    Notes: We employ a mean field, modified, self-consistent phonon theory to evaluate the single base-pair opening rate and the probability of a base pair in the amino proton exchangeable state for the homopolymer poly(dA) · poly(dT) at temperatures below the helix-coil transition region. Our calculated premelting single base-pair opening probabilities are in general agreement with several available experimental estimates from imino proton exchange and formaldehyde-induced DNA melting measurements. These calculated opening probabilities, however, are in disagreement with the prediction of the helix-coil transition theory. Possible reasons for the differences are discussed, especially the possible different definition of a meaningful open state in the premelting region. The premelting open state of the modified self-consistent phonon approximation theory seems to be appropriate to describe a solvent-accessible open configuration that is sufficient to facilitate important chemical reactions such as imino proton exchange and formaldehyde reaction with the bases. This can be compared with the completely unstacked open state of the helix-coil transition theory originally defined in the helix-coil transition region. We propose that the amino proton exchangeable state is different from the open state associated with melting and only involves the breaking of the amino interbase H bond. The agreement between the calculated and experimentally estimated probability of a base pair in the amino proton exchangeable state seems to support this hypothesis.

    Notes: Monodisperse microspheres of poly(diethylene glycol dimethacrylate) with diameters in the size range 0.4-4.8 μm were prepared by the radiation-induced polymerization. Effects of solvent viscosity and monomer solubility were investigated for various kinds of solvents. The number of the nuclei, produced in the early stage of the polymerization, was found to be constant during the remainder of the polymerization. The nuclei grow to be monodisperse polymer particles without aggregation. This is attributed to the low mobility of the growing polymer particles.

    Notes: A new monomer, 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl m-isopropenyl-α, α-dimethylbenzyl carbamate, was synthesized by direct addition of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinol to m-isopropenyl-α, α-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst at elevated temperatures. It was characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR. MS, and elemental analysis. It is a potential hindered amine light stabilizer as it contains the 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine moiety and its vinylic functionality makes it polymerizable.

    Notes: Copolymers of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl methacrylate (TPMA) with styrene (S) and with methyl methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized using AIBN as initiator. S-TPMA copolymers from feed ranging from 0.10-0.80 mole fractions TPMA and MMA-TPMA copolymers from feed of 0.04-0.85 mole fractions TPMA were used in the determination of monomer reactivity ratios r1, r2. Four different methods were employed in the calculations of r1 and r2 and all calculated results were in good agreement with each other. The structure of S-TPMA copolymers was inferred to be of an alternating nature while that of MMA-TPMA copolymers was random. Both copolymers are potential hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and are expected to be less extractable from, and more compatible with, polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) base polymers.

    Notes: The effect of crosslinked poly(methacrylic acid) (c-PMAA) on the polymerization of N-vinylimidazole in aqueous solution was studied using UV, calorimetry, SEM, and TEM. It was established that synthetic lightly crosslinked PMAA samples behaved intermediate between rigid crosslinked PMAA particles functioning as microreactors, and linear conventional PMAA, where template and conventional polymerization in the surrounding solution are integrated. A modified calorimetric technique was used to measure monomer conversion, and to correct for the rapid adsorption process. Rate enhancements up to a factor of 4 were obtained for the c-PMAA's, which were lower than those obtained for linear conventional PMAA, and which slightly decreased with increasing crosslink density of the samples. Template complexes possessed a platelet-like morphology similar to template complexes obtained for linear PMAA.

    Notes: Photooxidation of blends of polystyrene and poly (vinyl methyl ether) was studied at 30°C. The oxygen uptake by PS was negligible but PVME oxidized readily. The induction period of oxidation of PVME was prolonged by the presence of PS. The steady state rate of oxidation of the blend was strongly influenced by the segmental mobility of the blend which also governed the kinetics and morphology of phase separation. The molecular weight of PVME decreased more slowly in the blend as PS content increased. It was believed that the reaction between PVME radicals and PS resulted in less reactive PS radicals which retarded oxidation. The PS radicals eventually underwent chain scission reactions.

