Quasiclassical trajectory calculations have been performed for the H + H′X(v) → X HH′ abstraction and XH H′ (X = Cl, F) exchange reactions of vibrationally excited diatomic reactant at a wide collision energy range extending to ultracold temperatures. Vibrational excitation increases cross sections significantly. If vibrational is larger than height potential barrier reaction, reactive diverge very low energies, similarly capture reactions. The divergence quenched by rotational but returns...
Besides aiding digestion, bile salts are important signal molecules exhibiting a regulatory role in metabolic processes. Human ileal acid binding protein (I-BABP) is an intracellular carrier of the epithelial cells distal small intestine and has key enterohepatic circulation salts. Positive cooperativity combined with site selectivity glycocholate glycochenodeoxycholate, two most abundant human body, make I-BABP unique member family lipid proteins.
