Horse liver phosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.36) is rapidly inactivated by N-acetoacetylation with diketene following a pseudo-first-order kinetics: the presence of substrate quantitatively protects against this inactivation. Histidine photo-oxidation with methylene blue or rose bengal brings about the total loss of

Compounds having a structural analogy with diketene have been synthesized and their potencies as beta-lactamase inhibitors have been studied. Among six compounds so far tested, alpha-phenyl-beta-benzylidene-3-propanolide was shown to be an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme. The availability of simple

The hemolytic activity exhibited by the coelomic fluid of the Annelid Eisenia fetida andrei is mediated by two lipoproteins of mass 40 and 45 kDa, each of them capable of hemolysis. Such an activity is not inhibited by zymosan, inulin

Two acetoacetylated derivatives of Mycobacterium leprae with variable hapten groups and a conjugate with tetanus toxoid were prepared. These were tested as antigens along with unmodified M. leprae in the leucocyte migration inhibition response of leucocytes from clinically, bacteriologically and

Diketene (C(4)H(4)O(2)) monomers were isolated in cryogenic Ar (15 K) and Xe (30 K) matrices. The infrared (IR) spectra of the freshly deposited matrices show that diketene monomers exclusively adopt the 4-methylene-oxetan-2-one form. In situ photochemical transformations of diketene were
