Genetic Studies of Collagen Types Xv and Xviii

Overlapping genomic clones coding for the α1 chain of mouse type XV collagen (Col15a1) were isolated. The gene was found to be 110 kb in length and to contain 40 exons. Analysis of the proximal 5'-flanking region showed properties characteristic of a housekeeping gene promoter, and functional analysis identified cis-acting elements for both positive and negative regulation of Col15a1 gene expre...

Chemistry of bleomycin. XVIII. carbon-13 NMR studies.

During chemical studies of bleomycin, many fragments and derivatives have been isolated and characterized. The 13C-NMR spectra of these compounds were taken and analyzed for structural information, and the complete assignment of the spectra was achieved. The 13C-chemical shift map thus obtained contains information about the structure and conformation and will be useful for studies on the chemi...

Chemical biology studies on norrisolide.

The cellular activity of norrisolide (7), a novel Golgi-vesiculating agent, was dissected as function of its chemical structure. This natural product induces irreversible vesiculation of the Golgi membranes and blocks protein transport at the level of the Golgi. The Golgi localization and fragmentation effects of 7 depend on the presence of the perhydroindane core, while the irreversibility of ...

Chemical Studies on Sludge Digestion

Chemical Studies on Bacterial Agglutination

1. A method, conforming to the criteria of quantitative analytical chemistry, is described for the estimation of the agglutinin content of antisera. Examples are given of the application of the method to various antipneumococcus sera. 2. This new, absolute method is discussed with regard to its relation to the commonly used relative methods.
