A peptide gemini surfactant, 12-G(NH2)LG(NH2)-12, has been constructed with two dodecyl chains separately attached to the two terminals of a glutamic acid-lysine-glutamic acid peptide and the aggregation behavior of the surfactant was studied in aqueous solution. The 12-G(NH2)LG(NH2)-12 molecules form fiber-like precipitates around pH 7.0, and the precipitation range is widened on increasing th...

A hybrid composite based on metal-organic framework (MOF) was chemically fabricated by embedding the magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles within amino-functionalized porous La-MOF (MOF/NH2) to produce a highly efficient and reusable of MOF/NH2/Fe3O4. Different proper techniques were used for characterization surface morphology chemical arrangement prepared MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite. The results using var...

Herein we report that mixed zirconium-cerium-MOFs with amino-functionalized linkers (2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, BDC-NH2, and 4-aminonaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate, NDC-NH2) act as effective non-noble-metal-based heterogeneous catalysts, for both the aerobic photooxidation of benzylic alcohols direct microwaves activation N-alkylation amines alcohols. The catalytic performance has been stu...

UNLABELLED The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors are important biomarkers for imaging pancreatic β-cell mass and detection of benign insulinomas. Using GLP-1 receptor antagonists, we aimed to eliminate the insulin-related side effects reported for all GLP-1 receptor agonists. Additionally, using a nonresidualizing tracer, (125)I-Bolton-Hunter-Exendin(9-39)NH2 ((125)I-BH-Ex(9-39)NH2), we...

The treatment of Sb (III) wastewater produced from mining activities is uniquely challenging and has therefore garnered increasing attention. Here, an amino-modified zirconium-based metal-organic framework material (UiO-66-NH2) its composites were loaded onto graphene oxide (GO@UiO-66-NH2) via the hydrothermal method, after which these materials used to adsorb in mine wastewater. effects adsorp...

We evaluated the systemic hemodynamic effects induced by nociceptin (NC) and NC-related peptides, including the NC receptor antagonist [Phe1psi(CH2-NH)Gly2]NC(1-13)NH2 ([F/G]NC(1-13)NH2) in unanesthetized normotensive Swiss Morini mice. Bolus intravenous injection of NC decreased mean blood pressure and heart rate. The hypotensive response to 10 nmol/kg NC lasted <10 minutes, whereas a more pro...

A novel amino-functionalized silica-coated nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI@SiO2-NH2) was successfully synthesized by using one-step liquid-phase method with the surface functionalization of nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) to enhance degradation of chlorinated organic contaminants from anaerobic microbial system. NZVI@SiO2-NH2 nanoparticles were synthesized under optimal conditions with the uni...
