schiff base sal-2,5-clan = 2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol used as a new precursor for preparation of poly-2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol (pdcbap). in an aqueous alkaline medium, naocl oxidant is capable of oxidative poly-condensation reaction (op). both sal-2,5-clan and pdcbap were characterized by solubility tests, ft-ir, 1h-nmr spectroscopy and tg-dta studies. ft-ir and 1h-nmr...

conclusions our results demonstrated that r-fla-a could induce cellular and humoral immune response as proper stimulant of poly-isotypic humoral responses. results immunized mice with adjuvanted flagellin showed a considerably increased lymphocyte proliferation compared with the control group (p = 0.004). high level of il-4 and ifn-γ secretion was observed in immunized mice compared with the co...

BACKGROUND Base dependent binding of the cytotoxic alkaloid harmalol to four synthetic polynucleotides, poly(dA).poly(dT), poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT), poly(dG).poly(dC) and poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) was examined by various photophysical and calorimetric studies, and molecular docking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Binding data obtained from absorbance according to neighbor exclusion model indicat...

Detailed models are presented for the triple-stranded polynucleotide helices of poly (U)-poly (A)-poly (U) (two forms), poly (U)-poly d (A) -poly (U), poly d(C)-poly d(I)-poly d(C), poly d(T)-polyd(A)-poly d(T) and poly (I)-poly (A)-poly (I). The models were genrated using a computerized, linked-atom procedure which preserves standard bond lengths, bond anglesand sugar ring conformations, const...

frothers havea profoundeffectonbubble size and also flotation efficiency. in present study the effect of type and dosage of frothers on the flotation response of coarse particles of quartz was investigated.  therefore, flotation response of coarse particles using frothers such as mibc, pine oil, poly propylene glycol with concentration of 0, 25, 50 and 75 g/t, was obtained respectively. for all...

An analytical equation of state (EOS) developed by Ihm-Song-Mason (ISM) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including Poly (1-octene) (PO), Poly (vinylmethyl ether) (PVME), Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), and Poly (styrene) (PS). Three temperature-dependentparameters of the ISM EOS have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...

In vitro poly(dA) synthesis on poly(dT) template can be initiated by poly(A) primer. Poly(A) chains are covalently extended by DNA polymerase. The reaction product consists of poly(dA) chain with poly(A) at their 5'-ends, hydrogen bonded to the template poly(dT). The primer poly(A) is linked to the product poly(dA) via a 3':5'-phosphodiester bond, and can be specifically removed by ribonuclease...

Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite has been successfully prepared in aqueousmedia by the chemical polymerization of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulphateas an initiator in the presence of a steric stabilizer such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(DBSNa), Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC). Thechemical structure, m...

introduction: the native inability of nervous system to regenerate, encourage researchers to consider neural tissue engineering as a potential treatment for spinal cord injuries. considering the suitable characteristics of induced pluripotent stem cells (ipscs) for tissue regeneration applications, in this study we investigated the adhesion, viability and proliferation of neural progenitors (de...
