Effect of cooling on vascular smooth muscle from the thirteen-lined ground squirrel
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
Peripheral vascular resistance in the ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) increases when the animal enters hibernation. The goals of this study were (1) to determine if a change in vascular reactivity contributes ...
Computer aided analysis for biosensing and screening
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-02-20)
Biosensors with animal and microbial cells immobilized close to the tip of a membrane electrode have been developed for chemical and drug testing. Our experimental results show that biosensors can be used for drug screening ...
A general relation between membrane potential, ion activities, and pump fluxes for nonsymmetric cells in a steady state
(Elsevier, 1981-02)
In a previous paper Jacquez and Schultz [Math. Biosci. 20:19 (1974)] derived a set of relations between the membrane potential, ion activities, ion permeabilities, and mediated ion fluxes which held for steady states of ...
Fermentation monitoring by polymeric-resin-based microbiol assay
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1983-03)
A polymeric-resin-based microbiological assay is shown to yield results consistent with classical inhibition zone theory. This novel assay is applicable to cycloheximide, an antifungal antibiotic, at concentrations below ...
Cell immobilization in k -carrageenan with tricalcium phosphate
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1982-08)
The objectives of this research were to investigate the growth of immobilized yeast cells in k -carrageenan gel and study the effect of trapping hydroxyapatite (tricalcium phosphate) crystals into the matrix. Using k ...
Coupling of concanavalin A to cellulose hollow fibers for use in glucose affinity sensor
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-02)
This article describes a method for the chemical immobilization of concanavalin A (Con A) on the inside wall of a single hollow cellulose fiber for use in glucose affinity sensor. Periodate oxidation of cellulose fiber ...
Biochemical systems theory and metabolic control theory: 2. the role of summation and connectivity relationships
(Elsevier, 1987-10)
Perhaps the major obstacle to recognizing the relatedness of Biochemical Systems Theory (BST) and a subsequently developed approach some have called Metabolic Control Theory (MCT) is the summation and connectivity ...
Computer modeling of antibiotic fermentation with on-line product removal
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-07-20)
The fermentation of Streptomyces griseus for the production of cycloheximide is similar to other antibiotic fermentations in that product synthesis is subject to feedback regulation and the desired product is degraded ...
