New immunodiagnostic systems.

Two new systems for homogeneous plasma protein immunoassays, the Behring Nephelometer System and the Behring TurbiTimeSystem, as well as the Behring ELISA System for heterogeneous enzyme immunoassays are described.

Studies on the active center of D- and L-lactate dehydrogenases using oxamate-diaminohexyl-Sepharose affinity chromatography.

Vertebrate and invertebrate L-lactate dehydrogenases (L-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) are effectively bound to oxamate-diaminohexyl-Sepharose, whereas several D-lactate dehydrogenases (D-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.28) do not bind to the same Sepharose. One explanation for our findings is that the enzymes' substrate is oriented in a reversed manner in the active center of the D- and L-lactate dehydrogenases.

Search for millimeter microwave effects on enzyme or protein functions.

Recent observations of nonthermal, resonant biological responses to weak millimeter microwave irradiation have led us to investigate whether similar influences exist on enzymatic functions in vitro. We chose (i) the reduction of ethanol in the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase and (ii) the cooperative binding of oxygen on hemoglobin. Using an irradiation intensity near 10 mW/cm2 the frequency was continuously varied from 40 to 115 GHz with a resolution of a few MHz. No microwave influences were detectable within our experimental sensitivity of about 0.1% of the reaction rate in (i), or of the amount of bound oxygen at half saturation in (ii).
