The Enzymatic Oxidation Of Aldehydes By Xanthine Oxidase, Duane Beal Gregory
The Enzymatic Oxidation Of Aldehydes By Xanthine Oxidase, Duane Beal Gregory
All Master's Theses
As early as sixty years ago, the existence of an enzyme from mammalian tissues which catalyzed the oxidation of xanthine and hypoxanthine was recognized. The name given the enzyme was derived from its earliest recognized action, hence xanthine oxidase. Although little is known about the biological functions of the enzyme, the high affinity shown for xanthine and hypoxanthine may indicate that these are the most significant substrates biologically.
Pigments And Neurogenic Secretions Of Dermasterias Imbricata, Stephen Edward Davis
Pigments And Neurogenic Secretions Of Dermasterias Imbricata, Stephen Edward Davis
All Master's Theses
Identification of the compound from the asteroid Dermasterias imbricata that evokes the swimming response in the sea anemone Stomphia coccinea was attempted. Although the compound was not identified, it was postulated to be a low molecular weight highly polar molecule of possible carbohydrate origin.

Pigments Of The Crinoid Florometra Serretissima, Guy Allen Howard
All Master's Theses
The purpose of the present study is to separate and identify the pigments responsible for the bright orange color of the crinoid Florometra serretissima. This is the first reported investigation of the pigmentation of this particular crinoid.
