background: heavy metals have detrimental effects on the health of human being. the values of manganese (mn) and lead (pb) in some plant species and soil samples in an arid area of iran were evaluated in this study. methods: the values of pb and mn in 94 plant samples from 8 plant species and the related soil samples in 2010 were considered in shahroud and damghan, central iran. moreover, the s...

Recent studies have identified human PrimPol as a new RNA/DNA primase and translesion DNA synthesis polymerase (TLS pol) that contributes to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication. We investigated the mechanism of PrimPol polymerase activity on both undamaged and damaged DNA substrates. With Mg²⁺ as a cofactor, PrimPol binds primer-template DNA with low affinity K(d,DNA) values (∼200-1200 nM...

in order to investigate the effect of mn and salinity on some physiological and echophysiological characteristics of pistachio seedlings (cv. badami-e-zarand) in sand culture (perlite medium), a factorial greenhouse experiment was carried out in the framework of a completely randomized design comprised of two factors namely: salinity (zero, 75, 150, 225 and 300 mm nacl) and mn (zero, 12, 24 and...

New sulfate and hydrogen sulfate complexes of metalloporphyrins have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized and their photochemistry examined. Irradiation of [Mn(TPP)],(SO,) and Mn(TPP)(OS03H) (where TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate(2-)) produces Mn"(TPP) quantitatively, with quantum yields of 7.1 X IO4 and 9.8 X IO-', respectively. In contrast to other manganese oxoani...

In the title compound, [Mn(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)Cl(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(4)](n), the two Mn(II) atoms lie on inversion centers and are connected by the N-heterocyclic ligands into a wave-like lamellar framework structure. One Mn(II) atom is covalently bonded to two Cl atoms and the other to two benzyl-acetate anions; both Mn atoms show distorted octahedral coordinations.

The first Mn L-edge absorption spectra of a Mn metalloprotein are presented in this paper. Both reduced and superoxidized Mn catalase have been examined by fluorescence-detected soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and their Mn L-edge spectra are dramatically different. The spectrum of reduced Mn(II)Mn(II) catalase has been interpreted by ligand field atomic multiplet calculations and by compari...

The synthesis and magnetic properties are reported of two new clusters [Mn(10)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(2)CMe)(8)(hmp)(8)](ClO(4))(4) (1) and [Mn(7)(OH)(3)(hmp)(9)Cl(3)](Cl)(ClO(4)) (2). Complex 1 was prepared by treatment of [Mn(3)O(O(2)CMe)(6)(py)(3)](ClO(4)) with 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (hmpH) in CH(2)Cl(2), whereas 2 was obtained from the reaction of MnCl(2).4H(2)O, hmpH, and NBu(n)(4)MnO(4) in MeCN ...
