- An outline is presented here of the Po Valley Fog Experiment 1989, carried out within the EUROTRAC‐GCE project. This experiment is a joint effort by several European research groups from 5 countries. The physical and chemical behaviour of the fog multiphase system was studied experimentally following the temporal evolution of the relevant chemical species in the different phases (gas, droplet, interstitial aerosol) and the evolution of micrometeorological and microphysical conditions, from the pre‐fog situation through the whole fog evolution, to the post‐fog period. Some general results, useful for describing the general features of the fog system, are presented here, while specific scientific questions on the different processes taking place within the system itself will be addressed in other companion papers of this same issue.

- The D-glucuronosyl- (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl- (GlcNAc) transferase reactions involved in heparin/heparan sulfate biosynthesis were assayed, measuring transfer of radiolabeled GlcA or GlcNAc monosaccharide units from the corresponding UDP-sugars to the appropriate oligosaccharide acceptors. The assays were applied to enzyme purification from bovine serum. The two activities remained inseparable through a series of different chromatographic steps, resulting in approximately -2000-fold purification. Further purification was achieved by chromatofocusing, which showed an isoelectric point of pH approximately -7.0, similar for both activities. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of subfractions from the chromatofocusing procedure revealed an approximately 70-kDa protein in amounts reflecting enzyme activity. SDS-PAGE followed by extraction of gel segments and renaturation of proteins showed that the GlcA- and GlcNAc-transferase activities were both recovered from the same single segment, corresponding to the 70-kDa component. It is proposed that the two glycosyltransferase reactions are catalyzed by the same Golgi enzyme (see also Lidholt, K., Weinke, J. L., Kiser, C. S., Lugemwa, F. N., Bame, K. J., Cheifetz, S., Massagué, J., Lindahl, U., and Esko, J. D. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 2267-2271).
