In this work the electrooxidation half-wave potentials of some Benzoxazines were predicted from their structural molecular descriptors by using quantitative structure-property relationship (QSAR) approaches. The dataset consist the half-wave potential of 40 benzoxazine derivatives which were obtained by DC-polarography. Descriptors which were selected by stepwise multiple selection procedure ar...

Since the study of Al ion on the enzyme activity by using of electrochemical techniques was rarely found in available literatures, the differential-pulse polarography (DPP) technique was applied to study the effects of Al ion on the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity in the catalytical reaction of α-KG +NADH+NH4 ⇔ L-Glu+NAD+H2O by monitoring the DPP reduction current of NAD. At the plant an...

The Method of Standard Additions or The Standard Addition Method, often referred to by its acronym as just SAM, is a proverbial workhorse in both inorganic and organic quantitative analytical chemistry and in related disciplines such as geochemistry. Its advantage in mitigating the effects of matrix interferences compared with the calibration curve approach is well known and is one of its major...

The est~mat~on f cyanide IS generally done by titrimetry, colorimetry and polarography but each method has its own limitations. Argenlometric titration method IS not satisfactory at low cyanide concentralion at ppm levels. Distillation and colorimetry method is accurate but time consuming. Presence of large quant~t~es of chloride does not permit the use of ion selective electrodes. Other method...

The MicrotoxTM bioassay and polarographic techniques were used together to identify specific oxidation states and toxicity of metals. The bioassay is based on light reduction by bioluminescent bacteria upon exposure to toxicants. In polarography, a mercury drop substrate’s potential is changed, and the substance of interest is electrochemically reduced. Reduction current is proportional to its ...

The electrochemical behavior of 6-benzyl adenine (6-BA) has been studied in 0.1 mol L(-1) HAc-NaAc solution (pH 3.8). Cyclic voltammetry, single-sweep polarography and direct current polarography were employed to clarify the mechanism of the electrode process; the kinetic parameters of the rate-determining step were determined. Reduction of 6-BA involves two pH-dependent processes, correspondin...

A simple and rapid differential pulse polarographic method was developed for the trace determination of azathioprine. A welldefined polarogram with three peaks was obtained in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) with peak potentials -0.27 V, -0.73 V and -1.02 V. The current-concentration linearity was found extend up to 5 x 10 mol L (r = 0.9992) with minimum detection limit of 2.8x10 mol L. The values of r...

The electrochemical behaviour of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and its isolated protein was studied using differential pulse (DP) voltammetry at a graphite electrode and by direct current (DC) polarography in Brdicka solution. TMV and its isolated protein were found to be electrooxidized at the graphite electrode in the adsorbed state. Both species yielded two oxidation peaks on DP voltammograms. ...

For this special issue on 90 years of polarography, the following personal account describes how my early research in electrochemistry and polarography in the laboratory of Prof. Petr Zuman led to a major research effort in the determination of proteins for cancer detection and monitoring. It reviews the very recent history of nanoparticle labels and multiplexed detection in protein immunosenso...
