An electrochemical aptasensor for detection of trace amounts of aflatoxin M1 was developed. This required immobilization of aptamer on screen printed gold electrode comprising of working electrode, counter electrode and reference electrode and was achieved by sequentially layering dithiodipropionic acid, streptavidin and biotinylated-tetraethylene glycol-aptamer. Immobilization of aptamer was m...

The thermophilic bacteriophage TP84 is dissociated into its head, tail, and released deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and phosphate. The phage is more sensitive to EDTA than to phosphate, and dialysis against either agent causes more effective dissociation than standing in their presence. The tail possesses a knobbed structure which ...

Submandibular glands from male rats were homogenized in 0.34 M sucrose and 0.5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in 10 mM HEPES buffer at a pH of 7.4. The extract was centrifuged and filtered through nuclepore filters to prepare a granule-rich fraction. Electron dense zymogen granules constituted approximately 85% of the particles in this fraction which also contained about a third of the tota...

Abstract Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA) can form stable complexes with many metals. To improve the leaching rate of gold and consumption thiosulfate, EDTA ammonia were combined copper ions to a copper-EDTA-ammonia-thiosulfate system. Electrochemical methods used study effect ion, EDTA, polarization voltage. The results showed that increasing concentrations ions, promoted dissol...

Secondarily marine vertebrates are thought to live independently of fresh water. Here, we demonstrate a paradigm shift for the widely distributed pelagic sea snake, Hydrophis (Pelamis) platurus, which dehydrates at sea and spends a significant part of its life in a dehydrated state corresponding to seasonal drought. Snakes that are captured following prolonged periods without rainfall have lowe...

Soft polymer actuators have myriad applications and therefore gained considerable attention in recent years. However, it remains challenging to prepare soft with predefined shapes. Here, a bilayer actuator (re)programmable shape is prepared from microporous anisotropic polypropylene scaffold thin, pH-responsive liquid crystalline network (LCN) layer. The hydrogen bonds between dimerized benzoic...

The 5'-nucleotidase of Escherichia coli was shown to be located at the cell wall surface by histochemical techniques utilizing the deposition of inorganic phosphate. Penetration of the 5'-nucleotidase in the periplasmic space was seen only in cells treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris). The 3'-nucleotidase of E. coli was also found to have a ...
