A novel 2D coordination polymer, [Mn(pyphen)(L)] (1) (L = 3-carboxy-1-(4′-(2′′carboxy)biphenylmethyl)-2-oxidopyridinium and pyphen = pyrazino[2,3f ][1,10]phenanthroline), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV/Vis spectra and its optical band gap. Crystal data for 1: C34H21MnN5O5, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 12.484(4), b = 13.4...

Previous studies have shown that the noncatalytic carboxy-terminal tail of the p70 S6 kinase (amino acids 422 to 525) contains an autoinhibitory pseudosubstrate domain that is phosphorylated in situ during activation and in vitro by mitogen-activated protein kinases. The present study shows that a recombinant p70 deleted of the carboxy-terminal tail (p70 delta CT104) nevertheless exhibits a bas...
