Dissimilatory reduction of sulphate by sulphate-reducing bacteria in the rumen produces sulphide, which can lead to a build-up of the toxic gas hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the rumen when increased concentrations of sulphate are consumed by ruminants. We hypothesised that adding ferric Fe would competitively inhibit ruminal sulphate reduction. The effects of five concentrations and two sources (f...

results in all the groups, complete hemostasis occurred. hemostasis times of different concentrations of ferric sulfate were significantly less than those of the control group (p < 0.001). objectives this study attempted to determine the haemostatic effect of ferric sulfate and compare it with the standard method (suturing technique). materials and methods in this animal model study, 60 male wi...

Solid-supported membrane multilayers doped with membrane-anchored oligosaccharides bearing the LewisX motif (Le(X) lipid) were utilized as a model system of membrane adhesion mediated via homophilic carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions. Specular and off-specular neutron scattering in bulk aqueous electrolytes allowed us to study multilayer structure and membrane mechanics at full hydration at...

The periplasmic protein FepB of Escherichia coli is a component of the ferric enterobactin transport system. We overexpressed and purified the binding protein 23-fold from periplasmic extracts by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatographic methods, with a yield of 20%, to a final specific activity of 15,500 pmol of ferric enterobactin bound/mg. Periplasmic fluid from cells overexpressing...

in this work, ferric coagulation and acid cracking as olive mill wastewater (omw) pretreatments during photocatalysis process were compared in batch recirculation reactor. as ferric ions influence, ferric coagulation has preference over acid cracking. ferric ions influence on intensification of penolic components absorption on tio2 surfacein initial and oxidize organic pollutant during photocat...

The crystal structures of catalytically competent soybean beta-amylase, unliganded and bathed with small substrates (beta-maltose, maltal), were determined at 1.9-2.2-A resolution. Two molecules of beta-maltose substrate bind to the protein in tandem, with some maltotetraose enzymic condensation product sharing the same binding sites. The beta-amylase soaked with maltal shows a similar arrangem...
