Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2A Molecularly Imprinted Polymer as Solid Phase Extraction Sorbent for Ketoprofen Determination in Water and Artificial Serum Prior To Hplc(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2022) Shahwan, Talal; Gürel Özyurt, Elif; Özyurt, Ömer; Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Boyacı, EzelKetoprofen (KET) is an active pharmaceutical compound that has pain relieving and antipyretic effects. Its determination in body fluids and environmental waters is important due to widespread use of the compound. In this study, a selective and reliable method has been developed for the determination of ketoprofen in water and artificial serum using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as a solid phase extraction sorbent prior to HPLC-DAD detection. The MIP was synthesized by copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) and trimethylpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) in the presence of ketoprofen as the template. For the sake of comparison, nonimprinted polymer (NIP) was also synthesized under the same experimental conditions without the addition of ketoprofen under the same experimental conditions. Critical extraction parameters such as sample pH, shaking time and sorbent amount were optimized and adjusted to 8.0, 24 h, and 10.0 mg, respectively, for a sample volume of 10.0 mL. MIP showed higher selectivity than NIP towards ketoprofen in an artificial matrix containing another pain relieving drug, ibuprofen, and a cardiovascular drug, metoprolol. The proposed method was successfully applied for the detection of ketoprofen in spiked drinking water, tap water, and artificial serum samples, and showed satisfactory results with respective recoveries of 96.8 % (± 0.8), 93.7% (± 0.6), 62.2% (± 0.6), and 69.9% (± 0.6).Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Structural and Functional Analyses of Gh51 Alpha-L of Geobacillus Vulcani Gs90 Reveal Crucial Residues for Catalytic Activity and Thermostability(Wiley, 2022) Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahAlpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (Abf) is of big interest in various industrial areas. Directed evolution is a powerful strategy to identify significant residues underlying Abf properties. Here, six active variants from GH51 Abf of Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvAbf) by directed evolution were overproduced, extracted, and analyzed at biochemical and structural levels. According to the activity and thermostability results, the most-active and the least-active variants were found as GvAbf51 and GvAbf52, respectively. GvAbf63 variant was more active than parent GvAbf by 20% and less active than GvAbf51. Also, the highest thermostability belonged to GvAbf52 with 80% residual activity after 1 h. Comparative sequence and structure analyses revealed that GvAbf51 possessed L307S displacement. Thus, this study suggested that L307 residue may be critical for GvAbf activity. GvAbf63 had H30D, Q90H, and L307S displacements, and H30 was covalently bound to E29 catalytic residue. Thus, H30D may decrease the positive effect of L307S on GvAbf63 activity, preventing E29 action. Besides, GvAbf52 possessed S215N, L307S, H473P, and G476C substitutions and S215 was close to E175 (acid–base residue). S215N may partially disrupt E175 action. Overall effect of all substitutions in GvAbf52 may result in the formation of the C–C bond between C171 and C213 by becoming closer to each other.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4A Cyclopalladated Bodipy Construct as a Fluorescent Probe for Carbon Monoxide(Wiley, 2022) Çevik Eren, Merve; Eren, Ahmet; Dartar, Suay; Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; Emrullahoğlu, MustafaBy introducing a palladium ion into the backbone of BODIPY, we devised a cyclopalladated BODIPY construct that was almost non-emissive in the absence of any analyte but became highly fluorescent upon interacting with carbon monoxide (CO) in solution and in living cells. A process of ortho-carbonylation and depalladation mediated by the specific binding of CO to palladium, promoted the release of the heavy atom from the fluorophore and consequently generated a fluorescence signal with an exceptionally high (60-fold) enhancement ratio.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 1Transition Metal Salt Promoted, Green, and High-Yield Synthesis of Silver Nanowires for Flexible Transparent Conductive Electrodes(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021) Sarısözen, Sema; Tertemiz, Necip Ayhan; Arıca, Tuğçe Aybüke; Polat, Nahit; Kocabaş, Çoşkun; Mert Balcı, Fadime; Balcı, SinanSilver nanowires (AgNWs) have attracted considerable interest from both academia and industry owing to their excellent electrical, optical, and chemical properties. For large-scale synthesis of AgNWs, the polyol method involving ethylene glycol, a toxic alcohol, has been widely used. We herein report on a facile, green, high yield, transition metal salt promoted, open atmosphere method for the synthesis of high quality AgNWs in a glycerol-water mixture. We have shown that transition