High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoretic Study Of Human Seminal Plasma Proteins, Edward E. Gaunt
High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoretic Study Of Human Seminal Plasma Proteins, Edward E. Gaunt
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
A comprehensive biochemical screening procedure for the evaluation of seminal plasma constituents is needed which, when used in conjunction with semen analysis, can provide the physician with both qualitative and quantitative information regarding the fertility status of an individual.
High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis is a technique whereby proteins in a complex mixture such as a biological fluid are separated in one dimension by molecular charge and in the second dimension by molecular mass. It has been the purpose of this investigation to adapt and evaluate this technique for the analysis of human seminal plasma.
Our efforts have shown that this …
Multiple Forms Of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Glycohydrolase From Bull Semen, Stanley D. Yeatts Ii
Multiple Forms Of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Glycohydrolase From Bull Semen, Stanley D. Yeatts Ii
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase (NADase) of bull semen is an extracellular, soluble enzyme capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of the nicotinamide N-ribosidic linkage of NAD+. In search for a rapid, simple procedure for the preparation of this enzyme, it was found that Matrex Gel Red A (Amicon) column packing served very well as an affinity gel for NADase. The enzyme was applied to the Matrex Red A column (21 cm x 1.5 cm) in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0. Surprisingly, two fractions of NADase activity were obtained when the column was eluted with a sodium chloride …
Sulfatides As Opiate Receptors: An Evaluation Of The Opiate Binding Potential Of Sulfogalactosylgylcerolipid, Darby Geoghegan Hand
Sulfatides As Opiate Receptors: An Evaluation Of The Opiate Binding Potential Of Sulfogalactosylgylcerolipid, Darby Geoghegan Hand
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Cerebroside sulfate (CS) has recently been shown to bind opiate drugs in a pharmacologically relevent manner and therefore satisfy the structural requirements of an opiate receptor. Seminolipid (SGG), a novel sulfated galactosyl. glycerolipid that has been isolated from the testes of a variety of mammals, may be viewed as a structural analog of CS. In view of this structural similarity, it is reasonable to presume that SGG may also bind opiate drugs. The isolation of SGG from boar testes was accomplished using silica gel dry column chromotography with a chloroform: methanol water solvent system. The structure and purity of the …
Structural Studies Of Preimplantation Rabbit Embryos Using Ftir Atr, Amy R. Moler-Booth
Structural Studies Of Preimplantation Rabbit Embryos Using Ftir Atr, Amy R. Moler-Booth
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
FTIR was used in conjunction with a surface selective technique, known as attenuated total reflectance (ATR), to study the infrared spectra of preimplantation rabbit embryos. The rabbit embryos ranged in aged from 3 to 6 days. Since an embryo is mostly water, deuteration of the embryo was necessary to eliminate the intense water background present in the mid-infrared region. A set of spectral standards were tested, in order to identify the bands seen in embryo spectra. By analyzing and comparing the spectra from 3, 4, 5 and 6 day embryos, differences could be noted. In particular, bands defined as Amide …
The Association Of 5.8 S With 28s Ribosomal Rna, Nandita Banerjee
The Association Of 5.8 S With 28s Ribosomal Rna, Nandita Banerjee
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
5.8S rRNA is a low molecular weight ribosomal RNA which is noncovalently bonded to the larger ribosomal subunit 28S rRNA; through its 3' end and through its 5' end. This interaction is an integral part of the ribosome, and plays an important role in the ribosome structure and function.
There is a high degree of homology between the 5.8S rRNA primary structures of rat, turtle and chicken. The base sequence of rat 5.8S rRNA differs only in one position from that of turtle and in three positions fr.om that of cl1.icken. Tl1ere is a single purine substitution at the 5' …
Multiple Methods Of Analysis Of 2'-O-Methylation In 5.8s Rrna, Sharon H. Ryan
Multiple Methods Of Analysis Of 2'-O-Methylation In 5.8s Rrna, Sharon H. Ryan
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
5.8S rRNA is a low molecular weight ribosomal RNA which is found hydrogen bonded to 28S rRNA in the eucaryotic cell. There are two nucleotides which have 2'-0-methylations; a guanine residue at position 77 is fully methylated and a uridine residue at position 14 which is partially methylated. This partial 2'-0-methylation of the uridine residue has been found to vary with the tissue source, with the highest level in normal tissue and the lowest level in neoplastic tissue. In order to study the significance of this site-specific methylation, a reliable and convenient method of analysis was needed.

The Synthesis And Evaluation Of The Potential Antineoplastic Activity Of The Semicarbazone And The Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives Of The Di-2-Pyridyl Ketone And The 1,8-Diazafluorenone Ring Systems, Adriene Y. Principe
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
A number of' a-(N)-heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and evaluated for potential antineoplastic activity since Brockman and colleagues2 reported the antineoplastic activity of' 2-f'ormylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (1). The primary objective of' this research project has been the synthesis and characterization of' the semicarbazone and the thiosemicarbazone derivatives of' the di-2-pyridyl ketone, (9-a) and (9-b), and the 1,8-diazaf'luorenone, (10-a) and (10-b), ring systems, as well as the evaluation of' these compounds for both in vitro and in vivo antineoplastic activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in mice. These studies have suggested that di-2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (9-b) is as effective as 2-formylpyridine …
Studies Of The Purification Of Nad-Dependent And Nadp-Dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase By General Ligand Affinity Chromatography, Geoffrey H. Bertkau
Studies Of The Purification Of Nad-Dependent And Nadp-Dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase By General Ligand Affinity Chromatography, Geoffrey H. Bertkau
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Purification of Yeast NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was partially successful when utilizing an NAD+-ribosyl-hydrazide Sepharose affinity chromatography column. Although no specific elution system was found, a maximum purification of sixty-five fold was achieved with 0.5M KCl elution. A 38-fold purification was obtained when 20mM NAD+ was employed for elution.
Yeast and calf liver NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase were also found to bind to NAD+-ribosyl-hydrazide Sepharose as well as the NAD+-dependent enzyme. Again, elution was achieved with either o,5M KCl or 20 mM NADP+.
Ammonium sulfate fractionation decreased the yield …
Kinetic And Binding Studies On L-∝-Glycerophosphate Dehydrogenase, Paul Richard Rosevear
Kinetic And Binding Studies On L-∝-Glycerophosphate Dehydrogenase, Paul Richard Rosevear
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The properties of the coenzyme, NAD, binding site of chicken muscle L-∝-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were studied. Adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine diphosphoribose were sha.vn to inhibit the enzyme competitively with respect to NAD. The presence of adenosine, pyrophosphate and ribose regions in the coenzyme binding site of the enzyme was suggested by the inhibitor constants obtained for these compounds.
Disodium monoalkyl phosphates, n-butyl to n-dodecyl phosphate, inclusive, were also shown to inhibit the L-∝-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase catalized reaction competitively with respect to NAD. A positive chain length effect was observed in the binding of these compounds to the enzyme, suggesting the …
