13. Single-molecule protein folding: Diffusion fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies of the denaturation of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2
We report single-molecule folding studies of a small, single-domain protein, chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2). CI2 is an excellent model system for protein folding studies and has been extensively studied, both experimentally (at the ensemble level) and theoretically. Conformationally assisted ligation methodology was used to synthesize the proteins and site-s

14. Studies in formulation and pharmacotechnical evaluation of controlled release transdermal delivery system of bupropion
The objective of the present study was to design and evaluate unilaminate transdermal adhesive matrix systems capable of diffusing bupropion base at a constant rate over an extended period of time as an alternative route of administration. Unilaminate transdermal adhesive matrices have been fabricated with different concentrations of Eudragit E as the adhesi

15. Endorhizal and Exorhizal Acetylene-reducing Activity in a Grass (Spartina alterniflora Loisel.)-Diazotroph Association 1
Earlier studies indicated that bacteria responsible for nitrogenase activity of some grasses are located inside the roots. Those studies were conducted with excised roots in which a long, unexplained “lag phase” occurred before initiation of nitrogenase activity. When hydroponically maintained Spartina alterniflora Loisel. was incubated in a two-compartm

16. Blood-borne interleukin-1 alpha is transported across the endothelial blood-spinal cord barrier of mice.
1. Previous work has shown that one mechanism by which blood-borne interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1) may be able to affect the central nervous system (CNS) is by direct transport into the brain across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB of the brain consists of endothelial (between blood and interstitial fluid) and ependymal (between blood and cerebrospinal flui

17. Working underground: Respiratory adaptations in the blind mole rat
Mole rats (Spalax ehrenbergi superspecies) perform the heavy work of digging their subterranean burrows in Israel under highly hypoxic/hypercapnic conditions. Unlike most other mammals, they can achieve high levels of metabolic rate under these conditions, while their metabolic rate at low work rates is depressed. We explored, by comparing mole rats with whi

18. Effect of Weak Acids on Amino Acid Transport by Penicillium chrysogenum: Evidence for a Proton or Charge Gradient as the Driving Force
A variety of weak acids at and below their pKa are potent inhibitors of transport in Penicillium chrysogenum. The effective compounds include sorbate, benzoate, and propionate (common antifungal agents), indoleacetate (a plant hormone), acetylsalicylate (aspirin), hexachlorophene, and a yellow pigment produced by the mycelia under nutrient-deficient conditio

19. Lateral diffusion of small compounds in human stratum corneum and model lipid bilayer systems.
An image-based technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (video-FRAP) was used to measure the lateral diffusion coefficients of a series of nine fluorescent probes in two model lipid bilayer systems, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and DMPC/cholesterol (40 mol%), as well as in human stratum corneum-extracted lipids. The probes were all li

20. Lung structure and function in cigarette smokers.
BACKGROUND--Cigarette smoking produces an inflammatory response in the airways of everyone but only 15-20% of smokers develop airways obstruction. The present study concerns the relative importance of peripheral airways inflammation and the emphysematous destruction of the parenchymal support of the airways in the pathogenesis of this obstruction. METHODS--A

21. Agar Underlay Method for Recovery of Sublethally Heat-Injured Bacteria
A method of recovering sublethally heat-injured bacteria was developed. The procedure (termed the agar underlay method) uses a nonselective agar underlaid with a selective medium. In a two-chambered petri dish, the Lutri plate (LP), a nonselective agar is inoculated with a population of sublethally heat-injured bacteria. After a 2-h repair incubation period,

22. Reserve Mobilization in the Arabidopsis Endosperm Fuels Hypocotyl Elongation in the Dark, Is Independent of Abscisic Acid, and Requires PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYKINASE1
Arabidopsis thaliana is used as a model system to study triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and seed germination in oilseeds. Here, we consider the partitioning of these lipid reserves between embryo and endosperm tissues in the mature seed. The Arabidopsis endosperm accumulates significant quantities of storage lipid, and this is effectively catabolized upon
