The magnitude of the proton motive force (p) and its constituents, the electrical () and chemical potential (-ZpH), were established for chemostat cultures of a protease-producing, relaxed (rel ) variant and a not protease-producing, stringent (rel +) variant of an industrial strain ofBacillus licheniformis (respectively referred to as the A- and the B-type). For both types, an inverse relation of p with the specific growth rate was found. The calculated intracellular pH (pHin) was not constant but inversely related to . This change in pHin might be related to regulatory functions of metabolism but a regulatory role for pHin itself could not be envisaged. Measurement of the adenylate energy charge (EC) showed a direct relation with for glucose-limited chemostat cultures; in nitrogen-limited chemostat cultures, the EC showed an approximately constant value at low and an increased value at higher . For both limitations, the ATP/ADP ratio was directly related to .The phosphorylation potential (G'p) was invariant with . From the values for G'p and p, a variable H+/ATP-stoichiometry was inferred: H+/ATP=1.83+0.52µ, so that at a given H+/O-ratio of four (4), the apparent P/O-ratio (inferred from regression analysis) showed a decline of 2.16 to 1.87 for =0 to max (we discuss how more than half of this decline will be independent of any change in internal cell-volume). We propose that the constancy of G'p and the decrease in the efficiency of energy-conservation (P/O-value) with increasing are a way in which the cells try to cope with an apparent less than perfect coordination between anabolism and catabolism to keep up the highest possible with a minimum loss of growth-efficiency. Protease production in nitrogen-limited cultures as compared to glucose-limited cultures, and the difference between the A- and B-type, could not be explained by a different energy-status of the cells.Abbreviations CCCP carbonylcyanide-p-trichloromethoxyphenylhydrazone - DW dry weight of biomass - F Faraday's constant, 96.6 J/(mV × mol) - Fo chemostat outflow-rate (ml/h) - FCCP carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone - G'p phosphorylation potential, the Gibbs energy change for ATP-synthesis from ADP and Pi - G'0p standard Gibbs energy change at specified conditions - H+/ATP number of protons translocated through - ATP synthase in synthesis of one ATP - H+/O protons translocated during transfer of 2 electrons from substrate to oxygen - specific growth rate (1/h) - H+ transmembrane electrochemical proton potential, J/mol - Mb molar weight (147.6 g/mol) of bacteria with general cell formula C6.0H10.8O3.0N1.2 - pHout,in extracellular, intracellular pH - Pi (intracellular) inorganic phosphate - p proton motive force, mV - pH transmembrane pH-difference - transmembrane electrical potential, mV - P/O number of ADP phosphorylated to ATP upon reduction of one O2– to H2O by two electrons transferred through the electron transfer chain - P/O (H+/O) × (H+/ATP)–1 - P/OF, P/ON P/O with the two electrons donated by resp.

The boron tolerance of two summer squash cultivars (Cucurbita pepo L. Aristocrat Zucchini and Peter Pan Scallop) and one winter squash cultivar (Cucurbita moschata Poir. Butter boy) was determined in large, outdoor sand cultures. Boron treatments were imposed by irrigation with culture solutions that contained 1.0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, or 15.0 mg B L-1. Relative fruit yields of Zucchini, Scallop, and Butter boy were reduced 5.2%, 9.8%, and 4.3% with each unit (mg L-1) increase in soil solution B (Bsw)>2.7, 4.9, and 1.0 mg B L-1, respectively. Reduced yields of all cultivars were attributed to a reduction in fruit number and not fruit size. Boron concentrations in leaves and fruit were directly correlated to Bsw.  相似文献

Tissue-cultured plantlets of three sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) cultivars having a known field smut reaction were screened for susceptibility to Ustilago scitaminea H&P Sydow. Plantlets were inoculated with 0.5 l of a suspension of equally mixed quantities of plus and minus mating type sporidia of U. scitaminea at concentrations ranging from 1×101 to 1×106 cells. Fungal sori (whips) were produced in cultivar N12 (intermediate) 6weeks following inoculation with 1×105 mixed sporidia and thereafter in cultivar NCo310 (susceptible) but not in cultivar N19 (resistant). Sori bearing teliospores were produced up to 3months following inoculation and incubation at 26°C. No sori were produced at mixed sporidial concentrations lower than 1×105cells. The in vitro soral production in cultivars N19, N12 and NCo310 was 0, 27.5 and 47.5% respectively. Plantlets inoculated with 1×105sporidia of only one mating-type did not produce sori in any of the three cultivars tested. Blind scoring of an unknown sugarcane cultivar by this method corresponded exactly with its field smut rating.  相似文献

