Oligodeoxyribonucleotide bearing the di-acetylenic linkage has been prepared. Staring from 5-Iodo-2'-deoxyuridine(1), a four-step sequence, consisting of the Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck-type C-C coupling with acetylenic group, protection of 5'-hydroxy group, generation of acetylenic hydrogen, and Glaser oxidative coupling reaction leads to the dimeric oligodeoxyribonucleotide(5).

The moment closure method is an approximation method to compute the moments for stochastic models of chemical reaction systems. In this paper, we develop an analytic estimation of errors generated from the approximation of an infinite system of differential equations into a finite system truncated by the moment closure method. As an example, we apply the result to an essential bimolecular reaction system, the dimerization model.

A new potential function based on spectroscopic results for diatomic molecules is presented and applied to the hydrogen bonding systems. The potential energy of interaction is supposed to have electrostatic, polarization, dispersion, repulsion and effective charge-transfer contributions. Estimates of the effective charge-transfer quantity have been made based on the average charge of the proton donor and the acceptor atoms. For dimers such as water, methanol, acetic acid and formic acid, the vibrational stretching frequencies and dimerization energies are calculated and dicussed in connection with Badger-Bauer rule.

The synthesis and characterization of the nitrile ligands 3,4,5-tridodecyloxy benzonitrile (7) and 3,4,5-trioctadecyloxy benzonitrile (8), and their corresponding palladium(Ⅱ) complexes are described. The nitrile ligands display only a crystalline phase and do not show liquid crystalline behavior, while their corresponding palladium(Ⅱ) complexes dispaly an enantiotropic columnar mesophase. The induction of the columnar mesophase is mainly due to dimerization through the palladium complexation of the half disk-like nitrile ligands giving rise to a trans square planar geometry.

The compound 1,1,3,4-tetramethyl-1-sila-3-cyclopentene was obtained through the reaction of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and dichlorodimethyl-silane in THF in the presence of sodium metal. After the bromination of this compound at $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and dehydrobromination by using a base, we prepared 1.1.3.4-tetramethyl-1-sila-2,4-cyclopentadiene, Which could undergo dimerization. The identification has been done by using $^1H-,^{13}C-$ and C/H-Correlation two dimensional nmr spectroscopies.

Recombinant antibody-toxin is a bifunctional protein that binds and kills a target cell expressing a specific antigen on the surface of the cell, and its structure is chimeric, in which a toxin is fused to an antigen-binding domain such as scFv or Fab. Divalent antibody-toxin molecules showed higher cytotoxicities against cancer cell lines than monovalent molecules. However, the yields of the divalent molecules were very low. In this study, we introduced the CH2, CH3, or CH2-CH3 (=Fc) domain of antibody in the middle of the Fab-toxin between the hinge region of human IgG1 and the toxin domain to increase the yield. The covalently bonded dimer could be formed by three disulfide bridges from cysteine residues in the hinge region. The molecule with the CH3 domain showed about 3-fold higher dimerization yield than previously constructed Fab-toxin molecules, while maintaining the cytotoxic activity comparable to that of scFv-toxin. However, the introduction of CH2 or Fc domain to the same position showed little effect on the dimerization yield. We also observed that the introduction of the CH3 region made it possible to form noncovalently associated dimer molecules.

Adenylyl cyclase (AC) catalyzes the formation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) from ATP. The cAMP produced by AC serves as a secondary messenger in a variety of signal transduction pathways, and controls various cellular functions in many organisms. ACs can be grouped into six classes based on their primary amino acid sequences. Eukaryotes and mycobacteria contain only members of class III AC. The catalytic cyclase domains of class III AC are active as dimers: mammalian ACs, which are composed of a single polypeptide with two catalytic cyclase domains, form the active site as a result of intramolecular dimerization of the catalytic cyclase domains. In contrast, mycobacterial ACs function as homodimers, since their polypeptides contain a single catalytic cyclase domain. Six amino acids are required for the catalytic activity of class III AC - two aspartate residues, a lysine-aspartate pair and an arginine-asparagine pair. 16 ACs belonging to the class III were identified in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and their characteristics are reviewed.

In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the acidic properties of montmorillonite (MMT), which is commonly used as a catalyst, on the conversion and selectivity of the dimer acid methyl ester (DAME) synthesis. We synthesize DAME by the dimerization of conjugated linoleic acid methyl ester (CLAME) and oleic acid methyl ester using MMT KSF. Incidentally, trimer acid methyl ester was formed as a by-product during the DAME synthesis. There is a necessity to adequately adjust the strength and quantity of the acid site to control the selectivity of DAME. Therefore, we vary the pH of the MMT acid by using various metal hydroxides. The purpose of this study is to increase the yield of monocyclic dimer acid methyl ester, which is a substance with adequate physical properties for industrial applications (e.g., lubricant and adhesive, etc.), using a heterogeneous catalyst. We report the dimerization of fatty acid methyl ester by using base treated-KSF, and apply it to conjugated soybean oil methyl ester. Then, we transmute the acid site properties of KSF, such as pH of 5 wt.% slurry KSF and various alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Ca). Characterization of base treated-KSF using a pH meter, x-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface analysis, and temperature-programmed desorption. We conduct an analysis of CLAME and DAME using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. Through these experiments, we demonstrate the effects of the acidic properties of KSF on the conversion and selectivity of the DAME synthesis, and evaluate its industrial potential by application to waste vegetable oil.
