Is dephytinization from infant cereals beneficial to the nutrition absorption?
...e also rich in antinutrients, which can decrease the absorption of critical nutrients such as iron, calcium, and zinc because of their high ability to chelate and precipitate minerals. Given the importance of an adequate intake of minerals during infancy, Dr. Carmen Frontela and her colleagues in the Univers...Better MRI scans of cancers made possible by TU Delft
...new agent is a compound incorporating a lanthanide chelate and a phenylboronate group substance. The lanthanide chelate ensures a strong, clear MRI signal, while the phen...erous tissue. Water exchange The lanthanide chelate influences the behaviour of water molecules, even ...Sensitive identification of phosphopeptides in brain tissue using Ettan MDLC and Finnigan LTQ
...In this work, a biocompatible nanoscale liquid chromatography (LC) system, Ettan MDLC, was used for separating phosphopeptides. No metal ions that can chelate phosphate groups are present in the fluid pathway of the LC system, resulting in highly sensitive analyses (2).Separation of the tryptic pe...

Addition of imidazole during binding improves purity of histidine-tagged proteins
...oth, and B. Felden de Neumann GPC Biotech AG, Martinsried, Germany The purity of histidine-tagged proteins* purified by metal chelate affinity chromatography can often be improved by optimizing the imidazole concentration in the sample and binding buffer to achieve a balance between ...Real-Time Multiplex PCR from Genomic DNA Using the iCycler iQ Detection System
...s additive (not shown). The MgCl 2 concentration was increased to compensate for the higher concentration of nucleotides, which chelate magnesium ions. In addition, we found that accurate quantitation of small amounts of one target in a reaction with large amounts...
