- 1.1. In a continuing investigation of phycocyanin-membrane surface interaction, fluorescence quenching experiments were performed with a mixture of two populations of fluorescence probe-encapsulated phospholipid bilayer vesicles in the presence and absence of phycocyanin.
- 2.2. These membrane vesicles were prepared with 1,2-dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), cholesterol and a probe molecule.
- 3.3. A fluorophore was encapsulated in one population of membrane vesicles, while a quencher was encapsulated in another population of membrane vesicles.
- 4.4. The result was compared with those of experiments in the presence of other biomolecules, including albumin, cytochrome c, hemoglobin, myoglobin or RNA.
- 5.5. Interestingly, a one-third reduction of the fluorescence intensity was observed in the mixture of these two populations of membrane vesicles in phycocyanin's presence.
- 6.6. In contrast, the other biomolecules caused no significant reduction in the fluorescence intensity.
- 7.7. These findings were evidence of a phycocyanin-induced membrane perturbation.
- 8.8. This was further demonstrated by a phycocyanin-induced change in the thermotropic behavior of DMPC vesicles, as measured by differential scanning microcalorimetry.
- 9.9. Such a unique property of phycocyanin is believed to be associated with its known membrane surface-interacting character.
- 10.10. A possible phycocyanin-modulated membrane-membrane interaction was discussed.

Investigation of ligand binding to native cytochrome c, carboxymethyl-Met 80-cytochrome c, myoglobin and haemhexapeptide revealed that the binding of exogenous ligands is modulated by the following factors:
- 1.Hydrophobicity of the haem environment.
- 2.Haem accessibility to exogenous ligands, termed the haem crevice ‘open-closed’ parameter.
- 3.Steric interactions between the protein and the bound ligand.

- 1.1. A 12 week program of treadmill exercise (0.7 m/sec, 30 min per day, five days per week), significantly increased the myoglobin concentration of the femorotibialis medius muscle in bar-headed geese as compared to nonexercised controls.
- 2.2. The myoglobin concentration differed among various muscles within a bird. The highest myoglobin concentrations were found in the primary flight muscle, the pectoralis major, and in cardiac muscle.
- 3.3. By physically conditioning their muscles, bar-headed geese may improve the oxygen flow to mitochondria and, thereby, enhance their ability to exercise under conditions of low oxygen partial pressures.

- 1.1. A leupeptin-sensitive proteinase was partially purified from regressing tadpole tails by acetone factionation and column chromatography on S-Sepharose.
- 2.2. The enzyme degraded hemoglobin and myoglobin at pH 3.0. The enzyme also hydrolyzed Z-Phe-Arg-MCA and Boc-Val-Leu-Lys-MCA at pH 4.0.
- 3.3. The enzyme activity was inhibited by leupeptin, egg cystatin, E-64 and monoiodoacetic acid and was activated by l-cysteine.
- 4.4. The enzyme degraded myosin and actin in myofibrils of tadpole tails.
- 5.5. The enzyme belongs to the cysteine proteinase and is possibly involved in tail degradation during the metamorphosis of tadpoles.

- 1.1. Fundamental chitin digestion characteristics of Crassostrea virginica crystalline style were investigated.
- 2.2. Optimum temperature and pH were 34°C and 4.8. respectively.
- 3.3. The colloidal regenerated chitin (0.56mol/0.5 ml: GlcNAc equivalents) was saturating under all enzyme levels encountered.
- 4.4. There was no evidence of end product inhibition, even after 100 hr incubation.
- 5.5. Calculated Km for the chitinase complex was 1.19mM when determined using a 30 min assay, but was only 0.70 mM when determined using a 4.6 hr assay.
- 6.6. Both Km values are lower than reported for similar assays in other molluscs and for most bacteria.
- 7.7. Effect of substrate preparation on the kinetics are discussed.
- 8.8. Eight peaks of chitinase activity were resolved by DEAE-Fractogel ion exchange chromatography.

- 1.1. The hitherto undescribed sterol compositions of three marine sponge species belonging to the genus Cinachyrella are reported: C. alloclada and C. kükenthali from the Senegalese coast, at two different depths, and C. aff. schulzei from the lagoon of Nouméa, New Caledonia.
- 2.2. Fourteen free sterols have been identified by GC and GC/MS studies, including the 23,24ξ-dimethylcholesta-5,22-dien-3β-ol (10) and the rare 24-norcholesta-5,22-dien-3β-ol (1).
- 3.3. The first compound (10) is reported for the second time in a marine sponge and it was found only in Senegalese sponges collected in shallow waters.
- 4.4. Sterol (10) has been isolated by HPLC and identified by NMR techniques.
- 5.5. Significant amounts of cholest-7-en-3β-ol (7) were also found in the Senegalese sponge species.
- 6.6. Apart from these two compounds, the three sponge sterol compositions are found to be very similar.

