Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes comprise a family of related enzymes. There are only limited differences between these isozymes in substrate specificity or sensitivity to activators. However, there are multiple isozymes within a cell mediating isozyme-specific functions. Differential subcellular localization has been proposed to explain this specificity. When members of the PKC family are activ...

Serum creatine kinase (EC 2.1.3.2) isoenzyme MM was resolved by isoelectric focusing into a five-band pattern, a pattern that gradually changed after the onset of myocardial infarction. Similar changes were also demonstrated in patients undergoing coronary-bypass surgery. The evolution of two CK-MB sub-bands was studied in both cases. We found that three electrophoretic bands (CK-MM, pI 7.10; M...

in recent years, several plant species have been used as bioindicators, and several tests have been developed to evaluate the toxicity of the environmental contaminants. in this study, the root length and dna band pattern of root tips in maize (zea mays l.) seedlings were exposed at different concentration of cadmium pollutant (40 and 80 mg l−1). the results indicated that the root length of ma...

I previously reported the occurrence of a pattern of multiple, equally spaced, low-concentration light chain bands in urine in immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) studies (Clin Chem 1990;36:1526-7). Although the pattern varies somewhat among patients with regard to the number of bands, light chain type, and concentration, it is relatively invariant with regard to the location and spacing of th...

The erythrocyte membrane protein pattern of patients with megaloblastic anemia was determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. In severe megaloblastic anemia, secondary either to folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency, the erythrocyte membrane protein pattern was grossly abnormal, lacking bands 1, 2 (spectrin), and 3 and having several diffuse, faster migrating ban...

A new isogene for acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein):glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT; EC 2.3.1.15) in squash has been cloned and the gene product was identified as oleate-selective GPAT. Using PCR primers that could hybridise with exons for a previously cloned squash GPAT, we obtained two PCR products of different size: one coded for a previously cloned squash GPAT corresponding to non-sele...

This paper addresses the comparison of characteristics between the bands of 40 and 60 GHz, prospectively allocated for Mobile Broadband Communication Systems. The key difference between the two bands is the oxygen absorption, which is negligible at 40 GHz, but presents high values at 60 GHz, decreasing from 14 dB/km (at 62 GHz) down to approximately 1 dB/km (at 66 GHz). The impact of this exces...

in order to evaluate salt (nacl) tolerance in alfalfa (medicago sativa l.) half-sib families, a factorial experiment on the basis of completely randomized design, with 20-25 individuals in pot (replicates) was carried out under field conditions at the research station of university of tabriz. electrophoretic analyses were performed by using 7.5% slab polyacrylamide gels. two antioxidant enzymes...

In this study, esterase isozyme polymorphisms in Boreal-Tertiary origin relict endemic L. orientalis populations were investigated. Four populations located in the Southern and the Southwestern regions of Turkey were screened. Two of these populations (Fethiye-Günlüklü and Fethiye-İnlice) belong to subspecies L. orientalis Mill.var. orientalis. The other two (Muğla-Köyceğiz and Antalya-Gebiz) b...
