Application

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate has been used:
  • as a precursor in the synthesis of MgCrMnO4 using a sol-gel method
  • as a component of stock solution, buffer 1, buffer 2 and buffer 3 for microsome extraction
  • as a precursor in the synthesis of MgCr2-xMnxO4 spinels using aqueous sol-gel reaction

General description

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate serves as a precursor for the generation of magnesium oxide and magnesium-containing oxides in the forms of thin-film, rode, and porous particles with a high specific surface area.

Sharp-tipped anisotropic silver (Ag) nanostructures are attracting increasing attention because of their unusual optical properties. However, the sharp tips make such nanostructures thermodynamically unstable; thus, they have been considered unsuitable for use in colorimetric sensing because of their tendency to

Despite sharing common features, previous studies have shown that gyrases from different species have been modified throughout evolution to modulate their properties. Here, we report two crystal structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase, an apo and AMPPNP-bound form at 2.6-Å

We first solved the crystal structure of class III catalytic domain of a chitinase from fern (PrChiA-cat), and found a structural difference between PrChiA-cat and hevamine. PrChiA-cat was found to have reduced affinities to chitin oligosaccharides and allosamidin. Plant class
