A simply and high selectively electrochemical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol at a glassy carbon electrode modified with the poly L-methionine/multiwall carbon nanotubes, which significantly increased the reversible electrochemical reaction. The electrochemical behavior of catechol and hydroquinone at the modified electrode was studied b...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method was presented for determination of trace amounts of cu (ii) in water samples. the stability of an n, n´ -disalicylideneethylenediamine modified nano geraphene especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was studied which used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of n, n´-disalicylideneethylenediamine modified na...

The rapid increase in the number of genetically modified (GM) varieties has led to a demand for high-throughput methods to detect genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We describe a new dynamic array-based high throughput method to simultaneously detect 48 targets in 48 samples on a Fludigm system. The test targets included species-specific genes, common screening elements, most of the Chinese...

Two new 5-oxomilbemycins, 27-aldehyde-5-oxomilbemycin β12 (1) and 2-hydroxymilbemycin K (2), were isolated from a genetically engineered strain Streptomyces bingchenggensis BCJ60. Their structures were determined by comprehensive analyses of its 1 H and 13 C NMR, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC spectroscopic, HRESI-MS mass spectrometric and comparison with data from the literature. Preliminary studies sho...

Using the nano-porous pseudo carbon paste electrode (Nano-PPCPE) as the working electrode, mixing L-glutamate oxidase (L-GLOD), catalase (Cat) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with phosphate buffer (PB, pH = 7.4), followed by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde, a novel L-glutamate electrochemical biosensor was successfully formed. It was demonstrated that the modified nano-PPCPE exhibits a high se...

In this note, we consider the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm with reorthogonalization applied on a numerical nonsingular matrix, we explain why the resulting set of vectors is orthogonal up to the machine precision level. To establish this result, we show that a certain L-criterion is necessarily verified after the second reorthogonalization step, then we prove that this L-criterion implies th...

The common effect of NH4+, NO3-, KH2PO4 and sucrose on the biosynthesis of galanthamine by a Leucojum aestivum shoot culture was studied. Polynominal regression models were elaborated for the description of the galanthamine biosynthesis as a consequence of variation of the investigated variables (NH4+ between 0.20 and 0.54 g/L; NO3- between 1.44 and 3.44 g/L; KH2PO4 between 0.10 and 0.24 g/L, a...

We show that the secrecy function conjecture that states that the maximum of the secrecy function of an l-modular lattice occurs at 1/ √ l is false, by proving that the 4-modular lattice C = Z⊕ √ 2Z⊕ 2Z fails to satisfy this conjecture. We also indicate how the secrecy function must be modified in the l-modular case to have a more reasonable chance for it to have a maximum at 1/ √ l, and show t...

An L-DNA, the mirror-image isomer of natural DNA, has extraordinary nuclease resistance, and thus the molecules should be promising reagents for many applications, such as antisense technology. However, little is known about the structural and thermodynamic properties of DNAs with this modified nucleotide. In this study, we prepared the L-nucleotide (L-dA) and introduced it into oligodeoxyribon...
