Ferrocyanide

  • (19) The rate of reaction of ferro- and ferricytochrome c (C(II) and C(III) with ferri- and ferrocyanide and of C(III) with 02- and CO2- was determined in H2O and in 2H2O in the temperature range 5-35 degrees C. No isotope effect was evident in any of the reductions of C(III); the apparent energy of activation was identical in H2O and 2H2O.
  • (20) The binuclear Cu2+ complex was found to accept only one electron from ferrocyanide.

Pigment


Definition:

  • (n.) Any material from which a dye, a paint, or the like, may be prepared; particularly, the refined and purified coloring matter ready for mixing with an appropriate vehicle.
  • (n.) Any one of the colored substances found in animal and vegetable tissues and fluids, as bilirubin, urobilin, chlorophyll, etc.
  • (n.) Wine flavored with species and honey.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results also suggest that the dispersed condition of pigment in the melanophores represents the "resting state" of the melanophores when they are under no stimulation.
  • (2) Differences between the albino vs pigmented strains were observed following injections of saline.
  • (3) Two lectins, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and peanut agglutinin (PNA), were used to compare domains within the interphotoreceptor matrices (IPM) of the cat and monkey, two species where the morphological relationship between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors is distinctly different.
