The article examines whether -and, if so, how -Czech and Upper Sorbian calque the expression of grammatical relations between sentence constituents on the expression of the same or similar grammatical relations in German. ...

A new series of molecular dyads and pentad featuring free-base porphyrin and ruthenium phthalocyanine have been synthesized and characterized. The synthetic strategy involved reacting free-base porphyrin functionalized ...

Drug-carrying magnetic nanocomposite spheres were synthesized using Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles and poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) for the purpose of magnetic targeted drug delivery. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) ...

Superoxide dismutases are ubiquitous enzymes that efficiently catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide radical anions to protect biological molecules from oxidative damage. Several SODs have been identified having ...

Small molecules that can selectively recognize phospholipids would likely be useful as tools for chemical biology and may have application as pharmaceuticals. Inspired by the phospholipid binding of antimicrobial peptids ...

The synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropic hormones involves coordination of signal transduction, gene expression, protein translation, post-translational folding and modification and finally secretion. The production ...

The isocyanide ligand forms complexes with ruthenium(II) bis-bipyridine of the type [Ru(bpy)(2)(CNx)Cl](CF(3)SO(3)) (1), [Ru(bpy)(2)(CNx)(py)](PF(6))(2) (2), and [Ru(bpy)(2)(CNx)(2)](PF(6))(2) (3) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, ...

A general strategy for the preparation of the family of exo-[n.m.n.m]metacyclophanes (n,m > or = 3) in 6-steps (starting from 2-bromoanisole) that utilizes a [2 + 2] approach to furnish the exo-metacyclophane ring in good ...

Over the past decade, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has begun to gain worldwide attention either as a primary or as an alternate treatment for solid cancers.1The success of the treatment largely depends upon the tumor-selectivity ...

A receptor able to selectively bind a phosphatidylglycerol head group of a bacterial membrane phospholipid, PPG is an attractive synthetic target as a modular component of an antimicrobial therapeutic. The major challenge ...
