(6) Lower lip perturbation duration was manipulated to yield two different load conditions.
(7) The role of the Golgi complex in the post-translational oligosaccharide maturation of alpha-amylase was explored by use of the carboxylic ionophore, monensin (10(-7)M), a known perturbant of the structure and function of the Golgi complex.
(8) The importance of the ionic interaction due to the formation of the salt bridge between the Asp-27 and the pteridine ring in Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase-methotrexate complex has been studied by using the free-energy perturbation method.
(9) Presence of the monosynaptic reflex during platform perturbations at normal latencies suggests that balance problems in children with Down syndrome do not result from hypotonia, which researchers have defined as decreased segmental motoneuron pool excitability and pathology of stretch reflex mechanisms, but rather result from defects within higher level postural mechanisms.
