Micro method for determination of borohydride with NAD+
(Elsevier, 1973-08)
A spectrophotometric method for the determination of borohydride is described. It involves the reduction of NAD+ to a number of isomeric forms of NADH by borohydride. In the standard assay procedure herewith presented, ...
A dual function activity-dependent, muscle-specific enhancer from rat nicotinic acetylcholine receptor δ-subunit gene
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-11)
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) mediate communication between nerve and muscle. The expression of these receptors increases dramatically during muscle development when myoblasts are fusing into multinucleated ...
cDNA and derived amino acid sequence of rabbit nasal cytochrome P450NMb (P450IIG1), a unique isozyme possibly involved in olfaction
(Elsevier, 1991-02-15)
Olfactory-specific cytochrome P450NMb was previously purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from microsomes of rabbit nasal mucosa in this laboratory. In the present study, a cDNA library made from poly(A)+ RNA from rabbit ...
Immunochemical studies on the binding specificity of the blood group Leb specific lectin Griffonia simplicifolia IV
(Elsevier, 1983-05)
The specificity of the Griffonia simplicifolia IV (GS-IV) lectin was studied by quantitative precipitin and quantitative precipitin inhibition assays. The lectin precipitated most strongly with a human H,Leb blood group ...
Histological localization of binding sites of [alpha]-bungarotoxin and of antibodies specific to acetylcholine receptor in goldfish optic nerve and tectum
(Elsevier, 1980-07-21)
Goldfish optic nerve as well as ganglion cell neurites grown in culture selectively bind rhodamine-labeled [alpha]-bungarotoxin following tissue fixation. Binding is competed for by unlabeled bungarotoxin, by carbamylcholine ...
A sequential double-label autoradiographic method that quantifies altered rates of regional glucose metabolism
(Elsevier, 1985-12-30)
An autoradiographic sequential double-label variant of the deoxyglucose method for measurement of local glucose utilization has been developed. This technique takes advantage of the short half-life of the positron emitter, ...
Ornithine decarboxylase activity in retinal explants of goldfish undergoing optic nerve regeneration
(Elsevier, 1981-06)
Retinal explants cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS) exhibit an increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase which is maximal several hours after explanation. The measured activity of this enzyme is ...
A game to help students comprehend enzyme structure and mechanism of action
(Elsevier, 1976-01)
Griffonia simplicifolia I lectin mediates macrophage-induced cytotoxicity against Ehrlich ascites tumor
(Elsevier, 1982-07-15)
The concurrent administration of Griffonia simplicifolia lectin into the peritoneal cavity of mice has been reported to protect them from challenge with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. This study demonstrates that the GS I ...
A structural comparison of the A and B subunits of Griffonia simplicifolia I isolectins
(Elsevier, 1984-02-15)
A structural comparison between the A and B subunits of the five tetrameric Griffonia simplicifolia I isolectins (A4, A3B, A2B2, AB3, B4) was undertaken to determine the extent of homology between the subunits. The first ...
