The suitability of synchrotron radiation-induced X-ray emission (SRIXE) for the detection and identification of metal ions in preparations of purified, soluble proteins was tested. Glutathione S-transferase fused to the proximal zinc finger motif of human transcription factor IIIA or to the cysteine-rich motif of poliovirus protein 2C was expressed in bacteria and purified by affinity chromatog...

The Re(I) complexes [Re(HPAN)(CO)(3)Cl], 1, and [Re(2)(PAN)(2)(CO)(6)]·C(6)H(12), 2·C(6)H(12), have been prepared by reacting [Re(CO)(5)Cl] with HPAN. Here (PAN)(-) is the deprotonated form of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol. A subsequent reaction of [Re(HPAN)(CO)(3)(CF(3)SO(3))] with a chelating diphosphine ligand generates [Re(PAN)(CO)(P-P)]·CH(2)Cl(2), 3·CH(2)Cl(2). The structures of the complex...

A spectrophotometric and first derivative spectrophotometric method was developed in aquatic Tween 80 micellar solutions for selective determination of nickel without using any pre-separation step. 1-(2-Pyridylazo)2-naphthol (PAN), as a sensitive chromogenic complexing agent formed a red-colored Ni(II)-PAN complex in Tween 80 media with satisfactory solubility and stability. Conditions such as ...
