Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge Jan 2005

Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Voltammetric, UV-vis spectroscopic and viscometric methods were used to investigate the interaction between norepinephrine and DNA. The results of square wave voltammetric and UV-absorption measurements have shown that norepinephrine was bound to DNA. Besides the electrostatic interaction between DNA and norepinephrine, hydrogen bonds and intercalation may also exist. Viscosity measurements also suggest that NE is bound to DNA via an electrostatic mode of interaction at lower norepinephrine concentrations. However, at higher concentrations of norpinephrine, the increase in the relative viscosity of DNA indicated that the intercalation is also involved in the binding. The binding constant and the binding site size …


Development Of Gold Porous Plate Electrode And Examination Of Its Performance For Iodine Determination, Ülkü Anik Kirgöz, Hüseyi̇n Tural Jan 2005

Development Of Gold Porous Plate Electrode And Examination Of Its Performance For Iodine Determination, Ülkü Anik Kirgöz, Hüseyi̇n Tural

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel procedure for the construction of a home-made gold porous plate electrode is described. A plate of silver and gold alloy was treated with nitric acid or alternatively by anodic oxidation to remove the silver component, leaving a porous surface having active sites for adsorption. The performance of the electrode developed was tested using iodine solution as analyte material. The parameters related to the working conditions were optimized before the examination of analytical characteristics. Under the optimal conditions, the voltammetric results show that the gold porous plate electrode offers the detection limit of 2.18 x 10^{-5} M and reproducibility …