- 1.1. One adult male, eight pups (including two full term foetuses) and nine adult female harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) were analysed for indices of mixed function oxidase (MFO) activity.
- 2.2. MFO activity was present in liver samples, but was at or below detection limits in samples of kidney, lung and pancreas.
- 3.3. Hepatic ethoxyresorufin O-de-ethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities were similar to those reported in other seals and in other mammals.
- 4.4. Cytochromes P-450 and b5 concentrations were slightly lower than those observed in other mammals.
- 5.5. MFO activities in newborn pups and foetuses were significantly lower than those in adult females.
- 6.6. No qualitative differences in cytochrome P-450 isozyme distribution between foetal and adult samples could be discerned by electrophoresis.

- 1.1. A comparative examination of sarcoplasmic proteins of the two nominal European species of angler-fish, Lophius piscatorius and L. budegassa was carried out using isoelectric focusing techniques.
- 2.2. Two protein bands differing in isoelectric point proved diagnostic for L. budegassa (pI 4.40 and pI 5.75) while a third characterized L. piscatorius (pI 4.65).
- 3.3. These species-specific protein profiles provide a method of species discrimination independent of morphological criteria.
- 4.4. Within-species heterogeneity of banding pattern suggested the presence of polymorphic gene loci of potential use in studies of population structure.

- 1.1. Halobacterium halobium has two chromatographically distinct forms of glutamate dehydrogenase which differ in their thermolability and other properties. One glutamate dehydrogenase utilizes NAD, the other NADP as a coenzyme.
- 2.2. The NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4) was purified 65-fold from crude extracts of H. halobium.
- 3.3. The Michaelis constants for 2-oxoglutarate (13.3 mM), ammonium (3.1 mM) and NADPH (0.077 mM) indicate that the enzyme catalyzes in vivo the formation of glutamate from ammonium and 2-oxoglutarate.
- 4.4. The amination of 2-oxoglutarate by NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase is optimal at the pH value of 8.0–8.5. The optimal NaCl or KCl concentration for the reaction is 1.6 M.
- 5.5. None of the several metabolites tested for a possible role in the regulation of glutamate dehydrogenase activity appeared to exert an appreciable influence on the enzyme.
- 6.6. NAD- and NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenases from H. halobium showed apparent molecular weights of 148,000 and 215,000 respectively.

- 1.1. The major form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Lygus hesperus demonstrated a greater affinity to selected substrates than unresolved AChE.
- 2.2. The turnover numbers of the native AChE were 7000 min−1 for acetylthiocoline, 4800 for acetyl-(β-methyl) thiocholine, 3000 for propionylthiocholine, and 390 for S-butyrylthiocholine.
- 3.3. Each molecule of the major form had two active sites and each subunit had one active site.
- 4.4. Paraoxon or dichlorvos had a higher affinity to the major AChE form than to the unresolved AChE, resulting in a higher potency for the inhibition.
- 5.5. Some references of comparison are also made with AChE from other animal species.

- 1.1. A novel glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor was partially purified from crayfish hepatopancreas.
- 2.2. The inhibitor was found only in two species of crayfish examined, and not in lobster, fresh and salt water clams, mussels or cockroaches.
- 3.3. The inhibitor is a small protein (Mr = 23,000) which did not show proteolytic activity.
- 4.4. Preliminary kinetic analysis of the inhibitory mechanism indicated that it bound to both glycogen and the glycogen phosphorylase protein.
- 5.5. Inhibitor binding to glycogen resulted in a competitive inhibition pattern with respect to glycogen phosphorylase (inhibition constant of ca 10 μg/ml).
- 6.6. The inhibitor also bound glycogen phosphorylase directly with a binding coefficient of 100 μg/ml resulting in a partially non-competitive inhibition pattern with respect to phosphate.

