The design and construction of two new sample injection systems or nozzles, for use with the Oregon State electron diffraction apparatus are discussed. One of these nozzles was intended for use with volatile samples the vapors of which were to be heated or cooled over the range -196 to 540°C;...
The rate of the C¹⁴0₂ release from glucose, specifically labeled
with C¹⁴ at 1, 2, 3+4, and positions, was used to study the relative
participation of pathways of glucose catabolism in red beet slices.
Evidence was obtained which indicated that in mature red beets glucose
was catabolized mainly via glycolysis-tricarboxylic...
Three types of experiments were designed to further characterize
the tryptophan decarboxylating enzyme of Reed and Crecelius
(1967).
1) Light inhibition studies were made with etiolated pea seedlings
to determine the in vitro response of the tryptophan decarboxylating
enzyme. Assays of indoleacetic acid oxidase (IAA oxidase)
and guaiacol-active pea seedling...
Partial purification of diamine oxidase from pea seedlings,
Pisum sativum, was accomplished by homogenization of 8-10 day
etiolated epicotyl tissue, followed by ammonium sulfate fractionation
and DEAE Sephadex column chromatography. The preparation thus
obtained was purified 50 fold.
Some properties of this enzyme were investigated. A radio-tracer method was adapted...
A study was made of the infrared absorption spectrum for
cyanate ion in KCl and KBr host lattices containing small amounts of
calcium or barium ion. Both pellets and single crystals were
scanned during the course of this study. The spectra of the barium
or calcium doped crystals contained many...
