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
This chapter discusses the plasma folic acid conjugase. The development of solid-phase synthesis of the poly-γ-glutamates of folic acid has made possible the preparation of specifically labeled radioactive substrates that can be used for the assay of conjugase activity. The extent of liberation of radioactive glutamic acid by enzyme action on a suitably labeled synthetic substrate gives a measure of the enzyme activity. The separation of unreacted substrate from the liberated radioactive glutamate can be done by adsorption on charcoal under conditions that do not permit the binding of glutamic acid. The optimal pH for the plasma conjugase activity is 4.5. The enzyme activity is proportional to the period of incubation up to 3 h. The addition of sulfhydryl compounds like glutathione (reduced), cysteine, and mercaptoethanol results in increased enzyme activity and ascorbic acid has no effect. This shows that plasma conjugase is a sulfhydryl enzyme. The molecular weight of human plasma conjugase has been shown to be 110,000 by sephadex gel chromatography.
