DEF

The structural part of a macromolecule that directly participates in its specific combination with a ligand. Binding sites are said to be interacting or independent depending on whether the binding of one ligand to one site does, or does not, affect the binding of other ligands, to other sites on the same molecule.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

For example, to assess the influence of water hardness on uranium toxicity, the merits of using a fixed Ca:Mg (4:1) ratio to account for potential differences in the ability of Ca and Mg to compete for binding sites and decrease uranium toxicity as well as the use of either CaCl2 and MgCl2, CaSO4 or CaCO3 to adjust water hardness and their potential effect on uranium toxicity must be taken into consideration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Par exemple, pour évaluer l'incidence de la dureté de l'eau sur la toxicité de l'uranium, on doit tenir compte du bien-fondé de l'utilisation d'un rapport Ca:Mg (4:1) fixe dans le but de tenir compte de la différence potentielle qui existe entre les capacités respectives du Ca et du Mg à se loger dans les sites de fixation et à diminuer la toxicité de l'uranium, ainsi que de l'utilisation de l'un des composés suivants (CaCl2 et MgCl2, CaSO4 ou CaCO3) afin d'ajuster la dureté de l'eau et son effet potentiel sur la toxicité de l'uranium.
