The influence of small amounts the Fe, Co, and Ni impurities on spontaneous hydrolytic process borohydride was studied within a temperature range 60–100°C. object under study simulated solution containing 9.53 M OH− ions 0.14 BH− 4 ions, used as fuel for cells. rate constant k hydrolysis amount at different estimated. lowest non-accelerating concentrations were established (∼10 ppm iron; ∼1 cob...

Cello-oligosaccharides (COS) are small carbohydrate molecules derived from cellulose through partial hydrolysis. COS exert physiological influence on plants, animals and humans when externally dosed or consumed. Their potential as a prebiotic for an elicitor plants has generated interest in their synthesis purification. Currently, lack of availability, even at scales necessary research, restric...

1) Using a combination of site-directed mutagenesis and fluorescence spectroscopy we have studied the location and function of residue beta Y331 in the catalytic site of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase. The fluorescent analog lin-benzo-ADP was used as a catalytic-site probe, and was found to bind to three sites in normal F1, with Kd1 = 0.20 microM and Kd2,3 = 5.5 microM. lin-Benzo-ATP was a good sub...
