Abstract manganese lipoxygenase (Mn-LO) oxygenates 18:3n-3 and 18:2n-6 to bis-allylic 11S-hydroperoxy fatty acids, which are converted to 13R-hydroperoxy fatty acids. Other unsaturated C(16)-C(22) fatty acids, except 17:3n-3, are poor substrates, possibly because of ineffective enzyme activation (Mn(II)-->Mn(III)) by the produced hydroperoxides. Our aim was to determine whether unsaturated C(16...

In the title compound, [Mn(C(14)H(8)O(6)S)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the Mn(II) ion is coordinated by four O atoms from three 4,4'-sulfonyl-dibenzoate (sdba) ligands and two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) ligand in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The manganese atoms are alternately bridged either by two sdba ligands, with an Mn⋯Mn separation of 12.284 (1) Å, or by two carboxyl-ate gro...

This paper presents aspects of the coordination chemistry of mono- and divalent manganese complexes supported by the anionic tris(phosphino)borate ligand, [PhBP(i)(Pr)3] (where [PhBP(i)(Pr)3] = [PhB(CH(2)P(i)Pr2)3]-). The Mn(II) halide complexes, [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]MnCl (1) and [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]MnI (2), have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, and EPR spectroscopy. Compound 2 s...

Zinc 2-methylimidazolate (Zn(Me-Im)2, ZIF-8) was synthesized through solvothermal method, and the Mn@ZIF-8 by loading Mn species onto prepared ZIF-8 impregnation. The effect of addition amount for activity in selective catalytic reduction NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR), stability catalysts at ideal temperature conditions resistance to H2O SO2 were investigated. Moreover, characterizations including XRD...

The reactions of the Mn(III)(3) and Mn(II)Mn(III)(2) complexes [Mn(3)O(O(2)CEt)(6)(py)(3)][ClO(4)] and [Mn(3)O(O(2)CEt)(6)(py)(3)] with pyridine-2,6-dimethanol (pdmH(2)) afford the mixed-valence Mn(II)(6)Mn(III)(2) octanuclear complex [Mn(8)O(2)(py)(4)(O(2)CEt)(8)(L)(2)][ClO(4)](2) (1) and the Mn(II)(7)Mn(III)(2) enneanuclear complex [Mn(9)(O(2)CEt)(12)(pdm)(pdmH)(2)(L)(2)] (2), respectively. B...

The mononuclear Mn(CO)(5)X and binuclear Mn(2)(CO)(8)(μ-X)(2) manganese carbonyl halides have long been known for the halogens Cl, Br, and I. However, the corresponding manganese carbonyl fluorides (X = F) remain unknown. The structures and thermochemistry of such manganese carbonyl fluorides and their decarbonylation products have now been investigated using density functional theory. In all c...

It is well-known that policosanol can improve serum lipid profiles, although the physiological mechanism is still unknown. Here, we investigated functional and structural changes in lipoproteins after consumption of policosanol. To investigate the physiological effect of policosanol, we analyzed serum parameters in young non-smoker (YN; n=7, 24.0±2.4 years), young smoker (YS; n=7, 26.3±1.5 year...

This study investigates the best available methods for remote monitoring inland small-scale waterbodies, using sensing data from both Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellites, utilizing a handheld hyperspectral device ground truthing. Monitoring was conducted to evaluate water quality indicators: chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), turbidity. Ground truthing performed sel...

background: the purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. materials and methods: human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (let: 34.6 kev μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (cb) micronucleus (mn) assay. to determine the efficie...
