Transition metals in plant photosynthesis.
Transition metals are involved in essential biological processes in plants since they are cofactors of metalloproteins and also act as regulator elements. Particularly, plant chloroplasts are organelles with high transition metal ion demand because metalloproteins are involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The transition metal requirement of photosynthetic organisms greatly ex...
متن کاملThe impact of transition metals on bacterial plant disease.
Metals play essential roles in many biological processes but are toxic when present in excess. This makes their transport and homoeostatic control of particular importance to living organisms. Within the context of plant-pathogen interactions the availability and toxicity of transition metals can have a substantial impact on disease development. Metals are essential for defensive generation of ...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in transition metals.
A qualitative account of the occurrence and magnitude of superconductivity in the transition metals is presented, with a primary emphasis on elements of the first row. Correlations of the important parameters of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity are highlighted with respect to the number of d-shell electrons per atom of the transition elements. The relation between the s...
متن کاملCorrelation Effects in Transition Metals
We review the recent progress in the theory of electron correlations in transition metals. Both qualitative picture and the quantitative results obtained for the magnetic moments, exchange splittings, Stoner parameter and magnetovolume effect of Fe, Co and Ni are presented and discussed in detail.
متن کاملIncreased levels of transition metals
OBJECTIVES: High levels of transition metals such as iron, nickel, chromium, copper, and lead are closely related to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, formation of DNA strand breaks, and tumor growth in cellular systems. In order to determine the correlation to malignant growth in humans, we investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in 20 breast cancer biopsies and compared the f...
