Purification and biochemical characterization of three major acidic proteins (BSP-A1, BSP-A2 and BSP-A3) from bovine seminal plasma

Purification and biochemical characterization of three major acidic proteins (BSP-A1, BSP-A2 and BSP-A3) from bovine seminal plasma.

Three major acidic proteins of bovine seminal plasma, BSP-A1, BSP-A2 and BSP-A3, were purified to homogeneity, by employing fast protein liquid chromatography, gel filtration and h.p.l.c. The proteins were purified on the basis of their stimulatory effect on the basal release of gonadotropins by rat anterior-pituitary cells in culture. All three proteins migrated as distinct single bands in the...

Bsp Programming 1. the Bsp Model

The Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model provides a uni-ed framework for the design and programming of general purpose parallel computing systems. In this paper we describe some programming language developments which are currently being pursued as part of this new, uniied approach to scalable parallel computing. A parallel random access machine (PRAM) 4] consists of a collection of processors...

Complete amino acid sequence of BSP-A3 from bovine seminal plasma. Homology to PDC-109 and to the collagen-binding domain of fibronectin.

Bovine seminal plasma was shown to contain three similar proteins, called BSP-A1, BSP-A2 and BSP-A3. Both BSP-A1 and BSP-A2 were shown to be molecular variants of a recently characterized peptide called PDC-109. They seem to differ only in their degree of glycosylation and otherwise seem to possess an identical amino acid composition. The work in the present paper deals with the complete charac...

BSP vs

A quantitative comparison of the BSP and LogP models of parallel computation is developed. We concentrate on a variant of LogP that disallows the so-called stalling behavior, although issues surrounding the stalling phenomenon are also explored. Very eecient cross simulations between the two models are derived, showing their substantial equivalence for algorithmic design guided by asymptotic an...
