Synthesis, Crystal Structure, DFT Studies, Docking Studies, and Fluorescent Properties of 2-(Adamantan-1-yl)-2H-isoindole-1-carbonitrile
(MDPI, 2019)
2-(Adamantan-1-yl)-2H-isoindole-1-carbonitrile (1) has been identified as a neurobiological fluorescent ligand that may be used to develop receptor and enzyme binding affinity assays. Compound 1 was synthesized using an ...
Structural analysis, molecular modelling and preliminary competition bnding studies of AM-DAN as a NMDA Receptor PCP-Site Fluorescent Ligand
(MDPI, 2019)
Excitotoxicity related to the dysfunction of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)
has been indicated to play an integral role in the pathophysiology of multiple disease states, including
neurodegenerative disorders ...
Leopard tortoises in southern Africa have greater genetic diversity in the north than in the south (Testudinidae)
(Wiley, 2018)
In contrast to mammals, little is known about the phylogeographic structuring of widely distributed African reptile species. With the present study, we contribute data for the leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis). It ...
The effects of silver nanoparticles on RAW 264.7. Macrophages and human whole blood cell cultures
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are commonly found in consumer products due to their antimicrobial properties. This study evaluated the effects of AgNPs on the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 and human whole blood cell ...
Evolution of the chemical composition of Sn thin films heated during x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(2019)
High-vacuum XPS have been used to analyse the surface modification of a 3 nm-thick Sn thin film on Si (100) before and after annealing up to 450 °C. Increasing the XPS stage temperature led to a reduction in the amount of ...
SCUBA-2 observations of candidate starbursting protoclusters selected by Planck and Herschel-SPIRE
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2019)
We present SCUBA-2 850 μm observations of 13 candidate starbursting protoclusters selected using Planck and Herschel data. The cumulative number counts of the 850 μm sources in 9 of 13 of these candidate protoclusters show ...
HELP: a catalogue of 170 million objects, selected at 0.36–4.5 μm, from 1270 deg2 of prime extragalactic fields
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
We present an optical to near-infrared (NIR) selected astronomical catalogue covering 1270 deg2. This is the first attempt to systematically combine data from 23 of the premier extragalactic survey fields – the product of ...
Predicting Shifts in the geographical distribution of two estuarine plant species from the subtropical and temperate regions of South Africa
(Springer, 2019-11-21)
Climate suitability maps are useful to determine changes in the distribution of species. The aim of this study was to predict the future distribution of two estuarine species (Bassia diffusa and Hibiscus tiliaceus) from ...
Multifilter time-series observations of three short period ATLAS variable stars
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09)
The ‘Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System’ discovered hundreds of thousands of new
candidate variable stars. Follow-up observations of three of these are reported in this paper.
The targets were selected on the ...
A post-market quality assessment of first-line, fixed-dose combination antiretrovirals in South Africa
(Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, 2019)
South Africa has the world’s largest antiretroviral (ARV) program and despite having stringent upstream medicine’s
regulatory oversight, the post-market reassessment of ARV quality is prohibitively resource intensive. The ...
