The interaction of amphotericin B methyl ester (AME) with protoplasts of Candida albicans was measured indirectly by following the incorporation of [U-14C]phenylalanine into the acid-insoluble material. The inhibitory effects of AME at the minimum inhibitory concentration were prevented by the addition of 85 mM-KCl and 45 mM-MgCl2, as shown by Liras & Lampen (1974) for Saccharomyces cerevisiae....

The stepwise chromatographic behaviour on DEAE-Sepharose of rat Fe65, a neuronal protein, was tested, using as eluants KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2. Assays by western blot showed that Fe65 was eluted by CaCl2, at a ionic strength 20% lower than that of MgCl2 or KCl. Interestingly, in the case of a truncated Fe65, lacking a glutamic acid rich region at the N-terminus, the ionic strengths of the various...

Transcription from P2, one of the major promoters of the cell wall protein gene operon of Bacillus brevis 47, was markedly enhanced at the early stationary phase of growth. MgCl2, when added at 1 to 5 mM to the medium, inhibited this enhancement of transcription as well as shedding of the cell wall protein layers from the cell surface. MgSO4 or CaCl2 showed an effect similar to that of MgCl2. T...

The photosynthetic oxygen-evolving activity of the photosystem 2 complex, prepared from spinach, was labile when the complex was exposed to high-salt conditions under which the extrinsic proteins were dissociated from the complex. Glycinebetaine prevented the dissociation of the 18-kDa and the 23-kDa extrinsic proteins from the photosystem 2 complex in the presence of 1 M NaCl. It also prevente...

It is proposed to use the indicator method for experimental determination of average residence time liquid on new disk contact device. an aqueous solution MgCl2 as

The smaller subparticle of rabbit reticulocyte ribosomes was shown to yield core-particle and split-protein fractions on treatment with 2.5 M-NH4Cl/61 mM-MgCl2. The core-particle fraction was inactive in poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis, but activity was restored after recombination with the split-protein fraction. Optimum ionic conditions for the reconstruction of active subparticl...

The surface tensions of binary salt mixtures made up from NaCl and MgCl2 in aqueous solution were measured as a function of concentration and temperature. By analyzing the results, the thermodynamic quantities of surface formation such as entropy (Deltas), Helmholtz free energy (Deltaf), and energy of surface formation (Deltau) were evaluated. The Deltaf of the mixtures positively deviates from...

SiO2/MgCl2 (ethoxide type)/TiCl4 Ziegler-Natta catalysts for use in ethylene polymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization have been prepared using silica with a supported layer of magnesium ethoxide (Mg(OEt)2) as a catalyst precursor, followed by treating with TiCl4 at different Ti/Mg molar ratios, which showed significant effects on the active centers and pore structures of the cataly...
