    Notes: Our previous studies showed that the nonapeptide fragment of human leukocyte antigen DQ with the TPQRGDVYT sequence strongly suppresses the immune response1 [Z. Szewczuk, I. Z. Siemion, and Z. Wieczorek (1996) Molecular Immunology, 33, 903-908]. The fragment contains the RGDVY sequence, which is very similar to thymopentin (pentapeptide RKDVY, an active fragment (32-36) of thymopoietin, an immune system activator produced in thymi), and at the same time contains the RGD sequence, known as an inhibitor of adhesion processes. In the present study we tested an influence of the nonapeptide and its shorter fragments on binding of activated platelets and K562 cells to fibrinogen and fibronectin, respectively. We also designed and synthesized a cyclic thymopentin-like peptide, C*RGDVYC* (where C* indicates Cys participating in disulfide bridge) to restrict its conformation. The cyclization product strongly suppresses the humoral and cellular immune response and selectively inhibits the adhesion of K562 cells to fibronectin. The results are discussed in the light of CD conformational studies. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 40: 571-583, 1996

    Notes: The dependence of the particle size of a polyacrylate core-shell emulsion on temperature has been investigated in the temperature range of 10-55°C by photon correlation spectroscopy. To compare, the dependence of the particle size of an aqueous suspension of a polystyrene standard on temperature has been also investigated under the same conditions. This showed that as the temperature increases, the particle size of both samples decreases, but the rate of size decrease of the polystyrene standard is larger than that of the polyacrylate core-shell emulsion. By linear regression analysis, two regression equations of both samples have been set up. Furthermore, the apparent moving activation energy has been worked out from the size-temperature data.

    Notes: A new, specially designed nonlinear optical (NLO) polymer is composed of ladderlike polysilsesquioxane as a backbone and “side-on or end-on” fixed stilbene chromophores. In-situ poling was carried out simultaneously during film formation via solvent evaporation and crosslinking which was caused by sequential hydrolysis and condensation of remained Si-H groups on macromolecules. The dipolar orientation after poling is described by an order parameter Φ which was measured using an original linear optical technique-UV dichroism. Orientation order and its decay are influenced by chromophore loading, crosslinking degree and poling condition. Compared with corresponding single chain polymers, a poled thin film of ladderlike NLO polymers demonstrates more stable poling-induced orientation.

    Notes: Eight new copolymers containing hindered amine (HA) were synthesized by copolymerization of vinyl monomers [styrene (St), methyl methacrylate (MMA)] with new functional monomers produced by reaction of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (ATMP) and epoxy compounds containing double bond, and mixture copolymerization of vinyl monomers (St and MMA) with a mixture of ATMP and above epoxy compounds. The structure of these new copolymers were characterized by IR, NMR, and elemental analysis. The properties of these new copolymers were described and their photoprotecting effectiveness examined. Experimental results indicate that they possess high photoprotecting effectiveness comparable to or higher than that of a commercial polymeric HALS “PDS.” © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This paper provides a review of phthalocyan- ines suitable for the development of chemical sensors. Phthalocyanines may be utilized for different types of chemical sensors, including in particular electronic conductance sensors [such as semiconductive, field-effect transistor (FET), solid-state ionic and capacitance sensors], mass-sensitive sensors utilizing a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and surface acoustic-wave (SAW) sensors, and optical sensors. The phthalocyanines used are discussed in terms of their physical and chemical properties, as well as their sensitivity, selectivity and reversibility towards the detection of NO2 and organic solvent vapours. The interaction mechanism between phthalocyanine films and analyte molecules is also discussed.

    Notes: Many modeling studies of supercoiled DNA are based on equilibrium structures from theoretical calculations or energy minimization. Since closed circular DNAs are flexible, it is possible that errors are introduced by calculating properties from a single minimum energy structure, rather than from a complete thermodynamic ensemble. We have investigated this question using molecular dynamics simulations on a low resolution molecular mechanics model in which each base pair is represented by three points (a plane). This allows the inclusion of sequence-dependent variations of tip, inclination, and twist. Three kinds of sequences were tested: (1) homogeneous DNA, in which all base pairs have the helicoidal parameters of an ideal, average B-DNA; (2) random sequence DNA; and (3) curved DNA. We examined the rate of convergence of various structural parameters. Convergence for most of these is slowest for homogeneous sequences, more rapid for random sequences, and most rapid for curved sequences. The most slowly converging parameter is the antipodes profile. In a plasmid with N base pairs (bp), the antipodes distance is the distance dij from base pair i to base pair j halfway around the plasmid, j = i + N/2. The antipodes profile at time t is a plot of dij over the range i = 1, N/2. In a homogeneous plasmid, convergence requires that the antipodes profile averaged over time must be flat. Even in the small plasmids examined here, the average properties of the ensembles were found to differ from those of static equilibrium structures. These effects will be even more dramatic for larger plasmids. Further, average and dynamic properties are affected by both plasmid size and sequence. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
