In this study chick pea β-galactosidase was first time purified and recovered in single step by three phase partitioning (TPP). Optimal purification parameters for TPP were 60% ammonium sulfate saturation (w/v) with 1:0.5 (v/v) ratio of crude extract:t-butanol at pH 6.8, which gave 10.1 purification fold with 133% recovery of β-galactosidase. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that protein has two subuni...

Diolefinic antibacterial laser dye namely 1,4-Bis[2-(4-Pyridyl) Vinyl] Benzene (4PVB)have been investigated electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, convolution and deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation techniques at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol / L Tetra Butyl Ammonium Perchlorate (TBAP) in  solvent 1,2-dichloroethane.  The diolefinic ...

Liquid membrane processes have attracted many interests in recent years for removal of heavy metals such as cadmium from industrial wastewaters. In this study, a modified hybrid liquid membrane system is introduced. The setup is worked by applying the water-insoluble dioctyl phthalate as the organic solvent. N-octanol and tetra butyl ammonium bromide are added to the organic phase to increase t...

The feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (TOMAC) as an extractant, was studied. The diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. The effect of initial acid concentration in t...

The binuclear title complex, [Zn(2)(C(22)H(28)N(3)O)(2)(C(3)H(9)OSi)(2)], has a crystallographic imposed centre of symmetry. The Zn(II) atom is coordinated by three O and one N atom from one 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentyl-phenolate ligand and two bridging trimethyl-silanolate anions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the benzotriazole ring system and t...

Three-phase partitioning (TPP) is carried out by mixing ammonium sulfate and t-butanol to obtain organic phase, interfacial precipitate and aqueous phase. It is shown that TPP of an 8 M urea/100 mM dithiothreitol-denatured xylanase preparation resulted in simultaneous renaturation and purification. This integrated novel approach gave recovery of 93% enzyme activity with 21-fold purification. Th...

A mixture of (E,Z)-isomers of methyl 12-trishomofarnesoate (methyl 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-pentadecatrienoate), a juvenile hormone mimic, was synthesized in nine steps (32.6% overall yield) by starting from only four commercially available materials: 2-hexanone, vinylmagnesium bromide, methyl acetoacetate and trimethyl phosphonoacetate. The mimic is useful in increasing the yield of silk by elo...

New water-soluble p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arenes containing peptide and quaternary ammonium fragments in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations were synthesized and characterized. The interaction of the macrocycles with DNA was studied by UV-spectroscopy, DLS and TEM. It was shown that the interaction of the self-associates based on p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arenes tetrasubstituted at the lower rim...
