The bioavailability of lead in kidney is mediated in part by binding to endogenous high-affinity cytosolic lead-binding proteins (PbBP), which are not detectable in liver. Addition of semipurified 11,500 dalton PbBP to liver delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) reaction mixtures reverses inhibition of this enzyme by lead and thus provides an explanation for the relative insensitivity of...

terials, operated in a pressure-driven mode, plotted as a function of inverse temperature. This Rgure is intended to give some appreciation of the Suxes that are attainable; however, they are not normalized to a given partial pressure gradient or thickness of membrane, and thus the Suxes are not directly comparable. Taking a value of between 10 and 100 L m 2 min 1 as the level of oxygen Sux nee...

fatty acids play important roles in biological systems and the newborns fatty acids requirements are covered only by the milk. it is of particular interest to qualify the content of the fatty acids in the milk. this study was performed to determine the levels of some fatty acids in the infant formulas and also to describe a method without derivatization for the fatty acids analysis and applying...

BACKGROUND AND SCOPE In eukaryotes, chromatin remodelling complexes are shown to be responsible for nucleosome mobility, leading to increased accessibility of DNA for DNA binding proteins. Although the existence of such complexes in plants has been surmised mainly at the genetic level from bioinformatics studies and analysis of mutants, the biochemical existence of such complexes has remained u...

In an effort to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paint solvents, replacements containing non-VOC compounds have been proposed. One such compound is 4-chlorobenzotrifluoride (CBTF), for which environmental fate studies have not been conducted. The objective of the present study was to determine the products of the atmospheric oxidation of CBTF and the aqueous fate of these products. S...

an enhanced displacement feedback structural control procedure is presented for performance-based design in this paper. at first, a comparative study is implemented assessing three most common active control algorithms including state, acceleration, and displacement feedback controls. the advantage of the displacement feedback algorithm for active control of structures against earthquakes is de...

UNLABELLED We believed open reduction with internal fixation is required for supination-external rotation ankle fractures located at the level of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (Lauge-Hanssen SER II and Weber B) with 2 mm or more fibular fracture displacement. The rationale for surgery for these ankle fractures is based on the notion of elevated intraarticular contact pressures with latera...
