And Chemical Properties

The blue-sensitive visual pigment of the green rods of Bufo marinus was extracted with digitonin. The pigment is present in an amount equal to about 11% that of rhodopsin. It is based on vitamin A1 and exhibits a maximum absorbance of 433 nm. The pigment is labile and readily destroyed by hydroxylamine, regenerates to a much greater degree than does rhodopsin, and is more effectively extracted from the membrane than is rhodopsin. The green rod pigment of Bufo marinus appears to share the same physical and chemical properties as the green rod pigments of other amphibians. Therefore, the results of electrophysiological studies on the green rods of Bufo marinus can be more confidently generalized to other species. The results are discussed in terms of the blue phototaxis that is characteristic of many amphibians.

1. Bile salts of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (L.) were analysed as completely as possible. 2. They consist of taurine conjugates of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 22 xi-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestan-26-oic acid (tetrahydroxysterocholanic acid) and 3 alpha 12 alpha, 22 xi-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestan-26-oic acid, with minor amounts of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid (cholic acid), 3alpha, 12 alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid (deoxycholic acid) and possibly other bile acids. 3. Cholic acid and deoxycholic acid represent the first known examples of bile acids common to chelonians and other animal forms: they may indicate independent evolution in chelonians to C24 bile acids. 4. The discovery of a 7-deoxy C27 bile acid is the first evidence that C27 bile acids or their conjugates have an enterohepatic circulation.
