    Notes: Abstract Powerful seismic events, such as earthquakes and rockbursts, are caused by the accumulation of energy in rocks and loss of rock mass stability. Usually methods of their forecasting are based on the registration of anomalous behavior of geophysical fields. However an efficiency of this approach is low. The present paper proposes a kinetic approach to the description of rock fracture process, which can be used for the forecasting of seismic events and an investigation of structure and energy distributions in rock. 3-D and 1-D kinetic equations describing a process of cluster formation in rock were obtained. The equations are invariant to deformation conditions and to the scale level of events. They showed a good agreement with the results of field observations and laboratory experiments. It was also shown that these equations well describe the processes of earthquake, rockburst and rock sample failure preparation. Catalogues of rockbursts in mines were analyzed with the use of the kinetic equations to find out evidence of induced seismic events. The proposed approach makes it possible to reveal trends in rock behavior and thus predict the rock failure at different scale levels.

    Notes: Abstract Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is a coenzyme for a number of enzymes which catalyse reactions at Cα of amino acid substrates including transaminases, decarboxylases and serine hydroxymethyltransferase. Using the X-ray coordinates for a transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, and the results of stereochemical and mechanistic studies for decarboxylases and serine hydroxymethyltransferase, an active-site structure for the decarboxylase group is constructed. The structure of the active-site is further refined through active-site pyridoxyllysine peptide sequence comparison and a 3-D catalytic mechanism for the L-α-amino acid decarboxylases is proposed. The chemistry of serine hydroxymethyltransferase is re-examined in the light of the proposed decarboxylase mechanism.

    Kinetics of sodiumd-glucose cotransport in bovine intestinal brush border vesicles (1984)

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) purified from steer jejunum were used to study the kinetics of sodiumd-glucose cotransport under voltage clamped, zero-trans conditions. When the initial rate of glucose transport (J gluc) was measured over a wide range of glucose concentrations ([S]=0.01–20mm), curvature of the Woolf-Augustinsson-Hofstee plots was seen, compatible with a diffusional and one major, high capacity (maximal transport rateJ max=5.8–8.8 nmol/mg·min) saturable system. Further studies indicated that changes incis [Na] altered theK t , but not theJ max, suggesting the presence of a rapid-equilibrium, ordered bireactant system with sodium adding first.Trans sodium inhibitedJ gluc hyperbolically. KCl-valinomycin diffusion potentials, inner membrane face positive, loweredJ gluc, while potentials of the opposite polarity raiseJ gluc. At low glucose concentrations ([S]〈0.05mm), a second, minor, high affinity transport system was indicated. Further evidence for this second saturable system was provided by sodium activation curves, which were hyperbolic when [S]=0.5mm, but were sigmoidal when [S]=.0.01mm. Simultaneous fluxes of22Na and [3H]glucose at 1mm glucose and 30mm NaCl yielded a cotransport-dependent flux ratio of 2∶1 sodium/glucose, suggestive of 1∶1 (Na/glucose) high capacity, low affinity system and a ∼3∶1 (Na/glucose) high affinity, low capacity system. Kinetic experiments with rabbit jejunal brush borders revealed two major Na-dependent saturable systems. Extravesicular (cis) Na changed theK t , but not theJ max of the major system.

    Characterization of ion channels from Acetabularia plasma membrane in planar lipid bilayers (1993)

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Plasma membrane from Acetabularia acetabulum was prepared by aqueous-polymer two-phase partitioning and incorporated into planar 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine bilayers by stirring in the presence of a (cis∶trans) 325∶100 mm KCl gradient. Under these conditions five distinct K+-selective channels were observed which had unitary chord-conductances (determined between 30 mV either side of the reversal potential) and frequencies of incorporation (in parentheses) of 1,600 pS (26%), 485 pS (21%), 259 pS (53%), 140 pS (37%) and 27 pS (37%). Two Cl−-selective channels were also observed, which had unitary chord-conductances of 8 and 48 pS and were present in 21 and 16% of bilayers, respectively. The voltage dependencies of channel open probability (P o ), open-state time constant (τ o) and closed-state time constant (τ c) were determined for the 259, 140 and 27 pS K+ channels. The P o of all three channels increased with increasingly positive membrane potentials. Thus, since these channels were oriented with their extracellular face adjacent to the cis chamber, which was grounded, all would exhibit outward rectification in vivo. Changes in P o were effected by modulation of τ c in all channels, which shortened as membrane potentials became more positive, and also of τ o in the 140 and 27pS channels, which increased as membrane potentials became more positive. Extracellular (cis) KCl concentration (and/or the KCl gradient across the bilayer) affected the P o of all three K+ channels, shifting the P o /membrane potential relationship in the direction of the change in the potassium reversal potential. In all channels this was achieved largely by changes in τ c .

