Transport of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is mediated by proteins belonging to two solute carrier families (SLC20 and SLC34). Members of both families transport P(i) using the electrochemical gradient for Na(+). The role of the SLC34 members as essential players in mammalian P(i) homeostasis is well established, whereas that of SLC20 proteins is less well defined. The SLC34 family comprises the f...

In a continuation of a search for biologically active molecules from marine organisms (Venkateswarlu et al., 1999) we investigated the sponge Agelas ceylonica belonging to the family Agelasidae. The sponge was collected at a depth of 30 f by skin diving near the Mandapam coast (N 173, E 833) India, during October 1997. A voucher specimen (IIC } 338) has been deposited at the museum of National ...

This paper presents a modeling of intelligent sensors based on a representation of the sensor by services it uses or it proposes, and by its USer Operating Modes (USOMs). This modeling is used for the definition of the reactive layer of distributed agent based intelligent sensors. Our area of interest is the agent-level layer in which the concept of IIC (Intelligent Instrument Cluster) is defin...

By reaction of 6-mercaptopurine (Ia), with acetoxyhydrargyriobenzol resp. mercuric acetate the 6-(phenylhydrargyriothio)-purine (IIa) resp. bis-(6-purinylthio)hydrargyrium (IIIa) was obtained. Analogically were prepared from starting compound Ib-Id the 2-amino-6-(phenylhydrargyriothio)-purine (IIb), its 9-(1-ß-Dribofuranosyl)-derivative (IIc), 4-(phenyl-hydrargyriothio)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin...
