Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction is a reaction in which hydrogen peroxide, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), peracetic acid, or peroxytrifluoroacetic acid are used as oxidants to break the C-C bond of carbonyl groups, thereby introducing oxygen atoms, and oxidizing aldehydes and ketones to ...
Asymmetric phase transfer catalysis (PTC) is now widely used as a "green" alternative route to numerous homogeneous synthesizer transformations as well. The typical chiral organocatalyst for asymmetric phase transfer catalysis is the synthesis of modified cinchona alkaloids. Several generations ...
Basic Concepts about Catalysts
The aldol condensation reaction is an organic reaction introduced by Charles Wurtz, who first prepared the β-hydroxy aldehyde from acetaldehdye in 1872. In an aldol condensation, an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound in the presence of acid/base catalyst to form a β-hydroxy aldehyde ...
Immunoprecipitation (IP) is one of the most widely used immunochemical techniques. Immunoprecipitation followed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, is routinely used in a variety of applications: to determine the molecular weights of protein antigens, to study protein/protein interactions, to ...
Albumin is the most important protein in human plasma and plays an important role in maintaining blood volume and body fluid balance. It is a spherical simple protein soluble in water and coagulated with heat. Its molecular structure was clarified in 1975. It is a single-chain polypeptide with ...
Friedel–Crafts Acylation reactions are a class of reactions in which aromatic hydrocarbons are acylated with chlorides or anhydrides under the conditions of Lewis acids as catalysts. This reaction generally does not produce multiple acylation products like alkylation reactions due to the ...
various fields ranging from biomedical engineering to photovoltaic power generation. Most applications take advantage of the excellent optical properties of gold nanoparticles, which can be fine-tuned by changing their shape and size.
The past two decades have seen breakthroughs in understanding molecular biology, genomics, and nanotechnology. The intersection of these three disciplines has opened up a new field of research - bionanotechnology and nano biomedical technology.
