Sorption of VOCs and PAHs onto recycled tire crumb rubber
(2011)
Sorption of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (ethylbenzene, toluene and xylene) and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) (acenaphthene, acenaphthylene and phenanthrene) by tire crumb rubber (TCR) and its main components were ...
Crystallographic structures of hemoglobin II (HbII) from Lucina Pectinata in the 4–9 pH range
(2011)
Lucina pectinata’s ctenidia contains three hemeproteins: the hydrogen sulfide reactive hemoglobin I (HbI) and the oxygen transporting hemoglobins II and III (HbII and HbIII) that remain unaffected by the presence of H2S. ...
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy of vegetative cells and endospores of Bacillus thuringiensis as a model for detection of biothreats
(2012-05)
The development of rapid and efficient techniques for biological detection, identification and classification has a positive impact in fields ranging medical, environmental and industrial microbiology to biological warfare ...
NMR structural determinants of lucina pectinata hemoglobin I active center moieties
(2013)
The clam Lucina pectinata Hemoglobin I (HbI) is a monomeric protein with a prosthetic group, known as heme group, in which the iron atom can either be in the ferrous (Fe(II)) or the ferric (Fe(III)) oxidation state. This ...
Electrochemistry of Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata immobilized on a modified gold electrode with cysteine or 3-mercaptopropionic acid: Electrochemical activity for hydrogen sulfide
(2012)
The extraordinary affinity of recombinant hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata (rHbI) for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) allow to postulate it as substrate for the preparation of the hydrogen sulfide sensors. The modification of a ...
Oxidation reactions of Lucina pectinata hemoglobins: Model system to design heme protein based blood substitutes
(2008)
Today, efforts are focused in the production of a second-generation blood substitutes that minimizes the oxidative stress and the tissue vasoactivity. The infused cell-free hemoglobin’s can act as nitric oxide (NO) scavenger ...
Femtosecond spectroscopy studies of recombinant hemoglobin I of the clam Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791)
(2011)
Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) is a clam that can be found in sulfide-rich muds in the
coastal mangroves of the southwest coast of Puerto Rico. It contains three different
hemoglobins in the gill tissue, hemoglobin I, ...
Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata: A model for hydrogen sulfide reactivity within hemeproteins
(2009)
The hemoglobin I (HbI) from the clam Lucina pectinata is an intriguing hemeprotein that binds and transports H2S to chemoautotrophic bacteria to maintain a symbiotic relationship and to protect the mollusk from H2S toxicity. ...
Removal and speciation of oxyanions from aqueous solutions using Ca-Fe(III) alginate beads and dried sludge as adsorbents
(2013)
Oxyanions are highly soluble species, which are pH and redox dependant, and represent a toxic and hazardous species to humans and for the environment. Various remediation techniques have been applied such as: precipitati ...
Synthesis, characterization and mild detemplation of novel cobalt rich SBE type nanoporous materials
(2012)
The optimization of the synthesis, extended characterization and evaluation of the adsorption properties of cobalt-rich SBE type aluminophosphates (CoAPO-SBE) were investigated. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning ...
