Effects Of H^+-K^+ Atpase Inhibitors (Omeprazole And Lansoprazole) On Fertilization-Induced Bioelectrical Potential Changes In The Egg Of The Frog, Rana Cameranoi, Şeref Erdoğan, Kerem Tuncay Özgünen, Tuncay Özgünen
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Fertilization triggers Ca^{2+} increase and alkalization in the eggs of some species such as the frog. Ooplasmic Ca^{2+} increase triggers fertilization potential (FP), and alkalization can have a permissive effect in Ca^{2+} increase. It can be expected that pH regulation in the egg can affect both ooplasmic Ca^{2+} levels and the events triggered by increasing Ca^{2+}. The evidence of the possibility of H^+-K^+ ATPase in different tissues in recent studies prompted us to wonder about the probability of the existence of this pump in the egg. Therefore, we decided to investigate the presence of H^+-K^+ ATPase by bioelectrical potential recordings …

The Third Alphabet Of Life: Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions, Kami̇l Seyrek
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The structural diversity of oligosaccharides found in glycoconjugates is enormous. This is due to the number of different ways in which sugar monomers may be linked to each other regarding linkage position, anomeric configuration, pyranosidic or furanosidic ring form and chain branching. It has been proposed that these factors contribute to the exquisite potential of oligosaccharides to establish a code system of biological information. The information contained in these structures is decoded by complementary sites present on carbohydrate binding proteins (lectins).