Tumor-specific expression of Qa-2k antigen coded by the Q5k gene on various mouse tumor cells and immunological response of the host mice to the antigen have been demonstrated [Seo et al. (1992) J Exp Med 175: 547; Tanino et al. (1992) Cancer Immunol Immunother 35: 230]. The possibility was examined that Qa-2 antigen is one of the recognition target molecules of immunopotentiator-induced, H-2-nonrestricted tumoricidal lymphocytes of Qa-2 mice. Lymphocytes stimulated in vivo withP. acnes or culture-induced anomalous killers of B6.K1 mice did not exhibit significant in vitro cytotoxicity against B6.K1 lymphoblasts but lysed their Qa-2,3-congenic counterpart B6 lymphoblasts. To demonstrate the Qa-2 specificity of such cytotoxic cells more precisely, an L cell transformant clone (LQ7b/Kb), which expressed the 1 and 2 domains of the Qa-2 antigen (Q7b gene product), was generated by transfecting a cloned plasmid DNA containing a hybrid gene constructed from the 5 half of the Q7b gene and the 3 half of the H-2Kb gene (pQ7b/Kb). Using LQ7b/Kb cells as the target cells and the nylon-wool-nonadherent fraction of lymphocytes fromP. acnes-stimulated (C3H/He × B6.K1)F1 mice (H-2k, Qa-2) as the effector cells of the in vitro cytotoxicity reaction, the presence of cytotoxic cells that recognize the 1/2 region of the Q7b gene product was demonstrated. The cytotoxic activity was dependent on T cells bearing T cell receptors of the / type (TCR/). The (C3H/He × B6.K1)F1 effector cells, as well as the B6.K1 effector cells also lysed BW5147 lymphoma cells (Qa-2k+) derived from AKR mice (Qa-2, H-2k). By target-competition experiments it was shown that some of the effector cells lytic to BW5147 were identical to those that lysed LQ7b/Kb. Therefore some of the tumoricidal cells induced by the immunopotentiator interact with the target tumor cells through recognition of the 1/2 region of the Qa-2k tumor antigen by TCR/.  相似文献

Summary In merodiploid cells containing a double dose of structural genes of RNA polymerase subunits-rpoBand rpoC-the rate of and subunits synthesis is 2 times higher than in haploidcells. Missence mutation rpoC1 (tsX) alters polypeptide and inducesthe and subunits synthesis at increased rate, particularly at a nonpermissive temperature. When rpoBCoperon carrying mutation rpoC1 is duplicated no dosage effect is observed. In the rpoC +/rpoC1 heterodiploid the rpoC1 mutation does not significantly accelerate RNA polymerase subunits synthesis i.e. is recessive with respect to rpoC + Rifampicin causes 6-fold stimulation of RNA polymerase subunits synthesis in a sensitive wild-type strain. The rpoC1 mutation itself accelerates the synthesis of these subunits 3-fold. In the presence of rifampicin the mutant strain produces 13–22-fold faster as compared to wild-type strain without the drug. Thus, the effects of rifampicin and the mutation are multiplied suggesting that these factors act independently. Similar data have also been obtained with rifampicin-treated cells of rpoB22 (ts22) amber-mutant.After UV-irradiation of cells and synthesis is depressed much stronger than the total protein synthesis. Infection with a transducing phage rif d-47 which carries rpoB gene provokes a higher rate of synthesis. When pre-irradiated cells (500 erg/mm2) are infected with this phage, the rate of synthesis grows 20-fold compared to irradiated, non-infected cells and 6.5-fold compared to intact cells.The data are discussed in terms of the possible regulatory mechanisms of RNA polymerase subunit synthesis.  相似文献

