    Notes: Abstract This paper presents the results of pollen analyses from organic sediments of seven cores (299 spectra) in a mountainous area of the north-west Iberian peninsula. The pollen diagrams, supported by seven14C dates, are used to construct a regional pollen sequence covering the main stages of vegetation dynamics, from the last phases of the Late-glacial until the present. During the Late-glacial Interstadial an important development of cryophilous forests (Betula andPinus) was recorded, although various mesophilous and thermophilous tree elements were also present. The Younger Dryas, palynologically clearly defined, is characterized by an important reduction in tree pollen percentages and the expansion of steppe formations (Poaceae andArtemisia). At the beginning of the Holocene, there was an expansion ofQuercus and a spread of other trees, which combined to give a vegetation cover of varied composition but dominated by mixed deciduous forests. Such forest formations prevailed in these mountains until 3000 years ago, when successive deforestation phases are recorded at various times as a result of increased farming activity. The results are compared with data from other mountainous areas in the northern Iberian peninsula and southern France.

    Differences in the vegetation of the North Iberian Peninsula during the last 16,000 years (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The dynamics of vegetation in the North Iberian Peninsula have been historically established from peaty and lacustrine records obtained in strongly continental mountainous areas. Pollen records located in areas with a more oceanic climate, have allowed a more precise evaluation of the changes and differences in the vegetation development of the various biogeographical areas in the North Iberian Peninsula, during the Late-glacial and Holocene. It was found that: (1) The vegetation of the Cantabrian–Atlantic province in northern Iberian Peninsula responded to climatic changes during the last 16000 years. (2) Tree vegetation declined during the Oldest Dryas, with steppe vegetation in the interior and cryophilous vegetation along the coast. (3) During the time of the Lateglacial Interestadial, lowlands, arboreal vegetation was dominant in the landscape (Pinus, Betula, Quercus, Corylus). (4) During the Younger Dryas the differences between coast and interior are less obvious. (5) During the Holocene oceanic decidious forests of Quercus robur, Corylus avellana, Tilia sp. and Fagus sylvatica were present along the coast. At low altitudes, in the interior, forests of Quercus robur / pyrenaica, enclaves of pine woods and Mediterranean types of forest (Quercus ilex, Olea europea) were present. At higher altitudes Pinus (P. sylvestris and P. uncinata) or mixed forests of Pinus and Betula were dominant.

    Electrochemical behavior of metallothioneins and related molecules. Part I: Lys-Cys-Thr-Cys-Cys-Ala thionein fragment [56-61] MT I (1995)

    Notes: In order to obtain a better understanding of the electrochemical behavior of the Metallothionein (MT), the peptidic fragment Lys-Cys-Thr-Cys-Cys-Ala [56-61] MT I (FT) compound constitutive of the proteic structure has been studied. The elucidation of the electrochemical mechanism at the electrode could be reached from comparison with other mechanisms proposed for similar molecules. This study stems from a more complete work. Under our experimental conditions, with a low concentration of the substance (〈 5 × 10-5 M) and the use of a dropping mercury electrode, a diffusion controlled mechanism is suggested for the electrochemical behavior of FT. In this case the mercury electrode itself is involved in the charge transfer step and the polarographic response is attributed to the oxidation of the mercury electrode in the presence of the chelating agent FT. This hypothesis was supported by the lack of modification of the electrocapillary curves in the presence of low concentration of FT in relation to those obtained with the supporting electrolyte alone and by the linear relationship between the polarographic intensity and the concentration at a low concentration of FT. The influence of the pH of the solution on the behavior of FT was investigated using DC and DPP methods. The variation of i1, ip and Ep with pH was determined. From these results the apparent acid-base dissociation constant of the FT was evaluated, corresponding to the dissociation of protons from the thiol groups. Likewise the apparent stability constants of the Hg-FT were estimated as a function of the pH. It was assumed that the main complex of Hg-FT possessed a stoichiometry of 1 : 1 but it is probable that two or more different complexes coexisted.

    Notes: The electrochemical behavior of Cd-Zn Thionein from rabbit liver and horse kidney with respect to pH of the solution at the dropping mercury electrode was studied, using differential pulse polarography (DPP). At pH 7.5 three well defined peaks were observed at a potential different from the potentials corresponding to pure Cd2+ and Zn2+. Two different electrochemical systems are involved: the oxidation of the mercury electrode in the presence of thiol groups contained in the metallothionein and the reduction of either free (pH 〈 4) or complexed (pH 〉 6) metal ions. The apparent acid-base dissociation constant of metallothionein was estimated. The apparent stability constants of the complexes CdT, ZnT and HgT were estimated at different pH values. Cadmium forms at least two complexes with thionein exhibiting different stabilities and probably different structures. Modifications in the polarograms with the addition of Cd, Zn and the peptidic fragment [56-61] MT I, a molecule intrinsic to the metallothionein structure, were studied. A diagram showing the oxido-reduction potentials corresponding to twelve diflerent electrochemical species is given. DPP allows one to distinguish the chemical forms of compounds (speciation).

    Notes: An electrochemical study, using differential pulse polarography (DPP), of a peptide Lys-Cys-Thr-Cys-Cys-Ala Thionein Fragment [56-61] MT I (FT) was performed in order to compare the behavior of metallothioneins and that of this less complex molecule, intrinsic to the metallothionein structure. The influence of different parameters, such as the solution pH and the concentration of metal elements, cadmium and zinc was investigated. Two different electrochemical systems were distinguished: in the first one, the mercury electrode itself is involved in the charge transfer steps; in this case, peaks are attributed to the oxidation of the mercury electrode in the presence of the peptide acting as a chelating agent. The second electrochemical system corresponds to the reduction of metal cations, cadmium and zinc, at a dropping mercury electrode either as free ions or complexed by the peptide. The apparent stability constants for complexes of FT with cadmium, zinc and mercury were estimated. The order of affinity is: K′HgFT ≫ K′CdFT 〉 K′ZnFT. The DPP response can be used for elucidation of the chemical forms of compounds (speciation).
