Nonylphenol (NP) is a biodegradation product of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) group. APEs are widely used nonionic surfactants in detergents, herbicides, pesticides, paints, and cosmetics. The present work investigates the effects of NP on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) livers at the molecular level using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FT-IR spectra revealed dramatic differences between the NP-treated and control tissues, which mainly indicated that the level of triglycerides increased, the lipid order increased, and the protein concentration decreased in the treated samples. Moreover, it was also found that glycogen levels significantly decreased and the relative content of nucleic acids increased in NP-treated fish. The 17beta-Estradiol-treated fish liver spectra were found to be quite similar to those of NP-treated fish. All these results implied that rainbow trout may offer considerable promise to be used as a bioindicator for NP in the future

FT-IR spectroscopic analysis of rainbow trout liver exposed to nonylphenol Cakmak, G; Togan, İnci Zehra; Uguz, C; Severcan, Feride (SAGE Publications, 2003-07-01) Nonylphenol (NP) is a biodegradation product of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) group.

FTIR studies of vitamin E-cholesterol-DPPC membrane interactions in CH2 region Severcan, Feride; Baykal, U; Suzer, S (1996-06-01) Binary and ternary mixtures of alpha-tocopherol (alpha T), cholesterol and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in the form of multilamellar liposomes have been investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Investigation of frequencies, bandwidths and band shapes of CH2 stretching and scissoring bands indicate that the effect of alpha T is dominant in comparison with cholesterol and alpha T decreases the interaction of cholesterol with phospholipid membranes.
FTIR spectroscopic characterization of protein structure in aqueous and non-aqueous media Haris, PI; Severcan, Feride (1999-09-15) With increasing use of proteins in many different applications, ranging from phramaceuticals to biosensors and biomaterials, there has emerged a need for protein structural characterisation in diverse environments. In many cases it is not sufficient to just have the three-dimensional structure of a protein in H2O or in the crystalline state. Often information on the structural properties of a protein is required in the presence of organic solvents, detergent micelles, phospholipid membranes and so on. Fouri...
A prelude to the proximity interaction mapping of CXXC5 Ayaz, Gamze; Turan, Gizem; Olgun, Çağla Ece; Kars, Gizem; Karakaya, Burcu; Yavuz, Kerim; Demiralay, Oyku Deniz; Can, Tolga; Muyan, Mesut; Yasar, Pelin (2021-09-01) CXXC5 is a member of the zinc-finger CXXC family proteins that interact with unmodified CpG dinucleotides through a conserved ZF-CXXC domain. CXXC5 is involved in the modulation of gene expressions that lead to alterations in diverse cellular events. However, the underlying mechanism of CXXC5-modulated gene expressions remains unclear. Proteins perform their functions in a network of proteins whose identities and amounts change spatiotemporally in response to various stimuli in a lineage-specific manner. Si...
SVM-based detection of distant protein structural relationships using pairwise probabilistic suffix trees Ogul, Hasan; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan (2006-08-01) A new method based on probabilistic suffix trees (PSTs) is defined for pairwise comparison of distantly related protein sequences. The new definition is adopted in a discriminative framework for protein classification using pairwise sequence similarity scores in feature encoding. The framework uses support vector machines (SVMs) to separate structurally similar and dissimilar examples. The new discriminative system, which we call as SVM-PST, has been tested for SCOP family classification task, and compared ...
