Dechanneling of 2 Mev Heâ ½ in gold
Thick gold single crystals of high quality were prepared for
Rutherford Backscattering Dechanneling studies by electropolishing and
annealing. The variation.; with temperature of the Random Fraction
versus Depth spectrtnn for 2 MeV He+ on < 110> gold was extracted from
measured Aligned and Random (Energy) Spectra. The measured dechanneling
rate showed a sixfold increase in going from 4loK to 293°K and is in
reasonable agreement with calculations made using the Steady Increase in
Transverse Ener
Comparative study of bovine heart and bacillus subtilis cytochrome c oxidase vesicles and the influe
Studies on the steady state behavior of soluble cytochrome c oxidase are
extensive. These studies have examined the influence of ionic strength and pH
and may provide answers to questions such as the link between proton
translocation and charge separation. The present study examined the influence
of external bulk pH on ApH formation, biphasic kinetics, and steady state
reduction of cytochromes c and a of cytochrome c oxidase in proteoliposomes.
Bulk pH has an appreciable effect on ApH formation
