Alzheimer's disease is a devastating cureless neurodegenerative disorder affecting >35 million people worldwide. The caused by toxic oligomers and aggregates of amyloid β protein the microtubule-associated tau. Recently, Lys-specific molecular tweezer CLR01 has been shown to inhibit aggregation toxicity multiple amyloidogenic proteins, including tau, disrupting key interactions involved in assembly process. Following up on these encouraging findings, here, we asked whether could protect...
Palladium, the building block of white gold, has been found to exhibit extraordinary properties in nanotechnological products produced recent years. The most prominent feature palladium is adsorbing and storing high levels hydrogen. Therefore, demand for world increased excessively 2000s. In present study, nanoparticles (PdNPs) were biosynthesized by extract Diospyros kaki leaves as bio-stimulator. D. kaki, also called persimmon, was collected a local area Istanbul Turkey. PdNP formation...
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) are used in many fields from electronics to medicine due their multifunctionality, and therefore, production with environmentally friendly methods is a current issue. In this study, biofabricated CuONPs were obtained by using the leaf extract of Acer palmatum plant originating Far East enlighten characteristics novel differentiating those existing literature.

In this process, the dried flowers extracts reduced zinc metal from precursor nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2.4H2O] stabilized within 6 h. Gold were in 10 min by addition of hydrogen tetracholoroaureate (III) hydrate to extract. Nanoparticles characterized through UV–vis, FTIR SEM. The synthesis ZnONPs AuNPs analyzed...
Improvement of the thermal properties coolants used in automobile radiators increases cooling performance engine. Metallic nanoparticle additives generally improve coolant. In this study, heat transfer characteristics a nanofluid prepared with bimetallic (CuO–ZnO) for automotive were experimentally investigated. Experiments made four different fluids under constant heating power. These are water-bimetal mixture 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% particulate additives. UA values exchanger calculated using...
Aim: A novel all solid-state contact PVC-membrane beryllium-selective electrode based on 4-hydroxybenzo-15-crown-5 ether as an ionophore is described. Results: The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 4% ionophore, 67% dioctyl sebacate (DOS), 28% poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and 1% potassium tetrakis (p-chloro)phenylborate (KTClPB) (w/w). PVCmembrane together Ag/AgCl reference exhibited sub-Nernstian response slope 22±1 mV/decade to beryllium ions from 1.0x10-6...
Abstract Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) were phytosynthesized by Laurus nobilis leaf extract, which was used as a reducing and capping agent. UV‐vis spectroscopy applied, the spectrum of CuONPs gave peak around 300 325 nm. An intense Fourier transform infrared between 4000 500 cm −1 wavelengths exhibited exterior functional groups CuONPs. The results scanning electron microscopy transmission revealed that green synthesized spherical in shape with sizes 90 250 Antibacterial activity...
Abstract Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) characteristics were improved by two techniques, Na-alginate entrapment and glutaraldehyde crosslinking prior to alginate entrapment, in order enhance the stability, functionality removal of dyes waste water. Free, entrapped crosslinked-entrapped enzymes compared activity assays, which indicated optimum temperature is 25 °C pH 4.0–5.0. Kinetics results showed that increased Vmax did not cause any significant decrease Km. The thermal resistance free...
This paper describes the formulation of archaeosomes and evaluation their abilities to facilitate in vitro DNA delivery. Lipids H.hispanica 2TK2 strain were used archaeosome formation, which is formulated by mixing lipids with plasmid encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) or β-galactosidase (β-gal). Archaeosome/pDNA formation unbound monitored agarose gel electrophoresis. The formulations visualized AFM TEM. zeta potential analysis showed be electronegative. composition dose for transient...
The ability of Archaea to adapt their membrane lipid compositions extreme environments has brought in archaeosomes into consideration for the development drug delivery systems overcoming physical, biological blockades that body exhibits against therapies. In this study, we prepared unilamellar archaeosomes, from polar fraction extracted Haloarcula 2 TK strain, and explored its potential as a vehicle. Rifampicin isoniazid which are conventional drugs tuberculosis medication were loaded...
Abstract A strain of Haloarcula hispanica isolated from Tuzkoy salt mine, Turkey exhibited extracellular lipolytic activity.
