The activity of Zn2+ ions bound to carboxyl groups of pectin of esterification degree E 0 to 90% and to oligomeric potassium galacturonates of polymerization degree 1 to 7 was estimated by the metallochromic indicator (tetramethylmurexide) method. The zinc ions are stoichiometrically bound to pectin, one Zn2+ cation to two free carboxyl groups. The stability constant K of zinc pectinates strongly decreases with the increasing esterification degree in a relationship close to a linear logarithmic function, log K = f(E) similarly, as with the binding of Ca2+ ions to pectin. Pectin reveals a little higher selectivity to Zn2+ ions when considering this couple of cations. The zinc ions are bound to the monomeric D-galacturonic acid to a very low extent in contrast to some toxic cations as e.g. Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+. A continuous increase of the degree of association of Zn2+ ions with carboxyl groups of oligomers takes place with the increasing polymerization degree. The validity of the increment additivity of terminal and inner uronic acid units to the final activity of zinc counterions bound to these oligomers was proved. The results are discussed from the standpoint of application of pectin as an active component of prophylactic diets against poisoning with cations of toxic metals with respect to the excretion of Zn2+ ions from the human body. Findings concerning the interaction of Zn2+ ions with pectin in dependence on its esterification degree (E) constitute a theoretical basis for a potential application of pectin as a useful ligand of Zn2+ ions in medical treatment of zinc deficiency in the human body.

ABSTRACTA hybrid assembly was built using ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays and colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) stabilized by 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). The QDs were chemically linked to the nanowires through the bonds formed between the outgoing carboxyl groups of the QD stabilizers and the zinc ions on the nanowire surface. An efficient clustering attachment of the QDs was achieved via partial removal of the stabilizers of the QDs. The photoconductivity of the NW/QD assembly was investigated by selective excitation of the CdSe QDs. Oxygen desorption from the nanowire surface enhances the photoconductivity and a model involving electron transfer between the QDs and the nanowires is proposed to explain the experimental results.
