A Comparative Study on Nickel Binding to Hpn-like Polypeptides from Two Helicobacter pylori Strains

2021

Combined potentiometric titration and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) methods were used to study the interactions of nickel(II) ions with the N-terminal fragments and histidine-rich fragments of Hpn-like protein from two Helicobacter pylori strains (11637 and 26695). The ITC measurements were performed at various temperatures and buffers in order to extract proton-independent reaction enthalpies of nickel binding to each of the studied protein fragments. We bring up the problem of ITC results of nickel binding to the Hpn-like protein being not always compatible with those from potentiometry and MS regarding the stoichiometry and affinity. The roles of the ATCUN motif and multiple His…

Electronic exchanges between adsorbed Ni atoms and TiO2(110) surface evidenced by resonant photoemission

2011

Abstract Nickel was deposited on stoichiometric TiO2(1 1 0) surface in the 0.02–2.1 equivalent monolayer (eqML) range and analyzed by means of photoemission and resonant photoemission. In the case of very low coverage (lower than 0.1 eqML), deposited nickel reacts with the surface through an electronic transfer from nickel atoms towards titanium ions. This exchange caused the filling of unoccupied Ti3d states leading to the increase of a peak in the TiO2 band gap. These states can be better characterized through resonant photoemission experiments at the Ti 3p → 3d absorption edge: for very low coverage, these states in the TiO2 band gap have resonant behavior of Ti3d electrons rather than N…

Mechanically stable metal layers for ohmic and blocking contacts on CdZnTe detectors by electroless deposition

2015

CdZnTe detectors are commonly exploited for the detection of gamma rays. However, obtaining mechanical stable, low noise contacts on CdZnTe is still an issue. In particular, ohmic contacts would be preferable for high flux applications. In this work, we show that it is possible to obtain mechanical stable gold contacts by electroless deposition in methanol solution. Moreover, we show that electroless deposited nickel contacts are also mechanical stable and are good candidates for the realization of ohmic contacts on high resistivity CdZnTe crystals.

Efficient flow injection and sequential injection methods for spectrophotometric determination of oxybenzone in sunscreens based on reaction with Ni(…

2001

Spectrophotometric determination of a widely used UV-filter, such as oxybenzone, is proposed. The method is based on the complexation reaction between oxybenzone and Ni(II) in ammoniacal medium. The stoichiometry of the reaction, established by the Job method, was 1:1. Reaction conditions were studied and the experimental parameters were optimized, for both flow injection (FI) and sequential injection (SI) determinations, with comparative purposes. Sunscreen formulations containing oxybenzone were analyzed by the proposed methods and results compared with those obtained by HPLC. Data show that both FI and SI procedures provide accurate and precise results. The ruggedness, sensitivity and LO…

Über eine neue Methode zum Nachweis des als Primärprodukt der Autoxydation der Metalle Eisen, Nickel und Kobalt in Säure- und Salzlösungen gebildeten…

1971

H2O2 als Zwischenprodukt der Autoxydation (bzw. · OOH oder · OH) kann mit Hilfe der Phosphin-, Phosphinoxid- Methode bei Fe, Ni und Co wirksamer als mit Hilfe der Jodometrie erfast werden. In saurem Medium sind Tris-(m-aminophenyl)-phosphin (1), im alkalischen Bereich Tris-(p-carboxyphenyl)- phosphin (2) wirksame auch fur quantitative Bestimmungen geeignete Reagentien auf H2O2 · 1 und 2 reagieren bei hoheren Konzentrationen bis zu 20 ma1 schneller mit H2O2 als dieses mit der Eisengrenzflache. Ni und Co erzeugen mehr H2O2 als Fe. Bei Eisen entsteht im neutralen Medium mehr H2O2 als im sauren Bereich. Die unterschiedlichen Anfangsgeschwindigkeiten des Sauerstoffverbrauchs in sauerstoffhaltige…

Trapping AsPh3 via reaction with NiS/γ-Al2O3 in the presence of H2: Reaction mechanism and kinetics

2021

International audience; Removal of As from petroleum feedstocks is an important process which can be realized using As trapping mass containing supported nickel sulfide. In order to understand the mechanism of the trapping we studied the reaction of AsPh3 with NiS/γ-Al2O3 in the presence of H2 in a batch reactor in toluene solution at 230 °C. This reaction results in formation of NiAs, benzene and H2S. Also, the intermediate species, thiophenol and diphenylsulfide, were observed. Despite formation of NiAs layer in the course of reaction, the rate of AsPh3 decomposition is not affected by the solid state diffusion up to ∼ 50 % of nickel conversion. The rate determining step in these conditio…

Adsorption of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions onto Activated Carbon in Single Cu and Ni Systems and in Binary Cu-Ni, Cu-Cd and Cu-Zn Systems

1997

Single copper and nickel adsorption from aqueous solutions onto a granular activated carbon is reported. Metal removals increase on raising pH and temperature, and decrease on raising the initial metal concentration at constant carbon dose. The adsorption processes are modelled using the surface complex formation (SCF) Triple Layer Model (TLM) with an overall surface bidentate species. A dependence of the SCF constant on pH, initial molar metal/carbon ratio and temperature is observed, and a correlation for log Kads is determined. The SCF model successfully predicts copper and nickel removals in single metal solutions. Adsorption in the binary metal systems copper–nickel, copper–cadmium and…

Anodic Dissolution of Nickel across Two Consecutive Electron Transfers

2007

The analysis of the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results are consistent with a nickel electrodissolution process limited by the passage of Ni(I) to Ni(II), when chloride ions are present in the acid sulfate medium, or by the passage of Ni(II) to Ni 2+ in solution, in absence of chloride. This interpretation allows an explanation of the potential evolution of Fdm/dQ values in both experimental conditions by assuming the formation of a new phase on the electrode surface with a gel-like structure placed between the metal and the solution. Ni(I) surface concentration is calculated from the instantaneous mass/charge Fdm/dQ values.

Selective G-quadruplex stabilizers: Schiff-base metal complexes with anticancer activity

2014

The affinity of three square-planar nickel(II) (1), copper(II) (2) and zinc(II) (3) Schiff-base complexes for wild-type human telomeric (h-Telo) and protooncogene c-myc G-quadruplex (G4) DNA was investigated by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and circular dichroism. DNA-binding constants (Kb) were determined by spectrophotometric titrations for both G4-DNA and B-DNA. The results obtained point out that the three metal complexes selectively bind G4-DNA with higher affinity, up to two orders of magnitude, with respect to B-DNA. The nickel(II) complex 1 was found to be the most effective G4-DNA stabilizer and the Kb values decrease in the order 1 > 2 ≈ 3. Innovative computational investigat…
