The present invention relates to a novel composition of matter having utility in the sequestering or complexing of metal ions particularly calcium and / or magnesium ions. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a unique combination of water – soluble aminopolyacetate demonstrating improved chelating properties. Sequestering agent are employed in a number of applications such...

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is evaluated as an elucidation tool for structural features and molecular weights estimation of some extracted herbaceous lignins. Optimization of analysis conditions, using a typical organic matrix, namely α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), in combination with α-cyclodextrin, allows efficient ionizatio...

The local structures of U(V1) oxide precipitates produced as a function of LiOH concentration have been studied by XAFS. Curve-fitting analyses indicate that the solid formed in 0.1 M LiOH is similar to a schoepite-like phase where distinct linear uranyl ions (UO?) are bridged along the equator by OH ions. At higher LiOH concentrations, the uranyl groups become elongated and the precipitate str...

A substance was demonstrated in erythrocytes which antagonized the inhibiting effect of apple pectin on influenza virus hemagglutination. This substance was purified and found to be a water-soluble material, rather labile, and with some properties which suggested that it contained a polysaccharide. It was destroyed in vitro by highly purified preparations of the virus. It occurred in greatest a...

Membrane protein complexes are commonly introduced to the mass spectrometer solubilized in detergent micelles. The collisional activation used to remove the detergent, however, often causes protein unfolding and dissociation. As in the case for soluble proteins, electrospray in the positive ion mode is most commonly used for the study of membrane proteins. Here we show several distinct advantag...

Abstract Chromate ions CrO 4 −2 have been used in three simples, rapid, an accurate spectrophotometric method. These methods were suggested to estimate mefenamic acid its pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. different from each other with reactants components, they are similar as, indirect depends on oxidation – reduction reaction. So that, Method 1, based reaction between chromate ion pr...

The synthesis and solubility behaviors of four generation five (G5) triazine dendrimers are studied. While the underivatized cationic dendrimer is soluble in water, the acetylated and propanoylated derivatives undergo coacervation in water upon increasing temperature. Occurring around room temperature, this behavior is related to a liquid-liquid phase transition with a lower critical solution t...

Mo3e is a protein (p 50,80) that is expressed on the surface of human monocytic cells after exposure in vitro to soluble activating factors that include bacterial lipopolysaccharide, muramyl dipeptide, and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). The surface expression of Mo3e may represent a cellular event that occurs in response to the formation of "secondary messengers" that include diacylglycerol, ...

A prototype linear octopole ion trap/ion mobility/tandem mass spectrometer has been coupled with a nanoflow liquid chromatography separation approach and used to separate and characterize a complicated peptide mixture from digestion of soluble proteins extracted from human urine. In this approach, two dimensions of separation (nanoflow liquid chromatography and ion mobility) are followed by col...
