The Pasteur Institute (1887- )

L'Institut Pasteur (The Pasteur Institute) is a non-profit private research institution founded by Louis Pasteur on 4 June 1887 in Paris, France. The Institute's research focuses on the study of infectious diseases, micro-organisms, viruses, and vaccines. As of 2014, ten scientists have received Nobel Prizes in physiology or medicine for the research they have done at the Pasteur Institute. Con...

detail, a valuable contribution and a positive demonstration of his "philology and erudition". The images receive, by comparison, cursory treatment. It is only after repeated perusals that the reader grasps how simple the material really is, basically three male-female pairs dateable to 1539 and their derivatives: the De Negker-Vogtherr set from Strasbourg; the Sabio set from Venice; and the Go...

Translating Pasteur to the Maghreb.

More than 125 years after its foundation (*), the Pasteur Institute is still one of the world’s largest, best known and most powerful biomedical research institutions. The original motherhouse was founded by Louis Pasteur in 1888 thanks to the funds and facilities generously provided by the Paris municipality and the French state and also to the donations of voluntary contributors from France a...

Reaction of glutathione with conjugated carbonyls.

1. GSH reacts with conjugated carbonyls according to the equation: GSH+R-CH=CH-COR in equilibrium R-CH(SG)-CH2-COR. The forward reaction follows second order, the reverse reaction first order kinetics. It is assumed that this reaction reflects best the ability of conjugated carbonyls to inactivate SH groups in biological systems. 2. The rate of forward reaction increases with pH approx. paralle...
