The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(31)H(29)N(3), contains a hexyl chain, a coordination unit (benzimidazole) and a functional group (carbazole). The benzimidazole ring is not coplanar with either the phenyl ring or the carbazole system, making dihedral angles of 43.26 (3) and 39.03 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the carbazole system is 24.42 (3)°. The hex...

Protein aggregation and precipitation is associated with many debilitating diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and light-chain amyloidosis. β-Casein, a member of the casein family, has been demonstrated to exhibit chaperone-like activity to protect protein form aggregation. Hofmeister salts (lyotropice series) are a class of ions which have an effect on the solubility and also the stab...

A microwave hydrothermal method is developed for the synthesis of iron oxides, α-Fe2O3, β-FeOOH, and the junction of α-Fe2O3-β-FeOOH. This method is absolutely organic-free, and various structures could be obtained simply by changing the use of the iron source and NaOH. The as-prepared sea urchin-like β-FeOOH exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in...

We present a finite difference/spectral method for the two-dimensional generalized time fractional cable equation by combining second-order backward difference in and Galerkin spectral space with Legendre polynomials. Through detailed analysis, we demonstrate that scheme is unconditionally stable. The proved to have min{2−α,2−β}-order convergence accuracy smooth solutions, where α,β are two exp...

A group is called morphic if for each normal endomorphism α in end(G),there exists β such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα= ker(β). In this paper, we consider the case that there exist normal endomorphisms β and γ such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα = ker(γ). We call G quasi-morphic, if this happens for any normal endomorphism α in end(G). We get the following results: G is quasi-morphic if and only if, for any ...

As shown especially for the transformation of the thermally rather unstable α-D-galactofuranosylnitromethane to α-D-galactofuranosylmethylamine, the electron-transfer reduction of glycosylnitromethanes with ferrous ions in aqueous ammonia at room temperature is a very mild and convenient alternative of the preparation of the corresponding glycosylmethylamines. Also βL-rhamnopyranosylmethylamine...

Graf, the GTPase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase was previously shown to have GAP activity for &Rgr; A and Cdc42 in vitro (Hildebrand et al 1996 Mol. Cell Biol. 16: 3169-3178). In this study we sought to determine whether Graf acted at the level of Cdc42, Rho, or both in vivo and whether Graf was a signal terminator or transducer for these proteins. Microinjection of Graf cDNA i...