    Protonophore anion permeability of the human red cell membrane determined in the presence of valinomycin (1988)

    Notes: Summary A transport model for translocation of the protonophore CCCP across the red cell membrane has been established and cellular CCCP binding parameters have been determined. The time course of the CCCP redistribution across the red cell membrane, following a jump in membrane potential induced by valinomycin addition, has been characterized by fitting values of preequilibrium extracellular pHvs. time to the transport model. It is demonstrated, that even in the presence of valinomycin, the CCCP-anion is “well behaved,” in that the translocation can be described by simple electrodiffusion. The translocation kinetics conform to an Eyring transport model, with a single activation energy barrier, contrary to translocation across lipid bilayers, that is reported to follow a transport model with a plateau in the activation energy barrier. The CCCP anion permeability across the red cell membrane has been calculated to be close to 2.0×10−4 cm/sec at 37°C with small variations between donors. Thus the permeability of CCCP in the human red cell membrane deviates from that found in black lipid membranes, in which the permeability is found to be a factor of 10 higher.

    Na+, Li+ and Cl− transport by brush border membranes from rabbit jejunum (1983)

    Notes: Summary Na+, Li+, K+, Rb+, Br−, Cl− and SO 4 2− transport were studied in brush border membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit jejunum., Li+ uptakes were measured by flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy, and all others were measured using isotopic flux and liquid scintillation counting. All uptakes were performed with a rapid filtration procedure. A method is presented for separating various components of ion uptake: 1) passive diffusion, 2) mediated transport and 3) binding. It was concluded that a Na+/H+ exchange mechanism exists in the jejunal brush border. The exchanger was inhibited with 300 μm amiloride or harmaline. The kinetic parameters for sodium transport by this mechanism depend on the pH of the intravesicular solution. The application of a pH gradient (pHin=5.5, pHout=7.5) causes an increase inJ max (50 to 125 pmol/mg protein·sec) with no change inK t (≈4.5mm). Competition experiments show that other monovalent cations, e.g. Li+ and NH 4 + , share the Na+/H+ exchanger. This was confirmed with direct measurements of Li+ uptakes. Saturable uptake mechanisms were also observed for K+, Rb+ and SO 4 2− , but not for Br−. TheJ max for K+ and Rb+ are similar to theJ max for Na+, suggesting that they may share a transporter. The SO 4 2− system appears to be a Na+/SO 4 2− cotransport system. There does not appear to be either a Cl−/OH− transport mechanism of the type observed in ileum or a specific Na+/Cl− symporter.

    The kinetics of transport inhibition by noncompetitive inhibitors (1983)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary A new analysis of the conventional carrier model shows that noncompetitive inhibitors can give rise to either competitive, noncompetitive or uncompetitive kinetics; the true mechanism and also the relative affinity of the inhibitor on each surface of the membrane can be decided from the patterns of inhibition observed in different transport experiments. The priciples governing the kinetics of inhibition apply to both reversible and irreversible inhibitors, for in either case the substrate may increase or decrease inhibition or be without effect. Ambiguity arises if the noncompetitive inhibitor acts on only one side of the membrane and if the substrate, in the course of being transported, alters the steady-state distribution of the carrier between inner and outer forms. In facilitated transport systems only equilibrium exchange should give rise to noncompetitive kinetics, whatever the location of the inhibitor. In active systems even the interpretation of exchange in the final steadystate is complicated if the energy-coupling mechanism produces a large displacement in the distribution of the free carrier or the substrate complex: the inhibition could be competitive or uncompetitive, depending on the location of the inhibitor. The actual mechanism is revealed in the uncoupled system.

