The relative configurations of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ethers of all four diastereomers of the aldols of tropinone (8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one), as well as of granatanone (9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one), were determined from NMR data, and from the observed interconversion of the diastereomers (exo,anti to endo,syn and exo,syn to endo,anti). The exo forms invert to...

Using a minicircle DNA primer-template, the wild-type catalytic subunit of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA polymerase (pol) was shown to lack significant strand displacement activity with or without its processivity factor, UL42. However, an exonuclease-deficient (exo ) pol (D368A) was capable of slow strand displacement. Although UL42 increased the rate (2/s) and processivity of strand...

Understanding the role of a given transcription factor (TF) in regulating gene expression requires precise mapping of its binding sites in the genome. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-exo, an emerging technique using λ exonuclease to digest TF unbound DNA after ChIP, is designed to reveal transcription factor binding site (TFBS) boundaries with near-single nucleotide resolution. Although ChIP-exo ...

The effect of fermentation parameters and medium composition on the simultaneous mycelial growth and exo-polymer production from submerged cultures of Ganoderma applanatum was investigated in shake-flask cultures. The optimum initial pH for mycelial growth and exo-polymer production was 5.0 and 6.0, respectively. The optimum temperature was 25℃ and the optimum inoculum content was 3.0% (v/v). T...

The 1, 3-bis(trimethyl silyl)ether of p-tert-butyl calix[4]arene, Rt-Bu)Ca1ixTMS21112, has beensynthesized and used as a dianionic ligand for "Sn". The complex of [(t-Bu)Ca1ixTMS2]Snexhibits exo and endo isomerism. The structural properties of [(Rp)Ca1ixTMS2]Sn, (Rpara= H,CH3, t-Bu) and the inter conversion of exoendo isomers were investigated by using of SCF-MOPM3 method.

The purified exo-inulinase enzyme ofAspergillus nigerN402 (AngInuE; heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli) displayed a sucrose:inulin (S/I) hydrolysis ratio of 2.3, characteristic for a typical exo-inulinase. The enzyme also had significant transfructosylating activity with increasing sucrose concentrations, producing various oligosaccharides. The AngInuE protein molecular mass was 57 kD...

Cp2Ti(TFA) is a broadly applicable catalyst for the [2+2] cycloaddition of bisenones by inner-sphere electron transfer. The attractiveness this mechanism shown comparison with outer-sphere ET methods. DFT calculations show that reaction proceeds through unique unfavorable 5-exo (the rate-determining step) and favorable 4-exo cyclization.

The role of 3' exonuclease excision in DNA polymerization was evaluated in primer extensions using 3' allele-specific primers that had exonuclease-digestible and exonuclease-resistant 3' termini. With exonuclease-digestible unmodified 3' mismatched primers, the exo+ polymerase yielded template-dependent products. Using exonuclease-resistant 3' mismatched primers, no primer-extended product resu...

RESUME Hypertelescopes, or " multi-aperture densified-pupil imaging optical arrays" can provide direct images with full luminosity at arbitrary aperture dilution . They can be equipped with coronagraphic masks for difficult imaging situations such as the search for exo-Earths at infra-red and visible wavelengths . For detecting faint planets, down to 10 relative intensity, multi-stage coronagra...

Little information is available on energy metabolism during exercise in girls, particularly the contribution of exogenous carbohydrate (CHO(exo)). The purpose of this study was to determine substrate utilization during exercise with and without CHO(exo) intake in healthy girls. Twelve-yr-old preadolescent (YG; n = 12) and 14-yr-old adolescent (OG; n = 10) girls consumed flavored water (WT) or (...
