Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Mono and hetero binuclear cryptates, [Gd(III)ML]^+ [M = VO(IV), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)], were synthesized by a 2-step method. The ligand L represents the deprotonated anionic cryptate obtained by the 2+3 condensation of tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine with 2,6-diformyl-4-nitrophenol. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral, magnetic, and electrochemical studies. Fluorescence of Gd(III) ion in the cavity was quenched by the encapsulated Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions. [GdCoL(NO_3)]^+ cryptate had a high lifetime value compared to other cryptates. The cyclic voltammogram showed that the reduction potential values of [Gd(M)L] M = VO(IV), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes were in the following order: Cu(II) > Ni(II) …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Codeine is an opium alkaloid with a great potential of abuse among opioid consumers. Detection of codeine is a routine procedure in the military and government of some countries for personnel recruitment. Therefore, a specific, selective, and easy to use method would be an important improvement in such detection procedures. According to previous reports, short single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences with high affinity and specificity to their targets, aptamers, could be used for designing an accurate and specific biosensor for codeine. This study introduces an aptamer-based biosensor for codeine detection in nanomolar concentrations by an electrochemical method, and ferrocene carboxylic …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Two novel C_2-symmetric chiral diamines containing \alpha -phenylethyl and \alpha -(1-naphthyl)ethyl chiral subunits were prepared with quantitative yields. Enantiomeric recognition properties of these simple structured diamine ligands towards D- and L-amino acid esters and D- and L-mandelic acid were examined by the ^1H NMR titration method. These ligands exhibited strong complexation (with K_f up to 2481 M^{-1}) and good enantioselectivity (up to K_L/K_D = 4.08) towards the mandelic acid enantiomers. The results show that simple structured and easily accessible acyclic C_2-symmetrical compounds can also be used for enantiomeric recognition of racemic amino acids and mandelic acid in addition to complex …

Exploring Distinct Binding Site Regions Of \Beta_2-Adrenergic Receptor Via Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Si̇bel Çakan, Ebru Demet Akdoğan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

\beta_2-Adrenergic receptor (\beta_2AR) is a G protein- coupled receptor that is highly flexible and able to recognize a wide range of ligands through its conformational variations. Active and inactive conformations revealed by recent crystallographic experiments do not provide a complete dynamic picture of the receptor, especially in the binding site. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation through a residue-based coarse-grained model is used as an alternative and efficient method to explore a wider conformational search space. The system was composed of \beta_2AR embedded into a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine membrane bilayer with surrounding water. A total of 6 \mu s of simulation …

Quasielastic Light Scattering Studies Of Polypeptides: Evidence For Chain Extension In Solution, Mehmet Bahatti̇n Baysal, Çi̇ğdem Karadağ

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Dynamic light scattering and viscosimetric methods were used to study polypeptides including polyleucine, poly (\gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate), poly (\alpha-L-glutamic acid), and polyproline II. Chain extension showing rod-like and flexible conformations occurred in poly(\gamma -benzyl-L-glutamate) and polyproline II solutions as these solutions were diluted in glacial acetic acid or in a mixed solvent of acetic acid and dichloromethane. The elongation of chains in poly(\gamma -benzyl-L-glutamate) and polyproline II solutions was studied by dynamic light scattering and viscosimetric methods. This nonenzymatic growth of peptide chains provides data on primordial synthesis of protein molecules in the absence of cell machinery and for this reason these …

Dft Study Of Tautomerism In Aklavinone, Burhan Lemi̇ Türker Jan 2013

Dft Study Of Tautomerism In Aklavinone, Burhan Lemi̇ Türker

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Aklavinone has an anthraquinone-based chromophore and its backbone highly resembles the kernel of some anthracycline antibiotics that possess anticancer activity, e.g., daunomycin. Since aklavinone's structure possesses many --OH groups and 2 keto groups, it is quite probable that certain tautomeric equilibria may occur. Presently, aklavinone prototropic tautomers possessing embedded anthraquinone moiety have been investigated quantum chemically by using density functional theory at the levels of RB3LYP/6-31G(d) and RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p). Additionally, IR spectra of the tautomers were calculated. Moreover, the phenolate ions obtained from the most stable tautomer in water were considered, and the protonation of this tautomer at various possible sites …

Synthesis Of Fused Tetrazolone Derivatives, Sevi̇l Özcan, Zeynep Ekmekçi̇, Berk Müjde, Meti̇n Balci Jan 2013

Synthesis Of Fused Tetrazolone Derivatives, Sevi̇l Özcan, Zeynep Ekmekçi̇, Berk Müjde, Meti̇n Balci

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

New fused tetrazolone derivatives were synthesized using homophthalic and maleic anhydrides. Treatment of anhydrides with trimethylsilyl azide opened the lactone rings and formed the corresponding intermediates, which bore 1,3-dipole and dipolarophile functionalities in ortho positions. The intermediates partially underwent internal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to produce fused tetrazolone derivatives. When the carbonyl groups in anhydride were not conjugated with any double bond, then a triazine-fused tetrazolone derivative was formed.

With glucose as the starting material, sodium tripolyphosphate as the phosphorus acylating agent, and urea as the catalyst, glucose 1-phosphate was synthesized and its properties were analyzed. The synthesis conditions were selected according to the phosphorus content and optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM), based on a 3-level, 3-variable Box--Behnken experimental design. The results showed that the phosphorus content of glucose 1-phosphate was 8.12% using a reaction temperature of 70 °C, a molar ratio of glucose to sodium tripolyphosphate of 1.54:1, and catalyst amount of 3.7 g. It coincided well with the experimental value (8.34%). The structure of the …
