background and objectives: lipases are valuable biocatalysts which are widely used in the detergent, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries. the aims of the present study included the isolation of a lipase-producer from industrial zones and the partial characterization of the enzyme. materials and methods: a number of bacteria were isolated from sites related to the oil industries. an isolat...

in this study, aggregation behavior of a water soluble cationic metalloporphyrin, meso-tetrakis (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-n,n´,n´´-trimethyl ammonium phenyl) porphyrin nickel(ii) [ni(ii)(tf4tmapp)]4+ is investigated in 5 mm aqueous phosphate buffer of ph 7.0 at 25.0 °c and various ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering spectroscopic methods. the results suggest that ...

in order to shed more light on the effect of peripheral groups of porphyrin core intophysicochemical properties and dna binding behavior of porphyrins, we have chosen toinvestigate solution properties and calf thymus dna binding behavior of meso-tetrakis (4-nbenzyl-pyridyl) porphyrin (tbzpyp) and its mn (iii), co (iii), ni (ii) and cu (ii) complexesderivatives have been studied in thermodynamic...

the interaction of dopamine and cysteine for formation of 5-s-cysteinyldopamine are investigated at thehartree-fock level theory. the structural and vibrational properties of 5-s-cysteinyldopamine are studiedat level of hf/6-31g*.interaction energy ( ae) is calculated -771.6923 kcal/mol rotational energy andthermodynamic parameters around two bond have been determined using hf/3-21g. changes of...

in this study, a series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the efficiency of hydroxyapatite (1-iap)nanopowders towards adsorption of lysozyme from aqueous solution. in the present research. i rp nanopowderssynthesized from egg-shell characterized using sem and ft-ht. the adsorption of lysozyme was i mg/ml using0.1 g adsorbent in 100 ml of lysozyme solution. adsorption data were f...

porophyrins and their metal derivatives are strong dna binders with association constant of  to  . some of these compounds have been used for the radiations sensitization therapy of cancer and are targeted to interact with cellular dna. binding of porphyrins to dna changes the expectral and other physic chemical characteristic of porphyrins, the mode of binding can be extracted from inspection ...

the interaction of fe2+ ion with pyrazole was theoretically studied by gussian 03, software at hf/(lanl2dz+6-31g) and hf/ (lanl2dz+6-31g (d)) levels in gas phase and solution. in this study acompartion between optimized structures of pyrazole molecule in aspect of thermodynamicparameters such as enthalpy (h°), gibbs free energy (g°) and entropy (s°) in presence of metallic ion(fe2+), was perfor...

in this study, the ashes of poplar tree leaves are applied as an efficient, accessible and inexpensive biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals pb2+ and cu+2 in aqueous solutions. in the adsorption processes, the success of the ions removal highly depends on the level of several experimental factors such as ph, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature. therefore, a genuine statistical e...

the interaction of p-sulphonatocalix [6] arene towards l-arginine and l-lysine has been studied inacidic aqueous solution (p1-1 2) using uv-vis spectrophotometric titration technique. the psulphonatocalix[6] arene was found to be able to form 1:1 complexe with amino acids in water.the values of the association constant were determined at different temperatures to evaluate thethermodynamic funct...
