A high affinity nucleotide-sensitive complex of catecholamines with the /?-adrenergic receptor of turkey and frog erythrocyte membranes has been demonstrated by both adenylate cyclase and radioligandbinding experiments. This complex appears to serve as an intermediate which facilitates the activation of adenylate cyclase by regulatory guanine nucleotides. Turkey or frog erythrocyte membranes we...

Background:The natural radioactivity levels in soil samples of Karadağ Mountain in central Anatolia region have been determined. Materials and Methods: Analyses on the collected samples were performed to determine gross alpha and beta radioactivity concentrations by using a gas-flow proportional counter and the concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K by using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Res...
