the structure of n,n'-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine, c19h22n2o2, has been studied at low temperature (120k) by means of single-crystal x-ray diffraction. solving the structure shows an orthorhombic unit cell, with p212121 space group, z = 4, a = 6.1046 (4) å, b = 15.8349 (11)å, c = 17.2898 (12) å and v = 1671.3 (2) å3. there are two relatively strong hydrogen bonds (...

The interaction of the external donor (propyltrimethoxysilane - PTMS) with titanium-magnesium catalysts (TMCs) containing dibutylphthalate (DBP) as internal donor, which were prepared in different ways, was studied by chemical analysis and infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The chemical composition of the catalysts after their interaction with heptane solutions of PTMS, PTMS/Al...

Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate vitamin C interaction withN-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles. The adsorption of vitamin C on the energy favorable fivefoldcoordinated titanium sites was investigated. Various adsorption geometries of vitamin C towardsthe nanoparticle were examined. Since the adsorption energies of N-doped nanoparticles are higherthan those of ...

The matrix elements of the deformation potential of C 70 are calculated by means of a simple, yet accurate solution of the electron-phonon coupling problem in fullerenes, based on a parametrization of the ground state electronic density of the system in terms of sp 2+x hybridized orbitals. The value of the calculated dimensionless total electron-phonon coupling constant is λ ≈ 0.1, an order of ...

Kinetics of the reaction of peroxynitrite with ferric cytochrome c in the absence and presence of bicarbonate was studied. It was found that the heme iron in ferric cytochrome c does not react directly with peroxynitrite. The rates of the absorbance changes in the Soret region of cytochrome c spectrum caused by peroxynitrite or peroxynitrite/bicarbonate were the same as the rate of spontaneous ...

The inhibition of activated protein C by six different serine protease inhibitors (serpins) that have arginine residues in the P1 position has been investigated. Micromolar concentrations of C1-inhibitor failed to inhibit the enzyme, and it was inhibited only slowly by antithrombin III with an association rate constant (kass.) of 0.15 M-1.s-1. The kass. values for the other serpins tested (prot...

Background and objectives: Interaction of compounds with ct-DNA can affect the replication, protein synthesis and cell division. Different species of the genus Ferula (Apiaceae) have shown various biomedical applications for many centuries. Biological features of this genus such as cytotoxicity, antibacterial, antiviral, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitory and antiinflamm...
