Group 12 elements are all soft, diamagnetic, divalent metals.
This enzyme requires a divalent metal such as Mn.
Furthermore, a number of ternary oxides of the type M(II)CmO are known, where M stays for a divalent metal, such as barium.
Thermochromatographic studies conducted with trace amounts of Md concluded that Md forms a divalent metal.
The reaction is catalyzed by a base and a divalent metal such as calcium.
Loss of the zinc leads to loss of activity, which can be replaced easily by zinc, and also by some other divalent metals (cobalt, nickel).
The sulfhydryl and polyphenol components of Bacopa monnieri extract have also been shown to impact the oxidative stress cascade by scavenging reactive oxygen species, inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and reducing divalent metals.
Cadmium is a soft, malleable, ductile, bluish-white divalent metal.
In addition to the complex requirements for a divalent metal and further activation by K, M. tuberculosis α-isopropylmalate synthase follows a random kinetic mechanism for catalysis.
Many complexes of divalent metals are N-bonded.
