When embryos were exposed to zinc and copper at the same time, a greater embryotoxicity was observed.
In addition, zinc-coated sheets and copper sheets were studied as a reference.
Only manganese and zinc were exceptions (see figure 1).
Because of these properties zinc binds protein, lipoproteins and phospholipids.
The samples were examined by simple smear and zinc sulphate concentration methods.
The presence of zinc in the unfolded state suppresses this local bump and the broad activation barrier becomes accessible.
The concentrations of copper and zinc were determined at 0.2-2.6 and 1.1-6.0 mg/(g total solids), respectively.
Potentiation of zinc stress caused by parasitic infection of snails.
