The principles of a method are outlined whereby one can determine the partial specific volume of a solute, V?, by means of measurements of dn/dc using a suitable pair of equations and a simple graphical interpolation procedure. The method yields V? data which compare well with densitometrically obtained V? data if the polarizability of both solvent and solute molecules is unaffected by the solution process. It is tested successfully on solutions of polystyrene in various solvents. The method appears to be particularly attractive for measurements of the change of V? with temperature and also for conveniently following the time rate of changes in - such as during the coil → helix transition. 相似文献
Oleuropein, a secoiridoid glycoside extracted from the olive tree, Olea europaea L., has been described as showing antibacterial properties. However, the exact mechanism of these antimicrobial properties
is not yet well understood. In the present study, we have studied the interaction of oleuropein with phosphatidylglycerol
(PG) as a model membrane for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (Gram-positive bacteria) and phosphatidylethanolamine and Escherichia coli (E. coli) lipid extract as a model membrane for E. coli (Gram-negative bacteria). The study has been carried out using monolayers as model membranes and using kinetics at constant
area and compression isotherms with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) observations. The results show that oleuropein interacts
in higher extent with PG monolayers, which is related with its stronger antibacterial effect against Gram-positive bacteria.
The effects on the membrane are probably produced at the cell surface because oleuropein did not form stable mixed monolayers
with the lipids assayed at the air/water interface. 相似文献
The theory of radiative transitions, in centrosymmetric complexes, is examined in great detail, within the framework of the crystal field method.In connection with radiative transitions, the current method of calculations, with and without invoking closure approximation, are considered from a purely theoretical point of view, by taking advantage of the irreducible tensor method put forward by Griffith.Explicit equations are derived throughout the course of this work to account for the vibronic electric dipole moments, associated with d-d and f-f type of excitations.At high Academy of Pedagogic Sciences, Santiago, Chile. 相似文献
The relationship between the 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts and the dihedral energies (non-bonding interactions) of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane, 1,4-dioxa- and 6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, 1,4-dioxa- and 6,11-dioxaspiro[4.6]undecane, 1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 1,5-dioxa and 7,12-dioxaspiro[5.6]dodecane and 1,6-dioxaspiro[6.6]tridecane were analyzed. These data showed correlation of the non-bonding interactions with the chemical shift of the spiranic carbon, as well as a linear relationship between 13C and 17O. 相似文献
This work presents a comparative study between two different methods for the preparation of mediator-modified screen-printed electrodes, to be used as detectors in a reliable flow injection system for the determination of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) coenzyme. The best strategy was selected for the final development of compact biosensors based on dehydrogenase enzymes. For the first immobilisation strategy, different redox mediators were electropolymerised onto the SPE surface. The second immobilisation strategy was carried out using polysulfone–graphite composites, which were deposited by screen-printing technology onto the screen-printed electrode (SPE) surface. Both methods achieved an effective and reliable incorporation of redox mediators to the SPE configuration. Finally, a flow system for ammonium determination was developed using a glutamate dehydrogenase (GlDH)-Meldola's Blue (MB)-polysulfone-composite film-based biosensor.
The stability of the redox mediators inside the composite films as well as the negligible fouling effect observed on the electrode surface improve the repeatability and reproducibility of the sensors, important features for continuous analysis in flow systems. Furthermore, the optimised bio/sensors, incorporated in a flow injection system, showed good sensitivities and short response times. Such a good analytical performance together with the simple and fast sensor construction are interesting characteristics to consider the polysulfone-composite films as attractive electrochemical transducer materials for the development of new dehydrogenase-based SPEs. 相似文献
The energy states of tetrameric iron clusters with d6-d6-d6-d5 and d5-d5-d5-d6 electronic configurations, which form the metal frameworks of the [Fe4S4]+ and [Fe4S4]3+ iron-sulfur proteins, are calculated using a general approach. It is revealed that the structural distortions of these systems
significantly affect the composition of the magnetic states. The effect of the isotropic Heisenberg exchange is considered.

Providing consistent and objective evaluation of published data on nutrient composition is critical for planning future analytical studies and for effective use of data. Based on a commercial expert system shell, a computer system of approximately 200 rules has been created to evaluate and ratre quantitatively published data on selenium in foods. The evaluation scheme uses five general categories for its rule-making process: number of samples, analytical method, sample handling, sampling plan, and analytical quality control. For each selenium value to be evaluted, rating ar assigned in each category by the expert system based on input which is derived from the information reportedin a given paper. A quality index, which is derived from the ratings, is a measure of the reliability of a given selenium value over all categories for a given study. The concepts used in developing SELEX have the potential of establishing criteria for evaluation of proposed analytical methods prior to their publication. 相似文献
The photocatalyzed [2 + 2 + 2]-cycloaddition of nitriles with 2 equiv of acetylene to 2-pyridines can be carried out under mild conditions and represents a valuable extension to common synthetical methods. For the ideal wavelength range (350-500 nm), lamps as well as sunlight can be used. Working at room temperature and in organic solvents such as toluene or hexane as well as in water gives satisfying results in many cases. However, it is also possible to vary the solvent and the reaction temperature of the photocatalyzed synthesis and to choose, with respect to the specific substrate, specific requirements for this particular reaction and general requirements of the method. This simple and selective method derives its potential mainly from the large variety of applicable nitriles. Suitable substrates include (functionalized) aliphatic and aromatic nitriles as well as cyanamides derived from secondary amines. 相似文献
A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nickel, based on the reduction of a complex formed between molybdophosphoric acid and Ni(II) at pH 4.3 has been developed. Excess of molybdophosphoric acid is eliminated by complexation with sodium citrate. The method is rapid and the system obeys Beer's law up to 5 ppm of Ni(II). The molar absorptivity is 1.30 x 10(3) 1.mole(-1).mm(-1). The technique compares favourably with existing photometric methods for nickel in sensitivity and is reasonably selective. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] The title reactions, in 44 wt % ethanol-water at 25.0 degrees C, exhibit slightly curved Br?nsted-type plots (log kN versus pKa of amines) with slopes beta1 = 0.1-0.44 (at high pKa) and beta2 ca. 0.7 (at low pKa). The magnitude of some of these slopes, together with the fact that the curvature center (pKa(0) = 9.5-10.8) does not change with the electronic effects of the benzoyl substituent, suggests that these reactions are not stepwise, but concerted. 相似文献
