Beyond Hofmeister.
Last year saw the 125th anniversary of the publication by Franz Hofmeister from the German University in Prague of a seminal paper1 entitled ‘Concerning regularities in the protein-precipitating effects of salts and the relationship of these effects to the physiological behaviour of salts’. This was the second and arguably most important article in a series of seven papers with the running titl...
متن کاملHopes for sterile males
A new technique for sorting male and female mosquito larvae may lead to the use of sterile males in tackling malaria. Nigel Williams reports. the testicles of the male mosquitoes fluorescent, allowing the scientists to distinguish and easily separate them from females. The plan is to breed, sterilize and release millions of these male insects so they mate with females but produce no offspring. ...
متن کاملModeling Hofmeister Effects.
A two dimensional model of water, so-called Mercedes-Benz model, was used to study effects of the size of hydrophobic solute on the insertion thermodynamics in electrolyte solutions. The model was examined by the constant pressure Monte Carlo computer simulation. The results were compared with the experimental data for noble gasses and methane in water and electrolyte solution. The influence of...
متن کاملNew hopes for neurologically disabled.
The later half of the twentieth century witnessed rapid advances in our understanding of the nervous system, in health and disease, as a result of developments in diverse fields. Beginning in the 1950’s, neurochemical and neuropharmacological investigations resulted in the identification of a host of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, neurohormones, the mechanisms of their storage, release, re...
متن کاملOrigin of Hofmeister Effects for Complex Systems
Hofmeister effects have been recognized as important as Mendel's work was to genetics while remain largely controversial, especially for the mechanistic aspects. Here we demonstrated that complex colloids in electrolyte solutions show resembling aggregation kinetics as model colloid, and then quantitatively evaluated the resulting Hofmeister effects. Mechanism for the aggregation of complex col...
