Taurine and 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid were synthesized by the method of the main paper [Geoghegan & Dixon (1989) Biochem. J. 260, 295-296], i.e. by treating the corresponding halo compound with 2-aminoethanol and then with periodate.

The biochemical composition of Sphaerospora dicentrarchi was studied. Periodate and Proteinase K treatments as well as lectin blots were used to analyse carbohydrate terminals. Zymography was applied to detect proteases. Four polyclonal antisera, raised against S. dicentrarchi (RaSdic), S. testicularis (RaStest), Ceratomyxa labracis (RaClab) and C. sparusaurati (RaCspr), were used in SDS polyac...

Methods for the detection and quantitative determination of ethanolamine in animal tissues and fluids have, with few exceptions, been focused upon phospholipide hydrolysates. They include the gold salt method of Trier (l), the CaO-ether extraction method of Thierfelder and Schulze (Z), isolation as the diiodosalicylate (Stetten (3)), and the periodate oxidation method employed by Artom (4). In ...

the epoxidation of olefins with tetra n-butylammonium periodate, n-bu4/nio4, is catalyzed by six different tetrakis (4-substituted phenyl) porphyrinatomanganese(iii) acetate, mn(t4-xpp)oac, complexes in the presence of imidazole as an axial ligand with low to high yields and complete selectivity at room temperature. while the electronic effects of the highly electron-withdrawing no2 substituent...

Tungsten trioxide nanorods have been generated by the thermal decomposition (450 C) of tetrabutylammonium decatungstate. The synthesized tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanorods have been characterized by XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, HRTEM and cyclic voltammetry. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the synthesized WO3 nanorods are crystalline in nature w...

Various 4-aryl-3-bromocoumarins were smoothly obtained in moderate yields in one pot by treating 3-aryl-2-propynoic acids with diaryliodonium triflates and K2CO3 in the presence of CuCl, followed by the reaction with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and Na2S2O8. The obtained 3-bromo-4-phenylcoumarin was transformed into 4-phenylcoumarin derivatives bearing C-H, C-S, C-N, and C-C bonds at 3-pos...

A rapid, specific, and reproducible high-pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of cefoperazone concentration in serum and tissue. The assay uses a simple methanol extraction, with cefoxitin as the internal standard. The limits of detection are 1 to 150 micrograms/ml; the maximum coefficient of variation is 7.4%. Using the same chromatography column, muBondap...

A series of glycoconjugates, derivatives of genistein containing a C-glycosylated carbohydrate moiety, were synthesized and their anticancer activity was tested in vitro in the human cell lines HCT 116 and DU 145. The target compounds 15-17 were synthesized by treating ω-bromoalkyl C-glycosides derived from L-rhamnal (1) with a tetrabutylammonium salt of genistein. The new, metabolically stable...
