8-Alkyl Adenines and Their Nucleoside Derivatives 

Abouelghit, Maha (2011-07-28)
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase has become an important target in the design of antiviral drugs. It is the only known enzyme in eukaryotes that is responsible for the catabolism of S-adenosylhomocysteine into adenosine ...

Biomimicking of Enzymes for Textile Processing 

Ren, Xuehong (2006-12-15)
Enzymes are very large protein compounds. A small portion of their structure constitutes their highly specific active site which is fundamentally responsible for the catalytic capability of the enzymes. To mimic the active ...

Catalytic Mechanism of a Flavin-Dependent Alkanesulfonate Monoxygenase from Escherichia coli 

Zhan, Xuanzhi (2008-08-15)
The flavin-dependent alkanesulfonate monooxygenase (SsuD) catalyzes the oxidation of alkanesulfonate to aldehyde and sulfite in the presence of O2 and FMNH2 provided by an FMN reductase (SsuE). The goal of these studies ...

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Investigation and Immobilization Of Copper(II) Complexes as Oxidation Catalysts 

Gichinga, Moses (2009-08-04)
Schiff-base complexes that function as catalysts in aqueous media have been developed. The design of environmentally benign metal catalysts with multidentate ligands is a field of intense current interest. Transition metal ...

Synthetic Explorations to Sinefungin Analogs 

Zhao, Guoxia (2009-05-15)
Sinefungin, a natural complex nucleoside, has been isolated from the cultures of Streptomyces griseolous, and from that of Streptomyces incarnatus. It is a structural analog of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and since its ...

Toward a Breathable Fabric for Protection Against Airborne Toxic Chemicals, and an Olefin-Forming Cascade Reaction En Route to 2,2’-Bi(glycerol) 

Li, Xiaoxun (2009-07-31)
Part I. Several compounds that were envisioned to interact strongly with airborne chemical warfare agents, principally organophosphorus nerve agents, were synthesized. This was part of a multi-site, multi-investigator ...

Tris(1,3-Dihydroxy-2-propyl)amine, A Planar Trialkylamine: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties. A Potential Precursor to Hypervalent Nitrogen 

Jie, Yuanping (2006-05-15)
The hindered amine tris(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propyl)amine, 36, is a potential precursor to possible examples of nitrogen hypervalency. There are no simple, effective, and general methods to synthesize hindered tertiary amines. ...
