Recent calorimetric measurements of the solvation enthalpies of some dipeptide analogs confirm our earlier prediction that the principle of group additivity is not valid for the interaction of the peptide group with water. We examine the consequences for understanding the

The solvation dynamics of methyl acetate in heavy water are analyzed by means of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. The C horizontal lineO stretching infrared band of methyl acetate in water splits into a doublet

Several serine hydrolases catalyze a promiscuous reaction: perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids to form peroxycarboxylic acids. The working hypothesis is that perhydrolases are more selective than esterases for hydrogen peroxide over water. In this study, we tested this hypothesis, and focused

5-Substituted-2-furan methanols 1a-c are subject to enantioselective carbonyl allylation, crotylation and tert-prenylation upon exposure to allyl acetate, alpha-methyl allyl acetate, or 1,1-dimethylallene in the presence of an ortho-cyclometalated iridium catalyst modified by (R)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP, (R)-C3-TUNEPHOS, and (R)-C3-SEGPHOS, respectively. In the presence

Studies have established the value of [(methyl)1-(11)C]-acetate ([(11)C]Act) combined with 2-deoxy-2[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using positron emission tomography (PET). In this study, the metabolic fate of [(11)C]Act in HCC was characterized. Experiments with acetic acid [1-(14)C] sodium
