An investigation of the decolorization of caeruloplasmin by acid.

ABSTRACT: 1. The acid decolorization of caeruloplasmin was studied at various temperatures and pH values. 2. Two decolorization reactions may be distinguished: (i) an irreversible reaction with the thermodynamic characteristics of a protein denaturation; (ii) the attainment of an equilibrium between blue and colourless forms of caeruloplasmin with apparent pK 3.7 at 25 degrees . 3. The low temperature-dependence of the equilibrium suggests that it does not involve a gross denaturative change. 4. The reversible decolorization occurred both aerobically and anaerobically, indicating that the change does not involve dissociation of a copper-oxygen complex. 5. Spectral changes during the decolorization are described. 6. The changes occurring during acid decolorization are discussed in relation to a formal model of the gross structure of caeruloplasmin.

Bacterial Decolorization of Textile Azo Dye Acid Orange by Staphylococcus hominis RMLRT03.

Project description:A bacterial strain RMLRT03 with ability to decolorize textile dye Acid Orange dye was isolated from textile effluent contaminated soil of Tanda, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh (India). The decolorization studies were performed in Bushnell and Haas medium (BHM) amended with Acid Orange dye. The bacterial strain was identified as Staphylococcus hominis on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence. The bacterial strain exhibited good decolorization ability with glucose and yeast extract supplementation as cosubstrate in static conditions. The optimal condition for the decolorization of Acid Orange dye by Staphylococcus hominis RMLRT03 strain were at pH 7.0 and 35°C in 60 h of incubation. The bacterial strain could tolerate high concentrations of Acid Orange dye up to 600 mg l(-1). The high decolorizing activity under natural environmental conditions indicates that the bacterial strain has practical application in the treatment of dye containing wastewaters.

Decolorization and biodegradation of textile di-azo dye Acid Blue 113 by <i>Pseudomonas stutzeri</i> AK6.

Project description:Textile industry is one of the anthropogenic activities that consume a large amount of water and pollute water bodies. It uses a massive amount of dyes, which is one of the main constituents of polluting textile effluent. In the present research, biodegradation of Acid Blue 113 dye, a commonly used textile di-azo dye, has been studied exploiting Pseudomonas stutzeri, strain AK6. The dye (300 ppm) was decolorized up to 86.2% within 96 h. The metabolites of Acid Blue 113 obtained after biodegradation were identified by various analytical techniques viz. HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Genome analysis of isolate AK6 using IMG/M (Integrated Microbial Genomes and Microbiomes) system supported the role of azoreductase and laccase for the decolorization and degradation of azo dye. The ability of P. stutzeri AK6 to tolerate high amount of dye makes it a potential candidate for bioremediation and pre-processing to remove dyes from textile effluents.

Anion-Dominated Copper Salicyaldimine Complexes-Structures, Coordination Mode of Nitrate and Decolorization Properties toward Acid Orange 7 Dye.

Project description:A salicyaldimine ligand, 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-(((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)imino)methyl)benzoic acid (H2Lsalpyca) and two Cu(II)-salicylaldimine complexes, [Cu(HLsalpyca)Cl] (1) and [Cu(HLsalpyca)(NO3)]n (2), have been synthesized. Complex 1 has a discrete mononuclear structure, in which the Cu(II) center is in a distorted square-planar geometry made up of one HLsalpyca- monoanion in an NNO tris-chelating mode and one Cl- anion. Complex 2 adopts a neutral one-dimensional zigzag chain structure propagating along the crystallographic [010] direction, where the Cu(II) center suits a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a τ value of 0.134, consisted of one HLsalpyca- monoanion as an NNO tris-chelator and two NO3- anions. When the Cu∙∙∙O semi coordination is taken into consideration, the nitrato ligand bridges two Cu(II) centers in an unsymmetrical bridging-tridentate with a μ, κ4O,O':O',O″ coordination. Clearly, anion herein plays a critical role in dominating the formation of discrete and polymeric structures of copper salicyaldimine complexes. Noteworthy, complex 2 is insoluble but highly stable in H2O and various organic solvents (CH3OH, CH3CN, acetone, CH2Cl2 and THF). Moreover, complex 2 shows good photocatalytic degradation activity and recyclability to accelerate the decolorization rate and enhance the decolorization performance of acid orange 7 (AO7) dye by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under daylight.