Mammalian brain tubulin is an heterodimer; both and exist in 6–7 isotypic forms which differ in their amino acid sequences. By the use of isotype-specific monoclonal antibodies, we have previously shown that we can purify the II, III, anda IV tubulin dimers from bovine brain. We have also observed that these isotypes differ in their distributionin vivo and their polymerization and drug-binding propertiesin vitro. We have now explored the question of whether the isotypically purified dimers differ in their overall conformation using as probes compounds of theN,N-polymethylenebis (iodoacetamide) series which are known to form discrete intrachain cross-links in-tubulin. These compounds have the structure ICH2CONH(CH2) n NHCOCH2I. One of these cross-links, designated s, is between cys12 and either cys201 or cys211. The other, designated *, is between cys239 and cys354. The * cross-link forms in II and IV but not in III; this is not surprising in view of the fact that III has serine at position 239 instead of cysteine. However, III is also unable to form the s cross-link, although it appears to have all three cysteines which may be involved in the cross-link. This suggests that at least one of the sulfhydryls involved in the cross-link may be inaccessible in III. Although both II and IV can form the s cross-link, the dependence on cross-linker chain length is different. II forms s with derivatives in whichn=2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 but not with those in whichn=3 or 10. In contrast, IV forms s with derivatives in whichn=2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10. These results imply that the s sulfhydryls are slightly more accessible in IV and are therefore less dependent on the conformation of the cross-linker to react with it. It appears, therefore, that the II, III, and IV dimers each have unique conformations. This may help to explain the different assembly and drug-binding properties of these dimers.  相似文献

Summary The agglutinin isolated from the seeds of Maclura pomifera (MPA) recognizes a mucin-type disaccharide sequence, Gal13GalNAc (T) on a human erythrocyte membrane. We have utilized the enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay (ELLSA) and inhibition assay to more systematically analyze the carbohydrate specificity of MPA with glyco-recognition factors and mammalian Gal/GalNAc structural units in lectin–glycoform interactions. From the results, it is concluded that the high densities of polyvalent GalNAc1Ser/Thr (Tn) and Gal13GalNAc1Ser/Thr (T) glycotopes in macromolecules are the most critical factors for MPA binding, being on a nanogram basis 2.0 × 105, 4.6 × 104 and 3.9 × 104 more active than monovalent Gal, monomeric T and Tn glycotope, respectively. Other carbohydrate structural units in mammalian glycoconjugates, such as human blood group Sd (a+) related disaccharide (GalNAc14Gal) and Pk/P1 active disaccharide (Gal14Gal) were inactive. These results demonstrate that the configurations of carbon-4 and carbon-2 are essential for MPA binding and establish the importance of affinity enhancement by high-density polyvalencies of Tn/T glycotopes in MPA–glycan interactions. The overall binding profile of MPA can be defined in decreasing order as high density of polyvalent Tn/T (M.W. > 4.0 × 104) >> Tn-containing glycopeptides (M.W. < 3.0 × 103) > monomeric T/Tn and P (GalNAc13Gal) > GalNAc > Gal >> Man, LAra, DFuc and Glc (inactive). Our findings should aid in the selection of this lectin for elucidating functions of carbohydrate chains in life processes and for applications in the biomedical sciences.  相似文献

This paper describes a joint study of the structure and nonlinear optical properties of vacuum evaporated thin films of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc for brevity). Film thickness ranges from 50 to 500 nm. The anisotropic paramagnetic resonance of Cu++ ions reveals that the Pc rings lie almost parallel to the substrate plane with however a large angular distribution (30° FWHM). Third harmonic optical generation measurements performed at 1.064 m and 1.907 m fundamental wavelengths give respectively an average value of the cubic susceptibility (3)(-3,)=(4±0.4)·10–12 e.s.u. and (2.1+-0.2) · 10-12 These values, although significantly higher than for a common ionic crystal, are about one order of magnitude lower than in conjugated 1-D systems, which shows that the 2-D -electron delocalization is less profitable than the 1-D one. Besides third harmonic, we have also observed second harmonic generation. Its polarization dependence is characteristic of a quadratic susceptibility enhanced in one direction, almost perpendicular to the substrate, withd eff comprised between 30 and 60 · 10-9 e.s.u. The possible origins ofd eff are discussed.  相似文献

