Some Calorimetric Apparatus

Calorimetric & respirometric monitoring of metabolism: some Examples

inTroDuCTion Simultaneous measurements of the rates of heat production and oxygen utilisation by living tissues provides a direct quantitative means of detecting subtle changes in metabolic state in the face of altered physiological and environmental conditions. The ratio of calorimetrically measured heat flux to the respirometrically measured oxygen flux is often called the “calorimetric-respi...

Modeling of Some Calorimetric and Spectropolarimetric Titration Data

Microcalorimetric and spectropolarimetric titrations were used to investigate micellization of cationic surfactants and binding of netropsin to dodecameric DNA duplex. For description of both processes, model functions containing linear and non-linear parameters were derived. Model analysis was based on a weighted (multi)linear regression and a standard »Simplex« procedure. Close investigation ...

The structure and some properties of the isolated mitotic apparatus.

The morphology of the isolated sea-urchin mitotic apparatus (MA) was examined by light and electron microscopy. With the polarization microscope and the Nomarski differential interference microscope, the isolated MAs appeared to be similar to in vivo MAs. Electron microscopy of the isolated MAs revealed the presence of microtubules, ribosome-like particles and vesicles. A close association betw...

Volumetric and Calorimetric Techniques

A differential calorimetric approach

For the first time, calorimetric studies performed at very low temperature highlighted the preliminary and required conditions for further aggregation/coacervation of peptides from elastin in solution through the structural water reorganization around the peptides. For this purpose, we firstly characterized by turbidimetry and differential scanning calorimetry the synthetic S4 fragment peptide ...
