Selected Publications


Lumenal sites and C terminus accessibility of the skeletal muscle calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor).

Journal Article The Journal of biological chemistry · May 1995 The membrane topology of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) was investigated using site-directed antibodies directed against amino acid sequences 2804-2930, 4581-4640, 4860-4886, and 4941-5037. Ab(2804-2930) bound with identical affinity to eith ... Full text Cite

The effects of lipid composition on the binding of lasalocid A to small unilamellar vesicles.

Journal Article Biochimica et biophysica acta · September 1990 The binding of the carboxylic ionophore lasalocid A (X537A) to small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles of varying composition was examined in an effort to determine what structural features of the phospholipid membrane influence the ionophore-membrane inte ...

Interaction of the antifolate antibiotic trimethoprim with phosphatidylcholine membranes: a 13C and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance study.

Journal Article Molecular pharmacology · May 1988 The interaction of the bacterial dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor trimethoprim with small unilamellar 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine vesicles was studied using 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy. In an effort to determine whether trimethoprim pa ... Cite

Rhodamine 123 as a probe of transmembrane potential in isolated rat-liver mitochondria: spectral and metabolic properties.

Journal Article Biochimica et biophysica acta · July 1986 The spectral and metabolic properties of Rhodamine 123, a fluorescent cationic dye used to label mitochondria in living cells, were investigated in suspensions of isolated rat-liver mitochondria. A red shift of Rhodamine 123 absorbance and fluorescence occ ... Full text Cite

Thermodynamic limits to the ATP/site stoichiometries of oxidative phosphorylation by rat liver mitochondria.

Journal Article The Journal of biological chemistry · March 1984 From measurements of reactants, products, and the oxidation-reduction state of cytochrome c + c1 during 3-hydroxybutyrate-supported oxidative phosphorylation by rat liver mitochondria at static head (state 4), we determined the free energy change of ATP fo ...

Separation of two thyrotropin binding components from porcine thyroid tissue by affinity chromatography: characterization of high and low affinity sites.

Journal Article Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · April 1982 Two distinct thyrotropin (TSH) binding species have been separated from solubilized porcine thyroid membranes. Membranes was solubilized with 1% Triton X-100, and the supernatant was recovered by centrifugation at 105,000 X g. Scatchard analysis of thyrotr ... Full text Cite
