An investigation of the membranotropic properties of the plant toxin thionin isolated fromPyrularia pubera

It has been shown by the ESR of spin probes that thionin initially interacts with with negatively charged membranes electrostatically and then passes into the membranes to a depth comparable with the length of the hydrophobic sections of the protein loops.Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent.

Diastereoselective Alkylation of (Diene-Aldehyde)Fe(CO)3 Complexes with Functionalized Zinc-Copper Reagents NuCu(CN)Znl

Addition of functionalized zinc-copper reagents to the title complexes proceeds in a highly diastereoselective fashion to afford dienol complexes. The relative configurations of adducts 3d were determined by single X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry determination of aromatic amines in hydrolysed urine from workers exposed to thermal degradation products of polyurethane

Chromatographia - An LC-MS method is described for the determination of 4,4′-MDA (4,4′-methylene dianiline) in hydrolysed urine as a biomarker for exposure to 4,4′-MDI...     

Limits of resolution and speed of analysis in linear chromatography with and without focusing

Chromatographia - Previously [11], the theoretical limit ofresolution in one class of chromatographic conditions was found and its proof was briefly outlined. Here, the theoretical limits...     

Prediction of chromatographic retention of metal complexes from stability constants measured by ion chromatography

Chromatographia - A theoretical model is used to predict retention times of divalent metal cations in single-column ion chromatography using one or more ligands in the eluent. Stability constants...     

Linearization of column responses by correlation chromatography. Separation improvement and reduction of undesired adsorption effects

Summary Experiments and simulations prove that correlation chromatography can greatly reduce the disadvantage of a non-linear response of the chromatographic column. A factor that has been accepted as being an important source of error in correlation or multiplex chromatography, has been shown not to be. Separations affected, improve dramatically when correlation chromatography is used, and a substantial amount of correlation noise only arises when there is a large difference in separation between a conventional chromatogram and a correlogram.A model has been developed for simulating these nonlinearities. It is shown that, especially for correlation chromatography, the simulation results match the practical measurements very well.
