Two new yellow pigments, germitosone and methylgermitorosone, were isolated from the seedling of Cassia torosa. The structures of these substances were established as 3,7 dimethyl - 6 - methoxy - 1 - oxo - 2,3,8,9 - tetrahydroxy - 1,2,3,4 - tetrahydroanthracene and 6,9 dimethoxy - 3,7 - dimethyl - 1 - oxo - 2,3,8 - trihydroxy - 1,2,3,4 - tetrahydroanthracene respectively. 相似文献
Microvascular replantation at the distal phalangeal level has recently been reported by several authors, but as yet the rate of success has not been constant owing to the technical difficulties associated with small vessels. To solve this problem, over the last 4 years we have used arteriovenous anastomosis to reestablish either the arterial system or the venous drainage system in the 33 digits of our 23 patients. The results have been excellent, with a 91 percent success rate. Such results for replantation of the distal phalanx may be maintained and improved if a small venous graft with several branches is also utilized. 相似文献
N-Acyl-D-glutamate amidohydrolase from Pseudomonas sp. strain 5f-1 was inducibly produced by D isomers of N-acetylglutamate, glutamate, aspartate, and asparagine. The enzyme has been purified to homogeneity by DEAE-cellulose, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, and chromatofocusing followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The enzyme was a monomer with molecular weight of 55,000. The enzyme activity was optimal at pH 6.5 to 7.5 and 45 degrees C. The isoelectric point and the pH stability were 8.8 and 9.0, respectively. N-Formyl, N-acetyl, N-butyryl, N-propionyl, N-chloroacetyl derivatives of D-glutamate and glycyl-D-glutamate were substrates for the enzyme. At pH 6.5 in 100 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer at 30 degrees C, a Km of 6.67 mM and a Vmax of 662 mumol/min/mg of protein for N-acetyl-D-glutamate were obtained. None of the metal ions stimulated the enzyme activity. Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ba2+ acted as stabilizers. Hg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, and EDTA were strongly inhibitory. 相似文献
Scanning electron-microscopy (SEM) revealed that, for starch granules relatively susceptible to amylase, numerous pin holes could be observed on the surfaces of granules attacked by amylase. We also observed that the pores penetrated into the inner layers of granules during the enzyme action and some of the granules exhibited a terraced or step-shaped apperance in their inner portions. These internal characteristics are most probably indicative of layered internal structures of the granules. The other characteristic observations by SEM were striated structures on the surfaces of starch granules of banana, lily, and lotus attacked by pancreatin. 相似文献
cis-3-Amino-l-proline, identified once as a nonprotein amino acid from the fruiting bodies of Morchella esculenta Fr., was isolated also from the growth medium and cultured mycelia of the same fungus. 相似文献
Pyridinoline is an amino acid isolated from collagen and probably serves as a crosslink in collagen fiber. This compound was isolated on a large scale from bovine bone and investigated by 1H-nmr and 13C-nmr spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and chemical degradation. The structure is proposed on the basis of these data. 相似文献
Mixotrophy (MX, also called partial mycoheterotrophy) in plants is characterized by isotopic abundances that differ from those of autotrophs. Previous studies have evaluated mycoheterotrophy in MX plants associated with fungi of similar ecological characteristics, but little is known about the differences in the relative abundances of 13C and 15N in an orchid species that associates with several different mycobionts species. Since the chlorophyllous orchid Cremastra variabilis Nakai associates with various fungi with different ecologies, we hypothesized that it may change its relative abundances of 13C and 15N depending on the associated mycobionts. We investigated mycobiont diversity in the chlorophyllous orchid C. variabilis together with the relative abundance of 13C and 15N and morphological underground differentiation (presence or absence of a mycorhizome with fungal colonization). Rhizoctonias (Tulasnellaceae, Ceratobasidiaceae, Sebacinales) were detected as the main mycobionts. High differences in δ13C values (– 34.7? to?– 27.4 ‰) among individuals were found, in which the individuals associated with specific Psathyrellaceae showed significantly high relative abundance of 13C. In addition, Psathyrellaceae fungi were always detected on individuals with mycorhizomes. In the present study, MX orchid association with non-rhizoctonia saprobic fungi was confirmed, and the influence of mycobionts on morphological development and on relative abundance of 13C and 15N was discovered. Cremastra variabilis may increase opportunities to gain nutrients from diverse partners, in a bet-hedging plasticity that allows colonization of various environmental conditions.
Abstract This paper describes general methods for the synthesis of N-phosphorylated ribonucleosides and oligonucleotides containing a 2′-O-phosphorylated or 2′-O-thiophosphorylated ribonucleoside. The NMR-based conformational analysis and computational molecular dynamics simulation of the 2′-O-phosphorylated ribonucleoside residue in such modified oligonucleotides suggested that the ribose residue existed preferentially in a C2′-endo conformation. It was also found that simple heating of 2′-O-phosphorylated oligonucleotides resulted in rapid dethiophosphorylation. 相似文献
