Synthetic Chemistry
1. Metabolism of Monoterpenes: Conversion of l-Menthone to l-Menthol and d-Neomenthol by Stereospecific Dehydrogenases from Peppermint (Mentha piperita) Leaves.
The monoterpene ketone l-menthone is specifically converted to l-menthol and l-menthyl acetate and to d-neomenthol and d-neomenthyl-beta-d-glucoside in mature peppermint (Mentha piperita L. cv. Black Mitcham) leaves. The selectivity of product formation results from compartmentation of the menthol dehydrogenase with the acetyl transferase and that
🔑 Key Finding: The selectivity of product formation results from compartmentation of the menthol dehydrogenase with the acetyl transferase and that
2. Methyl Acetate and its singly deuterated isotopomers in the interstellar medium
Methyl acetate (CH_3COOCH_3) has been recently observed by IRAM 30 m radio telescope in Orion though the presence of its deuterated isotopomers is yet to be confirmed. We therefore study the properties of various forms of methyl acetate, namely, CH_3COOCH_3, CH_2DCOOCH_3 and CH_3COOCH_2D. Our simulation reveals that these species could be produced
3. Demonstration of the Intercellular Compartmentation of l-Menthone Metabolism in Peppermint (Mentha piperita) Leaves.
The metabolism of l-menthone, which is synthesized in the epidermal oil glands of peppermint (Mentha piperita L. cv. Black Mitcham) leaves, is compartmented; on leaf maturity, this ketone is converted to l-menthol and l-menthyl acetate in one compartment, and to d-neomenthol and d-neomenthyl glucoside in a separate compartment. All of the enzymes i

4. Metabolism of Monoterpenes : EVIDENCE FOR COMPARTMENTATION OF l-MENTHONE METABOLISM IN PEPPERMINT (MENTHA PIPERITA) LEAVES.
Previous studies have shown that the monoterpene ketone l-[G-(3)H]-menthone is reduced to the epimeric alcohols l-menthol and d-neomenthol in leaf discs of flowering peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), and that a portion of the menthol is converted to menthyl acetate while the bulk of the neomenthol is transformed to neomenthyl-beta-d-glucoside (Crote

5. Quantum Magnetic Deflagration in Mn12 Acetate
We report controlled ignition of magnetization reversal avalanches by surface acoustic waves in a single crystal of Mn12 acetate. Our data show that the speed of the avalanche exhibits maxima on the magnetic field at the tunneling resonances of Mn12. Combined with the evidence of magnetic deflagration in Mn12 acetate (Suzuki et al., cond-mat/050656
6. Association Free Energies of Metal Cations with Mesylate and Acetate in Brine Calculated via Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Here we report results from fully-atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and present the calculated binding free energies of the associations between metal cations and anionic functional groups under brine condition. Specifically the ion pair formations of Na+ and Ca2+ metal cations with sulfonate and carboxylate functional groups were considered
7. An Ice Structuring Mechanism for Zirconium Acetate
The control of ice nucleation and growth is critical in many natural and engineering situations. Yet, very few compounds are able to interact directly with the surface of ice crystals. Ice-structuring proteins, found in certain fishes, plants and insects, bind to the surface of ice, thereby controlling their growth. We recently revealed the ice-str
8. Intraspecific variability of the essential oil of Ziziphora clinopodioides ssp. rigida from Iran.
Hydrodistillated essential oils of Ziziphora clinopodioides ssp. rigida from nine populations of the Lashgardar protected region (Hamedan Province, Iran) were analyzed by using GC and GC/MS techniques to determine the intraspecific chemical variability. Altogether, 39 compounds were identified in the oils, and a relatively high variation in their c
