The effect of milk and milk components on the deodorization of diallyl disulfide (DADS), allyl methyl disulfide (AMDS), allyl mercaptan (AM), allyl methyl sulfide (AMS), and methyl mercaptan (MM) in the headspace of garlic as well as in the mouth- and nose-space after garlic ingestion was investigated using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). Fat-free and whole milk significantl...

A simple acetoxymercuration reaction for introducing covalently bound mercury atoms into nucleotides is described. The 5-mercuriacetate derivatives of UTP, CTP, dUTP, and dCTP, as well as the 7-mercuriacetate derivative of 7-deazaATP, have been prepared by this procedure and tested as substrates for nucleic acid polymerases. These nucleotides, in the absence of added mercaptan, are not polymeri...

Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced by oral anaerobes are the major compounds responsible for oral malodor. Enterococcus faecium WB2000 is recognized as an antiplaque probiotic bacterium. In this study, the effect of E. faecium WB2000 on VSC production by Porphyromonas gingivalis was evaluated, and the mechanism of inhibition of oral malodor was investigated. P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 was ...

Penicillamine, dimethyl cysteine, thiovaline, remains the drug of choice for the treatment of patience with Wilson disease. It is also of value in the treatment of cysteinuria and rheumatoid arthritis, it has also been suggested that it has value in the management of other rare diseases. It also has multiple toxicities. The majority of these can be explained as chemical toxicity, for instance i...

Abstract Reckless discharge of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage as well frequent leakage crude oil have caused serious environmental problems posed severe threat to human survival. Various nature inspired superhy-drophobic surfaces been successfully applied in oily water remediation. However, further improvements are still urgently needed for practical application terms facile synthesi...

CdO nanoparticles show a strong peak of Plasmon absorption in ultraviolet-visible zone. A interaction exists between the surface and aryl mercaptan compounds. Aryl compounds cause to aggregation linked DNA/RNA hence, lead widening at 550 (nm) emerging new higher wavelength. In current project, this optical characteristic is used time investigate different mercaptanes nanoparticles. The results ...

In order to prepare, from radioactive sulfur, the sulfur-containing amino acids of a high order of specific activity for biological experiments such as those described in the foregoing publication, it was necessary (owing to the cost of radioactive sulfur) to investigate the efficiency of utilization of small amounts of sulfur. The synthetic methods utilized are not novel, but are described bel...

We present a versatile approach for tuning the surface functionality of an atomically precise 25 atom gold cluster using specific host-guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin (CD) and the ligand anchored on the cluster. The supramolecular interaction between the Au25 cluster protected by 4-(t-butyl)benzyl mercaptan, labeled Au25SBB18, and CD yielding Au25SBB18∩CDn (n = 1, 2, 3, and 4) has bee...

Following the recent identification of ethanethiol in the interstellar medium (ISM) we have carried out Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV) spectroscopy studies of ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH) from 10 K until sublimation in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber simulating astrochemical conditions. These results are compared with those of methanethiol (CH3SH), the lower order thiol also reported to be present in the ISM. ...
