Platelets undergo shape change upon activation with agonists. During shape change, disc-shaped platelets turn into spiculated spheres with protruding filopodia. When agonist-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) increases were prevented using the cytosolic Ca(2+) chelator, 5, 5'-dimethyl-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (5, 5'-dimethyl-BAPTA), platelets still underwent shape change, alt...

In the title compound, C(15)H(14)O(2)S, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 8.46 -(8)°. The central enone group is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0267 Å) and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 1.20 (9)° with respect to the benzene ring and at 8.27 (9)° with respect to the thio-phene group. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into polymeric chains extending along the b axis due ...

The title complex, [Cu(3)WBrOS(3)(C(18)H(15)P)(3)], a neutral heavily distorted cubane-like W/S/Cu cluster, was self-assembled from ammonium trithio-tungstate(VI), cuprous bromide and triphenyl-phosphane in N,N-dimethyl-formamide. The average Cu-Br, Cu-S and W-μ(3)-S bond lengths are 2.731 (2), 2.318 (2) and 2.256 (2) Å, respectively, in the distorted cubane-like skeleton. The W atom exhibits t...

The multi-residue determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) is an important task due to the wide application and high toxicity of OPs. However, there is no promising immunoassay to monitor the multi-residue of O,O-dimethyl OPs. In this study, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against a generic hapten of O,O-dimethyl OPs (O,O-dimethyl O-(3-carboxyphenyl)phosphorothioate) was prepared. To deve...

In the title compound, [Cd(2)(C(6)H(8)O(4))(2)(C(16)H(20)N(4))(H(2)O)(4)](n), penta-gonal-bipyramidally coordinated Cd(II) ions are connected into {Cd(2)(2,2-dimethyl-succinate)(2)(H(2)O)(4)} centrosymmetric dimeric clusters. In turn, these clusters are linked by tethering 1,4-bis-(3-pyridylmeth-yl)piperazine (3-bpmp) ligands into [Cd(2)(2,2-dimethyl-succinate)(2)(3-bpmp)(H(2)O)(4)](n) coordina...

Pure and mixed cultures of Methylophaga sulfidovorans and Thiobacillus thioparus T5 were grown in continuous cultures on either dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfide and H(inf2)S, or H(inf2)S and methanol. In pure cultures, M. sulfidovorans showed a lower affinity for sulfide than T. thioparus T5. Mixed cultures, grown on dimethyl sulfide, showed coexistence of both species. M. sulfidovorans fully...

The title compound, (C(7)H(11)N(2))(3)[Nd(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(10)]Cl(5)·2H(2)O, consists of three 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium cations, one of which is disordered about an inversion center, one [Nd(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(10)](2+) dication possessing inversion symmetry, five chloride anions, one of which is disordered over two inversion centers, and two lattice water mol-ecules. The 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyrid...
