The study of the quenching mechanism of hemoglobin by curcumin in nanoemulsion
Maurice O Iwunze
Abstract:Steady state fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study the mechanism of electron transfer reaction between hemoglobin and curcumin (biologically active molecules) in nanoemulsion. Nanoemulsion is a thermodynamically stable heterogeneous system made-up of water, oil and a dispersing agent, usually a surfactant and a cosurfactant in appropriate ratios. The reaction is postulated as activation controlled and the requisite energies: Gibb’s free energy, ΔGo, (1.317 eV), the solvent reorganization energy, λ, (0.76… Show more
