chiral molecules is very important and for this reason we study asymmetric synthesis. One method in which a chiral epoxide can be synthesized is through the use of a Jacobsen-type catalyst. In order to synthesize Jacobsen’s catalyst‚ Jacobsen’s ligand must be created first which requires the use of 3‚5-di-tert-butyl-salicylaldehyde . There are many methods by which this salicylaldehyde can be synthesized but one method with a relatively high yield starts with 2‚4-di-tert-butylphenol. The reaction

A + B AB A + B • A molecule that binds is called a ligand (typically a small molecule) • A region in the protein where the ligand binds is called the binding site • Ligand binds via non-covalent forces‚ which enables the interactions to be transient 1 Specificity: Lock-and-Key Model • Proteins typically have high specificity: only certain ligands bind • High specificity can be explained by the complementarity of the binding site and the ligand. • Complementarity in –size‚ –shape‚ –charge‚ –or

Synthesis‚ Spectral‚ and Antibacterial Studies of Silver Nanoparticles and Silver(I) Complex of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole Abstract : Microbes‚ such as bacteria‚ molds‚ yeasts‚ and viruses‚ in living environment are often pathogenic and cause severe infections in human beings. Therefore‚ there is a pressing need to search for new antimicrobial agents from natural and inorganic substances [1]. Antimicrobial nanoparticles mainly consist of metals‚ metal oxides‚ and many biologically derived materials

2.1 Synthesis of p-Toulichydrazone and Resacetophenone Schiff base (RAPPTH): p-Toluic hydrazide (1.5018g) and Resacetophenone (2‚4Dihydroxyacetophenone)(1.5215g) were dissolved in methanol and Refluxed in the presence of few drops of acetic acid for 7 hours on water bath with constant stirring. The resultant mixture was transferred in a china dish and allowed to cool naturally. Light brown crystals were obtained. The compound was recrystalized from water. The % of yield was 80%

We additionally report results on the experimentally observed competing dihydroxylation reaction and the ligand-induced reaction rate acceleration. Introduction Sharpless et al. reported in the 1970s an aza-analogon of the osmium-catalyzed cis-vicinal dihydroxylation (DH)1 of alkenes‚ the aminohydroxylation (AH).2‚3 In 1996 it was rendered asymmetric4

necessary for proper synaptic signal transmission and visual function. α-dystroglycan was shown to interact with pikachurin through immunoprecipitation. Pikachurin-dystroglycan interaction Dystroglycan ligand with other proteins is essential. Glycosylation of dystroglycan is necessary for its ligand binding activity. Mutations in glycosyltransferase enzymes cause abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan.
