A new route to synthesis of nanocomosites by using an unsaturated polyester matrix
Toprak, Pelin; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of organoclay type and concentration on the nanocomposites synthesized by أIn-Situ Polymerizationؤ and أPrepolymerizationؤ methods. In-Situ Polymerization Method was in fact a new route which consisted of dispersing the monomers; propylene glycol, maleic anhydride and o-phthalic anhydride into the galleries of montmorillonite followed by subsequent polymerization. The Prepolymerization Method involved the addition of montmorillonite to the previously synth...
The effect of arginine-428 mutation on modulation of activity of human liver flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) by imipramine and chlorpromazine
Adalı, Orhan; Philpot, RM (1999-07-01)
This study was carried out to investigate the molecular basis for modulation of recombinant FMO3-catalyzed activity by the tricyclicantidepressants, imipramine and chlorpromazine. A mutant of human liver FMO3 (T428R) was formed by site-directed mutagenesis and characterized along with the native enzyme in order to elucidate a possible structure-function relationship. Functional properties of native and T428R human FMO3s were studied with methimazole as substrate. Both enzymes catalyzed the S-oxidation of me...
Investigation of bioprocess parameters for glucose isomerase production by Bacillus thermoantarcticus
Haykır, Işık; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
In this study, the effects of bioprocess parameters on glucose isomerase roduction by Bacillus thermoantarcticus (DSMZ 9572) were investigated. For his purpose, firstly, in laboratory scale shake-bioreactors, a defined medium was designed in terms of its carbon and nitrogen sources, to achieve the highest glucose isomerase activity. Optimum concentrations of medium components were determined by a statistical approach, namely Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM defined the relationship between the respon...
Evaluating microemulsions for purification of beta-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis
Mazı, Bekir Gökçen; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2010)
In this study, we evaluated the potential of water-in-oil microemulsions for the separation of beta-galactosidase (lactase) from other proteins. The ability of beta-galactosidase to break down the milk carbohydrate lactose gives the enzyme considerable commercial importance. The extent of solubilization of a commercial Kluyveromyces lactis preparation of beta-galactosidase into microemulsion droplets formed from 200 mM bis (2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane was measured as a function of...
Influences of halloysite nanotubes on crystallisation behaviour of polylactide
Kaygusuz, I.; Kaynak, Cevdet (2015-03-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate influences of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the (i) isothermal and (ii) non-isothermal crystallisation kinetics of polylactide (PLA) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses, and (iii) crystallinity of injection moulded and then annealed specimens by DSC and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Owing to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, addition of HN...
