We have sequenced the Sphedgehog (Sphh) gene from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Sphh transcripts are detected first at the mesenchyme blastula stage, and they accumulate throughout early embryogenesis. The Sphh protein is produced by precursor pigment cells during early and midgastrulation. NiCl2 inhibits pigment cell differentiation in sea urchins. Here, we show that, in S. pur...

The title compound, [Fe3(C11H11N2O5)2Cl3(C2H6OS)3]2·7C2H6OS·2H2O, was isolated accidentally from an Fe0-NiCl2·6H2O-H3L-TEA-DMSO system [where H3L is the product of the condensation between p-nitro-salicyl-aldehyde and 2-amino-2-methyl-propane-1,3-diol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and TEA is triethylamine]. The structure is based on a trinuclear {Fe3(μ-O)4} core, with an angular arrangement of...

UiO-66 là họ vật liệu khung hữu cơ kim loại tổng hợp bằng phương pháp nhiệt dung môi có diện tích bề mặt riêng lớn (1071 m2·g–1). Vật này được biến tính NiCl2 theo trực tiếp (Nix(tt)/UiO-66) và gián (Niy(gt)/UiO-66). Kết quả đặc trưng hai nhiễu xạ tia X, hiển vi điện tử quét phổ hồng ngoại khác nhau không đáng kể. Tuy nhiên, phân trọng lượng đẳng hấp phụ – khử N2 cho thấy sự giữa các hợp.

Few treatments are known that perturb the dorsoventral axis of the sea urchin embryo. We report here that the dorsoventral polarity of the sea urchin embryo can be disrupted by treatment of embryos with NiCl2. Lytechinus variegatus embryos treated with 0.5 mM NiCl2 from fertilization until the early gastrula stage appear morphologically normal until the midgastrula stage, when they fail to acqu...

The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, [NiCl2(C3H4N2)2(NH3)2], is generated by inversion symmetry. The Ni(II) ion, which is located on an inversion center, has a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by two ammine N atoms and two Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, with two N atoms of two imidazole groups occupying the axial positions. The imidazole ring makes a dih...