metal salts have a strong influence on the morphology of AgNWs. Importantly, in the presence of copper(II) chloride, AgNWs with a high aspect ratio of around 400 (length, 36 μm; diameter, 90 nm) were obtained. Additionally, for the first time, we have demonstrated AgNWs based flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) on poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) treated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate with a sheet resistance of 34 Ω/sq and transmittance of 91 % at 550 nm. The PSS layer on the PET substrate generated a highly hydrophilic surface, which boosts interaction of AgNWs with the PET surface. We envision that our results would play a significant role both in the synthesis of AgNWs with high aspect ratio and also in designing new rigid and flexible TCEs having high transmittance and low sheet resistance for applications especially in printable solar cells, organic light emitting diodes, and high performance flexible electronics.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Charmm Force Field Generation for a Cationic Thiophene Oligomer With Fftk(Springer, 2021) Kıbrıs, Erman; Nalıncı Barbak, Nehir; Elmacı Irmak, NuranIn the present work, CHARMM force field parameters are generated for a cationic oligomer of N, N, N-trimethyl-3-(4-methylthiophen-3-yl) oxy) propan-1-aminium) which has the potential for sensing biological molecules such as nucleic acids, nucleobases. We have used ffTK (force field tool kit) to obtain potential parameters. MD simulations are performed for 20-mer and its complexes with AMP and ATP. The simulation results are analyzed to see the number of phosphates in adenosine nucleotides effects on the structure of the backbone of oligomer. The UV-VIS calculations for the conformers which possess the most probable radius of gyration are carried out and compared to the experimental ones to validate the generated force field. Recent studies have shown that, biologically important anions (ATP, AMP, vb.) change the spectroscopic properties of cationic polythiophenes (CPT) in the solutions. This work aims to generate CHARMM compatible force field parameters for a CPT to explain experimental studies. The type of interactions will be investigated deeply to lead new biosensor studies by examining the formation and the structure of complexes that consist of a oligothiophene and biological molecules, ATP, AMP by molecular dynamic simulations.Letter Prof. Dr. O.

Subsequently, the nanofibers were thermally cross-linked in order to offer a stable and biocompatible alternative for the biological applications of nanofibers such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. Nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and confocal microscopy. The formation of smooth, continuous, and uniform nanofibers was observed and the addition of PEG resulted in an increase whereas the incorporation of DOX into nanofibers had no significant change in the diameter of nanofibers. Crosslinking also enlarged the diameter of all nanofibers and the most dramatic increase was observed 53% by DOX@PEGylated-gel. Afterward, the biological performance of the nanofibers was investigated by drug release profile, cytotoxicity on A549 cell line as well as antimicrobial activity with E. coli and S. aureus. The results indicate an enhanced drug release profile, moderate antimicrobial activity, and reasonable cytotoxic efficiency for thermally cross-linked nanofibers compared to uncross-linked nanofibers.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Investigation of Oxygen Evolution Reaction Performance of Silver Doped Ba0.5sr0.5co0.8fe0.2o3-Delta Perovskite Structure(Springer, 2020) Göl, Emre Yusuf; Aytekin, Ahmet; Özkahraman, Ecem Ezgi; Karabudak, EnginStudies on novel electrochemical catalyst synthesis for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) attract the attention of researchers. In general, changing of synthesis method and the doping metal affect the electrochemical activities of BSCF. In this work, silver doped Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta (BSCF-Ag) perovskite structure is shown to be a better electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to its lower overpotential and extended durability. BSCF structure was synthesized by the EDTA-citric acid method. Appropriate amount of Ba(NO3)(2) and EDTA were dissolved 0.1 M NH4OH solution. Nitrate salts of other metals were dissolved in distilled water, then mixed with prepared Ba(NO3)(2) solution. The mixture was stirred at 70 degrees C until gelation occurred. The gelled samples obtained were baked in a drying oven at 250 degrees C for 24 h before being calcined at 1000 degrees C for 12 h. To achieve a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), BSCF-Ag has required an overpotential of 0.36 V, which is very low compared to BSCF. To determine the stability of BSCF-Ag, continuous chronopotentiometry tests were carried out for 5 h and at a constant current density of 10 mA cm(-2). BSCF-Ag was characterized by XRD, SEM, and XPS.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.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.
