Reaction of lead nitrate and 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid under hydrothermal conditions carried out at different temperatures and pH yields a hybrid Compound Pb-2(1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate)2, 1, and a three-dimensional ...

Objective: To evaluate whether polymorphisms in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PPARGC1A) gene were related to body fat in Asian Indians. Methods: Three polymorphisms of PPARGC1A ...

Experimental and computational studies indicate that the formation of a series of zinc 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylates takes place under thermodynamic rather than kinetic control.

A systematic study has been carried out on the three isomeric cyclohexanedicarboxylates (CHDCs) formed by cadmium and manganese with the three isomeric dicarboxylic acids, in the presence or absence of amines. The CHDCs ...

By employing the hydrothermal method, five zinc cyclohexanedicarboxylates (CHDCs) with the compositions, [Zn2(1,4-CHDC)(1,10-phen)4]·(H2O)2(NO3)2 (I), [Zn(1,4-CHDC)] (II), [Zn3(1,3-CHDC)3(4,4′-bipy)] (III), [Zn5(OH)2(1,3-CHDC)4] ...

The literature on inorganic open-framework materials abounds in the synthesis and characterization of metal silicates, phosphates and carboxylates. Most of these materials have an organic amine as the template. In the last ...

The tumor suppressor protein p53 regulates transcription of many genes that mediate cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, DNA repair and other cellular responses. Here we show that Ipaf, a human CED-4 homologue and an activator ...

Hydrogen sensing characteristics of thick films of nanoparticles (similar to 35 nm diameter) of ZnO, 3% Co doped ZnO, 1% Pt-impregnated ZnO and 1% Pt-impregnated 3% Co-ZnO have been investigated. The last composition ...

Negative differential resistance (NDR) has been observed for the first time above room temperature in gallium nitride nanocrystals synthesized by a simple chemical route. Current-voltage characteristics have been used to ...

Human transcriptional coactivator PC4 is a highly abundant nuclear protein that is involved in diverse cellular processes ranging from transcription to chromatin organization. Earlier, we have shown that PC4, a positive ...
