Aggregation Behavior of Some Asymmetric Porphyrins versus Basic Biological Tests Response by Radu Socoteanu, Mihai Anastasescu, Anabela Oliveira, Gianina Dobrescu, Rica Boscencu, Carolina Constantin

“…Results show the necessity to use both methods to describe the fractal properties of AB3  meso-porphyrins that may be used to predict their relative cell localization. In order to emphasize the influence of fractal and textural properties the results regarding their self-similarity and texture/morphology were further compared with their behavior in biological assessment, that is, functionality of some Jurkat cell lines.…”
