Swnmary. An investigation has been made of the possibility of tutilizing the potential energy of the contracted state of corn mitochondria to drive Ca + inorganic phosphate accumulation. Contraction was obtained with succinate or NADH oxidation. In the succinate experiments the mitochondria were contracted in buffered KCl layered over sucrose in centrifuge tubes and centrifuged down through dis...

Based on the optimal proportion of resin and curing agent, an ultrahigh-temperature inorganic phosphate adhesive was prepared with aluminum dihydric phosphate, aluminium oxide ( α -Al₂O₃), etc. and cured at room temperature (RT). Then, nano-aluminum nitride (nano-AlN), nano-Cupric oxide (nano-CuO), and nano-titanium oxide (nano-TiO₂) were added into the adhesive. Differential scanning calorimet...

Serum inorganic phosphorous was decreased significantly on the third postoperative day following cardiac surgery in 18 patients initially studied. Reduced plasma inorganic phosphate has been shown to cause a reduced concentration of red cell organic phosphates, an important determinant of hemoglobin-oxygen affinity. Therefore, 10 consecutive patients were studied to determine if reduced 2,3-dip...

Hemoglobin Abruzzo is an abnormal human hemoglobin with a substitution at a residue known to be involved in the binding of 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid. It has increased oxygen affinity and reduced heme-heme interaction in the absence of organic or inorganic phosphate cofactors. In inorganic phosphate buffers the Bohr effect and heme-heme interaction are normal, but the oxygen affinity remains hi...

BACKGROUND The health implications of dietary phosphorus intake and the role of kidney function in managing serum phosphorus homeostasis are well studied. However, examining the source of dietary phosphorus intake and its impact on serum phosphorus has not been characterized in population studies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to distinguish the association of food sources of organic phosphorus ...

Isolated mouse liver mitochondria were incubated in two types of P(32)-labelled sucrose-phosphate buffers. The first contained no added ATP or oxidizable substrate. The second contained added ATP. Samples were taken at specified times, up to 60 minutes, and analyses were made of the mitochondrial TCA-soluble inorganic P(32) and the total mitochondrial residue P(31) and P(32). The results of the...

As a result of many requests for a phosphatase method which would use the phenyl phosphate substrate of King and Armstrong (1934), but which would substitute a determination of the liberated inorganic phosphate for that of phenol, we have developed two procedures which are described in this paper. The principal reason for a method in which the final measurement is of inorganic phosphate is that...
