A novel wet-chemical method for the preparation of silver flakes was studied. The well-defined particles were prepared by directly adding FeSO4 solution into AgNO3 solution containing citric acid at an agitation speed of 150 r/min at room temperature. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that particles are irregular ...

In high throughput screening (HTS) campaigns, the quality and cost of commercial reagents suitable for pilot studies often create obstacles upon scale-up to a full screen. We faced such challenges in our efforts to implement an HTS for inhibitors of the phosphopantetheinyl transferase Sfp using an assay that had been validated using commercially available reagents. Here we demonstrate a facile ...

Nonsense codon suppression for unnatural amino acid incorporation requires the preparation of a suppressor aminoacyl-tRNA. Chemical acylation strategies are general but inefficient and arduous. A recent report (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 15848) showed acylation of RNA mediated by lanthanum(III) using amino acid phosphate esters. The successful implementation of this methodology to full-length...

In this study, wet-chemical process was performed to prepare nano-size hydroxyapatite (HA) powders (≈10 nm) by varying concentration (low, medium and high) of the starting solutions in order to increase the amount of as-dried HA powders with different process conditions. Particle sizes and density were analyzed and differential thermal analysis was used to determine the glass transition (Tg) an...

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of AgNO(3) with aniline in dilute aqueous solutions containing cetyltrimethlyammonium bromide, CTAB. Nanoparticles growth was assessed by UV-vis spectroscopy and the average particle size and the size distribution were determined from transmission electron microscopy, TEM. As the reaction proceeds, a typical plasmon absorption band at 390-450n...

  Objective: In order to use natural compounds in controlling plant pests and diseases, many researchers in recent years have studied the antifungal effects of essential oils and plant extracts.  The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antifungal effects of Echium khuzestanium and marubbium anisodan extract...

Presented here is a solid phase chemical ligation strategy employing native chemical ligation and the commercially available Rink-amide linker as a key element in our approach. The method was applied for the synthesis of histone H2B, which sets the ground for the rapid preparation of posttranslationally modified analogues of this protein.
