Group VIII B metal oxides supported on gamma-alumina were investigated as catalysts and promoters of MoO3 hydrodesulfurization catalysis. Superior promotion was observed in PbO promoted catalyst compared to that of CoO, the typically accepted promoter. Other metal oxides, SnO and Ho2O3 exhibited reasonable hydrodesulfurization catalysis promotion but lower than for CoO promoted catalyst.

nano-cus powders were synthesized with chemical solution method. xrd and sem and spectrophotometry were used for characterization of the cus powders. xrd analysis indicated that tetragonal cus was the main phase with particle size of 16.2nm and little cu2s phase was present. scanning electron microscopy (sem) analysis revealed that powder was plate like and had very little aspect ratio in morph...

Silver(I) triflate efficiently catalyzes the tandem reaction of acetylenic aldehydes with indoles to give highly substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles in high yields.

A PdII catalyst system has been used to successfully catalyse two mechanistically distinct reactions in a one-pot procedure: dehydrogenation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones and the subsequent oxidative Heck coupling. This auto-tandem catalytic reaction is applicable to both batch and continuous flow processes, with the latter being the first example of a tandem aerobic dehydrogenat...

Meysam Yarie was born in 1987 in Malayer, Hamedan, Iran. He received his B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry (2010) from Malek-Ashtar University of Technology and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2012) from Kurdistan University under the supervision of Dr. Kamal Amani.

Poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a multifunctional enzyme that is involved in two major cellular responses to oxidative and nitrosative (O/N) stress: detection and response to DNA damage via formation of protein-bound poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose (PAR), and formation of the soluble 2(nd) messenger monomeric adenosine diphosphate-ribose (mADPR). Previous studies ha...

The structure of the G protein Gia1 complexed with the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine-5*-(bg-imino)triphosphate (GppNHp) has been determined at a resolution of 1.5 Å. In the active site of Gia1zGppNHp, a water molecule is hydrogen bonded to the side chain of Glu and to an oxygen atom of the g-phosphate group. The side chain of the essential catalytic residue Gln assumes a conformation whi...

It is known that tRNAs play an essential role in genetic information transfer from DNA to protein. The maturation of tRNA precursors is performed by the endoribonuclease RNase P, which classically consists of a main RNA segment and accessory proteins. However, the newly identified human mitochondrial RNase P-like protein (MRPP123) complex is unique in that it is composed of three proteins witho...
