Reactivities of Fe3+ chelates of aminopolycarboxylic acids with DNA were investigated by the DNA-sequencing technique using 32P 5'-end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human c-Ha-ras-1 protooncogene, and the reaction mechanism was studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe3+-NTA) plus hydrogen peroxide caused strong DNA cleavage in the presence of album...

abstract enhancing phytoextraction with aminopolycarboxylic acids (apcas) associated with fast growing and metal tolerant plants species has been proposed for the clean-up of heavy metal contaminated soils. the objectives of this study were to assess the efficiency of edta and nta for desorbing pb from soil and to compare their effects for enhancing of pb extraction with land cress (barbara ver...

This study focuses on the adsorption and preconcentration of various metals by silica gel surfaces modified with aminopolycarboxylic acids namely ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid. The adsorption performance of the studied materials was determined in mixed metal solutions and the adsorption isotherm studies were conducted for cobalt, nickel, cadmium, and lea...

An analysis of the fluorescent characteristics ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic and N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)-2-aminopropionic acids was carried out depending on pH solutions. It established that change in fluorescence intensity lifetime is associated with formation variously protonated forms which stable H-cycles are formed participation hydrogen bonds. The energies singlet triplet levels ligand...

Water-soluble ligands, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyldiglycolamide (TMDGA), N,N,N',N'-tetraethyldiglycolamide (TEDGA), N,N,N',N'-tetrapropyldiglycolamide (TPDGA) and N,N-dipropyldiglycolamic acid (DPDGAc) were prepared and their abilities to complex with and to back-extract the metal cations were investigated. These results indicate that the DGA series and DPDGAc have a stronger complexing ability with ...
