    Notes: N-Carboxy-(N∊-benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-lysine anhydride (Z-L-lysine NCA) was polymerized in dimethylformamide with triethylamine, diethylamine or hexylamine as initiator, at varying molar ratios of NCA to initiator (M/I ratio). After removal of the protecting Z-group the resulting poly-L-lysine was characterized with 1H NMR and MALDI TOF MS. Both diethylamine- and hexylamine-initiated polymerization yielded poly-L-lysine in which the initiators were incorporated at the carboxylic end of the polymer. This indicates that the NCA polymerization occurred exclusively via nucleophilic attack of the initiator on the monomer. On the other, hand, when triethylamine was used as the initiator, poly-L-lysine was obtained in which no triethylamine-derived end group could be detected by MS. These polymer chains are most likely end-capped with an N-acyl-2,5-dioxopiperazine group at the carboxylic end of the polymer. Incorporation of diethylamine and hexylamine allowed determination of the degree of polymerization (DP) of the obtained polymers by 1H NMR. The DP depended linearly on the M/I ratio, for both diethylamine and hexylamine, with higher DPs for the diethylamine-initiated poly-L-lysine at equal M/I ratio.

    Notes: The PML protein is a human growth suppressor concentrated in 10 to 20 nuclear bodies per nucleus (PML bodies). Disruption of the PML gene has been shown to be related to acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). To obtain information about the function of PML bodies we have investigated the 3D-distribution of PML bodies in the nucleus of T24 cells and compared it with the spatial distribution of a variety of other nuclear components, using fluorescence dual-labeling immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. Results show that PML bodies are not enriched in nascent RNA, the splicing component U2-snRNP, or transcription factors (glucocorticoid receptor, TFIIH, and E2F). These results show that PML bodies are not prominent sites of RNA synthesis or RNA splicing. We found that a large fraction of PML bodies (50 to 80%) is closely associated with DNA replication domains during exclusively middle-late S-phase. Furthermore, in most cells that we analysed we found at least one PML body was tightly associated with a coiled body. In the APL cell line NB4, the PML gene is fused with the RARα gene due to a chromosomal rearrangement. PML bodies have disappeared and the PML antigen, i.e., PML and the PML-RAR fusion protein, is dispersed in a punctated pattern throughout the nucleoplasm. We showed that in NB4 cells the sites that are rich in PML antigen significantly colocalize with sites at which nascent RNA accumulates. This suggests that, in contrast to non-APL cells, in NB4 cells the PML antigen is associated with sites of transcription. The implications of these findings for the function of PML bodies are consistent with the idea that PML bodies are associated with specific genomic loci. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Chemical shifts of base and H1′ protons of the single-stranded hexamers d(ATTACC) and d(GGTAAT), of the 1 : 1 mixtures of these complementary hexamers, and of the self-complementary dodecamer d(ATTACCGGTAAT) were measured at various temperatures in aqueous solution. Four different sample concentrations were used in the case of the dodecamer and of the mixture of the complementary hexamers; the individual hexamers were measured at two different DNA concentrations. Absorbance temperature profiles at five different NaCl concentrations were measured for the dodecamer in order to quantify the effect of the ionic strength on the duplex formation.Under suitable conditions of nucleotide concentration, temperature, and ionic strength, the dodecamer adopts either a B-DNA duplex or a hairpin-loop structure. Chemical shift vs temperature profiles, constructed for all samples, were used to obtain thermodynamic parameters either for the various stacking interactions in the single strands or for the duplex or the hairpin-loop formation. In the analysis of the duplex formation of the hexamers, a two-state approach appeared too simple, because systematic deviations were revealed. Therefore, a new three-state model (DUPSTAK) was developed. In order to investigate the magnitude of error arising from the use of the two-state approach in cases where the DUPSTAK model appears more appropriate, a series of test calculations was made. The magnitude of error in the enthalpy and in the entropy of duplex melting is found to depend linearly upon the actual melting temperature and not upon the individual ΔHOd and ΔSOd values.Thermodynamic analysis of the chemical shift vs temperature profiles in D2O solution (no added salt) yields an average Tmd value of 341 K (1M DNA) and ΔHOd of -121 kJ · mol-1 for the dimer/random-coil transition of the hexamer duplex d(ATTACC) · d(GGTAAT). For the duplex ⇄ random-coil transition of the 12-mer d(ATTACCGGTAAT) an average Tmd value of 336 K (1M DNA) and ΔHOd of -372 kJ · mol-1 are found. The hairpin/random-coil transition of d(ATTACCGGTAAT) is characterized by a rather large ΔHOh value, -130 kJ · mol-1, and an average Tmh value of 304 K.

