Solvents for CO2 capture. Structure-activity relationships combined with vapour-liquid-equilibrium measurements

In this study a systematic approach was chosen to test and characterize amine systems for CO2 capture. Vapour-liquid-equilibrium measurements were performed on a homologue series of amines, with ethylene amine as base structure. Various functional groups were used that ranged in chemical and physical properties. The effect of the addition of the...

Apolipoprotein E1-Hammersmith (Lys146 → Asn;Arg147 → Trp), due to a dinucleotide substitution, is associated with early manifestation of dominant type III hyperlipoproteinaemia

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is one of the major protein constituents of chylomicron and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants and plays a central role as a ligand in the receptor-mediated uptake of these particles by the liver. Here we describe a new variant of apoE, apoE1-Hammersmith, which is associated with dominantly expressed type III...

In vitro evaluation of some latent radioprotective compounds

In tissue culture, protection against X irradiation by a number of cysteamine derivatives was studied and the results were compared with data obtained in mice. Compounds with a covered SH group, like WR 638, cysteamine phosphate, WR 2721 and AE AE 48527, showed practically no protection when dissolved in tissue culture medium, but developed a...

Radiosensitization of biologically active DNA in cellular extracts by oxygen. Evidence that the presence of SH compounds is not required

The radiosensitization by oxygen of biologically active bacteriophage DNA in bacterial extracts was studied. The oxygen effect in such a system appeared not to be due or only to a minor extent to the presence of endogenous sulphydryl compounds. The components in a cell extract which enable oxygen and other sensitizers to sensitize DNA could not...
