Refimprove date May 2010 An oxidizing acid is a Acid Br nsted acids Br nsted acid that is also a strong oxidizingagent . All Br nsted acids can act as moderately strong oxidizing agents, because the acidic proton can be reduced to hydrogen gas. Some acids contain other structures that act as stronger oxidizing agents than hydrogen. Generally, they contain oxygen in the anionic structure. These include nitric acid , perchloric acid , chloric acid , chromic acid , and concentrated sulfuric acid , among others. For example, copper metal cannot be oxidized by and dissolved in a non oxidizing acid, because it is lower on the reactivity series than acidic hydrogen, but an oxidizing acid such as nitric acid can oxidize the copper, and allow it to react.

other uses2 Meos Orphan date February 2009 merge to Ethanol metabolism date October 2011 The Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing System MEOS is an alternate pathway of ethanol metabolism that occurs in the microsome in the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde . While playing only a minor role in ethanol metabolism in average individuals, MEOS activity increases after chronic alcohol consumption. The MEOS pathway requires the CYP2E1 enzyme, part of the cytochrome P450 family of enzymes, to convert ethanol to acetaldehyde . Ethanol s affinity for CYP2E1 is lower than its affinity for alcohol dehydrogenase , thus its delayed activity in non chronic alcohol consumption states. Increase in MEOS activity is correlated with an increase in production of CYP2E1 , seen most conclusively in alcohol dehydrogenase negative deer mice. ref name discovery Chales S. Lieber. 2004.

Unreferenced date July 2009 An art agent is an Agent law agent who represents artist s. The agent functions by attempting to sell the works of an artist, or to otherwise find lucrative opportunities for the artist. The two parties have a contract worked out, where the agent takes a cut of the sales from any and all works, which may vary, depending on the relationship. Typically the range for a successful non gallery sale is between 15 and 35 to the agent of the final sales price when the agent is responsible for bringing a buyer. Arts sales made at a Gallery are often split 50 50 between the artist or Trust and the Gallery. It is in the art agent s best interests to sell the works of the artist. The relationship is seen as a Win win game win win for both the artist and the agent.
