The procedure is based on the principle that two digital radiographic images obtained under different time intervals, with the same projection geometry, are spatially and densitometrically aligned using specific software. When the two images are registered and intensities of corresponding pixels are subtracted of the gray scale values, a uniform difference image is produced, resulting in a new image representing the differences between the two, called the subtraction image. In this new image, if there is a change in the radiographic attenuation between the baseline and follow-up examination, all the anatomical structures that do not change between radiographs are shown as neutral gray background, while regions that had mineral loss or gain are shown as a darker or brighter area, respectively... 1, record 1, English, - digital%20subtraction%20radiography

The C-terminal amino acid of peptides can be reduced with lithium borohydride to the corresponding [alpha]-amino alcohol. If the peptide chain is then completely hydrolyzed, the hydrolyzate will contain one molecule of an [alpha]-amino alcohol corresponding to the original C-terminal amino acid. This can be easily identified by chromatographic methods; all the other residues will be found as free amino acids. Another important procedure is hydrazinolysis, which cleaves all the peptide bonds by converting all except the C-terminal amino acid residues into hydrazides. The C-terminal residue appears as a free amino acid, which can be readily identified chromatographically. 1, record 8, English, - free%20amino%20acid

Pour identifier l'aminoacide N-terminal d'un peptide, on dispose de trois méthodes : l'une d'elles utilise la réaction de Sanger. Les fonctions non protonisées [alpha]-aminées des amino-acides et peptides réagissent avec le 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzène pour former des dérivés jaunes, les 2,4-DNP-peptides. Lorsque ces 2,4-DNP-peptides sont soumis à une hydrolyse acide, on obtient l'hydrolysat contenant tous les résidus de la chaîne peptidique sous forme d'amino-acides libres, à l'exception de l'aminoacide N-terminal qui sera présent sous forme d'un 2,4-dinitrophényl-dérivé. 2, record 8, French, - acide%20amin%C3%A9%20libre

Microbial enzymes are more useful than enzymes derived from plants or animals because of the great variety of catalytic activities available, because cheap, regular, abundant supplies of even quality can usually be developed, occasionally by surface culture but usually by the deep culture aerobic fermentation techniques widely used in the production of antibiotics; also because microbial enzymes are usually more stable than the corresponding plant and animal enzymes, and because microbial enzyme production is usually a more convenient and safer procedure than production from plant and animal sources. 3, record 9, English, - microbial%20enzyme

En ce qui concerne le clonage d'enzymes microbiennes, l'impact du génie génétique reste encore à préciser. Le microorganisme recombiné génétiquement est en concurrence avec les mutants, qui peuvent être performants au plan de l'excrétion; le différentiel de performance risque d'être faible. Un cas mérite toutefois d'être signalé, celui de l'alpha amylase maltogénique thermostable de Bacillus stearothermophilus. Le gène de cette enzyme a été cloné et s'exprime dans B. subtilis.
