The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the
acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic
acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been
examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The
proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme
and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
The first area of investigation involves the electron transport
of sub-mitochondrial particles and their components. The second
area is the synthesis of ATP and other energy linked reactions and
components of the energy conservation and transfer apparatus.
Investigations on the nature of the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine
(TMPD) shunt indicated that tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ)...
Investigations were conducted to study in detail some biochemical and physiological aspects of ripening in pears. Anjou pears
picked at different degrees of maturity were treated with Ethrel
(2-chloroethane phosphonic acid), 4000 ppm, and ethylene, 500 ppm,
for different lengths of time. Respiration rate was measured twice
daily and changes...
