Dependences on composition lattice parameters volume unit cell, density, bulk modulus, enthalpy, vibrational entropy heat capacity obtained. Temperature dependences constructed. Analysis local structure its changes depe...

The two major proteins of the secretory vesicles of neuroendocrine cells, chromogranin A (CGA) and chromogranin B (CGB), have been shown to undergo pH- and Ca2+-dependent conformational changes and aggregation and have been suggested to play essential roles during secretory vesicle biogenesis in the trans-Golgi network. CGA has been shown to exist primarily in a tetrameric state at pH 5.5 and p...

The formation constants of UO2SO4 (aq), UO2(SO4)2(2-), and UO2(SO4)3(4-) were measured in aqueous solutions from 10 to 75 degrees C by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). A constant enthalpy of reaction approach was satisfactorily used to fit the thermodynamic parameters of stepwise complex formation reactions in a 0.1 M Na(+) ionic medium: log 10 K 1(25 degrees C) = ...

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...

Thermal denaturation of a-Lactalbumin in the absence and presence of various concentrations of sucrose,sorbitol, glucose and galactose as sugar osmolytes were measured by monitoring changes in the absorptions thatcarried out in a Lambd 35 UV-Vis double beam spectrophotometer at pH 6.0. These measurements gave valuesof T., (midpoint of denaturation), AH., (enthalpy change at T.), and ACp (consta...

Dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide (DDAO) has only one polar atom that is able to interact with water. Still, this surfactant shows very hydrophilic properties: in mixtures with water, it forms normal liquid crystalline phases and micelles. Moreover, there is data in the literature indicating that the hydration of this surfactant is driven by enthalpy while other studies show that hydration of surfac...

In many semiconductors, compensating defects set doping limits, decrease carrier mobility, and reduce minority carrier lifetime thus limiting their utility in devices. Native defects are often responsible. Suppressing the concentrations of compensating defects during processing close to thermal equilibrium is difficult because formation enthalpies are lowered as the Fermi level moves towards th...

A combined kinetic and computational study on our tryptophan-based bifunctional thiourea catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reactions reveals an apparent negative activation enthalpy. The formation of the pre-transition state complex has been unambiguously confirmed and these observations provide an experimental support for the formation of multiple hydrogen bonding network between the substrates and...
