Several new pyrazolo[4,3-b] pyridines 7a, b were prepared by reacting arylidenemalononitriles 1a, c or 1i, j with 4-nitrosoantipyrine 4. Reacting 1a, b, d with 4-azidomethylcarbonylantipyrine 8 give 2-aminopyrrole 14. Pyrano[3,2-c] quinolines 20a, b and 23 were obtained by reacting 4-hydroxyquinoline 15 with 1g, h, 2b respectively. Reaction of 1 with naphthalenediols 24, 27 and 29 yield naphtho...

In bacteria, protein expression initiates with an N-formyl group and this needs to be removed in order to ensure proper bacterial growth. These formylation and deformylation processes are unique to eubacteria; therefore, inhibition of these would provide a novel antibacterial therapy. Deformylation is carried out by peptide deformylase (PDF). PDF from Bacillus cereus, one of the major pathogeni...

The yield of levan extracted from microbial fermentation broth is low, so in vitro catalytic synthesis by levansucrase expected to be one the industrial production approaches levan. recombinant plasmid pET-28a-AcmA-Z constructed a previous study was used produce levansucrase. effects temperature, pH, and metal ions on formation activity were investigated. polymer analyzed means HPIC, FTIR, NMR ...

there are many studies related to the production of a elisa kit for diagnosing virus infections. however, production of most kits depends on purification of whole virus particles, which involves the use of costly equipment and reagents. the purpose of this study was to check out if the anti-cp42 antibodies could be used as a diagnostic assay for detection of grapevine fanleaf virus (gflv). in t...

The relationship between the structure and cytotoxic activity of azulenequinones and trihaloacetylazulenes was investigated based on theoretical calculations. Four different dipole moments (mu(G), mu(ESP-G), mu(W) and mu(ESP-W)) and heats of formation (DeltaH(f)) of the azulenequinones [1-27] and trihaloacetylazulenes [28a,b-40a,b] were separately calculated in gas phase and aqueous solution us...
