An
investigation was
made
into certain
aspects
of
protein
synthesis
at
different
developmental stages
of the
flesh fly
Sarcophaga
bullata.
This
included
measurements
of the
incorporation of
labeled
amino
acids into
protein
by intact cells
from
a
single
organ, the
larval
fat
body,
and
a
study
of
amino
acid

The production of C¹⁴O₂ metabolized from glucose labeled in
specific carbon atoms by homogenates of chick embryonic and adult
heart was compared by the radiorespirometric technique. Homogenates
of early (two to five days of incubation) embryo hearts were
found to utilize the phosphogluconate pathway of glucose catabolism
to a greater...
The investigation
of impurity effects on the properties of alkali
halide crystals has often been difficult because of the variation of procedures used in various experiments.
The purpose of this work is to
develop a self consistent method of measuring the IV dipole polarization properties of single crystals while eliminating...
The infrared absorption spectra (40-800 cm⁻¹) of the trifluorides
of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb isolated
in solid argon, krypton and nitrogen matrices have been obtained. For
PrF₃ the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes were observed;
PrF₃ is accordingly assigned a...
Pelargonium graveolens Ait., rose geranium, contains several oxygenated monoterpenes, most of which are related to each other structurally. In this work, the metabolism and interconversions of these terpenes was investigated. A chromatographic analysis of geranium oil was performed initially for the purposes of identifying the terpenes and determining which chromatographic...
