derivatives of phenyl-keto butenoic acids have been reported to be inhibitors of pyruvate decarboxylase, (pdc). the inhibition of transketolase, a thiamine requiring enzyme such as pdf, by meta nitrophenyl derivative of 2-oxo-3-butenoic acid (mnpb) is reported here. these studies indicate that the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at the active site. a two-step inhibition was observed, first the in...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is used as a noninvasive tool to modulate brain excitability in humans. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that tDCS applied over the motor cortex also modulates spinal neural network excitability and therefore can be used to explore the corticospinal control acting on spinal neurons. Previously, we showed that reciprocal inhibition direct...

in this investigation, attempts were directed to study the inhibitive effects of nitrite and phosphate base inhibitors for the carbon steel alloy samples, which are used in an acid gas treatment process (the sulfiran® solution), in fe-edta solution. electrochemical techniques, i.e. polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), were used to evaluate the inhibition efficie...
