The effects of vanadate, molybdate, and azide on ATP phosphohydrolase (ATPase) and acid phosphatase activities of plasma membrane, mitochondrial, and soluble supernatant fractions from corn (Zea mays L. WF9 x MO17) roots were investigated. Azide (0.1-10 millimolar) was a selective inhibitor of pH 9.0-ATPase activity of the mitochondrial fraction, while molybdate (0.01-1.0 millimolar) was a rela...

a practical and green method for the synthesis of 5h-dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-tetraones and spiro[dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-13,3'-indoline]-pentaones by the condensation of 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione with aldehydes or isatins, respectively, in the presence of a catalytic amount of cellulose sulfuric acid (csa) under solvent-free conditions at 100 °c is described. the significant features of this pro...

sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (saspspe) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. a good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of saspspe at room temperature with short rea...

strong sulfuric acid solutions, and can be measured by a fluorometer.1) Gotelli et al.2) and Shihabi et al.3) have used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to separate fluorescent derivatives, and have measured cortisol levels in serum and urine. Since the sulfuric acid-induced fluorescence is unstable, it is necessary to inject the reaction mixture into HPLC immediately after the for...

introduction: sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) is widely cultivated in south west of iran for production of sugar. after harvest, a lot of sugarcane tops remain on the farm that can be used to feed ruminants. the total digestible nutrients (tdn) and crude fiber of sugarcane top is about 72% and 39%, respectively. the digestibility of dry matter (54%) and crude protein (39%) of sugarcane top is...

1. [35S]sulphate was used to measure the apparent turnover of sulphate, sulphide and microbial-protein-S in the rumen contents of four sheep that were intraruminally infused with 10 g sodium sulphate/d alone, or together with 126 mg sodium molybdate (50 mg molybdenum). 2. Infusion of molybdate increased the concentration of sulphate in rumen fluid from 2.2 to 7.2 mug S/ml and decreased the rate...

We have investigated the electrochemical oxidation of sulfuric acid on boron-doped synthetic diamond electrodes (BDD) obtained by HF CVD on p-Si. The results have shown that high current efficiency for sulfuric acid oxidation to peroxodisulfuric acid can be achieved in concentrated H2SO4 ( /2 M) at moderate temperatures (8 /10 8C). The main side reaction is oxygen evolution. Small amounts of pe...
