    Description: An approximately 5000-year-old mummified human body was recently found in the Tyrolean Alps. The DNA from tissue samples of this Late Neolithic individual, the so-called "Ice Man," has been extracted and analyzed. The number of DNA molecules surviving in the tissue was on the order of 10 genome equivalents per gram of tissue, which meant the only multi-copy sequences could be analyzed. The degradation of the DNA made the enzymatic amplification of mitochondrial DNA fragments of more than 100 to 200 base pairs difficult. One DNA sequence of a hypervariable segment of the mitochondrial control region was determined independently in two different laboratories from internal samples of the body. This sequence showed that the mitochondrial type of the Ice Man fits into the genetic variation of contemporary Europeans and that it was most closely related to mitochondrial types determined from central and northern European populations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Handt, O -- Richards, M -- Trommsdorff, M -- Kilger, C -- Simanainen, J -- Georgiev, O -- Bauer, K -- Stone, A -- Hedges, R -- Schaffner, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 17;264(5166):1775-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Zoology, University of Munich, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8209259" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: The details of a simple and efficient scheme for performing variational biorthogonal valence bond calculations are presented. A variational bound on the energy functional is obtained through the use of a complete configuration expansion in a well-chosen subset of orbitals. The resultant wave functions are clearly dominated by the covalent (spin-coupled) structures, with a negligible contribution from ionic structures. The orbitals obtained compare favorably with overlap enhanced atomic orbitals obtained by other valence bond approaches. The method is illustrated by calculations on water and dioxygen difluoride. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have extended our computations of the structure and of the infrared and Raman spectra of methylphosphonates and related compounds to the O-ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethylmethylphosphonothiolate molecule (we abbreviate the name to ESD). We have computed the optimized geometry and the vibrational infrared and Raman frequencies of ESD by means of the Guassian 92 Program Package using 6-31G* basis sets. We assign the vibrational frequencies and we correct each frequency by multiplying it with a previously derived 6-31G* correction factor. The result is a computer-generated prediction of the IR and Raman spectra of ESD. The agreement between our theoretical predictions and the experimental IR spectrum of ESD is surprisingly good. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The energy levels of small titanium oxide clusters [(TiO2)2, and (TiO2H)3, and (TiO2H)2] have been calculated using ab initio SCF methods. Both crystal and relaxed geometries have been considered. Systematic changes in the valencelevel structure resulting from geometry relaxation are found, which may be related to band-gap changes experimentally observed for small titanium oxide particles. In addition, a Ti—OH local surface state is found to be well described within a limited cluster model. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We calculate the first ionization potential of atoms (3 ≤ Z ≤ 54) by means of a nonlocal density functional approach and the results are compared with those obtained using other recent density functional approaches based on density gradients. In these calculations, we use a nonlocal weighted spin-density approximation of exchange effects and a local spin-density approximation of Coulomb correlation, both based on novel forms of the pair-correlation functions. We also calculate the total energies of the He, Be, and Ne isoelectronic series. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Enantioselective hydrogenation of α-ketoesters with cinchona-modified platinum catalysts has been studied theoretically in order to rationalize the interaction between the chiral modifier and the substrate. The structure of the probable transition complex has been calculated for the system methyl pyruvate (substrate)-cinchonidine (modifier) using quantum chemistry techniques at both ab initio and semiempirical levels and molecular mechanics. The calculations indicate that crucial interaction occurs via hydrogen bonding of the quinuclidine nitrogen and the oxygen of the α-carbonyl moiety of methyl pyruvate and confirm earlier experimental evidence that the quinuclidine nitrogen of the cinchonidine is involved in the interaction leading to enantiodifferentiation. The resulting complex, which resembles to a half-hydrogenated state of the substrate, is shown to be a possible transition state for the enantioselective hydrogenation of α-ketoesters. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The recently synthesized metal-encapsulated porphyrazine compound, [Sn(t-Bu)2]4-star-Ni(porphyrazine)-S8, shows very interesting structural and optical absorption features compared with other metal-centered porphyrazines, e.g., metal phthalocyanines (Pc). Using self-consistent-field local density theory, we studied the ground-state and excited-state electronic structure of this molecule and compared it with its metal phthalocyanine analog NiPc. The theoretical optical spectra including oscillator strengths are in good agreement with experimental absorption and show that the characteristic transitions at the so-called Soret band in NiPc are red-shifted in the new compound. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A method is presented for calculating the total electrostatic interaction energies between molecules from ab initio monomer wave functions. This approach differs from existing methods, such as Stone's distributed multipole analysis (DMA), in including the short-range penetration energy as well as the long-range multipolar energy. The monomer charge densities are expressed as distributed series of atom-centered functions which we call Gaussian multipoles; these are analogous to the distributed point multipoles used in DMA. Our procedure has been encoded in the GMUL program. Calculations have been performed on the formamide/formaldehyde complex, a model system for N—H … O hydrogen bonding in biological molecules, and also on guanidinium/benzene, modeling amino/aromatic interactions in proteins. We find that the penetration energy can be significant, especially in its contribution to the variation of the electrostatic energy with interaction geometry. A hybrid method, which uses Gaussian multipoles for short-range atom pair interactions and point multipoles for long-range ones, allows the electrostatic energies, including penetration, to be calculated at a much reduced cost. We also note that the penetration energy may provide the best route to an atom-atom anisotropic model for the exchange-repulsion energy in intermolecular potentials. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The variational biorthogonal valence bond method is applied to the π-electrons of six 1,3-dipoles (CH2N2, HCNO, CH2NHO, N2O, O3, NO2). The results are compared with those from other valence bond techniques, including a detailed comparison with the spin-coupled valence bond approach. For CH2N2, HCNO, CH2NHO, and N2O, zwitterionic structures are predicted and it is shown that the variational biorthogonal valence bond method leads to orbitals and configuration weights which are essentially indistinguishable from those of the spin-coupled valence bond method. However, for O3 and NO2 the techniques give contradictory results. The biorthogonal valence method predicts O3 and NO2 to be spin-paired diradicals. Evidence from other calculations on O3 is discussed. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description: Many transcription factors contain proline- or glutamine-rich activation domains. Here it is shown that simple homopolymeric stretches of these amino acids can activate transcription when fused to the DNA binding domain of GAL4 factor. In vitro, activity increased with polymer length, whereas in cell transfection assays maximal activity was achieved by 10 to 30 glutamines or about 10 prolines. Similar results were obtained when glutamine stretches were placed within a [GAL4]-VP16 chimeric protein. Because these stretches are encoded by rapidly evolving triplet repeats (microsatellites), they may be the main cause for modulation of transcription factor activity and thus result in subtle or overt genomic effects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gerber, H P -- Seipel, K -- Georgiev, O -- Hofferer, M -- Hug, M -- Rusconi, S -- Schaffner, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 11;263(5148):808-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Molekularbiologie II der Universitat Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303297" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
