In the title compound, [Pd(C(7)H(7)O(3)S)(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(2)](n), the metal ion, located on a twofold rotation axis, exhibits a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, with bond angles that deviate by at most 2.2° from an ideal geometry, completed by two O atoms from two deprotonated p-toluene-sulfonic acid ligands and four N atoms from four 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands. ...

The title compound, C(15)H(17)ClNO(2)S(+)·C(10)H(15)O(4)S(-)·C(3)H(6)O, was synthesized by N-alkyl-ation of α-amino-(2-chloro-phen-yl)acetate with 2-thienylethyl p-toluene-sulfonate, followed by reaction with (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The thio-phene ring of the cation was found to be disordered over two sites, w...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were comparatively carried out to reveal the origins of different catalytic performances from phosphine–benzene sulfonate (A, [{P^O}PdMe(L)] (P^O = Κ2-P,O-Ar2PC6H4SO3 with Ar 2-MeOC6H4)) and α-diimine (B, [{N^N}PdMe(Cl)] (N^N (ArN=C(Me)-C(Me)=NAr) 2,6-iPr2C6H3)) palladium complexes toward copolymerization ethylene methyl vinyl sulfone (MVS). Having a...

The title compound, C13H10N2O7S, was synthesized via a nucleophilic substitution reaction between 2,4-di-nitro-phenol and p-toluene-sulfonyl chloride. This crystal structure is a polymorph of CSD entry WUVYUH [Vembu et al. (2003). Acta Cryst, E59, o378-380]. The aromatic substituents on the sulfonate group are oriented gauche to one another with a C-O-S-C torsion angle of -62.0 (3)°. The supra-...

The molecular characteristics of thiamin (T) transport were studied in the small intestinal and renal brush border membrane vesicles of rats, using [(3)H]T at high specific activity. The effects of various chemical modifiers (amino acid blockers) on T uptake were examined and their specificity assessed. Treatment with the carboxylic specific blockers 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl) carbodiim...

Sphingomyelin synthesis was studied in slices of rat heart by using [Me-14C]choline, [1,2-14C]ethanolamine, S-adenosyl-L-[14C]methionine and [32P]Pi as as precursors. In the presence of both [Me-14C]choline and [32P]Pi the ratio of the specific radioactivities of 14C and 32P in phosphatidylcholine was greater than in sphingomyelin at all the times studied. This suggested that synthesis of phosp...

Reduced graphene oxide-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):p-toluene sulfonate (rGO-PEDOT:PTS) hybrid electrode films were synthesized directly on a substrate by interfacial polymerization between an oxidizing solid layer and liquid droplets of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) produced by electrospraying. The EDOT reduced the graphene oxide by donating electrons during its transformation into PED...

Purified human reovirus contains RNA methylase activity in addition to an RNA polymerase. Virions incubated under appropriate conditions in the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthesize mRNA that is specifically methylated in the 5'-terminal guanosine. Alkaline digestion of the methylated RNA released a 5'-terminal dinucleotide, ppG'pCp, indicating that the guanosine contains 2'-O-methylri...

The infusion of sodium nitroprusside during surgical operations produced plasma levels of cyanide of up to four times the control value. Plasma thiocyanate showed little change except during prolonged infusion of the drug, but total plasma B(12) tended to fall, as did methylcobalamin. Other cobalamins showed little change after nitroprusside infusion for short periods. During longer infusions t...

Rat brain SAM levels were markedly increased after methionine administration, whereas the convulsant, L-methionine-dl-sulphoximine (MSO), produced a 35 per cent decrease in whole brain content of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). When methionine was given in combination with MSO, SAM levels were not decreased. Studies on the regional distribution of SAM revealed only a small variation between regi...
