Green detergents

Succinic acid, known as amber acid or butanedioic acid, is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid produced as an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) [1,2]. Succinic acid and its derivative have wide industrial applications such as the feedstock of food and pharmaceutical products, as the intermediate of chemical synthesis of surfactants, detergents, green solvents, and biodegradable plastics, and also as ingredients of animal feeds to stimulate animal and...

Photosystem I is a membrane pigment-protein complex in green plants, algae as well as cyanobacteria, and undergoes redox reactions by using the electrons transferred from photosystem II (PS II) [1], These membrane proteins are considered to be especially interesting in the study of monomolecular assemblies, because their structure contains hydrophilic area that can interact with the subphase as well as hydrophobic domains that can interact either with each other or with detergent and lipids [2], Moreover, studies with such proteins directly at the air-water interface are expected to be a valuable approach for their two-dimensional crystallization. 

It can be synthesized by reaction of a 1 1 molar ratio of ethyl vinyl ether and phenethyl alcohol in the presence of cation exchange resin [141]. It imparts fresh, floral, green notes and is used in fine fragrances as well as in soap, cosmetics and detergents. 

It is used for tenacious compositions with green and broom character, e.g., for detergents. 

By disrupting the mitochondrial inner membrane with detergents, Yousef Hatefi, David Green, and others found that all of the major electron carriers except for cytochrome c and UQ occur in the form of four large complexes (fig. 14.8). The isolated NADH dehydrogenase complex (complex I)...

The detergent treatment conditions of samples drastically affected the SDS-PAGE of the Chl-protein complexes. Thus, when samples were SDS-treated for different time lengths the A-2 band was affected faster than the other green bands, and no A-2 band could be observed after incubation of samples for 90 min with SDS at a final SDS Chi ratio=20 l (data not shown). However, the effect of the LDAO pretreatment of samples was less apparent...
