A heavy metals enzymatic-based assay using papain was developed. Papain was assayed using the Casein-coomassie-dye-binding assay. The assay is sensitive to several heavy metals. The IC50 (concentration of toxicant giving 50% inhibition) of Hg2+, Ag2+, Pb2, Zn2+ is 0.39, 0.40, 2.16, 2.11 mg l−1, respectively. For Cu2+ and Cd2+ the LOQ (limits of quantitation) is 0.004 and 0.1 mg l−1, respectively. The IC50 and LOQ values were found to be generally comparable to several other enzymatic and bioassays tests such as: immobilized urease, 15-min Microtox™, 48 h Daphnia magna, and 96 h Rainbow trout. The papain assay is xenobiotics tolerant, has a wide pH for optimum activity, is temperature stable, and has a relatively quick assay time. The papain assay was used to identify polluted water samples from industrial sources in Penang, Malaysia. We found one site where the assay gave a positive toxic response. The toxicity of the site was confirmed using Atomic Emission Spectrometry analysis.  相似文献

We report a simple and sensitive aptamer-based colorimetric detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) using unmodified gold nanoparticles as colorimetric probe. It is based on the fact that bare gold nanoparticles interact differently with short single-strand DNA and double-stranded DNA. The anti-Hg2+ aptamer is rich in thymine (T) and readily forms T–Hg2+–T configuration in the presence of Hg2+. By measuring color change or adsorption ratio, the bare gold nanoparticles can effectively differentiate the Hg2+-induced conformational change of the aptamer in the presence of a given salt with high concentration. The assay shows a linear response toward Hg2+ concentration through a five-decade range of 1 × 10−4 mol L−1 to 1 × 10−9 mol L−1. Even with the naked eye, we could identify micromolar Hg2+ concentrations within minutes. By using the spectrometric method, the detection limit was improved to the nanomolar range (0.6 nM). The assay shows excellent selectivity for Hg2+ over other metal cations including K+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Al3+, and Fe3+. The major advantages of this Hg2+ assay are its water-solubility, simplicity, low cost, visual colorimetry, and high sensitivity. This method provides a potentially useful tool for the Hg2+ detection.  相似文献

A simple and green analytical procedure based on chlorophyll a is presented for the determination of Hg2+ ion. Chlorophyll a was extracted and purified from the leaves of pea and is employed as a reagent for analysis of Hg2+ ion. It displays remarkable fluorescence emission at 674 nm when excited at 412 nm. The emission intensity decreased significantly on exposure to various concentrations of Hg2+ ion. This forms the basis for the determination of Hg2+ ion. The proposed method was evaluated for sensitivity and selectivity. The linear concentration range was found to be 2.0–10 μM with r2 = 0.997 and the limit of detection for Hg2+ ion was 1.3 μM. Ions including Pb2+, Cd2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ru3+, Er3+, K+, Na+, NH4+, Cl, NO3, CH3COO and SO42− did not interfere with the measurement of Hg2+ ion even at 500-fold excess. Since chlorophyll a is widely available in the leaves of most plants, and the extraction and purification process is simple, this technique can provide an alternative, sensitive and economical way to determine Hg2+ ion.  相似文献

Abstact  The aim of this study was to examine in vitro chelator’s ability to prevent copper-induced inhibition of rat myometrial ecto-ATPase activity. The effects of increasing CuSO4 concentrations, in the absence and presence of 1 mmol/l EDTA, showed sigmoidal and complete inhibition relative to the control enzyme activity. IC50 values, 1.15 × 10−4 and 1.71 × 10−3 mol/l in the absence and presence of EDTA, respectively, were determined by Hill analysis from experimental curves. According to the results presented in this work, 1 mmol/l EDTA increased by one order of magnitude CuSO4 concentration for half-maximal inhibition (IC50), by decreasing Cu2+ concentrations, available to form inactive CuATP2− complex. The article is published in the original.  相似文献

Flow injection analysis with on-line preconcentration using a minicolumn loaded with dialkyldithiocarbamate immobilized on controlled pore glass is described for the determination of Rh(III), Co2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Hg22+. The detection limits range from 0.05 ng ml−1 for Cu2+ to 50 ng ml−1 for Hg2+ for 5- or 10-ml samples, improvement of 2–3 orders of magnitude compared with direct injection. The operating conditions are optimized and the effects of interferents are studied. The capacity of the collector varied from 0.9 mmol g−1 for Rh(III) to ca 4 mmol g−1 (Co2+, Cu2+, Hg2+).  相似文献

