Disease relevance of sulfanylidenezinc

• ZnS nanocrystals were well crystallized on the viral capsid in a hexagonal wurtzite or a cubic zinc blende structure, depending on the peptide expressed on the viral capsid [1].
• Leaching of zinc sulfide by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans: bacterial oxidation of the sulfur product layer increases the rate of zinc sulfide dissolution at high concentrations of ferrous ions [2].
• Zinc sulfide clusters were synthesized and characterized at low micromolar concentrations to assess the effect of metal-sulfide ligands on metal toxicity to aquatic organisms in oxic environments [3].
• The pool of zinc present in excitatory synaptic terminals in normal and pathological conditions (for instance the status epilepticus induced by kainic acid) can be stained by a silver sulphide method followed by physical development of the insoluble zinc-sulphide complexes [4].
• Biological Synthesis of Semiconductor Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles by Immobilized Rhodobacter sphaeroides [5].

High impact information on sulfanylidenezinc

• Abundant, micrometer-scale, spherical aggregates of 2- to 5-nanometer-diameter sphalerite (ZnS) particles formed within natural biofilms dominated by relatively aerotolerant sulfate-reducing bacteria of the family Desulfobacteriaceae [6].
• Highly luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (zinc sulfide-capped cadmium selenide) have been covalently coupled to biomolecules for use in ultrasensitive biological detection [7].
• To investigate half-metallic exchange bias interfaces, magnetic structures at ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) interfaces in the zinc blende transition-metal chalcogenides, and with compensated and uncompensated AFM interfaces, were determined by the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method [8].
• Scanning tunneling microscopy and surface simulation of zinc-blende GaN(001) intrinsic 4x reconstruction: linear gallium tetramers [9]?
• Direct conversion of tert-beta-bromo alcohols to ketones with zinc sulfide and DMSO [10].

Biological context of sulfanylidenezinc

• Naturally occurring metallothionein (MT) is a metal binding protein, which binds to seven Zn2+ through 20 conserved cysteines and forms two metal binding clusters with a Zinc-Blende structure [11].
• A simple fabrication of two-dimensional zinc sulfide colloidal arrays with the assistance of a multihydroxy polymer is described, which can potentially be utilized in different technological fields, such as biosensor and electrooptical devices as well as a platform for studies of energy transfer between colloidal particles [12].

Anatomical context of sulfanylidenezinc

• We present a new technique that allows zinc ions in synaptic and secretory vesicles of biopsy and early autopsy material (< 2 hr post mortem) to be transformed to nanometer-sized zinc sulfide crystal lattices for subsequent autometallographic (AMG) development [13].
• The radioactivities of 241Am in fetus, fetal membrane, and placenta were determined, and its distribution in the feto-placental system was investigated by high-speed autoradiography using a silver-activated zinc sulfide-coated membrane as an intensifying screen [14].
• In the hippocampus the pattern of the oxygen tensions reflected the autometallographic zinc sulphide (AMG(ZnS)) pattern, i.e. the pattern of zinc enriched (ZEN) terminals [15].
• A lacquer-based carrier allows the zinc sulfide to remain in suspension and permits permanent marking onto diverse laboratory substrates such as x-ray films, paper, plastic wraps and nitrocellulose- and nylon-based membranes [16].
• By injecting sodium sulphide into the vena cava of deeply anaesthetized animals, it is possible to bind chemically the vesicular zinc, i.e. chelatable zinc (zinc ions), in secretory and synaptic vesicles, in the form of zinc sulphide crystal lattices [17].

Associations of sulfanylidenezinc with other chemical compounds

• On the basis of first-principles electronic band structure theory, we calculated the refractive indices of the zinc blende and wurtzite structures of the chalcogenides ZnQ and CdQ (Q = O, S, Se, Te) and analyzed their trends by calculating the total absorption power per unit formula [18].
• The addition of ECP correspondingly reduces the negative electrophoretic mobilities of sphalerite and galena in absolute magnitude without shifting their isoelectric points [19].
• The theoretical acid generating potential (TAGP) and 'total' concentrations of Cu, Fe and Zn of the tailings, were found to increase greatly with depth, reflecting an increase in the abundance of chalcopyrite (CuFeS(2)), pyrite (FeS(2)) and sphalerite (ZnS), as detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis [20].
• Aggregation of sphalerite due to the polymerization/flocculation action of zinc hydroxide is proposed [21].
• The isoelectric points of high purity zinc sulfide and that of chemically synthesized, biogenically produced and zinc sulfide precipitated using bacterially produced hydrogen sulfide gas (BPH-ZnS) were located at pH 3, 7.8, 2.8 and 8, respectively [22].

Gene context of sulfanylidenezinc

• Ion-trap fragmentation of the +8 charged ion of modified beta-globin showed a neutral loss of 96+/-1 Da, consistent with neutral loss of zinc sulfide [23].
• Compounds capable of inhibiting the dopamine transporter protein (DAT) that can be conjugated to cadmium selenide/zinc sulfide/core shell nanocrystals may be used to image the location and distribution of the DAT in neuronal cell membranes [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of sulfanylidenezinc

• Scanning tunneling microscopy images confirm electron diffraction studies that the zinc-blende GaN(001)-4x reconstruction consists of rows aligned along [110] with a spacing along [110] of 4a [9].

• The structure of the products was identified as zinc blende phase by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) [27].
• X-ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the GaAs111 nanowires had a mixed crystal structure of the hexagonal wurtzite and the cubic zinc-blende [28].
