1H-NMR study of reduced heme proteins myoglobin and cytochrome P450.

The 1H-NMR spectra of deoxymyoglobin and reduced cytochrome P450 are analyzed by NOE spectroscopy. Progress has been made in the assignment of the hyperfine-shifted signals of deoxymyoglobin. The nuclear longitudinal-relaxation-time values indicate short electron-relaxation times whereas Curie relaxation contributes significantly to the signals linewidths. For reduced cytochrome P450 the linewidths are larger due to the Curie-relaxation contribution in a large protein. Therefore, the spectral information is poor. The electron-relaxation rates are discussed in terms of possible electronic structure.

[Quantitative study and typization of aerobic bacteria in the conjunctival sacs of healthy eyes].

We carried out a qualitative and quantitative bacteriological research into the conjunctives of 220 subjects in good health mostly women (180) exempt from recent or previous eyes diseases. In order to gather conjunctival bacteria we employed with a few variations Hadley's et al. (1973 [12]) method. Among the calculated bacterial flora we found as the most numerous ones Staphylococcus epidermidis (mean valor 1960/ml), then Streptococci (480/ml), Micrococci (465/ml), Diphteroides (360/ml), Enterococci (77/ml) and numerous (700/ml) Gram-positives Cocci like Sarcina, Micrococcus tetragenes, Diplococcus, and very rarely bacterial genera Gram-negatives or Iphomycetes, also numerically inferior as regards the researches of other Authors, because owen study is carried by into eyes exempt from diseases.

[Quantitative bacterial ecology of normal nasal mucosa].

A quantitative research into the aerobic bacteria of human nasal cavities has been carried out; 183 healthy individuals observed, negative results 18 (9.83%). Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria, were numerically determined and the incidence of each single species or genus exactly specified. Among gram-negative bacteria, Enterobacter, Providencia, Proteus, Citrobacter freundii, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Serratia, Herella, Pseudomonas, and among the Hyphomycetes, Candida albicans have been identified and their number calculated. Diphteroid bacteria were also detected and counted; among them, the Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum seemed to be the most frequent and numerous species. Finally, interference phenomena in vivo by Staphylococcus aureus and environmental and nourishment competition by Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus and Diphtheroids were noted.
