Synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite from South African fly ash and its application as solid catalyst
(University of the Western cape, 2016)
Zeolites are widely used as environmentally friendly solid catalysts or catalyst supports in the refining and petrochemical industries. ZSM-5 zeolite is composed of a three-dimensional medium pore structure (openings of ...
Quantum dot sensitized estrogen receptor alpha-recombinant protein electrochemical biosensor for 17-beta estradiol
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Estrogens play an extraordinary role in the endocrine system regulation through the stimulation and regulation of endocrine pathways. 17β-estradiol is one of the final metabolites in estrogen regulation by hydroxylase ...
Graphenated electrode protocol for electrochemical nanosensing of 17β- estradiol as an environmental estrogeneous endocrine disruptor
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
17β-Estradiol can be defined as an endocrine disruptor chemical with estrogenic activity, which
can bind to the estrogen receptor in the body and potentially alter the normal physiological
function of the endocrine ...
Fabrication of luminescent nanocomposites for diagnosis of breast cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
In this study we were able to synthesize separately iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, InP/ZnSe
and CdTe/ZnS quantum dots. The iron oxide nanoparticles were coupled with InP/ZnSe QDs to
form the luminescent magnetic ...
Synthesis, characterization, and molecular docking of novel 4-Aminoquinolines and Salicylaldimine complexes: evaluation as antimalarial and antitumor agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Malaria remains a major global health problem and to date, hundreds of thousands of people
die as a result of this disease every year. Malaria has been able to adapt and rebound despite
various efforts made to combat the ...
