the tumors in which odontogenic differentiation is fully expressed are the odontomas. odontomas are considered as hamartomas rather than a true neoplasm. these tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp tissue. it is most commonly associated with the eruption of the teeth. they are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. in exceptional cases, the odontoma erupts i...

An electrochemical P450 model compound consisting of meso-tetraphenylporphyrinatochromium(3+) chloride (CrTPP), imidazole, and acetic acid was used in acetonitrile containing alkenes. The corresponding epoxides were obtained in better yields compared to a similar electrochemical P450 model compound using meso-tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(3+) chloride. The results of cyclic voltammetry and c...

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate / butyric acid, ambiguously called GHB, presents some unique challenges for analysis due in part to its acidity, high polarity, and high solubility in aqueous solution. Its chemistry is complicated by its conversion into the corresponding lactone compound, where the GHB molecule condenses to form a cyclic ester with a five-membered ring. This compound, gamma-butyrolactone ...

Water soluble extracts of Escherichia coli cells have been found to exert an extremely strong repressive effect upon the expression of catabolite sensitive operons. The compound responsible for this activity has been partially purified and proves to be of low molecular weight and heat stable. The effect of this compound, hereafter designated as catabolite modulator factor, is only partially ant...

The title compound, 2C(17)H(20)N(2)O·CH(2)Cl(2), was obtained by N-oxidation of the parent formamidine with m-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid (m-CPBA). This is the first use of the above-mentioned synthetic route for the preparation of hydroxy-amidines. The title compound crystallizes as a cyclic dimer resulting from the presence of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

The cyclic compound 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3-diethylcyclodiphosphazane-2,4-dithione [systematic name: 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3-diethyl-1,3,2λ5,4λ5-diazadiphosphetidine-2,4-dithione], C8H22N4P2S2 or [EtNP(S)NMe2]2, is member of a class of mol-ecules that may be used, by virtue of their complexation properties, for the extraction of metals. This compound was characterized in solution by (1H a...

Acylation reaction of a variety of cyclic ketones via acylation of the corresponding enamines is welldefined in the literature. Enamine acylation of carbonyl compounds is a significant synthetic method because of its mildness and the ease of preparing various β-diketones [1-4]. Acylation reactions are performed by means of converting enamines to the enaminoketones and subsequent hydrolysis of t...

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements were performed on solutions of cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and on solutions of the T127L,S128A double mutant of CRP (CRP*) in D2O K3PO4 buffer containing 0.5 M KCl, in the absence and presence of 3',5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Energy-minimized structures of the CRP were calculated by minimization of the x-ray crystallographic stru...

MAP kinase activity is necessary for growth factor induction of neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Although NGF and EGF both stimulate MAP kinase activity, EGF does not stimulate neurite extension. We report that EGF, in combination with KCl, stimulates neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. This phenomenon was independent of intracellular Ca2+ increases and not due to enhancement of MAP kinase activit...
