The molecular weight of a thylakoid membrane polypeptide with the apparent molecular weight 11 000 was determined by measurement of the sedimentation velocity, the diffusion and the ef­ fective partial specific volume. The molecular weight was found to be 6300 and that of the polypeptide-dodecyl sulphate micelle was found to be 11 200. The frictional ratio was 1.35. In ad­ dition, we determined...

1. [35S]sulphate was used to measure the apparent turnover of sulphate, sulphide and microbial-protein-S in the rumen contents of four sheep that were intraruminally infused with 10 g sodium sulphate/d alone, or together with 126 mg sodium molybdate (50 mg molybdenum). 2. Infusion of molybdate increased the concentration of sulphate in rumen fluid from 2.2 to 7.2 mug S/ml and decreased the rate...

The immune bodies of antipneumococcus serum are completely precipitated by 38 to 42 per cent. saturation with ammonium sulphate. They are incompletely precipitated by (a) ammonium sulphate in less than 38 per cent. saturation, (b) saturation with sodium chloride, (c) dilution and saturation with carbon dioxide, (d) removal of crystalloids by dialysis. The immune bodies of antipneumococcus serum...

The relationship between the binding of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate and protons to histone H1 has been investigated by equilibrium dialysis and titrimetry. The data cover the pH range 3.2-10 and surfactant concentrations up to 3.0×10-3 mol dm-3. A theoretical approach based on the binding potential concept of Wyman is presented and has been used to make estima...

The present study was concerned with the selection of suitable surfactant for the production of alpha amylase by Bacillus subtilis GCBM-25 in 250 ml shake flask containing 50 ml of fermentation medium. Different surfactants (laundry soap, detergent powder, sulphonic acid, acyle benzene sulphonic acid, liquid soap, Tween 80, sodium silicate, bath soap, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium lauryl ethe...

The objective of this study was to characterize and compare the water and salt soluble proteins from rat liver and muscle by using sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polymer-filled capillary gel electrophoresis (SDS-CGE). The evaluation and comparison of separations realized with the use of both techniques was done. It was found tha...

The interaction of reagent grade strontium sulphate and celestine concentrate with aqueous solutions of oxalic acid, sodium oxalate and ammonium oxalate for the production of strontium carbonate were investigated for different oxalate compound:SrSO4 mole ratios and reaction times using x-ray diffraction analysis and dissolution tests. Under the same experimental conditions, it was found that aq...
