[Glycine receptors in nervous tissue and their functional role].

The literature data on glycine metabolism in neural tissue, mitochondrial Gly-cleaving system, Gly-catching system in neural and glial cells are summarized. The peculiarities of localization and distribution of specific glycine receptors and binding-sites in nervous tissue of mammals are described. Four types of glycine-binding receptors are described: own specific glycine receptor (Gly-R), ionotropic receptor, which binds N-methyl-D-aspartate selectively (NMDA-R), and ionotropic receptors of g-aminobutyrate (GABA A -R, GABA С -R).

TiO2 nanoparticles suppress Escherichia coli cell division in the absence of UV irradiation in acidic conditions.

TiO(2) nanoparticles (NPs) activated by UV irradiation are known to have a bactericidal effect. In this study we report the details of TiO(2) NPs influence on the colony-forming capacity of E. coli in the dark at pH 4.

[Contribution of blue-green pigments to hemolytic activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultural fluid].

Aim: To assess the contribution of blue-green pigments of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to hemolytic activity of its cultural fluid. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Eight hospital strains and reference strain ATCC 15442 were used.

[Effects of biogenic phosphates on protease-induced protein cleavage and functioning of plasminogen activators].

We showed, using the method of lysis of fibrin plates and five substrate proteins in a thin layer of agar gel, that inorganic orthophosphate (0.001-0.06 M) enhances by 50-250% the activatory functions of streptokinase, urokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator and, in general, by 1.

[Effects of plasminogen and streptokinase on the vital functions of nervous tissue cells in culture].

In the protein-deficient media plasminogen stimulated the vital functions of cells and in concentrations 10(-7)-10(-10) M it protected cells of sympathetic ganglia, neocortex and continues cell lines under damaging actions of H2O2 (0.0001 M), NH4CI (0.01 M) and cooling.
