It has been developed a receipt of a new treatment-and-prophylactic products based on fish farce with treatment-and-prophylactic additive--DNA. It is recommended to be produced. As biological active additive keeps its initial pharmacological characteristics under technological processing this product is recommended for rendering general effect and increasing of physical and mental activity of organism.

[The gas trophicity of pathogenic bacteria].

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Listeria have been shown to be capable of assimilating carbon dioxide from the air and using its carbon for the synthesis of biopolymers of the bacterial cell. These microorganisms, the causative agents of saprozoonotic infections, have also been found to be capable of assimilating molecular nitrogen from the air in small amounts. The data on the influence of the growth conditions of the cultures (hydrogen concentration, the presence of carbon dioxide and oxygen, temperature) on the activity of acetylene reduction by microbial cells.

It is the first time when the substrate specificity is considered as a complex phenomenon, taking into account an influence of substrate structure on the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis and interaction of cholinesterases with reversible and irreversible inhibitors. Kinetic parameters of hydrolysis of 18 esters, including choline, ammonium and indophenol derivates, are presented, as affected by cholinesterase from optical ganglia of pacific squid Todarodes pacificus, by acetylcholinesterase from human erythrocytes and by butyrylcholinesterase from horse serum.

[The interaction of organosilicon bisammonium compounds with the cholinesterases of Far-Eastern squids and vertebrates. The comparative enzymological, kinetic and conformational aspects].

The research of interaction of cholinesterases from human erythrocytes, horse blood serum, brain of the frog Rana temporaria, optical ganglia of the Pacific squid Todarodes pacificus, as well as optical ganglia of specimens of the Comandor squid Berryteuthis magister from different areas in the Bering sea with 13 organosilicon bis (trimethylammonium) compounds (silane and siloxane rows) as reversible cholinesterase inhibitors have been first studied and generalized. Calculations of the effector structure using the method of theoretical conformational analysis showed higher rigidity of interonium chain of siloxane derivatives and gave grounds to accept the asymmetry of hydrate envelope for these compounds. The data of conformational and kinetic analysis allowed to propose that specificity of antienzymic effect of organosilicon compounds was mainly due to conformational flexibility of interonium chain and the nature of hydration of effector molecule.
