SummaryPlatelet cofactor I preparations from bovine plasma were studied from the viewpoint of stability in the presence of chemicals selected strategically. The preparations were of high quality having about 86 per cent of the protein as one component by ultracentrifuge analysis. The activity was easily destroyed with hydrogen peroxide, sodium sulfite, phenylhydrazine, formalin, acetone, and by the process of freeze drying. The activity was not lost in the presence of oxygen, ascorbic acid, cysteine, merthiolate, parachloromercuribenzoate or 0.5 per cent phenol. In the native plasma the activity is not adsorbed on barium carbonate, barium sulfate, or magnesium hydroxide. Nor is it destroyed by ether; but, in purified form it is adsorbed on these adsorbants and is destroyed by ether. In the purified preparations the activity was not adsorbed on IRC-50 resin thus making it possible to use this adsorbant to remove any thrombin that might be added to a platelet cofactor I preparation. By this technic it was possible to show that thrombin alone does not easily destroy platelet cofactor I activity.

A beverage formulation with proteins of high quality, inulin, Stevia and C vitamin has been prepared. The protein source was bovine plasma which was concentrated and demineralized by a combined membrane methodologies as microfiltration, ultrafiltration and discontinues diafiltration. The use of inulin as protective agent to prevent protein concentrate denaturation during freeze-drying was assayed. The inulin is a versatile food ingredient and it also has health benefits. The powder obtained has improved sensory characteristic and high solubility. Stevia has been added as sweetness, being a low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternative. The formulation could be destined as protein supplement with functional properties or for special dietary use.

The Stability

SummaryAn attempt was made to obtain Ac-globulin from bovine plasma. The concentrates contain mostly protein, and phosphorus is also present. The stability characteristics vary from one preparation to another, but in general there was no loss before 1 month in a deep freeze or before 1 week in an icebox, or before 5 hours at room temperature. Reducing agents destroy the activity rapidly. S-acetylmercaptosuccinic anhydride is an effective stabilizing agent. Greatest stability was at pH 6.0.In the purification bovine plasma is adsorbed with barium carbonate and diluted 6-fold with water. Protein is removed at pH 6.0 and the Ac-globulin is precipitated at pH 5.0. Rivanol and alcohol fractionation is followed by chromatography on Amberlite IRC-50 or DEAE-cellulose. The final product is obtained by isoelectric precipitation.

Prothrombin Activation

SummaryIn this paper an inhibitor is described that is found in hemophilic plasma and serum different from any till now described inhibitor. The inhibitor only inhibits prothrombin activation in the “intrinsic clotting systems”. This inhibitor is probably not present in normal human plasma or serum. It is destroyed by ether and freeze drying, is labile to acid and storage at room temperature. It is stable upon dialysis and has not been adsorbed on barium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide or kaolin. It precipitates at 50% v/v saturation with alcohol. The nature of this inhibitor seems to be a protein or lipoprotein.Factor VIII was isolated from hemophilic plasma. The amount isolated was the same as from normal plasma and the activity properties were not different. Hemophiliacs have normal amounts of factor VIII.

Seed Mediated

Silver nanoplates (SNPs) having different size were synthesized by a seed-mediated method. The seeds -silver nanoparticles with 4 – 6 nm diameters were synthesized first by reducing silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the present of Trisodium Citrate and Hydrogen peroxide. Then these seeds were developed by continue reducing Ag\(^+\) ions with various amount of L-Ascorbic acid to form SNPs. Our analysis showed that the concentratrion of L-Ascorbic acid, a secondary reducing agent, played an important role to form SNPs. In addition, the size and in-plane dipole plasmon resonance wavelenght of silver nanoplates were increased when the concentration of added silver nitrate increased. The characterization of SNPs were studied by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDS and TEM methods.

The ESR spectra of peroxidase systems of methaemoglobin-ascorbic acid-hydrogen peroxide and methaemoglobin-haptoglobin complex-ascorbic acid-hydrogen peroxide have been measured in the acetate buffer of pH 4.5. For the system with methaemoglobin an asymmetrical signal with g ~ 2 has been observed which is interpreted as the perpendicular region of anisotropic spectrum of superoxide radical. On the other hand, for the system with methaemoglobin-haptoglobin complex the observed signal with g ~ 2 is symmetrical and is interpreted as a signal of delocalized electron. After realization of three repeatedly induced peroxidase processes the ESR signal of the perpendicular part of anisotropic spectrum of superoxide radical is distinctly diminished, whereas the signal of delocalized electron remains practically unchanged. An amino acid analysis of methaemoglobin along with results of the ESR measurements make it possible to derive a hypothesis about the role of haptoglobin in increasing of the peroxidase activity of methaemoglobin.

ABSTRACT In this study, we demonstrate that hyphal differentiation is induced by the subtoxic concentration of exogenous H2O2 in Candida albicans. This finding is confirmed by the changing intracellular concentration of H2O2. In order to induce the same level of differentiation, low concentrations of exogenous H2O2 are required for the null mutants of the thiol-specific antioxidant and catalase, while higher concentrations are needed for cells treated with ascorbic acid, an antioxidant chemical.

Modified Fenton

ABSTRACT An approach to decontamination of biological endospores is discussed. Specifically, the performance of an aqueous modified Fenton reagent is examined. A modified Fenton reagent formulation of cupric chloride, ascorbic acid, and sodium chloride is shown to be an effective sporicide under aerobic conditions. The traditional Fenton reaction involves the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radical by aqueous ionic catalysts such as the transition metal ions. Our modified Fenton reaction involves the conversion of aqueous dissolved oxygen to hydrogen peroxide by an ionic catalyst (Cu2+) and then subsequent conversion to hydroxyl radicals. Results are given for the modified Fenton reagent deactivating spores of Bacillus globigii. A biocidal mechanism is proposed that is consistent with our experimental results and independently derived information found in the literature. This mechanism requires diffusion of relatively benign species into the interior of the spore, where dissolved O2 is then converted through a series of reactions which ultimately produce hydroxyl radicals that perform the killing action.
