The reaction of cobalt(II) sulfate and 2-amino-pyrazine affords the title salt, [Co(H(2)O)(6)][Co(C(4)H(5)N(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](SO(4))(2)·2H(2)O. The metal atoms in the tetra-aqua-coordinated and hexa-aqua-coordinated complex cations lie on centers of inversion in slightly distorted octa-hedral geometries. The cations, anions and solvent water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydro...

The reaction of manganese(II) sulfate and 2-amino-pyrazine affords the title salt, [Mn(H(2)O)(6)][Mn(C(4)H(5)N(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](SO(4))(2)·2H(2)O. The metal atoms in the tetra-aqua-coordinated and hexa-aqua-coordinated cations lie on centers of inversion in octa-hedral geometries. The cations, anions and solvent water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-d...

In the title compound, (C(5)H(8)N(3))(2)[Co(H(2)O)(6)](SO(4))(2)·2H(2)O, the complete complex cation is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry, such that the Co(II) cation is octa-hedrally coordinated by six water mol-ecules. The organic cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (1) Å. In the crystal structure, the ions and mol-ecules are linked into a pseudo-lay...

Although the enhanced chemiluminescence assay is commonly used to measure the nonenzymatic total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the human seminal plasma, it is cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. We describe herein an alternate method to measure TAC that is based on the ability of antioxidants in seminal plasma to interfere with a reaction between 2,2'-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulp...

A local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) experiencing poor nitrification tracked down high level of surfactants in the plant’s influent and effluent. The aims of this project were to assess the potential inhibitory effect of surfactants on activated sludge processes. The effect of the presence of TergitolNP-9, TrigetolNP-7, Trigetol15-S-9, dodecylbenzene sulphonate (SDBS) and sodium dodecyl su...

Modification of proteins of the translational apparatus is common in many organisms. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we provide evidence for the methylation of Rpl1ab, a well conserved protein forming the ribosomal L1 protuberance of the large subunit that functions in the release of tRNA from the exit site. We show that the intact mass of Rpl1ab is 14 Da larger than its calculated mass ...

In the title compound, [Ag(C(7)H(7)O(3)S)(C(13)H(14)N(2))](n), the Ag(I) ion is coordinated in a T-shape by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 1,3-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)propane ligands and one O atom from a p-toluene-sulfonate ligand, forming a one-dimensional zigzag chain along [001]. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak Ag⋯Ag inter-actions [3.2628 (5) Å] are observed.
