A number of gangliosides were isolated from cat and sheep erythrocytes for use in analyzing the specificity of a panel of human anti-heterophile monoclonal antibodies. The structures of these compounds were determined by a combination of different procedures, including sugar analysis, glycosidase treatment, periodate oxidation, TLC immunostaining, methylation analysis, and mass spectrometry. Th...

An analytical procedure for the alpha-source preparation is investigated in study to determine uranium radioisotopes specific activities bioleaching liquor leach from asphaltite samples taken Silopi region Türkiye. The purpose develop a new radiochemical method that can provide alpha-particle spectrometry requirements. proposed includes sample preparation, purification of liquor, on substrate a...

The oxygen diffusion layer (alpha-case) is generally considered to have a negative impact on the mechanical properties and applications of titanium alloys. In this study, TC4 alloy specimens with four types different concentrations in alpha-case were obtained by controlling process parameters. Scanning electron microscopy glow discharge spectrometry employed characterize microstructure concentr...

Detached cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. var. Beit Alpha) cotyledons incubated in darkness with 5-aminolaevulinic acid and either 16O2 air (control) or 18O2 in N2 accumulated protochlorophyllide. This was converted into methyl phaeoporphyrin alpha 5 and analysed by mass spectrometry. The molecular ion of the methyl phaeoporphyrin alpha 5 derived from the 18O2 incubation was 2 mass units greater th...

There are many regulations related to the radiological control of NORMs (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) in activities such as mining, industry, etc. Consequently, it is necessary apply fast and accurate methods measure activity concentrations long-lived natural radionuclides (e.g., 238U, 234,232,230,228Th, 228,226Ra, 210Pb, 210Po, 40K) samples characterized by a wide variety composi...

The mobilization of triacylglycerides from storage in adipocytes to the liver is a vital response to the fasting state in mammalian metabolism. This is accompanied by a rapid translational activation of genes encoding mitochondrial, microsomal, and peroxisomal beta-oxidation in the liver, in part under the regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha). A failure to...

The O-linked oligosaccharides attached to human erythrocyte glycophorins were extensively characterized. In addition to the previously described disialylated tetrasaccharide, NeuNAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3 (Neu-NAc alpha 2----6)GalNAcOH and monosialylated trisaccharide, NeuNAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3GalNAcOH, novel trisialylated oligosaccharides were isolated. Methylation analysis, fast...

The formation of amino acids by the action of electric discharges on a mixture of methane, nitrogen, and water with traces of ammonia was studied in detail. The presence of glycine, alanine, alpha-amino-n-butyric acid, alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, valine, norvaline, isovaline, leucine, isoleucine, alloisoleucine, norleucine, proline, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, threonine, allothreonine...

Three cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) isozymes were purified from livers of male CD-1 mice to homogeneity using affinity chromatography and gradient elution. Isozyme molecular masses and purities were determined using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS), HPLC, and electrophoretic methods. Isozymes were assigned to alpha, pi, and mu classes based on kinetic ...