Summary Bacteria with A-specific restriction plate unmodified phage with an efficiency of 10-2. One mutational event can produce restriction insensitive (sAo) mutants of . These differ from the original sA form of by no other property than their response to A-host specificity. Two-parental phage crosses involving sA and sAo, respectively, as non-selective marker allowed to map sA between genes cII and O. These data indicate that sA is the only site on DNA with affinity for A-specific restriction. DNA is thus an interesting substrate in in vitro A-specific restriction and modification. Using an assay based on the infectivity of DNA on helper-infected bacteria, A-specific modification activity was found in partially purified sonicates of bacteria with A-host specificity. In parallel to modification, 3H-methyl label from s-adenosylmethionine, the only cofactor required for modification, was transferred to unmodified DNA. No association of radioactivity was observed in control experiments with DNA from either modified ·A or from asAo mutant. These data suggest that A-specific modification is brought about by DNA methylation and that the sAo mutation not only abolished the affinity for A-specific restriction, but also for A-specific modification.  相似文献

Summary Determinations of current-voltage relationships are widely employed in the characterization of epithelial sodium transport. In order to determine the protocol dependence of transport parameters in the toad urinary bladder, studies were carried out in the presence and absence of amiloride, an inhibitor of active sodium transport. With symmetric positive and negative perturbations of the transepithelial electrical potential difference (0±100 mV) for 30 sec, the amiloride-sensitive current-voltage (i a -) relationship was near linear over the range –75+100 mV, indicating constancy of the conductance a and the apparent electromotive force E Na, lumped parameters of the standard electrical equivalent circuit model of the active transport system. With a reverse protocol (±1000 mV) or 15 min perturbations thei a - relationships were highly nonlinear. Nonlinearity reflected voltage dependence of parameters: perturbations that increased active transport decreased E Na and increased a, as evaluated from 10 sec perturbations of ; slowing of active transport produced the converse changes. These effects are usefully analyzed in both quasi-steady states and true steady states by means of a detailed equivalent circuit incorporating the significant ionic currents across each plasma membrane. Precise understanding of the significance of a and E Na will require characterization of the partial ionic conductances on perturbation of .  相似文献

In crown-gall tumor tissue obtained from leaves of Bryophyllum daigremontianum an adenosine 3:5-cyclic phosphate (3:5-cyclic-AMP) degrading activity increases up to 2.5 fold until the fifth day after inoculation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, declining to the value of the control in the solid tumor. Theophylline up to 1 mmol l–1 given to wounded leaves of Bryophyllum daigremontianum has no effect on the number of tumors. The effect of higher concentrations given over extended periods can be explained otherwise. Therefore it seems likely that the 3:5-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) has no effect on transformation and growth of crown-gall tumors in Bryophyllum daigremontianum.  相似文献

We measured leaf dry matter 18O and 13C in parasitic plants and their hosts growing in southwestern Australia. Parasite/host pairs included two mistletoe species, three species of holoparasites, and five species of root hemiparasites. Among these parasite functional types, significant variation was observed in parasite/host isotopic differences for both 18O (P<0.0001, n=65) and 13C (P<0.0001, n=64). Mistletoes were depleted in both 18O and 13C compared to their hosts; parasite/host differences were –4.0 for 18O (P<0.0001) and –1.9 for 13C (P<0.0001). The lower 18O in mistletoe leaf dry matter compared to their hosts is consistent with the frequently observed high transpiration rates of these parasites. Root hemiparasites were also depleted in 18O and 13C compared to their hosts, but not to the same extent as mistletoes; parasite/host differences were –1.0 for 18O (P=0.04) and –1.2 for 13C (P=0.0006). In contrast to mistletoes and root hemiparasites, holoparasites were enriched in both 18O and 13C compared to their hosts; parasite/host differences were +3.0 for 18O (P<0.0001) and +1.5 for 13C (P=0.02). The enrichment in 18O for holoparasite dry matter did not result from more enriched tissue water; holoparasite tissue water 18O was less than host leaf water 18O by a difference of –3.8 when sampled at midday (P=0.0003). Enrichment of holoparasites in 13C compared to their hosts is consistent with a generally observed pattern of enrichment in heterotrophic plant tissues. Results provide insights into the ecology of parasitic plants in southwestern Australia; additionally, they provide a context for the formulation of specific hypotheses aimed at elucidating mechanisms underlying isotopic variations among plants.  相似文献

