چکیده

In 1903 Hopkins and Cole (1) identified tryptophan as the source of indole produced by bacterial cultures. The tryptophan-inducible enzyme responsible for this conversion, which is found most commonly in Escherichia coli, was subsequently named tryptophanase by Happold and Hoyle (2). Wood, Gunsalus, and Umbreit (3) showed that tryptophanase catalyzed the stoichiometric conversion of tryptophan to indole, pyruvate, and ammonia (Reaction 1) and required pyridoxal 5-phosphate as a cofactor.

Luminescent rhenium(I) diimine indole conjugates--photophysical, electrochemical and protein-binding properties.

Two novel luminescent rhenium(I) diimine indole complexes have been designed and their properties studied; these conjugates can be recognised by indole-binding proteins including bovine serum albumin, lysozyme and tryptophanase.

Improving the Magnetic Properties Co2FeSi Heusler Compound by Modifying the Crystalline Order in Different Manufacturing Procedures

In this study, the improvement of the magnetic properties of Co2FeSi Heusler compound was followed by the utilization of different experimental synthesizing procedures. Comparing the crystal structure showed that the milled samples had a higher crystalline order than the arc-melted ones. Annealing of the milled sample improved the crystalline order, resulting in the highest saturation magnetiza...

Inhibition of the induced formation of tryptophanase in Escherichia coli by near-ultraviolet radiation.

Induced formation of tryptophanase in Escherichia coli B/r is temporarily inhibited by near-ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The inhibition is greater when irradiation is at 5 C than when at room temperature. Hence, the inhibition is the result of a photochemical, rather than photoenzymatic, alteration of some cellular component. The action spectrum has a peak in the region of 334 nm and is simila...

Introducing and investigating structural and magnetic properties of ribbons Co68.5-xFe4WxSi16.5B11 (x = 0.8, 2) in amorphous and crystalline states

In this study, for the first time, cobalt base ribbons were made by adding two different amounts of tungsten with Co67.7Fe4W0.8Si16.5B11 and Co66.5Fe4W2 Si16.5B11 compounds by melt spinning in the water. The pattern of  X-ray diffraction taken from these ribbons shows that these magnetic ribbons are amorphous. By using thermal analysis curves, taken from the ribbons, crystallization temperature...

Effects of Annealing and Thickness on the Structural and Optical Properties of Crystalline ZnS Thin Films Prepared by PVD Method

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at the pressure of 10-6 mbar by thermal resistor evaporation technique. The effects of annealing on the structural, optical properties of ZnS films were studied. Crystalline ZnS films have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Only cubic phase with the preferred (111) plane was found in ZnS films. Optical characteristics were studie...
