The purpose of the present investigation was to ascertain whether (3)IL excited states with microsecond lifetimes are universally potent for photodynamic applications, and if these long-lived states are superior to their (3)MLCT counterparts as in vitro PDT agents. A family of blue-green absorbing, Ru(II)-based transition metal complexes derived from the π-expansive dppn ligand was prepared and...

Reactions of the copper complexes Cu(II)Cl2, [Cu(II)(EDTA)]2-, [Cu(II)2(DIPS)4] and [Cu(I)(DMP)2]+ (where DIPS is 3,5-diisopropylsalicylate and DMP is 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline) with human blood plasma and urine have been studied by 500 MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy, and CD spectroscopy has been used to monitor the transfer of Cu(II) onto albumin in plasma. The rate of transfer of Cu(II) from [Cu(II...

several nonpeptide small molecules were designed as potential inhibitors of hiv protease and their structures were constructed by computer-aided molecular modeling and docked iwo the active site of hiv protease. models of the complexes of inhibitors and the hiv protease were refined using nonbonded and h-bonding terms. the refined energy of selected complexes showed that the designed inhibitors...

kuh-e-faryadoon and kouli kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan zone around deh-bid area. plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. a mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...

Background: Dystocia is the most common indication of primary cesarean section. The most common cause of dystocia is uterine dysfunction. In prolonged labor, more attention is usually paid to the fetus and pelvis rather than to the role of uterine contractions in a delivery. Therefore, we decided to determine the relationship between the labor progress and uterine contractions shapes.Methods: I...

during the islamic period of iran except for public complexes including buildings as bazaar, reservoir, caravansary, etc. there were burial complexes that occupy a special place in the architecture of the epoch. these complexes were first built as the burial ground of a famous political or religious figure and along the time other buildings such as mosque, madreseh (school), monastery, caravans...
