The arrangements described herein are based upon a theory of selective absorption of hydrogen sulphide over carbon dioxide from gas based on countercurrent contact between gas and tertiary or other amines which exhibi t preferential affinity for H2S over CO2 primarily because of differential rat es of absorption of the two gases. The process of enhanced selective absorption is accomplished by perf...

L is a monovalent radical, such as, for example, an amino group, an N-substituted amino group, a beta-hydroxylamino group, a hydrazido group, an alkoxy group, a thioalkoxy...

The ability of a query compound to modulate the biological activity of a receptor in a multicellular organism is predicted on the basis of its interaction with that receptor in the presence of various member of a panel of BioKeys. The BioKeys are ligands, especially peptides or nucleic acids, known to modify the conformation of the receptor. This interaction data, known as a "fingerprint", is comp...

A pixel signal amplification circuit (200) receives a signal from a pixel element. A first semiconductor switch (225a) is connected to the pixel element and transfers a reset value of the pixel signal to a first storage capacitor (C1). A second semiconductor switch (235a) is also connected to the pixel element and transfers a sampled pixel signal to a second storage capacitor (C3). A differential ...

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of peptides using an excess of an activated carboxylic component to acylate an amino component, wherein after the acylation an amine comprising a free anion or a latent anion is used as a scavenger of residual activated carboxylic functions. This process is useful for the preparation of oligo- and polypeptides and, more generally, in ...
