this study was carried out to investigate the effect of esterification on the surface roughness of eastern cottonwood. eastern cottonwood was modified without using any catalyst and solvent at different temperatures and times with two linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides (acetic anhydride or propionic anhydride). different weight percentage gains (wpgs) were obtained at different conditions....

In the crystal structure of the title 1:1 adduct, C(12)H(12)N(2)·C(8)H(9)NO(2), the 4-amino-3-methyl-benzoic acid mol-ecules and 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular network parallel to (001). In the 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane mol-ecule, the two pyridine rings are twisted to each othe...

This study reports the kinetics and mechanism of Fe(III)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation and deamination of a series of acyclic (α-aminoisobutyric acid, α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid, alanine, norvaline, and 2-aminobutyric acid) and cyclic (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, 1-amino-1-cyclobutanecarboxylic acid, 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid, and 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylicacid) ...

The hydrogen reacts with lactic acid to form propionic acid. Pyruvic acid has been isolated from the fermentation of glucose (1934) and of lactic acid (unpublished data) by Wood and Werkman. These investigators supported Van Niel's proposed dissimilation of pyruvic acid inasmuch as the occurrence of acetaldehyde could not be demonstrated. Little information is available concerning the aerobic d...

Several amino acid analogues may be incorporated into bacterial protein in place of the naturally occurring amino acid. These analogues cause the formation of nonfunctional enzymes and inhibit bacterial growth. Not all enzymes will be inactivated to the same extent, and the effect of an analogue on the activity of a particular enzyme should provide information on the essentiality of the natural...

The title compound, C(12)H(14)O(4), is an important inter-mediate in the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. There are also C-H⋯π contacts between the benzene ring and the methyl-ene groups.

The aim of the present research is to investigate the profile of amino acid of Chlorella vulgaris supplemented with some plant amino acid and oil extracts. The bioactive oil and amino acid from four Iranian medicinal plants, namely Oliveria decumbens, Thymus kotschyanus, Trachyspermum ammi, and Zataria multiflora were obtained. The LC-MS / MS analysis demonstrated that the major amino acids com...

In order to identify key structural determinants for ligand recognition, we subjected the ligand-binding domain of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)-selective glutamate receptor GluR-D subunit to site-directed mutagenesis. Based on the analysis of the [3H]AMPA-binding properties of the mutated binding sites, we constructed a revised three-dimensional model of ...
