n-Butyraldoxime (n-BO) is known to cause a disulfiram/ethanol-like reaction in humans, a manifestation of the inhibition of hepatic aldehyde dehydrogenase (AIDH). As with a number of other in vivo inhibitors of AIDH, n-BO does not inhibit purified AIDH in vitro

Experimental evidence for an effect of molecular conformation on inner-shell ionization energies has been observed for the first time. Examples are seen in the carbon 1s spectra of butyronitrile, 1-fluoropropane, and propanal, and other similar molecules. At room temperature these

A strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae that used aliphatic nitriles as the sole source of nitrogen was adapted to benzonitrile as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Gas chromatographic and mass spectral analyses of culture filtrates indicated that K. pneumoniae

We report theoretical infrared and electronic absorption spectra of gauche and anti conformers of n-butyronitrile, their ions and 2-methylpropanenitrile isomer of n-butyronitrile. The coupled cluster theory (CCSD) and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory with TZVP basis set are used

An HPLC method for the separation and analysis of arachidonic acid and eight phospholipid classes is described: phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and 2-lysophosphatidylcholine. The separation is carried out at 60 degrees C on 2 cyanopropyl columns using
