1. The size of two bacterial lipases was studied by SDS/PAGE, sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium to test for possible self-association behaviour. 2. Mr values of selected lipases were obtained from SDS/PAGE and sedimentation-velocity measurements, together with an absolute determination by sedimentation equilibrium 3. The Mr values obtained in a variety of aqueous solvents ind...

Gold nanoparticles prepared by chemical reduction in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution are size-controlled with the addition of pyrene. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) is applied to the system to examine the size and polydispersity of gold nanoparticles and to show that pyrene has the extraordinary effect in decreasing the size and narrowing the dispersity of gold na...

Our electrochemical cell consisted of a ferrocene-included hemispherical nitrobenzene (NB) droplet on the glassy carbon (GC) electrode which was immersed in the aqueous solution including sodium sulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). When an air bubble was injected near the boundary between the oil and the aqueous phase, it stayed at the top of the hemisphere on the boundary so that the lowe...

This study is to prepare chitosan beads modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) effectively remove Cr(III) from an aqueous solution. The characterizations of SDS-chitosan by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and photoelectron (XPS) proved the successful synthesis adsorbent. adsorption on SDS material was investigat...

Peptides corresponding to the proposed lipid-binding domains of human apolipoprotein C-I, residues 7-24 (ALDKLKEFGNTLEDKARE) and 35-53 (SAKMREWFSETFQKVKEKL), were studied by CD and two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used to model the lipoprotein environment. Analysis of the CD data shows that both peptides lack well-defined structure in aqueous solution but ad...

This paper reports on the microstructures formed in aqueous solutions containing mixtures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and a photosensitive, bolaform surfactant, bis(trimethylammoniumhexyloxy)azobenzene dibromide (BTHA). By using quasi-elastic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering, we determined that aqueous solutions containing SDS and the trans isomer of BTHA (0.1 wt % total ...

Ozone is used in many applications in the industry as an oxidising agent for example for bleaching and sterilisation. The decomposition of ozone in aqueous solutions is complex, and is affected by many properties such as, pH, temperature and substances present in the water. Additives can either accelerate the decomposition rate of ozone or have a stabilising effect of the ozone decay. By contro...

introduction: arsenic is known as a carcinogenic compound in drinking water . it can cause acute and chronic effects on human health. in this study, the effect of polyamidoamine dendrimer generation 3(pamam g3) as adsorbents for removal of arsenic (v) from aqueous solutions was evaluated.     methods: adsorption experiment was studied in batch system and the effect of different variables like p...
