copper (cu) is an essential trace element involved in normal reproduction but its over-exposure may produce some detrimental effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of purslane on copper sulfate poisoning on liver structures changes. twenty eight wistar rats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups. group i) control, group ii) copper sulfate (200 mg/kg bw were appl...

We have studied the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and the Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra of stanozolol and oxandrolone, and we have performed quantum chemical calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) with a B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level of theory. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were collected in a solid phase. The consistency between the calculated and experimental ...

BACKGROUND Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry has been used to measure small molecules in plasma. We wished to extend this use to measurement of plasma proteins. METHODS We analyzed plasma proteins, glucose, lactate, and urea in 49 blood samples from 35 healthy subjects and 14 patients. For determining the concentration of each biomolecule, the method used the following steps: (a...

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a physico-chemical method based on measurement of vibration of a molecule excited by IR radiation at a specific wavelength range. FT-IR spectra of bacterial cells can be used to analyze their total composition, including proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipopolysacharides. FT-IR techniques coupled with different chemomet...

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...

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...

The FT-IR, FT-Raman and SERS Spectra of 1-Chloro 4-Flurobenzene (C6H4CLF) have been recorded in the range 4000-400cm -1 , the optimized geometry,frequency and intensity of the vibrtional bands of C6H4CLFhave been obtained by DFT levels of theory with complete relaxation in the 6-311**G basis sets. A complete vibrational assignment, aided by the theoretical frequency analysis, has been proposed....

A high-throughput screening system for Citrus lines were established with higher sugar and acid contents using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in combination with multivariate analysis. FT-IR spectra confirmed typical spectral differences between the frequency regions of 950-1100 cm(-1), 1300-1500 cm(-1), and 1500-1700 cm(-1). Principal component analysis (PCA) and subsequent pa...
