A monoclonal antibody for microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) was produced by cell fusion. The immunogen was synthesized in two steps. First, ovalbumin/ bovine serum albumin was conjugated with 6-acetylthiohexanoic acid using a carbodiimide EDC (1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride)/ NHS (N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide) reaction. After dialysis, the protein was reacted with M...

abstract a large number of studies have shown that direct application of rock phosphate dose do not have enough efficiency to release phosphorus compared to chemical fertilizers. the main purpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of direct application of rock phosphate. incorporation of rock phosphate with sulfur, organic matter and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and phos...

Cyanamide (NH2CN) is a molecule of interstellar interest which can be implied in prebiotic chemistry. We showed, by FTIR spectroscopy, that cyanamide can be isomerized in carbodiimide (HNCNH), another interstellar relevant molecule, by a reaction involving the amorphous water-ice surface as catalyst. This isomerization occurs at low temperature (T < 100 K) which agrees quite well with that expe...

The title organic compound, C(19)H(27)N(3)O(2)·H(2)O, was synthesized from methyl-ene dicyclo-hexyl-amine, 4-pyridine-carboxylic acid and N,N'-dicyclo-hexyl-carbodiimide. The water molecule is involved in inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, linking symmetry-related urea mol-ecules into a two-dimensional supra-molecular ladder-like structure.

purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz hpmc, pvp and peg 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βcd) and hpβcd by phase solubility studies. the data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in the presence of relatively low polymer c...

abstract various resistances to salinity are due to plants genetically variations, and selection on the basis of one factor will not be a suitable criterion in measurement of resistance to salinity, therefore in choosing resistant varieties, it is necessary to notice to a set of resistant indexes to salinity, creating changes in physiology, anatomy and morphology of plant species. this research...

Self-healing composite hydrogels are prepared from sustainable biopolymers by a green chemistry approach and analyzed physicochemical mechanical characterization techniques for future injectable anticancer biomaterials. Water-soluble chitosan (WSC) was grafting polyethylene glycol (PEG), glutamic acid gallic onto the chain carbodiimide chemistry. This WSC showed fast gelation (t ? < 60 seconds)...

Three-dimensional biodegradable porous scaffolds play vital roles in tissue engineering. In this study, a hyaluronic acid-collagen (HA-Coll) sponge with an open porous structure and mechanical behavior comparable to brain tissue was developed. HA-Coll scaffolds with different mixing ratios were prepared by a freeze-drying technique and crosslinked with water-soluble carbodiimide to improve mech...
