An α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was purified and characterized kinetically from erythrocytes of the sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedti, an endangered species. The sturgeon enzyme (AgCA) showed kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction comparable with those of the human erythrocytes
A novel carbon-sensitized and nitrogen-doped TiO2 (C/N-TiO2) was synthesized by a facile sol-gel method using titanium butoxide as both titanium precursor and carbon source, and nitric acid as nitrogen source. The calcination temperature had a great effect on the crystal

Sepsis is associated with high mortality rates in intensive care units worldwide and represents a systemic inflammatory response to infection. P2X7 is an ionotropic purine receptor with known proinflammatory activity. Here, we investigated the role of the P2X7 receptor in
The synthesis of benzofused sultams and/or fluorinated sulfonamides, starting from N-allylic sulfonamides, was performed in superacid HF/SbF(5), through superelectrophilic activation. A dramatic effect of superacid composition on the selectivity of the reaction was shown and applied to the synthesis of
Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC: 4.2.1.1) was purified from sheep kidney by affinity chromatography on a Sepharose 4B-tyrosine-sulfanilamide column. By means of two consecutive procedures, the enzyme (sCA) was purified 227.61-fold with a yield of 60.75%, and a specific activity of
