Two new polyhydroxysteroidal glycosides, anthenosides A₁ (1) and A₂ (2), and one previously known steroidal glycoside anthenoside A (3) were isolated from extract of the tropical starfish Anthenea aspera. Structures of 1⁻3 were determined by analysis of the spectroscopic data
Every decision we make is accompanied by a sense of confidence about its likely outcome. This sense informs subsequent behavior, such as investing more-whether time, effort, or money-when reward is more certain. A neural representation of confidence should originate from
Highly efficient asymmetric reduction of 2-octanone to (R)-2-octanol catalyzed by immobilized Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 cells was achieved in a biphasic system. Bioreduction conducted in aqueous single phase buffer was limited due to poor solubility and toxicity towards cells cause

Lipase from three different sources has been immobilised in microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) with retention of catalytic activity. Such lipase-containing MBGs prove to be novel solid-phase catalysts for use in apolar organic solvents such as n-heptane. Using these systems, preparative-scale synthesis

Core-shell type of nanoparticles (NPs) with manipulated degradation rate and balanced hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties were designed and characterized. The NPs based on the copolymers of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (BCA) and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (OCA) were prepared by anion emulsion polymerization in 0.01N HCl
