Automated Recognition Of Ergogenic Aids Using Soft Independent Modeling Of Class Analogy (Simca), M. Praisler, J. Van Bocxlaer, A. De Leenheer, D. L. Massart

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The introduction of effective drug testing procedures in doping control reduced, but did not eliminate, their abuse by athletes. The most important analytical challenge is the recognition of the new analog compounds. In attempts to circumvent existing controlled substance laws, slightly modified chemical structures (by adding or changing substituents at various positions on the banned molecules) are used. As a result, no substance belonging to a prohibited class may be used nowadays, even if it has not been specifically listed. We present a chemometric procedure acting as an automated GC-FTIR screening test detecting the molecular structural similarity of unknown compounds …

Comparison Of Supercritical Fluid And Solvent Extraction Of Feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium), Muammer Kaplan, Mark R. Simmonds, George Davidson Jan 2002

Comparison Of Supercritical Fluid And Solvent Extraction Of Feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium), Muammer Kaplan, Mark R. Simmonds, George Davidson

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) analyses are used to show that supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide is an effective means of extracting a range of components from feverfew samples. It was found that the specific compositions of solvent extracts and SFE extracts are different. The amounts of the presumed active ingredient parthenolide have been confirmed to be very variable. Feverfew seeds were particularly rich in parthenolide, while dried powdered samples contained less and, in one case, none at all. The tunability of SFE has been demonstrated, and it was shown that successive extractions …

An Investigation Of The Interaction Of 4-Membered Rings With Adjacent Carbanion Centers, Özden Özel Güven, N. Beki̇r Peyni̇rci̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of cyclobutylcarbinyl phenyl ketones was prepared and the rates of base catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange of \alpha -hydrogen atoms were compared with those of appropriate model compounds, to test the validity of an earlier finding, which suggested that a four-membered ring, like the three-membered ring, has the ability to stabilize an adjacent carbanion center. In this study, unlike the cyclopropyl group, no clearly defined stabilization of the adjacent carbanion center was detected by the 1-phenyl- and 1-p-nitrophenyl- substituted cyclobutyl groups and only a very slight rate enhancement by the 3-phenylcyclobutyl group was detected. Attempts to detect a stabilization of …

Effects Of Ozonation On Characteristics Of Aquatic Fulvic Acid, Şermi̇n Gül

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Aquatic fulvic acid (FA) treated with ozone was characterized by physical/chemical (dissolved organic carbon-DOC), spectroscopic (UV/VIS, IR, fluorescence), chromatographic (gel permeation chromatography-GPC) methods. The influence of ozonation on the subsequent water treatment process such as flocculation and chlorination was also examined. The DOC concentration of the 20 min ozonated FA samples was reduced only a small amount (5%) whereas the UV absorption reduced to a higher percent (40%). The IR spectra of ozonated samples showed a moderate attenuation of the double band and aromatic character of FA. Ozonation of the FA caused the fluorescence intensities to increase steadily with ozonation …


A Semi-Empirical Study On Metal Ion/Murexide Complexation, N. Zeynep Atay, Tereza Varnali Jan 2002

A Semi-Empirical Study On Metal Ion/Murexide Complexation, N. Zeynep Atay, Tereza Varnali

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Modeling of the metal ion/ligand complexation reactions between divalent metal cations (M^{2 +} ) and hydrophilic tridentate ligand murexide (Mu^{-} ) in water, water+glycerol, and in glycerol was carried out. Kinetic studies showed that the rate of the reaction is very dependent on the metal ion, with Zn^{2 +} > Ni^{2 +} , but, reactions are slower in dispersed glycerol than in dispersed water. Theoretical calculations, which have shown a metal ion dependence, were consistent with the experimental observations. The entropy values calculated in all solvents were negative and were similar in value, indicating that these spontaneous reactions are enthalpy driven.

Stabilization Of Papain By Modification With Chitosan, Ali̇ Kilinç, Seçi̇l Önal, Azmi̇ Telefoncu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Papain (EC 3.4.22.2) was immobilized on chitosan by adsorption and subsequent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized papain displayed a lower specific activity than did the native enzyme. The thermal stability of the immobilized papain, relative to that of the free enzyme, was markedly increased. The storage stability of the conjugated enzyme was enhanced such that more than 85% of the initial activity remained after a month storage at 45°C. The optimum pH of immobilized papain was shifted to the acidic region and enzyme stability was increased at pH levels below 3.5.


Steric Effects On The Oxidation Potential Of 1-Aryl Thioglycosides, Mehmet A. Oturan, Maurice Medebielle, Shirish A. Patil, Robert S. Klein Jan 2002

Steric Effects On The Oxidation Potential Of 1-Aryl Thioglycosides, Mehmet A. Oturan, Maurice Medebielle, Shirish A. Patil, Robert S. Klein

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical oxidation of several 1-arylthioglycosides has been studied by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile. We found that the oxidation potential of the \alpha anomer always occurs at a less positive oxidation potential than of the \beta anomer. The difference in the oxidation potential depends on the substituent attached on the C-3 of the sugar moiety and is greatly influenced by the stability of the radical cation obtained after the first electron transfer.

The Membrane Potentials Of Periderm And Cuticular Membranes, Aygül Şahi̇n, Yunus Çengeloğlu, Mustafa Ersöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The membrane potentials of periderm and cuticular membranes were measured with KCI and NaCl solution using Ag/AgCI electrodes. For the electromotive force (emf) measurements, the concentration in both compartments were brought to equilibrium with the 0.01 M concentration of KCI or NaCl solution, then the one side was kept constant and the other side changed. The estimation of the Donnan potential contribution to the membrane potential was carried out by taking into account the fixed charge concentration, C_x, value. From these measurements electrochemical characterization of the asymmetry and surface layers of the periderm and cuticular membranes can be described.
