To compare two different methods for extracting genomic DNA from cord blood and to evaluate their applications for HLA genotyping, the genomic DNA from 72 samples was extracted by guanidine hydrochloride (Gu * HCl) and modified guanidine hydrochloride, the DNA yield and purity were evaluated by spectrophotometry and detected by PCR with sequence-specific primers. The result showed that the genomic DNA was successfully isolated from whole blood by both methods. The modified Gu * HCl method used was better than Gu * HCl method as the modified method produces better quality of DNA and less ambiguous bands in PCR. It is concluded that modified Gu * HCl method has the advantages of low-cost, simple operation, high quality output and clear positive bands in HLA-genotyping, the modified method is optimal for extracting DNA from multiple samples of cord blood bank.

We present a bifunctional catalyst consisting of a copper(I)/N-heterocyclic carbene and an organocatalytic guanidine moiety that enables, for the first time, a copper(I)-catalyzed reduction of amides with H as the terminal reducing agent. The guanidine allows for reactivity tuning of the originally weakly nucleophilic copper(I) hydrides - formed in situ - to be able to react with difficult-to-reduce amides. Additionally, the guanidine moiety is key for the selective recognition of "privileged" amides based on simple and readily available heterocycles in the presence of other amides within one molecule, giving rise to hitherto unknown site-selective catalytic amide hydrogenation.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method was developed to create multifunctional cellulose fabric that combines antibacterial properties with improved dyeability.
  • The process involved reacting epoxidized soybean oil with cellulose and polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride under alkaline conditions to introduce both hydrophobic and cationic characteristics.
  • The modified cotton showed impressive dye performance without salt, high colorfastness, and adjustable levels of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, all achieved through a simple and eco-friendly chemical modification method.

Assessing the impact of conformational perturbants on folding and aggregation pathways of a β-barrel fold.

Here we explore the interplay between physical and chemical perturbants to unravel links among native folding, amorphous and ordered aggregation scenarios in IFABP (rat intestinal fatty acid binding protein). This small beta-barrel protein undergoes amyloid-like aggregation above 15 % v/v trifluoroethanol. Our aim was to address the influence of sub-aggregating TFE concentrations on the unfolding transitions of IFABP.

The goal of this work was to synthesize new compounds for anticancer evaluation as a trial to obtain new antitumor agents with higher activity and fewer side effects. Therefore, the precursor 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis (thiazole-4,2-diyl))bis (3-(dimethylamino)acrylonitrile) was used to synthesize various azolopyrimidine derivatives connected to the thiazole moiety. Compounds -, including pyrazolopyrimidine, triazolopyrimidine, and others, were produced by reacting enaminonitrile with different -nucleophiles.
