Formaldehyde as a model protein crosslinking reagent. Understanding protein-protein interactions is becoming a vital study for application in the development of new age pharmaceuticals and utilization in diagnostic models. The overall aim is to gain an insight into the function and role of individual proteins with specific interest on how they react in cells‚ (Toews et al. 2008). The biopharma industry in Ireland is becoming a booming success for the economy therefore a complete understanding of

The purpose of this experiment was to perform a wittig reaction‚ the horner-emmons wittig specifically‚ reacting an aldehyde with an ylide to make an alkene. This particular variation of the wittig reaction has several advantages: It gives only the trans product; it uses a much milder base that is easier to handle; and it gives a water soluble byproduct which is easy to separate from the product. The reason that these advantages occur is a change in the structure of the ylide. Instead of a tripheylphosphine

Attention should be paid to possible cross-reactivity of certain drug groups. Data have been reported regarding genetic predisposition to drug hypersensitivity reactions‚ which are strongly associated with the major histocompatibility complex.

making it more nucleophilic. As explained both NaBH4 and LiAlH4 perform the same task‚ but because of LiAlH4’s higher reactivity they are used in different situations. NaBH4 can be used in alcoholic solvent while LiAlH4 can’t be because it will deprotonate and produce H2. Also‚ LiAlH4 can reduce ketones‚ aldehydes‚ carboxylic acids as well as esters. In contrast‚ NaBH4’s lower reactivity causes it only effective at reducing ketones‚ and aldehydes. In this lab NaBH4 will be used‚ an example of such a

The features of anti-social behaviour include ‘hyperactivity-inattention‚ novelty- or sensation-seeking‚ impulsivity‚ low physiological reactivity‚ and cognitive impairment‚’ (Locke) and Locke supports his argument that Nature is the cause for this through such theories as Piaget’s social cognitive development theory stating that encouragement from parents can develop a child’s attitude towards

13. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IV) ALKYNES SYNOPSIS Alkynes are commonly known as acetylenes. Acetylene is the simplest and important member of the alkyne series. • Alkynes contain – C ≡ C – • General molecular formula of alkynes is CnH2n–2 • Triple bonded carbons are ‘sp’ hybridized and greater s – character is associated with it. • Alkynes will exhibit chain‚ position and functional isomerism. • Their functional isomers are alkadienes and cyclo alkenes. • The minimum number of carbons required to exhibit

The early twentieth century led to the discovery of penicillin‚ which revolutionized the use of curative agents to combat many bacterial contagions found around the globe. This was particularly useful in 1943 when the War Production Board outlined a plan to mass-produce a powdered formula of the drug to aid in the WWII American war effort.1 Penicillin’s use on Allied forces in the field reduced the number of amputations and deaths by an estimated 12-15%.2 Despite penicillin’s continued use today
