Abstract

A highly selective and sensitive derivative spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Fe(II) and Ni(II) in different mineral vitamins. The method is based on the formation of binary complexes of Fe(II) and Ni(II) with 2,4-diamino-5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylazo) benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (Mordant Brown 33) at pH 5.6 with Tween 20. At lambda(max) 512 and 493 nm, the molar absorbtivity was 2.09 x 10(4) and 0.58 x 10(4) L/mol cm for Fe(II) and Ni(II), respectively. Fe(II) can be determined in the range 0.55-2.79 microg/mL in the presence of 2.92 microg/mL Ni, and Ni(II) can be determined in the range 1.17-3.5 microg/mL in the presence of 2.79 microg/mL Fe(II) in the presence of Tween 20 (4%). The detection limits were 9.0 and 15.0 ng/mL for Fe(II) and Ni(II), respectively. The effect of foreign ions was elucidated. The RSD values were, in all instances, less than 1.3%. The proposed method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Ni(II) in different mineral vitamins.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
