Because there was urgent demand for the new fully molded facepieces, the CWS provided only three sizes of molds for its manufacturers. These molds were based on fitting tests on a limited number of workers at Edgewood Arsenal. Variation in the manufacturers molds made it possible to fit 90 percent of the troops with the so-called universal size, and large and small sizes were provided for special cases. Their wearability was confirmed in tests on more than a thousand soldiers at Camp Edwards, Mass. Difficulties in tooling for the production of these facepieces precluded further changes. 

Who knows Antony smiled a little thinly, but not, I thought, at the insult to Henry of Lancaster. It is said that Edward has got children of his own already. What I have seen at York... It would not surprise me. He shrugged, as if to rid himself of the odor of Edward s camp, the disgust that still lingered in his nostrils. 

This protein kinase (known as protein kinase A or PK-A) has an R2C2 quaternary structure that binds 3, 5 -cAMP at its dimeric regulatory (R) subunit with resultant release of two catalytic (C) subunits. The free energy of hydrolysis of the cychc nucleotide activator is large (AG 13 kcal/mol) and allows the 3, 5 -cAMP to be virtually irreversibly converted to AMP by the action of a specific phosphodiesterase. This protein kinase, originally discovered by the Nobelists Edwin Krebs and Edward Fischer, is now considered to be the prototype for over two thousand members of the protein kinase superfamily. 

Any of a broad class of phosphoryl-transfer enzymes [EC 2.7.1.x] that catalyze the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of proteins, most often occurring at seryl, threo-nyl, and tyrosyl residues. These enzymes are central participants in cellular signal transduction pathways, and their discovery and recognition as primary control components of the cell culminated in the award of the 1992 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology to American enzymologists Edwin Krebs and Edward Fischer. There is reason to believe that approximately 2% of the coding sequences in the human genome specify some 2000 different kinases that phosphorylate protein substrates. The prototypical enzyme is known as 3, 5 -cAMP-stimulated protein kinase (or, protein kinase A). See specific protein kinase...
