    Notes: We analyze the electrostatic and hydrodynamic properties of a nuclease from the pathogenic gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens using finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann methods for electrostatic calculations and a bead-model approach for diffusion coefficient calculations.Electrostatic properties are analyzed for the enzyme in monomeric and dimeric forms and also in the context of DNA binding by the nuclease. Our preliminary results show that binding of a double-stranded DNA dodecamer by nuclease causes an overall shift in the charge of the protein by approximately three units of elementary charge per monomer, resulting in a positively charged protein at physiologic pH. In these calculations, the free enzyme was found to have a negative (-1 e) charge per monomer at pH 7. The most dramatic shift in pKa involves His 89 whose pKa increases by three pH units upon DNA binding. This shift leads to a protonated residue at pH 7, in contrast to the unprotonated form in the free enzyme. DNA binding also leads to a decrease in the energetic distances between the most stable protonation states of the enzyme. Dimerization has no significant effect on the electrostatic properties of each of the monomers for both free enzyme and that bound to DNA.Results of hydrodynamic calculations are consistent with the dimeric form of the enzyme in solution. The computed translational diffusion coefficient for the dimer model of the enzyme is in very good agreement with measurements from light scattering experiments. Preliminary electrooptical calculations indicate that the dimer should possess a large dipole moment (approximately 600 Debye units) as well as substantial optical anisotropy (limiting reduced linear electric dichroism of about 0.3). Therefore, this system may serve as a good model for investigation of electric and hydrodynamic properties by relaxation electrooptical experiments. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein gemeinsamer Ansatz: Isotopische Exposition/SIMS-Analyse/REM zur Untersuchung des Anfangsstadiums der Oxidation von β-NiAL bei 1473 KDas Anfangsstadium der Oxidation von β-NiAl wurde bei 1473 K an unmodifiziertem Material und nach Y-Implantation untersucht. Hierzu wurde die 16O/18O-Zwei-Stufen-Oxidation in Kombination mit hochauflösender Sekundärionenmassenspektrometrie (SIMS) sowie Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (REM) eingesetzt. Es zeigt sich, daß die gebildeten Oxidschichten hinsichtlich der Zusammensetzung und des Gefüges nicht homogen sind. Deswegen war es erforderlich, analytische Methoden (SIMS und REM) mit sehr hoher Ortsauflösung bei höchstmöglicher Empfindlichkeit zu verwenden. Dadurch konnten die unterschiedlichen Wachstumsmechanismen in den einzelnen Bereichen der Oxidschicht auf den beiden verschiedenen Substrattypen identifiziert werden.
    Notes: The early oxidation stages of unmodified and yttrium-implanted β-NiAl have been studied at 1473 K using sequential isotopic exposure (so-called two-stage oxidation) combined with low and high resolution SIMS analysis and SEM characterization.The scales growing on unmodified material comprised typically a cracked morphology with oxide ridges growing outward from the cracks. Some ridges were formed at the reaction temperature during the first oxidation stage and continued growing during the second stage. This resulted in a network of ridges on the outer surface of the scale.Two regions: non-cracked areas and cracked round patches were observed in the scale on yttrium-implanted β-NiAl. No ridges but thin lace-like oxide was formed in cracks and round particles extruded from some crack centres. No network was formed by the lace-like oxide. Inward oxygen transport contributed significantly to the overall matter transport in the patches, while its contribution in the remaining scale was much less pronounced. The very thin outermost layer of most patches was enriched in Cr, which was present at a level of ca. 90 ppm only in the starting material. This finding is discussed in terms of the effect of Cr on the phase transformation of unstable aluminas into the stable β-Al2O3.The results showed that the scales were inhomogeneous regarding both composition and microstructure. Therefore, only analytical methods having respectable sensitivity and resolution might be used to give reliable information regarding the growth mechanisms of scales. This applies to SIMS as well as to the electron microscopy methods.
