Particle-bound phytochrome from hypocotyl hooks of Cucurbita pepo L. seedlings is associated with either a "heavy" membrane fraction or a 31S ribonucleoprotein (RNP) component on sucrose gradients. Those amounts of phytochrome and RNP which co-pellet in response to added Mg(2+) are primarily localis

β¦ Synopsis
In-vitro irradiation of extracts of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles with red light enhances phytochrome pelletability as was previously reported for Cucurbita pepo L. In neither case is this the result of an irradiation-induced increase in the level of total pelletable protein. The transformation difference spectra of bound and unbound phytochrome fractions obtained after both in-vivo and in-vitro irradiations are not significantly different. The data, therefore, do not indicate that irradiation-enhanced pelletability either in rive or in vitro results from phytochromo denaturation. Other non-photoreversible changes in the molecule external to the chromophore environment might however still account for the observed pelletability.
* Abbreviations: Pfr = far-red-absorbing form of phytoehrome; Pr = red-absorbing form of phytochrome; Ptot ~ total phytoehrome. Rmax and FRmax = peak positions (nm) in the red and far-red regions of the difference spectrum respectively. R/2' ratio = A (AA) at Rmax/A (AA) at FRmax.

## Abstract We examined the fluorescent spectral properties of fluoresceinβlabeled DNA oligomers when directly bound to metallic silver particles via a terminal sulfhydryl group. We found a 12βfold increase in fluorescence intensity and 25βfold decrease in lifetime for a fluorescein residue positio
We present a theory of multichannel disordered conductors by directly studying the statistical distribution of the transfer matrix for the full system. The theory is based on the general properties of the scattering system: flux conservation, time-reversal invariance, and the appropriate combination
