XLV.—On some fluorine-compounds of vanadium

Vanadium Pentoxide and Other Inorganic Vanadium Compounds

Vanadium Compounds as PTP Inhibitors.

Phosphotyrosine signaling is regulated by the opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Here we discuss the potential of vanadium derivatives as PTP enzyme inhibitors and metallotherapeutics. We describe how vanadate in the V oxidized state is thought to inhibit PTPs, thus acting as a pan-inhibitor of this enzyme superfamily. We discuss recent...

Thermochemistry of Organic Fluorine Compounds and Carbon Compounds

Rotating-bomb calorimetry was first applied to organic compounds that contain chlorine, bromine, or sulphur. Techniques developed for these classes of compounds, mostly at the University of Lund and at the Bureau of Mines in Bartlesville, have been described in the book Experimental Thermochemistry-, The development of rotating-bomb methods made accurate combustion calorimetry feasible for othe...

Determination of fluorine in organic compounds.

[Health effects of fluorine and its compounds].

Fluoride, the ionic form of fluorine, is a natural component of the biosphere and 13th most abundant element in the crust of the earth. It is, therefore, found in a wide range of concentrations in virtually all inanimate and living things. Many trace elements perform a definite function in human metabolism and the question of the value of fluoride, always found in the body, has been raised. Muc...
