multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid.

The nonmutated form of DMPK functions in the production of protein kinase serine; this enzyme plays a role in intracellular communication and in the regulation of myosin phosphate. When DMPK is mutated‚ the proteins CUG-BP1‚ MBNL1 and INSR are displaced causing the splicing of troponin pre-mRNA which causes malfunctions in the cardiac conduction system‚ dominance of a chloride channel that causes myotonia‚ dominance of an insulin receptor that affects the sufficiency of insulin‚ and dominance of
