Abstract

A very simple controller has been built which allows a laboratory computer to drive a stepping motor stage and focus axis motor of a research light microscope. Its cost is minimal; negligible in comparison to the controllers offered by the microscope manufactures. A subroutine has been written to enable the programmer to control the microscope easily. The controller has been installed in the UNC neuron reconstruction system and functions very well.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
