objective(s): the aim of this study was to synthesize triangular gold nanoparticles, and then to evaluate their capability for inhibition of candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase 2(sap2).materials and methods: to synthesize the nanoparticles, hydrogen tetrachloroaurate and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were incubated in presence of sn(iv) meso-tetra(n-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine t...

the chemical surfactant flooding can mobilize the trapped oil by lowering the interfacial tension between oil and brine and in some cases altering the reservoir rock wettability. in this work, the effect of surfactants on oil/brine interfacial tension was experimentally investigated. first, the effect of surfactants concentration was surveyed. afterwards, the effect of salinity on surfactant be...

entrapment of permeabilized whole cells within a matrix is a common method for immobilization. chitosan possesses distinct chemical and biological properties, which make it a suitable matrix for entrapment and immobilization of penicillin g acylase (pga). in the first step, escherichia coli (atcc 11105) cells were permeabilized using n-cetyl-n,n,n-trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab) (0.1% w/v, 45...

A new series of isoxazole tethered quinone-amino acid hybrids has been designed and synthesized involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction followed by an oxidation reaction using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). Using this method, for the first time various isoxazole tethered quinone-phenyl alanine and quinone-alanine hybrids were synthesized from simple commercially available 4-bromobenzyl bro...

Rearrangement of propargyl amine salt, in the presence of a base was studied and it was concluded that this occurs through an allenic intermediate.

To obtain a better understanding of the structural features characteristic of the equilibrated micelle a solubilized molecule acting as probe may be employed. A good probe is one whose selected physical properties are sensitive to the nature of the mioroenvironment it experiences and which are readily measured by experiment. The nature of the microenvironment includes the microvisco3ity, polari...

Trimethyl (octadecyl) ammonium and it's salts is widely used as a cationic surfactant. In this study, an analytical method for trimethyl in sediment by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed. method, measured chloride. The detection limit (MDL) quantification (MQL) were 0.00026 μg/g-dry 0.00069 μg/g-dry, respectively. This able to measure the organic or inorgani...

The Sn(IV) atom in the title salt, [N(CH(3))(3)(C(6)H(5))](2)[SnBr(4)(C(6)H(4)Cl)(2)], exists in a distorted all-trans SnC(2)Br(4) octa-hedral geometry. The Sn(IV) atom lies on a center of inversion. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding is observed between trimethyl-phenyl-ammonium cations and the Sn complex anion in the crystal structure.
