Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The bromination of 1-cyclopent-1-en-1-ylbenzene (4) in different solvents and at different temperatures was accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen bromide and yielded 1-(5-bromocyclopent-1-en-1-yl)benzene (8). Further bromination of 8 gave exclusively 2R(S),5R(S)-1-(1,2,5-tribromocyclopentyl)benzene (11). The experimental results were compared with the theoretical ones based on semi-empirical (MM+ and AM1), Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT). The formation of 11 was explained by the formation of a weakly bridged bromoniun ion of type 9.

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 …

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. The simple general valance force field (SGVFF) was employed in normal coordinate analysis and to calculate the potential energy distribution (PED) for each fundamental vibration. The PED contribution corresponding to each of the …

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. …