    Notes: A series of 2′-benzamido-2′-deoxyadenosine analogues were synthesized in an effort to find new lead structures for the treatment of sleeping sickness. The 2′-deoxy-2′-(3-methoxybenzamido)adenosine (1h) was proved to be a selective inhibitor of the parasite glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase which confirms the modeling studies. The solution-state conformation of 2′-(thiophene-2-carboxamido) analogue 1d demonstrates a 2′-endo conformation, an orientation of the thiophene ring under the ribose moiety, and the base part occupying a ‘syn’/‘anti’ equilibrium.

    Notes: With the use of rabbit antisera against crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH), it is possible to describe a distinct immunopositive reaction in a group of neurosecretory cells in the medulla terminalis ganglionic X-organ2 (MTGX2), in the MTGX-sinus gland tract, and in a considerable part of the sinus gland from several species of prawns belonging to the Palaemonidae. By introductory studies on the CHH system in Palaemon serratus, we can postulate a sequence in the activity cycle of the CHH-producing cells on the basis of differences in staining intensity of the immunoreaction and such morphometric parameters as cellular and nuclear diameter. By studying the CHH-producing system in combination with variations in the glucose level of the blood, an “inverse relationship” is observed between the number of immunoreactive cells and the blood glucose level during different periods of the year as well as during different stages of the molting cycle. A “shift in phase” of this correlation during the diurnal cycle suggests that several rhythmical phenomena may play a role in the regulation of glycemia in Crustacea.

    Notes: In Part I of this series the reactivity ratios of the comonomer pair methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate were determined with low-conversion bulk polymerizations. It was shown that the binary reactivity ratios of the systems styrene-methyl acrylate, styrene-methyl methacrylate, and methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate describe composition drift in low-coversion bulk terpolymerizations with these monomers reasonably well. A computer model was developed to simulate the composition drift in emulsion co- and terpolymerizations. The composition drift in two batch emulsion copolymerization systems (styrene-methyl acrylate and methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate) and one emulsion terpolymerization system (styrene-methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate) was investigated both experimentally and with the model. Experimental results were compared with model calculations. The copolymer chemical composition distributions (CCD) were determined with gradient polymer elution chromatography (GPEC®). This technique was also used for the first time to obtain information about the extent of composition drift in emulsion terpolymerizations. Cumulative terpolymer compositions were determined with 3H-NMR as a function of conversion and with this information the three-dimensional CCD was obtained. The composition drift was analyzed with respect to free radical copolymerization kinetics (reactivity ratios) and monomer partitioning. It was shown that in most emulsion copolymerizations the composition drift is mainly determined by the reactivity of the monomers and to a lesser extent by monomer partitioning, except in systems where there is a large difference in water solubility. The model predictions for cumulative terpolymer composition as a function of conversion and the three-dimensional terpolymer CCD showed excellent agreement with the experiments. The GPEC® elution chromatogram of the terpolymer was found to be in accordance with the predicted CCD and the experimentally determined CCD. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: As a part of the development of an integral mathematical model describing the up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, the kinetics of the conversion of organic wastes has to be known. We compared the Monod model with the model proposed by Andrews et al. Together with the assumption that the substrate for the anaerobic bacteria is formed by nonionized, volatile fatty acids, the Andrews model is able to describe substrate inhibition and reactor failure due to pH changes.From four batch experiments, with different concentrations of microorganisms, it could be concluded with a reliability of over 95% that the monod model was inadequate and Andrews' model was adequate to describe the measurements. Standard statistical techniques like the X2- and the F-test were used for this purpose.From a parameter sensitivity analysis for the Andrews model it followed that the maximum specific growth rate μAmax of the bacteria and the inhibition constant K1 are the parameters which influence the system most. Thus, these parameter were determined experimentally and most accurately. The results are: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\mu^{A}_{\max} = 16*10^{-4}{\rm h}^{-1}\pm 2\%\quad {\rm and}\quad K_l = 0.0158\,{\rm g}\,{\rm HAc/L}\pm 2.5\%$$\end{document} The other parameters were taken from literature. From calculation of the Thiele modulus for the particles it follows that transport limitation of the substrate in the flocus is not significant. The efficiency η is 0.85 in the worst case.

    Notes: In this article a dynamic model of a continuous working UASB reactor is described. It results from the integration of the fluid flow pattern in the reactor, the kinetic behavior of the bacteria (where inhibition and limitation were taken into account), and the mass transport phenomena between different compartments and different phases. The mathematical equations underlying the model and describing the important mechanisms were programmed and prepared for computations and simulations by computer. The settler efficiency has to be over 99% to prevent the reactor from wash-out. When the settler efficiency is over 99%, the total sludge content of the reactor increases steadily, so the reactor is hardly ever in a steady state. This implies dynamic modeling. The model is able to predict the various observable and nonobservable or difficult to observe state variables, e.g., the sludge bed height, the sludge blanket concentration, the short-circuiting flows over bed and blanket, and the effluent COD concentration as a function of the hydrodynamic load, COD load, pH, and settler efficiency. The optimal pH value is between 6.0 and 8.0; fatty acid shock loadings are difficult to handle outside this optimal pH range.
