Facilitated SO4(2-) transfers by hydrogen bond-forming ionophores are investigated across the nitrobenzene (NB)-water interface by using polarography with a dropping electrolyte electrode. Bis-thiourea 1, alpha,alpha'-bis(N'-p-nitrophenylthioureylene)-m-xylene, is found to significantly facilitate the transfer of the highly hydrophilic SO4(2-) whereas its counterpart, N-(p-nitrophenyl)-N'-propy...

SO4(2-) transport by winter flounder intestine in Ussing chambers was characterized. With 50 mM SO4(2-) (physiological level) bathing the lumen, net absorption (lumen to blood) dominated. Under short-circuited conditions, 1 mM SO4(2-) on both sides, net active SO4(2-) secretion occurred (8.55 +/- 0.96 nmol. cm(-2). h(-1)). NaCN (10 mM), ouabain (10(-4) M), and luminal DIDS (0.2 mM) inhibited ne...

Stable sulfur isotope measurements (delta34S) made on samples collected from a 2 m snowpit on the Inilchek Glacier, Tien Shan Mountains (42.16 degrees N, 80.25 degrees E, 5100 m) are used to estimate sources of sulfate (SO4(2-)) in high-elevation Central Asian precipitation. Comparison of snowpit oxygen isotope (delta18O) data with previous work constrains the age of the snowpit samples to the ...

In our previous work fused pyrimidine and thiopyrimidine nucleoside analogs (2, 3b, 3c, 4a and 4c) as well as sulfated oligosaccharides (Maltose SO4, Raffinose SO4, Stachyose SO4, Chondroitin-6-sulfate, Maltohexaose SO4) were prepared. The objective of this study was to elucidate the antitumor activity of prepared compounds against Erlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC) bearing mice through monit...

Four thorium sulfate compounds have been synthesized and characterized. [Th(SO4)2(H2O)7] 2H2O (ThS1) crystallizes in space group P21/m, a1⁄47.2488(4), b1⁄412.1798(7), c1⁄48.0625(5) Å, b1⁄498.245(1); Na10[Th2(SO4)9(H2O)2] 3H2O (ThS2), Pna21, a1⁄417.842(2), b1⁄46.9317(8), c1⁄427.550(3) Å; Na2[Th2(SO4)5 (H2O)3] H2O (ThS3), C2/c, a1⁄416.639(2), b1⁄49.081(1), c1⁄425.078(3) Å, b1⁄4 95.322(2); [Th4(SO...

Effects of adrenalectomy on increases in noradrenaline (NA) turnover induced by a one-hour immobilization stress were examined by measuring the levels of NA and its major metabolite, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol sulfate (MHPG-SO4) in specific brain regions of the rat. Bilateral adrenalectomy alone does not affect basal levels of NA and MHPG-SO4 in the brain regions examined with the ...

Functional evaluation of chemically modified human erythrocytes has led to the proposal that amino acid residue E681 of the band 3 anion exchanger AE1 lies on the anion translocation pathway and is a proton carrier required for H+/SO4(2-) cotransport. We have tested in Xenopus oocytes the functional consequences of mutations in the corresponding residue E699 of mouse AE1. Most mutations tested ...

We present new data of oxygen isotopes in marine sulfate ( δ 18 O SO4 ) in pore fluid profiles through organic-rich deep-sea sediments from 11 ODP sites around the world. In almost all sites studied sulfate is depleted with depth, through both organic matter oxidation and anaerobic methane oxidation. The δ 18 O SO4 increases rapidly near the top of the sediments, from seawater values of 9‰ to m...

representation of the dimeric units of K2[Zr(SO4)3]. 2H20. Examination of this structure shows that breaking and remaking one oxygen bridge in each dimeric ring of K2[Zr(SO4)3.2H20 would result in the formation of infinite-Zr-O-SO -Zr-chains similar to those found in Na2[Zr(SO4)3]. 3H20 [Fig. 3(c)] and we see that in these two compounds we have an extension of the structural arrangements alread...
