    Notes: The solution complexes of ethidium bromide with nine different deoxydinucleotides and the four self-complementary ribodinucleoside monophosphates as well as mixtures of complementary and noncomplementary deoxydinucleotides were studied as models for the binding of the drug to DNA and RNA. Ethidium bromide forms the strongest complexes with pdC-dG and CpG and shows a definite preference for interaction with pyrimidine-purine sequence isomers. Cooperativity is observed in the binding curves of the self-complementary deoxydinucleotides pdC-dG and pdG-dC as well as the ribodinucleoside monophosphates CpG and GpC, indicating the formation of a minihelix around ethidium bromide. The role of complementarity of the nucleotide bases was evident in the visible and circular dichroism spectra of mixtures of complementary and noncomplementary dinucleotides. Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on an ethidium bromide complex with CpG provided evidence for the intercalation model for the binding of ethidium bromide to double-stranded nucleic acids. The results also suggest that ethidium bromide may bind to various sequences on DNA and RNA with significantly different binding constants.

    Notes: Fluorescence, CD, absorption, and 1H-nmr studies are reported for complexes of 7-amino-actinomycin D with deoxydinucleotides, deoxytetranucleotides, and poly(dG-dC)· poly(dG-dC). The optical spectra for the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex with pdG-dC, pdG-dC-dG-dC and pdC-dG-dC-dG are similar in shape to the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex with either DNA or poly(dG-dC). The changes in the 1H chemical shifts of the 7-amino-actinomycin D and the pdG-dC resonances that accompany complex formation show that 7-amino-actinomycin D forms a minature intercalated complex with two pdG-dC molecules. The magnitudes of the induced chemical shifts for the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex formation with pdG-dC are similar to, but slightly different from, the induced chemical shifts which are obtained when actinomycin D forms a minature intercalated complex with two pdG-dC molecules. The pdN-dG dinucleotides (N = C, A, or T) form stacked complexes with 7-amino-actinomycin D. The presence of the 7-amino-group results in a larger dimerization constant (in aqueous solution) for 7-amino-actinomycin D [KD(6°C) = 4.4 × 103M-1], as compared to actinomycin D [KD(6°C) = 1.7 × 103M-1]; the chemical shifts which accompany dimer formation indicate that the chromophores stack in an inverted manner. Intercalation of 7-amino-actinomycin D into minature double helices, as well as into calf thymus DNA, poly(dG-dC)·poly(dG-dC), and poly(dA-dC)·poly(dG-dT), results in an enhancement of the relative fluorescence intensity and a shift in both the absorbance and corrected emission spectra.

    Notes: An experiment was undertaken to determine which sensory structures of the mouse embryo inner ear developed from what portion of the mouse otocyst. Otocysts of gestation days 10, 11, 12 and 13 were divided by surgical dissection into six anatomical groups: dorsal, ventral, anterior, posterior, medial and lateral halves. They were organ cultured separately. After a period of ten days, the explanted tissues were harvested and processed histologically for microscopic analysis. The surgical control specimens fixed at the time of explanation were composed of undifferentiated ectodermal cells for tissues of gestation days 10, 11, and 12. Otocysts of gestation day ten showed no gross morphological differentiation. Otocysts of gestation days 11 and 12 showed, during the course of their subsequent growth, that the three semicircular ducts and their associated cristae developed from the dorsal and lateral halves. Only the anterior and posterior canals and cristae originated from the medial portion. The posterior half gave rise to the posterior crista and the anterior half provided for the development of the anterior and lateral cristae. The cochlear duct and its sensory epithelium developed in all the anatomical groups except the dorsal half. The utricle developed in the dorsal section of the middle third of the otocyst, while the utricular macula developed in the anterior half of the same section of the otocyst. The saccule and its macula differentiated from the ventral section of the middle third of the anterior half.

    Notes: Work on two sheet organosilicon polymers, one derived from the mineral chrysotile and the other from the mineral apophyllite, is described. This work provides direct evidence that both these polymers are composed of sheets. In addition, it shows that in the chrysotile-derived polymer the sheets curl into scrolls, and that in the apophyllite-derived polymer the sheets are essentially flat.

