A donor-acceptor covalent organic framework (COF), TB-COF, constructed from an electron-rich building unit (donor) and electron-deficient (acceptor), was developed as a promising photothermal agent for therapy (PTT). Upon laser irradiation, significant photoinduced electron transfer (PET) occurs between the donor acceptor in converting absorbed optical energy to thermal resulting ablation of tu...

This study focuses on RR, SS and RS medetomidine (MM) and inclusion of several achiral acids to distinguish which acid can help conglomerate formation instead of crystallizating racemic mixtures by defining the low-lying energy of their structures. Favorable orientation of acids was determined in interaction with the MM enantiomers after optimization. The most noticeable interactions include hy...

A resplendent trio: Protic ionic liquids (PILs) with nucleophilic anions served in concert as regenerable reaction medium, Brønsted acid, and a source of nucleophile. Heating donor–acceptor cyclopropanes 1-methylimidazolium thiocyanate (B:⋅HNCS) afforded products formal (3+2)- (4+2)-cycloaddition isothiocyanic acid.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the transfer of sialic acid from a range of sialic acid donor compounds to acceptor molecules, catalyzed by Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase (TcTS). We demonstrate here that NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool to monitor the trans-sialidase enzyme reaction for a variety of donor and acceptor molecules. The hydrolysis or tran...

According to present understanding of the biosynthesis of proteins, the first steps involve activation of the ammo acids (Equation 1) followed by the transfer of the amino acids to specific amino acid-acceptor ribonucleic acids (RNA’s) (Equation 2) (for a recent review see (1)). It is believed that the amino acid-acceptor RNA’s subsequently take part, with the “template” RNA, in determining the...

Three types of evidence are presented to show that the enzymes that hydroxylate nicotinic acid to 2,6-dihydroxynicotinic acid use water as a source of oxygen atoms. (18)O is incorporated into the products from H(2) (18)O. Molecular oxygen acts as a terminal electron acceptor, one-half molecule being consumed per molecule of hydroxyl groups incorporated. An external electron acceptor is required...

two organic compounds (sc-23=(e)-2-cyano-3-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl) acrylic acid and sc-25=(e)-2-cyano-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl) acrylic acid) involving methoxy groups as the electron donor and cyanoacrylic acid group as the electron acceptor have been investigated for dye sensitized solar cells. they shows a short-circuit current density (jsc) of 2.08 and 1.81 ma cm-2, an open circuit voltage (voc)...

BACKGROUND Geobacter sulfurreducens is capable of coupling the complete oxidation of organic compounds to iron reduction. The metabolic response of G. sulfurreducens towards variations in electron donors (acetate, hydrogen) and acceptors (Fe(III), fumarate) was investigated via (13)C-based metabolic flux analysis. We examined the (13)C-labeling patterns of proteinogenic amino acids obtained fro...
