To investigate the correlations among seminal plasma Magnesium (Mg), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Selenium (Se), Molybdenum (Mo) and Iodine (I) concentrations and semen parameters [1– 15]. 500 fertile and 1000 infertile males provided a standardized semen specimen. Total Magnesium (Mg), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (...

The first purification of the Mo-reducing enzyme from Serratia sp. strain DRY5 that is responsible for molybdenum reduction to molybdenum blue in the bacterium is reported. The monomeric enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 105 kDalton. The isoelectric point of this enzyme was 7.55. The enzyme has an optimum pH of 6.0 and maximum activity between 25 and 35°C. The Mo-reducing enzyme was ex...

In the present study, a hydro-refining spent catalyst with an alumina base has been taken into consideration. It is mostly used for the recovery of molybdenum. The spent catalyst constitutes around 21 pct of molybdenum as molybdenum oxide. The study has revealed that at temperature lower than 600C, it is possible to recover an appreciable quantity of molybdenum from the spent catalyst. The stat...

Oxo-sulfido- and oxo-selenido-molybdenum(VI) complexes with an ene-1,2-dithiolate ligand are generated as models of the active sites of molybdenum hydroxylases. The sulfide and selenide groups are highly reactive toward triphenylphosphine in the order of Se > S.

One-, two- and three-dimensional nanostructures of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide were successfully constructed by a simple approach through a pH-dependent dimensional transformation of ammonium copper molybdate. Thin nanoplates of copper molybdate, which were obtained by sintering the two-dimensional nanobelts of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide, exhibited remarkably high reversible lithiu...

background: in recent years, nanoparticles have been increasingly used in industries. however, there is a serious lack of information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. this study was investigated the effect of moo3 nps on thyroid hormones in female rats. methods: in this study, 21 female wistar rats were selected and divided into three groups of untreated control, sha...

the voltammetric characteristics of mo (vi) oxinate at the mercury electrode, in the presence of tri-butylammonium perchlorate (tri-bap) and piperidinium perchlorate (pp) + piperidine (p) as  two different types supporting electrolytes, have been studied in chloroform. with the both supporting electrolytes a two electron irreversible process for the reduction  of mo (vi) oxinate was observed. p...

The preliminary findings that molybdenlum, in minute amounts, improved the growth of barley plants in a culture solution supplied with ammonium salts as the sole source of nitrogen (1), and that a group of seven heavy metals including molybdenum increased the growth of lettuce and asparagus (2), supported the view that the list of essential elements for higher plants is incomplete and suggested...

Two new ligands, ammonium 2,6-dimethyl morpholine dithiocarbamate (ADMMDTC) and ammonium 3-methyl piperdine dithiocarbamate (AMP-DTC) were synthesized in the laboratory. The method was based on chelation of manganese(II) with ADMM-DTC/AMP-DTC in the presence of NH4OH at pH 6.2 and 6.8 to produce catalytic hydrogen currents at -0.72 V and -0.62 V vs. SCE respectively and prior detected by D.C po...

An efficient methodology to obtain novel antifungal analogs of brassinin 1 is described. Starting from l-tryptophan 2, N,N'-dialkylthiourea 4, 4-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-5-one 5 and alkyl (2S)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-{[(alkylsulfanyl)carbonothioyl]amino}propanoate 6 type compounds were obtained as main products in different ratios depending on the reaction conditio...
