| combined use of bucolome and pyrazolone derivatives (ii). complex formation due to interaction between bucolome and pyrazolones. | we have already reported that bucolome (bcp), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, potentiates significantly the analgesic and antipyretic effects of pyrazolones which are substituted by alkylamino group at 4-position of the pyrazolone ring. physical and quantum chemistry were applied to the mechanism of this synergistic action. the solubility of bcp was markedly increased in proportion to elevation of aminopyrine (am) concentration, but not by a combination with isopropylantipyrine (ip). th ... | 1975 | 282 |
| the interaction of bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase with hydrogen peroxide: inactivation of the enzyme. | bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase was slowly and irreversibly inactivated by hydrogen peroxide. the rate of this inactivation was directly dependent upon the concentrations of both h2o2 and of enzyme, and its second-order rate constant at ph 10.0 and 25 degrees was 6.7 m-1 sec-1. inactivation was preceded by a bleaching due to rapid reduction of cu2+ on the enzyme, and following this there was a gradual reappearance of a new absorption in the visible region, which was coincident with the l ... | 1975 | 49 |

| identification of albumin as the serum factor essential for the growth of activated human lymphocytes. | albumin from human, bovine, or rabbit serum supported the growth of concanavalin a-stimulated human thymus-derived lymphocytes equally well. this activity was completely abolished by pepsin digestion. it was shown for bovine serum albumin that the albumin molecule itself, and neither an impurity nor a factor bound to albumin was essential for the growth of lymphocytes. this conclusion was based on observations that the growth-promoting activity could not be removed from albumin, and that the spe ... | 1976 | 2610 |
| conformation of gonadotropin releasing hormone. | the conformation of the gonadotropin releasing hormone (gn-rh), whose primary sequence is pglu-his-trp-ser-tyr-gly-leu-arg-pro-glynh2, and of several of its structural analogues has been studied by circular dichroism, optical rotatory dispersion, and fluorescence spectroscopy. the effects of ph, guanidine, and temperature on fluorescence emission have also been examined. titration data demonstrate that the histidine and tyrosine residues are free of any mutual interactions. the similarity of emi ... | 1976 | 2282 |
