Tertiary granules

Over the years, there have been numerous reports of oxidase preparations that contain polypeptide components, additional to those described above. As yet no molecular probes are available for these, and so their true association with the oxidase is unconfirmed. There are many reports in the literature describing the role of ubiquinone as an electron transfer component of the oxidase, but its involvement is controversial. Quinones (ubiquinone-10) have reportedly been detected in some neutrophil membrane preparations, but other reports have shown that neither plasma membranes, specific granules nor most oxidase preparations contain appreciable amounts of quinone, although some is found in either tertiary granules or mitochondria. Still other reports suggest that ubiquinone, flavoprotein and cytochrome b are present in active oxidase preparations. Thus, the role of ubiquinone and other quinones in oxidase activity is in doubt, but the available evidence weighs against their involvement. Indeed, the refinement of the cell-free activation system described above obviates the requirement for any other redox carriers for oxidase function.

Central/Tertiary structures The fish olfactory bulb is a fourlayered structure much as in higher vertebrates. Within the 2nd layer, the first synapse for olfactory input is on the dendrites of the mitral cells (MC). About 1000 ORN axons converge on one MC, a ratio similar to mammals. The MC output, from cells at various levels, leads into several glomeruli and receives (inhibitory) input from granule cells. The latter also innervate a distinct cell type in the MC layer of teleosts — the ruffed cells (RC), with which they have reciprocal synapses [Fig. 2.18(a)] both relay cells send ascending fibres to forebrain centres (Kosaka and Hama, 1982). The RC are unlike the MC since they are not stimulated by the ORNs directly. Their interactions (Chap. 5) may contribute to the processing of pheromonal stimuli (Zippel, 2000). The main bulbar pathways project to several nuclei in the forebrain via two ipsilateral tracts, the lateral and medial [Fig. 2.18(b)], the latter mediates sexual behaviour and the former probably other behaviours (Hara,... 

Commercially available cationic starches for wet end application are quaternary and tertiary products. These products have been available since about the mid 1950 s and no new basic chemistry has been developed since that time. The development in the late 1940 s and early 1950 s of starch ethers and esters made in the original granule form led to a torrent of starch derivatives for industrial use. Very few of these became commercial. This is possibly because the functions that were required by the industrial and food markets were far...

An important feature of packed DCRs is the need to pack the catalyst in a special way to ensure good flow, mass transfer, and contact characteristics. An example of this is the use of an ion-exchange resin catalyst (Amberlyst 15) in methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) manufacture. The bed consists of bags made in the form of a cloth belt with narrow pockets sewn across it (Figure 25.7). The pockets are filled with catalyst granules, and the belt is twisted into a helical form, referred to as a bale (see Smith, 1980, for details). Clearly, each pocket represents a closely packed bed of unconsolidated particles, and the pocket and the individual particles exhibit, respectively, their own distinctive macro- and microdiflfusional features. This is broadly similar to the particle-pellet model of a catalyst pellet (see Chapter 7) but with distinctly different pellet behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to define an overall effectiveness factor which takes this unique feature into account. An attempt to do this was recently reported (Xu...

When the p cell granules are excreted by exocytosis they contain not only insulin, but also equimolecular concentrations of C peptide. It is not known whether the C peptide has any special physiological function. The rate of mutation acceptance in its amino acid sequence is much higher than that for insulin suggesting that the main role of the polypeptide is in determining the tertiary structure of proinsulin.
