Citrate synthase 1 (mitochondrial) and citrate synthase 2 (nonmitochondrial) were purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The physical and enzymatic characteristics of citrate synthase 2 were ananlyzed in comparison with citrate synthase 1. Both isoenzymes were shown to be dimeric proteins of identical subunits, and the molecular weights of the subunits were estimated to be 48.3kDa for citrate synthase 1 and 47.0kDa for citrate synthase 2, respectively. The optimal pH value for enzyme activity was pH 7.5 for both isoenzymes. However, the optimal temperature for the activity was strikingly different; while the activity of citrate synthase 1 reached its peak at 65.deg.C, that of citrate synthase 2 was maximal at 40.deg.C. Citrate synthase 2 showed much lower thermal and pH stability than citrate synthase 1. In addition, citrate synthase 2 was affected much more by the metal ions such as $Zn^{2+}$ , $Mn^{2+ , and $Co^{2+} than citrate synthase 1. Among the several possible regulatory metabolites tested, ATP showed the strongest inhibitory effect on both enzymes. ADP and NADH were found to have greater effect on citrate synthase 2 than on citrate synthase 1. Kinetic analysis revealed that citrate synthase 2 has approximately 7- and 3.5-fold lower affinity to acetyl CoA and to oxaloacetate, respectively, than citrate synthase 1.

This research investigation employs a terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy system to study the terahertz spectral characteristics of five different citrates in both solution and solid state. The citrates under examination are lithium citrate, monosodium citrate, disodium citrate, trisodium citrate, and potassium citrate. The results show that the THz absorption coefficients of the first four citrate solutions exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing concentration. However, the potassium citrate solution shows an opposite phenomenon. At the same time, the absorption coefficients of lithium citrate, trisodium citrate, and potassium citrate solutions are compared at the same concentration. The results indicate that the absorption coefficient of citrate solution increases in proportion to the increase of metal cation radius, which is explained from the perspective of the influence of metal cations on hydrogen bonds. In addition, we also study the absorption peaks of solid citrates, and characterize the formation mechanism of the absorption peaks by molecular dynamics simulations. This methodology can be further extended to the study of multitudinous salts, presenting theoretical foundations for the detection in food and medicine industries.

Ammonium citrate와 ammonium succinate가 고려인삼(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) 배양세포의 생육 및 질소성분의 흡수에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Murashige and Skoog 배지에서 ammonium nitrate 대신에 농도를 달리하여 ammonium citrate와 ammonium succinate를 첨가한 MS배지에 인삼 callus를 액체 진탕배양하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Ammonium citrate 10mM과 ammonium succinate 10mM을 첨가한 배양기에서 생육량, NO$_3$-N 흡수량 및 전질소량이 control보다 많았고, NH$_4$-N 흡수량은 control과 같았다. 또한 각각 5mM씩 첨가한 경우에는 거의 모두 control과 별 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 ammonium citrate 10mM과 ammonium succinate 10mM첨가한 배양기에서는 NO$_3$-N 등의 흡수를 촉진하여 배양세포의 대사를 촉진시켜 생육량을 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다. 그리하여 ammonium citrate 또는 ammonium succinate의 농도를 조절 공급하면 인삼 배양세포의 증식을 촉진시킬 수 있다고 사료된다.

Vascular endothelial cells release proteinases that degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM), thus enabling cell migration during angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Sildenafil citrate stimulates the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway through inhibition of phosphodiesterase type V (PDE5). In this report, we examined the mechanisms underlying sildenafil citrate-induced cell migration using cultured mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). Sildenafil citrate induced migration and proteinase secretion by murine endothelial cells. Sildenafil citrate induced the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, which is inhibited by $NF-{\kappa}B$ inhibitors. Sildenafil citrate also induced the secretion of plasmin, which is inhibited by PI 3'-kinase inhibitors. It is suggested that sildenafil citrate-induced migrating activity in endothelial cells may be accomplished by increased secretion of proteinases.

최소가공 감자의 갈변을 억제하기 위해 감자를 박피 절단하여 다양한 농도의 citrate buffer와 phosphate buffer로 각각 처리한 후 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 포장지로 밀봉하여 $5^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 실험에 사용하였다. 최소가공 처리 된 감자를 24시간 저장 후 색도 변화를 측정한 후 ${\Delta}L$값과 ${\Delta}E$ 값을 계산하여 갈변 효과를 조사한 결과, citrate buffer 처리구가 phosphate buffer 처리구에 비하여 전반적으로 우수한 갈변억제 효과를 나타내었으며, 동일 buffer에서 pH가 낮을수록 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. Citrate buffer, pH 3.0에 처리 후 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장한 조건이 대조구에 비하여 약 35배 이상의 효과를 나타내어 가장 우수한 갈변억제능을 나타내었다. 농도별 처리에서는 citrate buffer(pH 3.0)에서 전반적으로 우수한 갈변억제 효과를 나타내고 있었으나, 0.5 M의 농도에서는 phosphate buffer(pH 5.0) 처리구가 더욱 우수한 갈변억제 효과를 나타내었다.

