Five new pimarane diterpenoids 1-5 were synthesized using ent-8(14)-pimarene-15R,16-diol as starting material. The structures were elucidated by means of extensive NMR and MS analysis. The antifouling activity against larval settlement of the barnacle Balanus albicostatus were evaluated using capsaicin as a positive control. Compounds 1-3 and 5 showed more potent antifouling activity than capsa...

Gübrelerin polimerler ile kaplanarak daha yavaş ve uzun süre salınımı hem ekonomik de çevre kirliliğinin önüne geçilmesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Atık kerevit kabuklarından üretilen kitosanın biyolojik orijinli dostu olması nedeniyle mevcut çalışmada tercih edilmiş 15-15-15 gübresinin kaplanması amaçlı kullanılmıştır. Kitosan için çapraz bağlayıcı olarak glutaraldehit Çalışmada farklı ko...

Perchlorate (ClO4) has been detected in some states in the U.S and become an environmental concern since the late 1990’s. Perchlorate properties, contamination, and health effects were introduced in this paper. Perchlorate biodegradation degradation were introduced and summarized. According to recent studies, perchlorate respiring bacteria are present in natural environments, providing possibil...

The premature GDF/PDF/MIC-1 protein consists of 308 amino acids that contain a 29 amino acid signal peptide, a 167 amino acid propeptide, and a 112 amino acid mature protein. The mature protein is secreted as a homodimer linked by disulfide bonds and is released from the propeptide following intracellular cleavage at RXXR furine-like cleavage site. The mature peptide of GDF-1/MIC-1 contains two...
