This is a review of analytical methods, such as spectrophotometry, derivative spectrophotometry and various chromatographic (gas chromatography-GC, high-performance liquid chromatography-HPLC, thin-layer chromatography-TLC, high-performance thin-layer chromatography-HPTLC, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-LC-MS, microchip electrophoresis-MCE, capillary electrophoresis-CE) and elec...

a chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2cbf) and carbon nanotube (2cbfcnpe) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. the diffusion coefficient (d = 1.42 × 10-6 cm2 s-1), and the kinetic parameter such as the catalytic rate constant (k = ...

One-dimensional iron metallic nanotubes were prepared by electroless deposition within the pores of polycarbonate (PC) membranes. The longitudinal nucleation of the nanotubes along the pore walls was achieved by mounting the PC membrane between two halves of a U-shaped reaction tube. Palladium nanoparticles were post-deposited on the inner wall of the nanotubes. The composition, morphology, and...

Over the past years, DNA biosensors have been developed to analyze DNA interaction and damage that have important applications in biotechnological researches. The immobilization of DNA onto a substrate is one key step for construction of DNA electrochemical biosensors. In this report, a direct approach has been described for immobilization of single strand DNA onto carboxylic acid-functionalize...

BACKGROUND Dopamine is a potent neuromodulator in the brain, influencing a variety of motivated behaviors and involved in several neurologic diseases. Measurements of extracellular dopamine in the brains of experimental animals have traditionally focused on a tonic timescale (minutes to hours). However, dopamine concentrations are now known to fluctuate on a phasic timescale (subseconds to seco...

Potentiostatic, galvanostatic and cyclic potentiodynamic depositions of polyaniline were studied by cyclic voltammetry and in-situ Raman spectroscopy. Multivariate analysis of the spectroelectrochemical data including evolving factor analysis, multivariate curve resolution and 2Dcorrelation spectroscopy was applied to resolve overlapped bands in Raman spectra and to assign them reliably. Oxidiz...

     Clinical and Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and other related disorders. These beneficial health effects have been attributed in part to the presence of antioxidants in dietary plants. Therefore screening for antioxidant properties of plant extracts has been one of the inte...

While tremendous efforts have been made in investigating scalable approaches for fabricating nanoparticles, less progress has been made in scalable synthesis of cyclic peptide nanoparticles and nanotubes, despite their great potential for broader biomedical applications. In this paper, tunable synthesis of self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes and nanoparticles using three different methods, ...

The article is devoted to the study of nanocomposite thin films based on a polyelectrolyte complex chitosan and succinamide (PEC). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were used as fillers. Using methods cyclic voltammetry electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it was found that have larger effective surface area electron transfer rate compared films, which allows them be further in electroa...
