Facile evaluation of mixed-salt effect on the strongly salt-dependent thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of protein-DNA complexes is of importance for relevant biochemical and biophysical studies. In pursuit of this aim, binding isotherms for open transcription complex (RPo) of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (R) at lambdaP(R) promoter DNA (P) were determined as a function of salt concentrati...

Binary mixtures of cholesterol, ergosterol, and lanosterol with phosphatidylcholines differing in the length of the saturated acyl chains, viz 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), were analyzed using a Langmuir balance for recording force-area (pi-A) and surface potential-area (psi-A) isotherms. A progressive disappea...

The thermodynamic properties of surface ceria were investigated through equilibrium isotherms determined by flow-titration and coulometric-titration measurements on high-surface-area ceria and ceria supported on La-modified alumina (LA). While the surface area of pure ceria was found to be unstable under redox conditions, the extent of reduction at 873 K and a P(O2) of 1.6x10-26 atm increased w...

In the present work, we develop a predictive corresponding-states correlation for the binary interaction parameters of systems composed of hydrocarbons (HC), up to C10, with CO2 and H2S. Experimental data were collected from the literature for 12 HC/CO2 systems (1017 data points for 90 isotherms), 7 HC/H2S systems (293 data points for 27 isotherms), and the CO2/H2S systems (61 data points for 1...

-Adsorptive-type organoclays, where hydrocarbons adsorb directly to the siloxane surfaces, were studied to find new organic cations and to determine the parameters that produce effective sorbents. Organoclays were prepared from hectorite by cation exchange with small, aromatic organic cation salt solutions. Trimethylphenylammonium (TMPA) chloride was obtained and iodide salts of commerciallyuna...

This paper is reporting new finding in the field of adsorbate-adsorbate interaction for supercritical carbon dioxide adsorption by One-Kondo model analysis. Adsorption isotherms for supercritical carbon dioxide on activated carbon Filtrasorb 400 and on zeolite 13X have been evaluated and shown to demonstrate adsorption compression phenomenon at high pressure end just as in subcritical systems. ...

Adsorption of carbon dioxide in slit-shaped carbon micropores at 273 K has been studied by means of the grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and the nonlocal density functional theory (NLDFT). Three molecular models of CO2 have been used. Long-run GCMC simulations were performed with the three-center model of Harris and Yung (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 12021). For NLDFT calculations, we...

Microarray hybridization studies have attributed the nonlinearity of hybridization isotherms to probe saturation and post-hybridization washing. Both processes are thought to distort 'true' target abundance because immobilized probes are saturated with excess target and stringent washing removes loosely bound targets. Yet the paucity of studies aimed at understanding hybridization and dissociat...

Further studies of the hydrophobic force in foam films were carried out, including the effect of added inorganic electrolyte. We used a thin film balance of Scheludko-Exerowa type to obtain the disjoining pressure isotherms of the foam films stabilized by 10-4 M sodium dodecyl sulfate in varying concentrations of sodium chloride. The results were compared with the disjoining pressure isotherms ...
