returning crop residues into the soil as a source of organic matter are an important source of copper and can play an important role in the soil fertility. in addition to the role of the organic matter in increasing the concentration of micronutrients in soil solution, attention should be also paid to the role of the kind and the quantity of the root’s exudates released in response to the incor...

Copper isotopic composition is altered in cancerous compared to healthy tissues. However, the rationale for this difference is yet unknown. As a model of Cu isotopic fractionation, we monitored Cu uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whose Cu import is similar to human. Wild type cells are enriched in 63Cu relative to 65Cu. Likewise, 63Cu isotope enrichment in cells without high-affinity Cu tran...

Mung bean plants (Wilczek) accumulate increasingly greater amounts of buffer-extractable copper in both their shoots and roots when grown in liquid medium containing greater than 2 micrograms per milliliter copper (31.4 micromolar) as cupric sulfate. This increase in soluble copper is accompanied by an increase in the relative amount of low molecular weight (7,000 to 20,000) macromolecular-boun...

Copper in bile has been shown by electrophoresis to occur neither as free ions nor complexed to protein but to be associated with a component of the micellar complexes of bile. Solvent fractionation studies suggest that the bile salt components of the lecithin-bile salt complexes are the active binding agents. The effects of specific bile salts on the behaviour of copper during electrophoresis ...

Copper, obtained from porphyry deposits formed in arc settings, is a critical resource, and primarily sourced magmas. However, the processes that shape copper contents of magmas are up for debate. Existing models place emphasis on different petrological agents explain large-scale trends systematics. Previous studies have noted ’Cu paradox,’ where with high Sr/Y ratios, indicative ore-forming po...

Copper plays an essential role in processes including signaling to the transcription and protein trafficking machinery, oxidative phosphorylation, iron mobilization, neuropeptide maturation, and normal development. Whereas much is known about intracellular mobilization of ions such as calcium, little information is available on how eukaryotic cells mobilize intracellular copper stores. We descr...
