Changes in the diode characteristics of three different
types of diodes were studied. These were point-contact, bonded and zinc-diffused diodes. The parameters
in which measurable changes were observed were the forward
resistance, the reverse breakdown voltage, the
forward "knee" of the diode curve and the constant of
proportionality relating the...
The properties of flash- evaporated films of GaAs
and GaP were studied in this investigation. Films were
grown at various substrate temperatures, source temperatures,
source-to-substrate distances and rates of deposition
and were evaluated as to their structural,
optical and electric properties.
It was found that substrate temperature was the
major...
The interaction of polylysine with DNA may be divided into two
separate phenomena: the primary interaction involved in formation of
a well-defined complex, and secondary interactions leading to aggregation
of these complexes. Most studies on the interaction of polylysine
with DNA have used techniques which measure properties of
the aggregated...
A fluorescent dye, 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonyl
chloride (dansyl chloride), was covalently bonded to polylysine. The
dansyl tagged polylysine was complexed to DNA by gradient dialysis.
The polarization and intensity of fluorescence of the dansyl and the
turbidity of the complex were measured as a function of salt concentration
for a variety of...
The reactions of aldehydes with proteins are of nutritional and
physiological significance. The nutritive value of food materials can
be impaired by a reaction necessitating additional dietary protein,
and enzymes have been shown in vitro to be inhibited by reactions
with aldehydes.
Aldehydes present may arise from the autoxidation of...
