Intracellular Pb2+ content monitoring using a protein-based Pb2+ indicator.
Lead ion (Pb(2+)) is one of the most hazardous heavy metals to almost all life forms. The components of store-operated Ca(2+) entry as a molecular gateway have been previously found to participate in the cytotoxic entry of Pb(2+). However, the safe levels of intracellular Pb(2+) hiding in blood Pb(2+) levels are still not determined with full certainty. The present study aimed to construct prot...
متن کاملSense in Pb2+ sensing.
It is generally acknowledged that Pb(2+), which is sequestered by live cells from their direct environment, affects a large number of cellular processes at picomolar to micromolar concentrations. However, resolving the specific molecular targets and mechanisms responsible for the neurotoxic effects of this xenobiotic metal is hampered by the lack of suitable tools to investigate the intracellul...
متن کاملA highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Pb2+.
A new fluorescent sensor based on rhodamine B for Pb2+ was synthesized. The new fluorescent sensor showed an extreme selectivity for Pb2+ over other metal ions examined in acetonitrile. Upon the addition of Pb2+, an overall emission change of 100-fold was observed, and the selectivity was calculated to be 200 times that of Zn2+. The signal transduction occurs via of reversible CHEF (chelation-e...
متن کاملDetection of Pb2+ using a hydrogel swelling microcantilever sensor.
Hydrogels containing benzo-18-crown-6 were used to modify microcantilevers for measurements of the concentration of Pb2+ in aqueous solutions. These microcantilevers undergo bending deflection upon exposure to solutions containing various Pb2+ concentrations as the result of a swelling of the hydrogels. It was found that a concentration of 10(-6) M Pb2+ can be detected using this technology. Ot...
متن کاملIn-situ Pb2+ remediation using nano iron particles
Originally, application of nano zero valent iron (nZVI) particles for the removal of lead (Pb(2+)) in porous media was studied. At first, stabilized nZVI (S-nZVI) was prepared and characterized, then used in batch and continuous systems. Based on the batch experiments, corresponding reaction kinetics well fitted with the pseudo-first-order adsorption model, and reaction rate ranged from 0.01 to...
