The classical malachite green (MLG) assay of phosphate, which added MLG after molybdate to the acidified reaction solutions of phosphate, tolerated interference from papaverine, sildenafil, and some similar hydrophobic amines. Resonance Rayleigh scattering signals, the alleviation of interference by poly(vinyl alcohol), and the precipitation of some yellow complexes supported that the irreversi...

Small-angle neutron scattering proved that molecules in aqueous solutions of pyridine, 2-methylpyridine and 2,6-dimethylpyridine form clusters. The clusters are dynamic aggregates consisting of hydrogen-bonded water-amine complexes. Strengthening of the hydrogen bonds between water and amine molecules due to the methyl groups in the ortho position in the pyridine ring makes the structures more ...

A novel biointerface bearing zwitterionic carboxybetaine moieties was developed for effective resistance to nonspecific adsorption of proteins and blood cells. Self-assembled thin films (SAFs) of (N,N-dimethylaminopropyl) trimethoxysilane were formed as mattress layers by either vapor or solution deposition. Subsequently, the tertiary amine head groups on SAFs were reacted with β-propiolactone ...

Novel superparamagnetic surface-active maghemite nanoparticles (SAMNs) characterized by a diameter of 10 ± 2 nm were modified with bovine serum amine oxidase, which used rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC) adduct as a fluorescent spacer-arm. A fluorescent and magnetically drivable adduct comprised of bovine serum copper-containing amine oxidase (SAMN-RITC-BSAO) that immobilized on the surface of ...

The radical anion spectra of C60 and C70 can be easily generated and studied in primary aliphatic amines. In these conditions the C60• and C70• species are accompanied by the dianions C60 and C70. In the near infrared region the electronic transitions at 1075, 1058 and 991 nm were assigned to C60• while those at about 1020-1030 nm and at 933 nm were assigned to the fullerene dianion C60 . The e...

It is well known that small amount Piperazine (PZ) enhance the CO2 absorption properties of tertiary amine aqueous solution. Because the tert-amine has the lower heat of reaction, the blended amine solution, tert-amine with PZ, is attractive for low energy absorbent. There are some reports about the investigation of the mechanism of the blended amine solution, however, there still a difficulty ...

Current DNA electrophoretic solutions employ high ionic concentrations and require long electrophoretic run times. Here we demonstrate that high and low molecular weight double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and RNA can be separated rapidly in agarose-based low-molarity conductive media. Separation of small DNA fragments was optimized by substituting 1-mM solutions of alkali metals ...
