the complexation reactions between diacetyl monooxime (damo), imidazole (him), histamine (hist) and histidine (his) with co2+, ni2+ and cu2+ were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at 25 °c and m= 0.5 m kno3. the overall stability constants log b's of species were obtained by computer refinement of ph-volume data using best computer program. several models were tested and, based on ...

The membrane-bound, 26 000-Mr penicillin-binding protein of Streptomyces K15 has been isolated in the form of an effective, penicillin-sensitive D-alanyl-D-alanine-cleaving peptidase exhibiting high transpeptidase activity (greater than 95%) and very low carboxy-peptidase activity (less than 5%). The penicillin-binding protein/transpeptidase can be extracted directly from the mycelium with N-ce...

The design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle has been implemented in metabolic engineering processes for optimizing the production of valuable compounds, including food ingredients. However, use recombinant microorganisms producing ingredients is associated with different challenges, e.g., EU, a content more than 0.9% such requires to be labeled. Therefore, we propose expand DBTL and “learn” module...

The title methyl benzoate compound, C(12)H(11)Br(2)NO(4), consists of an ortho-substituted diacetyl-amino group and meta-substituted Br atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Fluorescent molecules are essential for basic research in the biological sciences and have numerous practical applications. Herein is described the synthesis and use of a new class of latent fluorophores based on a novel design element, the trimethyl lock, that confers distinct advantages over extant fluorophores and pro-fluorophores. A diacetyl version of the latent fluorophore is stable in a ...

OBJECTIVES To better understand respiratory symptoms and lung function in flavouring manufacturing workers. METHODS We offered a questionnaire and lung function testing to the current workforce of a flavouring manufacturing facility that had transitioned away from diacetyl and towards substitutes in recent years. We examined symptoms, spirometric parameters and diffusing capacity measurements...

LY191145 is an N-alkylated glycopeptide antibiotic (the p-chlorobenzyl derivative of LY264826) with activity against vancomycin-susceptible and -resistant bacteria. Similar to vancomycin, LY191145 inhibited polymerization of peptidoglycan when muramyl pentapeptide served as a substrate but not when muramyl tetrapeptide was used, signifying a substrate-dependent mechanism of inhibition. Examinat...
