Studies on the binding of methylmercury by thionein.

TL;DR: Methylmercury, in contrast to Hg++ and Cd++, was found to have a low affinity for the metal-free form of metallothionein isolated from horse kidney, which appears to have no significant role in the detoxification or body distribution of methylMERcury except to scavenge HG++ formed by the slow biotransformation of methylmercuries in the body.

Intestinal response to 1α,25,dihydroxycholecalciferol II. A timed study of the intracellular localization of calcium binding protein

TL;DR: It is concluded that both young cells at the base of the villus and more mature cells atThe villus tip are capable of calcium binding protein synthesis, but the young cells respond much faster than the cell migration rate.

Induction of Metallothionein in HeLa Cells by Dexamethasone and Zinc

TL;DR: Zn2+ and dexamethasone appear to induce metallothionein synthesis in HeLa cells by mechanisms independent of one another, indicating that the two inducers work through independent mechanisms.

Estimation of the molecular weights of proteins by Sephadex gel-filtration.

P Andrews
- 01 May 1964 - 
TL;DR: The results are similar to those of previous studies, where the objective was to establish a cause-and-effect relationship, rather than a straightforward relationship between the number of cells and the content of the molecule.

The gel-filtration behaviour of proteins related to their molecular weights over a wide range

P Andrews
- 01 Sep 1965 - 
TL;DR: Correlation between elution volume, V(e), and molecular weight was investigated for gel filtration of proteins of molecular weights ranging from 3500 (glucagon) to 820000 (alpha-crystallin) on Sephadex G-200 columns at pH7.5.
