    Notes: Pyridoxylated adult human hemoglobin (HbAo) was prepared using a one molar equivalent of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) per heme and reduced with either NaCNBH3 or NaBH4. A separate sample was pyridoxylated and passed through a mixed-bed ion exchange column without reduction. All three preparations had a P50 of 29 ± 2 torr and a cooperativity of n = 2.4 ± 0.1. These preparations, in both the oxy and deoxy forms, were then treated with 7 equivalents of glutaraldehyde per tetramer at pH 6.8 at 4°C and at room temperature. The polymerization invariably reduced the P50 to 18 ± 2 torr with Hill coefficients of less than 2. These solutions, with or without further reduction using NaCNBH3, all retained the PLP in differing amounts (2-3 moles/tetramer). Methemoglobin concentrations were increased during the polymerization reaction. The normal pyridoxylation procedure, using sodium borohydride reduction, resulted in a number of different molecular species. Polymerization with glutaraldehyde caused a further proliferation of molecular species that could not be separated by anion exchange chromatography or by isoelectric focusing. The extent of polymerization, estimated by gel exclusion chromatography and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was from 40 to 50%. Analysis of the reverse phase chromatograms, which separate the heme and the α- and β-chains, showed extensive polymerization and distribution of the radioactively labeled PLP on the protein for all preparations. All of the polymerized and pyridoxylated samples were unstable, and showed different chromatographic patterns after storage at 4°C for 1 month. Attempts to stabilize these preparations by further reduction with NaCNBH3 gave products with a lower P50 and lower cooperativity. When the reactions were conducted with a purified HbAo, heterogeneity was somewhat decreased compared to the normally used stroma-free hemoglobin, but a large number of molecular species were still formed.

    Notes: Blends of citrus pectin and high amylose starch plasticized with glycerine were investigated to determine the effect of compositional variables on film properties. Several films with representative compositions were made from sugar beet and almond pectin, and tested for comparison. The films were cast from water onto glass plates, dried, and removed. Mechanical analysis was done using a Rheometrics RSA II solids analyzer. Increasing the glycerine concentration led to decreases in static modulus, dynamic modulus, and tensile strength, but to increases in elongation. Increasing levels of starch in the blend lowered the effect of glycerine on mechanical properties. Oxygen permeability of the films was extremely low. Sugar-beet pectin and almond pectin gave films with mechanical properties comparable to those made with citrus pectin. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    The effect of anodic surface treatment on the oxidation of catechols at ultrasmall carbon ring electrodes (1991)

    Notes: Electrochemical anodic treatment at ultrasmall carbon ring electrodes appears to result in the formation of an oxide film that displays charge-selective and pH-dependent enhancements following treatment. Voltammetry after treatment in pH 7.4 citrate-phosphate buffer is more Nernstian for dopamine (DA) and less Nernstian for 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC). However, oxidation in pH 2.8 buffer gives rise to voltammetry that is less Nernstian for both DA and DOPAC. Extensive surface oxidation in potassium hydroxide apparently forms a thick layer that acts like a thin layer reservoir for adsorbed analyte. Voltammetry following extensive treatment is attenuated and peak shaped. Minimal surface oxidation in KOH results in more Nernstian sigmoidal voltammetry with only light current attenuation. The data suggest that an oxide layer formed following anodic treatment is non-uniform and leaves sites of activated carbon exposed on the surface. Furthermore, it appears that this layer has cation-exchange properties giving rise to charge transfer selectivity. A model of the surface formed following anodic oxidation is consistent with previous models involving both surface cleanliness and carbon structure orientation.

    Oral toxicity to flesh flies of a neurotoxic polypeptide (1992)

    Notes: An insect selective neurotoxic polypeptide from venom of the scorpion Androctonus australis (AalT, Mr 8,000) was shown to cross the midgut of the flesh fly Sarcophaga falculata, using assays of oral toxicity, column chromatography, and microscopic autoradiography of the native and radioiodinated toxin. AalT induced paralysis of flies within 1-2 h after oral administration, with a lethal dose (LD50) of 10 μg/100 mg of body weight. Oral toxicity was about 0.14% of toxicity by injection. Hemolymph collection 70-85 min after feeding flies with [125l]AalT showed that 5% of ingested radioactivity appeared in hemolymph. Most of this represented degradation products, but included about 0.3% of the chromatographically intact toxin. In contrast, hemolymph of identically treated lepidopterous larvae (Manduca, Helioverpa [=Heliothis]) contained degradation products but no intact toxin. [125l]AalT was shown to cross the midgut of Sarcophaga through a morphologically distinct segment of the midgut previously shown to be permeable to a cytotoxic, positively charged polypeptide of similar molecular weight. These results suggest that Sarcophaga midgut contains a morphologically and functionally distinct segment that transports small peptides, and that employment of neurotoxic polypeptides for insect control may be feasible. Activity might be greatly improved through modification and metabolic stabilization of active peptides. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: New possibilities for the resolution of Raman bands, provided by polarization-sensitive CARS in combination with a phase-mismatching technique, are presented. The use of this combination of techniques allows one to achieve the most informative spectra and resolve the complex structure of inhomogeneously broadened contours. The variation of the resonant/non-resonant ratio using a phase-mismatching technique and the special possibilities of polarization CARS spectroscopy in lineshape formation are used. The results of an investigation of a cyclohexane and naphthalene mixture and of n-pentane by polarization CARS in combination with a phase-mismatching technique are presented.

