Abstract

ATP was synthesized in presence of insulin or insulin and prostaglandin E2 by rat skeletal muscle particulate preparation enriched in plasmatic membranes. Isolation of the ATP was carried out using column chromatography on Dowex 1 x 8/cl-form, 100--200 mesh). ATP was formed within 1 min in a medium containing Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5, ADP, Mg2+, inorganic phosphate, NaF during NADH-related oxidation involving cytochrome c and O2 in amounts of 100--300 pmoles per mg of protein. Quantitative estimation of ATP in the lyophilized product was carried out by means of spectrophotometry at 340 nm of NADPH formed during a coupled enzymatic reactions involving hexokinase and glycose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. This products identified by descending paper chromatography on Whatman NI in the system containing ethanol-ammonium citrate pH 4.4 and pH 7.5. Identification of ATP was also performed by thin-layer chromatography. The product was tested for content of ribose (orcinol method) and of inorganic phosphate after acid hydrolysis within 7.5 min at 100 degrees. In the product obtained adenine was identified by UV-spectrophotometry at 260 nm. A salt of ATP was synthesized from the product obtained.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
