Two-component relativistic time-dependent density functional theory calculations with spin-orbit coupling predict yellow and orange-red absorption for BiPh5 and BiMe5, respectively, providing an excellent explanation for their respective violet and blue-violet colors. According to the calculations, the visible absorption is clearly attributable to a single transition from a ligand-based HOMO to...

Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove the pollutants from waters, especially those that are not easily biodegradable. The removal of crystal violet dye (CVD) from water was studied by using Amberlyst 15, a cation-exchange resin (CER), along with Ferrous (Fe 2+ ) and H2O2 . In this study the main factors that can influence the degradation of crystal violet dye are molar ratio of [(H2O2...

Tyrosinase (o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.1) has been purified from a commercial lyophilized powder prepared from edible mushrooms. Specific activities toward DL-dihydroxyphenylalanine and catechol, homogeneity, molecular weight, absorption spectrum, amino acid composition, and copper content of the preparation are comparable to other purified samples of tyrosinase prepared from fres...

Results with two ultramicro methods for plasma uric acid analysis with uricase are described: a crystal violet (gentian violet) method, modified from an automated procedure by Gochman and Schmitz [C/in. Chem. 17, 1154 (1971)] and adapted to manual analysis, and a polarographic oxygen-sensing system (Beckman Instruments,Inc.).The coefficientof variation (CV) for the crystal violet method varied ...

As a result of its domestication, breeding and subsequent commercialization, African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha H. Wendl.) has become the most famous and popular Saintpaulia species. There is interest in producing cultivars that have increased resistance to pests and low temperature, in the introduction of novel horticultural characteristics such as leaf shape, flower colour, size and form, a...

The present study aims to find a method to reduce Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion to acrylic and silicone--two materials used commonly in medical devices--by heparin and gentian violet surface preconditioning. Different periods of heparin preconditioning are studied to evaluate the influence of preincubation time on the reduction of bacterial adhesion. A two-hour period was chosen and appli...

Rhododendron is one of the largest shrubs and is well known as a garden plant because of their evergreen leaves and various flower colors. The present study investigated the variation in amino acids in the differently colored flowers of Rhododendron schlippenbachii. Analysis of the Rhododendron flowers revealed 22 types of amino acids. The amino acid content varied greatly depending on the diff...
