A respiratory monitoring system based on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor with a functional film was designed and investigated. Porphyrins 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfophenyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TSPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfophenyl)-21H, 23H-porphine manganese (III) chloride (MnTSPP) used as sensitive elements were assembled with a poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA)....

Two new water-soluble metal carboxyl porphyrins, manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (carboxyl) porphyrin and iron (III) meso-tetrakis (carboxyl) porphyrin, were synthesized and characterized. Their interactions with ct-DNA were investigated by UV-Vis titration, fluorescence spectra, viscosity measurement and CD spectra. The results showed they can strongly bind to ct-DNA via outside binding mode. El...

In this study, the noncovalent functionalization of graphene with cationic porphyrins in an aqueous medium was investigated using UV-vis and fluorescence approaches. To characterize the interaction between graphene and cationic porphyrins, 5,10,15,20-tetra (4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (1-methyl-4-pyridinio) porphyrin tetra (p-toluenesulfonate) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-tri...

Porphyrins molecules are gaining importance in the present era. Porphyrins are important part of biological molecules like hemoglobin and chlorophyll .Photo system 1 and photo system 2 is important sunlight trap in chloroplast. Electron transport chain is a series of chemical reaction in which energy is formed in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).The members of electron transport chains ...

The conditions of the use of the manganese/porphyrin/imidazole system needed to be improved in order to obtain larger amounts of models of metabolites. An increase of the oxidation yields and a better preservation of this catalytic system have been obtained on the examples of various alkanes, by an acid addition in the reaction mixture. Three manganoporphyrins were checked for evaluation of the...

Porphyrins are highly persistent in the environment and represent a helpful biogeochemical attribute to assess spatial distribution of effects oil spills on ecosystems their resilience. In areas prone natural human-originated spills, measurement VO– nickel–porphyrins marine–sediment samples can identify pollution across spatiotemporal scales. The goal is explore whether or not these compounds b...

The singly charged, parent anions of three transition metal, tetraphenyl porphyrins, M(TPP) [Fe(TPP), Mn(TPP), and Ni(TPP)], were studied by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. The observed (vertical) transitions from the ground state anions of these porphyrins to the various electronic states of their neutral counterparts were modeled by density functional theory computations. Our experim...

Myoglobins provide an opportunity to investigate the effect of the secondary coordination sphere on the functionality and reactivity of non-native metal porphyrins inside well-defined protein scaffolds. In this work, we reconstituted myoglobin by the replacement of natural heme with manganese(iii) protoporphyrin IX and firstly investigated the effect of distal histidine on the reaction of Mn(II...