Investigation of colominic acid effects on immortalized Schwann cells

Project description:The purpose of the present study is to influence of CA coating on immortalized Schwann cells in vitro in comparison to standard culture conditions as well as to laminin as a positive standard. CA is a homopolymer of polysialic acid (PSA), which has â attached to the neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) â emerged as particulate attractive candidate for promoting morphological plasticity of axonal processes during axonal path finding and activity-dependent remodelling. For this purpose self-spotted microarrays with 352 neurospecific genes were hybridized with mRNA from immortalized Schwann cells cultivated on different coating conditions: In order to enable a comprehensive comparison to the established coating material laminin as well as to standard coating conditions (cultivation on the cell culture surface) a loop-design has been chosen, which is based on the dye-swap design and facilitates a direct comparison of the different states. Results from 3 microarrays are summarized in this study. The samples originate from different coatings. Microarrays were hybridized in a loop design with one common reference using a dye swap approach.

Copper:caeruloplasmin ratio.

Project description:Investigation of copper status can be a diagnostic challenge. The non-caeruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) has deficiencies; accordingly, the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio has been suggested as an alternative index of copper status. A reference interval for this index was derived. In addition to making the interpretation of copper easier, the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio should also enable adjustment for relatively high caeruloplasmin concentrations without recourse to producing gender- and age-derived intervals. The copper:caeruloplasmin ratio has weaknesses similar to those identified for NCC in that immunological methods used for caeruloplasmin can cross react with apocaeruloplasmin and there is no standardised method for caeruloplasmin. Caeruloplasmin assays also have uncertainty from precision, bias and specificity and, accordingly, method-related differences may have a large effect on the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio in a manner similar to the NCC.

Inhibitors of caeruloplasmin.

Project description:1. A method is described by which substances inhibiting caeruloplasmin oxidase activity directly may be distinguished from those acting on stimulatory contaminant iron or on the product of enzyme action. 2. Many previously reported inhibitors, including saturated aliphatic carboxylates, hydrazines, 1,10-phenanthroline, borate and various psycho-active drugs, are found either not to act on the enzyme or to inhibit it only weakly. 3. A series of inorganic anions are compared as inhibitors. Anions such as azide and cyanide with strong copper-binding properties are the most effective inhibitors. There is a general inverse relationship between anion size and inhibitory power. Iodide is anomalous, the order of effectiveness of halides being F(-)>I(-)[unk]Cl(-)>Br(-). 4. Multidentate copperchelating ligands have little inhibitory effect. 5. A group of substances containing the structural unit [unk]C=[unk].CO(2)H, including fumarate and benzoate, cause inhibition. 6. Relative inhibitions by a series of mono-substituted benzoates are inversely related to molecular size. 7. Results are discussed in relation to earlier work on the disposition and function of the copper atoms of caeruloplasmin.

Substituent effects on thermal decolorization rates of bisbenzospiropyrans.

Project description:[reaction: see text] A novel application of photochromic molecules is to mimic physiological oscillatory calcium signals by reversibly binding and releasing calcium ions in response to light. Substituent changes on the largely unexplored photochromic bisbenzospiropyran scaffold led to significant changes in thermal fading rates in several organic solvents. Excellent correlations have been found between fading rates and empirical Hammett constants as well as calculated ground-state energies. These correlations can be used to improve scaffold design.

Decolorization of the azo dye Acid Orange 51 by laccase produced in solid culture of a newly isolated Trametes trogii strain.

Project description:This study concerns the decolorization and detoxification of the azo dye Acid Orange 51 (AO51) by crude laccase from Trametes trogii produced in solid culture using sawdust as support media. A three-level Box-Behnken factorial design with four factors (enzyme concentration, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) concentration, dye concentration and reaction time) combined with response surface methodology was applied to optimize AO51 decolorization. A mathematical model was developed showing the effect of each factor and their interactions on color removal. The model predicted that Acid Orange 51 decolorization above 87.87 ± 1.27 % could be obtained when enzyme concentration, HBT concentration, dye concentration and reaction time were set at 1 U/mL, 0.75 mM, 60 mg/L and 2 days, respectively. The experimental values were in good agreement with the predicted ones and the models were highly significant, the correlation coefficient (R2) being 0.9. Then the desirability function was employed to determine the optimal decolorization condition for each dye and minimize the process cost simultaneously. In addition, germination index assay showed that laccase-treated dye was detoxified; however in the presence of HBT, the phytotoxicity of the treated dye was increased. By using cheap agro-industrial wastes, such as sawdust, a potential laccase was obtained. The low cost of laccase production may further broaden its application in textile wastewater treatment.
