The method of visual quantitative estimation was employed to determine the index of enzymes activity in embryonal cells cultures infected with Rous virus. In early terms (1-7 days after infection) a moderate production of diformazane was noted in the presence of glucoso-6-phosphatiosomerase, phosphoglucomutase, pyruvatoxidase, NAD. H2- and NADP. H-2-diaphorase, other enzymes showing no distinquishable deviations in the activity, as compared with the normal culture. In later terms (13-27 days) during the proliferation of the transformed cells there was found an increased level of the glycolysis enzymes activity, pentose cycle, hydrolysis of ortho-phosphoric acid monoethers and reduced lemon acid cycle and tissue respiration. Cytoplasmatic vacuoles formed in the transformed cells seem to represent hypertrophic lysosomes and phagolysosomes.

The distribution of succinic dehydrogenase, (see article), glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase, alkaline and acid phosphatases and glucose-6-phosphatase was studied by means of the incubation of whole cestodes. Succinic dehydrogenase, NAD-diaphorase and glucose-6-phosphatdehydrogenase are connected in general with the fixating apparatus of the scolex and genital organs; phosphatases -- with the integument tissues, excretory system and calcareous corpuscles. The results obtained are in complete agreement with the available data on the distribution of the enzymes studied. The incubation method of whole cestodes can be useful for field works.

The activity of 8 enzymes (dehydrogenase and diaphorase) in cells of 110 neuroectodermal tumours was studied. The overall assessment showed that the activity of these enzymes varied: the highest was noted for NAD-diaphorase and lactadehydrogenase, the lowest--for enzymes of Krebs' cycle. The activity of dehydrogenase and diaphorase was different in neuroectodermal tumours of different origin. Not infrequently, there was observed "enzymatic polymorphism" of the cells of one and the same tumour. A higher activity of these enzymes in tumour cells, as a rule, correlated with a greater amount of cytoplasma and with a shift to the latter of the nucleo-cytoplasmatic ratio. Metabolism of tumour and reactively hypertrophied astrocytes, as judged by some histochemical findings, showed traits of similarity.

Thirty extraocular muscles (EOM) from 20 patients were evaluated by light microscopy (LM), electron microscopy (EM), and enzyme histochemistry (EZH). Twenty-one EOM were obtained from 13 patients with strabismus, 9 EOM from 4 patients undergoing eye surgery for other reasons and from 3 autopsy cases. One mum thick sections revealed marked variation in muscle fibre shape and size and in myofibrillar structure; also noted were small, hypertrophied, whorled, and ringbinden fibres. Dense and granular material in the central portion of some fibres and sarcomere disruption in 2--3 mum sections was observed. EZH revealed the absence of the classical mosaic pattern usually found in skeletal muscles. ATPase studies were inconsistent and did not correlate with the expected reciprocal activity of NAD-H diaphorase, particularly on the large fibres. Ultrastructural features consisted of vacuoles within myofilament bundles, "smearing" of Z bands, and "nemaline rods". Occasional myelin figures and lipid-like droplets were observed in subsarcolemmal spaces, associated with scattered clusters of glycogen granules. Abnormal mitochondria and subsarcolemmal inclusions of dense and granular material were conspicuous. "Leptomeric" profiles, "Zebra bodies", or "striated bodies" were noted in 8 EOM's, and an Hirano body was found in 1. The intramuscular nerves contained structures resembling "Luse bodies" in 7 cases. These observations suggest that EOM from individuals with and without strabismus possess unique structural characteristics suggestive of developmental and morphological disarrangement of contractile elements. Some of these changes might play a role in the pathogenesis of strabismus and in the development of clinical symptoms. These features are significantly different from striated skeletal muscle. Therefore the criteria used in the pathological evaluation and diagnosis of skeletal muscle disorders cannot be unequivocally applied to EOM investigations. These data establish the necessity to determine histological norms, ultrastructural patterns, and develop new enzyme histochemistry criteria for the evaluation of EOM. Only then can an acceptable comparison of EOM and skeletal muscle be made.

