The crystal structure of cyclic AMP-catabolite activator protein (CAP) from Escherichia coli containing cobalt(II) chloride and ammonium sulfate is reported at 1.97 Å resolution. Each of the two CAP subunits in the asymmetric unit binds one cobalt(II) ion, in each case coordinated by N-terminal domain residues His19, His21 and Glu96 plus an additional acidic residue contributed via a crystal co...

Preparation of cobalt(II) derivatives of type 1 copper proteins has been extended to include bean plastocyanin and azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fluorescence quenching data suggest that Co(II) binds to the type 1 site of both apoplastocyanin and apoazurin. Electronic absorption spectral measurements have been made for cobalt(II)-stellacyanin, cobalt(II)-plastocyanin, and cobalt(II)-azurin...

Alcoholato Complexes, Cobalt(II) Chlorides Alcoholato complexes of cobalt(II) chloride with the general formula, C0CI2 • x R O H (where R = Me, Et, Pr», Bu», Bu«, Bu* and Bu') have been synthesised by the reactions of anhydrous C0CI2 with an excess of the appropriate alcohols under reflux. Physicochemical studies such as electronic, infra-red spectra, magnetic and conductivity measurements have...

The extraction and separation of copper(II), zinc(II), cobalt(II), and cadmium(II) were investigated. Both copper(II) and zinc(II) formed ammine-complexes, while cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) formed hydroxide precipitates in an ammonia medium. By the addition of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), a copper(II) complex formed an ion-pair (copper-ammine-DS), which was extracted into the SDS phase. However,...

Abstract CyMe4-BTPhen and CyMe4-BTBP are the principal ligand systems used in Europe for separation of actinides from lanthanides as a part SANEX process nuclear recycling reprocessing. We present new approach to synthesis CyMe4 fragment beginning readily available hydroxypivalic acid. It features cobalt-catalysed homocoupling neopentyl bromide provide key bisester precursor, thereby avoiding r...

The effects of methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) injection (75mg kg ) on cobalt levels in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and potential toxic effects of cobalt on human neurons were evaluated. A cohort of ASDs (n1⁄4 72) presenting to the Genetic Centers of America were evaluated for the frequency of methylcobalamin injections and cobalt levels using Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) test...

The electrochemical properties of a new Co(II) deuteroporphyrin substituted by two electropolymerizable pyrrole groups has been investigated in organic solvent. This functionalization has allowed the preparation of the first example of a cobalt deuteroporphyrin film by oxidative electropolymerization. The resulting conducting polypyrrole film exhibits the regular electroactivity of cobalt deute...

cobalt oxide (co3o4) nanorods were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using ethanol solution of cobalt nitrate as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (ctab) as surfactant. morphological properties of the nanoparticles were characterized. xrd measurement exhibited the structure of co3o4 nanocrystals for annealed samples. the sem images revealed that the particles changed from...
