    Notes: Abstract The binding of α-chymotrypsin to black-eyed pea trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor (BTCI) has been studied using the inhibitory activity against the enzyme and the formation of the complex enzyme/inhibitor followed by measurements of fluorescence polarization. Apparent equilibrium constants were estimated for several temperatures and the values obtained range from 0.32 × 107 to 1.36 × 107 M−1. The following values were found from van't Hoff plots: Δ H vh ° = 10.8 kcal mol-1 (from inhibitory assays) and 11.1 kcal mol−1 (from fluorescence polarization); ΔS° = 67.9 and = 67.8 kcal K−1 mol−1, respectively. Calorimetric binding enthalpy was determined (corrected for the ionization heat of the buffer) and the resulting value was ΔH cal ° = 4.9 kcal mol-1. These results indicate that the binding of chymotrypsin to BTCI is an entropically driven process.

    Notes: Summary Macrophages of the adrenal cortex were studied in normal male and female, ovariectomized and estradiol-injected rats. In normal male rats few macrophages with numerous granules were observed in the zona fasciculatazona reticularis border, and in the zona reticularis. Granules, identified as lysosomes, were limited by a single membrane with a heterogeneous matrix; they exhibited acid phosphatase- and aminotriazole-resistant peroxidatic activities. A larger number of macrophages had identical distributions in normal female rats. In ovariectomized and estradiol-injected rats the number and distribution of adrenal macrophages were similar to those in normal females; however, in spayed animals the number of these cells in the zona reticularis was higher than in the other experimental groups. Lysosomes in macrophages of treated animals were more numerous and their contents more complex than in normal male animals. These results indicate that the adrenal macrophage system is stimulated in experimental conditions involving high levels of circulating estrogens.
