Conjugate addition of Me3SiMe2SiLi to cycloalk-2-en-1-ones, ketalization, Tamao-Fleming oxidation (Bu4NF, then H2O2, KHCO3), TPAP oxidation and acid hydrolysis generates 2-methyl cycloalkane-1,3-diones. Ketalization is needed in order to prevent addition of Me3Si- to the carbonyl. The...

Differentiation of self from nonself is indispensable for maintaining B cell tolerance in peripheral tissues. CD22 and Siglec-G (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin G) are two inhibitory coreceptors of the BCR that are implicated in maintenance of tolerance to self Ags. Enforced ligation of CD22...

Lead-free halide double perovskites with a generic formula of A2B′(III)B″(I)X6 (A and B are cations and X is a halide anion) are being explored as a less toxic, higher thermal- and moisture-stable alternative to well-studied lead halide perovskite (APbX3) solar energy absorbers. However, the...

An enantioselective de novo synthesis of a thioglycoside derivative of the 6-O-methyl-D-glycero- L-gluco-heptopyranose residue found in the Campylobacter jejuni NCTC11168 (HS:2) capsular polysaccharide is reported. The compound is obtained from a furfural-derived chiral diol in 11 steps. Notably,...

Klassen, John S., Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N.

This study reports on the use of the catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS) assay, combined with glycomicelles, as a method for detecting specific interactions between water-soluble proteins and glycolipids (GLs) in aqueous solution. The B subunit homopentamers...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-based etalons have been shown to have visible color and unique spectral properties, which both depend on solution temperature and pH. In this investigation, pNIPAm-co-AAc microgel-based etalons were fabricated on the Au...

El-Yazbi, Amira F., Loppnow, Glen R.

Nucleic acids (NAs) play a vital role in numerous biological processes. Absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light by NAs can result in DNA damage at the molecular level, leading to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and cell death. Thus, much effort has been focused on developing methods for detecting...

A GC-vacuum ultraviolet (UV) method to perform group-type separations of diesel range fuels was developed. The method relies on an ionic liquid column to separate diesel samples into saturates, mono-, di-, and polyaromatics by gas chromatography, with selective detection via vacuum UV absorption...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the organism that causes tuberculosis (TB), has a carbohydrate-rich cell wall structure that possesses a number of immunogenic antigens. Circulating antibodies that recognize these glycans are present in patients infected by mycobacteria; detection of these antibodies...
