The function of the fibrinolytic system was first identified to dissolve fibrin to maintain vascular patency. Connections between the fibrinolytic system and many other physiological and pathological processes have been well established. Dysregulation of the fibrinolytic system is closely associated

A comparative analysis for relative stability between normal and tautomeric forms in the excited electronic states of 7-azaindole···δ-valerolactam 1:1 complex and 7-azaindole homodimer has been presented. The tautomeric configuration of the complex is estimated to be ~6 kcal/mol more stable

Caprolactam is an important polymer precursor to nylon traditionally derived from petroleum and produced on a scale of 5 million tons per year. Current biological pathways for the production of caprolactam are inefficient with titers not exceeding 2 mg/L, necessitating

We studied the single-photon ionization of gas-phase δ-valerolactam (piperidin-2-one) and of its dimer using vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation coupled to a velocity map imaging electron/ion coincidence spectrometer. The slow photoelectron spectrum (SPES) of the monomer is dominated by the vibrational

Microbial production of chemicals and materials from renewable sources is becoming increasingly important for sustainable chemical industry. Here, we report construction of a new and efficient platform metabolic pathway for the production of four-carbon (butyrolactam), five-carbon (valerolactam) and six-carbon (caprolactam)
