Figure 5B. Correlation of right-angle light scatter measured by fluorometry and flow cytometry. The top panel shows flow-cytometric data of side scatter of fixed, stained cells during the time course of stimulation by 1-nM (solid line, solid circles) or 0.01-nH (dashed line, open circle) FLPEP. The bottom panel shows the corresponding right-angle light-scatter data acquired pseudo-simultaneously on live cells in the fluorometer. The flow-cytometric data have been averaged, but the fluorometry data are plotted for both duplicates from one donor. Reproduced with permission from Ref. 27.

The NT-300 NMR spectrometer at Rockefeller University was purchased in part from funds from the National Science Foundation (PCM-7912083) and from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation. The WM-500 spectrometer is part of the Southern California Regional NMR Facility at Caltech and is supported by National Science Foundation Grant CHE-7916324. 

Shahrokh Saba was born in Tehran, Iran, studied at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, where he obtained his B.S. in 1970. He continued his education at the University of East Anglia and received his Ph.D. in 1974 under the direction of Prof. A. R. Katritzky. During 1975-79, he taught as an assistant professor at Azad University in Tehran. He moved to the United States in 1980, and after postdoctoral fellowships in 1980 (Prof. R. Breslow, Columbia University), 1981 (Prof. W. C. Agosta, Rockefeller University), and 1982-83 (Prof. N. O. Smith, Fordham University), he assumed a teaching position at Kean College of New Jersey in 1984. He returned to Fordham University in 1986 and took up his present position, and is currently an associate professor of chemistry. His scientific interests include all aspects of heterocyclic chemistry, and new uses of simple ammonium salts in organic synthesis.

Peck then became interested in sulfate-reducing bacteria, which he had got to know in Gest s laboratory. To study the reduction of sulfate. Peck worked in Fritz Lipmann s laboratory in Massachussetts General Hospital (1956) and with Lipmann at Rockefeller University (1957). Lipmann started work on active sulfate in 1954 with Helmut Hilz as a postdoctoral fellow and studied the activation of sulfate to APS and PAPS. Lipmann had left the active sulfate projects by 1957 and started, at Rockefeller University, the studies on protein synthesis. Peck published one paper on the reduction of sulfate with hydrogen in extracts of Desulfovibrio desul-furicans (1959) and one on APS as an intermediate on the oxidation of thiosulfate by Thiobacillus thioparus (1960).

One of the classical obesity mntations in mice is termed ob, for obesity. Mice that are homozygous for the ob mutation (ob/ob mice) are grossly obese. Jeffrey Friedman at the Rockefeller University elucidated the defect in ob/ob mice in 1992. Specifically, the ob gene encodes a protein termed leptin.Leptin is prodnced in fat tissue and acts on the central nervous system at the hypothalamus. Basically, it reports nutritional information to this control center.
