(2021-12-16)Copper is an essential micronutrient that is used as a cofactor for enzymes involved in diverse cellular processes including mitochondrial respiration and iron transport. However, free copper is highly reactive and deleterious ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Precipitated iron catalysts were characterized using temperature-programmed methods, isothermal reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the influence of copper and potassium promoters on reduction behavior ...
-
(2022-07-20)Copper is an essential micronutrient required for the proper biological function of numerous enzymes. Absorption, transportation, and elimination of copper is highly regulated due to potential pathological effects of copper ...
-
(2010-01-14)Underwater excavations of a Late Bronze Age shipwreck at Uluburun, Turkey recovered a combined 475 oxhide and plano-convex discoid copper ingots. While the hoard of ingots excavated at Uluburun brings the total number of ...
-
(2014-04-08)Mitochondria house the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), the main site for cellular respiration and energy production. The MRC consists of five large protein complexes (I-V) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Despite ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The pathogenesis of copper-induced hepatocellular biomembrane peroxidation was studied in male Fischer rats by analyzing hepatic morphologic alterations, measuring the activity of hepatic free radical scavenger enzymes, ...

(2022-08-19)Urinary Tract Infections are a global health concern affecting approximately 7-11 million people in the United States annually. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary etiologic agent of uncomplicated UTIs, ...
-
(2017-06-16)Mitochondria contain a low-molecular-mass (LMM) pool of weakly bound iron complexes, called the labile iron pool (LIP). Although its composition and biological function remain largely uncharacterized, the LIP has been ...
-
(2017-08-30)In recent years, superconductors have become a topic of great interest in the scientific and industrial communities due to their ability to carry large currents with zero resistivity. Most superconducting wires have a ...
-
(2011-08-08)The focus of this research is the development of high strength, high conductivity copper films. Pure copper is soft and traditional strengthening mechanisms cause substantial decrease in conductivity. To address the ...
