calcium acetate is used as an oral phosphate binder to control hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure. compared to calcium carbonate, control of hyperphosphatemia can be achieved at lower calcium administration with calcium acetate which likely reduces the risk of hypercalcemia. in this study, various formulations of calcium acetate tablets were prepared and their disintegrati...

inoculation of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms along with rock phosphate is known to enhance the available p from soil. the success of such solubilization is largely dependent on the ability of the inoculant strain to survive under adverse environmental conditions. in this context, liquid inoculants are gaining importance and are becoming popular with longer shelf-life. in the present inv...

some kinetic properties of nad+- and nadp+- dependent glucose 6-phosphatedehydrogenase (g6pd) purified from streptomyces aureofaciens were studied. both nadh andnadph inhibited the enzyme competitively and noncompetitively, with respect to the correspondingcoenzymes and glucose 6-phosphate, respectively. atp inhibited the nad+ - linked reaction but not thatof the nadp+- linked activity. the inh...

the voltammetric behaviour of sulfadoxine (sdn) was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in 0.2 m phosphate buffer solutions using cyclic, differential-pulse (dpv) and square wave voltammetry (swv). the dependence of the current on ph, concentration, and scan rate was investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of sdn. the oxidation process was shown to be diffusi...

Synaptobrevin 2 is thought to facilitate fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane through formation of a soluble NSF attachment protein receptor complex (SNARE) with syntaxin 1a and a synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25). Previous reports have described a homodimer of synaptobrevin that is dependent on the transmembrane domain. However, these reports disagree abo...

in order to evaluate the effect of balanced application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and on the yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) under normal and limited irrigation conditions, a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was con...

Background: Phosphorus is an indispensable element for the growth of animals and plants. There are several environmental problems related to phosphate; therefore, the technical and economic methods of removing phosphate are of great importance. This study evaluated the efficiency of polyaniline/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 magnetic nanocomposite in removing phosphate from aqueous environments. Methods: The...
