Multi-metal contamination of a calcic cambisol by fallout from a lead-recycling plant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The present study deals with the impact of a lead-recycling plant on metal accumulation in soils, evaluated by a global pedological analysis. This general approach can be used on various contaminated sites to evaluate impact of an anthropogenic activity ...

The migration process and temperature effect of aqueous solutions contaminated by heavy metal ions in unsaturated silty soils

open access: yesHeliyon
Adsorption-desorption experiments of three heavy metal ions (i.e., lead, copper, cadmium) in silty soil were carried out at different temperatures, and the microscopic characteristics of silty soil loaded with the three heavy metal ions were analyzed.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

The Development of Ionophore-Selective Based optical chemical sensors for the determination of heavy metal ions in aqueous environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The development of optical sensors for in-situ, real-time and low-cost monitoring of heavy metal ions is a tremendously and fast growing area of research.

Adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) Ions from Aqueous Solution byActivated Carbon

open access: yesAl-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2009
Heavy metal consider as major environmental pollutants. Many of industrial wastewater effluents contain a wide range of these heavy metals. The adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ metal ions from aqueous solution by activated carbon was studied.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Anthropogenic heavy metals in organic forest soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The continuous heavy metal accumulation in organic topsoils in forests will pose problems for soil microbial health for many years to come. The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate heavy metal pollution in forest soils and its effects on ...

Heavy metal contamination in some soils of the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica

open access: yes, 1995
Soil samples from eight sites at Marble Point and Pram Point, McMurdo Sound region, contaminated by human activities were examined for heavy metal content, using sequential extraction methods.

Coagulation Mechanism of Heavy Metal Ion

open access: yesJournal of the Metal Finishing Society of Japan, 1973
This paper describes the results of experiments on the coagulation mechanism of metal ion and oxidation reactivity of metal hydroxide at high temperatures with respect to chromium ion (Cr3+) and chromium hydroxide causing public discussion in waste water treatment and sludge disposal.The following results were obtained:(1) The water content of chromium

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...
