A novel carbon paste electrode modified with ionic liquid (n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro phosphate) and magnetic core-shell manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MCSILCPE) was fabricated. The electrochemical study of the modified electrode, as well as its efficiency for electro-oxidation of tryptophan, is described. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), choronoamperometry (CHA) and square wave voltammet...

Quality Protein Maize (QPM) has about twice the amount of lysine and tryptophan of normal maize and hence represents an important tool of correcting its deficiency in protein quality. However, the effects of low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters such as gene action and combining abilities of protein quantity and quality of QPM are not known. To study how these genetic parameters are af...

Kinetics of oxidation of diethylamine (DEA) by Bromamine-B (BAB) has been investigated at in acid solution with Ru(III) as catalyst. The oxidation behavior obeys 303 K the rate law, rate 5 k [BAB] [DEA] [Ru(III)] [H1]2x where ‘x’ is less than unity indicating retardation of rate by [H]. Added halide ions, the reaction product benzenesulphonamide, variation of ionic strength and dielectric const...

A cobalt bis(iminopyridine) complex is a highly active electrocatalyst for water reduction, with an estimated apparent second order rate constant k(app) ≤ 10(7) M(-1)s(-1) over a range of buffer/salt concentrations. Scan rate dependence data are consistent with freely diffusing electroactive species over pH 4-9 at room temperature for each of two catalytic reduction events, one of which is beli...

conclusions our present study shows that sugar beet molasses is a source of plp and l-ser; and hence, suggests the general application of the approach to produce l-trp more economically. results consequently, the potassium phosphate buffer system was considered as the suitably buffered reaction medium. the concentration of l-trp produced in reaction medium was 0.3 mm and 0.12 mm for glucose and...

In this paper, we analyzed the pH-induced changes in the conformational states of the manganese-stabilizing protein (MSP) of photosystem II. Distinct conformational states of MSP were identified using fluorescence spectra, far-UV circular dichroism, and pressure-induced unfolding at varying suspension pH values, and four different conformational states of MSP were clearly distinguished using th...

Protonation of a free-base meso-pyrimidinyl-substituted AB(2)-corrole (H(3)AB(2)) in ethanol solution by stepwise addition of sulfuric acid has been studied in the temperature range from 293 to 333 K. The formation rate of protonated species was found to depend profoundly on the temperature at which the titration was undertaken. Two steps in the titration curve were identified at temperatures a...

background: salvia limbata is an aromatic herbaceous plant and grows widely in iran turkey and afghanistan. in the previous study, six flavones together with rosmarinic acid were isolated from the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of s. limbata. in this report, we focused on the isolation and identification of the glycosylated sterols and the main accumulated amino acid of the species s. limb...

By elucidating the mechanism of the simplest electrophilic substitution reaction of ferrocene, it was found that the verification of the protonation reaction has been a difficulty. In the work reported here, ab initio chemical dynamics simulations were performed at B3LYP/DZVP level of theory to understand the atomic level mechanisms of protonation and lithiation of ferrocene. Protonation of fer...
