approximately all sequenced archaeal and half of eubacterial genomes have some sort of adaptive immune system, which enables them to target and cleave invading foreign genetic elements by an rnai-like pathway. crispr–cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–crispr-associated proteins) systems consist of the crispr loci with multiple copies of a short repeat sequence separa...

background: the incorporation of thallium-201 into 8-hydroxyquinoline was targeted for cell labeling due to interesting physical properties and wide availability of this nuclide as a single photon emission computed tomography (spect) radionuclide. materials and methods: thallium-201 (t1/2=3.04 d) in tl+ form was converted to tl3+ cation in presence of o3/6m hcl and di-isopropyl ether, controlle...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

background: dengue is a global arboviral threat to humans; causing 390 million infections per year. the availability of safe and effective tetravalent dengue vaccine is a global requirement to prevent epidemics, morbidity, and mortality associated with it. methods: five experimental groups (6 mice per group) each of 5-week-old balb/c mice were immunized with vaccine and placebo (empty plasmid) ...

aim : the aim of present study was to screen two categories of psychiatric disorders in chronic functional constipation. background : it has been established that the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders among patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders is higher than in the general population. patients and methods : fifty four constipated patients were recruited from patients refer...
