Synthesizing of a nanocomposite based on the formation of silver nanoparticles on fumed silica to develop an electrochemical sensor for carbendazim detection.

In this study, a nanocomposite was synthesized via the formation of silver nanoparticles on fumed silica (FS@Ag) to prepare an electrochemical sensor for the determination of carbendazim (CBZ), a common pesticide. The electrochemical sensor was designed by the combination of the carbon paste electrode (CPE) with the FS@Ag nanocomposite. Based on the electrochemical sensor prepared here, a voltammetric method was developed for the determination of CBZ in water and food samples.

Preparation of a disposable and low-cost electrochemical sensor for propham detection based on over-oxidized poly(thiophene) modified pencil graphite electrode.

In this study, an electrochemical sensor was developed for the determination of propham (PRO) in potato, human urine and river water samples based on the over-oxidized poly(thiophene) modified pencil graphite [PG/p(Thp)-Ox] electrode. Adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry was used as a voltammetric method. The PG/p(Thp)-Ox electrode increased the oxidation peak current of PRO 30 times according to bare PG.

Investigation of applicability of Electro-Fenton method for the mineralization of naphthol blue black in water.

In this study, mineralization and color removal performance of electro-Fenton method were examined in water containing naphthol blue black (NBB), a diazo dye. NBB was totally converted to intermediate species in a 15-min electrolysis at 60 mA, but complete de-colorization took 180 min. A very high oxidation rate constant ((3.

Development of a disposable and low-cost electrochemical sensor for dopamine detection based on poly(pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid)-modified electrochemically over-oxidized pencil graphite electrode.

In this study, preparation of a single-use electrochemical sensor for the selective and sensitive determination of dopamine (DOP) was investigated by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid on electrochemically over-oxidized pencil graphite electrode (p(P3CA)/EOPGE). Cyclic voltammetry measurements of Fe(CN) indicated that the electrochemically over-oxidized PGE (EOPGE) showed superior electron transfer characteristics according to bare PGE. The ionized carboxyl groups found in the structure of poly(pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid) (p(P3CA)) showed high affinity towards positively charged DOP.

Bioconjugated and cross-linked bionanostructures for bifunctional immunohistochemical labeling.

The present study describes the development and use of a new bioconjugate combining targeted quantum dot labeling with an immunoperoxidase method and explores whether these bioconjugates could specifically and effectively label Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). The new bioconjugate is designed for the examination of samples both under fluorescent and bright-field microscopy at the same time. For this purpose chlorobis(2-2'-bipyridyl) methacryloyl tyrosine-ruthenium(II) and bis (2-2'-bipyridyl) methacryloyltyrosine-methacryloyltryptophan-ruthenium (II) photosensitive monomers and photosensitive poly(Bis (2-2'-bipyridyl)) methacryloyltyrosine-methacryloyltryptophan-ruthenium(II) were synthesized and characterized.

Investigation of photosensitively bioconjugated targeted quantum dots for the labeling of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase in fixed cells and tissue sections.

This study presents the development of targeted and antibody cross-linked QDs and explores whether these bioconjugates could specifically and effectively label Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) on fixed cells and tissues. QD-antibody conjugation was achieved by using our previously invented AmiNoacid (monomer) Decorated and Light Underpining Conjugation Approach (ANADOLUCA) method. In this method, we have used a photosensitive aminoacid monomer having ruthenium complex which is a synthetic and inexpensive material for the preparation of bioconjugates.

Preparation of new molecularly imprinted quartz crystal microbalance hybride sensor system for 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine determination.

The routine measurement of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in biological samples is a difficult analytical problem due to the low levels of the analyte and complex matrix. A new 8-OHdG imprinted quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor has been developed for selective determination of 8-OHdG in serum samples. To fulfil the desired results, we have used methacryloyl aminoantipyrine-Fe(III) [MAAP-Fe(III)] and methacryloyl histidine-Pt(II) [MAH-Pt(II)] as metal-chelating monomers via double metal coordination-chelation interactions for the preparation of additional selective molecular imprinted polymers (MIP).

L-histidine imprinted synthetic receptor for biochromatography applications.

We have proposed novel surface-imprinted beads for selective separation of cytochrome c (cyt c) by N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidine-copper(II) [MAH-Cu(II)] as a new metal-chelating monomer via metal coordination interactions and histidine template. We have combined molecular imprinting with the ability of histidine to chelate metal ions to create ligand exchange beads suitable for the binding of cyt c (surface histidine exposed protein). The histidine imprinted beads were produced by suspension polymerization of MAH-Cu(II)-L-histidine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate.
