Laminarabiose, cellobiose, and gentiobiose were acetonated with 2,2-dimethoxy-propane under various conditions. Two isopropylidene acetals in which the reducing D-glucose residue had the furanoid form were obtained from laminarabiose, and two, in which the reducing D-glucose residue formed the acyclic dimethyl acetal, from cellobiose. Gentiobiose gave both types of isopropylidene compound. 相似文献
A ribitol-containing lipoteichoic acid was obtained from the 20,000 x g supernatant fraction of Staphylococcus aureus H by extraction with Triton X-100 followed by fractionation on Sepharose 6B and DEAE-cellulose columns. The purified lipoteichoic acid was composed of phosphate, glycerol, glucose, glucosamine, ribitol, and fatty acids in a molar ratio of 1 : 0.9 : 0.06 : 0.03 : 0.09 : 0.07. Based on the structural analysis of fragments from alkali and HF hydrolysis, the lipoteichoic acid appears to consist of three moieties, namely a ribitol phosphate oligomer, poly(glycerol phosphate) which has about 30 glycerol phosphate units, and beta-glucosyl-beta-glucosyl(1 leads to 1)diacylglycerol. N-Acetylglucosamine was linked to the ribitol residues. The lipoteichoic acid serves as an acceptor of glycosyl moieties from UDP-glucose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine in the enzyme reaction catalyzed by the membrane preparation. The rate of enzymatic glycosylation was increased by prior treatment of the lipoteichoic acid with N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase. The glycosylation seems to occur at the ribitol residues of the lipoteichoic acid. 相似文献
A synaptosomal plasma membrane fraction and its junctional and nonjunctional subfractions were isolated and analyzed for glycoprotein galactosyltransferase activity. The nonjunctional components fraction had the highest specific activity in the presence of exogenous acceptor, suggesting an enrichment of enzyme in this fraction. The synaptic junctional complex fraction had the highest specific activity in the absence of added acceptor, suggesting that there is a relative enrichment of endogenous acceptors for this galactosyltransferase within the synaptic junctional complex.Presented in part at the 6th meeting of the Society of Neuroscience, Toronto, Ontario, November, 1976 (Goodrum, Bosmann, and Tanaka, 1976) 相似文献
A membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase was solubilized from rat liver microsomes and purified about 150-fold by chromatography on ω-aminohexyl- and 5′-AMP-Sepharose columns with a recovery of about 40%. The purified enzyme was homogeneous upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its monomeric molecular weight was estimated to be 51,000. In aqueous solution, it existed as large, polymeric aggregates. Its activity towards straight-chain aliphatic aldehydes increased as their carbon chain length was increased at least up to dodecanal, whereas aldehyde dehydrogenase in the cytosolic fraction of rat liver was most active with hexanal as substrate. 相似文献
DCMU (N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N, N-dimethylurea) was testedfor effects on the metabolism of galactolipids in Chlorellaand chloroplasts isolated from higher plants. In Chlorella,DCMU affected galactolipid synthesis in the light more thanthat of other lipids, but it showed no effect on lipid synthesisin the dark. DCMU did not affect the turnover of galactolipidsin the light. In vitro studies using 14C-acetate or 14C-UDP-galactoseas a precursor showed that DCMU had no effect on the synthesisof gross lipid or galactolipids in chloroplasts isolated fromhigher plants. The significance of these observations are discussed. (Received September 21, 1974; ) 相似文献

3. 3. The attitude of workers was investigated by a questionnaire.
4. 4. As the result, average luminance represented more than 1000 lx in the new building, in contrast with less tha 300 lx in the existing building.
5. 5. There was a significant difference of the occupants' response to the light environment between the two buildings.
6. 6. Measured thermal conditions are on the edge of the ASHRAE comfort envelope in summer, and in the neighborhood of the lower dry limit of the envelope in spring.
7. 7. The occupants' evaluations were remarkably changed before and after the moving. The office environment is better than that of the factory.
The egg white was treated under various whipping conditions, and its foaminess measured. At the same time, the amounts of the coagulated proteins formed from each egg white and their constituent hexose were measured. From these results, discussions were made about the relation between the foaminess of the egg white and the amount of the coagulated proteins under various whipping conditions. 相似文献
Intrinsic viscosity, Stokes radius and the hydrophobic coefficient of Keshavarz and Nakai [Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 576, 269 (1979)] were measured to compare the shape and surface hydrophobicity of ovalbumin and s-ovalbumin. Both the intrinsic viscosity and Stokes radius of s- ovalbumin were smaller than those of ovalbumin, which suggests that the configuration of s- ovalbumin became more compact during the ovalbumin-s-ovalbumin transformation. The hydrophobic coefficient of s-ovalbumin was larger than that of ovalbumin, which suggests that the surface hydrophobicity of s-ovalbumin was larger than that of ovalbumin. Further, these properties were measured for ovalbumin samples obtained at various stages of ovalbumin-s-ovalbumin transformation. Changes in the shape and surface hydrophobicity of ovalbumin were not found in the first stage of ovalbumin-s-ovalbumin transformation. They changed rapidly in the last stage of the ovalbumin-s-ovalbumin transformation. 相似文献
