Tungsten in biological systems.
Tungsten (atomic number 74) and the chemically analogous and very similar metal molybdenum (atomic number 42) are minor yet equally abundant elements on this planet. The essential role of molybdenum in biology has been known for decades and molybdoenzymes are ubiquitous. Yet, it is only recently that a biological role for tungsten has been established in prokaryotes, although not as yet in euka...
متن کاملCooperativity in biological systems
Living organisms can sense and respond to external and internal stimuli. Response isdemonstrated in many forms including modulation of gene expression profiles, motility,secretion, cell death, etc. Nevertheless, all forms share a basic property: they depend on sensingsmall changes in the concentration of an effector molecule or subtle conformational changes ina protein and invoking the appropri...

متن کاملThe determination of tungsten in biological material by activation analysis.
Tungsten exists at such low concentrations in normal biological material that it has been detected only in tissues from animals previously fed with unusually large quantities of tungsten (Kinard & Van de Erve, 1941), or plants growing in tungsten-rich soils (J. P. R. Polkinhorne, personal communication). In view of the discovery that the related element molybdenum is essential for plants and an...
متن کاملBiological Application of Layered Double Hydroxides in Drug Delivery Systems
This review focuses on the extensive study of different layered double hydroxides (LDHs)nanostructures and also their biological and physicochemical (in vitro) properties to encapsulateand deliver drugs with a recognized pharmacokinetic profile in a sustained/modified manner forbetter remedial efficacy contrasted to the corresponding conventional treatments using different<br ...
