Molybdoenzymes are widespread in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms where they play crucial functions in detoxification reactions in the metabolism of humans and bacteria, in nitrate assimilation in plants and in anaerobic respiration in bacteria. To be fully active, these enzymes require complex molybdenum-containing cofactors, which are inserted into the apoenzymes after folding. For almost...

Defects usually play an important role in tailoring various properties of two-dimensional materials. Defects in two-dimensional monolayer molybdenum disulphide may be responsible for large variation of electric and optical properties. Here we present a comprehensive joint experiment-theory investigation of point defects in monolayer molybdenum disulphide prepared by mechanical exfoliation, phys...

Nickel and aluminum powders were mechanically alloyed with 10 or 30 vol.% refractory metal powders (molybdenum or tungsten) for times up to 50 h. Intermetallic synthesis takes place after lo-20 h alloying, with concomitant dispersion of the inert refractory metal phase, resulting in an NiAl matrix containing fine refractory dispersoids. The reactive synthesis step is direct, without intermediat...

A protocol for the bottom-up self-assembly of nanogaps is developed through molecular linking of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Two π-conjugated oligo(phenylene ethynylene) molecules (OPE) with dithiocarbamate anchoring groups are used as ligands for the AuNPs. OPE-4S with a dithiocarbamate in each end of the molecule and a reference molecule OPE-2S with only a single dithiocarbamate end group. Th...

In an approach to the biologically important 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system, the scope of the tandem 4-exo-trig carbamoyl radical cyclization-dithiocarbamate group transfer reaction to ring-fused β-lactams is evaluated. β-Lactams fused to five-, six-, and seven-membered rings are prepared in good to excellent yield, and with moderate to complete control at the newly formed dithiocarbamat...

The complexation behaviour of dithiocarbamate functions supported on polyacrylamides with varying extents (2-20 mol YO) of 4”-methylene-bisacrylamide (NNMBA) crosslinks was investigated. The crosslinked polyacrylamides were prepared by the free radical solution polymerization of the mononicrs in water at 80°C using potassium persulphate as initiator. The dithiocarbamate ligands were introduced ...

A series of mixed ligand dithiocarbamate complexes with a general formula [ML2(py)2], where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II), py = pyridine, and L = N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate have been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, FTIR and Uv spectroscopy, magnetic moment, and thermogravimetric and conductance analysis. The infrared spectra showed that symmetrical bidentate co...

introduction one of the best methods in the diagnosis and control of breast cancer is mammography. the importance of mammography is directly related to its value in the detection of breast cancer in the early stages, which leads to a more effective treatment. the purpose of this article was to calculate the x-ray spectrum in a mammography system with monte carlo codes, including mcnpx and mcnp5...

* corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] The interaction of Mo(VI) and tetrazolium violet (TV) has been examined. The ion-associate formed is extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane. The tetrazolium violet : molybdenum(VI) : 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid ratio (R) is 2 : 1 : 2. The optimum conditions have been established. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.2–5 μg ml–1 molybdenum(VI...

Molybdenum electrode based flexible biosensor on porous polyamide substrates has been fabricated and tested for its functionality as a protein affinity based biosensor. The biosensor performance was evaluated using a key cardiac biomarker; cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI). Molybdenum is a transition metal and demonstrates electrochemical behavior upon interaction with an electrolyte. We have leveraged...
