background dermatophytosis is a cutaneous fungal infection with a worldwide occurrence. in dermatophyte infections, the release of keratinocyte cytokines, in the presence of dermatophyte antigens, causes an acute phase response; subsequently, the acute-phase proteins are produced by hepatocytes. mannose–binding lectin (mbl), an acute-phase protein, also acts as a kind of pattern recognition rec...

a thermodynamic study on the interaction between zinc ion (zn2+) and human growth hormone(hgh) was studied at two temperatures of 27c and 37c in aqueous solution using an isothermal titrationcalorimetry. it was found that there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for zn2+ ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 1.54...

a thermodynamic study of copper ions by jack bean urease (jbu) was carried out at two temperatures of 27 and 37?c in tris buffer (30 mm; ph=7.0) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of twelve identical and non-interacting binding sites for copper ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 285 µm and ?15.2 kj/mol at 27?c and 3...

a novel ternary schiff base ligand (hl) of ono type and its copper (ii) complex weresynthesised using 2-aminophenol and o-acetoacetotoluidide. they have been characterised by theusual analytical and spectral methods. the interaction of the complex with calf-thymus (ct)dna has been investigated by uv-vis, viscosity measurement, cyclic voltammetry anddifferential pulse voltammetry studies. the re...

most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. one of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isothermal...

two newly-created water-soluble complexes of palladium(ii)/platinum(ii)-dithiocarbamate, [pd/pt(phen)(pyr-dtc)]no3 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyr-dtc = pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) were synthesized. also, their chemical characteristics are reported in the current research paper. in these complexes, the dithiocarbamato ligand coordinates to pt(ii) or pd(ii) center with two sulfur atoms as bi...
