Binding of Triton X-100 to bovine serum albumin as studied by surface tension measurements.

A previously published computerized drop-weight technique for surface tension measurements, not involving the use of radioactively labelled compounds, has been applied to the study of detergent binding to proteins. The procedure is based on the observation that the protein-surfactant complex is no longer surface-active. As an example, the binding of Triton X-100 to bovine serum albumin has been studied, and the results were found to be in good agreement with those obtained through established but less convenient methods. Our procedure should be useful for measurements of detergent binding to biomembranes.

[Bilateral epidural psoas abscess simulating bilateral proximal diabetic plexopathy].

We describe a diabetic woman with an epidural abscess and associated bilateral psoas abscesses which simulated the clinical course of diabetic bilateral proximal plexopathy. We emphasize three aspects: 1) the rarity of associated epidural abscess and bilateral psoas abscesses, 2) the rarity of the germ isolated (Streptococcus bovis), and 3) the diagnostic difficulties when both processes are associated, particularly in patients with an underlying disease that may simulate other common, clinical pictures.
