Toxicity of Dithiothreitol (DTT) to Drosophila melanogaster
The thiol-containing compound Dithiothreitol (DTT) has been shown to be toxic to cultured cells by inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species that ultimately cause cell death.

Sphingomyelinase activity at pH 7.4 in human brain and a comparison to activity at pH 5.0
A hitherto undescribed sphingomyelinase (sph'ase 7.4) of human brain has been studied in crude and partially purified (3- to 4- fold) extracts of grey matter, and compared to the known sphingomyelinase with an acid pH optimum (sph'ase 5.0).

Resolving crossmatch incompatibility due to daratumumab in multiple myeloma
Daratumumab (DARA) is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody which has promising results in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. DARA interferes with blood compatibility testing by causing panagglutination in the indirect antiglobulin test.

The Effects of Dithiothreitol on DNA [PDF]
With the novel possibilities for detecting molecules of interest with extreme sensitivity also comes the risk of encountering hitherto negligible sources of error. In life science, such sources of error might be the broad variety of additives such as dithiothreitol (DTT) used to preserve enzyme stability during in vitro reactions.

A feasible method to extract DNA from the cambium of high-canopy trees: from harvest to assessment [PDF]
Many tropical trees have high canopies and their leaves are not accessible. Thus, the use of tissue from a more accessible organ (cambium) for DNA extraction may be an alternative for molecular studies.

Properties and stabilization of an extracellular α-glucosidase from the extremely thermophilic archaebacteria Thermococcus strain AN 1: enzyme activity at 130°C [PDF]
An extracellular α-glucosidase from the thermophilic archaebacterium Thermococcus strain AN1 was purified 875-fold in five steps (Hiload Q-Sepharose, phenyl Sepharose, HPHT-hydroxyapatite, gel filtration and Mono Q chromatography) with a yield of 4%.

NsrR from Streptomyces coelicolor is a nitric oxide-sensing [4Fe-4S] cluster protein with a specialized regulatory function [PDF]
The Rrf2 family transcription factor NsrR controls expression of genes in a wide range of bacteria in response to nitric oxide (NO). The precise form of the NO-sensing module of NsrR is the subject of controversy because NsrR proteins containing either ...

DNA intercalation and cleavage of an antitumor antibiotic dynemicin that contains anthracycline and enediyne cores [PDF]
Dynemicin is a hybrid containing anthraquinone and enediyne cores, which contribute to binding and cleavage of DNA, respectively. DNA strand scission by the antitumor antibiotic is significantly enhanced by the addition of NADPH or thiol compounds.
