Inactivation of Oxygen Evolution by Low pH-Treatment of Two Rice Photosystem II Preparations Containing One and Two Bound Ca2+
Ca2+ is considered to function as a cofactor of PS II electron transport [1]. Oxygen-evolving PS II membranes prepared with Triton X-100 from higher plants contain two Ca2+ per PS II [2–4.] except for wheat prepa...

Spectrophotometric determination of pyrrole-like substances in urine of rat and man: An assay for the evaluation of 2,5-hexanedione formed fromn-hexane
Male Wistar rats exposed to atmosphericn-hexane excreted in their urine substances which gave rise to absorption spectra like those of pyrroles after the reaction with Ehrlich's reagent. A simple spectrophometric...
