Molecular mechanism of physical gelation of hydrocarbons by fatty acid amides of natural amino acids
摘要:
A variety of fatty acid amides of different naturally occurring L-amino acids have been synthesized and they are found to form gels with various hydrocarbons. The gelation properties of these compounds were studied by a number of physical methods including FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, rheology, and it was found that gelation depended critically on the fatty acid chain length and the nature of the amino acid. Among them L-alanine based gelators were found to be the most efficient and versatile gelators as they self-assemble into a layered structure to form the gel network. Mechanisms for the assembly and formation of gels from these molecules are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The synthesis and biologicalevaluation of analogues of uridylpeptide antibiotics were described, and the molecular interaction between the 3′-hydroxy analogue of mureidomycin A (3′-hydroxymureidomycin A) and its target enzyme, phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide transferase (MraY), was analyzed in detail. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) involving MraY inhibition suggests that the side chain at the

Stable aqueous SWNT dispersion up to 92% was achieved using amino acid based amphiphiles through a structure–property investigation. The nanohybrids showed remarkable serum stability and biocompatibility to mammalian cells.
Novel chiral aminoacidderivedionicliquid crystals with amine and amide moieties as spacers between the imidazolium head group and the alkyl chain were synthesised. The key step in the synthesis utilised the relatively uncommon SO3 leaving group in a microwave‐assisted reaction. The mesomorphic properties of the mesogens were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarising optical