    Notes: Copolymers of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl m-isopropenyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl carbamate (CB) with styrene (S) and with methyl methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized using AIBN as initiator. S-CB copolymers made from feed ranging from 0.45-0.94 mole fractions S and MMA-CB copolymers made from feed of 0.34-0.88 mole fractions MMA were used to determine the monomer reactivity ratios r1 and r2. The structure of S-CB copolymers was inferred to be mainly of a random nature and in the MMA-CB copolymerization system there is a stronger tendency to form alternating copolymers. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The structure of the vasoactive intestinal peptide 1-28 in 40% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol was investigated by two-dimensional 1H-nmr spectroscopy. All 1H resonances, except the γ, δ, and ε protons of the lysine residues, could be sequentially assigned. Numerous intraresidual as well as short-range interresidual nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy connectivities were observed. Using a variable-target function minimization, a molecular model consisting of two helical stretches involving residues 7-15 and 19-27 connected by a region of undefined structure was calculated. The existence of an undefined structure between residues 16 and 18 confers mobility to the peptide molecule.

    Notes: We have used the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation package AMBER4 to search the conformation of a peptide predicted as a leucine zipper motif for the human immunodeficiency virus type I integrase protein (HIV IN-LZM). The peptide is composed of 22 amino acid residues and its location is from Val 151 to Leu 172. The searching procedure also includes two known α-helices that served as positive controls - namely, a 22-residue GCN4-p1 (LZM) and a 20-residue poly(L-alanine) (PLA). A 21-residue peptide extracted from a cytochrome C crystal (CCC-t) with determined conformation as a β-turn is also included as a negative control. At the beginning of the search, two starting conformations - namely, the standard right-handed α-helix and the fully stretched conformations - are generated for each peptide. Structures generated as standard α-helix are equilibrated at room temperature for 90 ps while structures generated as a fully stretched one are equilibrated at 600 K for 120 ps. The CCC-t and PLA helices are nearly destroyed from the beginning of equilibration. However, for both the HIV IN-LZM and the GCN4-p1 LZM structures, there is substantial helicity being retained throughout the entire course of equilibration. Although helix propagation profiles calculated indicate that both peptides possess about the same propensity to form an α-helix, the HIV IN-LZM helix appears to be more stable than the GCN4-p1 one as judged by a variety of analyses on both structures generated during the equilibration course. The fact that predicted HIV IN-LZM can exist as an α-helix is also supported by the results of high temperature equilibration run on the fully stretched structures generated. In this run, the RMS deviations between the backbone atoms of the structures with the lowest potential energy (PE) identified within every 2 ps and the structure with the lowest PE searched in the same course of simulation are calculated. For both the HIV IN-LZM and the GCN4-p1 LZM, these rms values decrease with the decrease of PE, which indicates that both structures are closer in conformations as their PEs are moved deeper into the PE well. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Diffusion coefficients of ethylene glycol (EG) have been measured in poly(ethylene terephthlate) (PET) melts by a quartz-spring sorption apparatus. A simple mathematical model was developed to investigate the sorption behavior accompanied by chemical reactions of EG and PET at high temperatures. Diffusion coefficients are deduced from experimental data for an asymptotically thin sample in order to minimize the effects of reactions. The diffusion coefficient of EG is strongly dependent on the vapor pressure of EG and temperature but not on the molecular weight of PET in this experimental range (degree of polymerization 80-120). The diffusion coefficient of EG in PET melt at 265°C is 2.58 × 10-7 cm2/s at the limit of zero concentration of EG. The activation energy for diffusion is 38.4 kcal/gmol, and the heat of solution for sorption is -44.9 kcal/gmol. The concentrations of the volatile materials resulting from reactions in PET-EG system were analyzed with gas chromatography. In addition, a fit of the current model to experimental data yields frequency factors for the polymerization reaction (k1) and the acetaldehyde formation reaction (k2) to be 5.84 × 108 cm3/mol ċ min and 3.90 × 1011 min-1, respectively.
