A Project Aiming at Designing New Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Systems

The biochemical project “Discovery of industrially important Novel Cytochrome P450 Enzymes from thermophilic Regions of Turkey, Australia and New Zealand” run by Prof. Dr. Nevin Gül Karagüler from ITU Molecular Biology and Genetics Deparment was accepted by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) Directorate of Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes (BİDEB). The host university for the proposed work is University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia.

A new phase transition, electric-field induced, is theoretically predicted in capillary electrophoretic systems

After the long years of applications of capillary electrophoretic separation of many inorganic, organic, and biopolymeric components under high voltage in ITU, Capillary Electrophoresis, and Biopolymer Applications laboratory, we have reported for the first time the modeling of the movement of molecules in the capillary column in the presence of electroosmotic flow.

A new generation antibacterial composite coating material prepared with metal oxide nanoparticles and ecofriendly, biodegradable biopolymers

Plant and animal resource-based biopolymers such as polysaccharides have gained increasing interest over synthetic polymers due to pressing environmental and health concerns. Applications of biopolymers are growing for their biocompatible, non-toxic, and biodegradable features. Chitosan is one of these biopolymers.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Caner ÜNLÜ focus on Carbyne-Based Sensors as a part of a Multi-National Project

The project with title “Carbyne Films: Synthesis of a New Class of Carbon Allotrope and Novel Applications in Sensors and Biosensors” was established in collaboration with Russia, Greece, Switzerland, Germany and Turkey and funded by EU as a part of ERA NET RUSSIA PLUS.

Yılmaz Group Constructed New Superior Sensors for the Determination of Toxic Be2+ in Aqueous Media

Yılmaz group designs new multi-channel sensor molecules based on phthalocyanines, rhodamines, naphthoquinones, and chromenylium−cyanines for toxic metals in environment and bioimaging application in living cell. Recently, Özgür Yavuz and colleagues under the supervision of Prof. Dr. İsmail Yılmaz designed and successfully applied phthalocyanine-based chemical sensors for the selective and sensitive determination of toxic Be2+.

A New Approach to the Phosphorylation of Polymers

After a long-standing demand, Durmaz group has finally presented a very practical method for the phosphorylation of polymers in mild conditions with a new approach, with effective methods.

The study on the biological activities of fluorine-substituted phthalocyanines was featured on the cover of Dalton’s 50th issue.

The study of Kocak group was published in Dalton Transtion, one of the most distinguished journals on inorganic chemistry, which has an extremely high impact factor, and was featured on the cover of its 50th issue.
