Optimization of methods to assess human mucosal T-cell responses to HIV infection (2003)
Shacklett, B L, Yang, O, Hausner, M A, Elliott, J, Hultin, L, Price, C, ...
The majority of HIV-1 infections occur via sexual transmission at mucosal epithelia lining the vagina, cervix or rectum. Mucosal tissues also serve as viral reservoirs. However, our knowledge of...
On the Kinematic Probability of Terminal Ballistics with Initial Dispersion. (1998)
The terminal ballistic dispersion of a non-rotational, small-caliber weapon system is obtained on a priori knowledge of the initial dispersion induced by the weapon system proper. The study considers...

Role of minimization of chemical distances between amino acids in the evolution of the genetic code.
The allocation of codons in the genetic code makes possible a moderate minimization of the chemical distances between pairs of neighboring amino acids in the code. However, the code is neither a...
Membership mutation of the genetic code: loss of fitness by tryptophan.
Bacillus subtilis strain QB928, a tryptophan-auxotroph, was serially mutated to yield strain HR15. For QB928, tryptophan functioned as a competent amino acid and 4-fluorotryptophan as merely an...
Soluble dextran-hemoglobin complex as a potential blood substitute.
Tam, S C, Blumenstein, J, Wong, J T
A complex between soluble dextran and human hemoglobin has been synthesized by two different methods. In the alkylation method, hemoglobin was allowed to react with bromoacetyl groups incorporated...
The tryptophan-auxotrophic Bacillus subtilis LC33 mutant strain utilizes either tryptophan or 4-fluorotryptophan for growth. Proteins therefore could be isolated from these cells in either...
A thermal-variation method for analysing the rate constants of the Michaelis--Menten mechanism.
Lin, S X, Chou, K C, Wong, J T
By analysing the variations of saturation velocity and Michaelis constant with temperature and invoking the mathematical constraint represented by the Arrhenius equation, it becomes possible to...
Validity of the jack-knife technique for analysing enzyme kinetic data.
An observation by Duggleby [Biochem. J. (1979) 181, 255-256] that estimates of kinetic parameters by the jack-knife technique [Cornish-Bowden & Wong (1978) Biochem. J. 175, 969--976] are sometimes...
Oxygen-binding and immunological properties of complexes between dextran and animal haemoglobins.
Cunnington, P G, Jenkins, S N, Tam, S C, Wong, J T
Complexes of dextran 20 000 with haemoglobins of sheep, rabbit, dog, bovine and human origin were prepared through alkylation of haemoglobin by N-bromoacetylaminoethylamino-dextran. The yields were...
Regulation of synthesis of ribosomal proteins during pyrimidine starvation in Escherichia coli.
Beatty, B G, Mak, W W, Wong, J T
The synthesis of ribosomal proteins during pyrimidine starvation was investigated. A progressive turn-off of protein synthesis, with a decay half-time of about 5 min, was observed when Escherichia...
Steady-state measurements of enzyme-catalysed reactions are capable of providing more information about the rate constants of the individual steps than is commonly obtained. We have applied a...
Tran, K, Wong, J T, Lee, E, Chan, A C, Choy, P C
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) selectively catalyses the release of arachidonic acid from the sn-2 position of glycero-phospholipids to produce prostaglandins and leukotrienes. In this study,...
