Molar Absorptivities of fl-NADH and fl-NADPH

چکیده
Re-investigating the accuracy of the commonly used values for molar absorptivities ( ) of f3-NADH and fiNADPH at Hg 334, Hg 365, or 340 nm, we obtained the following results: The maximum of absorbance of NADH is shifted from about 340 nm at 0 #{176}C to about 338.5 nm at 38 #{176}C; the corresponding maxima of NADPH are located at about 0.5-nm longer wavelengths. In addition, the absorption curves of both coenzymes broaden with increasing temperature. For these reasons, the -values of NADH and NADPH are generally different from each other, and are temperature-dependent. Only at 334 nm are they almost identical and nearly independent of temperature. Therefore this wavelength is recommended for precise measurements. The E-values of these coenzymes are influenced by ionic strength and pH. To determine the absolute values of the molar absorptivities, we performed the glutamate dehydrogenase or lactate dehydrogenase assay with carefully purified 2-oxoglutaric acid or pyruvic acid in the presence of excess coenzyme. The purity of the substrates was checked through difterential scanning calorimetry, moisture analysis, gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The f-values observed under the various conditions are about 1-7% higher than those currently used.

When the extracellular concentration of glucose was raised from 3 mm to 7 mm (the concentration interval in which fl-cell depolarization and the major decrease in K+ permeability occur), the cytosolic free [NADPH]/ [NADP+] ratio in mouse pancreatic islets increased by 29.5% . When glucose was increased to 20 mm, a 117% increase was observed. Glucose had no effect on the cytosolic free [NADH]/[N...

Language Learning Strategy Use and Prediction of Foreign Language Proficiency Among Iranian EFL Learners
The purpose of this study was twofold. Firstly, it attempted to investigate whether language learning strategies (LLSs) can predict foreign language (FL) proficiency. Secondly, it examined what kind of LLSs Iranian learners of English use more frequently in FL institutes. To do so, 112 intermediate Iranian EFL learners participated in the study.

1. The biopotencies relative to a-carotene of several apocarotenoids, such as 8'-, 10'and 12'-apo-fl-carotenal and methyl 8'-apo-fl-carotenoate, were investigated in rats, on a molar basis, by both curative-growth assay and liver-storage tests. 2. In the curative-growth assays, on a molar basis the biopotencies of 8'-, 10'and 12'-apo-fl-carotenal and methyl 8'-apo-fl-carotenoate were 72, 78, 72...
