Ix. Biologically Active Materials in Soil

Time-resolved fluorescence studies on protoporphyrin IX-apohorseradish peroxidase.

The hemin moiety of horseradish peroxidase (donor:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) was removed and the apoprotein reconstituted with the fluorescent protoporphyrin IX. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence properties of the HRP(desFe) adduct were examined; the multifrequency phase and modulation method was utilized for lifetime and dynamic polarization studies. The emission ...

Studies on beta-lactam antibiotics. IX. Synthesis and biological activity of a new orally active cephalosporin, cefixime (FK027).

The synthesis and some biological properties of 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino) acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (3, FK027) are described. Diphenylmethyl 7-amino-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (8), the cephem precursor to FK027 was prepared from 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) by two parallel routes differing primarily in the protection...

Biochemical Studies on Active Transport

The active transport process, so important in cell function, has been studied in the past with intact cells. Models which have arisen from this work all depend on: first, a specific protein to recognize the substrate; second, translocation of the substrate across the cell membrane; third, release of substrate within the cell and restoration of the system to its initial state. These steps are ad...

The Effect of Plant Growth Regulator and Active Charcoal on the Development of Microtubers of Potatoes

With the detoxicated seedling of a potato cultivation breed named “Mire” as the material, the effect of auxins CCC, 6-BA, and active carbon to microtubers of potato (Solanum tubersum L.) was investigated under the in-vitro circumstances. The result indicated the exogenous auxins improved the production and quality of microtubers of potatoes. The effect of induction can be described as CCC > CCC...
