Intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations took up plasmid DNA. Li+, Cs+, Rb+, K+, and Na+ were effective in inducing competence. Conditions for the transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae D13-1A YRp7 studied detail CsCl. The optimum incubation time was 1 h, cell concentration 5 x 10(7) per ml. Cs+ 1.0 M. Transformation efficiency increased increasing concentrations Polyethylene glycol absolutely required. Heat pulse various polyamines or basic proteins stimulated uptake Besides...

Photocatalytic oxidation of benzene to CO(2) was studied in aqueous solutions using different kinds TiO(2) powders, and isotopic oxygen tracers (H(2)(18)O (18)O(2)) were used investigate the process. Phenol produced as a main intermediate solution. When anatase which showed high activity for benzene, used, 70-90% introduced into phenol from water. On other hand, when rutile powders only 20-40% The rest molecular both cases. rate production by nearly same between powders. Hence, is attributed...

This study deals with the statistical properties of group formation random waves determined by zero-up-cross method. Probability distributions about (1) run high (2) total (3) resonant wave period are derived theoretically providing that time series height and form Markov chain. Transition probabilities given 2-dimensional Rayleigh distribution for train Weibull train. And very good agreements between data theoretical have been obtained. Then paper discusses those parameters which affect...

The enhancer of the rat ornithine transcarbamylase gene is located 11 kilobases upstream from transcription start site and has been shown to be hepatoma cell-specific. Using transgenic mice, we showed that this capable activating in a liver-specific manner, inverting tissue specificity homologous promoter by itself more active small intestine than liver. Transient transfection analysis with cultured cells indicated activity resides approximately 110-base pair region containing four...

γ-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (γGCS), a rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis, plays central role homeostasis and is target for development of potential therapeutic agents against parasites cancer. We have determined the crystal structures Escherichia coli γGCS unliganded complexed with sulfoximine-based transition-state analog inhibitor at resolutions 2.5 2.1 Å, respectively. In structure complex, bound phosphorylated sulfoximido nitrogen coordinated to three Mg 2+ ions. The...

A series of ruthenium(II) porphyrin dimers and trimers (carbonyl dimers, 1-4; carbonyl trimers, 5-7, bis(pyridyl) 8-10), having axial or bridging ligands, were synthesized characterized by (1)H NMR IR spectroscopy mass spectrometry. An X-ray structural determination Ru(II)(OEP)(CO)(H(2)PyP(3)P) (1) (OEP = octaethylporphyrinato dianion, H(2)PyP(3)P 5-pyridyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinato dianion) was carried out. The ligand is coordinated to the ruthenium subunit obliquely. Ru-N(Py) bond...

^{140}Ce(n,γ) is a key reaction for slow neutron-capture (s-process) nucleosynthesis due to being bottleneck in the flow. For this reason, it was measured with high accuracy (uncertainty ≈5%) at n_TOF facility, an unprecedented combination of purity sample and low neutron-sensitivity detectors. The Maxwellian averaged cross section up 40% higher than previously accepted values. Stellar model calculations indicate reduction around 20% s-process contribution Galactic cerium abundance smaller...

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) particles were successfully prepared by dispersion polymerization of acrylic acid in ionic liquid, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium bis(trifluoro-methanesulfonyl)amide ([DEME][TFSA]) at 70 °C with low hydrolysis grade (35.4%) poly(vinyl alcohol) as stabilizer. Interestingly, the PAA easily extracted particle state water. Thus, had a cross-linked structure during without cross-linker. Moreover, it was also noted that cross-linking density could be...
