Copper-free click chemistry is an alternative approach to click chemistry that proceeds at a lower activation barrier and is free of cytotoxic transition metal catalysts.1 The absence of exogenous metal catalysts makes these reactions suitable for the in vivo applications of bioorthogonal ...
Sialic acids are negatively charged monosaccharides found on the non-reducing termini of glycans.They are important for the stability and 3D conformation of glycoproteins and are involved in many biological interactions. Sialic acids often have a pivotal functional impact: for example ...
All-trans retinoic acid (RA, ATRA) is a pleiotropic activation factor that regulates genes associated with normal vertebrate cellular processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic development. Retinoic acid and the receptor proteins for which it is an ...
The TGF-β family (Transforming growth factor-beta family) includes members of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, BMP (Bone morphogenetic protein), Activin, and Nodal, which play important roles in a variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, extracellular ...
The Grignard reactions are a class of organometallic chemical reactions in which alkyl, allyl, vinyl, or aryl magnesium halides (Grignard reagents) are added to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or ketone. The reaction is an important tool for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic chemistry.
In gene delivery, vectors are essential in the passage of DNA (hydrophilic, negatively charged) through cell membranes (hydrophobic, negatively charged). In addition, therapeutic efficiency also depends on the efficient delivery of DNA to the target site. Due to the many delivery barriers in the ...
Organic chemistry is a vast field that encompasses various synthetic pathways for producing complex molecules. One method is the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. This is a versatile reaction involving the condensation of carbonyl compounds and active methylene compounds to form ...
Photoredox catalysis has become a powerful synthetic method, which can form Covalent bond under mild reaction conditions through light irradiation.
Grignard reagent, also known as Grignard compound, refers to a class of hydrocarbon-based magnesium halide organometallic compounds. The chemical formula of Grignard Reagent is R-Mg-X, where X is a halogen and R is an organic group, usually an alkyl or aryl group. Two typical examples are ...
