Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge Jan 2005

Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Voltammetric, UV-vis spectroscopic and viscometric methods were used to investigate the interaction between norepinephrine and DNA. The results of square wave voltammetric and UV-absorption measurements have shown that norepinephrine was bound to DNA. Besides the electrostatic interaction between DNA and norepinephrine, hydrogen bonds and intercalation may also exist. Viscosity measurements also suggest that NE is bound to DNA via an electrostatic mode of interaction at lower norepinephrine concentrations. However, at higher concentrations of norpinephrine, the increase in the relative viscosity of DNA indicated that the intercalation is also involved in the binding. The binding constant and the binding site size …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The equilibrium sorption isotherms of 3 reactive dyes (C. I. Reactive Yellow 84, C. I. Reactive Red 141, C. I. Reactive Blue 160) and their binary mixtures adsorbed on prewetted wool fiber were investigated. The kinetic studies were carried out at pH \le 7 and 80 °C in dye solutions containing 20 g/L NaCl. It was reported that binary mixtures of these reactive dyes have lower sorption values than the dyes alone, at the same dye concentration, pH and temperature. The isotherms obtained are Langmuir type. The rate parameters of adsorption kinetics decrease with increasing dye concentration.
