The aim of this study was to synthesis the conjugated chitosan by covalent attachment of thiol moieties to the cationic polymer, mediated by a carbodiimide to improve permeation properties of chitosan. Thioglycolic acid was covalently attached to chitosan by the formation of amide bonds between the primary amino groups of the polymer and the carboxylic acid groups of thioglycolic acid. Hence, t...

The interaction of thioglycolic acid (HSCH(2)COOH) with the Au(111) surface is investigated, and it is found that at the low coverage the molecule lies down on the substrate. If the mercaptan-hydrogen atom is eliminated, the resulting SCH(2)COOH molecule is randomly oriented on the surface. If the carboxylic acid group in the HSCH(2)COOH molecule is deprotonated instead, the HSCH(2)COO(-) molec...

For research and development of plants suitable for forage and biofuel production, the development of a highthroughput system of lignin determination, especially for herbaceous species, is important. However, currently available methods for lignin determination are not suitable for high-throughput analysis of herbaceous samples. In this paper, we describe a straightforward, high-throughput meth...

N-Hydroxysuccinimide esters of long-chain fatty acids have been used to synthesize the CoA and thioglycolic acid thiol esters of palmitic and 3-ketopalmitic acids in high yield and with a minimum of untoward side reactions.

In 1946 Hale (1) described a histochemical method for the detection of acid polysaccharides in animal tissues, based on the ability of these compounds to bind ferric ions, which were subsequently detected as Prussian blue. It has been possible to adapt this histochemical method to the quantitative determination of acid mucopolysaccharides on a macro or micro scale. The major modification of the...

Methods of synthesis carbaminyl thioglycolic acid anilides have been studied. All the synthesized compounds were tested for pesticide activity, and substances with defoliating herbicidal activity identified among them. Compositions magnesium chlorate developed on their basis to improve its activity. A comparative assessment was made; in result, active properties found, environmental impact (eco...

In this work, we report, optical properties of Cd1-xSnxTe quantum dots (x= 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) synthesized in water using thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a modifier agent. The optical characterization of the samples was performed through absorption (UV) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). A red shift absorption and fluorescent emission peaks was observed which can be related t...
