[144] Determination of nitrate and nitrite
D. J. D. Nicholas,Alvin Nason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of 5-nitro-2,4-xylen-1-ol, which is volatile in steam and is distilled into dilute sodium hydroxide with which it forms a red salt, is determined colorimetrically with a green filter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyridine Nucleotide-Nitrate Reductase from Extracts of Higher Plants.
Harold J. Evans,Alvin Nason +1 more
TL;DR: This article describes the identification of the enzyme nitrate reductase (NR) in the leaves of vascular plants, the first report of NR in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Purification and Properties of Neurospora Nitrate Reductase
Reginald H. Garrett,Alvin Nason +1 more
TL;DR: All enzymatic activities associated with nitrate reductase are heat-labile but to varying degrees, with the NADPH-nitrate and -cytochrome c reductases being most sensitive, and FADH2- and reduced methyl viologen-nitrates reduct enzyme activities being progressively less so, in that order.

Journal ArticleDOI
In Vitro Formation of Assimilatory Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate: Nitrate Reductase from a Neurospora Mutant and a Component of Molybdenum-Enzymes
TL;DR: An active Neurospora-like assimilatory NADPH-nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.2) and several molybdenum-amino-acid complexes, as possible catalytic models of nitrogenase, were inactive (as were some previously tested 20 nonmolyb denum enzymes) in place of the acid-treated molyB denum-containing enzymes.
