The pentasaccharide fragment α-d-Man-(1 → 5)-[α-d-Kdo-(2 → 4)-]α-d-Kdo-(2 → 6)-β-d-GlcNAc-(1 → 6)-α-d-GlcNAc equipped with a 3-aminopropyl spacer moiety was prepared by a sequential assembly of monosaccharide building blocks. The glucosamine disaccharide-as a backbone surrogate of the bacterial lipid A region-was synthesized using an 1,3-oxazoline donor, which was followed by coupling with an i...

Amino acid interlinked pyrene and naphthalenediimide (NDI) based novel donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) triads are designed to exploit their topological symmetry and complementary π-character for facile charge-transfer complexation. Consequently, free-floating high-aspect-ratio supercoiled nanofibres and hierarchical helical bundles of triads are realized by modulating the chemical functionality of...

para -Azaquinodimethane ( p -AQM) based quinoidal–donor (Q–D) polymers have been synthesized following a strategy for enhancing the backbone planarity and control bond length alternation (BLA).

Background: Rh D antigen is the next most important after ABO antigens in the field of transfusion medicine. Weak D refers to reduced expression of D antigen on the red blood cell that requires an extended testing with indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) to get detected. Clinical importance of weak D arises when labelling the donor and patient, as the donor is labelled as D positive, patient as D ...

To investigate the mechanisms of human T-cell reconstitution following allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), we analyzed the clonal composition of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-specific or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific CD8+ T cells in 10 alloSC transplant recipients and their donors. All virus-specific CD8+ T-cell clones isolated from recipients after alloSCT contained ...

This paper mainly discusses the structure-property relationship of two donor-acceptor-donor (D–?–A–?–D) type dopant-free hole transporting materials (HTMs) (TPA-TPy and TPA-Py-PTZ) comprising primarily 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine as acceptor core 4,4?-dimethoxytriphenylamine peripheral donor groups their use in p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). Compared to inferior TPA-Py-PTZ, TPA-TPy has...

BACKGROUND Organic fluorophore contains well-defined D-π-A (Donor-π system-Acceptor) push-pull system have wide application in the field of NLO, OLED and high tech application. Electron donor diphenyl, triphenyl and carbazole conjugated with electron acceptor terminal through π-system were reported recently for high-tech applications. N,N-Dialkyl substituted 1,3,5-triazine also acts as donor ke...

AIM To compare laparoscopic and open living donor nephrectomy, based on the results from a single center during a decade. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all living donor nephrectomies performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, between 1/1998 - 12/2009. Overall there were 490 living donors, with 279 undergoing laparoscopic living donor nephrecto...

The quinoid-donor-acceptor (Q-D-A) strategy has recently emerged as a promising approach for constructing high mobility semiconducting polymers. In order to fully explore the potential of this in improving charge transport and elucidating structure-property-performance relationships Q-D-A polymers, series new polymers with different electron acceptor units backbone coplanarity have been synthes...

Organic donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) polymers or small molecules are widely investigated in organic solar cells due to their broad light absorption, narrow band gap, excellent charge mobility, and exciton seperation at the interface. However, studies of conjugated with D–A–D molecule structures as photocatalytically active materials still rare. In this study, an unprecedented demonstration that...
