In this research, the chemical recycling of terephthalic acid from PET waste by using nano Fe3O4@Py-APTS as solid support was reported. The performance of organically modified nano magnetic was examined in detail and the results were compared with unsupported reactions as the model. By using the solid support, the required time for complete glycolysis, consumption of solvent and catalyst, decre...

The Zaire ebolavirus protein VP24 was previously demonstrated to inhibit alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta)- and IFN-gamma-induced nuclear accumulation of tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT1 (PY-STAT1) and to inhibit IFN-alpha/beta- and IFN-gamma-induced gene expression. These properties correlated with the ability of VP24 to interact with the nuclear localization signal receptor for PY-STAT1, ka...

Five peaks of endonuclease activity showing a preference for ultraviolet-damaged DNA have been chromatographically identified from extracts of Micrococcus luteus. They are numerically designated as I to V in order of their elution from phosphocellulose (Whatman P-11) columns. The first two of these peaks have been highly purified by a combination of gel filtration and affinity chromatography an...

Short-lived nucleoprotein complexes (r-py complex) containing replicating polyoma DNA were isolated from infected cells after lysis with Triton X-100. The Triton lysing procedure of Green, Miller, and Hendler (1971) releases most complexes containing supercoiled viral DNA (py complex) from nuclei, but liberates only a portion of r-py complexes. r-py Complexes are associated more strongly with n...

Protein Y (PY) is an Escherichia coli cold-shock protein which has been proposed to be responsible for the repression of bulk protein synthesis during cold adaptation. Here, we present in vivo and in vitro data which clarify the role of PY and its mechanism of action. Deletion of yfiA, the gene encoding protein PY, demonstrates that this protein is dispensable for cold adaptation and is not res...

Various new thermally air- and water-stable alkyl and aryl analogues of (acac-O,O)2Ir(R)(L), R-Ir-L (acac-O,O = kappa2-O,O-acetylacetonate, -Ir- is the trans-(acac-O,O)2Ir(III) motif, R = CH3, C2H5, Ph, PhCH2CH2, L = Py) have been synthesized using the dinuclear complex [Ir(mu-acac-O,O,C3)-(acac-O,O)(acac-C3)]2, [acac-C-Ir]2, or acac-C-Ir-H2O. The dinuclear Ir (III) complexes, [Ir(mu-acac-O,O,C...

The Golden Ridge gold deposit is located in southwestern New Brunswick, the Canadian Appalachians. Gold mineralization consistently associated with acicular arsenopyrite, and to a lesser degree pyrite, disseminated host rocks, sulphide veinlets, quartz-carbonate veins, breccia matrix. According petrographic-based textural differences, four types of pyrite two arsenopyrite are recognized assembl...

The complex [(p-cym)Ru(bpm)(py)][PF(6)](2) (where p-cym = para-cymene, bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine and py = pyridine) is the first ruthenium(ii) arene complex that can selectively photodissociate a monodentate ligand (py) when excited with visible light and form a reactive aqua derivative able to bind to a DNA base.

[Ru(bpy)2(py-SO3)](+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and py-SO3 = pyridine-2-sulfonate) was found to undergo py-SO3 dissociation upon visible light irradiation (≥470 nm) via Ru-O homolysis, producing reactive free radical species, and is thus able to not only photobind but also photocleave DNA in hypoxic conditions.
