The hydrogen reduction of molybdenum trioxide to dioxide is not yet fully understood as evident by continuous scientific interest. Especially the effect potassium content on process has been considered. We prepared several samples containing varying amounts addition molybdate (K2MoO4). In situ powder X-ray diffraction experiments were then conducted study these samples. especially focused influ...

Recently, much research has investigated nanocomposites and their properties for the development of energy storage systems. Supercapacitor performance is usually enhanced by use porous electrode structures, which produce a larger surface area reaction. In this work, biocompatible polymer starch medium was used to create nanostructure. Two powders, i.e., Nickel molybdate/reduced graphene oxide (...

The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is synthesized by an ancient and conserved biosynthetic pathway. In plants, the two-domain protein Cnx1 catalyzes the insertion of molybdenum into molybdopterin (MPT), a metal-free phosphorylated pyranopterin carrying an ene-dithiolate. Recently, we identified a novel biosynthetic intermediate, adenylated molybdopterin (MPT-AMP), which is synthesized by the C-term...

The simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of phosphate and silicate ions in river water was examined by using ion-exclusion chromatography and post-column derivatization. Phosphate and silicate ions were separated by the ion-exclusion column packed with a polymethacrylate-based weakly acidic cation-exchange resin in the H(+)-form (TSKgel Super IC-A/C) by using ultra pure water as an elu...

The increased rate of hydrolysis of organic phosphate compounds in the presence of molybdate has been observed frequently and is the basis for the estimation of phosphocreatine (1) and acetyl phosphate (2) in tissue extracts. A study was undertaken to determine whether this was a general effect and, if so, to elucidate the mechanism. While these experiments were in progress, Weil-Malherbe and G...

The 90-kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that aids the folding of nuclear hormone receptors and protein kinases. Hsp90 x protein complexes can be stabilized by molybdate and by other transition metal oxyanions such as vanadate. Our earlier findings [Csermely, P., Kajtár, J., Hollósi, M., Jalsovszky, G., Holly, S., Kahn, C. R., Gergely, P. Jr, Söti, C., Mihály, K. & Somogyi...

Forty crossbred wether lambs, 44 kg initial body weight, were used to study relative bioavailability of Mo in supplemental Mo sources and their effects on body Cu storage. The basal maize-soya-bean meal-cottonseed hulls diet contained 11.5 mg kgÿ1 Cu, 1.1 mg kgÿ1 Mo and 2.1 g kgÿ1 S (DM basis) and was supplemented with 0, 15, 30, or 45 mg kgÿ1 (as-fed basis) added Mo as reagent grade sodium mol...

Using L cell glucocorticoid receptors that have been immunopurified by adsorption to protein A Sepharose with a monoclonal antireceptor antibody, we have developed an assay to study the requirements for maintenance of steroid-binding capacity. After rapid purification by immunoadsorption, heteromeric receptor complexes retain the ability to bind glucocorticoid hormone. When the receptor complex...

As a result of a widespread application in numerous industrial processes, chromium is a contaminant of many environmental systems. Chromium and their compounds are toxic to both invertebrates and vertebrates and, for this reason, there has been a search for suitable and less toxic alternatives. Molybdenum compounds have been studied as alternative to chromium compounds for some industrial appli...

The conditions for the inactivation of glucocorticoid receptors in the cytosol from lactating mouse mammary glands have been studied in detail. The dexamethasone-binding capacity of cytosol was variable and decreased to near zero levels by 4 h when incubated without steroid at 4°C. This loss of binding activity was partially prevented by binding of the steroid and was readily reversed by sulfhy...
