Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The electrochemical behaviour of complexes of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) with Ni(II) was studied. It was observed that EBT forms 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with Ni(II) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 by using Square-wave voltammetry (SWV), Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Direct Current Polarography (Sampled DCP) and Controlled Potential Coulometry (CPC). It was found that the reduction processes of Ni(II)-EBT complexes are irreversible. The stability constants of the Ni(II)-EBT complexes were evaluated with the DeFord-Hume procedure at different ligand concentrations using SWV. The logarithm values of stability constants of 1:1 and 1:2 Ni(II)-EBT complexes are 8.17 and 11.17, respectively.

Evidence For A Hybrid Ping Pong-Semirandom Mechanism For Human Jejunal Glutathione Disulfide Reductase, Nazmi̇ Özer, İzzet Hamdi̇ Öğüş
Evidence For A Hybrid Ping Pong-Semirandom Mechanism For Human Jejunal Glutathione Disulfide Reductase, Nazmi̇ Özer, İzzet Hamdi̇ Öğüş
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Initial rate versus substrate concentration, [S], profiles (at pH 7.4, 37^oC) for human jejunal glutathione disulfide reductase indicated partial substrate inhibition by GSSG at fixed [NADPH] \le 40 \mu M. Saturation by NADPH assumed an increasingly sigmoidal character at fixed [GSSG] \ge 20 \mu M. The results were interpreted in terms of a hybrid ping pong-semirandom mechanism proceeding through both E.NADPH (ping pong pathway) and E.GSSG (ordered pathway) complexes. When V(apparent) versus [GSSG] and [NADPH] were plotted, hyperbolic curves were obtained. Plotting 1/Vm(apparent) versus 1/[NADPH] and 1/[GSSG] yielded two lines with different slopes but intersecting at the same point on …

The kinetic parameters such as energy of activation (E^o ) and order of reaction (n) were also determined.
Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş
Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Bovine insulin solutions (pH=9.3) have maximum absorption at 278 \pm 2 nm and an intrinsic emission at 305 nm when excited at 282 nm. The relative fluorescence intensities show linear dependence on its concentration: 10 \mug/mL< [Ins] < 200 \mug/mL. When Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-} tris complex is added to these solutions, it has a hyperchromic effect at 278 nm absorption band of insulin, sensitizing the emission intensities of central Eu^{3+} metal ion of the complex at 590 and 615 nm, and simultaneously quenching the emission intensity of hormone at 305 nm. Stern-Volmer plots show that a mechanism of bimolecular quenching at 305 nm and sensitization at 615 nm are valid up to a mole ratio, R = [Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]/[Ins] < 2.0. An intramolecular rather than an intermolecular energy transfer is proposed. An apparent binding constant, log K_{app}=4.70 \pm 0.13, is calculated for Ins-[Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]_{2} type product, the presence of which may offer a new luminescence technique as a diagnostic tool and an alternative to radio-iodinated (^{131}I -) insulin. A simple, rapid and accurate quantitation of insulin is proposed by using a fixed concentration of Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}, and measuring its initial F_{0} at \lambda_{exc}/ \lambda_{em}=282/615 nm and the difference, \DeltaF after sensitization when \sim 100 microliters of insulin sample is added. The coefficient of variation (CV), the relative error and minimum detectable amount of bovine insulin hormone are found to be 3.0%, 1.2% and 7.3 \pm 0.2 \mug /mL respectively.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The cycloaddition reactions of cis-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene cis-2 and trans-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene trans-2 with various dienophiles such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), p-benzoquinone, maleic anhydride, tetracyanoethylene, naphtoquinone gave monoaddition products 15-23. Further addition of benzyne and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 18 resulted in the formation of the compounds syn-25 and syn-26 having pyramidalized double bonds. The addition of benzyne to 21 and the addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 21, 22 and 23 gave the anti configuration products anti-26, 27 and 28, respectively. X-ray structures of syn-25, syn-26 and anti-26 show the pyramidalized angles to be 16.5^o, 19.9^o and 8.0^o, respectively.
Cross-Correlation Noise Studies In Atomic Magnet-Optic Rotation Spectroscopy, Ahmet T. İnce
Cross-Correlation Noise Studies In Atomic Magnet-Optic Rotation Spectroscopy, Ahmet T. İnce
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Analytical signals in an Atomic Magneto-Optic Rotation spectrometer are buried in noise at the limit of detection. The noisy analytical signals were analysed by carrying out mathematical correlation of their time domain waveforms. The noise components of signals were removed by auto-correlation to simplify the study. If noise interferes in analytical signals whose source is unclear, a cross-correlation of the output waveform with noise source may identify the source, e.g., mains frequencies and background radio signals. A cross-correlation will reveal whether the two signals are derived from the same source. This can also lead to an improvement in the signal …
