Chromatography of lung microsomal cytochrome b5 obtained from DEAE-cellulose columns, yielded two distinct cytochrome b5 fractions, These cytochrome b5 fractions were further purified by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography. The specific cytochrome b5 content of fraction 1 and fraction 2 was found to be 16.5 and 16.4 nmol/mg protein respectively. Both fractions were free of cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activities. The effects of lung cytochrome b5 (fraction 1 and fraction 2) and liver cytochrome b5 on benzphetamine N-demethylase activity were examined, Four different reconstitution systems were used, Lung cytochrome b5 fraction 2 and liver cytochrome b5 stimulated N-demethylase activity in all four systems when b5:P-450 molar ratio was low, i.e. 0.25 or 0.5, Both cytochrome b5 samples inhibited N-demethylase activity when b5:P-450 ratio exceeded 1:1 molar ratio, In contrast lung cytochrome b5 fraction 1 stimulated N-demethylase activity in all four systems, Maximal enhancement of the activity was obtained when b5:P-450 ratio was 0.5. The greatest increase in N-demethylation activity was observed in the reconstitution system with the lowest concentration of cytochrome P-450 reductase, conditions which most closely resemble intact microsomes.

An investigation of the chemical synthesis and high-temperature sintering behaviour of calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bioceramics Tas, AC; Korkusuz, Feza; Timucin, M; Akkas, N (1997-02-01) The experimental conditions for the synthesis of sub-micrometre, spherical particles of calcium hydroxyapatite [Ca,,(PO,),(OH),] (HA) and tricalcium phosphate [Ca,(PO,),] (TCP) are investigated through chemical coprecipitation from the aqueous solutions of calcium nitrate and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate salts. The precipitation process employed was also found to be suitable for the production of sub-micrometre HA/TCP composite powders in situ. The synthesized pure HA and TCP powders were found to be stab...
Influence of the sol-gel preparation method on the photocatalytic NO oxidation performance of TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxides Polat, Meryem; Soylu, Asli M.; Altunöz Erdoğan, Deniz; Erguven, Huseyin; Vovk, Evgeny I.; Ozensoy, Emrah (2015-03-01) In the current work, TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxide photocatalysts were synthesized via two different sol-gel protocols (P1 and P2), where various TiO2 to Al2O3 mole ratios (0.5 and 1.0) and calcination temperatures (150-1000 degrees C) were utilized in the synthesis. Structural characterization of the synthesized binary oxide photocatalysts was also performed via BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic NO(g) oxidation performances of these binary oxides were m...
EFFECT OF ION ASSOCIATION ON THE PROPERTIES OF IONOMERS OBTAINED FROM METHYL-METHACRYLATE METHACRYLIC-ACID COPOLYMER KOCAK, HI; ARAS, L (Elsevier BV, 1990-07-01) The solution behaviour of Na, Ba, Zn and Al ionomers of methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer (P(MMA-MAA)) with different ion contents has been studied by viscosity and dipole moment measurements. Two solvents with different character are chosen for viscosity measurements: dioxane (ε = 2.22) and acetone (ε = 20.7). The expected polyelectrolyte behaviour of the ionomers in acetone is reflected by the viscometric measurements. Mean squared dipole moment 〈μ2〉 values are calculated over a temperature r...
Effect of impact modifier on the properties of poly (ethylene terephthalate)-organoclay nanocomposites Yılmazer, Ülkü; Alyamac, Elif (2006-11-30) The effects of component concentrations and addition order of the components, on the final properties of ternary nanocomposites composed of amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) matrix, organically modified clay, and an ethylene / methyl acrylate / glycidyl methacrylate (E-MAGMA) terpolymer were studied. All formulations were prepared by melt compounding of the components with a two-step mixing procedure in a corotating twin-screw extruder. Considering the X-Ray Diffraction, SEM, impact and strain at brea...
Effect of sodium carbonate on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride Akyıldız, Uğur; Sevinç, Naci; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) Effect of Na2CO3 on formation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) by carbothermic method has been studied by subjecting B2O3-C and Na2CO3-added B2O3-C mixtures to N2 (g) atmosphere. Na2CO3 amount in the mixtures was changed in the range of 0-40 wt. %. Time and temperature were used as experimental variables. Reaction products were analyzed by XRD and scanning electron microscope. Na2CO3 was found to increase both the amount and the particle size of h-BN similar to CaCO3 [1]. Na2CO3 was found to be less effect...
