During an investigation of the role of ions in growth regulation, it was found that ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA) inhibits DNA synthesis about 10-fold in cultures of chick embryo cells, while ethylene glycol bis(beta-amino ethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetate has no effect. RNA synthesis is only slightly inhibited by EDTA, and protein synthesis is unaffected. EDTA is inhibitory to DNA synthesi...

Pectic polysaccharides solubilized in vivo during ripening, were isolated using phenol, acetic acid, and water (PAW) from the outer pericarp of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev.] C.F. Liang and A.R. Ferguson var deliciosa ;Hayward') before and after postharvest ethylene treatment. Insoluble polysaccharides of the cell wall materials (CWMs) were solubilized in vitro by chemical extraction...

This work aims to investigate the competitive time-dependent desorption rate of heavy metals (lead, zinc, nickel) coexisting with phenanthrene from natural high buffering soil. Two non-ionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Brij 35) combined with disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate salt (Na2-EDTA) were utilized as the reagents. The contaminants’ time-dependent desorption data was fitted with five k...

A crude proteolytic enzyme preparation which hydrolyzes casein was isolated from the cotyledons of squash seedlings. The presence of ethylene diamine tetraacetate or cysteine did not appreciably affect the activity of the preparation. During the course of germination, the level of proteolytic activity increased in the cotyledons of intact embryos through the third day and then decreased. The pr...

ethylene bis-stearamide is one of the important acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ()abs)( polymer additives, which is used as lubricant, slip agent and mold release agent. in this research, ethylene bis-stearamide for abs application was synthesized using stearic acid and ethylene diamine under reflux condition. refluxing prevented ethylenediamine from evaporation and thus the initial molar ratio...

The objective of this research was to study the effectiveness of NaFeEDTA-fortified soy sauce for controlling iron deficiency in a high-risk population. This was an 18-month, randomized, placebo-controlled intervention trial in 14,000 residents aged three years or older in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China, using sodium-iron ethylene diamine tetraacetate (NaFeEDTA)-fortified soy sauce (29.6 m...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of chitosan (CS) salt forms and pH condition on the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 cell monolayer for enhanced permeability. Methods: Solutions (2 %w/v) of four different salt forms of CS-aspartate (CS-A), CS-ethylene diamine tetraacetate (CS-EDTA), CS-hydroxybenzotriazole (CS-HOBt) and CS-thiamine pyrophosphate (CSTPP) were prepared an...