Tumor localizing properties of $^{67}Ga$ citrate and $^{169}Yb$ citrate were studies with sarcoma 180 bearing mice. To compare precisely the accumulation of $^{67}Ga$ citrate and $^{169}Yb$ citrate in tumor tissue itself, $^{67}Ga$ and l63yb were administered simultaneously as a mixture of same chemical form of citrate. The yield of $^{169}Yb$ labeled citrated and the of radiopharmaceuticals purity was identified more than 90% by chromatography on silica gel plates. $^{67}Ga$ and $^{169}Yb$ were injected into mice and the mice were killed at 3, 24, and 48 hours following intraperitoneal injection of the radiopharmaceuticals. The retention value of $^{67}Ga$ and $^{169}Yb$ in tumor was similar but they differ from each other markedly in normal tissue distribution. $^{169}Yb$ citrate is cleared up from blood more rapidly than $^{67}Ga$ citrate, and a high tumor to blood ratio is achieved shortly after injection.

Formation of ${\beta}$-amyloid $(A{\beta})$ fibrils has been identified as one of the major characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation in the CNS would be attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of AD. Several small compounds that inhibit amyloid formation or amyloid neurotoxicity in vitro have been known. Citrate has surfactant function effect because of its molecular structure having high anionic charge density, in addition to the well-known antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Therefore, we hypothesized that citrate might have the inhibitory effect against $A{\beta}$ fibril formation in vitro and have the protective effect against $A{\beta}$-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells. We examined the effect of citrate against the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils by measuring the intensity of fluorescence in thioflavin-T (Th-T) assay of between $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ groups treated with citrate and the control with $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ alone. The neuroprotective effect of citrate against $A{\beta}$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells was investigated using the WST-1 assay. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that citrate inhibited dose-dependently the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils from ${\beta}$-amyloid peptides. The inhibition percentages of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation by citrate (1, 2.5, and 5 mM) were 31%, 60%, and 68% at 7 days, respectively in thioflavin-T (Th-T) assay. WST-1 assay revealed that the toxic effect of $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ was reduced, in a dose-dependent manner to citrate. The percentages of neuroprotection by citrate (1, 2.5, and 5 mM) against $A{\beta}-induced$ toxicity were 19%, 31 %, and 34%, respectively. We report that citrate inhibits the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils in vitro and has neuroprotective effect against $A{\beta}$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. Neuroprotective effects of citrate against $A{\beta}$ might be, to some extent, attributable to its inhibition of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation. Although the mechanism of anti-amyloidogenic activity is not clear, the possible mechanism is that citrate might have two effects, salting-in and surfactant effects. These results suggest that citrate could be of potential therapeutic value in Alzheimer's disease.

식물 뿌리세포의 원형질막 및 액포막에 위치하는 $H^+-ATPase$들은 세포의 여러 가지 생리활성에 중요한 역할을 수행한다. $H^+-ATPase$의 생리활성 특성을 조사하기 위하여 토마토 뿌리조직으로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하고, $H^+-ATPase$의 활성에 미치는 음이온의 효과를 조사하였다. 다양한 종류의 음이온들이 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성을 저해함을 확인하였으며, 이들 중 특히 효소의 저해정도가 다른 citrate와 인산을 선택하여 작용특성을 조사하였다. Citrate에 의한 ATPase활성저해는 3 mM 이상에서 나타났고, 20 mM citrate는 활성을 50-60% 저해하였다. 그러나, citrate의 저해효과는 $Mg^{2+}$의 농도를 증가시킬수록 감소하여, citrate에 의해 저해된 ATPase 활성은 $Mg^{2+}$에 의해 회복되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 7 mM $Mg^{2+}$을 첨가하였을 때, citrate에 의한 활성저해는 관측되지 않았고 ATPase활성은 대조활성과 비슷한 수준으로 회복되었다. 이러한 결과로 부터 citrate는 Mg^{2+}을 chelation함으로써$H^+-ATPase$의 활성을 저해함을 확인하였다. 한편, 인산에 의한 ATPase활성저해는 3 mM 이상의 농도에서 나타났고, 30 mM 인산은 ATPase의 활성을 50% 저해하였다. 인산에 의해서 저해된 ATPase의 활성은 $Mg^{2+}$니 농도증가에 의해 회복되지 않아, 인산에 의한 저해효과는 $Mg^{2+}$과 무관하였다.
