Copper ions could play a key role when peptide folding goes wrong and leads to harmful aggregates. Unraveling interactions between metal ions and peptides in the body may eventually lead to improved ...

In general the free energies for the transfer of copper(II) ion from water to the lower alcohols are very positive, ranging from 1.0 in ethylene glycol to 16.5 kcal in t-butyl alcohol. Functions in ...

Studies in the roundworm model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, headed by scientists at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, have ...

The present study describes the effectiveness of efforts to produce on larger scale a material called Cuprilig, which is the copper(II) derivative of Octolig®, a commercially available immobilized ...

The reactivity of metals can be determined using displacement reactions. In a displacement reaction a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, magnesium ...
