Reasoning about Biochemical Compounds

Many biological questions require reasoning with structure and function. We have begun by developing representations for structures which can be extended in a symmetric manner to functions. Each structure is represented as an arrangement of functional groups in a layered grammar. Expressing the function of these groups will then be equivalent to forming the antigerund of a noun. We illustrate t...

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

Biochemical and medical importance of vanadium compounds.

Vanadium belongs to the group of transition metals and is present in the air and soil contaminants in large urban agglomerations due to combustion of fossil fuels. It forms numerous inorganic compounds (vanadyl sulfate, sodium metavanadate, sodium orthovanadate, vanadium pentoxide) as well as complexes with organic compounds (BMOV, BEOV, METVAN). Depending on the research model, vanadium compou...

Microbial Degradation of Some Halogenated Compounds: Biochemical and Molecular Features

Due to the advance of organic and synthetic chemistry and many applications of man-made organic compounds, lots of xenobiotic chemicals are produced and benefit our life. However, some of them are persistent in the environment and their toxicities are accumulated through the food webs. Due to the potential hazard for human and the ecosystem, the regulations on the usage of these persistent orga...
