What's the difference between mercuric and mercurous?

Mercuric


Definition:

  • (a.) Of, pertaining to, or derived from, mercury; containing mercury; -- said of those compounds of mercury into which this element enters in its lowest proportion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The binding of labelled (203Hg) mercuric chloride to nuclear proteins of human peripheral blood T lymphocytes was studied by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography.
  • (2) Both aminopeptidases are inhibited by mercuric chloride, o-phenanthroline, dithiothreitol and 2-mercaptoethanol.
  • (3) Positive reactions to mercuric chloride were found in 23 (10.4%) of 222 patients.
  • (4) The Mob+ vector pME285 (10.6 kb) carries the aph gene and the Tn501-derived merRTCA genes coding for mercuric ion resistance, another good selective marker in Pseudomonas.
  • (5) A mutant of plasmid R100-1, which conferred cellular hypersensitivity to Hg2+ because of the insertion of Tn801 (TnA) into the gene determining synthesis of mercuric reductase enzyme, allowed further mutational events to be selected which resulted in either reversion to Hg2+ resistance (characteristic plasmid R100-1) or sensitivity at a level characteristic of plasmidless strains.
  • (6) The concentrations of mercuric acetate and phenylmercuric acetate solutions or the temperature of incubation also affected the mercury(203) uptake as well as its cellular distribution.
  • (7) Many strains proved resistant, at the same time, to mercuric chloride and to several antibiotics.
  • (8) At the opposite end of the DNA, a mercurated derivative of UTP has been localized by difference Fourier methods, allowing tentative identification of the polymerase nucleoside triphosphate binding site.
  • (9) The toxic effects of 0.3 ppm (96-hr LC50 value) of mercuric chloride solution on the epidermis of Heteropneustes fossilis at different time intervals have been studied.
  • (10) The mechanism by which amino acid infusion stimulates membrane physpholipid biosynthesis during renal regeneration after mercuric-chloride-induced acute tubular necrosis was studied in the rat.
  • (11) The Bacillus MerR protein bound in vitro to its promoter-operator region in both the presence and absence of mercuric ion and functioned as a negative and positive regulator of transcription.
  • (12) This suggests that the isoalloxazine rings of mercuric reductase and glutathione reductase are mutually tilted in slightly different ways.
  • (13) The mutant lysozyme Thr 157----Cys reacts with mercuric chloride to give an excellent new derivative although Cys 157 is only approximately 60% substituted with the heavy atom.
  • (14) After elution with 500 microliters of elution solution, the penicillins are derivatized with 500 microliters of 1,2,4-triazole-mercuric chloride solution at 65 degrees C for 30 min.
  • (15) Time-resolved absorption spectra of the FAD-containing enzyme mercuric reductase were recorded during the catalytic reaction at 25 degrees C, pH 7.3.
  • (16) The effect of the structure of HgDNA on the binding to the thiol matrix was probed using a variety of well-defined mercurated structures obtained from phage DNA and their restriction fragments.
  • (17) Significantly more mercury was found in rats given intraperitoneal injections compared to those intoxicated with mercuric chloride in the drinking water.
  • (18) Although most polynucleotides can be extensively mercurated at pH 7.0 in sodium or Trisacetate buffers, tRNA undergoes only limited substitution in Tris buffers.
  • (19) The patients with these reactions were also positive at a concentration of 0.05% mercuric chloride, but were negative to metallic mercury, in contrast to 2 other patients in the same group.
  • (20) Mercurated nucleic acid probes can be used for non-radioactive in situ hybridization.
