The single subunit T7 RNA polymerase (T7RNAP) is a model enzyme for studying the transcription process and for various biochemical and biophysical studies. Heparin is a commonly used inhibitor against T7RNAP and other RNA polymerases. However, exact interaction between heparin and T7RNAP is still not completely understood. In this work, we analyzed the binding pattern of heparin by docking hepa...

This experimental work aimed to evaluate the potential of high pressure homogenization (HPH) to inactivate Saccharomyces cerevisiae 635 inoculated both in apricot and carrot juices. The sensitivity of the yeast was evaluated both in relation to its initial inoculum level (about 3.0 and 6.0 Log(10) cfu/ml) and number of passes applied at 100 MPa. Moreover, the effects of repeated pressure treatm...

The treatment of diluted solutions of the hydroxy diamides 6a and 6b in toluene with HCl gas at 100° gave the dimeric, 14-membered cyclodepsipeptide 10 in up to 72% yield (Scheme 3). The same product was formed from the linear dimer of 6b, the depsipeptide 11, under the same conditions (cf. Scheme 4). All attempts to prepare the cyclic seven-membered monomer 9, starting with different precursor...

UNLABELLED In 2008, according to the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), about 100 million adults in the United States were affected by chronic pain, including joint pain or arthritis. Pain is costly to the nation because it requires medical treatment and complicates treatment for other ailments. Also, pain lowers worker productivity. Using the 2008 MEPS, we estimated 1) the portion of tot...

Ages of jolthead porgy (Calamus bajonado Schneider 1801) (n = 635) from Florida commercial and recreational fisheries from 2008-2016 were determined using sectioned sagittal otoliths. We determined, using edge-type analysis, that opaque zones were annular, forming March-June (peaking in April). Jolthead porgy ranged from 1-13 years, and the largest fish measured 680 mm TL (total length, mm). Bo...

The reactions of 3-phenyl-1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane (4) with dimethyl dicyanofumarate ((E)-8) and dimethyl dicyanomaleate ((Z)-8) lead to the same mixture of cisand trans-4-phenyl-1-azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane 2,3-dicarboxylates (cis-11 and trans-11, resp.; Scheme 3). This result of a formal cycloaddition to the central C-N bond of 4 is interpreted by a stepwise reaction mechanism via a relatively ...

Dispersal of the prolamellar body tubules into primary lamellar layers has been studied in leaves of dark-grown bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Following complete photoconversion of protochlorophyllide the dispersal process can proceed in either light or darkness. The dispersal is reversibly inhibited in leaves at o °C. Above o °C the time course for the dispersal is temperature depende...

Anthocyanins (Anths) in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries harvested at véraison from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier cultivars were assessed nondestructively by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) excitation spectra. With increasing Anth content, less excitation light was transmitted to the deeper Chl layers, and thus the ChlF signal decreased proportionally. By applying Beer-Lambert's law, ...
