The ionophore nigericin transports Pb2+ with high activity and selectivity: a comparison to monensin and ionomycin.
The K(+) ionophore nigericin is shown to be highly effective as an ionophore for Pb(2+) but not other divalent cations, including Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Mn(2+), Co(2+), Ca(2+), Ni(2+), and Sr(2+). Among this group a minor activity for Cu(2+) transport is seen, while for the others activity is near or below the limit of detection. The selectivity of nigericin for Pb(2+) exceeds that of ionomyci...
متن کاملGraphene-DNAzyme based biosensor for amplified fluorescence "turn-on" detection of Pb2+ with a high selectivity.
On the basis of the remarkable difference in affinity of graphene (GO) with ssDNA containing a different number of bases in length, we for the first time report a GO-DNAzyme based biosensor for amplified fluorescence "turn-on" detection of Pb(2+). A FAM-labeled DNAzyme-substrate hybrid acted as both a molecular recognition module and signal reporter and GO as a superquencher. By taking advantag...
متن کاملEffect of a Carboxylic Acid on Rheological Properties of a High Alumina Cement Mortar
In this work, we studied the effect of carboxylic acid on the rheological properties of a high-alumina cement mortar (CH45) produced by the Algerian firm REFRACTAL.The investigated properties are setting time, water consumption, electrical conductivity, pH, density and the compressive strength. The results show a setting time of about 200 min for the acid...
متن کاملCation transport and specificity of ionomycin. Comparison with ionophore A23187 in rat liver mitochondria.
Based on the effects of ionomycin upon mitochondrial respiration, ionomycin was shown to be an effective ionophore for Ca2+ in rat liver mitochondria. The ionomycin-induced efflux of Ca2+ across the inner membrane was more sensitive to loading the mitochondria with Ca2+ than was efflux catalyzed by A23187. At saturating concentrations of Ca2+, the turnover number for ionomycin was 3- to 5-fold ...
متن کاملComplete globozoospermia associated with DPY19L2 mutation treated with calcium ionophore ionomycin and ICSI results in live birth
The successful outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with round-headed spermatozoa (globozoospermia) and ionomycin assisted activation oocytes is reported. A 30-year-old man with 100% globozoospermia underwent ICSI treatment. Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) detection indicates that the patient was DPY19L2 homozygous deletion. Nine metaphase II oocytes were injected with r...
