The interaction between two physiological redox partners, trimethylamine dehydrogenase and electron-transferring flavoprotein, has been characterized quantitatively by analytical ultracentrifugation at 4 degrees C. Analysis of sedimentation-equilibrium distributions obtained at 15 000 rpm for mixtures in 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5, by means of the psi function [Wills, P. R., Jacobsen, M....

the equilibrium constant of adduct formation between some triorganotin chloride of the type r3sncl (r=c6h5, p-ch3c6h4, n-ch3)ch2)3, c6h5-ch2 and lewis bases cl¯, br¯, and i¯, were measured in 50% v/v ethanol-water solvent spectrophotometrically. the average equilibrium constant values for the systems studied shows the following acceptor trend of tin(iv) in the triorganotin chlorides: p-tolyl > ...

the acid-base equilibrium of lorazepam was studied by means of potentiometry andmultiwavelengths spectrophotometry. the stoichiometric equilibrium constants were determinedat 25 °c and constant ionic strength 0.1 mol l-1 (nacl). the acidity constants pk1=1.58±0.05and pk2=11.67±0.07 were found by potentiometry, and pk1=1.54±0.02 and pk2=11.61±0.03 bymulti-wavelengths spectrophotometry. potentiom...

A twisted elastic rod with intrinsic curvature is considered. We investigate the dynamics of the rod in a viscous incompressible fluid. This fluid is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations and the fluid-rod interaction problem is solved by the generalized immersed boundary method combined with the Kirchhoff rod theory. We classify the equilibrium configurations of an open elastic rod as they d...

We report here that the intrinsic affinities of the antigen-specific T-cell receptors (TCR) of two unrelated CD8+ T-cell clones for their respective peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ligands are higher than the values generally thought to prevail for TCR. The TCR of one clone (2C) binds an allogeneic class I MHC protein (Ld) in association with an alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase ...

In this paper we study the evolution of function-valued traits for cooperation in environments that display varying degrees of population viscosity. Traits measure an individual's intrinsic propensity to cooperate in a standard bilateral Prisoner's dilemma and can be increasing, decreasing or constant functions of the probability to interact with individuals of ones own genotype. We first analy...

In this work, we use the formal definition of $k$-slant helix cite{ali2} to obtain the intrinsic equations as well as the position vector for emph{slant-slant helices} which a generalization of emph{general helices} and emph{slant helices}. Also, we present some characterizations theorems for $k$-slant helices and derived, in general form, the intrinsic equations for such curves. Thereafter, fr...
