Many microorganisms exhibit an adaptive response to mutagenic alkylation damage. In Escherichia coli the response is regulated by the inducible Ada protein. A sensitive immunoassay employing two anti-Ada monoclonal antibodies has been developed here to monitor low levels of induction

The formation of N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU) from methylurea (MU) and sodium nitrite in the guinea-pig stomach and the disappearance of NMU from the stomach were studied using a previously described method for NMU determination (Yamamoto et al. Fd Chem. Toxic. 1986
Japanese journal of cancer research : Gann, 88(9), 797-806 (1997-11-25)
For carcinogenic risk assessment of combinations of N-nitroso precursors in man, the effects of feeding methylurea (MU) or morpholine (Mor) plus sodium nitrite (NaNO2) were investigated using a multi-organ carcinogenesis model. In experiment 1, to initiate multiple organs, groups of

Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) use a unique pulsatile urea excretion mechanism that allows urea to be voided in large pulses via the periodic insertion or activation of a branchial urea transporter. The precise cellular and subcellular location of the facilitated

The phenomenon of solid-state proton migration within molecular complexes containing short hydrogen bonds is investigated in two dimethylurea-oxalic acid complexes. Extensive characterisation by both X-ray and neutron diffraction shows that proton migration along the hydrogen bond can be induced in
