ently of centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Figure 3‐2: In young neurons, microtubules grow from a focal point, while in mature neurons EB3 comets emerge all over the cell body.. Figure 3‐3: The centrosome loses its function as a microtubule organizing center (MTOC) during Figure 3‐4: The pericentriolar material (PCM) proteins γ‐tubulin and pericentrin are depleted from the neuronal centrosome...

Studies on Bacteriophage and Metabolic Identification of Brucella Strains

Studies on Photosynthetic Processes

Wave length dependency of photosynthesis in intact tissues has been examined frequently in studies of the photosynthetic mechanism. In most such studies, oxygen production was determined as a function of wave length, or difference spectra were observed in efforts to elucidate this process. With the demonstration of light-induced adenosine triphosphate synthesis associated with reduced triphosph...

Metabolic network modularity arising from simple growth processes.

Metabolic networks consist of linked functional components, or modules. The mechanism underlying metabolic network modularity is of great interest not only to researchers of basic science but also to those in fields of engineering. Previous studies have suggested a theoretical model, which proposes that a change in the evolutionary goal (system-specific purpose) increases network modularity, an...

Metabolic studies on 6-methylaminopurine.

and in mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumor has been investigated. The results indicate that the exogenous compound is utilized equally well for the synthesis of both adenine and guanine of deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. No evidence for the incor poration of intact 6-methylaminopurine into the nucleic acids of liver, kidney, spleen, intestine, or tumor cells was obtained. The princip...
