Contradictory findings on the effects of sodium molybdate on estrogen receptor activation have been recently reported. In a preliminary report (Mauck, L. A., and Notides, A. C. (1980) Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society, Abstr. 209) it was suggested that sodium molybdate prevents heat activation of the calf uterine estrogen receptor. This effect was reversible upon d...

Inhibition of 3':5'-cyclic-AMP-5'-nucleotidohydrolase (EC 3.1.4.17) type II (cAMP-phosphodiesterase) by sodium molybdate was studied: While determination of inorganic phosphate and 5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase (5'-nucleotidase) (EC 3.1.3.5) activity was not disturbed by sodium molybdate in concentrations up to 10 mM, cAMP-phosphodiesterase was inhibited by millimolar concentrations of mol...

in this research, mesoporous silica was applied as the host of corrosion inhibitor (molybdate). the loaded mesoporous silica was dispersed in an epoxy matrix. the composite was then coated on the mild steel plate. results showed that the corrosion resistance of the scratched epoxy/mesoporous silica loaded by molybdate was better than the one without molybdate or neat epoxy. on the other hand, e...

n-propylsulfamic acid supported onto magnetic fe3o4 nanoparticles (mnps-psa) was investigated as an efficient and magnetically recoverable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of substituted coumarins from the reaction of coumarin with variety aromatic aldehydes in high to excellent yield at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. the magnetic nanocatalyst can be readily recovered easily ...

With a recently developed method we detected rapid and sequential reorganization of vitamin D receptors (VDR), including their temporary association with fibers, and we showed that calcitriol induces cGMP accumulation around reorganizing VDRs. In this report we first identified the VDR-associated fibers as microtubules: they show immunoreactivity with tubulin antisera and were sensitive to tubu...

Molybdenum is an essential component of the cofactors of many metalloenzymes including nitrate reductase and Mo-nitrogenase. The cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 uses nitrate and atmospheric N2 as sources of nitrogen for growth. Two of the three nitrogenases in this strain are Mo-dependent enzymes, as is nitrate reductase; thus, transport of molybdate is important for growth of thi...

The phototrophic purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus encodes two transcriptional regulators, MopA and MopB, with partially overlapping and specific functions in molybdate-dependent gene regulation. Both MopA and MopB consist of an N-terminal DNA-binding helix-turn-helix domain and a C-terminal molybdate-binding di-MOP domain. They formed homodimers as apo-proteins and in the molybdate-bound...

In this research, this possibility was investigated the relative stablilty geometry and bindingenergies of the hydrogen bonds of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex in gas phase onthe basis of result of ab initio and DFT calculations. Three DFT methods have been applied forcalculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets:D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hy...

BACKGROUND Arsenic (As) toxicity is primarily based on its chemical speciation. Although inorganic and methylated As species are well characterized in terms of metabolism and formation in the human body, the origin of thiolated methylarsenicals is still unclear. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) from the human gut are actively involved in the thiolation...
