Bagasse high boiling solvent lignin is a polymer prepared by high boiling solvent pulping process. In the IR spectra, the absorbance of HBS lignin at 1700 and 1 328 cm(-1) is present. It is showed that the nonconjugated carbonyl existed. The strong absorbance of UV spectra of HBS lignin is about 201 nm for n-->pi electron transition, which indicates that the HBS lignin is an unsaturated polymer. Judged from the 1H NMR, the syringyl and guaiacyl group in the lignin is present. The element composition and the content of OCH3 group were investigated. The empirical C9-formula of the lignin is C9H9.79O2.58(OCH)0.75 according to dealing with the experiment data. The weight-average molecular weight of the HBS lignin is 2674 g x mol(-1).

The question how microbial enzyme-catalyzed oxidation processes of organic pollutants and lignin model compounds (LMCs) are affected by the release of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) into the environment remains to be addressed at the molecular level. We have, therefore concentrated the effects of SWCNT on some important properties associated with enzyme activity and function during microbial oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzo(a)pyrene, acenaphthene and anthracene), LMCs (2,6-dimethoxyphenol, guaiacol and veratryl alcohol) and β-hexachlorocyclohexane, including the behaviour of water molecules, hydrogen bonds (HBs) and hydrophobic interactions (HYs) between ligand and the enzyme, and conformational dynamics in N- and C-terminus. Our study revealed that SWCNT significantly affected the behaviour of water molecules within 5 Å of both these substrates and their respective enzymes during oxidation (p < 0.

Klason lignin or preacid hydrolysate of a poaceous biomass such as rice husk, rice straw ( Oryza sativa ), and wheat straw ( Triticum aestivum ) became a good source of highly pure silica by simple calcinations in the testing process for application of high-boiling solvent (HBS) pulping of agricultural byproduct. Especially, Klason lignin or preacid hydrolysis residue of rice husks offered highly purified silica, which was converted to an excellent Ni/SiO(2) catalyst for methanation of carbon dioxide. The Ni/SiO(2) catalyst showed superior properties after the following sequential treatments; preacid hydrolysis of rice husks, HBS pulping of the resultant residue, cellulase hydrolysis of the HBS pulp, calcinations of the resultant powder, impregnation of the silica sample with an aqueous solution of nickel nitrate, and final calcinations.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a cytopathic retrovirus and the primary etiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related disorders. In cells chronically infected with HIV-1, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation by external stimuli such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) augments replication of HIV-1. NF-kappaB involves in many diseases such as inflammation, cancer, and Crohn's disease.
