The chlorine kinetic isotope effect (KIE) on the dehalogenation of 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA catalyzed by 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase has been measured at room temperature and optimal pH. The measured value of (37)k = 1.0090 +/- 0.0006 is larger than the KIEs recently measured for haloalkane and fluoroacetate dehalogenase. This indicates that the transition state for dissociation of chloride ion...

Water quality directly influences individual and public health. Monitoring of water supplies and their sanitation is of paramount importance. The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of fluoride, chlorine, potassium, sodium, and trihalomethanes in the drinking water of five major universities in Iran. This descriptive study was conducted during January 2016-2017. In total, 60 sam...

Trends in the chlorine chemical shift (CS) tensors of amino acid hydrochlorides are investigated in the context of new data obtained at 21.1 T and extensive quantum chemical calculations. The analysis of chlorine-35/37 NMR spectra of solid L-tryptophan hydrochloride obtained at two magnetic field strengths yields the chlorine electric field gradient (EFG) and CS tensors, and their relative orie...

The fast and simple method for total chlorine determination in polyglycerols using low resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) without the need for additional equipment and time-consuming sample decomposition was evaluated. Linear calibration curve for 35Cl isotope in the concentration range 20-800 µg/L was observed. Limits of detection and quantification equaled to 15 ...

The feasibility of on-site generated chlorine (OSG chlorine) as an alternative disinfectant to gas was evaluated in terms total organic carbon (TOC) removal, disinfection efficiency, biofilm control, by-products (DBPs) formation, decay rate, and volatility. Chlorine decreased the pH treated water by -0.1 per mg/L free available (FAC) while OSG increased + 0.06 mg/L. with more hypochlorite ion (...

In the vicinity of Europa, Galileo observed bursty Alfvén-cyclotron wave power at the gyrofrequencies of a number of species including K+, O 2+, Na+, and Cl+, indicating the localized pickup of these species. Additional evidence for the presence of chlorine was the occurrence of both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) polarized transverse wave power near the Cl+ gyrofrequency, thought to be due...

The value of low-energy ionic collisions for selective surface analysis is shown by the fact that reactive scattering allows differentiation of isomeric chemisorbates. Reactions of Cr•+ and Cr-containing cations at chlorobenzyl mercaptan (CBM) monolayers on Au surfaces show different reaction products, depending on the position of chlorine substitution in the phenyl ring. The chlorine atom abst...

In order to study the effects of salinity levels of the irrigation water resulted from the sugarcane field drainage which contained mineral salt (NaCl), four salinity levels (0, 3, 6, 9 ds.m-1) and sugarcane genotypes (C4, C5,C3, CP48-103, C2, CP57-614, CP69-1062) in a potted plant were examined. It was a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications which was...
