Florid osseous dysplasia. A clinical-pathologic study of thirty-four cases.

Thirty-four patients with florid osseous dysplasia were studied. The majority were asymptomatic Negro women: Seventeen biopsy-proven simple bone cysts were found in affected quadrants of fourteen patients. Radiographs displayed a spectrum of sclerotic and ground-glass opacities limited to alveolar processes but not to root apices.

Studies of substructure and tightly bound nucleotide in bacterial membrane ATPase.

Highly purified preparations of Streptococcus faecalis ATPase contain a similar but inactive protein detected by prolonged polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The inactive protein appears to arise by proteolytic cleavage of the major subunits in the enzyme. By use of a new technique, subunit analysis in SDS gels was performed on the enzyme band and the inactive protein band excised from a polyacrylamide gel after electrophoresis.
