The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic polynomials resulting from the molecular graphs used as molecular descriptors in the characterization of the properties of chemical compounds. A formal calculus method is proposed in order t...

Additional specific rates of solvolysis are determined for phenyl chloroformate.These values are combined with literature values to give a total of 49 data points, which areused within simple and extended Grunwald-Winstein treatments. Literature valu...

This paper deals with review of exploration of resonance in symmetric topmolecules in different vibrational excited states, v_t = n (n =1, 2, 3, 4). Calculations for CF₃CCH shows that resonance take place at [Eq. 20] and [Eq. 21] for v₁₀ = 2 and v₁₀ =...

The radical-scavenging activity of estrogens (estrone, 2-hydroxyestradiol),estrogen-like compounds (diethylstilbestrol, DES; bisphenol A, BPA) and the mono-phenolic compound 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BMP) was investigated using themethod of mea...

A series of sulfonium halides bearing allyl groups have been prepared andcharacterized. Anion metathesis with Li[Tf₂N] and Ag[N(CN)₂] resulted in sulfonium-basedionic liquids which exhibit low viscosities at room temperature. The solid state structur...

Loss of imprinting (LOI) of insulin-like growth factor II gene (IGF2) is anepigenetic abnormality associated with human diseases. However, little is known about thecharacteristics of IGF2 imprinting in newborn cord blood cells. METHODS: A total of 92...

A homeodomain-containing transcription factor Csx/Nkx2.5 is an importantregulator of cardiogensis in mammals. There has been considerable interest in understandingdeterminants of the diverse cardiac phenotypes associated with Csx/Nkx2.5 mutationssitu...
