To determine whether Fourier transform (FT)-IR spectral analysis combined with multivariate analysis of whole-cell extracts from ginseng leaves can be applied as a high-throughput discrimination system of cultivation ages and cultivars, a total of total 480 leaf samples belonging to 12 categories corresponding to four different cultivars (Yunpung, Kumpung, Chunpung, and an open-pollinated varie...

A collection of bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus were analysed by diffuse reflectance absorbance and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in the mid-infrared. The diffuse reflectance absorbance method is a rapid whole organism fingerprinting method, which generates a biochemical profile of the bacteria, where samples are presented to the FT-IR spe...

Abstract A green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated Mentha longifolia root extract-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) nanohybrid material has been described. Initially, the was coated on GO’s surface. The phytochemicals plant acted as reducing agent for reduction ions and GO to form rGO- /Ag nanocomposite. nanocomposite characterized using FE-SEM, EDX, FT-IR, TEM, elemental ...

BACKGROUND Kidney stones are a common illness with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. The determination of crystalline and molecular composition and the quantification of all stone components are important to establish the etiology of stones disease but it is often laborious to obtain using the chemical method. The aim of this paper is to compare chemical spot test with FT-IR spectroscopy, for a ...

An evaluation of high-throughput Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) as a technology that could support a "metabonomics" component in toxicological studies of drug candidates is presented. The hypothesis tested in this study was that FT-IR had sufficient resolving power to discriminate between urine collected from control rat populations and rats subjected to treatment with a potent...

BACKGROUND Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) tyrosine kinase induces significant oncogenic effects. Strategies to block IGF-IR signaling are being tested in clinical trials that include patients with aggressive solid malignancies. Mantle cell lymphoma is a B-cell neoplasm with poor prognosis and a tendency to develop resistance. The expression and potential significance of IGF...

The purpose of this study is to develop a method of evaluating the enzymatic activity of trypsin in a solid-state based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra using chemoinformatics and two-dimensional (2-D) correlation spectroscopy. Crystalline trypsin powders are compressed at 0-4000 kg cm-2 by a compression/tension tester. The enzymatic activity of trypsin is assayed by the kinetic de...

a new fourier transform-infra red (ft-ir) spectrometric method was developed for assaying hydrochlorothiazide (hct) and enalapril maleate (enm) in binary solid pharmaceutical formulations. multivariate partial least squares (pls) method was used for calibration of derivative spectral data. acetonitrile was used as solvent due to its spectral transparency and adequate solubility of analytes in i...