Asparagusate dehydrogenases I and II and lipoyl dehydrogenase have been obtained in homogeneous state from asparagus mitochondria. They are flavin enzymes with 1 mol of FAD/mol of protein. Asparagusate dehydrogenases I and II and lipoyl dehydrogenase have s20,w of 6.22 S, 6.39 S, and 5.91 S, respectively, and molecular weights of 111,000, 110,000, and 95,000 (sedimentation equilibrium) or 112,000, 112,000, and 92,000 (gel filtration). They are slightly acidic proteins with isoelectric points of 6.75, 5.75, and 6.80. Both asparagusate dehydrogenases catalyzed the reaction Asg(SH)2 + NAD+ equilibrium AsgS2 + NADH + H+ and exhibit lipoyl dehydrogenase and diaphorase activities. Lipoyl dehydrogenase is specific for lipoate and has no asparagusate dehydrogenase activity. NADP cannot replace NAD in any case. Optimum pH for substrate reduction of the three enzymes are near 5.9. Asparagusate dehydrogenases I and II have Km values of 21.5 mM and 20.0 mM for asparagusate and 3.0 mM and 3.3 mM for lipoate, respectively. Lipoyl dehydrogenase activity of asparagusate dehydrogenases is enhanced by NAD and surfactants such as lecithin and Tween 80, but asparagusate dehydrogenase activity is not enhanced. Asparagusate dehydrogenases are strongly inhibited by mercuric ion, p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, and N-ethylmaleimide. Amino acid composition of the three enzymes is presented and discussed.

The soluble hydrogenase (hydrogen: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.12.1.2) from Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 was purified 68-fold with a yield of 20% and a final specific activity (NAD reduction) of about 54 mumol H2 oxidized/min per mg protein. The enzyme was shown to be homogenous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molecular weight and isoelectric point were determined to be 205 000 and 4.85 respectively. The oxidized hydrogenase, as purified under aerobic conditions, was of high stability but not reactive. Reductive activation of the enzyme by H2, in the presence of catalytic amounts of NADH, or by reducing agents caused the hydrogenase to become unstable. The purified enzyme, in its active state, was able to reduce NAD, FMN, FAD, menaquinone, ubiquinone, cytochrome c, methylene blue, methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, phenazine methosulfate, janus green, 2,6-dichlorophenoloindophenol, ferricyanide and even oxygen. In addition to hydrogenase activitiy, the enzyme exhibited also diaphorase and NAD(P)H oxidase activity. The reversibility of hydrogenase function (i.e. H2 evolution from NADH, methyl viologen and benzyl viologen) was demonstrated. With respect to H2 as substrate, hydrogenase showed negative cooperativity; the Hill coefficient was n = 0.4. The apparent Km value for H2 was found to be 0.037 mM. The absorption spectrum of hydrogenase was typical for non-heme iron proteins, showing maxima (shoulders) at 380 and 420 nm. A flavin component could be extracted from native hydrogenase characterized by its absorption bands at 375 and 447 nm and a strong fluorescense at 526 nm.

Experiments were conducted on rabbits. A study was made of the activity of the redox enzymes--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), NAD-and NADP-diaphorases, cytochromeoxidase (CCO), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and the posterior lobe of the hypophysis under conditions of stimulation and removal of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia. There was revealed a correlation between the activity of the tissue respiration enzymes (SDH, MDH, NAD- and NADP-diaphorase, CCO) and the functional condition of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial neurosecretory system. However, the enzymes of the pentose-phosphate (G-6-PDH) and glycerophosphate shunt (alpha-GPDH) and also of the anaerobic way of oxidation (LDH) reacted nonspecifically on the induced effects.

The activity of some enzymes in T- and B-lymphocytes from the spleen of CBA mice was investigated. T-cell suspension was obtained by using a modified Kedar et al. method based on immunosorption. EAC-rosette forming cells were studied in the capacity of B-cells. The activity of all the enzymes examined proved to be higher in T-lymphocytes than in B lymphocytes; the greatest difference was noted in the activity of NADP.H2-diaphorase, and the least--in the activity of NAD.H2-diaphorase.

1. Like the malate dehydrogenases of eucaryotic cells, the Propionibacterium shermanii enzyme is a dimer consisting of two 35,000 molecular weight subunits. 2. In electrophoretic behavior, resistance to substrate inhibition and stability to heating and dilution the P. shermanii MDH is more similar to the s-MDH than to the m-MDH of pig heart. 3. The P. shermanii MDH has a high turnover number (ca. 140,000) as well as Km values for both L-malate and oxalacetate which are four times higher than the mammalian isoenzymes. 4. A coupled assay for MDH using the malate-lactate transhydrogenase and diaphorase is described in which both substrates, L-malate and NAD, are regenerated.
