Microstructural properties and their influence on Jc have been studied in detail Ag-sheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes prepared by the powder-in-tube method. The present study centres two important factors for achievement of high values: (1) liquid phase reaction during (2223) formation at 847 degrees C composition Bi1.72Pb0.34Sr1.83Ca1.97Cu3.13Ox leads to better connectivity between platelets, thus considerably improving (77 K, 0 T): single packing powders formed no heat treatment therefore...
We have recently reported the first artificial nucleoside for alternative DNA base pairing through metal complexation (J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 5002-5003). In this context, we accomplished a Ag(I)-mediated pair or triplet in double- triple-stranded DNA, respectively, by introducing of pyridine nucleobases middle sequence. As result, incorporated Ag(I) complex significantly stabilized duplex and triplex. This strategy would be expanded to regulation thermodynamic stability triplex adding...
Tropinone is an alkamine intermediate at the branch point of biosynthetic pathways leading to various tropane alkaloids. Two stereospecifically distinct NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases, TR-I and TR-II, which, respectively, reduce tropinone 3alpha-hydroxytropane (tropine) 3beta-hydroxytropane (psi-tropine), were detected mainly in root alkaloid-producing plants but not nonproducing cultured root. Both reductases purified near homogeneity from Hyoscyamus niger characterized. The reaction was...

Bi(2223)/Ag monofilamentary tapes have been characterized by measurements of jc vs. B and theta , the angle between applied magnetic field c axis. High degree texturing, high density Bi(2223) single phase conditions were found to be major effects leading values. A further condition for reaching highest values is a very low overall carbon content, presence at grain boundaries acting as strong limiting factor.
