Channels and transporters of monovalent ions are increasingly suggested as putative anticarcinogenic targets. However, the mechanisms involved in modulation of proliferation by monovalent ions are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of K+, Na+, and Cl(-) ions for the proliferation of Ehrlich Lettre ascites (ELA) cells. We measured the intracellular concentration of each ion in G(0...

A new expression is developed for estimating the adsorption enthalpy of aqueous, monovalent ions on charged surfaces of solid oxides up to about 70°C. For sorption of the M-th cation and L-th anion represented as:

Here, we used stopped-flow fluorescence techniques to conduct a comparative kinetic analysis of the conformational transitions in human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and in DNA containing an abasic site in the course of their interaction. Effects of monovalent (K(+)) and divalent (Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Ca(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), and Ni(2+)) metal ions on DNA binding and catalytic stages we...

Abstract Monovalent selective electrodialysis (MSED) is a variant of conventional (ED) that employs ion exchange membranes to preferentially remove monovalent ions relative divalent ions. This process can be beneficial when the rich stream has potential applications. In agriculture, for example, in calcium and magnesium deemed crops decrease use fertilizers would otherwise need re-introduced so...

Monovalent selective cation exchange membranes could play an important role in balancing the K + /Na ratio agricultural feed streams to prevent toxic effects of excess Na plant and soil systems, especially greenhouses dry areas. A polyelectrolyte complex polystyrenesulfonate polyvinylamine monomer 1:2.5 is hot-pressed form a dense saloplastic. The plastic takes up 42% w/w water when equilibrate...
