The molybdate-stabilized calf uterine estradiol receptor has been purified to near-homogeneity by a three-step procedure. Initial purification by heparin-Sepharose chromatography provides a concentrated receptor extract in 40% yield with a 5-10-fold increase in purity. The inclusion of molybdate in phosphate-buffered cytosol enhances 9-10 S receptor stability in high salt and allows elution of ...

Rhizobia-legume symbiosis is the most well researched biological nitrogen fixation system. Coating legume seeds with rhizobia is now a recognized practical measure for improving the production of legume corp. However, the efficacy of some commercial rhizobia inoculants cannot be guaranteed in China due to the low rate of live rhizobia in these products. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to ...

Frequent observations have been made of the increased rate of hydrolysis of relatively labile phosphate compounds in acid molybdate solution (e.g. phosphocreatine (I), acetyl phosphate (2), and 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid (3)). A study by Weil-Malherbc and Green (4) indicated that ATP, pyrophosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate, and fructosr B-phosphate were hydrolyzed appreciably in the pH range 3 to 5...

The molybdate-dependent transcriptional regulator (ModE) from Escherichia coli functions as a sensor of molybdate concentration and a regulator for transcription of operons involved in the uptake and utilization of the essential element, molybdenum. We have determined the structure of ModE using multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion. Selenomethionyl and native ModE models are refined to 1. 75 a...

Boiled cytosols prepared from a wide variety of sources contain a low Mr factor that inhibits glucocorticoid receptor transformation to the DNA-binding state (Leach, K.L., Grippo, J.F., Housley, P.R., Dahmer, M.K., Salive, M.E., and Pratt, W.B. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 381-388). In this work, we show that this endogenous factor, which is partially purified from rat liver, produces all of the ...

An indirect method for the determination of silicon in blood samples has been developed. The proposed method overcame interference from a large amount of salts and phosphate in blood samples, and enabled us to determine the silicon contents in serum and whole blood by the same operation. After blood samples were digested by microwave heating, silicon, present as silicate in the sample solution,...

Metal molybdate-doped aluminium phosphate heterostructures have been prepared by a solid solution method and found to be photoluminescence, semiconducting properties effective catalysts for the photoreduction of o -nitroaniline p -nitroaniline.

A new spray reagent with copper, ammonium molybdate, and sulphuric acid for the detection of phospholipids on thin-layer chromatograms is described. The specificity and sensitivity of the spray reagent is also shown.
