The disclosure relates to labeling glycans and glycosphingolipids from undefined mixtures with chemical moieties that emit light when exposed to electromagnetic radiation and uses of these labeled glycans and glycosphingolipids in microarrays for research and diagnostic purposes. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to derivatizing glycosphingolipids with a marker.

Constructs having membrane proteins stabilized by functionalized beta-sheet peptides are provided. The constructs can be associated with or covalently linked to supports. The support can be a membrane. The membrane can be used to selectively move desired particles from one side of the membrane to the other while impeding passage of undesired particles through the membrane. Methods of making and using such constructs and membranes are provided.

The invention particularly describes a new bacterial cellulose supported tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride complex [NBu4(Bac-Cell-OH)F] which is stable and non-hygroscopic. The invention further relates to a process for fluorination using the [NBu4(Bac-Cell-OH)F] complex.

Biotin derivatives, methods of using the biotin derivatives and kits comprising the biotin derivatives.

The solid composite stabilizer for PCE includes the following components in parts by weight: 10 to 30 parts of a phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin, 50 to 80 parts of a basic anion-exchange resin, and 50 to 100 parts of a desiccating agent. The phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin is chloromethylated macroporous polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) substituted by a phenolic compound; and the basic anion-exchange resin is chloromethylated macroporous PS-DVB substituted by an amine compound. The preparation method includes the following step: thoroughly mixing the phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin, the basic anion-exchange resin, and the desiccating agent in a specified ratio to obtain the solid composite stabilizer for PCE. The solid composite stabilizer for PCE is packaged in a glass fiber bag and placed in PCE for storage and use.

The invention provides macromolecule-supported compounds of Formula I comprising a macromolecular support linked by conjugation to one or more thienoazepine derivatives. The invention also provides thienoazepine derivative intermediate compositions comprising a reactive functional group. Such intermediate compositions are suitable substrates for formation of the macromolecule-supported compounds through a linker or linking moiety. The invention further provides methods of treating cancer with the macromolecule-supported compounds.

Disclosed is a salt form of an isoquinolinone type compound as a ROCK protein kinase inhibitor and a preparation method therefor, and use of the salt form in the preparation of a medicament for treating glaucoma or ocular hypertension is further included.

Processes for converting a hydrocarbon reactant into an alcohol compound and/or a carbonyl compound are disclosed in which the hydrocarbon reactant and either a supported chromium (VI) catalyst or a supported chromium (II) catalyst are contacted, optionally with UV-visible light irradiation, followed by exposure to an oxidizing atmosphere and then hydrolysis to form a reaction product containing the alcohol compound and/or the carbonyl compound. The presence of oxygen significant increases the amount of alcohol/carbonyl product formed, as well as the formation of oxygenated dimers and trimers of certain hydrocarbon reactants.
