A lactate dehydrogenase isozyme designated "LDHk" has recently been described in cells transformed by the Kirsten murine sarcoma virus. Several unusual properties were felt to distinguish this LDH isozyme from previously described LDH isozymes. These properties include cathodic electrophoretic
A series of potentially bioreductive naphthoquinones were investigated for their effects on rat liver mitochondrial electron transport and energy transfer and their ability to inhibit Sarcoma 180 tumor cell respiration in vitro. It was found that all the naphthoquinones evaluated, inhibited tumor
Mitomycin C, a bioreductive alkylating agent with clinical utility against several human tumors, was found to be selectively toxic at a relatively low concentration (1.5 micro M) to EMT6 tumor cells made chronically hypoxic by preincubation in 95% N2-5% CO2 for 4 hr prior to drug exposure. This
In 1946, (14)C-cyanide made its appearance as an offshoot of the Atomic Energy Program. Our colleague Robert Loftfield built it into (14)C-alanine by the Strecker synthesis, and a lusty program directed toward uncovering the unknown mechanism of protein synthesis grew out of this beginning. The
A series of 3'-C-cyano-3'-deoxynucleosides have been synthesized and evaluated as antiviral agents. Reaction of 2',5'-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranos- 3'-ulosyl derivatives of uracil, 4-N-acetylcytosine, and adenine with sodium cyanide gave a mixture of epimeric
Mouse myeloma cells and mitochondria had the same kinds of cytochrome components in the respiratory chain as the normal ones. Their constitution, however, was abnormally different from that found in normal cells and mitochondria. The cytochrome aa3 concentration was especially low in the myeloma as
