Exploiting carbonic anhydrase (CA), an enzyme that rapidly catalyzes carbon dioxide hydration, is an attractive biomimetic route for carbon sequestration due to its environmental compatibility and potential economic viability. However, the industrial applications of CA are strongly hampered by the unstable nature of enzymes. In this work, we introduced in silico designed, de novo disulfide bond...

The visual effects of carbon disulfide exposure were studied in macaque monkeys with measurements of visual thresholds, fluorescein angiography and fundus photography. Five monkeys were exposed by inhalation for 6 hr a day, 5 days a week to 256 ppm carbon disulfide (CS2). The motor dysfunction observed in these monkeys appeared to be entirely reversible. All five suffered severe reductions in v...

To interact with different biologic systems for biomedical applications, chemical modification of carbon nanotubes is always a key step. Disulfide is sensitive to the reductive intracellular environment, and such stimulus-responsive covalent bonds were used to modify carbon nanotubes. After deprotection of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups of the N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) cystamine modified mu...

A pilot study was conducted to compare odor emissions from a windrow process and an aerated static pile and to determine the odor reduction efficiency of a pilot two-phase biofilter for odor control of biosolids composting. Chemical compounds identified as responsible for odors from biosolids composting include ammonia, dimethyl disulfide, carbon disulfide, formic acid, acetic acid, and sulfur ...

The covalent conjugation of a functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to multiple nucleophilic amine residues results in a heterogeneous mixture of PEG positional isomers. Their physicochemical, biological, and pharmaceutical properties vary with the site of conjugation of PEG. Yields are low because of inefficient conjugation chemistry and production costs high because of complex purificati...

Reaction of 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyrimidinethiol, prepared by cyclocondensation reaction of 1,3-diamino propane 1 and carbon disulfide, with ethyl chloroacetate and substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of sodium acetate and acetic acid gave 2-[(Z)-1-(aryl)]-6,7-dihydro-2H-isothiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine-3(5H)-one derivatives 3(a-j) in good yields. 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analy...

Background In Korea, Carbon disulfide (CS2) toxicity was an important social problem from the late 1980s to the early 1990s but there have been few large-scale studies examining the prevalence of diseases after CS2 exposure discontinuance. So we investigated past working exposure to CS2 characteristics from surviving ex-workers of a rayon manufacturing plant including cumulative CS2 exposure in...

A novel synthesis of Iimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-5(6H)-thione framework was developed through a three-step reaction starting from benzil. The resulting (2-nitrophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole  from the reaction of benzil and different 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, reduction of nitro group and then cyclization reaction with carbon disulfide (CS2). All steps were carried out under easy and user-friendly ...
