In order to examine some possible tyrosyl interactions, poly-tyrosyl lysozyme and poly-O-methyltyrosyl lysozyme were prepared and their solubilities were compared. Both derivatives exhibited
similar pH dependent solubilities, showing a minimum solubility at
about pH 8. Their solubilities varied with temperature, having a
positive enthalpy of solution. The effect of a...
This report presents a summary of the principal geologic and physiographic features of the upper part of the Snake River Canyon between Oregon and Idaho. The area discussed extends from Farewell Bend near Huntington, Oregon downriver to Granite Creek 6 miles below Hells Canyon Dam, a distance of 94 miles....
A survey of the major bodies of water, temporary and perennial,
in the region of Northern Utah revealed a limited distribution of
the Notostraca. Lepidurus (Linn.), the only representative
found, was restricted to a single temporary shallow lake. Dry Lake,
in the southern end of Cache County.
Dry Lake occupies...
The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of
heterosis in three complex traits in barley and to investigate the
concept of component interaction as a means of producing heterosis.
The complex traits were grain yield, total leaf area, and malting
quality.
Seven varieties of spring barley were...
The effect of heterozygosity on the phenotypic stabilities of six
morphological plant characteristics was studied in hybrid crosses of
two self-pollinated barley species Hordeum vulgare L., emend Lam.
and Hordeum distichum L., emend Lam. Experimental material
consisting of parents and their F₁ diallel progeny were grown at two
field locations...
A study was conducted to determine what effects the type of
pollutants, storage conditions, storage time, and method of sample
conditioning have on the reported weight of an air pollutant collected
by filtration. Samples were collected from a refuse dump, an arc
furnace smelting nickel ore, and a rotary kiln...
Biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and
mercuric acetate toxicity in rats carried out during this investigation
were (1) the metabolism of ²⁰³Hg(Ac)₂ and ²⁰³Hg-PMA within kidney and liver tissues following oral
ingestion,
(2) the effect on some
soluble enzyme activities and determinations of ²⁰³Hg binding in the
enzyme fractions,...
