Isolated membrane fractions of Escherichia coli K-12 yielded complex immunoprecipitate patterns when Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate extracts were examined by crossed immunoelectrophoresis with antienvelope immunoglobulins. Twelve of the 46 antigens in the immunoprecipitate patterns of inner (plasma) membranes were identified by zymograms and/or by the use of specific antisera. The following enzyme activities were detected in immunoprecipitates: 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43); adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3); glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), two separate components; malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37); dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1); succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1); lactate dehydrogeanse (EC 1.1.1.27); reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3); protease (EC 3.4.21.1); and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5). The corresponding immunoprecipitate pattern for isolated outer membranes consisted of at least 25 discrete antigens and differed strikingly from that obtained with inner membranes. Two major immunogens were identified as lipopolysaccharide and Braun lipoprotein. A protease-active immunoprecipitate was also detected in this fraction, but attempts to identify the Rosenbusch matrix protein in the crossed immunoelectrophoretic profile were unsuccessful.

The hepatocyte and haematopoietic cell contents of the liver of the foetal guinea pig were measured over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes represented about 30% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this increased to 70-80% by term; cell volume remained fairly constant until 5-7 days before term, then more than doubled. Haematopoietic cells represented about 5% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this progressively fell to <1% by term. At 75% of gestation hepatocytes and haematopoietic cells were prepared from perfused foetal livers by collagenase digestion. Enzyme activity of the hepatocyte was, without exception, similar to that of the whole liver. In general, enzyme activity in the haematopoietic cells was similar to that in erythrocytes, with relatively low values for aldolase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, ;malic' enzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. The haematopoietic cell contribution to total enzyme activity in the foetal liver was usually much less than 10% and could thus not account for the major changes in hepatic enzyme activity over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes contained hexokinase isoenzymes I and III, aldolase isoenzymes A and B and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 1, 2 and 4. The haematopoietic cells contained hexokinase isoenzyme I and two additional bands of activity with slightly greater mobility, aldolase isoenzyme A and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 2 and 4.

Two main groups of quantitative methods are used in the brain to relate enzymatic processes to cellular structures, i.e. the methods of microchemistry and microscopic histochemistry. Microchemistry tries to quantify enzyme activities in very small brain regions by miniaturizing biochemical methods, whereas microscopic histochemistry applies staining procedures to tissue sections, preserving the structural relationship that is present in situ and giving topological information on the distribution of enzymes which is indispensable in structural heterogeneous tissue as is the brain. The present review deals preferentially with microscopic methods and, in particular, with scanning microphotometry (image plane scanning). Using this technique two measuring procedures can be applied for the quantification of enzyme activities, i.e. end-point and kinetic (continuous monitoring) measurements which are described in detail. Methods for the microphotometric demonstration of certain important dehydrogenases (isocitrate dehydrogenases, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase), of cytochrome c oxidase, hexokinase and acetylcholinesterase are presented. These methods were adapted for giving optimal demonstration of enzyme activities in the rat hippocampus. The examples are given to illustrate the aptitude and possibilities of this technique in the quantification of enzymes in the complex matrix of the brain.

1. The decrease in the protein fluorescence (F) of Neurospora crassa glutamate dehydrogenase is linearly related to the increase in the fraction of the coenzyme sites occupied by NADPH (alpha) at pH6.35. Under these conditions NADPH causes this enzyme to dissociate to monomers. 2. There is a non-linear relationship of F to alpha for NADH binding to give the alcohol dehydrogenase-NADH-isobutyramide complex, the l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase-NADH complex and the bovine glutamate dehydrogenase-NADH-glutamate complex. The non-linearity is accurately represented by F=[1-alpha(1-x)](n) where n is the number of NADH-binding sites per protein molecule. 3. The co-operative binding of GTP to bovine glutamate dehydrogenase in the presence of NADH gives a linear relationship between F and alpha. 4. The prediction from the equation F=[1-alpha(1-x)](n) that initial tangents to non-linear protein-fluorescence-quenching curves will intercept the fluorescence when alpha=1 at a value of total ligand concentration less than the sum of the concentration of binding sites in the solution plus the dissociation constant of ligand is quantitatively fulfilled. 5. Non-linear protein-fluorescence titrations may be used to obtain information about the distribution of ligand among the protein molecules in solution.
