The specific radioactivity of [3H]Leu in the extracellular, intracellular, and Leu-tRNA pools of normal (white leghorn) and dystrophic (line 307) embryonic chick breast muscle cultures was analyzed as a function of equilibration time and extracellular Leu concentration (0.05-5 mM). The primary results were the following 1) [3H]Leu equilibrated to a constant specific radioactivity in the intrace...

In article number 2010916, Srikanth Pedireddy, Pascal E. Saikaly, and co-workers report a facile synthesis strategy of single-atom catalysts (SACs) at room temperature by harnessing the extracellular electron transfer capability Geobacter sulfurreducens. This can be successfully extended for various transition metal SACs merely altering precursors. Without further heat treatment, dried exhibit ...

conclusions in this study, we isolated b. licheniformis producing an organic solvent-stable protease from oil-contaminated soil. the protease was stable and active in various organic solvents. by purification, the protease could be used as a biocatalyst for organic solvent-based enzymatic synthesis. results according to 16srdna sequencing, strain isa9 was identified as a new strain of bacillus ...

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana GK2016 grown in a liquid medium incorporating gelatin as the sole carbon and nitrogen source produced an extracellular serine protease (molecular weight, 35,000; pI ca. 10). Without gelatin, B. bassiana could utilize N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc; 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen, and GlcNAc availability inc...

We found that roxatidine stimulates mucus secretion and synthesis by cultured rabbit gastric mucosal cells. In this study, we examined the roles of the extracellular Ca++ and calmodulin in these effects of roxatidine. Reduction of the extracellular Ca++ concentration decreased the roxatidine-induced increases in mucus secretion and synthesis by gastric mucosal cells. Roxatidine concentration-de...

Previous studies had shown that sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver sulphadiazine (AgSD) stimulated the production of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 in certain strains (responder strains) of Staphylococcus aureus and that protease production was also affected. No changes were detected in other strains (non-responders). Extracellular proteins from eleven responder and non-responder strains gro...
