Metal Ion Complexes of Nuceloside Phosphorothioates Reflecting the Ambivalent Properties of Lead (II) [PDF]
This Perspective outlines the coordinating properties of lead( II ), to some extent in comparison with related metal ions like Ca 2+ , Zn 2+ or Cd 2+ . It is worth noting that the affinity of Pb 2+ towards phosphate residues corresponds to that of Cu 2+ .

Genetic analysis of the human tumor necrosis factor alpha/cachectin promoter region in a macrophage cell line. [PDF]
The 615-bp 5' flanking region of the human TNF-alpha/cachectin gene was isolated and ligated to the luciferase reporter gene. In addition, a series of truncated promoter constructs was generated by exonuclease III digestion.
