Glyoxalase I of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum: evidence for subunit fusion.

abstract：:Mouse interferon (alpha + beta) given to mice by intraperitoneal injection suppressed both the accumulation of putrescine and stimulation of DNA synthesis in liver caused by partial hepatectomy. The suppression of DNA synthesis was completely reversed by exogenous putrescine. The same results were obtained when core 2...