    Generalized kinetic analysis of ion-driven cotransport systems: II. Random ligand binding as a simple explanation for non-Michaelian kinetics (1986)

    Notes: Summary Solute uptake in many cells is characterized by a series of additive Michaelis-Menten functions. Several explanations for these kinetics have been advanced: unstirred layers, transport across more than one membrane, effects of solute concentration on membrane potential, numerous carrier systems. Although each of these explanations might suffice for individual cases, none provides a comprehensive basis for interpretation of the kinetics. The most common mechanism of solute absorption involves cotransport of solute with a driver ion. A model is developed in which solute and driver ion bind randomly to a membrane-bound carrier which provides a single transmembrane pathway for transport. The kinetic properties of the model are explored with particular reference to its capacity to generate additive Michaelian functions for initial rate measurements of isotopic solute influx. In accord with previous analysis of ordered binding models (Sanders, D., Hansen, U.-P., Gradmann, D., Slayman, C.L. (1984)J. Membrane Biol. 77:123), the conventional assumption that transmembrane transit rate-limits transport has not been applied. Random binding carriers can exhibit single or multiple Michaelian kinetics in response to changing substrate concentration. These kinetics include high affinity/low velocity and low affinity/high velocity phases (so-called “dual isotherms”) which are commonly observed in plant cells. Other combinations of the Michaelis parameters can result incis-(substrate) inhibition. Despite the generality of the random binding scheme and the complexity of the underlying rate equation, a number of predictive and testable features emerge. If external driver ion concentration is saturating, single Michaelian functions always result and increasing internal substrate concentration causes uncompetitive inhibition of transport. Numerical analysis of the model in conditions thought to resemble those in many experiments demonstrates that small relative differences in a few key component rate constants of the carrier reaction cycle are instrumental in generation of dual isotherms. The random binding model makes the important prediction that the contributions of the two isotherms show opposing dependence on external concentration of driver ion as this approaches saturation. In the one case in which this dependence has been examined experimentally, the model provides a good description of the data. Charge translocation characteristics of the carrier can be determined from steady-state kinetic data on the basis of the response of substrate flux to modulation of internal driver ion concentration. The application of the model to dual isotherm kinetics is discussed in relation to “slip” models of cotransport, in which the carrier is assumed to have the capability to transport substrate alone or with the driver ion. A method for distinguishing between the two models is suggested on the basis of measurement of charge/solute transport stoichiometry as a function of external driver ion concentration.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of the initial phases of d-glucose binding to the glucose transport protein (GLUT1) of the human red cell can be followed by stopped-flow measurements of the time course of tryptophan (trp) fluorescence enhancement. A number of control experiments have shown that the trp fluorescence kinetics are the result of conformational changes in GLUT1. One shows that nontransportable l-glucose has no kinetic response, in contrast to d-glucose kinetics. Other controls show that d-glucose binding is inhibited by cytochalasin B and by extracellular d-maltose. A typical time course for a transportable sugar, such as d-glucose, consists of a zero-time displacement, too fast for us to measure, followed by three rapid reactions whose exponential time courses have rate constants of0.5–100 sec+−1 at 20°C. It is suggested that the zero-time displacement represents the initial bimolecular ligand/GLUT1 association. Exponential 1 appears to be located at, or near, the external membrane face where it is involved in discriminating among the sugars. Exponential 3 is apparently controlled by events at the cytosolic face. Trp kinetics distinguish the K d of the epimer, d-galactose, from the K dfor d-glucose, with results in agreement with determinations by other methods. Trp kinetics distinguish between the binding of the α- and β-d-glucose anomers. The exponential 1 activation energy of the β-anomer, 13.6 ± 1.4 kcal mol+−1, is less than that of α-d-glucose, 18.4 ± 0.8 kcal mol+−1, and the two Arrhenius lines cross at ≈23.5°C. The temperature dependence of the kinetic response following α-d-glucose binding illustrates the interplay among the exponentials and the increasing dominance of exponential 2 as the temperature increases from 22.3 to 36.6°C. The existence of these interrelations means that previously acceptable approximations in simplified reaction schemes for sugar transport will now have to be justified on a point-to-point basis.
