PECULIARITIES OF DETERMINATION OF COMPOSITION OF THE SOLID SOLUTIONS OF THE BIVALENT METALS HYDRATED DIPHOSPHATES... 

Questions of the analytic control of maintenance of the bivalent metals cations to their joint presence in materials of diverse fixing always were actual. A simultaneous presence in their composition of two cations with like descriptions makes analysis by sufficiently complicated process. Determination of composition still more complicates, if analyzed object is a solid solution, in which side by side with pair of cations (for example, Mg " -Co ", Mn -Co, Zn -Co ) attends diphosphate anion. Their analysis demands for individual approach to working of methods using to each concrete cations pair. 

In report discuss the methodical aspects determination of magnesium, manganese, cobalt, zinc to their joint presence in nitric, sulphuric, chloric salts, and peculiarity of the analysis using to solid solutions of the hydrated diphosphates. 

Concentration limits of the diphosphate-ion, admissible to determination of magnesium and cobalt, manganese and cobalt, zinc and cobalt by spectrophotometric method with application of the l-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR) are presented. Exceeding maintenance of the diphosphate-ion higher admissible supposes a preliminary its separation on the anionite in the H+-form. The optimum conditions of cobalt determination and amount of the PAR, necessary for its full fastening are established on foundation of dependence of optical density of the cobalt complex with PAR from concentration Co + and pH (buffer solutions citrate-ammoniac and acetate-ammoniac). 

In report separately discuss the peculiarities of determination of the anion composition of the solid solutions, that conditioned by ability of diphosphate anion to destruction in water solutions. In given concrete case by most acceptable method of control of the diphosphate anion in the hydrated solid solutions is a traditional method of the quantitative chromatography on the paper. Methodical ways which providing of minimum destruction of the diphosphate anion in the time of preparation of the model to analysis (translation in soluble condition) and during quantitative determination of the P.,0, anion are considered.

The diagnosis of PK deficiency depends on the determination of quantitative enzyme activity or qualitative abnormalities of the enzyme. In 1979, the International Committee for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) established methods for the biochemical characterization of red blood cell PK variants (M22). Since the establishment of these methods, many PK-deficient cases have been characterized, including 13 cases of homozygous PK deficiency. Residual red blood cell PK activity is not usually associated with phenotypic severity,whereas enzymatic characteristics such as decreased substrate affinity, thermal instability, or impaired response to the allosteric activator fructose-1,6-diphosphate (F-1,6-DP) correspond to a more severe phenotype. 

The stabilization of the radical cation by forming a polaron is a trade-off between its delocalization and the energy required to distort the DNA structure. The former lowers the kinetic energy of the intrinsically quantum mechanical migrating radical cation, and the latter will be determined by factors that are independent of specific base sequence, such as the force constants of bonds in the sugar diphosphate backbone. 

Critics of such experiments may And the concentration of reducing gases too high. It is, however, possible that there were localized areas on Earth where conditions were more strongly reducing for short periods (e.g., after volcanic eruptions). In the search for potential prebiotic syntheses of condensed phosphates, Keefe and Miller (1996) allowed a series of condensation agents to act on o-phosphate or tripolyphosphate, and determined the yields of diphosphate and trimetaphosphate obtained. 

Parkhurst et al. [79] described a high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of primaquine and its metabolites from plasma and urine samples, utilizing acetonitrile deproteinization, and direct injection onto a cyano column. Levels of 100 ng/mL per 20 pL injection could be quantitated. Preliminary pharmacokinetic analysis is reported for two human subjects after oral doses of 60 90 mg primaquine diphosphate. Two apparent plasma metabolites and two possible urinary metabolites are also reported.

Yoshimura et al. [132] studied the pharmacokinetics of primaquine in calves of 180—300 kg live weight. The drug was injected at 0.29 mg/kg (0.51 mg/kg as primaquine diphosphate) intravenously or subcutaneously and the plasma concentrations of primaquine and its metabolite carboxyprimaquine were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The extrapolated concentration of primaquine at zero time after the intravenous administration was 0.5 0.48 pg/mL which decreased with an elimination half-life of 0.16 0.07 h. Primaquine was rapidly converted to carboxyprimaquine after either route of administration. The peak concentration of carboxyprimaquine was 0.5 0.08 pg/mL at 1.67 0.15 h after intravenous administration. The corresponding value was 0.47 0.07 pg/mL at 5.05 1.2 h after subcutaneous administration. The elimination half-lives of carboxyprimaquine after intravenous and subcutaneous administration were 15.06 0.99 h and 12.26 3.6 h, respectively. 

Similarly, specific catalysts called enzymes are important factors in determining what reactions occur at an appreciable rate in biological systems. For example, adenosine triphosphate is thermodynamically unstable in aqueous solution with respect to hydrolysis to adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate. Yet this reaction proceeds very slowly in the absence of the specific enzyme adenosine triphosphatase. This combination of thermodynamic control of direction and enzyme control of rate makes possible the finely balanced system that is a hving cell. 

To validate the method, we applied PLIMSTEX to determine the binding constants (Xa), stoichiometry (1 protein to n ligands), and the protection against H/D exchange in various interactions. We chose as tests the binding of Mg to gua-nosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound human ras protein, of Ca + to apo calmodulin...
