There is not much information about the vitamin D content of fodders and hay. Most of it is from the United States and, more recently, Holland. Keener (1954) and Weits (1956) have summarized the available information. No such assessments apparently having been made in this country, an opportunity was taken to make a systematic study of the vitamin D activity of Scottish hill pastures. Monthly s...

Structural studies on the interactions between antigens and antibodies are absolutely necessary and beneficial due to the understanding the principles that influence the interactions. In this work, we modeled 3D structure of specific neutralizing single chain variable fragment (scFv) recombinant antibody against glycoprotein-D (gD) of Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1), using Modeller 9.11. To get ...

The surface layer glycoprotein of Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus DSM 10155 has a total carbohydrate content of 15% (by mass), consisting of O-linked oligosaccharide chains. After proteolytic digestion of the S-layer glycoprotein byPronase E and subsequent purification of the digestion products by gel permeation chromatography, chromatofocusing and high-performance liquid chromatography two g...

I . In two experiments with chicks given diets of different manganese content, the effects of vitamin D on the Mn contents of bone and liver and on the retention of 54Mn in bone, liver and the whole body were determined. 2. Vitamin D slightly increased the Mn content of dry fat-free bone but the proportion of Mn to ash remained unchanged and the Mn content of bone was influenced much more by th...

In soybean seed coats the accumulation of the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein extensin is regulated in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The time course of appearance of extensin during seed development was studied by Western blot analysis and by immunogold-silver localization. Using these techniques extensin was first detected at 16-18 d after anthesis, increasing during development...
