Sentence examples for by a reducing agent from inspiring English sources

The disulfide bonds at the junction points can be cleaved by a reducing agent, resulting in aggregation of the assemblies.

In this line, efficient methods of AgNP synthesis have been developed, i.e., the chemical reduction of silver salt solution by a reducing agent such as citrate, NaBH4, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine hydrochloride [7 9].

Here, the gold nanoparticles are generated by reduction of gold precursor (a source of Au3+ ions) by a reducing agent (grape polyphenols) in the presence of stabilizers (GSH and Lipoic acid) that keeps nanoparticles apart, thus avoiding their aggregation.

The disulfide bonds in cystamine were designed in the hyperbranched polymer structures of the NMs, and bonds could be broken by a reducing agent l-glutathione (GSH) (10 mM), resulting in a targeted drug release.

The chemical reduction of ferrous or ferric ions to metallic iron by a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride (NaBH4), hydrazine (N2H4), or sodium phosphonate (NaH2PO2) and its subsequent oxidation were investigated for the preparation of iron-oxide nanoparticles in reverse micelles.

Additionally, both compounds are thiol-cleavablez, allowing for "reversal" of the crosslinks via chemical cleavage by a reducing agent (i.e. DTT).

However, by applying a reducing agent, the disulfide bonds could be cleaved and the fouled coating could be removed, therefore exposing a non-fouled silicon substrate.

This study was undertaken to determine whether, by using a reducing agent and deliberately turning the surface of a lesion black after a silver fluoride application, subsequent color changes could provide a useful indicator of lesion status.

NAC can exert antioxidant effects directly by acting as a reducing agent and indirectly by increasing glutathione synthesis [25].

Unlike our compounds, however, inhibition of Stat3 by Stattic was blocked by addition of a reducing agent (dithiothreitol, DTT), was not reversible, and may not be mediated by direct inhibition of pY-peptide binding.

The ions are first reduced to atoms by means of a reducing agent.
