Characterization of photodamage to Escherichia coli in optical traps.
Optical tweezers (infrared laser-based optical traps) have emerged as a powerful tool in molecular and cell biology. However, their usefulness has been limited, particularly in vivo, by the potential for damage to specimens resulting from the trapping laser. Relatively little is known about the origin of this phenomenon. Here we employed a wavelength-tunable optical trap in which the microscope...
متن کاملStudies on the Lactase of Escherichia Coli
A "lactase solution" was prepared from Escherichia coli. The mechanism of its action has been studied and changes in the rate of hydrolysis under various conditions investigated. The hydrolysis of lactose by the enzyme approximates the course of reaction of the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation. One molecule of enzyme combines with one molecule of substrate. E. coli lactase is readily inacti...
متن کاملStudies on genetically altered transfer RNA species in Escherichia coli.
The study of tRNA molecules altered by a mutational event can lead to information in 3 important areas: (a) structure-function relationships in tRNA biochemistry; (ft) the genetics of tRNA; and (c) the physiological role of tRNA-isoaccepting species. For example, the elucidation of the structural alteration in a mutant tRNA species which reacts appreciably more slowly than normal tRNA in the en...
متن کاملStudies on resistance transfer factor deoxyribonucleic acid in Escherichia coli.
A variant of the derepressed R factor, R1, which does not contain any of the drug resistance markers, and represents, in large part, the resistance transfer factor (RTF) was studied in Escherichia coli. RTF deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was specifically labeled in a female cell after conjugation. Physical characterization of the molecule showed that RTF possessed an average molecular weight of 50...
متن کاملStudies on the Lactose Transport System in Escherichia coli
I should like to discuss very briefly the current status of studies in our laboratory of the membrane protein component of the lactose transport system of Escherichia coll. Previous publications (I, 2) have presented evidence that this protein, which can be selectively labeled with radioactive N-ethylmaleimide, is the product of the y gene of the lac operon, the long-sought permease protein. Th...
