Baehr, Wolfgang | Calcium-sensitive particulate guanylyl cyclase as a modulator of cAMP in olfactory receptor neurons | The second messengers cAMP and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate have been implicated in olfaction in various species. The odorant-induced cGMP response was investigated using cilia preparations and olfactory primary cultures. Odorants cause a delayed and sustained elevation of cGMP. A component of this c... | Calcium-Binding Proteins; Nerve Tissue Proteins; Rats, Sprague-Dawley | 1998 |

Baehr, Wolfgang; Zhang, Kang; Kolb, Helga | Gene array and expression of mouse retina guanylate cyclase activating proteins 1 and 2 | PURPOSE: To identify gene arrangement, chromosomal localization, and expression pattern of mouse guanylate cyclase activating proteins GCAP1 and GCAP2, retina-specific Ca2+-binding proteins, and photoreceptor guanylate cyclase activators. METHODS: The GCAP1 and GCAP2 genes were cloned from genomic l... | Molecular Sequence Data; Guanylate Cyclase-Activating Proteins; In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence | 1998 |

Fu, Yingbin | Mechanism of reductive activation of potato tuber ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. | The potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity is activated by a incubation with ADP-glucose and dithiothreitol or by ATP, glucose- 1-phosphate, Ca2+, and dithiothreitol. The activation was accompanied by the appearance of new sulfhydryl groups as determined with 5, 5... | Glucosephosphates; Enzyme Activation; Adenosine Triphosphate | 1998 |

Bernstein, Paul S.; Gellermann, Werner | Raman detection of macular carotenoid pigments in intact human retina | PURPOSE: To develop and test a novel noninvasive optical technique suitable for the objective measurement of macular carotenoid levels in human retina. METHODS: A resonance Raman scattering apparatus was constructed to measure carotenoid levels in flat-mounted human retinas and eyecups and in experi... | Rana pipiens; Spectrum Analysis, Raman; Xanthophylls | 1998 |

Normann, Richard A.; Shah, Maulik R. | Study of printed spiral coils for neuroprosthetic transcranial telemetry applications | We have explored the use of printed spiral coils (PSC's) for neuroprosthetic transcranial telemetry applications. We fabricated two-dimensional PSC's on a thin (25 microns) polyimide substrate using copper (35 microns) as a conducting material. All the coils had a fixed inner diameter of 1.0 cm.
