The terahertz (THz) region offers a multitude of possibilities for new diagnostic techniques in biology. Advancements in terahertz sources and detectors have allowed such systems to be employed in investigations of biological tissues. Despite the limited science and technology compared to the neighboring spectral bands, there has been an increasing interest in THz radiation due to the many interesting biological phenomena that can be investigated in this frequency range—typically accepted to be from 0.1 to 10 THz. Plant and animal tissues were investigated using a system similar to the THz-time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) method. In THz-TDS, the electric field of the THz pulse is measured. Since the electric field has both amplitude and phase information, the absorption coefficient and refractive index of the sample can be obtained by Fourier transform of the electric field. In the mid-and far-infrared regions, THz-TDS and Fourier transform infrared are two complimentary spectroscopic methods.

Terahertz Propagation in Tissues and Its Thickness Limitation
Karagöz, Burcu; Altan, Hakan (2017-01-01)
The terahertz region offers a multitude of possibilities for new diagnostic techniques in biology. Recent advancements in terahertz sources and detectors have allowed such systems to be employed in investigations of biological tissues. The main interaction with such media is evident in the water content, which can be detrimental in certain instances such as deep tissue diagnostics and also be beneficial in others such as the detection of certain types of cancers. The field has developed to deal with such ch...
Enantioselective synthesis of new chiral 2-aziridinyl phosphonates and studies of their biological activities
Doğan, Özdemir; Beksultanova, Nurzhan; ALTANLAR, NURTEN; Simsek, Duygu; KARABIYIK, HASAN (2017-02-15)
A new series of chiral aziridinyl phosphonates has been synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. For the synthesis, a Gabriel-Cromwell reaction was used to form aziridinyl phosphonates in 52-83% yield. In order to evaluate antibacterial and antifungal activities, MIC values were measured. Although most of the compounds showed insignificant activity, two of them provided low to moderate antifungal activity.
Multi-view subcellular localization prediction of human proteins
Özsarı, Gökhan; Atalay, M. Volkan.; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
Determining the subcellular localization of proteins is crucial for Understanding the functions of proteins, drug targeting, systems biology, and proteomics research. Experimental validation of subcellular localization is an expensive and challenging process. There exist several computational methods for automated prediction of protein subcellular localization; however, there is still room for better performance. Here, we propose a multi-view SVM-based approach that provides predictions for human proteins. ...
Applications of the multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for development of molecular therapies for breast cancer
Aşık, Elif; Güray, Tülin; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Biotechnology (2015)
The understanding of how magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) interact with living system is one of the prerequisite pieces of information needed to be obtained before any further development for desired biomedical applications. In this study, Cobalt Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe-MNPs) in their naked and silica-coated forms were characterized. In vitro cell culture for their likely cytotoxicity and genotoxicity potential were examined. The apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, ROS formation and oxidative stress re...
Abiotic stress tolerance and growth responses of transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) plants expressing rice Osmyb4 gene
AYDIN, GÜLSÜM; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-23)
MYB transcription factors are involved in diverse biochemical and physiological processes such as regulation of secondary metabolism, meristem formation, cell morphogenesis and floral and seed development. They are also involved in certain defence and stress responses and in hormone signalling. In the present study, we developed transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) expressing Oryza sativa myb4 gene, encoding MYB4 transcription factor, driven by either CaMV35S constitutive promoter or cold i...
