intracellular CoA levels was tested by constructing three site-directed mutants of CoaA that were predicted to be feedback resistant based on the crystal st...

In two studies, involving 75 and 72 workers, potential exposure to 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (CFA) was biologically monitored by determination of its main urinary metabolite 2-amino-4-chloro-5-fluorophenol sulfate (CFA-S). As this method only allows the detection of recent exposure, analysis of CFA adducts bound to hemoglobin (Hb) was investigated as a method that allows biological monitoring of...

The title compound, C(15)H(13)NO(2), was prepared through a palladium-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. The dihedral angle between the biphenyl rings is 40.96 (6)°. The meth-oxy groups are twisted slightly out of the plane of the benzene ring [C-C-C-C torsion angles = -3.61 (18) and 12.6 (2)°]. The packing of the molecules is stabilized by van der Waals inter-actions.
