چکیده

The ways in which certain inorganic elements are used in essential roles within biological systems generally are described. The two roles stressed are (1) electrolytic charge movements and (2) electronic charge movement. The value of helical proteins inside and outside membranes as mechanical coupling devices is analysed.

Thermodynamic study of interaction between some transition metal ions and L-Alanine

Using UV-vis spectrophotometic method, the formation constants for interaction of Cd2+(aq) andCo2+(aq) ions with L-Alanine were experimentally studied at pH = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mM of potassiumhydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strength of 0.1M potassium nitrate and at 5 differenttemperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35°C. The optical absorption spectra of mixtures containingconsidered cations and L-Alanine ...

Spectrophotometric Study of Complex Formations between Alprazolam and Some Transition Metal Ions in Non Aqueous Solution

In this study, the complexation reaction between Alprazolam (ALP) and metal ions (Zn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Co2+) was investigated by using spectrophotometry in ethanol solvent. The stoichiometry of M+/ALP complexes was calculated by applying the Job, molar ratio and Continuous Changes methods and the relevant diagrams were plotted for each metal ions in each method. The results show that the obtain...
