What is an Electrochemical Gradient?01:26

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?

128.5K
Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is considered the primary energy source in cells. However, energy can also be stored in the electrochemical gradient of an ion across the plasma membrane, which is determined by two factors: its chemical and electrical gradients.
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...

Overview of Connective Tissues Proper

10.2K
Connective tissue proper is a class of connective tissue that encompasses all mature connective tissues except bone, cartilage, blood, and lymph. This extensive class of tissues has two subclasses — loose and dense connective tissues — classified based on the protein fiber arrangement and the amount of ground substance. 
The loose connective tissues have a meshwork of thin collagen and elastin fibers, which provide tensile strength for support and enough elasticity to move...

Layers of Connective Tissue Proper

3.7K
Fascia, a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue, is distributed throughout the body. It demarcates and forms a supportive covering over skeletal muscles, bones, blood vessels, and organs. There are three main types of facia— superficial fascia, deep fascia, and subserous fascia. These are all present at different depths in the body. Fascia reduces the friction and permits muscles, joints, and organs to easily slide against each other, facilitating movement of the body and preventing...

Interfacial Electrochemical Methods: Overview01:06

Interfacial Electrochemical Methods: Overview

911
Interfacial electrochemical methods focus on the phenomena occurring at the boundary between an electrode and a solution, as opposed to bulk methods that concentrate on the solution's overall properties. These interfacial methods are classified as either static or dynamic based on the presence of a nonzero current in the electrochemical cell and the consistency of analyte concentrations. Static methods, such as potentiometry, measure the cell's potential without any significant current...

Surface Tension and Surface Energy01:16

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

3.3K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Modified Boxplots

11.3K
A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biosensing

Background:

  • Electrochemical detection of biomolecules like beta-carotene is crucial for health monitoring.
  • Existing methods lack sensitivity at physiological nanomolar concentrations.
  • Glassy carbon electrodes are common platforms, but require modification for enhanced performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the electrochemical detection sensitivity of beta-carotene using modified electrodes.
  • To investigate the interaction between beta-carotene and beta-cyclodextrin on electrode surfaces.
  • To understand the impact of co-solvents and surfactants on sensor performance.

Main Methods:

  • Electrochemical activity of beta-carotene and lutein was tested on unmodified glassy carbon electrodes.
  • Electrodes were modified with beta-cyclodextrin to enhance hydrophobicity and surface interaction.
  • Methylene blue mediator was used to investigate surface interactions and sensor interference.

Main Results:

  • Unmodified electrodes showed sensitivity at micromolar concentrations, insufficient for serum levels.
  • Beta-cyclodextrin modification led to a decrease in electrochemical activity, contrary to expectations.
  • Methylene blue studies suggested weak beta-carotene interaction with beta-cyclodextrin and significant disruption by co-solvents/surfactants.

Conclusions:

  • Beta-cyclodextrin modification is not effective for enhancing beta-carotene electrochemical detection.
  • The hydrophobic core of beta-cyclodextrin does not significantly attract beta-carotene.
  • Co-solvents and surfactants interfere with beta-cyclodextrin surface activity, impacting sensor reliability.
