Production Of An E. Coli Toxin Protein; Colicin A In E. Coli Using An Inducible System, İsa Gökçe, Jeremy H. Lakey Jan 2003

Production Of An E. Coli Toxin Protein; Colicin A In E. Coli Using An Inducible System, İsa Gökçe, Jeremy H. Lakey

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Colicins are bacterial toxins that kill Escherichia coli and related cells; their mode of action is of interest in protein import and toxicology. Colicins translocate across the E. coli outer membrane and periplasm by interacting with several receptors. This translocation process involves interaction of the colicin with the outer membrane porin OmpF and subsequently with the integral membrane protein TolA. The N-terminal domain of colicin N is involved in the import process. Our aim was to produce a large quantity of colicin A for functional and structural studies. It is a prerequisite to have a correctly folded and stable protein …

Simultaneous Determination Of Copper, Zinc And Selenium In Chicken Liver By Differential Pulse Polarography, Güler Ekmekci̇, Güler Somer, Olcay Şendi̇l Jan 2003

Simultaneous Determination Of Copper, Zinc And Selenium In Chicken Liver By Differential Pulse Polarography, Güler Ekmekci̇, Güler Somer, Olcay Şendi̇l

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A differential pulse polarographic method for the determination of copper, zinc and selenium in chicken liver is described. It was possible to determine these elements in a single sample solution after acid digestion. Dried liver samples weighing about 3 g were digested using HNO_{3} and HClO_{4} acids. Britton-Robinson or acetate buffer has been found suitable as the supporting electrolyte. For the determination of selenium, the hydrogen catalytic peak was used after the addition of molybdenum(VI) to the buffer solution at about pH 3. Then the pH of the same solution was increased to 4 and zinc was determined. For the …

Effect Of Polyoxyethylene Chain Length And Electrolyte On The Viscosity Of Mixed Micelles, Hali̇de Akbaş, Tali̇ha Si̇di̇m, Mehmet İşcan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The viscosity measurements of micelles composed of mixtures of anionic/nonionic surfactants were carried out as a function of the mole fraction of surfactants. The systems studied were sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (C_{12}POE_{n} n = 4, 10 and 23) in water and 0.1 M sodium chloride solution. In the single systems, the relative viscosity of nonionic surfactant is greater than that of SDS, and increases with the increasing level of ethylene oxide.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method for the indirect determination of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) was proposed. The method is based on precipitating the ion associate complex of SHAM with [Cu (NH_{3})_{4}]^{2+}. The excess, unreacted, Cu^{2+} ions were determined using AAS. Another spectrophotometric method based on measuring the absorbance of the formed [Cu (NH_{3})_{4}]-SHAM complex in dioxane was proposed. The green color of the complex formed was measured at 330 nm. The two methods were successfully used for determining SHAM in its pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Using AAS, the drug was determined over a concentration range of 3.06 …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of trans-1,4-polychloroprene have been recorded in the range of 4000-400 and 3500-100 cm^{-1}, respectively. In the present investigation, detailed assignments of the observed fundamental bands of trans-1,4-polychloroprene were analysed in terms of peak positions and relative intensities. In the hope of providing more effective information on the fundamental vibrations, a normal coordinate analysis was performed on trans-1,4-polychloroprene, by assuming C_{S} symmetry.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

For survival, living cells maintain their thiol redox status within acceptable limits by three different mechanisms: i. glutathione disulfide export, ii. reduction of glutathione disulfide by pentose phosphate pathway and, iii. reduction of glutathione disulfide by Protein-SH. To assess the relative contribution of each one of the systems, intracellular [glutathione], [glutathione disulfide] and their export, in fresh and aged erythrocytes subjected to oxidative stress, in \pm glucose and \pm antioxidants, were measured. Glutathione was rapidly oxidized by tert-butylhydroperoxide in \pm glucose in both groups. The regeneration of glutathione, in both groups, in \pm glucose was about 100 and 50%, respectively. …

A Novel, Semi-Pilot Scale Electrolysis System For The Production Of P-Aminophenol, Kamran Polat

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and preparative electrolysis techniques were used to investigate the reduction of nitrobenzene into (NB) p-aminophenol (p-Ap). The electrodes used in CV experiments were glassy carbon (GC), TiO_{2}/Ti, Sn and Pb. The preparative electrolyses were carried out by the use of Pb, Sn, carbon cloth and TiO_{2}/Ti electrodes. The CV data were evaluated according to Nicholson-Shain criteria, and it was deduced that the reductions on TiO_{2}/Ti and GC electrodes were irreversible and monitored by an electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical mechanism. No reduction peak was observed with Sn and Pb electrodes. Preparative electrolyses were carried out under current-controlled conditions in the presence …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Kinetic studies of the oxidation of L-isoleucine (ISL) and L-ornithine hydrochloride (ORH) by sodium N-bromobenzenesulphonamide (bromamine-B or BAB) were studied in aqueous perchloric acid medium. The rate shows first-order dependence on both [BAB]_0 and [amino acid]_0 and inverse first-order dependence on [H^+] for ISL and first-order dependence on [H^+] for ORH. The rate of reaction decreased with decreases in the dielectric constant of the medium. The addition of benzenesulphonamide (BSA), which is one of the reaction products, had no significant effect on the reaction rate. The rate remained unchanged with the variation in the ionic strength of the medium for …

Effects Of Sucrose Concentration During Citric Acid Accumulation By Aspergillus Niger, Ayşegül Peksel, Cristian P. Kubicek Jan 2003

Effects Of Sucrose Concentration During Citric Acid Accumulation By Aspergillus Niger, Ayşegül Peksel, Cristian P. Kubicek

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A number of regulatory mechanisms are involved in increasing citric acid production under certain conditions. The accumulation of citric acid takes place under the high concentration of carbon sources. The effect of sucrose as a carbon source on the accumulation of citric acid and tyrosine phosphorylated proteins during high glycolytic conditions was investigated using Aspergillus niger ATCC 11414. When mycelia are treated by different sucrose concentrations, a protein of \sim 27 kDa becomes tyrosine phosphorylated. This tyrosine phosphorylation takes place in response to signal transduction from the extracellular milieu. A possible role of this \sim 27 kDa protein in signal …

Cerimetric Determination Of Propranolol In Bulk Drug Form And In Tablets, Kanakapura Basavaiah, Umakanthappa Chandrashekar, H. Chandrashekar Prameela

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Two simple, accurate and precise methods are described for the determination of propranolol hydrochloride with cerium(IV) sulphate. The titrimetric method is based on the oxidation of the drug by a known excess amount of cerium(IV) sulphate and back titration of the unconsumed oxidant with ammonium ferrous sulphate. In the spectrophotometric method, the unreacted cerium(IV) sulphate is treated with iron(II) sulphate, and the iron(III) sulphate produced is complexed with thiocyanate and measured at 480 nm, thereby permitting the determination of the amount of unreacted cerium(IV) sulphate. In both procedures, the amount of the reacted oxidant corresponds to the drug content. Different …
