Oxidative phosphorylation and related reactions, particularly as
affected by 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP), were studied with mitochondria
and submitochondrial particles isolated from the flight muscle of the
blowfly (Phormia regina) and housefly (Musca domestida). In the
presence of a phosphate acceptor, the mitochondria oxidized pyruvate
rapidly, and this was tightly coupled...
Since many 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidines have become available
and commercially useful in recent years, a study of the chemistry
of certain of these compounds has been undertaken.
2-Hydroxy- and 2-mercapto-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine
have been synthesized by the condensation of urea and thiourea, respectively,
with 1, 3-propanediamine, with yields...
