unusual facts about amine



Amide group

Peptide bond, a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amine group of the other molecule

Amine and Hamza M'raihi

Amine and Hamza have performed in many prestigious scenes all over the world, including the Arab World Institute in Paris, the BBC, the Medina Theatre in Beirut and the Cairo Opera house.

Biocatalysis

Another study demonstrates how racemic nicotine (mixture of S and R-enantiomers 1 in scheme 3) can be deracemized in a one-pot procedure involving a monoamine oxidase isolated from Aspergillus niger which is able to oxidize only the amine S-enantiomer to the imine 2 and involving an ammoniaborane reducing couple which can reduce the imine 2 back to the amine 1.

E-4 process

The process is infamous for its use of the highly toxic reversal agent Tertiary Butyl-Amine Borane (TBAB) (not to be jumbled with Tetra-n-butylammonium bromide which also has TBAB abbr.) – as of all boron hydrides.

Embalming chemicals

Formaldehyde fixes tissue or cells by irreversibly connecting a primary amine group in a protein molecule with a nearby nitrogen in a protein or DNA molecule through a -CH2- linkage called a Schiff base.

HPAO

AOC3, Amine oxidase, copper containing 3 (vascular adhesion protein 1)

Jakokoyak

It contains tales about an abandoned Ukrainian city (Prypiat), the first dog in space (Laika), Yuri Gagarin’s very own postcode (Moscow 705) and a private seaside in Sweden (Amine).

MDEA

Methyl diethanolamine (N-methyl-diethanolamine), CH3N (C2H4OH)2, a chemical used for amine gas treating, also known as gas sweetening or acid gas removal, the removal of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide from gases in the petrochemical industry

Organic base

Phosphazene bases also contain phosphorus and are, in general, more alkaline than standard amines and nitrogen-based heterocyclics.

PRNP

Signal sequences in the amino- and carboxy- terminal ends are removed posttranslationally, resulting in a mature length of 208.
