Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 37Flow-Through Colorimetric Assay for Detection of Nucleic Acids in Plasma(Elsevier, 2019) Ammanath, Gopal; Yeasmi, Sanjida; Srinivasulu, Yuvasri; Vats, Mukti; Cheema, Jamal Ahmed; Nabilah, Fairuz; Liedberg, Bo; Yıldız, Ümit HakanA flow-through colorimetric assay for detection of nucleic acids in plasma is reported. The proposed assay features an array of four polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes impregnated with cationic poly (3-alkoxy-4-methylthiophene) (PT) as an optical reporter. The sensing strategy is based on monitoring the changes in optical properties of PT, upon complexation with target nucleic acids in the presence and in the absence of their corresponding complementary peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). As a proof of concept, the proposed methodology is validated using two biomarkers; lung cancer associated microRNA (mir21) and hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA). The flow-through colorimetric assay enabled detection of mir21 and HBV-DNA in plasma without requiring tedious sample pre-treatment and clean up protocols. Colorimetric responses for mir21 and HBV-DNA were obtained at nanomolar concentrations over five orders of magnitudes (from 1 nM to 10 mu M), with a limit of detection of -0.6 nM and -2 nM in DI water and plasma, respectively. A logic gate system was developed to utilize the colorimetric assay responses as inputs for discrimination of mir21 and HBV-DNA and subsequently to obtain a profile of nucleic acids in samples that exceed respective clinical threshold limits, thereby enabling rapid and point of care (POC) disease diagnosis. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can be utilized for detection of a large number of nucleic acids in plasma by extending the array of PT impregnated membranes incorporated with their corresponding complementary PNAs.

The 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives were synthesized from 1,2-bis(N-lithium-arylamino) diborane(4) and dichloro-dimethylaminoborane with high yield. The structures of these new derivatives were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 3a, 3b, 3d, 4b and 4c were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their structural features were discussed and compared with similar diazatriborolidines. In addition, the enthalpy of formation of B and N atoms containing five membered heterocycles were calculated theoretically for the first time. Also, an easy and efficient synthesis route has been reported for preparation of 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives.Article Citation - WoS: 90Citation - Scopus: 101A Rapid Atr-Ftir Spectroscopic Method for Classification of Gelatin Gummy Candies in Relation To the Gelatin Source(Elsevier, 2019) Çebi, Nur; Doğan, Canan Ekinci; Ekin Meşe, Ayten; Özdemir, Durmuş; Arıcı, Muhammet; Sağdıç, OsmanGelatin is widely used in gummy candies because of its unique functional properties. Generally, porcine and bovine gelatins are used in the food industry. FTIR-ATR combined with chemometrics analysis such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) (OPUS Version 7.2 software), principal component analysis (PCA) (OPUS Version 7.2 software) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) (Matlab R2017b) were used for classification and discrimination of gelatin gummy candies related to their gelatin source. The spectral region between 1734 and 1528 cm(-1) was selected for chemometric analysis. The potential of FTIR spectroscopy for determination of bovine and porcine source in gummy candies was examined and validated by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Twenty commercial samples were tested by developed ATR-FTIR methodology and RT-PCR technique, mutually confirming and supporting results were obtained. Gummy candies were classified and discriminated in relation to the bovine or porcine source of gelatin with 100% success without any sample preparation using FTIR-ATR technique.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 46Electrospun Polystyrene Fibers Knitted Around Imprinted Acrylate Microspheres as Sorbent for Paraben Derivatives(Elsevier, 2018) Demirkurt, Merve; Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Eroğlu, Ahmet EroğluParabens are used as antimicrobial preservatives in food, cosmetic products and pharmaceuticals regardless of their endocrine disrupting effect. In this study, highly selective molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized in submicron-sizes and converted to an SPME fiber coating through electrospinning process in order to determine parabens in water samples. Conversion of MIP to a fiber is achieved via creation of spacial knitting around MIP by polystyrene. The selectivity and extraction ability of the fibers were compared with the commercial fibers and the corresponding non-imprinted polymer (NIP) coated fiber. The coated fiber showed better extraction ability among them. Also, the results revealed that the fiber has better selectivity for benzyl paraben and the other structurally-related compounds, such as methyl and propyl paraben. Extraction efficiency of prepared fibers for three parabens has been tested by spiking bottled, tap and sea water samples. The recoveries changed between 92.2 ± 0.8 and 99.8 ± 0.1 for three different water types. This method could be used for selective and sensitive determination of parabens in aqueous samples.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Palladium-Catalysed Reactions of Conjugated Enyne Oxiranes With Organoborons: a Diastereoselective Method of the Synthesis of 2,4,5-Trienol Derivatives(Elsevier, 2017) Ziyanak, Fırat; Kuş, Melih; Alkan Karadeniz, Leman; Artok, LeventA palladium-catalysed reaction of conjugated enyne oxiranes with organoboron reagents is described. This method allows aryl-substituted vinylallenes containing a hydroxyl group on the allylic position to be synthesized, with good diastereomeric ratios, under mild conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Determination of Force-Free Wet Adhesion of Mussel-Inspired Polymers To Spin Labeled Surface(Elsevier, 2017) Kırpat, İklima; Göksel, Yaman; Karakuş, Erman; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Akdoğan, YaşarHydration repulsive forces oppose the adhesive interactions, especially in the force-free conditions. Here, we studied spontaneous wet adhesion of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers inspired by marine mussels. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we can monitor spontaneous adhesion of DOPA containing polymer to suspended spin labeled hydrophobic polystyrene nanobeads at molecular level. The surface coverage up to 82% is obtained from EPR measurements. However, in the force-free condition, EPR measurements do not show any detectable DOPA based adhesion to hydrophilic silica nanobead.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Supramolecular Hybrid Based on Keggin and Cu(i) Complex(Elsevier, 2013) Eanes, Mehtap; Önen, BanuA novel inorganic-organic hybrid molecule, [Cu(4,4′bipyH)3(4,4bipy)][HPW12O40]2.12H2O (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, TG and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
