Interaction of silver nitrate with readily identifiable groups: relationship to the antibacterialaction of silver ions
Abstract
Microbiologically it was demonstrated that amino acids, e.g. cysteine (CySH), and other compounds, e.g. sodium thioglycollate, containing thiol groups neutralized the activity of silver nitrate against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Amino acids with disulphide bonds were inactive, with the exception of L-cystine dimethyl ester, as were all amino acids with no sulphur groups. Iodoacetamide reacted with CySH to produce a CyS-acetamide complex that was unable to quench the activity of Ag+. Chemical analyses using cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that high coordination numbers (3.1) were obtained with thiol-containing amino acids and low numbers (0.28-0.4) with other amino acids. Both microbiologically and chemically, the results imply that interaction of Ag+ with thiol groups plays an essential role in bacterial inactivation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
