Evidence For A Hybrid Ping Pong-Semirandom Mechanism For Human Jejunal Glutathione Disulfide Reductase, Nazmi̇ Özer, İzzet Hamdi̇ Öğüş Jan 2001

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 …

Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş Jan 2001

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.

Cross-Correlation Noise Studies In Atomic Magnet-Optic Rotation Spectroscopy, Ahmet T. İnce Jan 2001

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 …

Secondary Amine Mediated Ring-Opening Of Tetrahydroimidazo[1,5- B ][1,2,4]Oxadiazol-2(1 H )-Ones, Necdet Coşkun

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

5,6,7,7a-Tetrahydroimidazo [1,5- b ][1,2,4]oxadiazol-2(1 H )-ones 1a-g converted to imidazoles in the presence of secondary amines. cis-Imidazooxadiazolones 1d-g gave the imidazoles 4d-g when treated with secondary amines, while the treatment of these compounds with tertiary amines afforded imidazoline 3-oxides 5d-g. In case of 1a-c, where R^1 is a hydrogen, tertiary amines induced elimination to give imidazoles 4a-c. In the case of 1a-c, probable trans elimination caused by triethylamine and pyridine and in the case of 1d-f, a concerted double cis elimination mediated by secondary amines is discussed.
