the interaction between isatin-β-thiosemicarbazone (ibt) and calf thymus dna (ct-dna) was investigated in physiological buffer (ph 7.4) using neutral red (nr) dye as a spectral probe by uv–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as viscosity measurements. the ibt is stabilized by intercalation in the dna ( k [ibt –dna] =1.03×105 m−1), and displaces the nr dye from the nr–dna comple...

The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide has been determined at 298 K by means of combustion calorimetry, while the enthalpy of vaporization and the mass spectrum of the vapor (ion pairs) have been determined by temperature-programmed desorption and line of sight mass spectrometry. Ab initio calculations for 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidi...

Flow microcalorimetric titrations of calmodulin with seminalplasmin at 25 degrees C revealed that the high affinity one-to-one complex in the presence of Ca2+ (Comte, M., Malnoe, A., and Cox, J. A. (1986) Biochem. J. 240, 567-573) is entirely enthalpy-driven (delta H0 = -50 kJ.mol-1; delta S0 = O J.K-1.mol-1; delta Cp0 = O J.K-1.mol-1) and is not influenced by the proton or Mg2+ concentration. ...

Thermal unfolding curves have been measured for a series of short alanine-based peptides that contain repeating sequences and varying chain lengths. Standard helix-coil theory successfully fits the observed transition curves, even for these short peptides. The results provide values for sigma, the helix nucleation constant, delta H0, the enthalpy change on helix formation, and for s (0 degree C...

Shale gas is a major component of the hydrocarbon economy, and there are abundant studies in related exploration exploitation fields using simulations experiments. In this paper, kinetic processes adsorption displacement during shale analyzed enthalpy-driven entropy-driven with molecular dynamics statistical mechanics analyses. First, changes symmetry CH 4 CO 2 adsorbed on graphene surface anal...
