Direct incorporation of azide groups into RNA oligonucleotides by in vitro transcription reactions in the presence of a new azide-modified UTP analogue, and subsequent posttranscriptional chemical labeling of azide-modified oligoribonucleotide transcripts by click and Staudinger reactions are described. This postsynthetic labeling protocol is robust and modular, and offers an alternative access...

Unidirectional Na fluxes from frog's striated muscle were measured in the presence of 0 to 5 mM sodium azide. With azide concentrations of 2 and 5 mM the Na efflux was markedly stimulated; the Na efflux with 5 mM azide was about 300 per cent greater than normal. A similar increase was present when all but the 5.0 mM sodium added with azide was replaced by choline. 10(-5)M strophanthidin abolish...

Sodium azide activated soluble rat liver guanylate cyclase but not crude preparations from rat heart or bovine lung. Mixing supernatant fractions from liver preparations with those from heart or lung resulted in an inhibition of sodium azide activation. The inhibitory activity was nondialyzable, heat-labile, and resistant to trypsin treatment. Chromatography of heart or lung supernatant prepara...

An intramolecular Huisgen cycloaddition of an interconverting set of isomeric allylic azides with alkynes affords substituted triazoles in high yield. The stereoisomeric vinyl-substituted triazoloxazines formed depend on the rate of cycloaddition of the different allylic azide precursors when the reaction is carried out under thermal conditions. In contrast, dimerized macrocyclic products were ...

A variety of internally N-alkylated N-confused porphyrins were prepared in a stepwise manner through the protection of the reactive peripheral nitrogen atom. NH-Tautomerism in N-confused porphyrins was found to be regulated by N-alkylation, which enabled us to obtain discrete information on two important NH-tautomers of an N-confused porphyrin.

UV light and surface defects accelerate the degradation process of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In their Communication on page 8673, Mingzhu Li, Yanlin Song, co-workers utilize tautomerism “sunscreen” molecules under illumination to protect PSC from enable molecular defect passivation, achieving high efficiency long-term stability PSCs.

Ultra-trace analysis of azide in complicated Irbesartan sample matrix is achieved by the in-line sample preparation technique. Sodium azide is the precursor of Irbesartan, which is used as an anti-hypertensive drug. Due to the toxic nature of sodium azide, reliable determination of azide in Irbesartan is necessary. Irbesartan when analyzed for sodium azide, as per the USP 31-NF26 method, gets a...

The combination of highly efficient polymerizations with modular "click" coupling reactions has enabled the synthesis of a wide variety of novel nanoscopic structures. Here we demonstrate the facile synthesis of a new class of clickable, branched nanostructures, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-branch-azide bivalent-brush polymers, facilitated by "graft-through" ring-opening metathesis polymerization ...

A two-step chlorination/azidation process was reported to prepare azide-modified silicon(111) surfaces. XPS and IR analyses show the covalent bonding of azide with silicon. In combination with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy analyses, different kinetic rates, azide coverages, and surface-area distributions were derived depending on the azidation solvent.
