β¦ Synopsis
The effect of specific functional group modification of wool on the binding of a number of metal ions (individually) from aqueous solutions was studied. The metal ion uptake profiles for the different modified keratin polymers show that a degree of specificity of binding is imparted by the various modifications in terms of changes in capacities or rates of metal ion uptakes. The changes of uptake depend on both the particular ion and the particular protein modification involved. The results show the potential usefulness of the keratin derivatives for removal of toxic and industrial metal ions from water and contribute to interpretation of metal ions interactions with native wool and proteins in general. Treatments of woven wool with aqueous solutions of certain metal salts impart flame and insect resistance to the fabric.

## Abstract Wool fibres have shown potential for the removal and recovery of toxic chemical and metal ions; however, their slow kinetics of binding has limited their widespread application. In this study three wool powders have been prepared from chopped wool fibre using various milling operations.
Three chemically modified woods were prepared and used for the binding of heavy metal ions. Wood-polyethylenimine composite (wood-PEI) was found to be effective for the adsorption of heavy metal ions such as Hg2+, Cu2+, and other metal ions which tend to form stable ammine complexes. Adsorption of
Ab initio calculations of a chemical shift at the HF/6-31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level on a model system representing the interaction between Zn ++ and the thiazoline ring of Bacitracin A is used for studying the binding mode between the metal ion and the ring system. The simulations show that a rein
