Two Iron-Sulfur Proteins Involved in Isoprenoid Biosynthesis with New Catalytic Roles
(2010-08-05)
(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate synthase (GcpE or IspG) and (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (LytB or IspH) are involved in the last two steps of the DOXP pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. ...
Synthesis and Application of Novel N-halamine Antimicrobial Materials
(2010-08-10)
Several novel antimicrobial N-halamines have been synthesized and were incorporated into water-soluble latex paint. These paints were expected to render good biocidal capability and the antimicrobial activity to be ...
Organic Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices Based on Diphenylamine End-group Polymers
(2010-12-01)
This work mainly focuses on making a series of organic diodes and photovoltaic devices based on electroconducting polymers with diphenylamine end-groups for their monomers. Most of them are with structural motif of R-X-R. ...
Smart Materials for Advanced Applications: Self-Decontaminating Polymers, Photofunctional Composites, and Electroconductive Fibers
(2010-12-17)
Materials capable of providing multifunctional properties controllable by some external stimulus (pH, light, temperature, etc) are highly desirable and obtainable given recent advancements in material science. Development ...
Purine Carbocyclic Nucleside Analogues as Antiviral Agents
(2010-12-07)
The carbocyclic nucleosides aristeromycin and neplanocin A are two of the most potent inhibitors of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, an enzyme that plays a critical role in methyl transfer reactions during a viral replication ...
Design and Synthesis of 3-Deazaaristeromycin Derivatives
(2010-12-07)
Analogs of naturally occurring nucleosides have served as structural models for the design of antitumor, antiviral, and antibacterial agents. The carbocyclic nucleosides aristeromycin and neplanocin A are two examples that ...
Production, Characterization and Structure Determination of the C-terminal Domain of Stt3p: the Catalytic Subunit of Yeast Oligosaccharyl Transferase
(2010-08-03)
N-glycosylation, the most ubiquitous protein modification in eukaryotes, is catalyzed by the enzyme complex Oligosaccharyl Transferase (OT). This protein co-translational modification has been implicated in a multitude of ...
