Article Citation - WoS: 73Citation - Scopus: 77Zinc Oxide and Zinc Hydroxide Formation Via Aqueous Precipitation: Effect of the Preparation Route and Lysozyme Addition(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Top, Ayben; Çetinkaya, HayrullahAqueous precipitation products of Zn(NO3)2 and NaOH obtained by changing the method of combining the reactants and by using lysozyme as an additive were investigated. In the case of single addition method, octahedral ε-Zn(OH)2 and plate-like β-Zn(OH)2 structures formed in the absence and in the presence of lysozyme, respectively. Calcination of these Zn(OH)2 samples at 700 °C yielded porous ZnO structures by conserving the template crystals. When zinc source was added dropwise into NaOH solution, predominantly clover-like ZnO crystals were obtained independent of lysozyme addition. Mixed spherical and elongated ZnO morphology was observed when NaOH was added dropwise into Zn(NO3)2 solution containing lysozyme. Lysozyme contents of the precipitation products were estimated as in the range of ∼5-20% and FTIR indicated no significant conformational change of lysozyme in the composite. These results suggest that lysozyme-ZnO/Zn(OH)2 composite materials may have a value as an antibacterial material.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 59Prediction of Various Chemical Parameters of Olive Oils With Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(Academic Press Inc., 2015) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, BanuVibrational spectroscopic techniques offer advantages such as rapid and accurate measurements with minimum sample preparation and waste generation. In this study, it was aimed at determining some important quality parameters (oxidative stability, colour pigments, fatty acid profile and phenolic composition) of olive oils by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as one of the vibrational spectroscopic methods. Partial least square calibration models were constructed in order to reveal any correlation between quality parameters and spectral data. Regression coefficients for developed models showed that oxidative stability (0.99), chlorophyll content (0.98), some major fatty acids (palmitic (0.87), oleic (0.94), and linoleic acids (0.97), saturated (0.91), monounsaturated (0.94) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (0.97)), hydroxytyrosol as a phenolic compound (0.97) and total phenolic content (0.99) were predicted successfully. Variable influence on the projection values indicated that palmitic, vanillic and cinnamic acids and hydroxytyrosol are the most significant contributors to oxidative stability of olive oils. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 20Impact of Incorporated Oxygen Quantity on Optical, Structural and Dielectric Properties of Reactive Magnetron Sputter Grown High-? Hfo2/Hf Thin Film(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Cantaş, Ayten; Aygün, Gülnur; Turan, RaşitHigh-κ hafnium-oxide thin films have been fabricated by radio frequency (rf) reactive magnetron sputtering technique. To avoid formation of an undesired interfacial suboxide layer between Si and high-κ film, prior to HfO2 deposition, a thin Hf buffer layer was deposited on p-type (1 0 0) Si substrate at room temperature. Effect of oxygen gas quantity in the O2/Ar gas mixture was studied for the optical and structural properties of grown HfO2 high-κ thin films. The grown thin oxide films were characterized optically using spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) in detail. Crystal structure was studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffractometer (GIXRD) technique, while bonding structure was obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. In agreement with GIXRD and FTIR analyses, SE results show that any increment above ideal quantity of oxygen content in the gas mixture resulted in decrements in the refractive index and thickness of HfO2 dielectric film, while increments in SiO2 thickness. It is apparent from experimental results that oxygen to argon gas ratio needs to be smaller than 0.2 for a good film quality. The superior structural and optical properties for grown oxide film were obtained for O2/Ar gas ratio of about 0.05-0.1 combined with ∼30 W constant rf sputtering power. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

However, resistance to imatinib is an important problem. Different mechanisms have been explained for imatinib resistance. In this study, we examined the roles of macromolecules in imatinib resistance in K562 cells at the molecular level using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. An amount of 3μM imatinib resistant cells were generated by our group and named as K562/IMA-3 cells. Changes in macromolecules in parental and resistant cells were studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. Imatinib resistance caused changes, which indicated decreases in the level of glycogen and increases in the membrane order. The amount of unsaturated lipids increased in the imatinib resistant cells indicating lipid peroxidation. Imatinib resistance caused changes in the lipid/protein ratio. The relative protein content increased with respect to nucleic acids indicating higher transcription and protein expression and structural/organizational changes in the nucleus were evident as revealed by frequency changes in the nucleic acid bands. Changes in the amide bands revealed changes in the proteome of the resistant cells. Protein secondary structural changes indicated that the antiparallel beta sheet's structure increased, however the alpha helix structure, beta sheet structure, random coil structure and turns decreased in the resistant cells. These results indicate that the FT-IR technique provides a suitable method for analyzing drug resistance related structural changes in leukemia and other cancer types.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 33Characterization of Silk Fibroin/Hyaluronic Acid Polyelectrolyte Complex (pec) Films(Springer Verlag, 2008) Malay, Özge; Yalçın, Dilek; Batıgün, Ayşegül; Bayraktar, OğuzThis study aimed the characterization of the films casted from the aqueous mixtures of the pH induced complexes between silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The insoluble and transparent films were subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses to show the morphological changes. Thermal analysis of complex films was determined by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The changes in the crystalline state were monitored by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was shown that the complexation between HA and SF was dominantly induced by pH. It was shown that the complex films comprised mixtures of crystalline and non-crystalline regions.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 46Characterization and Recovery of Tartaric Acid From Wastes of Wine and Grape Juice Industries(Springer Verlag, 2008) Yalçın, Dilek; Özçalık, Onur; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, OğuzTartaric acid is mainly used in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries. In this study, the waste samples, which contain tartaric acid, from the wastes of wine and grape juice industries were characterized by using TG, DSC, FTIR and XRD techniques. HPLC was used to determine tartaric acid content of samples. The decomposition temperatures of waste samples were found to be relatively higher compared with that of pure tartaric acid. This difference in decomposition temperatures was attributed to the presence of potassium tartrate since high potassium content was detected with ICP-AES.
