An Fe (Iii) - Initiated Oxidase Reaction With Ferroxidase-Ii, Glenn Alexander Hegamyer
An Fe (Iii) - Initiated Oxidase Reaction With Ferroxidase-Ii, Glenn Alexander Hegamyer
Master's Theses
A reaction involving iron as an intermediary electron carrier for the coupling of electron transfer from an endogenous substrate to ferroxidase-I has been proposed.
The enzymic nature of the reacti on has been established and studies with iron chelating agents have demonstrated the involvement of Fe(III). The kinetic parameters of ferroxidase-11 with Fe (lll) were found to be quite similar to those previously established for Fe(Il). The participation by the copper associated with ferroxi dase-11 was ascertained by use of the copper chelating agent, diethyl -di thio-carbamate .
A variety of substances normally found in blood were surveyed as possible …
Effects Of Heavy Metals (Cadmium, Copper, And Mercury) On Reproduction, Growth, And Survival Of Brine Shrimp (Artemia Salina) From The Great Salt Lake, Karl A. Gebhardt
Effects Of Heavy Metals (Cadmium, Copper, And Mercury) On Reproduction, Growth, And Survival Of Brine Shrimp (Artemia Salina) From The Great Salt Lake, Karl A. Gebhardt
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this paper is to report findings concerning the effects of cadmium, copper, and mercury on the brine shrimp Artemia Salina, of the Great Salt Lake. Metal toxicity was observed in relation to acute susceptibility, growth, reproduction, and hatching of the brine shrimp.
Heavy metal concentrations such as cadmium, copper, and mercury are known to be considerably higher in the Great Salt Lake than those in both freshwater and seawater. No published study has been concerned with heavy metal effects on organisms in salinities greater than seawater (35 grams per liter total dissolved solids). The experiments reported …
