The utility of a cationic polymer polyethylenimines (PEI) for coating some commercially available silica-based stationary phases packed in capillaries of 0.32 mm i.d. and 10 cm long was studied for the separation and direct UV detection of inorganic anions (iodate, bromate, nitrite, bromide, and nitrate ions). With a super-endcapped octadecylated silica stationary phase, which yielded the best...

Since the enactment of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976, the U.S. fishing industry has intensified its interest in Pacific whiting, Merluccius productus, as an additional food resource. In some fishing areas, Pacific whiting is infected with a protozoan parasite, Myxosporidia kudoa, which produces a proteolytic enzyme that degrades the textural quality of muscle as it is proc...

Chinese hamster ovary cell lines (AA8 and AS52) were stably transfected to overexpress hOgg1 protein, the human DNA repair glycosylase for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). In the transfectants, the repair rate of 8-oxoG residues induced by either potassium bromate or the photosensitizer [R]-1-[(10-chloro-4-oxo-3-phenyl-4H-benzo[a]quinolizin-1-yl)-carbo nyl ]-2-pyrrolidinemethanolplus light wa...
