In depth interaction studies between calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (CT-DNA) and a series of four structurally relative palladium(II) complexes [Pd(en)(HB)](NO3)2 (a-d), where en is ethylenediamine and heterocyclic base (HB) is 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, a); 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, b); dipyridoquinoxaline (dpq, c) and dipyridophenazine (dppz, d) (Figure 1), were performed. These studies have b...

The Pacific razor clam, Siliqua patula, is known to retain domoic acid, a water-soluble glutamate receptor agonist produced by diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. The mechanism by which razor clams tolerate high levels of the toxin, domoic acid, in their tissues while still retaining normal nerve function is unknown. In our study, a domoic acid binding site was solubilized from razor clam si...

The receptor binding and cellular growth responses to exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) were studied using the DiFi cell line established from a familial adenomatous polyposis patient. The number of cell membrane EGF receptors on DiFi cells, as measured by competitive radioligand binding assays and Scatchard analysis of 125I-EGF binding isotherms, was calculated to be 4.8 x 10(6) receptor...

In this study, aniline-formaldehyde polymer was synthesized and then modified with extra aniline as cross-linker in the presence and absence of Ni(II) as the template to produce Ion Imprinted Poly(Aniline-Formaldehyde) (IIPAF) and Non Imprinted Poly(Aniline-Formaldehyde)(NIPAF) The IIPAF was subjected to adsorption, preconcentration and determination of Ni(II) ion in envir...

Estrogen receptor determinations have been performed on 241 cytosols from 160 breast cancer tumors using both radioactive ligands ([3H])-estradiol, [3H]R2858) and monoclonal antibodies (Abbott ER-EIA Kit) in order to compare the two methods and to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the new immunological, simplified assay. Intra- and interassay reproducibility of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) me...

EGF receptor internalization, recycling,a nd downregulation were evaluated in liver parenchyma as a function of increasing doses of injected EGF. The effect of ligand occupancy in vivo on the kinetics and extent of internalization was studied with changes in the receptor content of isolated plasmalemma and endosome fractions evaluated by direct binding, Scatchard analysis, and Western blotting....

Estrogen receptor determinations have been performed on 241 cytosols from 160 breast cancer rumors using both radioactive ligands (|'II|estradiol, |3H|R2858) and monoclonal antibodies (Abbott ER-EIA Kit) in order to compare the two methods and to evaluate the clinical useful ness of the new immunological, simplified assay. Intraand interassay reproducibility of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) meth...

The gene expression of thyroid hormone receptors (TR) in ECRF24 immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was investigated at both the mRNA and the protein level. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) production were measured in response to triiodothyronine (T(3)) administration. A real-time PCR technique was used to quantify the presence of mRNAs encoding for t...

the extended hildebrand solubility parameter approach (ehsa) is used to estimate the solubility of satranidazole in binary solvent systems. the solubility of satranidazole in various water-peg 400 mixtures was analyzed in terms of solute-solvent interactions using a modified version of hildebrand-scatchard treatment for regular solutions. the solubility equation employs term interaction energy ...
