In the present study, the interactions of three different lithium species Li+, Li3+ and CH3Li with several different sites of the most stable tautomers of DNA nucleo-bases are presented. This investigation is based on the results of thermochemical properties, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Natural Bond Orbi...

This study is about Complexes of Li doped silicon carbide nanotube with Thymine and Cytosine ingas phase and aqueous solutions. Li doped silicon carbide nanotube and its pyrimidine nucleobasecompounds were first modeled by Quantum mechanical calculations in gas phase and in water.Calculated binding energies indicated the stronger ability of thymine to functionalize silicon carbidenanotube than ...

conclusions the evidence that btx-a decreases ntg-induced cgrp-li and sp-li levels in trigeminovascular system suggests that btx-a attenuates migraine by suppression of neuropeptide release. btx-a injections for migraine at acupoint-sites and fixed-sites are effective. acupoint-sites btx-a administration shows more efficacy for migraine than fixed-sites application. results local btx-a injectio...

cannabis is one of the most banned drugs in the world. cannabinoid-induced dependence or withdrawal signs are indicated by the result of complex molecular mechanisms including upstream protein kinases (pks), such as an extracellular signal regulated kinase1/2 (erk1/2) and downstream glycogen synthase kinase-3β (gsk-3β), which lead to neuronal plasticity. in this study, we examined the protectiv...

We discuss the observational status of the interstellar lithium isotopic ratio and its significance with respect to the galactic evolution of lithium. Based on invited talks given at: ESO/EIPC Workshop on “Light Elements Abundances”, Isola d’Elba, Italy, May 22–28, 1994 ESO Workshop on “Science with the VLT”, Garching, Germany, June 28 – July 01, 1994 IAU General Assembly, Joint Discussion 11, ...

in the present study, the cooperative and diminutive interplay between halogen, hydride, and cation-σ interactions are studied in hmgh···li+(na+)···nccl, li+(na+)···hmgh···clcn and hmgh···clcn···li+(na+) complexes by means of ab initio calculations. to better understand the cooperative or diminutive effects in the ternary systems, the corresponding binary complexes are also considered. the esti...

the present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. grapefruit pulp (gp), lemon pulp (le), lime pulp (li) and orange pulp (op) were the test feed. digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (ndf) fraction and acid detergent fiber (adf) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the in...
