摘要:
Herbicide-detoxifying enzymes, compositions containing one or more of the enzymes, and plant seeds treated with the enzymes are provided. The enzymes can be used in methods for detoxifying auxin herbicides or degrading auxin plant regulators, including in methods for decontaminating surface of an apparatus used in agriculture or pesticide manufacturing, methods for decontaminating water, soil, soilless media, or sludge, and methods for protecting a plant from an auxin herbicide, improving a plant's tolerance to an auxin herbicide, or removing an auxin herbicide from the surface of a plant.

A biodegradable cationic polymer is disclosed, comprising first repeat units derived from a first cyclic carbonyl monomer by ring-opening polymerization, wherein more than 0% of the first repeat units comprise a side chain moiety comprising a quaternary amine group; a subunit derived from a monomeric diol initiator for the ring-opening polymerization; and an optional endcap group. The biodegradable cationic polymers have low cytotoxicity and form complexes with biologically active materials useful in gene therapeutics and drug delivery.
摘要:
Block polymers are formed by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of a cyclic carbonate monomer using a polymeric initiator for the ROP that comprises repeating functionalized ethylene units. The block polymers are free of, or substantially free of, any polymer having a chemical structure that does not comprise the polymer backbone of the polymeric initiator. The block polymers are capable of directed self-assembly.

Antimicrobial cationic polymers having one or two cationic polycarbonate chains were prepared by organocatalyzed ring opening polymerization. One antimicrobial cationic polymer has a polymer chain consisting essentially of cationic carbonate repeat units linked to one or two end groups. The end groups can comprise a covalently bound form of biologically active compound such as cholesterol. Other antimicrobial cationic polymers have a random copolycarbonate chain comprising a minor mole fraction of hydrophobic repeat units bearing a covalently bound form of a vitamin E and/or vitamin D2. The cationic polymers exhibit high activity and selectivity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive microbes and fungi.
摘要:
A high molecular weight polycarbonate resin is continuously produced by subjecting an aromatic polycarbonate prepolymer and an aliphatic diol compound to a linking and highly polymerizing reaction. Even an aliphatic diol compound having a comparatively low boiling point can be allowed to efficiently contribute to the linking and highly polymerizing reaction. An aromatic polycarbonate prepolymer is produced by a polycondensation reaction between an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a diester carbonate, adding an aliphatic diol compound having an aliphatic group bonding to a terminal hydroxyl group to obtain a prepolymer mixture, and subjecting the resulting prepolymer mixture to a linking and highly polymerizing reaction under reduced pressure. The aliphatic diol compound is added at a pressure exceeding 200 torr, and the prepolymer mixture is subjected to a linking and highly polymerizing reaction before the terminal hydroxyl group concentration of the aromatic polycarbonate prepolymer in the prepolymer mixture reaches 2000 ppm.
摘要:
Eight-membered ring cyclic carbonates having an oxygen or an acylated nitrogen at position 6 were prepared by reaction of precursor diols with ethyl chloroformate. The cyclic carbonates undergo organocatalyzed ring opening polymerization. In one instance, the initial polymer formed comprises a carbonate repeat unit having a Boc-protected nitrogen in the polymer backbone. Deprotecting the nitrogen with acid forms a cationic carbonate repeat unit having a positive charged secondary ammonium nitrogen in the polymer backbone.
