Genetico-Biochemical Studies of Alloalbuminemia, I

Hemoglobin Yakina. I. Clinical and biochemical studies.

Three members of a family who have erythrocytosis and a new hemoglobin, designated hemoglobin Yakima, are described. The abnormal hemoglobin is characterized by the substitution of histidine for aspartic acid at residue 99 in the beta-chain. Of three possible structure-function relations which would account for the increased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Yakima, only two seem likely. These are:...

Biochemical Studies of the Site-Specific I-Ppol Endonuclease

Studies on the Listerella Group: I. Biochemical and Hemolytic Reactions.

Although the organisms now known as Listerella were first reported as a new species by Murray, Webb and Schwann (1926), and were given the genus name by Pirie (1927), earlier reports contain descriptions which indicate that the organisms were seen prior to 1926. Atkinson (1917) noted a gram-positive diphtheroid organism in five human cases of what was thought to be epidemic cerebrospinal mening...

Albumin Warao: new type of human alloalbuminemia.

H UMAN ALLOALBUMINEMIA-to use the term coined by Blumberg et al.1-is characterized by the presence of types of albumin that electrophoretically migrate faster or slower than common albumin. The nomenclature used by the two most active groups in this field and the relative migration of the albumin variants are shown in Figure 1. The possible association of these variants with clinical or biochem...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
