the interactions of β-lactoglobulin ab in the presence of cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate have been investigated using a variety of experimental techniques such as conductivity, uv-vis spectrophotometry and fluorimetry. the conductivity of surfactants aqueous solutions with β-lactoglobulin shows that the cmc of cationic s...

To determine whether two HorC molecules coordinately form a single unit, the functional properties of covalently linked dimers of HorC encoded by tandemly fused horC genes were studied. Lactobacillus brevis introduced with the fused horC genes and a single horC gene exhibited same degree of resistance to hop compounds and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. This suggests that HorC functions as a ho...

zeolite zsm-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. the absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of zsm-5. in this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (mtpbr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

A new class of 'soft' particles, micelles, is detected electrochemically via 'nano-impacts' for the first time. Short, sharp bursts of current are used to indicate the electrical contact of a single CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) micelle with an electrode via the oxidation of the bromide content. The variation in CTAB concentration for such 'nano-impact' experiments shows that a signific...

WO3 films were obtained via evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) using ionic surfactants such as long-chain ionic liquids 1-hexadecyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride and bromide (C16mimCl and C16mimBr, respectively) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and bromide (CTAC and CTAB, respectively) as additives. Owing to the presence of the ionic surfactants, WO3 films crystallize in a preferred or...

Solutions of histamine and methacholine bromide in different matrices for diagnostic purposes were analyzed for stability and quality control using capillary electrophoresis. Histamine (2,[4-imidazolyl]ethylamine) [CAS No. 51-45-6] was determined using a 0.1 M Tris-borate buffer of pH 8.3 with 5.10(-5) M cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 0.005% poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and detected at ...

Bismuth oxychloride photocatalysts were obtained using solvothermal synthesis and different additives (CTAB—cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAC—cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, PVP–polyvinylpyrrolidone, SDS–sodium dodecylsulphate, U—urea TU—thiourea). The effect of the previously mentioned compounds was analyzed applying structural (primary crystallite size, crystal phase composition, etc.), m...
