What's the difference between bimetallic and gold?

Bimetallic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or relating to, or using, a double metallic standard (as gold and silver) for a system of coins or currency.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) As well as a “bimetallic” construction similar to the existing £2 coin, the new £1 will feature new banknote-strength security pioneered at the Royal Mint’s headquarters in Llantrisant, South Wales.
  • (2) This is associated with reversed electron transfer from the bimetallic center to ferricytochrome c. The kinetics of reduction of ferricytochrome c by the reversed electron transfer process are compared with the kinetics of formation of F and P. The results are consistent with transfer of one electron from the ferric-cupric bimetallic center (O) to cytochrome c, yielding the F intermediate, followed by transfer of one electron from the latter to cytochrome c, yielding the P state.
  • (3) The main current-generating corrosion cells in the oral cavity are the bimetallic cell and the concentration cell, the latter mainly occurring due to differences in access to oxygen in the various parts of the metallic material.

  • (6) The results show that only two of the electron transfers, to the 'peroxy' and 'oxyferryl' intermediates of the bimetallic centre, are linked to proton translocation, a finding which strongly constrains candidate mechanisms for proton-pumping.
  • (7) The bimetallic electrical implant did not produce regenerative healing under the conditions of this experiment.
  • (8) Its bimetallic construction is similar to the existing £2 coin.
  • (9) Here, I report the effects of proton-motive force and membrane potential on two equilibria involving intermediates of the bimetallic centre at different levels of O2 reduction.
  • (10) The compound is a bimetallic fulvalene complex with rhodium and tungsten oriented trans to each other across an essentially planar fulvalene dianion.
  • (11) As to the proteins whose redox potential is not facilitative and appreciably higher than -0.33 V, a bimetallic, concerted, two-equivalent reduction of the bound dioxygen to the peroxide level would be much more favoured without the intermediate formation of O2-.
  • (12) Analysis suggests that the two rapid reaction phases represent internal electron redistributions between the bimetallic site and cytochrome a, and between cytochrome a and CuA, respectively.
  • (13) At a high redox potential (Eh) of cytochrome c, high pH, and a high electrochemical proton gradient (delta mu H+) across the inner mitochondrial membrane, the initial ferriccupric state (O) of the oxidized enzyme's bimetallic oxygen reaction center is converted to ferryl (F) and peroxy (P) intermediates, the optical spectroscopic properties of which are reported in detail.
  • (14) In this evolution of special importance were bimetallic enzymes, such as nitrogenase, some nitrate reductases and hydrogenases, carbon dioxide reductase, xanthine oxidase, cytochrome oxidase.
  • (15) During respiration, an exogenous donor, cytochrome c, donates four electrons to O2 bound at the bimetallic haem alpha 3 Fe-Cu centre within the enzyme.
  • (16) The effect of different sodium chloride concentrations on the integrated currents (charge transfers) between dental amalgams and a gold alloy was studied in a bimetallic cell containing saliva or saline solutions.
  • (17) This is considerably slower than the maximal rates observed for electron transfer between cytochrome a and the bimetallic site found in earlier work and suggests rate limitation by other processes.
  • (18) The bimetallic haem iron-copper reaction centre in this family of enzymes is the critical structure for catalysis of both these processes.
  • (19) The bimetallic super-coiling might contribute to the power-stroke.
  • (20) Interestingly, in these circumstances (azide and uncoupler present), Fea behaves as if it were no longer the kinetically controlling electron donor to the bimetallic center.

Gold


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Goolde
  • (v. t.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.
  • (v. t.) Money; riches; wealth.
  • (v. t.) A yellow color, like that of the metal; as, a flower tipped with gold.
  • (v. t.) Figuratively, something precious or pure; as, hearts of gold.

Example Sentences:

  • (6) As Russian companies Polymetal, Polyus Gold and Evraz race to join Eurasian Natural Resources as FTSE100 companies, despite their murky practices, because of London's incredibly lax listing requirements, one future scenario is becoming clearer.
  • (7) Injection of albumin-colloidal gold conjugates resulted in an insignificant uptake.
  • (8) IgG-gold also adhered to M cells and excess unlabeled IgG inhibited IgA-gold binding; thus binding was not isotype-specific.
  • (9) Colloidal gold immuno-electron microscopy is a powerful tool for defining antigenicity at the subcellular level.
  • (10) The effects of gold thioglucose loading on Se distribution, and on Se-dependent GSH peroxidase and GSH S-transferase, were examined in rats fed three dietary levels of Se (0, 0.2, and 2.0 ppm), and with or without adjuvant-induced inflammation.
