An on-site colorimetric technique was developed for the routine determination of chromium, iron and copper in bath solutions for the chromium(III) conversion coating. A portable colorimeter with a red-green-blue light emitting diode was used for the absorbance measurements. Iron and copper were determined as Fe(III)-thiocyanate and Cu(I)-bathocuproindisulfonate, respectively. Chromium(III) was determined simultaneously with iron or copper using green and blue light. A correction method of the matrix effect was proposed and its applicability was demonstrated. Analytical errors were within 500, 5 and 0.3 mg L(-1) for chromium(III), iron and copper, respectively.

Carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are the foundation of essentially every organic molecule, making them an ideal place to do chemical synthesis. The key challenge is achieving selectivity for one particular C(sp)-H bond. In recent years, metalloenzymes have been found to perform C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

Although iron-doped hydroxyapatite (Fe-HAP) and its composites have been reported to immobilize arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd), its practical application is limited by the inefficient release of iron and phosphate. In this study, Ochrobactrum anthropic, a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium isolated from a lead-zinc smelting site, was employed to enhance multi-heavy metal immobilization in Fe-HAP-amended soils. O.

It is capable of aerobic and anaerobic growth, providing adaptability to environmental changes and in confronting immune responses. We applied high-throughput native 2-dimensional metalloproteomics to under oxic and anoxic conditions.

Humans with mutations in suffer from Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 (APS-1). Among many symptoms, men with APS-1 commonly experience testicular insufficiency and infertility, but the mechanisms causing infertility are unknown.
