High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an essential tool for the purification and characterization of biomacromolecules. This unit presents a thorough discussion of the eight types of HPLC currently used, highlighting equipment and start-up procedures, recommendations for running each type of experiment, and theoretical considerations for the separation of peptides and proteins. This ...

introduction: the mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. the effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. to further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14c] clozapine with suitable ra...

the anthocyanins of the fruit skin of iranian forest pear (sange khouj) were separated, identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection (hplc/dad) and hplc/electrospray ionization /mass spectrometry (hplc/esi /ms). the individual anthocyanins were identified by comparing their mass spectral data and retention times with those of standards and publish...

The Arctic mutation interferes with processing of the amyloid precursor protein. The Arctic Alzheimer mutation favors intracellular Aȕ production by making APP less available to Į-secretase. Journal of Neurochemistry, in press.ȕ oligomers are inefficiently measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. and Johansson AS. Docosahexaenoic acid stimulates non-amyloidogenic APP processing resulting ...

The interaction of sulfur mustard with aminoacids and proteins has been investigated in this study. Rats were injected with sublethal doses of sulfur mustard subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. At different time intervals, plasma and urine samples were collected. The binding affinity of sulfur mustard with urinary and plasma proteins and enzymes was studied for the first time using non-i...
