  • (13) Thus, ETF appears to contain one flavin (at least 90% FAD, by chromatographic and fluorescence characteristics) per 26,000 M-r, and therefore may be composed of two subunits with one flavin each.
  • (14) Microcoulometric titrations of NADH:nitrate reductase at 25 degrees C in Mops buffer, pH 7.0, showed that the native enzyme, containing functional FAD, haem and Mo, required addition of five electrons for complete reduction.
  • (15) An automated AutoAnalyzer method using 5:5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid is described for determining whole blood glutathione reductase (BGR) activity and for measuring in vitro activation of BGR with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).
  • (16) The kinetic course of the reaction of methanol and deutero-methanol with FAD-dependent alcohol oxidase was investigated under single-turnover conditions [kred approximately equal to 15000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 4300 min-1 (2H3COH)] and multiple-turnover conditions [TNmax approximately equal to 6000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 3100 min-1 (2H3COH)].
  • (17) It had been shown that thyroxine regulates the conversion of riboflavin to riboflavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in laboratory animals.
  • (18) The value of P of the enzyme is dependent on its concentration, indicating that the degrees of dissociation of FAD in the monomer and dimer are different.
  • (19) We now provide evidence for a major early onset FAD locus on the long arm of chromosome 14 near the markers D14S43 and D14S53 (multipoint lod score z = 23.4) and suggest that the inheritance of FAD may be more complex than had initially been suspected.
  • (20) Thus, the low activity resulting from an inherited deficiency of FAD is decreased further.

Lad


Definition:

  • () p. p. of Lead, to guide.

  • (n.) A companion; a comrade; a mate.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Most patients had obstruction or severe stenosis of the proximal LAD coronary artery together with a poor runoff as demonstrated angiographically.
  • (6) LAD to LCCA collaterals serve as functionally significant bidirectional perfusion conduits, and monitoring of collateral perfusion development is practical by measuring the step reduction in LCCA flow upon abrupt release of an LAD occlusion.
  • (7) In a forth patient with occulsion of the LAD, there was no response to intracoronary NTG and mechanical recanalization was not attempted.
  • (8) In addition, Northern analysis of mRNA expression also demonstrated that the transfected LAD patient cells were expressing high quantities of exogenous beta subunit mRNA.
