Biochemistry at Liverpool 1902-1971.

THIS paper begins by surveying the state of biochemical knowledge at the turn of the century. It then records how in 1902 the first British Chair of Biochemistry was founded. It goes on to describe some contributions to the subject made at Liverpool prior to the 1939-1945 war and notes that many of these advances were made by people trained in other disciplines. Finally some highlights from a s...

An Outbreak of Plague at Arrah in 1902-1903

The buboes generally^ appeared between two to four days from the date of attack and in some instances the appearance of buboes and fever was simultaneous. The above statement will show the different sites of buboes in 167 cases under my treatment and the percentage of cures. In one case the bubo appeared at about the middle of left forearm anteriorly, and in another case at about the middle of ...

N-(2-Hydroxy­ethyl)-N-(tricyclo­[3.3.1.13,7]dec-2-yl)benzamide

The title adamantane derivative, C(19)H(25)NO(2), was synthesized as part of a study into potential anti-tuberculosis agents. The adamantane skeleton displays shorter than normal C-C bond lengths ranging between 1.5230 (15) and 1.5329 (16) Å. The structure displays O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and an inter-digitated layered packing structure with distinct hydro-philic and hydro-phobic regions.

2-(Tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-2-ylamino)ethanol hemihydrate

The title adamantane derivative, C(12)H(21)NO·0.5H(2)O, was synthesized as part of an investigation into the biological activities of cage amino-alcohol compounds as potential anti-tuberculosis agents. The structure displays inter-molecular O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and a layered packing structure with distinct hydro-philic and hydro-phobic regions. The water molecule lies on a twofo...
