Journal ArticleDOI
The subcellular distribution of carnitine acyltransferases in mammalian liver and kidney. A new peroxisomal enzyme.
TL;DR: Liver and kidney organelles from rat and pig were separated by isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation and located by marker enzymes and carnitine palmitoyltransferase was shown to be exclusively a mitochondrial enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of metal cations bound to membranes and extracted lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the loss of specific groups in the core region of the lipopolysaccharide from the mutant strain results in a more open structure that allows the binding of larger cations and of more monovalent cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding of polycationic antibiotics and polyamines to lipopolysaccharides of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: It is proposed that antibiotic permeability and disruption of outer membrane integrity by polycationic antibiotics results from binding of the antibiotic to anionic groups on lipopolysaccharide with a consequent change in the conformation of lipopoly Saccharide aggregate structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity of lipopolysaccharides from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: analysis of lipopolysaccharide chain length.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the A and B bands from the PAO1 strains are antigenically distinct, and it is proposed that PAO2 strains synthesize two types of molecules that are antigenic different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of pH on bacterial porin function.
TL;DR: Porin is a trimeric channel-forming protein in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and the presence of two or more pH-dependent substates of porin could explain the variability in pore diameter measured by others and suggests a more dynamic role for porin in the cell.
