Cadmium , direct bonding

MnCA is not completely inactive the CO2 HCO3 interconversion at pH 8.5 is about 4% of that of native enzyme (139). NMR data indicated that in MnCA-HCOg, bicarbonate might be ligated in a bidentate fashion in the catalsdic cycle (139). Data from Cd NMR studies on CdBCA II and CdHCA I indicated that the cadmium derivative could be five-coordinate with two water molecules. Cd NMR studies of CdBCA II in the presence of benzene sulfonamides provided direct evidence of cadmium-nitrogen bonding in sulfonamides (140), which has also been confirmed by X-ray crystal structime determination (124). 

An alternative approach is to form an hybrid array [20], The detector array is then formed in a mercury cadmium telluride substrate and the readout circuits are formed in a silicon substrate. The hybrid arrays are presented in part two. Detector arrays having detector elements which are provided with individual read-out leads formed in or on a non-active supporting substrate are presented in chapter 2.1. The detector elements may however be directly connected to a read-out chip which is bonded to the detector chip. A flip-chip bonding technique using indium bumps may be used as shown in figure 3 [21]. 

The same procedure was applied to the synthesis of cadmium selenide and zinc sulfide in LLC surfactant phases using C EO surfactants. A relationship between the covalent nature of bonds in the final product and the success of the templating procedure was established on the basis of silver sulfide, copper sulfide, mercury sulfide and lead sulfide not producing the same results. The interaction of the surfactant headgroups with the precipitated mineral and with its precursor ions are necessary for direct templating. This is also confirmed by the fact that salts that bind precursor ions prevent the formation of an ordered inorganic nanostructure within the LLC phase [51]. 

Phytochelatin a plant peptide produced in response to lieavy metals, e.g. cadmium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc. The structure is (Y-Glu-Cys) -Gly (n = 3-7). Like Metallothionein (see), P. form metal-thiolate bonds and thus sequester toxic metal ions. They are probably derived from glutathione rather than RNA-directed protein synthesis.
