The effects of aspirin, vitamin B(12) and warfarin as potential blockers of the ruthenium binding sites in HSA were investigated through UV/visible, circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy and the inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy ICP(AES). The studies on the interactions of several biologically relevant molecules with HSA have shown that drugs like aspirin or w...

In this study we analysed mineral composition of bee pollen of different plant origin collected across Serbia using inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry. The most abundant elements were potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The samples were also exceptionally rich in iron and zinc, which are very important as nutrients. Judging by our findings, mineral composition of bee poll...

Chemical charging of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphenes to generate soluble salts shows great promise as a processing route for electronic applications, but raises fundamental questions. The reduction potentials of highly-charged nanocarbon polyelectrolyte ions were investigated by considering their chemical reactivity towards metal salts/complexes in forming metal nanopartic...

BACKGROUND The potential of coupling chemometric data processing techniques to thermal analysis for formulating an "archaeometric" classification of fossil bones was investigated. Moreover, the possibility of integrating the outcomes of this approach with the results of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy for an anthropological interpretation of the observed patterns was also...
