The molecular size of mu and pi symbionts of Parameciumaurelia has been calculated from renaturation kinetic data. Observed values were 0.78 x 10(9) daltons for mu particle DNA and 0.81 x 10(9) daltons for pi particle DNA. Estimates of analytical complexity were 4.45 x 10(9) and 5.05 x 10(9) daltons respectively. Based on these data, mu and pi symbionts appear to possess multiple genomes and co...

Adhesiveness of integrins is up-regulated rapidly by a number of molecules, including growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and other cell surface receptors, through a mechanism termed inside-out signaling. The inside-out signaling pathways are thought to alter integrin affinity for ligand, or cell surface distribution of integrin by diffusion/clustering. However, it remains to be clarified wh...

An isoform of the phosphatidylinositol-transfer protein (PI-TP) was identified in the cytosol fraction of bovine brain. This protein, designated PI-TP beta, has an apparent molecular mass of 36 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.4. The N-terminal amino acid sequence (21 residues) is 90% similar to that of bovine brain PI-TP, henceforth designated PI-TP alpha (molecular mass 35 kDa and pI 5.5). A...

They can be written in vector forms respectively as E1(s, I) = (s − PxCxI) Ax(s − PxCxI) + (s − PyCyI) Ay(s − PyCyI), (4) E2(I) = (I − I0) B(I − I0), (5) where s, I and I0 are vector representations of s, I and I0. Cx and Cy are discrete backward difference matrices that are used to compute image gradients in the xand ydirections. Px, Py , Ax, Ay and B are diagonal matrices, whose i-th diagonal...

Nitrogen components of yoghurt milk samples and resulting probiotic set yoghurt weredetermined. Analyses included total nitrogen (TN), non-casein nitrogen (NCN), non-proteinnitrogen (NPN), casein nitrogen (CN) and proteolysis index (PI). Yoghurt samples wereanalyzed 1, 7, 14 and 21days after production and storage at 5±1°C. TN, CN and PI contentsof yoghurt milk samples with high Somatic Cell SC...
