    Effect of aluminum consumption on the vestibulo-ocular reflex

    The effects of chronic exposure (90 days) to Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) were analyzed in 3, 10 and 24 month old male rats (n=270) by investigating the function of the VOR (vestibulo-ocular reflex) in correlation w...

    Aluminum-triggered structural modifications and aggregation of β-amyloids

    We investigated the structural effects induced by Al3+ on different β-amyloid (Aβ) fragments at pH 7.4 and T= 25°C, with particular attention given to the sequences 1–40 and 1–42. Al3+ caused peptide enrichment i...

    Aluminium(III) Speciation and Biological Effects

    Aluminium [Al(III)] is the third most abundant element as well as the most abundant metal-ion on the Earth’s crust. Apparently, Al(III) has no useful biological functions. However, few papers, as well as preli...

    Functional and Structural Properties of the 50,000 D Subunit of Octopus Vulgaris Hemocyanin

    Although the functional and structural properties of hemocyanins (Hc) have been well characterized (1,2), the interpretation of the results is often difficult owing to the quite complicated quaternary structur...

    Heavy metal hydrolysis of polyisoprenoid-phosphate mono- and oligosaccarides

    Mono- and oligosaccharide derivatives of dolichol phosphate can be hydrolyzed by heavy metal, preferably Zn++ at 100°C or 65°C. The reactions follow first order kinetics. The reaction proceeds through hydrolysis ...
