[comparative study of lipoteichoic acid from streptococcus pyogenes type 29 isolated by different methods].a comparative study of lipoteichoic acid preparations extracted from streptococcus pyogenes with cold and hot phenol and trichloracetic acid was made. the most delicate way for isolation of lipoteichoic acid from the given microorganisms is cold phenol extraction.19853911202
nadph/nadh-dependent cold-labile glutamate dehydrogenase in azospirillum brasilense. purification and properties.a cold-labile glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh, ec 1.4.1.3) has been purified to homogeneity from the crude extracts of azospirillum brasilense. the purified enzyme shows a dual coenzyme specificity, and both the nadph and nadh-dependent activities are equally cold-sensitive. the enzyme is highly specific for the substrates 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate. kinetic studies with gdh indicate that the enzyme is primarily designed to catalyse the reductive amination of 2-oxoglutarate. the nadp+-linked acti ...19863956501
mitomycin c-induced bidirectional transcription from the colicin e1 promoter region in plasmid cole1.treatment of a colicinogenic culture with mitomycin c induces convergent transcription from two adjacent promoters at the beginning of the colicin e1 gene. s1-mapping and primer extension assays indicate that the mitomycin c-inducible transcripts correspond to colicin e1 mrna (cea mrna) and to a transcript, designated rna-c, that may code for an entry exclusion function. nucleotide sequences that strongly resemble a consensus sequence for lexa protein binding sites span the transcription start p ...19863092859
retinal toxicity of combination antiviral drugs in an animal model.we investigated the retinal toxicity of various combinations of four antiviral agents in intravitreal injection and vitrectomy infusion solutions in the rabbit. the nontoxic concentration of each individual agent for intravitreal injection and for vitrectomy infusion has previously been described. our results support the concept that concentrations of 200 micrograms/0.1 ml of trifluridine, 400 micrograms/0.1 ml of hydroxyacyclovir, 200 micrograms/0.1 ml of acyclovir and 30 micrograms/0.1 ml of v ...19873123041
