Thin films (100-250 A) of several phthalocyanines (MgPc, ZnPc, AICIPc, TiOPc, CoPc, FePc, H2Pc) were investigated as sensitizers for photoelectrochemical processes at n-type Ti02 and W 0 3 single crystal electrodes in aqueous solution. The sensitized oxidation of several solution species (I-, Fe(CN)64-, hydroquinone, Fe(I1)-EDTA) occurred with photocurrents proportional to light intensity and s...

A new oxazole-containing proteasome inhibitor, secomycalolide A, together with known mycalolide A and 30-hydroxymycalolide A, was isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Mycale. They showed proteasome inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 11-45 μg/mL.

The structure of the title salt, C(12)H(12)N(+)·HSeO(4) (-), consists of infinite parallel two-dimensional planes built of 4-benzyl-pyridinium and hydrogen selenate ions that are mutually connected by strong O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. There are no contacts other than normal van der Waals inter-actions between the layers.

We investigated six cases of enterovirus infection in a neonatal unit. The index patient, a 5-day-old boy, was admitted with aseptic meningitis due to echovirus 30 (E30). Secondary infections with E30 occurred in five babies. Comparison of the complete VP1 sequences showed that the isolates recovered from the index patient and his mother were closely related to those recovered from the five bab...
