| estimation of rate and dissociation constants involving ternary complexes in reactions catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase. | stopped-flow studies of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by nad(+) in the presence of phenol red and large concentrations of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase give no evidence for the participation of a group of pk(a) approx. 7.6 in alcohol binding. such a group has been implicated in ethanol binding to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase [shore, gutfreund, brooks, santiago & santiago (1974) biochemistry13, 4185-4190]. the present result supports previous findings based on steady-state kinetic st ... | 1978 | 208510 |
| the subcellular distribution of [3h]-colchicine-binding activity and tubulin in pig blood platelets. | the subcellular distribution of the [3h]-colchicine-binding protein, believed to be tubulin, the subunit protein of microtubules, has been investigated in mammalian blood platelets. studies on a soluble extract from pig platelets and two particulate fractions (viz. membrane-rich and granule-rich fractions) have shown that about 98% of the colchicine-binding activity in a platelet homogenate is located in the soluble phase. this result is in agreement with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis exper ... | 1978 | 209572 |
| antibody to varicella-zoster virus after passive immunization against chickenpox. | antibody titers to varicella-zoster virus were measured in varicella-susceptible immunocompromised children 48 h after they received either one of two lots of zoster immune globulin (zig) or a selected lot of immune serum globulin (isg). globulin was given to modify varicella in these children after exposure to varicella or zoster. indirect immunofluorescence antibody titers (fama) of children after receipt of globulin ranged from less than 1:2 to 1:32. geometric mean fama titers were highest af ... | 1978 | 217893 |

| role of the membrane (m) protein in endogenous inhibition of in vitro transcription by vesicular stomatitis virus. | an endogenous transcriptase inhibitor active at high concentrations of vesicular stomatitis (vs) virus was present in trypsinized whole virions but was absent from ribonucleoprotein cores containing only the l, n, and ns proteins. poly(l-glutamic acid) effectively reversed the transcriptase inhibition. transcription under noninhibited, inhibited, and poly(l-glutamic acid)-reversed conditions did not appear to greatly affect the nature of the rna transcription product. the vs virion matrix (m) pr ... | 1979 | 219213 |
| difference in b cell mitogen responsiveness between closely related strains of mice. | spleen cells from c3h/hej mice respond very poorly to the mitogenic action of endotoxin (lps) in vitro whereas cells from a very closely related strain, c3h/hen respond very well. an analysis of the genetic similarity of these two strains was performed. there is no significant mlr measurable between cells of these strains under a variety of culture conditions. they do not manifest a significant graft-vs-host response nor do they reject reciprocal skin grafts. because of this genetic similarity, ... | 1975 | 239063 |
| auto-anti-pra: a 'second' example in a newborn. | a second example of anti-pra was recognized in a newborn infant which exhibited several signs of development disease. the antibody was complement-fixing 19s igm and showed a high thermal range but no detectable haemolytic anaemia was associated. it gave negative reactions with a panel of animal cells as well as with two samples of human en(a-) cells. the latter, however, could absorb the antibody. | 1975 | 1201231 |
| [nutrition and taxonomy of "enterobacteriaceae" and related bacteria. iii. nutritional characters and differentiation of the taxonomic groups (author's transl)]. | a batch of 186 strains belonging to the families enterobacteriaceae or vibrionaceae has been studied by determination, for each strain, of the "versatility" towards 146 organic substrates tested as sole source of carbon and energy. this study allowed to work out a classification of these strains into the 32 classes which have been previously described. in the present paper the nutritional characters of these classes are reported. on the basis of these characters, the 32 classes may be regrouped ... | 1975 | 1217784 |
