The binding dynamics of the 2-aminoanthracenium cation (AH(+)) and 2-aminoanthracene (A) with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) was studied using stopped-flow experiments. The kinetics was followed by measuring the fluorescence changes over time for AH(+) and A, which emit at different wavelengths. The studies at various pH values showed different mechanisms for the formation of the AH(+)@CB[7] complex, ...

UV absorption spectra and circular dichroism spectra of aqueous solutions of cytosinand thymine-containing single-stranded Oligodeoxyribonucleotide 5'-CCTTTCCTTTTCCTTTCC-3'(ckit4) were measured at various рН in the range 3.3–8.9. The chemometric analysis of the multiinstrumental data matrix was carried out. The diagrams of relative contents of complex forms of the DNA molecule absorbing in the ...

using uv-vis spectrophotometic method, the formation constants for interaction of cd2+(aq) andco2+(aq) ions with l-alanine were experimentally studied at ph = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mm of potassiumhydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strength of 0.1m potassium nitrate and at 5 differenttemperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35°c. the optical absorption spectra of mixtures containingconsidered cations and l-alanine ...

The interaction of bovine serum albumin ( BSA) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ΙΙ) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( CoTSPc) , has been studiedby the UV- Vis method at pH 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. Theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computerSQUAD program data refinement. Th...

A systematic study has been performed of the proton affinity of a large family of agonists and antagonists of the α1-adrenoceptor at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. After a conformational search, all the N atoms were considered as protonation sites and protonation energy values were determined. The inclusion of solvation by means of the Onsager model yielded stabilization in the proton affini...

Biofilms are often associated with human bacterial infections, and the natural tolerance of biofilms to antibiotics challenges treatment. Compounds with antibiofilm activity could become useful adjuncts to antibiotic therapy. We used norspermidine, a natural trigger for biofilm disassembly in the developmental cycle of Bacillus subtilis , to develop guanidine and biguanide compounds with up to...

The complexation of Cd2+ by diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl sulfide (DAS) has been studied by differential pulse voltammetry. Stability constants, (log β), of the 1:1 (PbL) and 1:2 (PbL2) complexes, where L = ligand, were found to be in the range of ca. 5.8 - 6.2 and 9.6 -10.6, respectively. Complex formation is accompanied with a significant decrease in the peak current and the shift of t...
