Abstract:
In this work, magnetic and optical properties of magnetic nanoparticles were investigated, where the particles of iron oxide were prepared with a co-precipitation route and the component of gold was built up by reduction of AuCl4- on the surface of iron oxide to assemble nanocomposite structures in the form of an electrostatic stabilized suspension. The size of the particles obtained with TEM increased from of 8.9 ± 2.7 to 16 ± 6 nm after the procedure of hybridisation. In order to distinguish the impact of the gold on the optical properties, UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used. Magnetic properties were studied in the temperature range of 5-300 K and the superparamagnetic state of MNPs at room temperature was confirmed for both systems.

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
