Study on the structure of hemoglobin in organic solvents by in situ STM

In situ STM has been used to study the structure of hemoglobin(Hb) in two kinds of organic media. In hydrophobic organic solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, the structure of Hb is almost the same as in aqueous solution, similar to its native structure. However, when in hydrophilic organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, the two dimers of Hb molecule become separate and unfold to a certain extent.

PHASE-TRANSFER CHEMISTRY OF HETEROPOLYANIONS .1. RESEARCH ON SOLVATION BEHAVIOR OF SUBSTITUTED KEGGIN AND DAWSON ANIONS IN THE NONPOLAR-SOLVENTS

The heteropolyanions of the Keggin structure ZW(11)O(39)M(H2O)(n-)(Z = Si, Ge, P; M = Ni2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Co2+, n = 4 similar to 6) and Dawson structure P(2)W(17)O(61)M(H2O)(n-)(M = Ni2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Co2+, n = 7, 8) have been transferred into the non-polar

ORGANIC-PHASE ENZYME ELECTRODE OPERATED IN WATER-FREE SOLVENTS

A new material, polyhydroxyl cellulose, and a refrigerating immobilization method were used to construct HRP-mediator electrode for determination of hydrogen peroxide in water-free organic solvents. Rapid and sensitive response was obtained. The enzyme el

RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES FOR CONCENTRATED-SOLUTION OF CHITOSAN - DEPENDENCE OF SOLVENTS

Rheological properties for concentrated solution of chitosan were investigated in different solvents, such as HCOOH, CH3COOH, HCl and 0.2 mol.dm-3 CH3COOH+ 0.l mol.dm-3 CH3COONa aqueous solutions. It was shown that viscosities and flow behavior of the sol

SOLID-STATE VOLTAMMETRY OF ELECTROACTIVE SOLUTES IN POLYMER SOLVENTS (PEO) AT ULTRAMICROELECTRODES

This paper describes the electrochemical oxidation and reduction of electroactive solutes which are dissolved in and diffusing through the polymer electrolyte solvent, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The characteristics of electrochemical reactions in polymeric solutions are discussed, including how rigid solvent environments affect mass transport rates, and the transport phenomenon of electroactive species in PEO with bathing gases is explained by using the voltammetric theory of ultramicroelectrodes. The possibility that the microelectrode coated with PEO film can be used as a gas sensor has been discussed.

THERMODYNAMICS OF AMINO-ACID DISSOCIATION IN MIXED-SOLVENTS .3. GLYCINE IN AQUEOUS GLUCOSE SOLUTIONS FROM 5-DEGREES-C TO 45-DEGREES-C

The first thermodynamic dissociation constants of glycine in 5, 15 mass % glucose + water mixed solvents at five temperatures from 5 to 45-degrees-C have been determined from precise emf measurements of a cell without liquid junction using hydrogen and Ag-AgCl electrodes and a new method of polynomial approximation proposed on the basis of Pitzer's electrolytic solution theory in our previous paper. The results obtained from both methods agree within experimental error. The standard free energy of transfer for HCl from water to aqueous mixed solvent have been calculated and the results are discussed.

ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF LIQUID/LIQUID SYSTEMS USING VARIOUS ORGANIC SOLVENTS

The potential windows of the system water/pure solvent (W/P) and water/solvent mixtures(W/S) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry with solvents whose dielectric constants lie between 5.87 and 34.82. In the presence of LiCI in the aqueous phase and tetrabutytammoniumtetraphenylborate(TBATPB) in the organic phase, the systems water/allyl iso-thiocyanate (W/AIT) and water/nitrobensene (W/NB) show a same wide epotential window. thermodynamic parameters of ion transfer W/AIT interface were determined. In systems of W/P and V/S the influence solvent effect on the standard gibbs energies of transfer of was discussed.

THE THERMODYNAMICS OF MICELLIZATION BY BLOCK COPOLYMER SEP IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS

The thermodynamics of micellization for polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene/propylene) two-Mock copolymer(SEP) in the mixtures of n-octane and benzene with different proportions have been studied in this paper, The critical micelle concentrations(GMC) of micelle solutions at various temperatures were measured by lost angle laser light scattering photometer(LALLS), The results shove that the micellization process of nonpolar copolymer SEP in hydrocarbon solvents ire exothermal, and the entropy change is negative, In contrast, far ordinary surfactants in water, it is the enthalpy contribution to the energy change which is responsible for micellization.
