background glucose is an essential element in the supply of body’s energy. in diseases such as diabetes, glucose increase is associated with disturbance in metabolism. cortisol is an important hormone in the regulation of glucose metabolism, and human serum albumin (hsa) is one of the most important glucose and cortisol transmitters in blood. interaction between albumin and these ligands could ...

This paper reviews the best known techniques using circular dichroism spectroscopy such as conventional circular dichroism (i.e. electronic circular dichroism), magnetic circular dichroisms (magnetic vibrational circular dichroism, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism), fluorescence detected circular dichroism, near-infrared circular dichroism, vibrational circular dichroism, Fourier transform inf...

in the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. so far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. in these studies, use of spectroscopic method...

the surface parameter of nanoparticles such as hydrophobicity and a hydrophilicity on protein structure and function is very important. in this study, conformational changes of glucose oxidase (gox) in the mercaptopurine: gnps and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid: gnps as a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic gnps surface was investigated by various spectroscopic techniques, including: uv-vis absorption, f...

The effects of YBa2Cu3O72d ~YBCO! cap layers on the magnetic and electronic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 ~LSMO! underlayers was determined by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques. The YBCO caps alter the LSMO in a way that effectively decreases the concentration of La at the LSMO/YBCO interface. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~00!62908-0#

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and magnetic transmission soft x-ray microscopy (MTXM) experiments have been performed to gain insight into the magnetic anisotropy and domain structure of ultrathin Co9Ni multilayer films with a thin permalloy layer underneath. MTXM images with a spatial resolution better than 25 nm were obtained ...

hsa plays an important role in transporting metabolites and drugs throughout the vascular system.  in as much as its performance is very vital in the presents of different kinds of ligands at the specific body temperatures, its examination is crucial. this molecule can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. therefore, glucose as the one of the most fundamental ligands dealing with albumin in ...
