Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nuclei of rat ventral prostate have been demonstrated to possess a protein phosphatase activity utilizing 32 P-labelled, lysine-rich histone (calf thymus) as the phosphoprotein substrate. This phosphatase has a pH optimum of 7.1 and was stimulated by the sulfhydryl protective agents dithiothreitol and 2-mercaptoethanol. This nuclear protein phosphatase did not appear to require divalent cations; rather, small inhibitions of activity were found in the presence of 2.4 mM Mg 2+, Mn 2+, and Ca 2+. Divalent cations such as Zn 2+ or Cu 2+ were found to be much stronger inhibitors, giving about 80% inhibition at 1 mM. Monovalent cations were also found to inhibit the histone phosphatase, e.g., 43% at 200 mM NaCl. Ammonium molybdate did not influence the enzyme activity whereas ADP and ATP reduced it by 72 and 82% respectively at 1 mM. There was no change in activity of the histone phosphatase up to 96 h post-orchiectomy when specific activity was based per unit of nuclear protein. However, a small decrease is noted if specific activity is expressed per unit of nuclear DNA (19% at 48 h and 36% at 96 h orchiectomy). This difference reflects the decreased nuclear protein content of the prostate observed following castration. Our data suggest that the decline in prostatic nuclear histone phosphorylation observed following orchiectomy is not due to increased phosphatase activity.
