Incorporation of plasma-bound iron into ferritin of liver and spleen of the rat is a dynamic process which accounts for 10% of the iron which normally leaves the plasma. It involves the reaction of adenosine triphosphate and ascorbic acid with iron bound to a &globulin of the plasma, transferrin, and leads to the transfer of this iron to ferritin. Evidence for this mechanism has been obtained f...

Introduction to Biological Chemistry

H A P T E R O U T L IN E 1. Learn about the basic chemistry related to atoms and molecules. Understand the roles of orbitals and lone-pair electrons in a few common atoms (e.g., N, F, C, O) and comprehend nucleophilic/electrophilic attacks and their impact on oxidation, reduction, addition, and substitution reactions. 2. List and explain the importance of medicinal functional groups that common...

Recently, two new amino acids have been isolated from hydrolysates of bovine ligamenturn nuchae elastin by Partridge, Elsden, and Thomas (1). Further studies from the same laboratory (2) have shown the compounds to be structural isomers composed of a pyridinium ring with four side chains located at positions 1, 3, 4, and 5 (desmosine), as depicted in Fig. 1, or at positions 1, 2, 3, and 5 (isod...
