Glutamate-134 (E134) is proposed to act as the general acid/base during the hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by the dapE-encoded N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) from Haemophilus influenzae. To date, no direct evidence has been reported for the role of E134 during catalytic turnover by DapE. In order to elucidate the catalytic role of E134, altered DapE enzymes were prepared in which E134 was substituted with an alanine and an aspartate residue. The Michaelis constant (K m) does not change upon substitution with aspartate but the rate of the reaction changes drastically in the following order: glutamate (100% …


First- And Second-Derivative Spectrophotometry For Simultaneous Determination Of Copper And Cobalt By 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol In Tween 80 Micellar Solutions, Habibollah Eskandari, Ali Ghanbari Saghseloo, Mansour Arab Chamjangali Jan 2006

First- And Second-Derivative Spectrophotometry For Simultaneous Determination Of Copper And Cobalt By 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol In Tween 80 Micellar Solutions, Habibollah Eskandari, Ali Ghanbari Saghseloo, Mansour Arab Chamjangali

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) has been used for the simultaneous determination of copper and cobalt at trace levels. PAN at pH 1.89 forms red and green complexes with copper and cobalt, respectively, which are soluble in aqueous Tween 80 micellar media and are stable for at least 3 days. Under optimum conditions, calibration graphs were obtained for individual determination of copper and cobalt by zero- and first-derivative spectrophotometry and for simultaneous determination by first- and second-derivative spectrophotometry. Zero-crossing first-derivative spectrophotometry at 555 and 581 nm for cobalt and copper was used for the simultaneous determination, respectively. The second derivative method at 577 …


Template Synthesis And Structural Characterization Of Homo Binuclear Chromium(Iii), Manganese(Iii), Iron(Iii), Cobalt(Iii), And Ruthenium(Iii) Complexes With Octaazamacrocyclic Ligands, Vinod K. Sharma, Shipra Srivastava Jan 2006

Template Synthesis And Structural Characterization Of Homo Binuclear Chromium(Iii), Manganese(Iii), Iron(Iii), Cobalt(Iii), And Ruthenium(Iii) Complexes With Octaazamacrocyclic Ligands, Vinod K. Sharma, Shipra Srivastava

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The Schiff base octaazamacrocyclic ligands derived from primary diamines and 3,6-dimethyl/diphenyl-4,5-diazaocta-3,5-diene-2,7-dione, and their binuclear complexes [M_2LCl_4]Cl_2 [M = Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(III), or Ru(III)] and [Mn_2L(AcO)_4](AcO)_2 were synthesized by template condensation reactions. Attempts to synthesize the corresponding metal-free macrocyclic ligands did not prove successful. The overall geometry and stereochemistry of these complexes were elucidated by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibilities, electronic spectra, infrared spectra, molar conductance measurements, ^1H NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis. All the trivalent metal ion complexes appear to be 1:2 electrolytes. An octahedral geometry is proposed for all the complexes.


Exploration Of Iron And Cobalt Core-Shell Nanoparticles Via Thermal And Microwave Polyol Synthesis, Hope M. Klukovich Jan 2006

Exploration Of Iron And Cobalt Core-Shell Nanoparticles Via Thermal And Microwave Polyol Synthesis, Hope M. Klukovich

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Thermal and microwave polyol methods were investigated in the synthesis of various iron and cobalt core-shell nanoparticles. The reaction involved 1 mmol of an Fe+2 or Co+2 salt, bis-acetylacetanato [(Acac)2] iron (II), cobalt (Acac)2 or iron (II) acetate along with 1 mmol of a surfactant capping agent. The salt was reduced with 2 mmol of a 1,2 diol. When 1,2-hexadecanediol solid was used as a reducing agent, it was dissolved along with the metal salt and capping agent in octyl ether. When 1,2-hexanediol liquid was used as the reducing agent, it was also the solvent, and octyl ether …
