the biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of such metal ions from aqueous solutions. in this study, the adsorption properties of nonliving biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium for pb (ii) and zn (ii) were investigated by the use of batch adsorption techniques. the effects of initial metal ion concentration, initial ph, biosorbent concentration, stirring speed...

current study is aimed to compare fluride release in conventional glass ionomer, light-cured glass ionomer and compomers. standard samples from the aforementioned materials were prepared and measured by selective fluride ion electrode in intervals of 24hours, 1,2,3 and 4 weeks in neutral ph of 7 and acidic ph of 4.5. the obtained data represented that fluride ion release decreased in time but t...

a proton nmr method for the drtermination of salvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with hexamethyl phosphoramide (hmpa) in nitromethane (nm) as diluents is described. the method is based on monitoring the resonance frequency of hmpa protons as a function of hmpa / metal ion molar ratio at constant metalion concentration. the average salvation number of cations,  , at any hmpa / metal ion ...

Escherichia coli apomanganese superoxide dismutase, prepared by removing the native metal ion under denaturing conditions, exhibits thermally triggered metal uptake behavior previously observed for thermophilic and hyperthermophilic superoxide dismutases but over a lower temperature range. Differential scanning calorimetry of aposuperoxide dismutase and metalated superoxide dismutase unfolding ...

AIM The metal ion released from the orthodontic appliance may cause allergic reactions particularly nickel and chromium ions. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine the amount of nickel, chromium, copper, cobalt and iron ions released from simulated orthodontic appliance made of new archwires and brackets. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty sets of new archwire, band material, brackets and li...

a thermodynamic study on the interaction between zinc ion (zn2+) and human growth hormone(hgh) was studied at two temperatures of 27c and 37c in aqueous solution using an isothermal titrationcalorimetry. it was found that there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for zn2+ ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 1.54...

The DNA mismatch repair protein MutS acts as a molecular switch. It toggles between ADP and ATP states and is regulated by mismatched DNA. This is analogous to G-protein switches and the regulation of their "on" and "off" states by guanine exchange factors. Although GDP release in monomeric GTPases is accelerated by guanine exchange factor-induced removal of magnesium from the catalytic site, w...

The production of metal hydrides in vapour phase is one of the problems which makes their spectroscopic investigation at high resolution difficult. The molecular densities are usually low and the absorption is often increased by the use of multipass cells or intracavity setups. In this contribution a discharge tube with coaxial geometry is investigated, which is able to produce relatively high ...

salicylic acid-formaldehyde-m-cresol (sfm) terpolymer had been synthesized in dmf media by conventional method. the resulting resin had been characterized by ftir spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. the morphology of sfm resin had been studied by sem and optical photograph. various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of ph on ion exchange capacity and effect of concentr...
