The roots and rhizomes of Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Schulz. Bip. (Asteraceae), have been used in Iranian traditional medicine under the name of Aqhovan, as digestive and stomachic tonic. Composition of the essential oil, which was obtained from the root of T. parthenium collected from Karaj, was determined by gas chromatography, combined GC/MS and GC/IR. In total, 20 components (92% of essentia...

The selective formation of E- or Z-isomers is an important process in natural product metabolism. We show that the subunit composition of an enzyme can alter the geometrical composition of the enzymatic products. Hinokiresinol synthase, purified from Asparagus officinalis cell cultures, is responsible for the conversion of (7E,7'E)-4-coumaryl 4-coumarate to (Z)-hinokiresinol, the first step in ...

The analytic self map of the unit disk D, φ is said to induce a composition operator Cφ from the Banach space X to the Banach Space Y if Cφ(f) = f ◦ φ ∈ Y for all f ∈ X . For z ∈ D and α > 0 the families of weighted Cauchy transforms Fα are defined by f(z) = ∫ T K x (z)dμ(x) where μ(x) is complex Borel measures, x belongs to the unit circle T and the kernel Kx(z) = (1 − xz) −1 . In this paper w...

Here we report that the odd electron z (*) -type ions formed by the electron-based peptide dissociation methods (electron capture or transfer, ECD or ETD) have distinctive chemical compositions from other common product ion types. Specifically, b-, c-, and y-type ions have an odd number of atoms with an odd valence (e.g., N and H), while z (*)-type ions contain an even number of atoms with an o...
