They studied how the complex responded to the primary constituents of blood serum: DNA, RNA, proteins and glucose molecules. We found that the sensor was extremely selective towards DNA even in the presence of RNA and proteins. DNA could be detected fluorescently with parts-per-million accuracy. It turns out that only DNA has the ionic strength capable of separating the PNPB dye from the graphe...

Frog toe muscles were bathed in isotonic, sodium-free Tris chloride, methanesulfonate, or sulfate solutions containing sucrose or mannitol and varying in ionic strength from 0.006 to 0.291. By decreasing the ionic strength the curve relating the peak tension of the K contractures to the log [K] was reversibly shifted to lower [K]. Increasing the [Ca] from 1 to 4 mM almost abolished this effect....

An Fe(III) complex of a biuret-amide based macrocyclic ligand that exhibits both excellent reactivity for the activation of H(2)O(2) and high stability, especially at low pH and high ionic strength, is reported.

We have studied how the conditions in which the nuclear matrix is isolated influence the association of transcribing DNA with the nuclear matrix. Extraction of nuclease-treated nuclei with a low ionic strength solution before a high salt nuclei with a low ionic strength solution before a high salt extraction completely abolishes this association. However, RNA removal by RNAase treatment does no...

We report on the systematic investigation of electropreconcentration phenomena in hybrid micro/nanofluidic devices. The competition between the electroosmotic dragging force and the highly nonlinear electrophoretic forces induced by the polarization effect is responsible for four preconcentration regimes within such structures that can arise at both cathodic and anodic sides of the nanochannel....

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proven to be valuable reaction media for the synthesis of inorganic materials among an abundance of other applications in different fields of chemistry. Up to now, the syntheses have remained mostly "black boxes"; and researchers have to resort to trial-and-error in order to establish a new synthetic route to a specific compound. This review comprises decisive reac...

The Hildebrand's solubility parameters have been calculated for 18 ionic liquids from the inverse gas chromatography measurements of the activity coefficients at infinite dilution. Retention data were used for the calculation. The solubility parameters are helpful for the prediction of the solubility in the binary solvent mixtures. From the solubility parameters, the standard enthalpies of vapo...

The proton-ligand and metal-ligand stability constants of the complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II),Co(II) with 1-Benzothiazol2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(4-methoxy phenyl) pyrazoline (L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-phenyl pyrazoline (L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(4-chloro phenyl) pyrazoline(L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl3-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl phenyl)-5-(4-methoxy phenyl) pyrazo...

been characterized quite well using a variety of techniques individually and in combination over the last decade. Interest in these surfactant systems stems from a broad application base. These surfactant systems, or “detergents” have found application in oil recovery due to enhanced solubility, higher cloud points, and lower Krafft points than the corresponding pure surfactant in solution. The...
