Histidine as the Functional Group for a Chelating Ion Exchanger
In the chelating ion exchanger synthesized, the amino group of histidine is attached chemically via the azide method to the carboxyl group of Amberlite IRC-50. A flow system based on a spectrophotometric detector, with 4-( 2-pyridylazo)resorcinol as reagent, is described for fast assays of eluted cations. The pH dependence of the metal extraction is reported for Ag(I), Au(III), Cu(II), Fe(III),...
متن کاملClotrimazole-triiodide ion association as an ion exchanger for a triiodide ion-selective electrode.
A novel triiodide ion-selective electrode based on a clotrimazole-triiodide ion pair as a membrane carrier was prepared. It has a linear response to triiodide from 8 x 10(-6) to 5 x 10(-3) M with a slope of -68.9 mV per decade and a detection limit of 5 x 10(-6) M. The electrode response is independent of the pH of the solution in the pH range 2-9. It has a very short response time and can be u...
متن کاملCrystallographic studies of the conformational changes that drive directional transmembrane ion movement in bacteriorhodopsin.
Recent advances in the determination of the X-ray crystallographic structures of bacteriorhodopsin, and some of its photointermediates, reveal the nature of the linkage between the relaxation of electrostatic and steric conflicts at the retinal and events elsewhere in the protein. The transport cycle can be now understood in terms of specific and well-described displacements of hydrogen-bonded ...
متن کاملRemoval of Cesium on Polyaniline Titanotungstate as Composite Ion Exchanger
Polyaniline titanotungstate (PATiW) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. Adsorption isotherm studies of Cs from aqueous solution are described. Elemental Composition, chemical solubility, ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and pH titration are studied. Distribution coefficients (Kd) for ten metal ions have been determined. It was found that the polyaniline titanotungstate has high affinity and high ...
متن کاملLight-Controlled Spin Filtering in Bacteriorhodopsin
The role of the electron spin in chemistry and biology has received much attention recently owing to to the possible electromagnetic field effects on living organisms and the prospect of using molecules in the emerging field of spintronics. Recently the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect was observed by electron transmission through organic molecules. In the present study, we demonstrated t...
