Insights into the pre-initiation events of bacteriophage 06 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase: towards the assembly of a productive binary complex
(Oxford Univ Press, 2009)The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses performs both RNA replication and transcription. In order to initiate RNA polymerization, viral RdRPs must be able to interact with the incoming ... -
Study the effect of alkyl substitution of monomers on properties of polyesters
(North-West University, 2015)This study concerned the synthesis of modified terephthalic acid monomers and branched dialcohols for the synthesis of polyesters with different properties. Monomers were prepared by esterification of terephthalic acid ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of high performance flocculants and superabsorbents from chemically modified starch and glycerol
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)Superabsorbent polymers from chemically modified starch and glycerol have been prepared by acryloylation of starch followed by grafting with acrylic acid (AA) using Fenton’s initiation system (Fe2+/ H2O2). Fourier-transform ...