Summary. Membrane-bound ATPases, such as Na,K-ATPase and nucleotide triphospho-diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), being one of the first targets of a toxic action are generally considered as good markers for estimating toxicity. A bioluminescence assay was applied for fast and sensitive evaluation of heavy metals effect on the rat brain synaptosomal membrane ATPase activity. The assay consists of ATP-consuming reaction catalyzed by synaptic plasma membrane ATPases coupled to the luminescent firefly luciferase reaction, which consumes residual ATP after the course of ATPase reaction. The bioluminescence ATPase assay was applied to study the effect of heavy and transitional metals (Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+) on rat brain ATPase activity after assay optimization. All metals applied inhibited synaptic membrane ATPase activity in a concentration dependent manner. The IC 50 values (Hg2+ < Cu2+ < Cd2+ < Pb2+) obtained with the bioluminescence assay were highly correlated with those obtained by the spectrophotometric method. The fast bioluminescence ATPase assay with small sample and substrate requirements could be adjusted for high-throughput environmental and pharmacological screening.  相似文献

An experiment was done on electrochemical–calorimetry to identify the Peltier heats of the ferro-ferricyanide reversible electrode reaction over the concentration range of 0.075–0.3 mol dm−3 at 298.15 K. A new approach has been developed to obtain the standard potential of this electrode, which was identified as (+0.3580 ± 0.0030) volt at 298.15 K and compared with previously reported values. An equation derived from the approach is also applied to several standard couples, such as Fe(CN)6−3/Fe(CN)6−4, H+/H2, Cu2+/Cu, Cl/Hg2Cl2,Hg, Fe3+/Fe2+, and Cl/Cl2 to determine their respective reaction heats with satisfying results.  相似文献

The different ionic molecules/compounds were used as a ligand for the immobilization of penicillin G acylase on the highly porous cellulose-based polymeric membrane having buffer flux 1,746 LMH (L m−2 h−1) at 0.5 bar pressure. The immobilized enzyme activity around 250 UApp was obtained with the ligand such as proline, tryptophan, casein acid hydrolysate, and brilliant green. Comparatively, proline showed less IMY% (percentage immobilization yield—58) but higher RTA% (percentage of activity retention—71) and specific activity (145 UApp g−1). However, the crosslinked preparation of brilliant green obtained using glutaraldehyde showed 82 ± 2.7% immobilized enzyme activity after the completion of successive five cycles. In comparison with the free enzyme, the enzyme immobilized on the brilliant green coupled membrane showed around 2.4-fold increase in K m value (47.4 mM) as well as similar optimum pH (7.2) and temperature (40 °C). The immobilized enzyme retained almost 50% activity after 107 days and 50 cycles of operation. Almost 50% decrease in buffer flux after enzyme immobilization was observed. At the end of the 30 cycles, flux pattern shows around 38% decrease in buffer flux however, after 16 cycles of operation flux moves closer towards the steady state.  相似文献

An ideal toxicity assay should utilize multiple indexes obtained from transient changes of metabolic activities. Here, we demonstrate the possibility for a novel toxicity bioassay using the damped glycolytic oscillation phenomenon occurring in starved yeast cells. In a previous study, the phenomenon was characterized in detail. Under optimum conditions to induce the phenomenon, the wave shapes of the damped glycolytic oscillations were changed by the instantaneous addition of both glucose and chemicals and by changing the chemical concentration. We estimated the changes in the oscillation wave shapes as six indexes, i.e., the number of wave cycles, maximum amplitude, oscillation frequency, attenuation coefficient, initial peak height, and non-steady-state time. These index changes were obtained from several kinds of chemicals. The chemicals, especially those for acids (0.01–100 mM HCl and 0.01–50 mM citric acid), bases (0.001–50 mM KOH), heavy metal ions (1–1,000 mg L−1; Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+), respiratory inhibitors (3–500 mg L−1 NaN3), dissolved oxygen removers (10–300 mg L−1 NaSO3), surfactants (10–200 mg L−1 benzalkonium chloride), and aldehyde (10–1,000 mg L−1 acetaldehyde), showed characteristic patterns depending on each chemical and its concentration. These significant results demonstrate the possibilities of new methods for both toxicity qualification and quantification.

