Dynamin is a GTPase enzyme involved in membrane constriction and fission during endocytosis. Phospholipid binding via its pleckstrin homology domain maximally stimulates dynamin activity. We developed a series of surface-active small-molecule inhibitors, such as myristyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (MiTMAB) and octadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (OcTMAB), and we now show MiTMAB targets the dyna...

1,4 Dihydropyridines are very versatile compounds and have important role as therapeutic agents. The 1, 4 (1,4 DHPs) well known calcium channel blocker their use in treatment of cardiovascular diseases is common. These also to antimicrobial activities. N-heterocyclic represent framework for agricultural pharmaceutical industries. antibacterial antifungal Hence, the substituted 4- Dihydropyridin...

Abstract The synthesis of polymer-vesicle latex particles by using extruded vesicles dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide (DODAB) via an atom transfer radical polymerization–based approach is reported. Cryo-TEM characterization revealed the growth polymer from one side vesicle, and final morphology resulting was affected monomer feed composition. Protrusions or nanocapsules were synthesized whe...

The characteristic behaviour of mesophases, especially anomalies observed in the surface tension and viscosity in some thermotropic mesophases, are discussed on the basis of thermodynamic and molecular kinetic theories. Experimental data are presented for the surface and flow properties found in some lyotropic mesophases involved in the ternary systems: ammonium alkanoate + water + n-octanol; c...

A simple and efficient method is described for isolating high quality RNA from bilberry fruit. The procedure is based on the use of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and beta-mercaptoethanol in an extraction buffer in order to eliminate the polysaccharides and prevent the oxidation of phenolic compounds. This method is a modification of the one described fo...

Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) was found to be an efficient phase-transfer catalyst for the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines by one-pot reaction of 6-aminouracils, aromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in water under ultrasonic irradiation. The advantages of this method are the use of an inexpensive and readily available catalyst, short reaction time, easy work...

The microscopic equilibrium structures of adsorbed films of quaternary ammonium surfactants on mica have been investigated by noncontact atomic force microscopy imaging as a function of alkyl chain length and headgroup structure. Spherical and cylindrical surface micelles were observed; these were found to be related to bulk solution self-assembly and the surfactant packing parameter, v/a0lc. S...

In the present work, we have synthesizedgadolinium(III) bromide, GdBr3 from the gadolinium oxide, Gd2O3 by sintering brominating with ammonium bromide, NH4Br. The influence of three main synthesis parameters (contact time, stoichiometry, and temperature) on the reaction yield was studied and optimized. This study showed that the optimum conditions...
