Cyclobutadiene and benzocyclobutenes fused to o- and p-quinone have been studied by computational methods. Geometries were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G* level, and absolute NMR shielding values were calculated using the GIAO method with the HF/6-31G* basis set. NICS values of the compounds 8b,c and 9b,c indicate strong antiaromatic character for cyclobutadiene units. However, 8a and 9a show negative NICS values where the quinodal system reduces the antiaromaticity significantly by forcing these systems to possess a dimethylene-like structure. The calculated 13C NMR chemical shifts of 6−9 and parent systems are in very good agreement with literature values.

Theoretical investigation of melatonin and its hydroxy isomers Erkoc, A; Erkoc, F; Keskin, N (Elsevier BV, 2002-07-05) The structural and electronic properties of melatonin and its six hydroxy isomers have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital theory calculations. The geometry of the systems has been optimized considering the semi-empirical molecular orbital theory at the level of AM I, and the electronic properties of the systems have been calculated by ab initio RHF including full MP2 correlation correction in their ground state. Conclusions were drawn by comparing wi...
Theoretical study of tetramethyl- and tetra-tert-butyl-substituted cyclobutadiene and tetrahedrane Balcı, Metin; McKee, ML; Schleyer, PV (2000-02-17) The tetramethyl and tetra-tert-butyl derivatives of cyclobutadiene and tetrahedrane have been studied with ab initio and density functional methods. The ring in tetra-tert-butylcyclobutadiene displays very unequal bond lengths (1.354, 1.608 Angstrom) and confirms the earlier suspicion that the low-temperature X-ray structure was distorted. The C-C single bonds have the longest separations found to date between sp(2)-hybridized carbons. Tetra-rert-butyltetrahedrane, which prefers T over Td symmetry, is calcu...
Differential expressions and functions of phosphodiesterase enzymes in different regions of the rat heart DERİCİ, MEHMET KÜRŞAT; SADİ, GÖKHAN; Cenik, Basar; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; DEMİREL YILMAZ, EMİNE (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-05) Phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDEs) are responsible for the adjustment of cyclic nucleotide levels. Alterations in PDE expressions in different tissues cause conflicts between functional and clinical effects of PDE inhibitors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the gene and protein expressions and the functional role of PDEs in atrium and ventricle of rat heart The expressions of PDEs were examined in cardiac intact tissues and enzymatically isolated cells. The effects of PDE1-5 inhibitors (vi...
THE INFLUENCE OF WATER ON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF 3-ACYLPYRROLES VOIGT, M; ROHDE, N; HALLENSLEBEN, ML; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 1993-03-22) Several poly(3-acylpyrrole)s have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of some common impurities like water and cyanide present in the solvent-electrolyte system on the redox behavior of the polymer films were emphasized. Due to the presence of such impurities we have also observed changes in the macroscopic properties of the films such as their electrical conductivities. There is enough evidence that the amount of such impurities can be correlated to the degree of the so called overoxidation p...
Automated Negative Gene Ontology Based Functional Predictions for Proteins with UniGOPred Doğan, Tunca; Rifaioğlu, Ahmet Süreyya; Saidi, Rabi; Martin, Maria Jesus; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (2018-07-07) Functional annotation of biomolecules in the gene and protein databases is mostly incomplete. This is especially valid for multi-domain proteins. There is a grey area in the protein function data resources, where the truly negative functions and the ones possessed by the protein but have not been discovered or documented yet (i.e. false negatives), reside together. In many cases the information about the functions absent from the target biomolecule can be as important as the assigned functions. It’s possibl...