The adsorption and activation of NO molecules on Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts with different Cu/Al and Si/Al ratios (from 0.05 to 1.4 and from 17 to 45, respectively) subjected to different pretreatment was studied by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance (UV-Vis DR). It was found that the amount of chemisorbed NO and the catalyst activity in NO decomposition increased with an increase in the Cu/Al ratio to 0.35–0.40. The intensity of absorption bands at 18400 and 25600 cm−1 in the UV-Vis DR spectra increased symbatically. It was hypothesized that the adsorption of NO occurs at Cu+ ions localized in chain copper oxide structures with the formation of mono- and dinitrosyl Cu(I) complexes, and this process is accompanied by the Cu2+...Cu+ intervalence transfer band in the region of 18400 cm−1. The low-temperature activation of NO occurs through the conversion of the dinitrosyl Cu(I) complex into the π-radical anion (N2O2) stabilized at the Cu2+ ion of the chain structure, [Cu2+-cis-(N2O2)], by electron transfer from the Cu+ ion to the cis dimer (NO)2. This complex corresponds to the L → M charge transfer band in the region of 25600 cm−1. The subsequent destruction of the complex [Cu2+-cis-(N2O2)] at temperatures of 150–300°C leads to the release of N2O and the formation of the complex [Cu2+O], which further participates in the formation of the nitrite-nitrate complexes [Cu2+(NO2)], [Cu2+(NO)(NO2)], and [Cu2+(NO3)] and NO decomposition products.  相似文献

A new stable chelating resin was synthesized by incorporating 2-aminothiophenol into Merrifield polymer through C-N covalent bond and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and thermal study. The sorption capacity of the newly formed resin for Hg2+ as a function of pH has been studied using 203Hg radioisotope. The resin exhibits no affinity to alkali or alkaline earth metal ions and common anions. The separation of mercury(II) in presence of different alkali and alkaline earth metal ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+), common anions (ClO4 , SO4 2−) and other diverse ions (Ag+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Fe3+, Ni2+ and Zn2+) has been checked. In column operation it has been observed that Hg2+ content of the waste water can be removed at usual pH of natural water. Mercury was determined by isotope dilution method and the concentration of Hg2+ in the waste water spiked with 203Hg was found to be 0.05 to 0.09 μg/ml.  相似文献

A novel calix[4]arene derivative containing benzothiazole group was coated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then applied to the recognition of mercury ion. Cyclic and square wave voltammetric results showed that the modified electrode selectively recognizes Hg2+ ion in aqueous media. A new anodic stripping peak at −0.3 V (vs. Ag/Ag+) can be obtained by scanning the potential from −0.6 to 0.6 V, and the peak currents are proportional to the Hg2+ concentration. The modified electrode in a 0.1 M H2SO4+0.01 M NaCl solution shows linear voltammetric response in the range of 25-300 μg l−1 and detection limit of 5 μg l−1 (ca. 2.5×10−8 M). This modified GCE does not present any significant interference from alkali, alkaline and transition metal ions except for Pb2+, Ag+ and Cu2+ ions. Only 500, 50 and 100-fold molar excess of Pb2+, Ag+ and Cu2+ ions, respectively, can lead to voltammetric response comparable with that of Hg2+. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine mercury in natural water.  相似文献

Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, poses a significant threat to human health. Currently, the methods for detecting cadmium residue in farm produce need expensive equipment, intensive labor, and much time to finish one detection. In this study, a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DC-ELISA) based on a cadmium-chelate-specific monoclonal antibody has been developed. The DC-ELISA showed an IC50 of 2.30 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.20 μg/L for cadmium. The assay has been demonstrated to be highly specific since the monoclonal antibody showed little or no cross-reactivity with all tested metal chelates which include Cd2+, Pb2+, Hg2+, Zn2+, Na+, Ca2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Al3+, Co2+, Cr2+, Ni2+, Sn2, and K+. The assay showed that a mean recovery ranged from 100.47% to 103.86%, and the coefficients of variations for intra- and inter-assay were 1.73–7.14% and 3.63–6.81%, respectively. Then, several farm produces including wheat flour, apple juice, rice flour, and tea were analyzed for cadmium residue with DC-ELISA and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS). The correlation coefficient between the DC-ELISA and GFAAS was 0.99. It was demonstrated that the DC-ELISA can be used as a simple and economic method to detect and quantitate cadmium residue in farm produce.  相似文献

