(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)An investigation of the relation of surface H to that adsorbed in the metal was carried out. During the course of this investigation a number of subsidiary investigations were made. These include an investigation of the ...
-
(2017-07-18)Arsenic (As) groundwater contamination is a common problem in southeast Asia and many people continue to drink water with toxic concentrations of As. More in-depth understanding of the underlying geochemistry, hydrology, ...
-
(2011-08-08)An integrative biophysical and bioanalytical approach to studying the Fe distribution in isolated mitochondria was developed. This procedure involved large-scale growths, the inclusion of a chelator in isolation buffers ...
-
(2017-04-21)One promising strategy to manage the large volumes of water needed for and wastewater generated by hydraulic fracturing is on-site treatment and reuse. In particular, the saline flowback water contains many of the chemicals ...
-
(2020-01-11)The foci of this work were in characterizing and speciating the low molecular mass (LMM) iron pool in blood. We operationally define this pool as non-proteinaceous iron species with masses <10 kDa. In iron overload disorders ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The solubility, oxidation, reduction, adsorption, and reactivity of iron are known to influence its bioavailability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the above factors in digestive mixtures using spectrophotometry ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2013-11-27)Transition metals play essential roles in biological systems, but Fe can also be toxic to cells. In order to maintain this balance between necessity and toxicity mechanisms are employed for regulating and storing intracellular ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Transferrin, the serum iron transport protein, binds two Fe('3+) ions. Fe('3+) is not bound in the absence of carbonate or a substitute synergistic anion which serves to complete the metal binding site. In this study ...
-
(2006-08-16)Coxiella burnetii is a gram negative, obligate intracellular bacterium. It is the etiologic agent of Q fever in a variety of species including livestock, humans and arthropods. The bacterium infects the monocytes of its ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Virulent and avirulent strains of Listeria monocytogenes , a facultative intracellular parasite, were cultured in deferrated media supplemented with varying [micro]g concentrations of ferric iron, supplied either as a free ...
-
(2018-08-30)Iron is a crucial nutrient in most living systems. It forms the active centers of many proteins that are critical for many cellular functions, either by themselves or as Fe-S clusters and hemes. However, Fe is potentially ...
-
(2018-08-07)Iron is a critical micronutrient that marine phytoplankton need to perform photosynthesis that produces about half of the world’s oxygen. Colloidal iron (0.003-0.2 μm) comprises a significant portion of the oceanic ...
