Effect of Ascending an Ordinary Flight of Stairs on the Work of the Heart Observations on Normal Individuals and on Patients withCoronary Heart Disease By JAMESA. L. MATHERS,M.D.,HAROLD I. GRIFFEATH,M.D.,ROBERTL.LEVY,M.D., AND JOHNL. NICKERSON,PH.D.he blood pressure cuff andelectrocardiograplhic electrodes remained on the ex-tremities during the exercise to facilitate the speedof making the observations during the recovery period. All obstructions, such as closed doors andotherpersons, wereremoved fromthe path ofthesub-ject being tested.
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are enzymes that cut a DNA molecule at a particular place. They are essential tools for recombinant DNA technology. The enzyme scans a DNA molecule, looking for a particular sequence, usually of four to six nucleotides. Once it finds this recognition sequence, it stops and cuts the strands. This is known as enzyme digestion. On double stranded DNA the recognition sequence is on both strands, but runs in opposite directions.
Mechanisms of Enzyme action. Enzymes are essential proteins that are found in all living cells. They have two main functions: 1) they act as catalysts ( a catalyst is a chemical which speeds up a chemical reaction ) 2) they control all the chemical reactions going on inside the cell. Every cell has many different enzymes. Each enzyme is specific : it only affects one particular chemical.
