The structure of nitrosylcobalamin (NOCbl) in solution has been studied by NMR spectroscopy and the 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been assigned. 13C and 31P NMR chemical shifts, the UV-vis spectrum of NOCbl and the observed pKbase-off value of approximately 5.1 for NOCbl provide evidence that a significant fraction of NOCbl is present in the base-off, 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) deprotonated,...

The dimers [Cu(2)(dppm)(2)(CN-t-Bu)(3)](BF(4))(2) and [Ag(2)(dppm)(2)(CN-t-Bu)(2)](X)(2) (X(-) = BF(4)(-), ClO(4)(-)) and the coordination polymers [[M(diphos)(CN-t-Bu)(2)]BF(4)](n) (M = Cu, Ag; diphos = bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane (dpppen), bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane (dpph)), [[Ag(2)(dppb)(3)(CN-t-Bu)(2)](BF(4))(2)](n), and [[Ag(dpppen)(CN-t-Bu)]BF(4)](...

these elements, video streams over DAB/DMB can be received and played on a television set.

A new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex, trans-[Ru(dmb)2(Cl)(EtOH)](PF6) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination. The complex was studied as a precatalyst for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in an acetonitrile solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The ca...

A cobalamin (Cbl) cofactor in corrinoid iron-sulfur protein (CoFeSP) is the primary methyl group donor and acceptor in biological carbon oxide conversion along the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway. Changes of the axial coordination of the cobalt ion within the corrin macrocycle upon redox transitions in aqua-, methyl-, and cyano-Cbl bound to CoFeSP or in solution were studied using X-ray absorption...

We used Alcian Blue (AB) and dimethylmethylene blue (DMB) methods to measure glycosaminoglycan (GAG) excretion in the first morning urine specimens of patients with osteoarthritis (OA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different stages of disease. By the AB method, urinary GAG excretion in patients with RA was not different from healthy control subjects. However, th...

A multi-gram-scale synthetic route to a novel, bifunctional normorphan 3D building block bearing orthogonally reactive vinyl MIDA boronate and N-2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (DMB) amide functional handles has been developed. Synthetic manipulation at each of the demonstrated including Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, exo-diastereoselective hydrogenation, N-DMB group removal lactam reduction. Normorphan co...

Bone strength is determined not only by the volume of bone tissue and the microarchitectural organization of this bone, but also by the degree of mineralization of bone matrix. The mineralization process consists of a primary deposition of mineral substance on the calcification front, followed by a slow and progressive increase of the mineral deposition named secondary mineralization. In osteop...

Mobile TV around the world uses various standards including MediaFLOTM, DVB-H, CMMB, ISDB-T, ISDB-Tb, DVB-SH and T-DMB. These various technologies have been deployed with differing levels of success and for different reasons. Some European markets have DVB-H deployments, ISDB-T is used in Japan, T-DMB in Korea and China is developing CMMB technology. The US market currently only has a commercia...

The photocatalytic activity for CO(2) reduction and optical and electrochemical properties of two Ru(II)-Re(I) binuclear complexes [Ru(dmb)(2)LRe(CO)(3)Cl](2+) (Ru-Re and Ru=Re, dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) with 1,2-bis(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl-4-yl)ethane and 1,2-bis(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl-4-yl)ethene as bridging ligands have been investigated. The conjugation content of the bridging...