    BATSE observations of bremsstrahlung from electron precipitation events (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The BATSE on-board burst system has been triggered by over 400 terrestrial electron precipitation events. These are the single largest cause of false triggers. Bremsstrahlung is generated as the precipitating electrons interact in the Earth's atmosphere, or in the spacecraft, and this radiation is detected by the Large Area Detectors, often triggering the instrument into burst mode. Several examples of such events are presented here, and the different classes of events are described. A possible correlation of events to strong magnetospheric activity is presented, and the association of a sub-set of events to a powerful VLF transmitter on the western coast of Australia is described.

    Observations of reduced ozone concentrations in the tropical stratosphere after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Two independent sets of data, one of aerosols from an airborne lidar system, and one of ozone from ozonesonde measurements indicate that significant ozone decreases may have happened as a result of the injection of debris by the Mt. Pinatubo volcano in June 1991. The amount of this reduction maximizes at 24-25 km, near the peak of the aerosol distribution, though a deficit is seen throughout the lower stratosphere between 19 and 28 km. The greatest differences observed prior and subsequent to the eruptions at these altitudes is 18-20 percent.

    Observation of Be-7 on the surface of LDEF spacecraft (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Significant quantities of Be-7 have been found on the leading edge of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), which was returned to earth after almost six years in space. Although the absolute atmospheric concentration of Be-7 needed to explain this detection is extremely small, its concentration at LDEF's altitude must be several orders of magnitude higher than in the stratosphere below, where it is produced by cosmic-ray reactions with atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen nuclei. The detection may lead to the use of Be-7 as an exoatmospheric tracer as well as to studies of surface interactions in space.

    Distribution of tropospheric ozone at Brazzaville, Congo, determined from ozonesonde measurements (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: An analysis of 33 ozonesonde launches in Brazzaville, Congo (4 deg S, 15 deg E), between June 1990 and May 1991 is presented. The data indicate highest tropospheric amounts between June and early October, coincident with the dry season and with the presence of enhanced widespread biomass burning. The seasonal cycle of ozone derived from the ozonesonde measurements is in good agreement with the climatological seasonal cycle inferred from the use of satellite data amd both seasonal cycles peak in September. Averaged throughout the year, the integrated amount of ozone derived from the ozonesondes is 44 Dobson units (DU) and is 39 DU using the satellite data. Within the troposphere the highest partial pressures are generally found at pressure levels near 700 mbar (about 3 km). Using simultaneous ozonesonde data from Ascension Island (8 deg S, 15 deg W), examples are presented illustrating that differences in the troposphere are primarily responsible for the observed spatial gradients of total ozone observed by TOMS.

    Distribution of tropospheric ozone determined from satellite data (1990)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: An analysis of more than 22,000 ozone profiles from Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment I (SAGE I) (1979-1981) and SAGE II (1984-1987) between 50 deg N and 50 deg S is used in conjunction with 9 years (1979-1987) of daily global depictions of total ozone from the TOMS instrument aboard Nimbus 7 to investigate the spatial distribution and seasonal cycle of the integrated amount of ozone in the troposphere. In the tropics, highest concentrations are found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean downwind (west) of Africa and maximize during the time when biomass burning is most prevalent, between July and October. A different seasonal cycle in the tropics is also observed over Indonesia, where a relative maximum is present in the March-April time frame, likewise consistent with when biomass burning is most prevalent. At mid-latitudes, highest concentrations are found downwind of Asia and maximize in the summer. Relatively higher amounts of tropospheric ozone are similarly observed downwind of North America and Europe. At mid-latitudes, the ratio between the amount of tropospheric ozone in the Northern Hemisphere and the amount in the Southern Hemisphere is 1.4, in good agreement with in situ measurements.
