Fluorescence switching of sanguinarine in micellar environments

Fluorescence switching of sanguinarine in micellar environments.

Sanguinarine (SANG), a key member of the benzylisoquinoline alkaloid family, is well-known for its various therapeutic applications such as antimicrobial, antitumor, anticancer, antifungal and anti-inflammatory etc. Depending on the medium pH, SANG exists in the iminium or alkanolamine form, which emits at 580 nm and 420 nm, respectively. Nucleophilic attack on the C6 carbon atom converts the i...

the effect analysis of proficiency on language - switching in iranian efl learners writing

abstract in a protocol analysis of second language writing from 20 adult english as a foreign language (efl) iranian students, this research observed how language-switching (l-s), i.e., first language use in l2 writing, was affected by l2 proficiency. switching interactively between first (l1) and second (l2) languages has been recognized as one of the salient characteristics of l2 writing....

Influence of a Crown Ether on the Spectral Properties of Triarylmethane Dyes in Aqueous and Micellar Environments

This study demonstrates the spectral data for two triarylmethane dyes, malachite green (MG) and crystal violet (CV) at room temperature. Effects of micellar environment, and crown ether addition on the spectral behaviour of the dyes were studied using absorption spectroscopic method. The dye-anionic surfactant interactions in micellar media were investigated. The chosen surfactants with differe...

fluorescence enhancement of propranolol in the presence of anionic micellar media

Controlling and switching the morphology of micellar nanoparticles with enzymes.

Micelles were prepared from polymer-peptide block copolymer amphiphiles containing substrates for protein kinase A, protein phosphatase-1, and matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9. We examine reversible switching of the morphology of these micelles through a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle and study peptide-sequence directed changes in morphology in response to proteolysis. Furthermore, th...
