Purification of human erythropoietin.
Human erythropoietin, derived from urine of patients with aplastic anemia, has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The seven-step procedure, which included ion exchange chromatography, ethanol precipitation, gel filtration, and adsorption chromatography, yielded a preparation with a potency of 70,400 units/mg of pro...

Kinetic mechanism of tRNA nucleotidyltransferase from Escherichia coli.
A kinetic analysis of the incorporation of AMP into tRNA lacking the 3'-terminal residue by tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (EC 2.2.7.25) from Escherichia coli is presented. Initial velocity studies demonstrate that the mechanism is sequential and that high concentrations of tRNA give rise to substrate inhibition which is ...

Multiclinic double-blind comparison of triazolam and flurazepam for seven nights in outpatients with insomnia.
In this two-clinic seven-day double-blind study, 0.5 mg triazolam (Halcion) was compared to flurazepam (Dalmane) in the treatment of insomnia. Two clinical investigators completed 118 outpatients, 61 on triazolam and 57 on flurazepam. Five patients, four on triazolam and one on flurazepam, discontinued because of side ...

Autoxidation of N-hydroxyphenylalkylamines: the inhibitory effect of some anions on copper catalysed autoxidation of N-hydroxyphentermine.
The inhibitory effect of certain electrolytes and buffers on the copper catalysed autoxidation of N-hydroxyphentermine (2-hydroxylamino-2-methyl-1-phenylpropane) has been investigated. The presence of ions such as SO4(2-), Cl- or Br- markedly reduced the rate of oxidation. Phosphate and carbonate buffers had a similar ...

Pharmacologic analysis of stretch-induced sinus acceleration of the isolated dog atrium.
Using isolated, blood-perfused atrium preparation of the dogs, the effect of stretch on sinus rate was studied in 11 preparations. Stretching usually produced sinus acceleration in all 11 spontaneously beating atria. Within a range of 0--30 Gm, greater degrees of stretch produced greater degrees of sinus acceleration. ...

Enzymatic synthesis of polyprenol monophosphate mannose in insects.
The microsomal fraction of insects was found to contain an enzyme which transfers mannose from guanosine diphosphate mannose to an endogenous or exogenous insect lipid and to other acceptors such as dolichol monophosphate or ficaprenol monophosphate. This activity depended on the presence of Triton X-100 and magnesium ...

A role for asparaginyl-tRNA in the regulation of asparagine synthetase in a mammalian cell line.
The expression of asparagine synthetase activity [L-aspartate:ammonia ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.3.1.1] in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is regulated by asparagine. After transfer of CHO cells from an asparagine-supplemented medium to a medium lacking asparagine, activity increases 1.5- to 2-fold. If aspar...
