Objective(s): The interaction of DNA with iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was studied to find out the interaction mechanism and design new drug delivery systems. Materials and Methods: The interaction of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) with SPIONs doped with 2H-chromene via dopamine as cross linker (SPIONs@DA-Chr) was studied using the UV absorption spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, circular dichr...

new two nano- sized schiff base complexes [m(l)], where l= 2, 2'-((1e, 1e')-(1, 2 phenylen bis (azanylylidene)) bis (methanylylidene)) bis (4-bromo phenolato) and m=cu or zn, (a, b complexes) were synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation. these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, ft-ir, fluorescence emission, 1h nmr, field emission scanning electron sp...

The main purposes of this study were to select a photochromic dye and to develop an active welding filter with a photochromic layer. A series of functionalized spirobenzopyranoindolins were synthesized and their photophysical and photochemical properties were investigated in a solution using absorption and emission spectroscopy. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements were used to ...

Recent fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of the turnover time distribution of single-enzyme turnover kinetics of β-galactosidase provide evidence of Michaelis-Menten kinetics at low substrate concentration. However, at high substrate concentrations, the dimensionless variance of the turnover time distribution shows systematic deviations from the Michaelis-Menten prediction. This difference...

Europium (Eu) doped ZnO microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. Effects of different concentrations of Europium on structural and optical properties of ZnO nano-sheets were investigated in detail. Prepared un-doped and Eu-doped ZnO samples were characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron micro...

Objective(s): Crocin, as the main carotenoid of saffron, has shown anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. Crocin might interact with cellular proteins and modulate their functions, but the exact target of this carotenoid and the other compounds of the saffron have not been discovered yet. Microtubular proteins, as one of the most important proteins inside the cells, have several functio...

Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...

Dynamics and energetics for intramolecular excimer formation of a diarylsilane, di-9H-fluoren-9-yldimethylsilane (DFYDMS) have been investigated by means of ps time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and ab initio calculation. Multiple fluorescence decay curves were globally deconvolved to generate time-resolved fluorescence spectra and decay-associated spectra (DAS), from which species-associa...
