tripropylammonium fluorochromate(vi) (tpafc), is an efficient and new reagent, which isprepared easily and oxidizes thiols to the corresponding disulfides, quickly. the reactions areperformed cleanly and are controlled to stop at the disulfide stage, without over-oxidation andside products. coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides, are studied in solution atroom temperature and in s...

To contribute to the development of a reference reagent for monitoring heparin therapy, a lyophilized partial thromboplastin time (PTT) reagent was prepared from synthetic dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylserine, and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine, with colloidal silica as activator. The reagent, coded 91/558, was contained in sealed glass ampoules; it deteriorated in a heat d...

Reduction of oxi me fu nctionality to amine is an important synthetic transformation . As ox imes are stable derivatives of carbonyl compounds, subsequent reduction to amines is an attractive two-step procedure for reductive ami nation . Red uction of oximes to amines can be performed by hydride reducing agents or by catalytic hydrogenation.' Among hydride reducing agents, lithium aluminium hyd...

bainitic transformation at low transformation temperatures leads to a microstructure involving fine plates of bainitic ferrite and thin films of retained austenite. this microstructure has shown ultimate tensile strength of about 2.2 gpa, noticeable uniform elongation in the range of 5 to 30%, hardness values of about 600 to 670 hv and impact toughness in the range of 30 to 40 mpa m1/2. with ca...

A nuclear antigen associated with cell proliferation (proliferating cell nuclear antigen-PCNA) and blast transformation is recognized by autoantibodies in the sera of some patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. This autoantibody is a precipitating antibody and also reacts in immunofluorescence, staining the nucleoplasm of proliferating and blast-transformed cells. The autoantibody was used...

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for the development of cervical neoplasia.  Infection with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a major risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. The virus encodes three oncoproteins (E5, E6 and E7), of which, the E7 oncoprotein is the major protein involved in cell immortalization and transformation o...

R ECENTLY a new reagent was proposed for the determination of cholesterol (1, 2). This reagent was purported to be saturated ferrous sulfate in glacial acetic acid. Since it has been reported that ferrous sulfate is qualitatively insoluble in anhydrous acetic acid (3, 4) and that ferrous iron is “subject to pronounced air oxidation in glacial acetic acid” (5), it was felt that several factors s...

Due to the unique optical properties like high brightness and narrow emission bands of Quantum dots, it is used as simple fluorescence materials in bio-imaging, immunoassays, microarrays, and other applications. To easy invistigate cell lines that overexpressed somtostatin receptors, somatostatin (SST) was conjugated with Quantum dots carrying PEG amine (Qdots-PEG-NH2). The conjugation of SST t...

A new selective reagent was used for simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium in real samples with their different kinetic spectrophotometric properties. The method is based on the difference in the rate of the oxidation reaction of the recently synthesized reagent, nitro benzoyl diphenylmethylen phosphorane (N-BDMP), with Hg2+ and Pd2+. The kinetic profiles were monitored and record...
