THE BACTERIAL OXIDATION OF NICOTINIC ACID [PDF]
N-Formylmaleamic acid, a probable intermediate in the bacterial metabolism of nicotinic acid, has been synthesized by photoisomerization of its transisomer, N-formylfumaramic acid. The compound previously reported to be N-formylmaleamic acid has been shown to be N-formylfumaramic acid.

A New Method for the Determination of Nucleic Acid Using an Eu3+– nicotinic Acid Complex as a Resonance Light Scattering Probe [PDF]
This study found that in Tris-HCl buffer, the resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity of the Eu3+-nicotinic acid system can be greatly enhanced by nucleic acids and the enhanced intensity is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acid in the ...

Abstract An enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydroxylation of nicotinic acid to 6-hydroxynicotinic acid has been purified from extracts of a nicotinic acid-fermenting clostridium. The enzyme appears to be a flavin adenine dinucleotide-containing non-heme iron protein and utilizes triphosphopyridine nucleotide as the ultimate electron acceptor.

Solution thermodynamics of aqueous nicotinic acid solutions in presence of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate [PDF]
In this study we investigated the effects of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate (Bu4NHSO4) on the solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions in the aqueous solutions of nicotinic acid in terms of apparent molar volumes (φV), standard partial ...

Arachidonic Acid as a Possible Negative Feedback Inhibitor of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors on Neurons [PDF]
Neuronal acetylcholine receptors, being highly permeable to calcium, are likely to regulate calcium-dependent events in neurons. Arachidonic acid is a membrane-permeant second messenger that can be released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipases ...
