This article presents SOMCD, an improved method for the evaluation of protein secondary structure from circular dichroism spectra, based on Kohonen's self-organizing maps (SOM). Protein circular dichroism (CD) spectra are used to train a SOM, which arranges the spectra on a two-dimensional map. Location in the map reflects the secondary structure composition of a protein. With SOMCD, the predic...

By generating a composition gradient on a highly uniform SERS substrate and applying independent component analysis, we demonstrate that one can extract the intrinsic SERS spectrum of individual components from SERS spectra obtained from a two-component mixture.

Liposomal circular dichroism (L-CD) of acyclic amino alcohols exhibit amplification of Cotton effects when measured in highly uniform, unilamellar liposomes. The effect is likely due to intermolecular associations-H-aggregates-that self-assemble spontaneously within the lipid bilayer, and persists over long time scales. L-CD spectra of N,O,O'-tri-(6'methoxy-2'-naphthoyl)-d-erythro-sphingosine, ...

We experimentally investigate the noise properties of picosecond supercontinuum spectra generated at different power levels in uniform and tapered photonic crystal fibers. We show that the noise at the spectral edges of the generated supercontinuum is at a constant level independent on the pump power in both tapered and uniform fibers. At high input power the spectral bandwidth is limited by th...

This application note demonstrates non-uniform sampling (NUS) acquisition and processing for routine measurement of 2D NMR spectra using tools in Agilent VnmrJ 4 software. It shows that NUS techniques can be applied easily and reliably to small molecule NMR measurements, yielding 2D spectra with comparable digital resolution to those obtained by traditional linear sampling methods, typically wi...

the coupling of tetrazotised 1,8-diaminonaphthalene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds [acetylacetone,methylacetoacetate and acetoacetanilide] yielded a new series of tetradentate ligand systems. analytical, ir,1h nmr and mass spectral data indicate that the compounds exist in the intramolecularly hydrogen bondeddihydrazone form. dibasic tetradentate n2o2 coordination of these compounds in their [ml...

Determining the earthquake hazard of any settlement is one primary studies for reducing damage. Therefore, maps used this purpose must be renewed over time. Turkey Earthquake Hazard Map has been instead Zones since 2019. A probabilistic seismic was performed by using these last two and different attenuation relationships Bitlis Province (Eastern Turkey) were located in Lake Van Basin, which a h...

lta zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. the as-synthesized lta zeolite particles were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, energy di...

Two-dimensional covariance (COV2D) spectroscopy offers an alternative approach to 2D Fourier transformation (FT2D) to obtain homo-nuclear correlation NMR spectra. Considerable saving in experimental time, without loss of resolution, can be achieved by incorporating COV2D with: (i) uniform sampling with a t1 cut-off (CUO) or non-uniform sampling (NUS), and (ii) constant or Gaussian accumulation ...
