Journal ArticleDOI

Autocatalytic, bistable, oscillatory networks of biologically relevant organic reactions

TL;DR: By using small organic molecules to build a network of organic reactions with autocatalytic, bistable and oscillatory behaviour, principles are identified that explain the ways in which dynamic networks relevant to life could have developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal decomposition of vinylic copper(I) and silver(I) organometallic compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that free propenyl radicais are not intermediates in these thermal coupling re-ttctions, when interpreted in light of the known rate of inversion of configuration of vinylradicirls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-Reactivity Relations for Thiol-Disulfide Interchange

TL;DR: In this article, equilibrium constants were determined for thiol-disulfide interchange between 36 di- and trithiols and the disulfides derived from either 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis as a route to esters of chiral epoxy alcohols

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of enzymes that hydrolyze glycidol esters indicated that E.C. 3.1.3, Sigma Type II, from porcine pancreas, has the best combination of activi ty, select ivi ty and cost.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noncovalent Polycationic Coatings for Capillaries in Capillary Electrophoresis of Proteins

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the charge ladder obtained by acetylation of lysozyme is a good model with which to test the efficiency of polycationic coatings, and suggests that protein adsorption is mainly driven by electrostatic interactions.
