The distribution of thiols in mixed SAMs can be determined in a straightforward manner from spectrophotometric titrations using a fluorescent probe. A plot of saturation concentration as a function of mole fraction provides information on the number of headgroups involved in binding.

High pressure density behaviors for fluid mixtures made of carbon dioxide with solvent, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 2-propyl acetate, methanol, 1-propanol, or 2-propanol, at 313.15 K were satisfactorily correlated. The standard deviations were between 0.4 and 2.2 kg m -3 in density for each system in the composition range from 0.00 to 0.95 mole fraction of carbon dioxide.

Experimental liquid-liquid equilibria of the water-chloroform-acetic acid system were studied at temperature of 298.15 K. Complete phase diagrams were obtained by determining solubility and tie-line data. Data for the construction of ties-lines were determined by preparing mixtures of known mole fraction of components in the region of formation of two phases. Separation factors were evaluated f...

The theory and results of solvent structure control on solute behavior for ordinary chemical reactions, generated in other laboratories (e.g. by Arnett and colleagues), were applied to enzyme reactions in water-organic cosolvent binary mixtures. Three kinds of reactions were studied: (a) catalysis of substrate reactions; (b) denaturation, judged by loss of overall activity; (c) renaturation, ai...

OBJECTIVE Poly [2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphoryl choline (MPC)-co-n-buthyl methacrylate (BMA)-co-p-nitrophenyl-oxycrabonyl poly ethylene glycol-methacrylate (ME- ONP)] (PMBN), a biocompatible terpolymer, is a unique polymer with applications that range from drug delivery systems (DDS) to scaffolds and biomedical devices. In this research, we have prepared a monomer of p-nitrophenyl-oxycarbonyl...

Mixed micelles of l,2-diheptanoyl-sn-grycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC) with ionic detergents were prepared to develop well characterized substrates for the study of lipolytic enzymes. The aggregates that formed on mixing DHPC with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and with the positively charged dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) were investigated using time-resolved fluor...

Iso-octane ignition delay times (τign) and hydroxyl (OH) radical mole fraction (χOH) time histories were measured under conditions relevant to homogeneous charge compression ignition engine operating regimes using the University of Michigan rapid compression facility. Absolute quantitative OH mole fraction time histories were obtained using differential narrow-line laser absorption of the R1(5)...

A novel class of potent human cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (GIVA PLA(2)) inhibitors was developed. These inhibitors were designed to contain the 2-oxoamide functionality and a free carboxyl group. Among the compounds tested, a long-chain 2-oxoamide containing L-gamma-norleucine was the most potent inhibitor, causing a 50% decrease in GIVA PLA(2) activity at 0.009 mole fraction.

[1] Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important interstellar species, and their precursor benzene (C6H6) has been detected in our solar system. In this study the possibility of benzene formation in the atmosphere of Titan is investigated. Benzene abundance in Titan’s atmosphere is found to be rather highly dependent on the assumed mechanism for benzene production. Assuming reactions i...

conclusions our histochemical findings showed a relatively heavy glycosylation of syncytiotrophoblasts of both partial and complete molar tissues, which was prominent in apical portion. this may play a role in their capacity to increase trophoblastic proliferation. results the partial and complete moles generally showed similar reactivity with all used lectins. none of lectins reacted with vill...
