simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Multicomponent Synthesis of Dihydropyridinone Containing Cyclic RGD Peptides
Inhibition of binding of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins fibrinogen and vitronectin to the IIbβ3 and vβ3 integrins, respectively, is of great pharmaceutical interest. Both receptors recognize the RGD tripeptide sequence, which is present in these natural ligands. The development of antagonists for these integrins is therefore often based on this tripeptide unit and several cyclic RGD pept...
متن کاملBiological self-assembly of injectable hydrogel as cell scaffold via specific nucleobase pairing.
A biological hydrogel was self-assembled via Watson-Crick base pairing of thymine and adenine from functionalized star poly(ethylene glycol). Our work should provide a novel methodology to generate robust injectable scaffolds with tailorable properties for biomedical applications.

Nucleobase interactions play a fundamental role in biological functions, including transcription and translation. Natural nucleic acids like DNA are also widely implemented in material realm such as DNA guided self-assembly of nanomaterials. Inspired by that, polymer chemists have contributed phenomenal endeavors to mimic both the structures and functions of natural nucleic acids in synthetic p...
متن کاملChymotrypsin responsive hydrogel: application of a disulfide exchange protocol for the preparation of methacrylamide containing peptides.
Methacrylamide groups were selectively coupled to cysteine residues in the presence of amines and alcohols by utilizing a disulfide exchange reaction in aqueous, acidic buffer. The tetrapeptide sequence, CYKC, was used as a cross-linker to create poly(acrylamide) hydrogels that dissolved when subjected to either a flowing or stationary solution of alpha-chymotrypsin. Control hydrogels that were...
