Turbidity technique was employed to study the mutual interaction of melittin and vitamin D-2 With 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers. Ln addition, the data obtained from the phase transition curve is used to calculate the main phase transition temperature, conformational stability and activation energy values by using two state transition thermodynamic approach. The results indicate that melittin decreases the main phase transition temperature and also dramatically decreases the stability. Melittin on its own has disordering effect on phospholipid membrane structure. At low concentrations (3, 6 mol %) vitamin D-2 does not alter the main phase transition temperature, whilst the main phase transition temperature significantly decreases upon addition of a high concentration of vitamin D-2 (12 mol %). Stability values of mutual interaction of vitamin D-2 with DPPC indicates that vitamin D-2 has an ordering effect. Moreover, the activation energy increases as vitamin D-2 concentration increases.

Vitamin D-2 modulates melittin-membrane interactions Severcan, F; Durmus, HO; Eker, F; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Haris, PI (2000-10-02) In the present work, mutual interaction of melittin, a pore forming hemolytic toxin from bee venom, and vitamin D-2, an antioxidant steroid, with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes has been investigated. Turbidity and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic measurements, in combination with thermodynamic calculations, were used to monitor the modulating effect of vitamin D-2 on a melittin-DPPC membrane system. The results indicate that melittin on its own decreases the ma...
Enantioselective chemoenzymatic synthesis of oseltamivir (tamiflu)(r) intermediates Eşiyok, Hacı; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biotechnology (2008) The objective of this presented study was to synthesize optically active compounds considered to be key intermediates in the synthesis of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) by performing chemical and biotechnological methods. Thereof, the carboethoxy cyclohexenone skeleton first was synthesized utilizing easily available substances. The synthesis of alpha-hydroxy ketones in enantiomerically pure form offers a great importance in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Toward this fact, the enantioselective synth...
Competitive effect of vitamin D-2 and Ca2+ on phospholipid model membranes: an FTIR study Toyran, N; Severcan, Feride (2003-04-01) The interaction of Ca2+, with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membranes was studied in the presence and absence of vitamin D-2 by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Addition of vitamin D-2 and/or Ca2+ into pure DPPC liposomes shifts the phase transition to higher temperature, orders and decreases the dynamics of the acyl chains in both phases and does not induce hydrogen bond formation in the interfacial region. Moreover, the dynamics of the head group of the phospholipid decreases ...
Microwave assisted synthesis of La-1 (-) xCaxMnO3 (x=0, 0.2 and 0.4): Structural and capacitance properties Tabari, Taymaz; Singh, Dheerendra; Calisan, Atalay; Ebadi, Mehdi; Tavakkoli, Haman; Caglar, Basar (2017-12-01) The effect of calcium incorporation on the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the LaMnO3 (LM) perovskites was studied via several techniques. Moreover, a new microwave assisted method was used to synthesize La(1-x)Ca(,)M(x)nO(3)(LCM) perovskites with various calcium content (x = 0.2 and 0.4). Then, the physicochemical properties of the materials such as crystal structure, particle size, surface area, reducibility and band gap energy were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), High resolutio...
Investigation of biologically important small molecules: quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations Tekin, Emine Deniz; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2010) In this thesis, six small molecules (S-allylcysteine, S-allyl mercaptocysteine, allicin, methyl propyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide and dipropylsulfide) that are found in garlic and onion, and are known to be beneficial for human health were studied using molecular mechanics, semi-empirical methods, ab-initio (Restricted Hartree Fock), and density functional theory. Using the same methods, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide molecule, called cyfluthrin, was also studied. Structural, vibrational and electron...
