Abstract:SYNOPSIS. An enzyme inhibition technic was employed for quantitative comparison of the serologic properties of glucokinases from 4 groups of amebas which are structurally indistinguishable species: Entamoeba histolytica, E. moshkovskii, E. invadens and E. terrapinae. Antiglucokinase was prepared by immunizing rabbits with crude extracts of DKB and Laredo strains of E. histolytica. The combination of amebal glucokinase and homologous antibody was a pseudoirreversible reaction. The inhibition was proportional t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
