The ‘capture’ of proteins by small molecules via irreversible cross-linking mediated by photo-irradiation is of interest in the field of proteomics (for reviews see ref. 1). The technique has the potential for profiling ...

1-(m-Chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) has a fairly complex neuropsychopharmacological profile owing to its affinity to multiple serotonergic receptors. This investigation was designed to establish the effect of mCPP on rodent ...

A solid-state vapor sensor in parallel electrode configuration was fabricated by employing 1-D TiO 2 nanorods as a sensing layer. Highly ordered and oriented TiO 2 nanorods were synthesized on a Ti substrate by using ...

In this paper, we investigate the quality of MOSFET gate stacks where high- k materials are implemented as gate dielectrics. We evaluate both drain- and gate-current noises in order to obtain information about the defect ...

An experimental set-up involving a combination of reverse electrochemical etching and the floating-layer technique of tip preparation is presented. In the model only dc bias is used, avoiding the shortcomings of ac bias. ...

Over the past few decades, VEGF-targeted antiangiogenic therapy for cancers has gained increasing attention. Nevertheless, there are still several limitations such as the potential resistance mechanisms arising in cancer ...

A one-dimensional coordination polymer of nickel(II), [(μN,S-NCS)2{Ni(ampy)}]n (ampy=1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal analysis. Structure analysis reveals that ...

Biotic and abiotic stresses take a heavy toll on crop productivity in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). To deal with this problem, considerable efforts have been made to understand the molecular mechanism underlying stress ...

A new series of 2-(3′-indolyl)-N-arylthiazole-4-carboxamides 17a–p has been designed and synthesized. Initial reaction of readily available thioamides 15 with bromopyruvic acid under refluxing conditions produced different ...
