Modification of protein secondary structure as an indicator of radiation-induced abscopal effect: A spectroscopic investigation.

In this study, we investigate the abscopal effect induced in the brain, lung and kidney as a result of partial irradiation of experimental animals with 2 Gy γ-rays. Modifications in the protein secondary structure were used as indicator for the abscopal effect. FTIR spectroscopy and analysis of the amide I and amide II absorption bands suggested possible modifications in the protein secondary structure in the brain and kidney following irradiation.

Configuration and molecular structure of 5-chloro-N-(4-sulfamoylbenzyl) salicylamide derivatives.

A systematic study on sulfonamide derivatives with salicylamide core is presented for possible use in pharmaceutical applications. The molecular structure of eight different compounds has been investigated by FTIR in the frequency range 4000-400 cm to recognize the possible geometrical shape of the molecules needed to uniquely identify the activity of molecule in cancer cell. The electronic charge distribution of these different compounds is further illustrated by UV-Vis spectroscopy in the frequency range 190-1100 nm.

Structure and absolute configuration of some 5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-phenylbenzamide derivatives.

The absolute configuration of 5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-phenylbenzamide single crystal [compound (1)] and the effect of introducing -[CH]-, n=1,2 group adjacent to the amide group [compounds (2) and (3)], were studied. Furthermore, the replacement of the methoxy group with a hydroxy group [compound (4)] was defined. Proton and carbon-13 NMR spectrometer were used to record the structural information of the prepared compounds.

Terahertz acoustic phonon detection from a compact surface layer of spherical nanoparticles powder mixture of aluminum, alumina and multi-walled carbon nanotube.

We present terahertz spectroscopy study on spherical nanoparticles powder mixture of aluminum, alumina, and MWCNTs induced by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) of aluminum substrates. Surface alloying of AL, AlO 0.95% and MWCNTs 0.

Magnetic-order-induced crystal symmetry lowering in ACr2O4 ferrimagnetic spinels.

We demonstrate that the onset of complex spin orders in ACr2O4 spinels with magnetic and Jahn-Teller active A=Fe and Cu ions lowers the lattice symmetry. This is clearly indicated by the emergence of anisotropic lattice dynamics-i.e.
