A Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigation of 2,2'-Bithiophene Using Experimental and DFT Methods
Organic compounds like 2,2’-Bithiophene (with a synonym. 2,2'-bithienyl, 2,2'-dithienyl)-containing bis(dioxaborin) have drawn significant concern in the area of materials science because of their electron affinity and luminescent properties.

Biological activity differences between TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 correlate with differences in the rigidity and arrangement of their component monomers [PDF]
[Image: see text] TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3 are small, secreted signaling proteins. They share 71–80% sequence identity and signal through the same receptors, yet the isoform-specific null mice have distinctive phenotypes and are inviable.

Computational and Spectral Investigation of 5,12-Dihydro-5,12-ethanonaphthacene-13-carbaldehyde
A conformational search of 5,12-dihydro-5,12-ethanonaphthacene-13-carbaldehyde predicted the presence of twelve conformations. The geometry of the twelve conformations established at the B3LYP/6-31G* level showed only six unique ones.

Synthesis and Ab Initio Study of Pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine Derivatives [PDF]
Tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives 1 were utilized for the synthesis of several new pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives 2. Compound 2 was obtained in the presence of Ac2O/H2SO4 (as a catalyst) and was confirmed by spectroscopic data such as IR, 1H NMR ...

Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Naphthoxazine-Fused Phenanthrene Derivatives
The synthesis of new phenanthr[9,10-e][1,3]oxazines was achieved by the direct coupling of 9-phenanthrol with cyclic imines in the modified aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction followed by the ring closure of the resulting bifunctional aminophenanthrols with ...

Quantum mechanical calculation of the effects of stiff and rigid constraints in the conformational equilibrium of the Alanine dipeptide [PDF]
If constraints are imposed on a macromolecule, two inequivalent classical models may be used: the stiff and the rigid one. This work studies the effects of such constraints on the Conformational Equilibrium Distribution (CED) of the model dipeptide HCO-L-

Charge environments around phosphorylation sites in proteins [PDF]
Background: Phosphorylation is a central feature in many biological processes. Structural analyses have identified the importance of charge-charge interactions, for example mediating phosphorylation-driven allosteric change and protein binding to ...