Mercury tracers are powerful tools that can be used to study mercury transformations in environmental systems, particularly mercury methylation, demethylation and reduction in sediments and water. However, mercury transformation studies using tracers can be subject to error, especially when used to assess methylation potential. The organic mercury extracted can be as low as 0.01% of the endogenous labeled mercury, and artefacts and contamination present during methylmercury (MeHg) extraction processes can cause interference. Solvent extraction methods based on the use of either KBr/H2SO4 or HCl were evaluated in freshwater sediments using 197Hg radiotracer. Values obtained for the 197Hg tracer in the organic phase were up to 25-fold higher when HCl was used, which is due to the coextraction of 197Hg2+ into the organic phase during MeHg extraction. Evaluations of the production of MeHg gave similar results with both MeHg extraction procedures, but due to the higher Hg2+ contamination of the controls, the uncertainty in the determination was higher when HCl was used. The Hg2+ contamination of controls in the HCl extraction method showed a nonlinear correlation with the humic acid content of sediment pore water. Therefore, use of the KBr/H2SO4 method is recommended, since it is free from these interferences. 197Hg radiotracer (T 1/2 = 2.673 d) has a production rate that is about 50 times higher than that of 203Hg (T 1/2 = 46.595 d), the most frequently used mercury radiotracer. Hence it is possible to obtain a similar level of performance to 203Hg when it is used it in short-term experiments and produced by the irradiation of 196Hg with thermal neutrons, using mercury targets with the natural isotopic composition. However, if the 0.15% natural abundance of the 196Hg isotope is increased, the specific activity of the 197Hg tracer can be significantly improved. In the present work, 197Hg tracer was produced from mercury 51.58% enriched in the 196Hg isotope, and a 340-fold increase in specific activity with respect to natural mercury targets was obtained. When this high specific activity tracer is employed, mercury methylation and reduction experiments with minimum mercury additions are feasible. Tracer recovery in methylation experiments (associated with Me197Hg production from 197Hg2+ spike, but also with Hg2+ contamination and Me197Hg artefacts) with marine sediments was about 0.005% g−1 WS (WS: wet sediment) after 20 h incubation with mercury additions of 0.05 ng g−1 WS, which is far below natural mercury levels. In this case, the amount of Hg2+ reduced to Hg0 (expressed as the percent 197Hg0 recovered with respect to the 197Hg2+ added) varied from 0.13 to 1.6% g−1 WS. Me197Hg production from 197Hg2+ spike after 20 h of incubation of freshwater sediment ranged from 0.02 to 0.13% g−1 WS with mercury additions of 2.5 ng g−1 WS, which is also far below natural levels. 197Hg0 recoveries were low, 0.0058 ± 0.0013% g−1 WS, but showed good reproducibility in five replicates. Me197Hg production from 197Hg2+ spiked in freshwater samples ranged from 0.1 to 0.3% over a period of three days with mercury additions of 10 ng L−1. A detection limit of 0.05% for Me197Hg production from 197Hg2+ spike was obtained in seawater in a 25 h incubation experiment with mercury additions of 12 ng L−1.  相似文献

The search for new antioxidants of natural origin derived from plants and seaweeds is still very important at present. In our study, the acetone extract of A. nodosum was investigated for its potential use as a natural antioxidant, natural feed additive with antibacterial activity and as a tyrosinase inhibitor. This study could be useful in the context of improved utilization of the A. nodosum extract in the food and cosmetics industry, being not only economically advantageous but also environmentally friendly. Extracts showed antioxidant activity with application of different methodologies: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydracil DPPH· radicals scavenging (39 %, 4 mg of freeze-dried sample), β-carotene-linoleic acid antioxidant assay (11 %, 4 mg of freeze-dried sample), O2· radicals scavenging activity (IC50 0.43 mg mL−1), OH· radicals scavenging activity (IC50 1.55 mg mL−1), and iron chelation ability (IC50 0.56 mg mL−1). The extract showed considerable antibacterial activity being more effective against gram-positive bacteria (Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus) than against gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus aerogenes). Results of tyrosinase assay for the acetone extract of Ascophyllum nodosum presented 65.6 % inhibition of tyrosinase activity at the IC50 value of 0.1 mg mL−1. The outcomes of our study support potential utilization of this brown seaweed as a source of natural antioxidants. Antioxidant activity of the studied seaweed can be apparently explained by the free radicals scavenging activity, particularly related to the mechanisms of O2· radicals scavenging activity, OH· radicals inactivation, and iron chelation ability.  相似文献

