Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 41Determination of Olive Oil Adulteration With Vegetable Oils by Near Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled With Multivariate Calibration(SAGE Publications, 2010) Öztürk, Betül; Yalçın, Ayşegül; Özdemir, DurmuşThere has been growing public awareness about the health benefits of olive oil throughout the world in recent years, resulting in a significant increase in its consumption as part of the daily diet This demand has attracted fraudulent attempts to market olive oil which has been adulterated with cheaper oils. This study focuses on the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic determination of adulteration of olive oil by vegetable oils using multivariate calibration. The binary, ternary and quaternary mixtures of olive, soybean, cotton, corn, canola and sunflower oils were prepared using a random design. The absorbance spectra of these synthetic samples were measured by a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer. A genetic algorithm-based variable selection algorithm, coupled with an inverse least squares multivariate calibration method (GILS) was used to build calibration models for possible adulterants and olive oil in the adulterated mixtures The correlation coefficients of actual versus predicted concentrations resulting from multivariate calibration models for the different oils were between 0 90 and 0.99 The results demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy in conjunction with the GILS method makes it possible to determine the adulteration of olive oils regardless of adulterant vegetable oils over a wide range of concentrations.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Transition-Metal Direct C-H Arylation of Thiophene in Aqueous Media Via Potassium Peroxymonosulfate(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Özenler, Sezer; Kaya, Hakan; Elmacı, Nuran; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study covers the use of potassium peroxymonosulfate (PPS) which, is a mild and inexpensive catalyst, for direct coupling of C-H/C-H for water soluble thiophene. The 3-(4-methyl-3 '- thienyloxy)propyltriethylammonium bromide (M1) has been selected as model monomer that reacted PPS in 2.0, 0.20 and 0.020 monomer to PPS ratio. The reaction has been monitored via NMR spectroscopy revealing the monomer consumption and formation of dimers to tetramers as well as completion of reaction within 15 minutes. Resultant product is easily collected without tedious work up steps. The computational calculation has optimized the regularity of the coupling as head to tail, tail to tail, head to tail (HT-TT-HT) for tetramer. The regularity of tetramer which is further satisfied via NMR analysis showing emergence of new peaks at 3.56 and 4.48. The shifts in the UV maximum of reactive species have been monitored by absorbance spectroscopy showing time dependent red shift corresponds to growing from monomer to tetramers. The reaction has self-stopped due to low solubility of moderate condensates (higher than trimer), however further experiments have performed in water-organic mixtures showed great promises to obtain higher condensates.Editorial Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Kras(g12c) Inhibitors on the Horizon(Future Science, 2019) Çağır, Ali; Azmi, Asfar S.RAS proteins (the four isoforms KRAS4A, KRAS4B, NRAS and HRAS encoded by three genes KRAS, NRAS and HRAS) act as molecular switches that when activated drive several key cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation and survival [1]. In normal cells, RAS activity is under tight control by the precise activation (binding to GTP) and inactivation (GTP hydrolysis to GDP) [1]. As with other critical proteins, it is not at all surprising to note that the gene encoding the RAS protein isoforms is found mutated or altered in a significant proportion of tumors [2]. Mutant RAS loses its ability to hydrolyze GTP and remains in a permanently activated state (bound to GTP) leading to uncontrolled growth.Conference Object Semi-Synthetic Studies on Astragaloside Vii and Immunomodulatory Activities of the Derivatives(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2019) Yakuboğulları, Nilgün; Sağ, Duygu; Çağır, Ali; Bedir, ErdalAdjuvants have been used in vaccine sector since 1920s to increase the immunogenicity of antigens, reduce the dosage and minimize frequency of immunizations [1]. The use of saponins as adjuvant in the prophylactic/therapeutic human and veterinary vaccines, and investigation of their immunomodulatory activities have gained importance in recent years [2],[3]. Astragaloside VII (AST VII), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Astragalus species, stimulates Th1 mediated immune response, antigen-specific antibody response and splenocyte proliferation.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Development of a Water-Soluble 3-Formylbodipy Dye for Fluorogenic Sensing and Cell Imaging of Sulfur Dioxide Derivatives(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Işık, Murat; Şimşek Turan, İlke; Dartar, SuayA new water-soluble, highly fluorogenic 3-formylBODIPY dye that enables the sensing of SO2 derivatives in aqueous buffers and cancer cells is reported.

Optimum instrumental and chemical parameters were selected and variation in LIBS signal intensity was recorded for As solution in the presence of comparable concentrations of interfering elements. No significant change in the signal intensity of As(I) 228.8 nm line was observed in the presence of alkali/alkali earth metals; however, the presence of hydride-forming elements has shown a noticeable decrease in the line emission strength of arsenic. The least variation in arsenic signal was observed in the presence of Ge, the most volatile of all. However, the signal has decreased to a greater extent in the presence of Sn, Sb, and Pb. The presence of interfering elements on electron temperature and electron number density of arsenic plasma has also been studied. Plasma temperatures calculated using both As and Ar emission lines in the Boltzmann equation were similar, being around 5000 K. The McWhirter criterion for stationary and homogenous plasmas was utilized for the establishment of the local thermodynamic equilibrium under the plasma conditions studied. Applicability of the technique for multielemental analysis of water samples was tested through spiking experiments. Arsenic signal showed 26% decrease in the multielemental mixture solution. LIBS is among a few atomic spectroscopic techniques that facilitate rapid and simultaneous multielemental analysis without extensive sample preparation steps. However, the analytical performance of the technique still requires more serious efforts to compete with other conventional techniques for routine analysis of environmental samples.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of 2-En Carbonates With Terminal Alkynes(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Taç, Doğan; Artok, LeventThe first palladium-catalysed coupling of the carbonates of (E)-configured conjugated enynols with terminal alkynes is described.

The simultaneous loading of phosphine-ligated and phosphine-free rhodium(I) complexes is required for efficient catalysis, which catalyze the abstraction of a carbonyl moiety from formaldehyde (decarbonylation) and its subsequent introduction into the substrate (carbonylation), respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Observation of the Side Chain O-Methylation of Glutamic Acid or Aspartic Acid Containing Model Peptides by Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Atik, Ahmet Emin; Güray, Melda Zeynep; Yalçın, TalatO-methylation of the side chains of glutamic acid (E) and aspartic acid (D) residues is generally observed modification when an acidified methanol/water (MeOH/dH2O) mixture is used as a solvent system during sample preparation for proteomic research. This chemical modification may result misidentification with endogenous protein methylation; therefore, a special care should be taken during sample handling prior to mass spectrometric analysis. In the current study, we systematically examined the extent of E/D methylation and C-terminus carboxyl group of synthetic model peptides in terms of different incubation temperatures, storage times, and added acid types as well as its percentages. To monitor these effects, C-terminus amidated and free acid forms of synthetic model peptides comprised of E or D residue(s) have been analyzed by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Additionally, LC–MS/MS experiments were performed to confirm the formation of methylated peptide product. The results showed that the rate of methylation was increased as the temperature increases along with prolong incubation times. Moreover, the extent of methylation was remarkably high when formic acid (FA) used as a protonation agent instead of acetic acid (AA). In addition, it was found that the degree of methylation was significantly decreased by lowering acid percentages in ESI solution. More than one acidic residue containing model peptides have been also used to explore the extent of multiple methylation reaction. Lastly, the ethanol (EtOH) and isopropanol (iPrOH) have been substituted separately with MeOH in sample preparation step to investigate the extent of esterification reaction under the same experimental conditions. However, in the positive perspective of view, this method can be used as a simple, rapid and cheap method for methylation of acidic residues under normal laboratory conditions.
