The unexpected supramolecular chemistry of nitrate anions Date: February 23, 2017 Source: Universiteit van Amsterdam (UVA) Summary: A team of researchers argues that the nitrate anion can display a ...

The anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. Results can show whether there is an imbalance in a person’s pH levels, which may be making the blood too acidic ...

What Is an Anion Gap? The anion gap test measures anion gap (sometimes called serum anion gap) or how much acid is in your blood. Acid levels that are higher or lower than normal can tip your doctor ...

A low anion gap results from an imbalance in the body’s pH levels. Healthcare professionals identify this “gap” by examining the results of a blood test that measures electrolyte levels. To maintain ...

All chemists are familiar with the litmus test. Like other acid-base indicators, litmus changes color when the pH of a solution changes. The indicator is an example of a "naked-eye" colorimetric ion ...

The distinction between CLC ion channels and ion exchangers has become blurred. The physiological role of CLC exchangers has been a mystery, but one function is evidently to concentrate nitrate in ...

Efficient purification processes that separate impurities from air and water are necessary to sustain life on earth. To this end, carbon materials have long been used for deodorizing, separating, and ...

Anion-pi interactions have been the focus of recent theoretical work, in which electronic structure calculations predicted that anion binding between halides and electron-deficient aromatic rings will ...
