Urease inhibitor [N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT)] and nitrification (NI) (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) have been used to reduce nitrogen (N) losses from urea-based fertilizers. This study evaluated the effect of temperature, NBPT, NI on kinetic thermodynamic properties urea hydrolysis in six soils. Soils were amended (250 kg N·ha ?1 ) with (UR), NBPT treated (UR ), or + DI incuba...

Mouse peritoneal macrophages take up acetylated human low density lipoprotein by receptor-mediated endocytosis, hydrolyze its cholesteryl esters in lysosomes, and re-esterify the cholesterol in the cytoplasm. The re-esterified cholesterol accumulates as cytoplasmic lipid droplets that resemble the droplets seen in “foam cells” of atherosclerotic lesions. In the present studies, we have investig...

This paper presents a novel method for preparing aromatic, mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a dilute surface fraction coverage of protonated amine via in situ hydrolysis of C═N double bond on gold surface. Two imine compounds, (4'-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylideneamino)biphenyl-4-yl)methanethiol (CF(3)-C(6)H(4)-CH═N-C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4)-CH(2)-SH, TFBABPMT) and (4'-(4-cyanobenzylideneamino...

Recently, we (1) described experiments which strongly supported the common identity of glucose 6-phosphatase,’ inorganic pyrophosphatase, pyrophosphate-glucose phosphotransferase, and mannose B-phosphate-glucose phosphotransferase activities present in a preparation obtained by ammonium sulfate fractionation of deoxycholate-dispersed rat liver microsomes. Previously, Segal, Washko, and Lee (2, ...

An endogenous wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour endoxylanase was purified to homogeneity from a crude wheat flour extract by ammonium sulfate precipitation and cation-exchange chromatography. The 30-kD protein had an isoelectric point of 9.3 or higher. A sequence of 19 amino acids at the NH2 terminus showed 84.2% identity with an internal sequence of 15-kD grain-softness protein, friabilin. High-...

BACKGROUND Minor saponins or human intestinal bacterial metabolites, such as ginsenosides Rg3, F2, Rh2, and compound K, are more pharmacologically active than major saponins, such as ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, and Rc. In this work, enzymatic hydrolysis of ginsenoside Rb1 was studied using enzyme preparations from cultured mycelia of mushrooms. METHODS Mycelia of Armillaria mellea, Ganoderma lucid...

To date urea and ammonium are two nitrogen (N) forms widely used in agriculture. Due to a low production cost, is the N form most applied However, its stability soil depends on activity of microbial ureases, that operate hydrolysis into ammonium. In subjected fast volatilization ammonia, an environmental loss contributes atmospheric pollution impacts farm economies. Based these considerations, ...

Sulfasalazine (SSZ) was subjected to degradation under the conditions of hydrolysis (acid, alkali, and water), oxidation (30% H2O2), dry heat, and photolysis (UV-VIS light) in accordance with the ICH guidelines. An RP-HPLC method was developed to study the degradation behavior. No degradation was noted under any condition except alkaline hydrolysis where SSZ was degraded to a single minor produ...

Extraction ofRhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores by LiCl in the presence of ATP results in more than 95% loss of both ATP synthesis and hydrolysis activities. The lost activities are completely restored when the LiCl-ATP extract is recoupled to the LiCl-depleted membranes. The factor present in this LiCl-ATP extract, has been purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and by gel filtration thr...
