High impact information on methanol

  • With methanol-acetone fixation, required for the antibody reaction, the characteristically long mitochondria of human skin fibroblasts fragment into strings of beads, as identified by antibody staining in the light microscope and whole-mount electron microscopy [11].
  • However, these membranes require humid operating conditions, which limit the temperature of operation to less than 100 degrees C; they are also permeable to methanol and hydrogen, which lowers fuel efficiency [12].
  • Initial biochemical characterization of the target epitope reveals that it is a lipid present in chloroform/methanol extracts from perinatal retina and is sensitive to neuraminidase digestion [13].
  • Assimilation of ammonia via glutamate dehydrogenase is more energy-efficient than via glutamate synthase, thus the recombinant organism converts more growth substrate, methanol, into cellular carbon [2].
  • Prominent examples of flexibility are the use in denitrification of nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, and nitric oxide as alternative electron acceptors to oxygen and the ability to use C1 compounds (e.g., methanol and methylamine) as electron donors to the respiratory chains [14].

Gene context of methanol

  • Evidence of ongoing proliferative activity was documented in all 7 methanol-preserved specimens: 24.6+/-2.3% of SMCs were PCNA-positive, 24.8+/-3.1% were cyclin E-positive, and 22.5+/-2.2% were cdk2-positive [35].
  • PMP2 encodes a 43-amino acid polypeptide that can be extracted from the membrane with chloroform/methanol [36].
  • After induction with methanol, the medium contained approx, 40 and 400 mg/l of soluble recombinant Kre2p/Mnt1p and Ktr1p respectively [37].
  • For MRP recognized by MRPm6, the optimal fixation condition was acetone for 5 min at room temperature in immunocytochemistry, and methanol for 15 min at -20 degrees C in flow cytometry [38].
  • The relationship among protein oligomerization, secondary structure at the interface, and the interfacial behavior was investigated for spread layers of native pulmonary surfactant associated proteins B and C. SP-B and SP-C were isolated either from butanol or chloroform/methanol lipid extracts that were obtained from sheep lung washings [39].
