A procedure has been developed for the quantitative determination of the extraetable proteins of the nit heart. Utilizing extraction with a sucrose-versene solution and employing differential centrifugation, followed by extraction with a phosphate-pyrophosphate buffer, low-ionic-strength extractives, a mitochondrial fraction, and high-ionic-strength extractives have been obtained. Electrophoret...

Oleate flotation characteristics of hematite have been investigated in thjs study under a wide range of experimental conditions of pH, temperature, ionic strength and collector concentration. The study revealed the following major features of this system which include: (a) a maximum in floatability in the neutral pH range; (b) an increase in the flotation response of hematite with increase eith...

It is known since the early days of molecular biology that proteins locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski 3D diffusion rate. It was the idea due to Delbrück that they are non-specifically adsorbed on DNA, and sliding along DNA provides for the faster 1D search. Surprisingly, the role of DNA conformation was never considered in this conte...

The effect of ionic strength and pH of carrier solutions on the separation of liposomes by flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF) has been studied for the determination of accurate vesicle size distribution of liposomes. Retention behaviors of liposomes (PC/PG/cholesterol) are observed in typical buffer solutions (PBS and Tris-HCl) of various ionic strengths as carrier liquids in flow FFF. Th...

The observation that “old” water dominates storm runoff suggests that release of low-solute water from soils rather than rainwater must cause storm runoff dilution. This inference is supported by sprinkling experiments in an 860-m catchment in the Oregon Coast Range, in which .200 mm of both high and low ionic strength precipitation produced similar concentration-discharge trends. Rainwater che...

The kinetics of Mn(VII) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of Mn(II) as catalyst. The reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to Mn(VII). The results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [H2SO4], [(Mn)II], and [lysine]. The dependence ofthe...
