Kinetics of ruthenium (III) catalysed oxidation of essential amino acid, arginine by hexacyanoferrate (III) has been carried out in aqueous alkaline medium at 35°C.The rate of the reaction shows first order dependence on hexacyanoferrate (III). The reaction rate is first order at low concentrations of amino acid and alkali both and tends towards zero order at higher concentrations of substrate ...

A potentiometric non-enzymatic sensor using off-chip extended-gate field effect transistor (EGFET) with a ferrocenyl-alkanethiol modified gold electrode is demonstrated for determining the uric acid concentration in human serum and urine. Hexacyanoferrate (II) and (III) ions are used as redox reagent. This potentiometric sensor measures the interface potential on the ferrocene immobilized gold ...

The droplet phase of a reverse microemulsion formed by the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium ferrocyanide was used as a matrix to synthesize nanoparticles of nickel hexacyanoferrate by adding just a solution of NiCl2 to the microemulsion media. Dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering measurements show that the reverse microemulsion droplets employed have a globular structure...

A nanocomposite adsorbent based on potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate-loaded polypropylene fabric was synthesized for selective removal of Cs ions from contaminated waters by a two-stage synthesis: radiation-induced graft polymerization of acrylic acid monomer onto the nonwoven polypropylene fabric surface with subsequent in situ formation of potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate (KNiHCF) nanopartic...

A stable electroactive thin film of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (COHCF) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of a microband gold electrode. The cyclic voltammograms of CoHCF film indicate the presence of two redox peaks corresponding to the hexacyanoferrate(II/lII) redox couple. The electrochemical behaviour of CoHCF is related to the concentration of supporting electrolyte and counter-io...

A simple and effective method for the preparation of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) grown on amino-func‐ tionalized halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was developed. The nanostructures were synthesized through the func‐ tionalization of the HNTs, followed by an in situ approach to generate Pt NPs with diameter of approximately 1.5 nm within the entire HNTs. The synthesis process, composition and morp...

Investigation of the redox properties of drugs and their determination are performed by electrochemical techniques. Data obtained from electrochemical techniques are often correlated with molecular structure and pharmacological activity of drugs. In this regard, different modified electrodes were applied as sensors for quantification of different drugs. A nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide...

Type III Cu ligand, His456 and His458, of Myrothecium verrucaria (MT-1) bilirubin oxidases (BO) [EC 1.3.3.5] were doubly mutated as to Lys, Asp, and Val. In spite of perturbation of the type III Cu centers, these mutants were pale blue or colourless when isolated. However, they became intense blue on reaction with reducing agents such as dithionite, ascorbate, hexacyanoferrate(II), and octacyan...
