The effects of thiol-specific reagents on the amplitude of the electro-olfactogram (E.O.G.) responses elicited from frog olfactory mucosa by pulses of odorant vapours was studied. The impermeant thiol-specific reagent mersalyl [(3-{[2-(carboxymethoxy)-benzoyl]amino}-2-methoxypropyl)hydroxymercury monosodium salt] brings about a rapid decrease in the E.O.G. signal obtained with the odorant penty...

densities and excess molar volume of the binary and ternary mixtures formed by nbutylacetate+ 1-butanol + 1,2-butanediol were measured at (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) k forthe liquid region and at ambient pressure (81.5) k pa , for the whole composition range. theexcess molar volumes,vme and excess partial molar volume vie ,were calculated fromexperimental densities.the excess molar volumes are...

In the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(15)NO(5), the nitro-phen-oxy portion is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.034 Å) and makes an angle of 84.8 (1)° with respect to the -CH(2)-C(=O)-O-C fragment. In the crystal, π-π stacking is observed between nearly parallel benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules, the centroid-centroid distance being 3.6806 (10) Å. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bondin...

       Volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocy...

Reduced downstream costs, together with high purity recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), will accelerate the commercialization of high quality PHA-based products. In this work, a process was designed for effective recovery of the copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (P(HB-co-HHx)) containing high levels of HHx (>15 mol%) from Ralstonia eutropha biomass using non-halogenated so...

1-Bromopinacolone, BrPin, acts initially as a reversible competitive inhibitor for acetylcholinesterase, KI = 0.18 mM in hydrolysis of acetylcholine. Unlike bromoacetone, with time it acts as an irreversible covalent inhibitor. BrPin has a hydrolytic half-life of 30 h at the pH of incubation, 7.8. The enzyme-BrPin complex is 50% inactivated in 2 h. First order kinetics are observed; the rate co...

A gas sensor was developed by using the chemiluminescence (CL) emission from the oxidation of ethyl ether by oxygen in the air on the surface of borate glass. Theoretical calculation, together with experimental investigation, revealed the main CL reactions: ethyl ether is first oxidized to acetaldehyde and then to acetic acid, during which main luminous intermediates such as CH 3CO (*) are gene...