N1 (= Nijmegen 1) D. melanogaster heterozygous for sparkling poliert (4) (= pol, here) were backcrossed as single pairs. When were not selected for departure from 1/1, pol/pol +, many exceptional ratios were observed even though the net for all 67 pairs was approximately one-to-one; in the same experiment a net excess of was observed. In a second experiment were selected for departure from 1/1, pol/pol +ratios. The net pol/pol +ratios became significantly different from the 1/1 expected but the sex ratio approached normal. Lineage of the males in the second experiment were recorded and displayed as pedigrees. These together with tabulated data suggest that in some pairs, one of the four categories pol , pol , pol +, pol + may be significantly greater or less than 1/4 of the total offspring recovered.  相似文献

Summary Five subunits (-, -, -, - and -subunits) of the six -and -subunits) in the F1 portion (F1ATPase) of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase were isolated by an electrophoretic method. The - and -subunits were not distinguishable immunologically but showed completely different tryptic peptide maps, indicating that they were different molecular species. In vitro protein synthesis with isolated sweet potato root mitochondria produced only the -subunit when analyzed with anti-sweet potato F1ATPase antibody reacting with all the subunits except the -subunit. Sweet potato root poly(A)+RNA directed the synthesis of six polypeptides which were immunoprecipitated by the antibody: two of them immunologically related to the -subunit and the others to the - and -subunits. We conclude that the -subunit of the F1ATPase is synthesized only in the mitochondria and the -, - and -subunits are in the cytoplasm.  相似文献

The administration of mTNF and hIL-1 was investigated for their potential to increase the anti-tumor activity of AMN-anti-Ly-2.1 against the Ly-2.1+ murine thymoma ITT(1) 75 NS E3. Dose response studies using mTNF alone demonstrated a single 10g iv injection produced 30% inhibition in tumor size while 3 doses of 1g administered on alternative days produced 70% tumor inhibition. By contrast, hIL-1 was unable to significantly reduce E3 tumor size using single doses up to 10g or a total of 30g administered in 3 doses (iv or ip). However, intratumor injection of hIL-1 (20g injected in 2 doses) produced 20% inhibition in tumor size. Combination therapy using AMN immunoconjugates with mTNF showed enhanced antitumor activity compared to each agent alone. Biodistribution studies revealed that anti-tumor activity, was due to increased localization (2–3 fold) of AMN immunoconjugates in the presence of mTNF- whereas huIL-1 was without effect unless accompanying toxicity was seen. Clearly for this tumor, mTNF potentiated the effects of AMN immunoconjugates. Despite the shared biological properties of these cytokines, mTNF is superior to hIL- for augmenting drug immunoconjugate.Abbreviations AMN Aminopterin - CBF1 (C57BL6xBALB/c)F1 mice - DMSO Dimethyl sulfoxide - E3 ITT(1)75NS E3 - HAMA human-anti-mouse antibody - i.p. intraperitoneal(ly) - I.T. intratumor - i.v. intravenous(ly) - hIL-1 recombinant human Interleukin-1-alpha - MoAb monoclonal antibody - PBS phosphate buffered saline - SE standard error - s.c. subcutaneous(ly) - mTNF recombinant murine tumor necrosis factor-alpha  相似文献

A census of four species of syntopic parrots was carried out using distance sampling methods on São Sebastião island, SE Brazil. Most of the 33593 ha island is covered by mature and secondary Atlantic rainforest. Almost 80% of these forests are within the Ilhabela Park. Although the species counted have marked differences in size and weight, density (individuals/km2) and estimated population size in 23500 ha of well-preserved forests were similar: Amazona farinosa (13.82±5.94; 3247±1395), Pionus maximiliani (15.79±7.04; 3712±1654), Brotogeris tirica (15.05±4.87; 3537±1143) and Pyrrhura frontalis (13.06±5.53; 3068±1298). Encounter rates of Forpus crassirostris and Pionopsitta pileata were very low, which suggests that there is only a small population of these species on the island. The São Sebastião forests still support healthy populations of parrots. Although woodpecker population estimates on the island are large enough to provide nesting sites for parrots, competition for holes with other secondary cavity nesters such as toucans, flycatchers and tytiras, and the selective cutting of dead trees for canoe construction, which is a common practice on the island, may limit hole availability for parrots.  相似文献

