Macrocyclic complexes of Mn, Co and Cu via Schiff base reactions. These 12membered tetradentate N6-macrocyclic complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and the spectral studies like IR spectra, Electronic spectra and NMR spectra.Thus, themacrocyclic ligand coordinates through imine and secondary amine nitrogens of the macrocyclicring....

Fertilization in mammals is a unique cell-cell recognition event that involves specific receptors on the surface of each gamete. Previous work has shown that proacrosin, a protein found within the acrosome of mammalian spermatozoa, binds non-enzymatically to zona pellucida glycoproteins (ZPGPs) that surround the egg and that this binding can be inhibited by sulphated polysaccharides such as fuc...