In this paper, a kind of gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based colorimetric assay has been developed for studying the reversible interaction of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) with Cu2+ and Zn2+, and quantitatively analyzing four inhibitors (i.e., EDTA, EGTA, histidine and clioquinol) of Cu2+/Zn2+ induced Aβ assembly. The inhibition efficiencies (e.g., half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 value) of these inhibitors could be measured in this work. As far as we know, these IC50 values were reported at the first time. In this assay, the streptavidin conjugated GNPs (SA-GNPs) were employed as indicators to monitor the Cu2+/Zn2+ induced aggregating/disaggregating behaviors of biotin modified β-amyloid 1–16 peptides (Aβ1–16(biotin)). Because of high affinity of streptavidin (SA) with biotin, the aggregating/disaggregating of Aβ1–16(biotin) results in the significant color change of SA-GNPs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the assay can be used as an effective tool for designing anti-dementia drugs through quantitative analysis of the interactions of four representative inhibitors with Cu2+/Zn2+ induced Aβ assembly.  相似文献

New complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) with naringenin have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductivities, 1H-n.m.r., i.r. spectra, u.v. spectra, thermal analyses, and fluorescence spectra. In addition, the suppression ratio for O2· (a) and OH· (b) of the complexes were studied by spectrophotometric methods. The results show that the effect of the Cu(II)-complex IC50 (a) = 0.003 μm, IC50 (b) = 0.06 μm is the most remarkable, and the average scavenger ability of the complexes (IC50=0.06–2.67μm) against OH· is higher than that of the ligand (IC50 = 28.5 μm). Taken together, these results indicate that the scavenger effect can be enhanced by the formation of metal-ligand coordination complexes, and the transition-metal ions may have differential and selective roles.  相似文献

An optical chemical sensor based on 2-mercaptopyrimidine (2-MP) in plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane incorporating (N,N-diethyl-5-(octadecanoylimino)-5H benzo[a]phenoxazine-9-amine (ETH 5294) and sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB) for batch and flow-through determination of mercury ion is described. The response of the sensor is based on selective complexation of Hg2+ with 2-MP in the membrane phase, resulting in an ion exchange process between H+ in the membrane and Hg2+ in the sample solution. The influences of several experimental parameters, such as membrane composition, pH, and type and concentration of the regenerating reagent, were investigated. The sensor has a response range of 2.0 × 10−9 to 2.0 × 10−5 mol L−1 Hg2+ with a detection limit of 4.0 × 10−10 mol L−1 and a response time of ≤45 s at optimum pH of 6.5 with high measurement repeatability and sensor-to-sensor reproducibility. It shows high selectivity for Hg2+ over several transition metal ions, including Ag+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Ni2+, and common alkali and alkaline earth ions such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Pb2+. The sensor membrane can be easily regenerated with dilute acid solutions. The sensor has been used for the determination of mercury ion concentration in water samples.  相似文献

In the present study, a novel p-phenylcarboxylic acid BODIPY ( L ) immobilized MCM-41 based solid chemosensor material L-propylsilyl@MCM-41 ( MS4 ) was developed to detect multiple metal ions in a pure aqueous medium. The synthesized solid chemosensor material MS4 shows high sensitivity and removal ability towards trivalent (Al3+, Cr3+) and divalent (Cu2+, Hg2+) metal ions. The emission intensity of MS4 enhanced multifold selectively in the presence of trivalent (Al3+, Cr3+) metal ions and shows quenching in the presence of divalent (Cu2+, Hg2+) metal ions. The limit of detection was calculated to be in the nanomolar range with Al3+, Cr3+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ metal ions in the aqueous medium. The spectroscopic and analytical results suggest that MS4 selectively binds with Al3+ and Cr3+ through −NH functionality and with Hg2+ and Cu2+ through −COOH functionality of p-phenylcarboxylic acid BODIPY ( L ). Further, MS4 selectively removes Al3+, Cr3+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ metal ions from the aqueous media with removal efficiency of 97.28 %, 96.34 %, 87.19 %, and 95.63 %, respectively. No noticeable change in the concentration was observed for other metal ions. The recycling potential of MS4 was evaluated using EDTA for up to seven cycles with no significant reduction in sensing capability.  相似文献
