freshly prepared zno nanoparticles were used as an effective heterogeneous base catalyst for the synthesis of aryloximes. the conversion of arylaldehydes and arylketones into the corresponding oximes (up to quantitative yields) was achieved by simply mixing the liquid reactants and hydroxylamine hydrochloride with zno nanoparticles under solvent-free condition. the procedure was carried out und...

Constraint-based modeling is an approach for quantitative prediction of net reaction flux in genome-scale biochemical networks. In vivo, the second law of thermodynamics requires that net macroscopic flux be forward, when the transformed reaction Gibbs energy is negative. We calculate the latter by using (i) group contribution estimates of metabolite species Gibbs energy, combined with (ii) exp...

a very efficient one-pot three-component synthesis of pyran derivatives has been improved by condensation of aldehydes and malononitrile with dimedone under 80 °c using sucrose as natural and biodegradable catalyst in water. this method offers some advantages including inexpensive, high to quantitative yields, short reaction time, and easy work-up. therefore, this methodology is entirely green ...

This communication deals principally with the development of a method for the quantitative fluorometric measurement of the natural estrogens and introduces data on a similar test method for the quantitative determination of cholesterol. To achieve this goal, use has been made of the condensat.ion reaction of phenolic steroids with phthalic anhydride (1, 2). In view of the wide-spread interest i...

A highly practical and efficient preparation of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives was developed via an efficient and simple nanocatalyst and promoted multi-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, and urea in the presence of a catalytic amount of (CTA)3[SiW12]-Li+-MMT under solvent-free conditions. In comparison to the conve...

We report a simple method of enzymatic synthesis of pre-adenylated DNA linkers/adapters for next-generation sequencing using thermostable RNA ligase from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (MthRnl). Using RNA ligase for the reaction instead of the existing chemical or T4 DNA ligase-based methods allows quantitative conversion of 5'-phosphorylated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to the adenylated ...
