The effect on the rate of tumor induction of a group of chlor-compounds which reversibly inhibit the glycolyric process of cells has already been described (5, 6). The compounds used were soluble in water and fats, and were nonhydrolyzable under physiological conditions of pH and temperature. The chemical reactivity of their chlorine atoms was the factor which determined the potency of their bi...

The kinetic parameters for inorganic phosphate and inorganic arsenate as substrates for the synthesis of ATP and ADP-arsenate, respectively, by beef heart submitochondrial particles have been determined. The Vm and Km values for arsenate and phosphate, as well as the Km values for ADP in the two reactions, are the same within experimental error of the measurements. These data are consistent wit...

protein recovery under sonication treatment and autolysis, also protein hydrolysis progress during enzymatic hydrolysis (using trypsin and chymotrypsin) and autolysis (using endogenous enzymes) were investigated in saccharomyces cerevisiae and kluyveromyces marxianus. crude protein content of dried yeast cells were 53.22% and 45.6% for s.cerevisiae and k.marxianus, respectively. after 96 hrs of...

The variation of k10bs with [alkali] is linear. at [OH-]=5.0 to 1.5 mol dm-3, thereafter a sharp increase in the reaction rate is observed for first step hydrolysis of urea. The second step rate constant (k2obS)is found to be independent of [alkali].Hydrolysis of urea in alkaline medium follows an eleminationaddition mechanism. The reaction does not proceed through the formation and decompositi...

organophosphorus compounds are known to inhibit the esteratic site of acetylcholinesterase by phosphorylation. the phosphorylated esteratic site of acetylcholinesterase undergoes hydrolytic regeneration at a slow or negligible rate. nucleophilic agents such as hydroxytamine, hydroxamic acids, and oximes reactivate the enzyme more erapidfy than does spontaneous hydrolysis. the red cell cholinest...

Objective: This study was designed to develop and validate a new reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method based on Q2 (R1) International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline for determination of curcumin in pharmaceutical samples. Materials and Methods: The HPLC instrument method was optimized with isocratic elution with acetonitrile: ammonium acetate (45:55...

The response of several Escherichia coli membranous enzymes to hydrolysis of up to 95 % of membrane phospholipid has been investigated. Purified phospholipase C of Bacillus cereus was utilized in these studies. The rate and extent of digestion of E. coli phospholipids was independent of whether the lipid was associated with membrane protein or extracted from membranes and sonically dispersed. P...

pectin is used as gelatinizing agent in food industry. in this study pectin was extracted from five commercial sugar beet varieties namely: doroty, rasul, 7112, br1 and ic using pre-hydrolysis technique. experiments were conducted using factorial design to verify the effect of temperature, time, percentage of hcl and water requirements on the extraction rate of pectin. the qualitative factors o...
