    Abstract: The physicochemical of gum exudates from Acacia Nubica were analyzed and compared to those for Acacia Senegal gum. The molecular weight of Acacia Nubica and Acacia Senegal were determined using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with on-line monitoring using light scattering, refractive index and UV absorbance detector, the result show that the th...

    Abstract: The interactions of cefoperazone sodium with bovine transferrin and bovine serum albumin were studied by multi-spectroscopic methods. Results showed that the intrinsic fluorescence of proteins was quenched by the cefoperazone sodium with a static quenching procedure. The thermodynamics parameters indicated that electrostatic attraction played a maj... Show More
