Sulphureous


Definition:

  • (4) The use of sulphur-containing amino acids and 2-deoxyglucose in growth media led to impaired cell wall synthesis and rendered cells very susceptible to treatment with mercapto-ethanol and various lytic enzymes.
  • (5) The molecular mass (5988 Da) of the native rubredoxin has been measured by electrospray-ionization m.s., thus establishing the applicability of the technique to this type of iron-sulphur protein.

  • (7) N-Methylformamide extracts of acid-treated precipitated VFe protein of the V-nitrogenase of Azotobacter chroococcum are yellow-brown in colour and contain vanadium, iron and acid-labile sulphur in the approximate proportions 1:6:5.
  • (8) Here we show that a farnesyl moiety is attached to a sulphur atom of the C-terminal cysteine of T gamma-2 (active form), a part of which is additionally methyl-esterified at the alpha-carboxyl group.
  • (9) Erabutoxin a was partially hydrolysed with enzymes and sulphuric acid and the resulting peptides were separated from each other by column chromatography and paper electrophoresis.
  • (10) NADH:ubiquinone reductase, the respiratory chain complex I of mitochondria, consists of some 25 nuclear-encoded and seven mitochondrially encoded subunits, and contains as redox groups one FMN, probably one internal ubiquinone and at least four iron-sulphur clusters.
  • (11) Bacteria of the genus Thiobacillus can obtain energy from the chemolithotrophic oxidation of inorganic sulphur and its compounds (sulphide, thiosulphate and polythionates) and use this energy to support autotrophic growth on carbon dioxide.
  • (12) Bacteriophage mu2 is inactivated by both mono- and di-functional sulphur mustards at relatively low extents of alkylation.
  • (13) The study of amino acid pattern shows that sulphur containing amino acids are limiting to almost the same degree in meat and meat soy blend.
  • (14) In a case in which ovarian biopsy at laparotomy revealed typical actinomycotic "sulphur granules" and Actinomyces israelii was diagnosed, standard Actinomyces israelii cytoplasmic antigens and circulating C1-binding immune complexes were found in the patient's serum when it was tested by counterimmunoelectrophoresis.
  • (15) Experiments were performed in a cylinder full of beads open at one end and closed at the other in which a mixture of oxygen with helium or argon or sulphur hexafluoride could diffuse with ambient air through the open end.
  • (16) The results obtained indicated that both the sulphydration and trans-sulphuration pathways were operating.
  • (17) This effect may add to other factors decreasing sulphur availability in critically ill patients, and simultaneous administration of thiosulphate is therefore recommended to ensure a safe SNP treatment during and after coronary bypass operations.
  • (18) (4) There is no specific therapy for poisoning by sulphur mustard.
  • (19) Among various acetylated proteins, proteins insoluble in 0.1m-sulphuric acid have the highest radioactivity.
  • (20) Desulfovibrio africanus ferredoxin III is a monomeric protein (Mr 6585) containing seven cysteine residues and 7-8 iron atoms and 6-8 atoms of acid-labile sulphur.

Sulphurous


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to sulphur.
  • (a.) Derived from, or containing, sulphur; specifically, designating those compounds in which the element has a lower valence as contrasted with the sulphuric compounds.
  • (a.) Having the characteristic odor of sulphur dioxide, or of hydrogen sulphide, or of other sulphur compounds.
