A team of researchers argues that the nitrate anion can display a counterintuitive Lewis acidity. Their findings may serve as a (retrospective) guide to interpret data involving the chemical behavior ...

The distinction between CLC ion channels and ion exchangers has become blurred. The physiological role of CLC exchangers has been a mystery, but one function is evidently to concentrate nitrate in ...

Efficient purification processes that separate impurities from air and water are necessary to sustain life on earth. To this end, carbon materials have long been used for deodorizing, separating, and ...

Environmental researchers have designed an innovative model for the selective recognition of nitrates which is big news for the prevention of environmental pollution. A postdoctoral researcher at the ...

NO generated from L-arginine (1) and molecular oxygen by NO synthases has a key role in regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis, and a reduced NO bioavailability is a central event in several major ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The downward movement of the nitrate ion in the top 5 ft of Tippera clay loam was followed by applying sodium nitrate at the rate of 2000 ...

All chemists are familiar with the litmus test. Like other acid-base indicators, litmus changes color when the pH of a solution changes. The indicator is an example of a "naked-eye" colorimetric ion ...

Nitrate transport in excised corn (Zea mays L.) roots was inhibited by phenylglyoxal, but not by 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid (DIDS) or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

Contaminants that are small, negatively charged anions are not easy to remove from water sources. But now researchers have come up with a method to do just that: They’ve created a hydrogel that can ...