- 1.1. Six different monoclonal IgG mouse antibodies to heparin lyase I from Flavobacterium heparinum were prepared.
- 2.2. The monoclonal antibodies were used to detect heparin lyases I, II and III by dot-blotting immunoassay and by Western blotting.
- 3.3. Individual antibodies showed different reactivity toward the three heparin lyases.
- 4.4. The reactivity of two of the monoclonal antibodies was destroyed by exposing heparin lyases to sodium dodecyl sulfate.
- 5.5. The antibodies can be used to rapidly distinguish between the three heparin lyases.

- 2.2. Two active fractions were obtained.
- 3.3. The fraction obtained by elution with 100 mM borate buffer pH 9.0 was used in the subsequent work.
- 4.4. Th. vulgaris lipoxygenase oxidized linoleic acid into two products: 13-HPOD and 9-HPOD at a ratio of 44 to 56, respectively.
- 5.5. The identification and characterization of the isomers was done by HPLC, I.R. and mass spectrometry.
- 6.6. When arachidonic acid was used as substrate, 15-HPETE and 15-HETE were found to be the main enzymatic products.

- 1.1. The hemoglobins of Leporinus friderici were separated by liquid chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose in order to isolate the two major electrophoretic components.
- 2.2. The chromatographic fraction I (electrophoretically slow anodic) showed no Bohr effect and no nucleoside triphosphate modulation.
- 3.3. The chromatographic fraction III (electrophoretically fast anodic) showed a normal Bohr effect and addition of nucleoside triphosphate decreased oxygen affinity but did not alter the Bohr effect.
- 4.4. The whole hemolysate showed a normal Bohr effect and phosphate modulation altered both Bohr effect and oxygen affinity.
- 5.5. No or little difference between the effect of adenosine or guanosine triphosphates on hemoglobin function was observed.

- 1.1. Metmyoglobin reacted with H2O2 to form ferryl-myoglobin, which reverted back spontaneously to the met-form.
- 2.2. Through this cyclic reaction of myoglobin between metMb(III) and ferryl-Mb(IV), we propose that H2O2, one of the potent oxidants in vivo, can be decomposed continuously in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues in the absence of catalase and peroxidase.

- 1.1. Two morphotypes of Myliobatis from the demersal fishery off the Rio Grande (Brazil) were studied.
- 2.2. Thirty-two alleles were detected and resolved by 27 loci.
- 3.3. Nei's measure of genetic identity was 0.8306 and Thorpe's similarity was 0.6990. Mean heterozygosities observed were 0.1327 for the “DE” morphotype and 0.0409 for the “DL” morphotype.
- 4.4. Seven loci were fixed differently in the two taxa studied. This indicates the existence of a barrier to gene-flow between them, showing that both morphotypes belong to different species.
- 5.5. Jaccard's measure of similarity was calculated and a phenogram with the two morphotypes and M. freminvillii was constructed using isoelectric focusing of total soluble proteins. This showed a higher similarity between the two morphotypes of Myliobatis than M. freminvillii.

- 1.1. In Musca domestica haemolymph a lipid transfer particle (LTP) is present.
- 2.2. Musca domestica LTP is able to catalyze the transfer of lipids between different housefly lipophorin forms and also between lipophorins of Diptera and Lepidoptera.
- 3.3. The lipophorin of larval Dione juno (Lepidoptera) was purified and is composed of two apolipoproteins, apolipophorin I (Mr = 209,000) and apolipophorin II (Mr = 85,000) with a density of 1.124 g/ml.
- 4.4. The density of housefly lipophorin undergoes variations during the gonotrophic cycle.
- 5.5. The lipophorin density variation results suggest that when a high rate of lipid utilization occurs, the lipophorin has a higher density value.

- 1.1. The locust vitellogenin (VTG) receptor which is embedded in oocyte plasma membranes is a glycoprotein.
- 2.2. With various lectins oligosaccharide units have been identified, among them neuraminic acid linked to Gal or GalNAc, mannose chains, Gal linked to GalNAc or GlcNAc and fucose linked to GlcNAc.
- 3.3. With specific enzymes it could be shown that mannose and most other oligosaccharides are O-linked while others like fucose are N-linked.
- 4.4. Enzymatic removal of all O-linked carbohydrates resulted in a drop of the molecular mass of the receptor protein from 200,000 to 110,000.
- 5.5. A total of N- and O-linked oligosaccharides of 54% was calculated.
- 6.6. The isoelectric point of the receptor was found to be at pH 3.4 increasing slightly after removal of neuraminic acid.
- 7.7. Removal of neuraminic acids destroyed the binding ability for VTG.
