I have evaluated electrophoretic, ion-exchange, kinetic, selective activation, and immunological methods of fractionating creatine kinase isoenzymes for diagnostic purposes. The last three were unsuitable. Electrophoretic methods had superior resolution and reliability, but were relatively insensitive when conventional film-drying techniques were used. With elution from the film, sensitivity wa...

the aim of the present work was to purify cysteine protease inhibitors from rapeseed (brassica napus l.), with potential activity on digestive protease of colorado potato beetle (cpb), leptinotarsa decemlineata (say). ammonium sulfate precipitated proteinaceous fractions; 30, 50, 70, and 100% showed 39.07, 57.03, 51.47, and 22.44% inhibition on the fourth instar larval gut general protease acti...

The objective of this study was to theoretically model and experimentally measure the kinetics and extent of drug release from different ion-exchange materials using an in-house-designed flow-cell. Ion-exchange fibers (staple fibers and fiber cloth) were compared with commercially available ion-exchange materials (resins and gels). The functional ion-exchange groups in all the materials were we...

The main objective of this study was to investigate biocompatibility and provide in-vivo pharmacological and toxicological evidence for further investigation of the possibility of pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere for clinical utilizations. Acute toxicity study and general pharmacological studies were conducted on the pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere we prepared. The genera...

In this work, the design, fabrication and optimization of a novel ion exchange unit are presented. A simple low cost system with a modified dipping mechanism and temperature controller for ion exchange in the glass substrate with molten salt is described. The design and technical details of the system together with those of the temperature controller are discussed. The ion exchange unit is opti...

in this research, polyvinylchloride based composite heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. chitosan-co-iron nickel oxide nanoparticles were utilized as membrane surface modifier to improve the membranes electrochemical properties. the effect of additive nanoparticle concentration in the modifier solution on the properties of composite membranes ...

application of chemical pesticides has increased significantly worldwide and has raised serious concerns about environmental pollutions. one of the encouraging trends to minimize pesticide risk is production of resistant plants containing toxic proteins against insect pests. considering the importance of purification and characterization of digestive enzymes in the production of resistant plant...

the computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. the program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area s = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number n = 300 pairs). the stack operatingconditions are optimized. seawater a...
