UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Lignin is one of the three major components in plant cell walls, and it can be isolated (dissolved) from the cell wall in pretreatment or chemical pulping. However, there is a lack of high-value applications for lignin, and the commonest proposal for lignin is power and steam generation through combustion. Organosolv ethanol process is one of the effective pretreatment ...

Active eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography, using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that reacts with the highly conserved heptapeptide repeat of the largest subunit. This mAb (designated SWG16) was conjugated to CNBr-activated Sepharose and used to purify RNAP II from wheat germ and calf thymus. The subunit composition of the immunoaffinity-purified en...

In this research, Au nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by modified polyol method with commercial precursors to be gold (III) chloride trihydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O), ethylene glycol (EG), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The structure and properties of as-prepared have been investigated X ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis-NIR spec...

An efficient and divergent synthesis of polyol subunits utilizing a phosphate tether-mediated, one-pot, sequential RCM/CM/reduction process is reported. A modular, 3-component coupling strategy has been developed, in which, simple "order of addition" of a pair of olefinic-alcohol components to a pseudo-C 2-symmetric phosphoryl chloride, coupled with the RCM/CM/reduction protocol, yields five po...
