ABSTRACT The application of many hetero-aromatic compounds in pharmaceutical and dye industries make the theoretical study of their dipole moment (µ) oscillator strength (f) and other photo-physical properties worthwhile. These properties determine the solubility of many compounds; predict the relationship between their structures, properties and performance. The f, µ, α, transition dipole mome...

β-catenin was originally identified complexed with the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) E-cadherin (Vestweber and Kemler, 1984; Ozawa et al., 1989; Nagafuchi and Takeichi, 1989). Subsequently, β-catenin was found to bind directly to the cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin and to α-catenin, linking this adhesion complex to the actin cytoskeleton (Aberle et al., 1994; Aberle et al., 1996a; Hülsken et al...

A Kohn-Sham (KS) inversion determines a KS potential and orbitals corresponding to given electron density, procedure that has applications in developing evaluating functionals used density functional theory. Despite the utility of inversions, application these methods among research community is disproportionately small. We implement Zhao-Morrison-Parr Wu-Yang framework simplifies analysis conv...

DNA segregation or partition is an essential process that ensures stable genome transmission. In prokaryotes, partition is best understood for plasmids, which serve as tractable model systems to study the mechanistic underpinnings of DNA segregation at a detailed atomic level owing to their simplicity. Specifically, plasmid partition requires only three elements: a centromere-like DNA site and ...

Nervous chemokines uidance molecules from the immune and nervous systems are getting mixed up in each others business. have found that a leukocyte attractant called stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) is the main factor that entices embryonic cerebellar neurons to their correct location. SDF-1 is a chemokine—a peptide that attracts leukocytes by activating a G protein signaling cascade. In contras...

The N-alkylation reaction of N-benzoyl 5-(aminomethyl)tetrazole (5-AMT) with benzyl bromide was carried out in the presence K2CO3 as a base. Two separable regioisomers were obtained, thus their purification led to determine proportion each them, and structures attributed essentially based on 1H 13C NMR spectroscopy addition elemental analysis MS data. In order confirm results obtained at synthe...

The magnetic circular dichroism of benzene and indole derivatives was measured down to 190 nM. The following pairs of molecules have magnetic circular dichroisms of the opposite sign in the B(2u) absorption region: aniline and benzonitrile, indene and indoline, indole and 4-aminoindole, and 4-aminoindole and 5-aminoindole. The sign and magnitude of the magnetic circular dichroisms observed are ...
