Recombinant human CNTF receptor alpha: production, binding stoichiometry, and characterization of its activity as a diffusible factor.

abstract：:Cytochrome b(561) in adrenal chromaffin vesicle membranes conveys electron equivalents from extravesicular ascorbate to the intravesicular monodehydroascorbate radical. We conducted a stopped-flow study on the reaction of ascorbate with purified cytochrome b(561) in the detergent-solubilized state for the first time. ...
