The Binding behavior of acidic capsular polysaccharide (SPS), isolated from Klebsiella serotype K43 with oppositely charged dyes and surfactants have been studied by absorbance and emission spectroscopic studies. Each repeating unit of the SPS consists of three D-mannose, one D-galactose and one D-glucuronic acid residue. The anionic polymer exhibited chromtropic character and induced strong me...

Favipiravir is a synthetic prodrug, first discovered while assessing the antiviral activity of chemical agents active against influenza virus. The present study aimed at developing and validating new colorimetric methods for its determination in both pure form tablet formulation. developed method utilizes ion-pair spectrophotometry employed quantitative evaluation drug using acidic dyes - methy...

Carbon prepared from Gloriosa superba pericarp was used to remove reactive orange 107 and reactive black 5 from aqueous solution by adsorption technique under varying conditions of agitation time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and pH. Adsorption depended on solution pH, dye concentration, carbon concentration and contact time. Equilibrium was attained at 165 minutes and 105 minutes for reac...

Natural dyes have been used for staining wool, silk, carpet and cotton in addition to their uses in staining of tissue microscopical sections. The binding of dyes to textile products has been studied for many years, but is sti l l not fully understood. Less is known about the interaction between the dye and tissue components. Black mulberry (Morus nigra) fruits have strong staining activity and...

Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)) by α-chitin nanoparticles (CNP) prepared from Penaeus monodon (Fabr...

The principal phosphoglycoproteins of avian and amphibian egg yolk, known as phosvitins, have been examined extensively in developmental studies of estrogenic induction of protein synthesis (1) and, more recently, as substrates for protein kinases which phosphorylate the basic nuclear proteins (2,3). Phosvitin has few aromatic and basic amino acids (4) which can be detected by uv absorbance or ...

Colored effluents are one of the important environment pollution sources since they contain unused dye compounds which are toxic and less-biodegradable. In this work removal of Acid Red 14 and Acid Red 18 azo dyes was investigated by acidic treated pumice stone as an efficient adsorbent at various experimental conditions. Removal of dye increased with increase in contact time and initial dye co...

textile effluents contain different kinds of chemical dyes and many mutagenic and carcinogenic substances. discharge of these effluents into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems causes harmful effects. in this research, decolorization of a textile effluent by nineteen different strains of fungi was investigated. removal activity of dyes was in order of   aspergillus > rhizopus > fuzarium > penici...

The exact role of the central acidic domain of Mdm2 in p53 degradation remains unclear. We therefore performed a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the acidic domain using a series of short deletions and found that only a minor part of the domain was indispensable for Mdm2-mediated p53 ubiquitylation. Moreover, we identified a short stretch of acidic amino acids required for p53 degradati...
