Pyrene mediated noncovalent attachment of a chlorophyll derivative, pyro-pheophorbide a, to a soluble single wall carbon nanotube is reported and the resultant CD, UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence and 1H NMR spectra are discussed.

Trypsin is a key protease related to digestion and absorption of proteins, which its inhibition must be studied when natural compounds, such as flavonoids, are used part alternative treatments for obesity diabetes mellitus type 2, since trypsin together with other pancreatic enzymes worked at small intestine. Considering that flavonoids good lipase amylase inhibitors, trypsin-flavonoids interac...

In the present work, the interaction ofFe3O4@CaAl LDH@ Lamivudine with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by applying UV–vis and fluorescence spectra. The nanocomposite was quenching the natural fluorescence of HSA, which was indicated the static quenching mechanism. The consequences demonstrated that this nanocomposite can strongly bind to HSA molecules. According to fluorescence quenc...

In the present study, a historical set of Late Roman glasses coming from a recently unearthed graveyard located in the small city of Cubas de la Sagra, within the Madrid region (Spain) was compositionally analysed using different techniques such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopies, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy ...

The interaction of acetaminophen, a non-substrate anionic ligand, with Aldehyde Dehydrogenase was studied by fluorescence, UV-Vis absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopies under simulated physiological conditions. The fluorescence spectra and data generated showed that acetaminophen binding to ALDH is purely dynamic quenching mechanism. The acetaminophen-ALDH is kinetically rapid revers...

a novel quaternary ammonium-based cationic gemini surfactant (s6) having 1,6 di-bromo hexane as a spacer, have been used and its interaction with insulin in aqueous solution (ph, 7.40) was investigated by several methods including fluorescence spectroscopy, uv-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurements, conductivity and transmission electron microsc...

Polyvinyltetrazole (PVT) is produced from acrylonitrile (AN) monomer by using free-radicalpolymerization and Click Chemistry methods. The resulting polymer with a broad range of tetrazolegroup contents was conveniently synthesized through [3+ 2] azide-nitrile cycloaddition reaction ofnitrile-containing polymer with sodium azide in DMF. The prepared PVT was characterized by13CN...

A coumarin derivative was employed for the detection of biogenic amines in buffered aqueous solution by UV-Vis or fluorescence spectroscopy. Incorporated in a polymeric matrix, the dye can also be used for the optical detection of gaseous amines.

Films of pseudoisocyanine iodide in a cellulose acetate matrix were prepared by spin coating and characterized by UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. The comparison with self-supported films of the same dye enabled analysing the role of the matrix in the aggregation of pseudoisocyanine iodide ([PIC]I). It was proved that cellulose acetate is a suitable support for [PIC]I J-aggreg...

The binding properties on alizarin to human serum albumin (HSA) have been studied for the first time using fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy. The results showed that alizarin strongly quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure, and non-radiation energy transfer occurred within the molecules. The number of bindin...
