    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_in_biology

    Zinc fingers help read DNA sequences.. Zinc is an essential trace element for humans [1] [2] [3] and other animals, [4] for plants [5] and for microorganisms. [6] Zinc is required for the function of over 300 enzymes and 1000 transcription factors, [3] and is stored and transferred in metallothioneins.

    For example, terpyridine, which is a tridentate ligand forms the complex [Zn(terpy)Cl 2]. Another example would involve a tripodal ligand such as Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine. Square pyramidal 5-coordinate Zinc is found in Tetra(4-pyridyl)porphinatomonopyridinezinc(II) [ 19 ] Solution studies of other 5-coordinate Zinc porphyrins have been reported.

    an organic compound; simplest example of the ketones: Acetylene: a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne; widely used as a fuel and chemical building block Ammonia: inorganic; the precursor to most nitrogen-containing compounds; used to make fertilizer Ammonium hydroxide: aqueous ammonia; used in traditional qualitative inorganic analysis

  5. Zinc pyrithione - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_pyrithione

    The pyrithione ligands, which are formally monoanions, are chelated to Zn 2+ via oxygen and sulfur centers. In the crystalline state, zinc pyrithione exists as a centrosymmetric dimer (see figure), where each zinc is bonded to two sulfur and three oxygen centers. [3] In solution, however, the dimers dissociate via scission of one Zn-O bond ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_acetate

    Zinc acetate is a salt with the formula Zn(CH 3 CO 2) 2, which commonly occurs as the dihydrate Zn(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·2H 2 O. Both the hydrate and the anhydrous forms are colorless solids that are used as dietary supplements. When used as a food additive, it has the E number E650.

  7. Isotopic labeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopic_labeling

    Nuclear magnetic resonance detects atoms with different gyromagnetic ratios. The radioactive decay can be detected through an ionization chamber or autoradiographs of gels. An example of the use of isotopic labeling is the study of phenol (C 6 H 5 OH) in water by replacing common hydrogen with deuterium (deuterium labeling).
