| characterization of the structure and properties of the his 62-->ala and arg 38-->ala mutants of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase: an investigation of the catalytic and activatory sites by site-directed mutagenesis and nmr. | the role of two "basic patch" residues, arg-38 and his-62, in the catalytic function and anion-dependent activation of yeast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (pgk) was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. steady-state kinetics and nmr experiments were conducted to characterize the functional properties and structural integrity of the r38a and h62a mutants. the results of these studies, in combination with earlier mutagenesis experiments, suggest that arg-38 is the only catalytically essential res ... | 1992 | 1304916 |
| high-level expression using baculovirus, purification, and characterization of a monomeric form of type ii calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. | the type ii calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is an oligomer existing in multiple isozymic forms. to facilitate investigations of the regulatory mechanisms of this complex enzyme, we have constructed a truncated, calmodulin-dependent monomer of the alpha subunit. the n-terminal enzyme fragment (alpha 315) was expressed at high levels in a baculovirus/insect cell expression system. the recombinant protein was purified chromatographically using deae-cellulose, calmodulin-sepharose, and affigel b ... | 1992 | 1330134 |
| isolation and sequence of a cdna encoding the precursor of a bombesinlike peptide from brain and early embryos of xenopus laevis. | a cdna encoding the precursor of a bombesinlike peptide was isolated from brain of xenopus laevis. the predicted end product resembles neuromedin b, which was originally isolated from mammalian spinal cord. the mrna for this precursor was also present in gastrointestinal tract and in ovaries. moreover, it could be detected in early embryos (stage 2 and stage 10) of x. laevis. these findings suggest novel roles for peptides of the bombesin family in oocyte maturation and early amphibian developme ... | 1992 | 1409705 |
| determination of concentrations by time domain fitting of proton nmr echo signals using prior knowledge. | a fast and flexible time domain iterative fitting procedure that can be used to fit free induction decays as well as echo-like signals is described. damping constants of the first and second part of the echo do not have to be identical. prior knowledge can be used to diminish the number of parameters to be fitted, which results in an improved accuracy. it is shown how prior knowledge is mathematically incorporated in the gauss-newton method. from proton nmr measurements of model solutions actual ... | 1992 | 1435212 |

| the evolution of the psro hospital review system. | over the past several years, the psro hospital review system has evolved to such an extent as to merit re-examination of its objectives, accomplishments and potential, as well as the obstacles to success that still remain. the combination of review experience, political and funding pressures has reshaped the hospital review system. there is still controversy concerning the relative emphasis of the program on quality or costs, but there is no longer any question about the priority goal of the pro ... | 1998 | 107373 |
| comparison between ketotifen and dscg in bronchial challenge. | a double-blind cross-over study showed that orally taken ketotifen and inhaled dscg have a comparable protective effect on allergen-induced bronchoconstriction. both drugs significantly inhibit the immediate bronchial reaction after a 3 day treatment with either 1 mg ketotifen or 20 mg dscg four times daily. late reactions, which occurred in three out of the ten patients, were inhibited in two of the three patients by ketotifen as by dscg. | 1999 | 97033 |

| risk factors for neural deficit in spinal tuberculosis. | from 1975 through 1989, retrospective study of 155 patients with spinal tuberculosis was carried out at ramathibodi hospital to study predisposing factors to neural deficit and results of treatment. two groups of patients who had no neural deficit and had neural deficit were compared. clinical characteristics of the patients between the two study groups were similar with regard to sex, duration of symptoms, number of vertebrae involved, angle of gibbus deformity and erythrocyte sedimentation rat ... | 1999 | 1300362 |
| carbodiimide-binding protein of h+-translocating atpase and inhibition of h+ conduction by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. | h+-translocating atpase, which catalyzes atp synthesis in biomembranes, is composed of a head piece (f1) and a membrane moiety (f0). using highly-purified f0 from a thermophilic bacterium ps3 (tf0), the following results were obtained. 1. inhibition by n,n'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (dccd) of h+ conduction through tf0 followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. the second-order rate constant for inhibitor-enzyme interaction was 5 times 10(3) m(-1)-min(-1). 2. h+ conductivity blocked by dccd was proport ... | 2000 | 33978 |
