Cenozoic Basaltic Rocks in Eastern China
Cenozoic basalts are widespread in eastern China (Fig. 1). Although very few petrographic and chemical studies of these basalts were published before 1960 (Yin, 1933, 1937; Zhao, 1956;) Yen, 1957), a considera...

A novel purification of ferric citrate receptor (FecA) from Escherichia coli UT5600 and further characterization of its binding activity
In our earlier paper, it was demonstrated that the FecA receptor protein from Escherichia coli UT5600/pBB2 (leu −, proC −, trpE −, entA −, rpsl −, Δ(ompT-fepA)−/Ampr, fepA) binds with ferric enterobactin. In orde...

Binding characterization of the iron transport receptor from the outer membrane of Escherichia coli (FepA): differentiation between FepA and FecA
The dissociation constants for the binding of ferric enterobactin with FepA and FecA are quantitated with displacement experiments. It is found that K d for FepA is 12 times lower than the one for FecA. This indi...
