The rate of diffusion through the non-aqueous layer of the protoplasm depends largely on the partition coefficients mentioned above. Since these cannot be determined we have employed an artificial system in which chloroform is used in place of the non-aqueous layer of the protoplasm. The partition coefficients may be roughly determined by shaking up the aqueous solutions with chloroform and ana...

in this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by cu2+/s2o82− process has beenpresented. cu2+ as photocatalyst and s2o82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.the influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as ph, concentration o...

Removal of deoxyribonucleic acid from meristematic onion root cells grown in solutions of kinetin, followed by metachromatic staining in azure B bromide, indicated the presence of appreciable amounts of ribonucleic acid in nuclei exposed to the cell division factor.

Methylene blue, currently in phase 3 clinical trials against Alzheimer Disease, disaggregates the Tau protein of neurofibrillary tangles by oxidizing specific cysteine residues. Here, we investigated if methylene blue can inhibit caspases via the oxidation of their active site cysteine. Methylene blue, and derivatives, azure A and azure B competitively inhibited recombinant Caspase-6 (Casp6), a...

Aneka is an Application Platform-as-a-Service (Aneka PaaS) for Cloud Computing. It acts as a framework for building customized applications and deploying them on either public or private Clouds. One of the key features of Aneka is its support for provisioning resources on different public Cloud providers such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure and GoGrid. In this chapter, we will present Aneka platfo...

Spectrophotometric measurements show that the non-medullated nerve of a lobster claw is capable of absorbing methylene blue, azure B, or acid fuchsin dissolved in sea water but this does not necessarily imply that the dyes penetrate into the interior of the nerve.
