CHIRAL WATER-SOLUBLE MOLECULAR CAPSULES WITH AMPHIPHILIC INTERIORS

Chiral Water-Soluble Molecular Capsules With Amphiphilic Interiors

We present the synthesis of new chiral water-soluble dimeric capsules by the multicomponent Mannich reaction between charged amino acids (glutamic acid or arginine), resorcinarene, and formaldehyde and by subsequent self-assembly.The zwitterionic character of the backbones enables electrostatic interactions between arms and induces self-assembly of

Biochemistry of the Endocrine Heart

Production and release of natriuretic peptides and other vasoactive peptides are tightly regulated in mammalian physiology and involved in cardiovascular homeostasis.As endocrine cells, the cardiac myocytes seem to possess almost all known chemical necessities for translation, post-translational modifications, and complex peptide proteolysis.In sev

Clonorchiasis sinensis detected by laparoscopic exploration of biliary tracts in two patients with obstructive jaundice

Abstract Background Hepatic clonorchiasis is one of the most prevalent food-borne parasitic diseases worldwide.Clonorchis sinensis, the pathogen, is the major parasitic trigger contributing to cholangitis, cholelithiasis, and even cholangiocarcinoma.Unfortunately, unspecific clinical manifestations of patients with ngetikin hepatic clonorchiasis te
