A possible link between intelligence level and habituation of the GSR.

An attempt was made to correlate the intelligence level of three well-defined groups (Gifted, IQ 140; Normal, 95 IQ 105: Mentally retarded, 45 IQ 55) and the habituation rate and pattern of a GSR response to a series of light stimuli. The results indicate that the gifted and normal groups yield systematic patterns of GSR responding in contrast to the mentally retarded, whose distribution of GSR response pattern differs. The mentally retarded seem to yeild a larger number of ill-defined, non-systematic GSR responses. These results indicate a possible link between the measured level of intelligence by IQ test and the habituation pattern in an autonomic nervous system response.

[Determination of the primary structure of alfalfa mosaic virus (strain S) coat protein. II. Complete sequence of the protein (author's transl)].

The alfalfa mosaic virus protein was submitted to the action of cyanogen bromide. Four peptides were isolated. Study of these peptides allowed us to determine the order. Then protein was submitted, after S-carboxymethylation or S-aminoethylation, to the action of different proteolytic enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and papain. The peptides issued from these different hydrolysis were separated on Dowex 50 X4 and Dowex 1 X2, and their amino acid composition was determined. The use of classical methods of sequence determination, of mass spectrometry and for one case the use of a sequencer, lead to the obtention of the primary structure of all the tryptic peptides. The studies of chymotryptic, thermolytic and papainic hydrolysates, and of cyanogen bromide rupture, allowed us to isolate the overlapping peptides which were necessary for the reconstitution of the complete proteic chain.

Studies on the species, amount and base composition of nucleic acids in psoriatic scales and normal horny layer.

The amount of RNA as well as DNA is considerably increased in psoriatic scales as compared with normal horny layer; RNA was characterized as a low-molecular tRNA; as concerns the base composition of DNA, no particularities in comparison with other DNA species were found, and the base composition of tRNA revealed that cytosine and guanosine are in excess; pseudouridine could not be detected in psoriatic tRNA.
