[Column chromatographic enrichment of "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase vienna" (author's transl)].

Further biochemical investigations were performed in a case of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency--called the "Vienna" deficiency variant on account of its biochemical characterization. It was found that the "Vienna" deficiency variant shows increased enzyme protein at a reduced specific activity. Gel filtration on Sephadex-G-200 produced a molecular weight identical with that of the normoenzyme; the different cochromatographic behaviour on hydroxylapatite appears attributable to a sequence modification of the amino acids.

[Glutathione reductase deficiency with membrane defect in hereditary hemolytic anemia].

Glutathione reductase activity and phospholipid metabolism in red cell membranes were determined in a family with hereditary hemolytic anemia. A marked decrease of glutathione reductase activity and stability of reduced glutathione was found in combination with enhanced phospholipid-phosphate metabolism and decreased activity of the membrane-stabilizing enzyme lysolecithin-acyltransferase. In all cases splenectomy beneficially influenced the hemolytic process. Family studies revealed a dominant-autosomal genetic transmission.

In-vitro inhibition of RNA-instructed DNA polymerase.

Rifamycins and distamycins were assayed in vitro for their effects on the activity of a reverse transcriptase derived from the plasma of a patient with breast cancer. The inhibitory effect observed was compared with that of a human placental substance with a molecular weight of approximately 10 000. The latter substance is apparently also capable of affecting reverse transcriptase activity in vitro.
