Thermodynamic study of dioxovanadium (V) Complexes with p-sulphonato-calix [6] arene in aqueous solution

Spectrophotometric Studies ot Vanadium(III) Ion Complexes th p-Sulfonatocalixf 41 acme In Aqueous Solution

Spectropholornetrie technique is used to evaluate binding of the vanadium(1U) ion to a water solublecaruc[4] arene molecule in aqueous solution. On the basis of the calculated value formation constant at25rC.we found that the eomplexation of this metal on is very favored towards 25, 26, 27, 2Stetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetnmulphonalic acid-calix[0]areneGaussian 03 package.

Chemistry of Hofmeister anions and osmolytes.

The study of the interactions of salts and osmolytes with macromolecules in aqueous solution originated with experiments concerning protein precipitation more than 100 years ago. Today, these solutes are known to display recurring behavior for myriad biological and chemical processes. Such behavior depends both on the nature and concentration of the species in solution. Despite the generality o...

Entropic stabilization of proteins by TMAO.

The osmolyte trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) accumulates in the cell in response to osmotic stress and increases the thermodynamic stability of folded proteins. To understand the mechanism of TMAO induced stabilization of folded protein states, we systematically investigated the action of TMAO on several model dipeptides (leucine, L(2), serine, S(2), glutamine, Q(2), lysine, K(2), and glycine, G(...

Energetic contribution to hydration shells in one-dimensional aqueous electrolyte solution by anomalous hydrogen bonds.

The hydration structure of NaCl aqueous solution was elucidated in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the basis of canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations. Hydration shells were preferentially formed even in narrow CNTs to gain stabilization energy, whereas hydrogen bonding between water molecules in such CNTs was sacrificed. Nanoscale-confined aqueous electrolyte solutions therefore prioritize hydr...

Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) mediated biosynthesis of sliver nanoparticles, characterization and their antimicrobial activity

In this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by UV-Visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm corresponding to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles.
