Single crystal structural and absorption spectral characterizations of nitric oxide synthase complexed with N(omega)-hydroxy-L-arginine and diatomic ligands.

Nov 2009 The X-ray structures of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) with N(omega)-hydroxy-l-arginine (l-NHA) and CO (or NO) bound have been determined at 1.91-2.2 A resolution. Microspectrophotometric techniques confirmed reduced redox state and the ... Read more...

Water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by redox enzymes on conducting graphite platelets.

12 Oct 2009 The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction (CO + H(2)O <==> CO(2) + H(2)) is of major industrial significance in the production of H(2) from hydrocarbon sources. High temperatures are required, typically in excess of 200 degrees C, using d-metal catalysts ... Read more...

Air pollution and hospitalization for headache in Chile.

7 Sep 2009 The authors performed a time-series analysis to test the association between air pollution and daily numbers of hospitalizations for headache in 7 Chilean urban centers during the period 2001-2005. Results were adjusted for day of the week and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Carbon Monoxide'

Definition: Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)

Registry Number: 630-08-0

Descriptor UI: D002248

Alternative terms: Carbon Monoxide; Monoxide, Carbon;

Allowable Qualifiers: administration & dosage; adverse effects; analysis; antagonists & inhibitors; blood; cerebrospinal fluid; chemical synthesis; classification; diagnostic use; economics; history; immunology; isolation & purification; metabolism; pharmacokinetics; pharmacology; radiation effects; standards; supply & distribution; therapeutic use; toxicity; urine; chemistry; contraindications; agonists; physiology;
