Cell wall-degrading enzymes produced in vitro by isolates of Phaeosphaeria nodorum differing in aggressiveness
2000
The relationships between in vitro production of cell wall-degrading enzymes and aggressiveness of three Phaeosphaeria nodorum isolates were investigated. When grown in liquid medium containing 1% cell wall from wheat leaves as the carbon source, the isolates secreted xylanase, α-arabinosidase, β-xylosidase, polygalacturonase, β-galactosidase, cellulase, β-1,3-glucanase, β-glucosidase, acetyl esterase and butyrate esterase. Time-course experiments showed different levels of enzyme production and different kinetics between isolates. A highly aggressive isolate produced more xylanase, cellulase, polygalacturonase and butyrate esterase than did the two weakly aggressive isolates. Xylanase was …
Endogenous Role of Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase
2005
The specific activities of microsomal epoxide hydrolase with 16α,17α-epoxyandrosten-3-one (androstene oxide) as substrate were measured in various metabolically important and in various steroidogenic organs of the male and female rat and compared with the activities of 16α,17α-epoxyestratrienol (estroxide) and benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide. Androstene oxide was an exceptionally good substrate. The specific activities differed widely between organs but the ratio of the activities towards these substrates was constant in all organs investigated. The ratios compared to benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide were 2.5 for estroxide, and 8.6 for androstene oxide. The ontogenetic development of specific epoxide hydr…
A three-dimensional model of mammalian tyrosinase active site accounting for loss of function mutations
2007
Tyrosinases are the first and rate-limiting enzymes in the synthesis of melanin pigments responsible for colouring hair, skin and eyes. Mutation of tyrosinases often decreases melanin production resulting in albinism, but the effects are not always understood at the molecular level. Homology modelling of mouse tyrosinase based on recently published crystal structures of non-mammalian tyrosinases provides an active site model accounting for loss-of-function mutations. According to the model, the copper-binding histidines are located in a helix bundle comprising four densely packed helices. A loop containing residues M374, S375 and V377 connects the CuA and CuB centres, with the peptide oxyge…
ChemInform Abstract: Novel Prolinamide-Supported Polystyrene as Highly Stereoselective and Recyclable Organocatalyst for the Aldol Reaction.
2008
A new prolinamide derivative anchored to a polystyrene support has been straightforwardly prepared and employed as heterogeneous catalyst in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction with good results in terms of yield and stereoselectivity. The optimal reaction conditions were found when a 1:2 (v/v) water/chloroform mixture was used. This mixture was the best compromise between the good swelling properties of chloroform and the formation of a concentrated organic phase due to the presence of water. Noticeably, the enantioselectivities obtained employing acetone as ketone were, to the best of our knowledge, the highest achieved with a supported proline derivative. This catalyst can be easily rec…
A Photoredox-Catalyzed Four Component Reaction for the Atom-Efficient Synthesis of Complex Secondary Amines
2020
The one-pot sulfonylation/aminoalkylation of styrene derivatives furnishing highly substituted gamma-sulfonylamines was accomplished through a photoredox-catalyzed four-component reaction. Apart from one molecule of water and the sodium counterion of the sulfinate, all atoms of the starting materials are transferred to the final product, rendering this process highly atom-efficient. The operationally simple protocol allows for the simultaneous formation of three new single bonds (C–S, C–N, and C–C) and therefore grants rapid access to structurally diverse products. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions in aqueous acetonitrile and shows a broad scope, including natural products and dru…
Synthetic methods for the preparation of polystyrene resins containing chiral polyamine chains
1998
Abstract The preparation of functionalized polystyrene-divinylbenzene resins containing functional groups derived from polyamine aliphatic chains has been studied. Best results are always obtained by direct alkylation of the polyamine with Merrifield's polymers, but double alkylation at both end of the polyamine is observed. The procedure is useful for the preparation of polymer containing different chiral and non-chiral polyamine functionalities.
Über einige niedermolekulare modellverbindungen für polyacroleine. Polymere acroleine. 24. mitt.
1962
Fur die in Redoxpolymerisaten des Acroleins diskutierten Grundbausteine konnen folgende Verbindungen als niedermolekulare Modellsubstanzen betrachtet werden: Isobutyraldehyd, Glutardialdehyd, 2-Hydroxy-tetrahydropyran, 2-(2-Tetrahydropyranyloxy)-tetrahydropyran und 2,6-Dialkoxytetrahydropyrane. An diesen Modellverbindungen werden die mit Polyacroleinen durchgefuhrten Umsetzungen diskutiert. Es ergeben sich Aussagen uber den Reaktionsverlauf, die erzielbaren Umsetzungsgrade und die Zuordnung von IR-Absorptionsbanden. Die Reaktionen der Polyacroleine fuhren danach entweder zu Tetrahydropyran-Derivaten oder zu acyclischen Aldehyd-Derivaten. For the discussed basic units in the redoxpolymer of …
Polymer Retention Mechanism in GPC on Active Gels
1980
Abstract The elution behaviour of low molecular weight polystyrene (PS) down to the monomer on spherosil gel in several eluents has been studied. In the medium range of molecular weights the elution behaviour is similar to that followed by high molecular weight PS, the differences in elution volumes among different eluents increasing monotonically with decreasing molecular weight and partition rather than adsorption probably being responsible for the shifts in retention volumes. However, at the total permeation limit, the situation is alike to that found in liquid-solid chromatography, the elution volumes of solutes with molecular sizes very close to that of styrene being determined by solv…
Single Particle Motion of Hard-Sphere-Like Polymer Micronetwork Colloids Up to the Colloid Glass Transition
1997
Polymer micronetwork spheres swollen in a good solvent can be regarded as colloids which require no special stabilisation to avoid aggregation. Their interactions can be timed by changing the degree of internal crosslinking. The phase behaviour and the static structure factor demonstrate that crosslink density of 1:10 (inverse number of monomer units between crosslinks) is sufficient to achieve hard sphere behaviour. We designed a host-tracer system consisting of core-shell micronetwork spheres (core: polystyrene; shell: poly-t-butylacrylate) in a host of refractive-indexmatched poly-t-butylacrylate micronetwork colloids. Employing a crosslink density of 1:10 and tuning the polydispersity s…
QENS from polymeric micelles in supercritical CO[sub 2]
2000
We report QENS measurements from PS-b-PFOA aggregates in supercritical CO2. These consist of dense cores of CO2-insoluble polystyrene surrounded by a ‘corona’ of PFOA surfactant molecules whose CO2-philic groups interface with supercritical CO2. Lineshapes are dominated by localized diffusive modes and segmental dynamics of the anchored, finite-length PFOA chains. For Q∼0.6 A−1, we obtain effective diffusion coefficients of ≈0.8×10−6 cm2/sec. At higher Q, a single component is not sufficient as shown by excess intensity on the flanks. For Q>1.5 A−1, the wings reflect contributions due to a distribution of faster, more localized chain modes.
