Photocatalytic Degradation of Triton X-100 by Zinc oxide Nanoparticles
In this study the application of ZnO nanoparticles to UV photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactantTriton X-100 in aqueous media was investigated. The affecting factors on the photodegradation such as TritonX-100 initial concentration, nanocatalyst weight, pH, temperature and other parameters were studied anddescribed in details. The degradation rate was found to be strongly influenced b...
متن کاملA photochemically active particle derived from chloroplasts by the action of the detergent Triton X-100.
Treatment of spinach chloroplasts with 4% Triton X-100 yields fragments which are separable by centrifugation. In the medium used (which is 4% in Triton X-100 and 0.5 M in sucrose) for the initial incubation particles sedimented by centrifugation at 144,000 X g for 1, 3, and 8 hours are relatively inactive in the partial photoreactions representative of photosynthesis. These particles contain a...
متن کاملInteractions of rat brain acetylcholinesterase with the detergent Triton X-100 and the organophosphate paraoxon.
Inhibition of the critical enzyme acetylcholinesterase (E.C. 3.1.1.7) with subsequent cholinergic crisis is the mechanism of acute toxicity of the organophosphorus insecticides (B. E. Mileson et al., 1998, Toxicol. Sci.41, 8-20). Consequently, measurement of acetylcholinesterase activity is important for evaluating the mammalian toxicity of this commonly used class of insecticides. While mammal...
متن کاملKinetic dependence of phospholipase A 2 activity on the detergent Triton X-100.
A kinetic analysis is presented for the dependence of one form of phospholipase A(2) from cobra (Naja naja) venom on the presence of the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 for its activity towards egg phosphatidylcholine and synthetic dipalmitoyl glycerophosphorylcholine as substrates. An automatic recording pH-stat apparatus was employed in order to continuously monitor enzyme activity. The resul...
متن کاملPhotochemical Activities of Spinach Chloroplasts Following Treatment with the Detergent Triton X-100.
A nuinber of detergenits have beeni used to convert chloroplasts inlto smaller complexes for miiore intensive study of the properties of the photosynithetic apparatus (16). In all early series of experiments, Smiiith treated chloroplasts with digitonin, bile salts, sodium deoxycholate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (2325). The first 3 detergents removed and solubilized the chlorophyll wlhile the la...
