Application

3-Indoleacetic acid (IAA) can be used as a building block to synthesize ,(±) harmacine using 4,4-diethoxybutan-1-amine via an acid-catalyzed acyl iminium ion cyclization reaction.
(±)-Harmacine is a vital step in the synthesis of a variety of indole alkaloids and dopamine/serotonin receptor ligands. IAA can also be used in the preparation of alkaloid (±)-19-hydroxyibogamine.

Alteration of the lipid composition of biological membranes interferes with their function and can cause tissue damage by triggering apoptosis. Upon lipid bilayer stress, the endoplasmic reticulum mounts a stress response similar to the unfolded protein response. However, only a

Algal blooms can seriously affect the operation of water treatment processes including low pressure (micro- and ultra-filtration) and high pressure (nanofiltration and reverse osmosis) membranes mainly due to accumulation of algal-derived organic matter (AOM). In this study, the different components

Topoisomerase II (TOP2) relieves torsional stress by forming transient cleavage complex intermediates (TOP2ccs) that contain TOP2-linked DNA breaks (DSBs). While TOP2ccs are normally reversible, they can be "trapped" by chemotherapeutic drugs such as etoposide and subsequently converted into irreversible TOP2-linked

Genomic DNA is framed by additional layers of information, referred to as the epigenome. Epigenomic marks such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and histone variants are concentrated on specific genomic sites, where they can both instruct and reflect gene expression.
