The myriad applications of metal nanoparticle systems have individual demands on their size, shape and electronic states, demanding novel synthetic methods to optimise these properties. Herein we report our method exploiting strong thiol-Pd binding as a precursor for forming small, uniform Pd nanoparticles activation. We validate approach with range characterisation techniques contrast design s...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate thiol-disulphide homeostasis in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) during attack and remission. Design and Methods: A total of 82 patients admitted to our clinic were divided into 2 groups according to whether they are having an attack or not. Peripheral blood samples were taken from all patients and their native thiol, disulphide and total th...

The inactivation of beef liver porphobilinogen synthase by the alkylating agents iodoacetate and iodoacetamide has been investigated. The synthase can be inactivated by these reagents only if the enzyme has been activated initially by sulfhydryl reducing agents. Inactivation by both iodoacetate and iodoacetamide was the result of modification of cysteinyl residues. A plot of the incorporation o...

Normal human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was treated with radioactive N-ethylmaleimide in the absence of a reducing agent but in the presence of a denaturing solvent. The sites of reaction were determined by isolation of the radioactive peptides from thermolytic digests ofthe heavy and light chains. Six radioactive peptides were purified from the digest of the light chain and ten from that of the he...

The ability of surfactant-like compounds to inhibit the corrosion aluminum in NaCl solution was systematically investigated. basic idea this study scrutinize effect type backbone chain (alkyl and perfluoroalkyl), length (number carbon atoms 7, 10, 17), various anchor groups (carboxylic, thiol, imidazole) presence alkylene benzene spacers between perfluoroalkyl group. To tackle these effects, th...
