Small angle x-ray scattering and viscometric analyses of the alpha-zeins of maize in solution indicated that the molecules were asymmetric. Structure predictions of consensus sequences for the two classes of alpha-zeins, Z19 and Z22, were in good agreement with the alpha-helical contents determined by circular dichroism. Dimensions determined by small angle x-ray scattering and viscometry indic...

A range of ionic liquids containing dialkylimidazolium cations and halobismuthate anions ([BiBr(x)Cl(y)I(z)](-) and [Bi2Br(x)Cl(y)I(z)](-)) were synthesised by combining dialkylimidazolium halide ionic liquids with bismuth(III) halide salts. The majority were room temperature liquids, all with very high densities. The neat ionic liquids and their mixtures with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(tr...

Pili isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK were solubilized in the detergent octyl-glucoside. Subsequent removal of the detergent by dialysis resulted in the formation of short rods of about 9 nm in diameter and various lengths. The aggregation process was followed by ultracentrifugation, viscometry, and electron microscopy to show that the aggregates produced in this way are distinct from p...

A laboratory-made sample of the polysaccharide xylinan (acetan) has been further characterized with respect to ( i ) purity, (ii) molar mass and polydispersity, and (iii) gross conformation by a combination of hydrodynamic measurements (sedimentation velocity and equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation, viscometry, and dynamic light scattering) in aqueous NaCl (I = 0.10 mol. L-'). Sedimentat...

We fabricated a He-3 immersion cell for transport measurements of semiconductor nanostructures at ultra low temperatures and in strong magnetic fields. We have a new scheme of field-independent thermometry based on quartz tuning fork Helium-3 viscometry which monitors the local temperature of the sample's environment in real time. The operation and measurement circuitry of the quartz viscometer...

Real-time interferometric monitoring of the dip coating process is applied to the study of properties of flowing liquids. Nonvolatile Newtonian oils are considered, allowing validity of a simple model after the steady state is reached where film physical thickness depends on time as t(-1/2). Measurement of two distinct mineral oil standards, under several withdrawing speeds, resulted in kinemat...

The aim of the research was to quantify consistency defrosted aerated fermented milk desserts. objects were samples desserts with a mass fraction fat 2.5%, in one whey protein concentrate used (WPC). Rotational viscometry, penetrometric and thermostatic methods used. It has been established that use WPC allows increasing dynamic viscosity by 4.5 times, mixture overrun 1.4 dimensional stability ...

• Complex formation of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) with molecular iodine has been studied in aqueous solutions. Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) exhibits greater ability to bind compared Iodophors based on exhibited similar antimicrobial properties. Formation iodophors by interactions dissolved solutions addition potassium iodide ethanol using a range physicochemical techniq...

Six generations of lactodendrimers based on poly(amidoamine) were studied in dilute solutions of 0.2 M NaCl by methods of molecular hydrodynamics (velocity sedimentation and viscometry) and optics (static and dynamic light scattering). Molecular weights, sedimentation and diffusion coef®cients, and intrinsic viscosity values were measured. These data were analysed and compared with previous res...
