Temperature and cations modified the reaction of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Conguest) root plasma membrane protein sulfhydryl groups with N-4-(7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-yl)-phenyl maleimide (CPM). The pseudo-first-order rate constants for the formation of fluorescent CPM-protein adducts increased as the temperature was raised above 30 degrees C, suggesting changes in protein conforma...

The ability to mix multiple elements in a structure is crucial for obtaining Cu-based nanostructures and microstructures with desirable physicochemical properties. Precursors containing metal cations, such as layered double hydroxides, have been used the synthesis of multielement materials. However, these precursors experience difficulty large which limits functionalities derived Herein, develo...

Based on indirect evidence, a role for synaptically released copper and zinc as modulators of neuronal activity has been proposed. To test this proposal directly, we studied the effect of copper, zinc, and other divalent cations on voltage-dependent currents in dissociated toad olfactory neurons and on their firing rate induced by small depolarizing currents. Divalent cations in the nanomolar r...

The time-dependent role of cations was investigated by ageing four different aqueous solutions of cation chlorides. A linear correlation was found between the cations’ Setchenov coefficient for the salting-out of benzene and the increase in the conductivity with time. The conductivity of the structure-breaking cations or the chaotropes increased more significantly with time than the conductivit...

in this study, the feasibility of using magnetic technology to reduce the dispersion of soil has been investigated. the reference treatment was potable water and 3 magnetic water devices (with different magnetic intensities) were used for magnetizing the potable water. the results showed that the magnetic field has a significant effect in order of 5 percent on increasing of magnesium concentrat...

The effect of bivalent cations on phosphate uptake by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Phosphate uptake via the Na+-dependent transport system at pH 7.2 is stimulated by bivalent cations. The apparent affinity of phosphate for the transport mechanism is increased, but the apparent affinity for Na+ is decreased. Uptake of phosphate via the Na+-independent transport system is accompanie...
