in this research new adsorbents were prepared by modification of surfactant-coated g-alumina with three ligands; 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol (pan), dithizone (hdz) and dimetyl golyoxime (dmg). the adsorbents were used for removal and pre-concentration of pb+2, cd+2, ni+2, cu+2, co+2. aqueous solutions of the metal ions were passed through a column filled with the adsorbent and the retained catio...

In the Escherichia coli chemosensory pathway, receptor modification mediates adaptation to ligand. Evidence is presented that covalent modification influences ligand binding to receptors in complexes with CheW and the kinase CheA. Kinase inhibition was measured with serine receptor complexes in different modification levels; Ki for serine-mediated inhibition increased 10,000-fold from the lowes...

Four novel polypyridine cobalt(II) complexes were developed based on a hexadentate ligand scaffold bearing either electron-withdrawing (−CF3) or electron-donating (−OCH3) groups in different positions of the ligand. Experiments and theoretical calculations combined to perform systematic investigation effect modification hydrogen evolution reaction. The results indicated that position, rather th...

A strategy in drug design is to consider enhancing the affinity of lead molecules with structural modifications that displace water molecules from a protein binding site. Because success of the approach is uncertain, clarification of the associated energetics was sought in cases where similar structural modifications yield qualitatively different outcomes. Specifically, free-energy perturbation...
