The renaturation of reduced polyalanyl-chymotrypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen.
Chymotrypsinogen has been successfully renatured in solution, after reduction of its 5 disulfide bonds in 6 M guanidine-HCl. This has been made possible by the study of the renaturation of a model derivative, polyalanyl-chymotrypsinogen. The reduced derivative is shown to refold and reoxodize spontaneously, with a 30-4...

Further studies on lipid-peroxide formation in isolated hepatocytes.
Lipid peroxide formation was initiated by the addition of either ADP-complexed Fe3+ or cumene hydroperoxide to a suspension of isolated hepatocytes. The reaction was monitored by malonaldehyde measurements. Upon the addition of iron, malonaldehyde production in the cells started immediately but ceased within 30-60 min,...

Purine nucleotide cycle. Evidence for the occurrence of the cycle in brain.
Cell-free extracts of rat brain catalyze the reactions of the purine nucleotide cycle. Ammonia is formed during the deamination but not the amination phase of the cycle. The activity of adenylate deaminase in brain is sufficient to account for the maximum rates of ammonia production that have been reported. The activit...

Kinetics of alpha-chymotrypsin dimerization.
A method has been devised which permits the observation of the loss of active sites promoted by aggregation of alpha-chymotrypsin. When alpha-chymotrypsin in unbuffered solution at pH 7 is mixed with buffered proflavin by stopped flow instrumentation to give a final pH of 3.89, a decrease in active sites occurs, as mea...

Serum stimulation of phosphate uptake into 3T3 cells.
The stimulation by calf serum of phosphate uptake into 3T3 cells results from a change in maximum velocity of the transport process with no change in the Michaelis constant. Only arsenate among a series of inorganic structural analogs of phosphate inhibited phosphate uptake indicating a high specificity for the process...

Dinoflagellate bioluminescence: a comparative study of invitro components.
In vitro bioluminescence components of the dinoflagellates Gonyaulax polyedra, G. tamarensis, Dissodinium lunual, and Pyrocystis noctiluca were studied. The luciferases and luciferins of the four species cross-react in all combinations. All of these species possess high-molecular weight luciferases (200,000-400,000 dal...

Control of phenylalanine hydroxylase synthesis in tissue culture by serum and insulin.
Stationary-phase, minimal deviation hepatoma H4-II-E-C3 cell cultures that are serum-deprived respond with a biphasic time course of phenylalanine hydroxylase induction when dialyzed fetal calf serum or insulin is added. These two agents induce phenylalanine hydroxylase additively, during both the initial 3-hour and th...

Effect of lumbar sympathetic blockade and chlorpromazine-induced adrenergic alpha-receptor blockade on skin temperature in peripheral arterial diseases.
The post-cooling toe temperature changes after lumbar sympathetic blockade and after intramuscular administration of an adrenergic alpha-receptor blocking substance (chlorpromazine) were studied in 14 patients with impending gangrene because of peripheral arterial insufficiency. The post-cooling temperature rise was si...

High-speed ion-pair partition chromatography in pharmaceutical analysis.
Ion-pair chromatography offers attractive possibilities in pharmaceutical analysis. The specificity of the separation systems can be varied over a wide range by appropriate selection of the stationary phase. The choice of a suitable counter-ion can also drastically improve the detection limit, permitting the determinat...

Analytical separation of amino acids on a cation-exchange resin cross-linked with m-divinylbenzene.
The elution bands of acidic and neutral amino acids of protein hydrolysates, emerging from the column of a cation-exchange resin cross-linked with pure m-divinylbenzene, are narrower than those from a resin prepared from styrene and technical divinylbenzene. As a result of these narrower bands, a more complete resoluti...

[Template chromatography on immobilized oligonucleotides. Synthesis and application of oligodeoxyadenosine-5'-phosphate--DEAE-cellulose (author's transl)].
Oligomers of deoxyadenylic acid, obtained by polycondensation, were covalently attached to polyvinyl alcohol. These polymer-bound oligonucleotides undergo very strong adsorption on DEAE-cellulose such that at neutral pH and with 1 M NaCl, partial desorbtion occurs only above 60 degrees. The use of this PV(pA)n-DEAE-cel...

A rapid and comprehensive system for the routine identification of drugs in biological material based on microphase extraction and drug colour profiles.
The separation of basic, acidic and neutral drugs from propanol-2 extracts of serum, urine and tissue homogenates at different pH values using a micro-phase extraction technique is described. Following preliminary screening, the various drug-containing fractions obtained are further examined by two-dimensional thin-lay...

The chromatographic behaviour of 48 alkaloids has been studied on Bio-Rad AG 1-X4, Cellex D and microcrystalline cellulose, eluting with solutions of different pH but constant ionic strength (0.5). Many interesting separations were effected on both AG 1-X4 and Cellex D layers. The influence of pH on the chromatographic...
