The Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis technique has been adapted to the synthesis of homo- and heterometallic metal−organic complex arrays (MOCAs). A terpyridine-appended and Fmoc-protected L-tyrosine derivative was metalated with Pt(II), Rh(III), or Ru(II) ions in solution and sequentially coupled at the surface of functionalized polymeric resin to give a metal complex triad (Rh−Pt−Ru),...

The Hosoya index Z(G) of a graph G is defined as the total number of edge independent sets of G. In this paper, we extend the research of [J. Ou, On extremal unicyclic molecular graphs with maximal Hosoya index, Discrete Appl. Math. 157 (2009) 391–397.] and [Y. Ye, X. Pan, H. Liu, Ordering unicyclic graphs with respect to Hosoya indices and Merrifield-Simmons indices, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput...

Introduction It is the highpoint of my career to receive this award, named in honor of my Ph.D. mentor, Bruce Merrifield. There is little that I can add to what we all know regarding the impact that Bruce has had on peptide research. Certainly, he has had a more significant impact on my scientific development than any other individual. I do need, however, to acknowledge from the start that I ha...

  Objective: Since orthodontic and orthognathic treatment planningin each ethnic group must be done according to the soft tissue facial characteristicsregarded as beauty,they thus vary from country to country.The main purpose of this articlewas to determine the mean range of the middle third of soft tissue facial profile and anteroposterior lip positioningusing 3angular and 2 linear measurement...

Synthesis of NS1 and NS2 peptide fragment hepatitis C virus polyprotein was carried out on a terpolymer- polystyrene, N-vinylpyrrolidone, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate resin (PS-NVP-HDDA). The radical aqueous suspension polymerisation resulted in the resin, that exhibited high swelling capacity various solvents. peptides were synthesized step-wise by Fmoc strategy, established with amino acid analy...
