Graphene oxide, a century old material has attracted the interest of researchers owing to its specific 2D structure and unique electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical electrochemical properties. The recent advancements in field biotechnology biomedical engineering are targeted at exploring biosensing applications graphene oxide due biocompatibility. It is considered be one most versatile materials, with wide range which can tailored by functionalization different oxygen containing groups...
The present paper reports on the use of modified activated carbon as an environmental friendly adsorbent, obtained from a green vegetable waste, for removal copper (II) wastewaters. was prepared waste by KOH treatment 24 h at 60 °C and thereafter evaluated studying effects pH, contact time, dosage initial concentration optimized in batch processing mode. morphological chemical changes were fully characterized SEM, TGA, DSC, FTIR techniques. Langmuir isotherm, yielded adsorption capacity 75.0...
The conformational state of biliproteins can be determined by optical properties the covalently linked chromophores. Recently crystal structure truncated form α-subunit cyanobacterial phycoerythrin (αC-PE) from Phormidium tenue provides a new insight into structure–function relationship αC-PE. To compare their stabilities, we have measured urea-induced denaturation transitions full length αC-PE (FL-αC-PE) and (Tr-αC-PE) followed observing changes in absorbance at 565 nm, fluorescence 350 573...
Abstract Molecularly imprinted polymers are important tools for the design of sensors and other molecular recognition based analytical systems. In this paper development a photoelectrochemical sensor selective bisphenol determination is reported. The on glass/ZnO/MIP‐Ppy structure consisting glass modified by ZnO layer (glass/ZnO), which functionalized molecularly conducting polymer polypyrrole (MIP‐Ppy). sensitivity to in range 0.7–12.5 µ m . Selectivity tests bisphenolic compounds...

Previous experimental studies on thermostable lipase from Shewanella putrefaciens suggested the maximum activity at higher temperatures, but with little information its conformational profile. In this study, three-dimensional structure of was predicted and a 60 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation carried out temperatures ranging 300 to 400 K better understand nature level. MD simulations were performed in order predict optimal lipase. The results strong temperature dependence. maintained...
