Enzyme Cytochemistry of Fungi
1973
Summary The results of a great number of investigationshave shown that enzyme cytochemical methods, which have been developed for the study of animal and human histology and cytology, can be successfully used for the study of enzyme patterns in yeasts, moulds, slime moulds, dermatophytes, phytopathogenic fungi and basidiomycetes. Whereas with the older, relatively unspecific procedures only presence or absence of enzymes could be studied, improved techniques allow the examination of the intracellular localization of enzymes under the light and especially the electron microscope. The results of those investigations are described together with methodological aspects of cultivation, incubation…
Asialofetuin Liposomes for Receptor-Mediated Gene Transfer into Hepatic Cells
2003
Publisher Summary The liver is an excellent organ for gene transfer in treating a wide variety of diseases that affect liver function. It is an ideal organ for a high amount of expression of therapeutic genes and efficient systemic distribution of the resulting therapeutic proteins secreted into the bloodstream. For strategies of liver-destined gene therapy, the liver sinusoid endothelium contains pores with a mean diameter of 100 nm, which allow small vectors to leave the blood circulation and reach the hepatocytes. The preparation of asialofetuin–liposomes targeted to hepatocytes can be made by covalent coupling of asialofetuin glycoprotein (ASF) onto the liposome surface, by the use of h…
Photoaffinity cross-linking of F1ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 by 3′-arylazido-β-alanyl-2-azido ATP
1989
AbstractThe photoactivatable bifunctional 3′-arylazido-β-alanyl-2-azido ATP (2,3′-DiN3ATP) has been applied to study the localization of the nucleotide-binding sites of coupling factor 1 (F1ATPase, TF1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 by photoaffinity cross-linking. UV irradiation of TF1 in the presence of 2,3′-DiN3ATP results in the nucleotide-dependent formation of various higher molecular mass cross-links formed by two, three or even four α- and/or β-subunits. The differences observed upon photoaffinity cross-linking by the bifunctional 2-azido ATP or 8-azido ATP analog are discussed. They are probably due to the varied maximal distance between both azido groups, or to the different …
Comparative effect of supercritical carbon dioxide and high pressure processing on structural changes and activity loss of oxidoreductive enzymes
2019
Abstract Due to the CO2 specific characteristics, it has been used as supercritical (Sc) fluid for several applications, including enzyme inactivation. The influence of Sc-CO2 (10–65 MPa/10–30 min/35–65 °C) on mushroom polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and horseradish peroxidase (POD) was evaluated and the results were compared with those found using high pressure processing (HPP) (200–900 MPa/5–45 °C/1–15 min). The free ion concentration was also studied to compare the enzymatic activity and changes in electrical conductivity. Additionally both enzymes, untreated or treated using either Sc-CO2 or HPP, were used as additives in the CuCl2 crystallization method. The resulting additive-specific CuCl2 …
Studies of Nature of Uncommon Bifurcated I–I···(I–M) Metal-Involving Noncovalent Interaction in Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Isocyanide Cocrystals
2021
Two isostructural trans-[MI2(CNXyl)2]·I2 (M = Pd or Pt; CNXyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide) metallopolymeric cocrystals containing uncommon bifurcated iodine···(metal–iodide) contact were obtained. In addition to classical halogen bonding, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a rare type of metal-involved stabilizing contact in both cocrystals. The nature of the noncovalent contact was studied computationally (via DFT, electrostatic surface potential, electron localization function, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and noncovalent interactions plot methods). Studies confirmed that the I···I halogen bond is the strongest noncovalent interaction in the systems, followed …
Understanding the kinetic solvent effects on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzonitrile N-oxide: a DFT study
2011
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, ISSN : 0894-3230, DOI : 10.1002/poc.1858, Issue : 7, Volume : 24, pp. 611 – 618, JUILLET 2011.
An Understanding of the Electrophilic/Nucleophilic Behavior of Electro-Deficient 2,3-Disubstituted 1,3-Butadienes in Polar Diels−Alder Reactions. A D…
2008
The electrophilic/nucleophilic behavior of dimethyl 2,3-dimethylenesuccinate 1, an electron-deficient 2,3-disubstituted 1,3-butadiene, in polar Diels-Alder reactions has been studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The electronic nature of bonding of the transition structures involved in the cycloaddition reactions of the diene 1 toward the nucleophilically activated dienophile 6 and the strong electrophilically activated dienophile 7 has been carefully examined within the natural bond orbital (NBO) and the topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) frameworks. Additionally, a study of the global electrophilicity pattern of the reagents at the …
Better understanding of the ring-cleavage process of cyanocyclopropyl anionic derivatives. A theoretical study based on the electron localization fun…
2005
[reaction: see text] Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d), MP2/6-31+G(d), and G3(MP2) levels have been carried out to understand the alternative reaction pathways (the cyclopropyl ring cleavage (RC) and the retrocycloaddition reaction (rCA)) of a constrained tricyanocyclopropyl anionic derivative. The more energetically favorable path is found to be the RC process, a formally "forbidden" rearrangement (Leiviers, M.; Tam, I.; Groves, K.; Leung, D.; Xie, Y.; Breslow, R. Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 19, 3407) yielding an allylic anion system via a concerted transition structure, in agreement with experimental outcomes. rCA is more energetically favorable along a two-stage mechanism, via an i…
NIR laser scanning microscopy for photophysical characterization of upconversion nanoparticles and nanohybrids
2021
Photophysical characterization of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and nanohybrids (UCNHs) is more challenging than that of down-conversion nanomaterials. Moreover, it is still difficult to gain knowledge about the homogeneity of the sample and colocalization of emissive chromophores and nanoparticles in nanohybrids. Near infrared laser scanning microscopy (NIR-LSM) is a well-known and useful imaging technique, which enables excitation in the NIR region and has been extensively applied to optical fluorescence imaging of organic fluorophores and nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, which exhibit a short-lived emission. NIR-LSM has recently been used to determine the empirical emission life…
