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 ...
