Ultrastructural Effects of Chemical Modification on Olfactory Receptors

Description: The ultrastructural effects of chemical modification on olfactory receptors were investigated with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. Mason and Morton (1984) hypothesized that a two-step chemical treatment would covalently modify receptor proteins. Their two-step protocol was modified in an attempt to label olfactory receptor proteins and the ultra structural effects of the original two-step protocol were examined.

A study of muscular development and muscular strength in the highly trained female bodybuilder and the non-strength trained female

Description: The extent of muscular strength and muscular size in 20 female bodybuilders and 20 non-strength trained females was studied. Body composition and segment volumes and related anthropometric measurements data were obtained along with chest press and knee extension One Repetition Maximum (IRM) and 25 Repitition Maximum (25RM) values. No group differences were present in age, height, weight and segment volumes. The bodybuilders had a lower percent body fat, greater lean body weight (LBW) and larger… more

Phosphorylation of Nonmuscle Myosin by Calcium-Dependent and Independent Protein Kinases

Description: Nonmuscle myosin from bovine thymus was purified, characterized , and phosphorylated with MLCK, H4PK, and Protein Kinase C. Phosphorylation occured exclusively on the myosin regulatory light chain. Phosphorylation by MLCK and H4PK resulted in the activation of the MgATPase activity as well as filament assembly of nonmuscle myosin.

A Proposed Molecular Mechanism for the Activation of a Calcium/Phospholipid-Dependent Protein Kinase in P1798 Lymphosarcoma

Description: Calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) was purified from P1798 lymphosarcoma. It was demonstrated that uncomplexed calcium and uncomplexed phosphatidylserine are the activators, that the activation of PKC requires that calcium bind first, that the activation of PKC requires that calcium bind first, that high calcium concentrations inhibit PKC activation, and that calcium inhibition can be overcome by phosphatidylserine.
