A generic LC-MS/MS method was developed for the analysis of potentially genotoxic alkyl halides. A broad selection of alkyl halides were derivatized using 4-dimethylaminopyridine in acetonitrile. The reaction conditions for derivatization, i.e., solvent, reaction time, temperature and concentration of alkyl

Catalysts hold promise as tools for chemical protein modification. However, the application of catalysts or catalyst-mediated reactions to proteins has only recently begun to be addressed, mainly in in vitro systems. By radically improving the affinity-guided DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) (AGD) catalysts
An effective method for grafting L-lactide (LA) from unmodified cellulose by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) in homogeneous mild conditions is presented. By using 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as an organic catalyst, cellulose-graft-poly(L-lactide) (cellulose-g-PLLA) copolymers with a molar substitution (MS(PLLA)) of PLLA in a

To maximize therapeutic effects, targeted delivery of nucleic acids (e.g., DNA and RNA) in their appropriate intracellular targets is highly desirable. In this study, primary amines of a model polymeric nonviral carrier, polyethylenimine (PEI), at two molecular weights (0.8 and
The development of highly sensitive and selective detection techniques for the discrimination of relevant toxic benzenethiols and biologically active aliphatic thiols is of considerable importance in the fields of chemical, biological, and environmental sciences. In this article, we describe a
