Application

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl₂·6H₂O) has been used:

to prepare electrochemical substrate solution for surface treatment and immunoassay preparation of monoclonal anti-creatine kinase (CK-MB) antibody
as a component of casamino acids medium (Hv-Ca) to culture Haloferax volcanii strains
to prepare hydrated-salt poly(vinylidenefluoride)-hexafluoropropylene P(VDF-HFP)/MgCl₂·6H₂O nanocomposite film to study its phase transformation, surface morphology and dielectric property

Biochem/physiol Actions

Magnesium chloride is commonly used as a reagent in chemistry and molecular biology as a source of magnesium ions. Magnesium exhibits several biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane and wall structural integrity, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid structure. It functions as a co-factor in various enzymes, like deoxyribonuclease (DNAse), the restriction enzymes EcoRI and EcoRV, and Ribonuclease H. Magnesium stabilizes polymeric nucleic acids including ribozymes and transfer RNA.

Divalent cation influx and calcium homeostasis in germinal vesicle mouse oocytes.

Goli Ardestani et al.

Cell calcium, 87, 102181-102181 (2020-02-26)

Prior to maturation, mouse oocytes are arrested at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage during which they experience constitutive calcium (Ca2+) influx and spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations. The oscillations cease during maturation but Ca2+ influx continues, as the oocytes' internal stores attain

Kinetic Separation of Oxidative and Non-oxidative Metabolism in Single Phagosomes from Alveolar Macrophages: Impact on Bacterial Killing.

Vladimir Riazanski et al.

iScience, 23(11), 101759-101759 (2020-12-01)

The relative contribution of the two phagosomal catabolic processes, oxidative and metabolic, was assessed in the killing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in phagosomes of alveolar macrophages (AMs) from wild-type (p47-phox +/+ ) or NOX-defective (p47-phox -/- ) mice. Free radical release

Golgi-associated microtubules are fast cargo tracks and required for persistent cell migration.

Huiwen Hao et al.

EMBO reports, 21(3), e48385-e48385 (2020-01-28)

Microtubules derived from the Golgi (Golgi MTs) have been implicated to play critical roles in persistent cell migration, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, partially due to the lack of direct observation of Golgi MT-dependent vesicular trafficking. Here, using super-resolution

Flow Cytometry Analysis and Fluorescence-activated Cell Sorting of Myeloid Cells from Lung and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples from Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected Mice.

Alissa C Rothchild et al.

Bio-protocol, 10(10) (2020-10-01)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is transmitted by aerosol and can cause serious bacterial infection in the lung that can be fatal if left untreated. Mtb is now the leading cause of death worldwide by an infectious agent. Characterizing the early events

Improved growth and morphological plasticity of Haloferax volcanii.

Roshali T de Silva et al.

Microbiology (Reading, England), 167(2) (2021-01-19)

Some microbes display pleomorphism, showing variable cell shapes in a single culture, whereas others differentiate to adapt to changed environmental conditions. The pleomorphic archaeon Haloferax volcanii commonly forms discoid-shaped ('plate') cells in culture, but may also be present as rods
