Observations of solar active regions and solar flares by OSO-7

Contributions made to the physics of coronal active regions and flares by the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectroheliograph on OSO-7 were discussed. Coronal structures above active regions were discussed from the point of view of their morphology and physical properties, including their relationship to photospheric and coronal magnetic fields. OSO-7 also recorded flares with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to record, in some instances for the first time, the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray emission associated with such chromospheric phenomena as filament activation and the emergence of satellite sunspots. Flare phenomena were reviewed in terms of the several stages of evolution typically associated with the event

Implications for flare build-up and heating from observations made by OSO-7

The evolution of the EUV and soft X-ray emission in the event on January 19, 1972 are discussed in terms of the slow (passive) and fast (active) phases of flare evolution that were previously discussed. The implications are summarized for a flare build-up model which was derived-from these observations

Turnover of outer and inner membrane proteins of rat liver mitochondria

Recent reports on the properties and composition of outer and inner mitochondrial membranes suggest that outer and inner membranes of mitochondria are derived from different sources of the cell [l-3]. I

The solar physics shuttle/Spacelab program and its relationship to studies of the flare build-up

The definition of the NASA program to support astronomical observations from shuttle/Spacelab is discussed. Steps are described which were taken to insure that instruments to be used in specific scientific efforts such as a flare build-up study have flight opportunities

Import of cytochrome c into mitochondria

The covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c, and therefore the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria, is dependent on both NADH plus a cytosolic cofactor that has been identified to be FMN or FAD. NADH in concert with flavin nucleotides mediates the reduction of heme. Heme in the reduced state is a prerequisite for its covalent attachment to apocytochrome c by the enzyme cytochrome c heme lyase and thus for subsequent translocation of cytochrome c across the outer mitochondrial membrane during import
