The detoxification effect of metal-binding proteins in animals from polluted areas has been cited, but there have been only very few studies relating metal-binding proteins to pollution.
Our strategy afforded exquisite selectivity for Hg2+ against other environmentally related metal ions.
The strategy afforded exquisite selectivity for Hg2+ against other environmentally related metal ions.
In addition, an outstanding selectivity of the sensor for Pb2+ against other environmentally related metal ions was observed.
Traditional biotic ligand models were the first attempts to relate metal bioavailability, as manifested by metal toxicity, to the concentration of adsorbed metal on organisms, using a single generic 'biotic' ligand as the lone metal binding site on the organism.
The catalytic efficiency is about 200,000-fold less efficient than the most catalytically efficient chromate reductase, a similarly related metal reductase, isolated from Thermus scotoductus [ 29].
Despite its prevalent use in cancer treatment, very little work has been done [ 7- 10] to document the effects of Cisplatin and related metal complexes in controlling the proliferation behavior of C. alibcans.
Repeated porewater sampling in the first few weeks after S application showed that after an initial high rate of S oxidation, SO42– and H+ production as well as related metal solubilization level off in bulk soils.
The town's economy grew with the development of steelmaking, related metal-working industries, and a number of other activities such as brewing and chemical and glass manufacture.
Due to its polymorphism and the related metal-ion defect structure, In2Se3 has attracted substantial attention as a promising semiconductor material for several different applications such as photovoltaic solar cell [7, 8], optoelectronics [9], and ionic battery [10].
These enzymes have related metal-coordination chemistry to the MBL-fold enzyme superfamily (30); here we report crystallographic studies on human ETHE1.