Summary The relationship between the arrangement of cell events occurring in cambium in a definite configuration and the grain pattern of wood was investigated. Taking into consideration the growth activity of fusiform cell ends, a model of a migrating morphogenetic wave determining an event configuration was made. Waves of length =1 m for the periods T=2 years and T=3 years and waves of lengths =l m and =0.04 m for the period T=10 years were considered. On the model, events from successive annual rings, conventionally comprising 10 cell layers each, were summed. In this way, event maps were obtained. For wave =4 mm, the domain pattern on the modelled map was compatible with the grain pattern. The domain pattern for the wave =1 m was impossible to recreate because the wave migrated too fast. In this case, the pattern of event configuration, incompatible with the grain pattern, formed microareas, which were not domains.  相似文献

-d-Glucosidase, -d-fucosidase -d-xylosidase, and -cellobiopyranosidase activities in Caecomyces communis, Neocallimastix frontalis, and Piromyces rhizinflata, located with fluorescent conjugates, occur throughout the whole thallus as from zoospore germination and disappear before sporulation. -d-Galactosidase and -l-arabinopyranosidase activities are low or nonexistent. A xylanase, detected by indirect immunofluorescence, was observed at the surface of the vegetative cells, vesicles, or rhizoids. Cross-reactions prove the existence of analogies in structure among the enzymes of these anaerobic gut fungi.  相似文献

Summary Pollen tubes ofLilium longiflorum growingin vitro were treated for 1 h with inorganic lead (Pb) and with triethyl lead (TriEL) and studied by light and electron microscopy. Pb was considerably more toxic in relation to inhibition of pollen tube growth (EC50=6 M Pb) than was TriEL (EC50=60 M TriEL). On the other hand, at almost the entire concentration range tested (25-500 M) TriEL caused aberrant tubes and tube swellings. Pb did not cause tube swellings, even at highly growth-impairing concentrations. Pb (60 M) predominantly affected the ultrastructure of the growing cell walls without impairing the distribution of the cell organelles in the tube tips. In contrast, 50 and 100 M TriEL did not visibly influence cell wall ultrastructure but it severely damaged dictyosomes; 100 M TriEL also disturbed the original order of cell organelles in the tube tips. Cortical microtubules were selectively and completely destructed by TriEL at concentrations (50 M) where no effect on polar organization of the tube tips occurred but they remained unimpaired by 60 M Pb, indicating selective and effective interaction of TriEL with these cell organelles.Abbreviations EC50 effective lead concentration causing 50% inhibition of pollen tube growth - MTs microtubules - Pb inorganic lead - TriAL trialkyl lead - TriEL triethyl lead  相似文献

Synthetic thioglycoside-analogs of gangliosides such as Neu5Ac)2-S-6)Glc-(1-1)Ceramide (1) and the GM3 analog Neu5Ac(2-S-6)Gal-(1–4)Glc(1-1)Ceramide (2), competitively inhibited GM3 hydrolysis by the sialidase of different subtypes of human and animal influenza viruses with an apparent Ki value of 2.8×10–6 and 1.5×10–5 M, respectively. The inhibitory activity of the ganglioside GM4 analog [Neu5Ac-(2-S-6)Gal-(1-1)Ceramide (3)], in which the glucose of 1 was substituted by galactose, was lower than that of 1 (Ki =1.0×10–4 M). The thioglycoside-analogs (1, 2, 3) of the gangliosides were nonhydrolyzable substrates for influenza virus sialidase. The inhibitory activity of 1 to bacterial sialidases fromClostridium perfringens andArthrobacter ureafaciens was considerably lower than that to influenza virus sialidase, indicating that the structure of the active site in bacterial and influenza virus sialidase may be different and the analogs may be useful to determine the orientation of the substrate to the active site of sialidases, especially of influenza viruses.Abbreviations Cer ceramide - GM3 Neu5Ac(2–3)Gal(1–4)Glc(1-1)Cer - GM4 Neu5Ac(2–3)Gal(1-1)Cer Gangliosides were abbreviated according to Svennerholm [1] and the recommendation of the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature [2].  相似文献