    Notes: The three avian spectrins that have been characterized consist of a common α-subunit (240 kD) paired with an isoform-specific β-subunit from either erythrocyte (220 or 230 kD), brain (235 kD), or intestinal brush border (260 kD). Analysis of avian spectrins, with their naturally occurring “subunit replacement” has proved useful in assessing the relative contribution of each subunit to spectrin function. In this study we have completed a survey of avian spectrin binding properties and present morphometric analysis of the relative flexibility and linearity of various avian and human spectrin isoforms. Evidence is presented that, like its mammalian counterpart, avian brain spectrin binds human erythroid ankyrin with low affinity. Cosedimentation analysis demonstrates that (1) avian erythroid protein 4.1 stimulates spectrin-actin binding of both mammalian and avian erythrocyte and brain spectrins, but not the TW 260/240 isoform, (2) calpactin I does not potentiate actin binding of either TW 260/240 or brain spectrin, and (3) erythrocyte adducin does not stimulate the interaction of TW 260/240 with actin.In addition, a morphometric analysis of rotary-shadow images of spectrin isoforms, individual subunits, and reconstituted complexes from isolated subunits was performed. This analysis revealed that the overall flexibility and linearity of a given spectrin heterodimer and tetramer is largely determined by the intrinsic rigidity and linearity of its β-spectrin subunit. No additional rigidity appears to be imparted by noncovalent associations between the subunits. The scaled flexural rigidity of the most rigid spectrin analyzed (human brain) is similar to that reported for F-actin.

    Tandem GC/MS: A useful tool for studying end-capping reactions of oligo(styryl)lithium anions (1995)

    Notes: Anionic living polymerization methods, using organometallic initiators such as butyllithium reagents, have proven useful for, inter alia, styrene polymerization and are amenable to subsequent functionalization of poly(styryl)lithium in the termination step. In this study, general methods for the selective preparation of small styrene oligomers and termination of the intermediate oligo(styryl)lithium anions were investigated. The crude reaction mixtures were analyzed directly by tandem gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Of the carbon- and silicon-based electrophiles tested, chloro(chloroalkyl)silanes, Cl-SiR2(CH2)nCl in particular, were shown by GC/MS to be regioselective end-capping reagents, thus allowing subsequent transformation to the primary amine. The combined GC/MS data allow not only an estimate of the degree of functionalization, but also the identification of by-products, thus providing insight into the end-capping process that otherwise might be difficult to access. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    A multi-technique study of the spontaneous oxidation of N-hexane plasma polymers (1994)

    Notes: Long-term compositional changes were observed when n-hexane plasma polymers were stored in air at ambient temperature. These post-deposition changes were monitored over periods exceeding one year using XPS, grazing angle FTIR, and SEM. A rapid initial increase in the oxygen content was followed by a slower oxygen uptake, which continued for many months. In contrast to the reported autocatalytic acceleration of the oxidation of polyolefins, the rate of oxidation of n-hexane plasma polymers was found to decrease continuously, and it did not proceed to the same extent toward higher oxidation states. The plasma polymer coatings did not show physical manifestations of oxidative degradation such as cracking, reduction in thickness, or loss of physical integrity. Comparison of the XPS and FTIR data suggested that the top few nanometers of the plasma polymer coatings oxidized at a faster rate than the “bulk.” The experimental data were interpreted using a model comprising reactions known from the oxidative degradation of polyolefins: carbon-centered radicals, trapped in the course of the plasma deposition, combine with atmospheric oxygen to form metastable peroxy radicals and hydroperoxides, which decompose to generate a variety of stable product groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups. There was broad agreement between the XPS data and the time dependence of particular species in model calculations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Plasma polymer films were deposited from methyl methacrylate (MMA) vapor under various plasma conditions and XPS and FTIR used to study the changes to the compositions of the films as they were stored in air for longer than 1 year. The plasma power input per monomer mass unit (W/FM) markedly affected the composition of the freshly deposited MMA plasma polymers. A low value of W/FM led to a high degree of retention of the original monomer structure, whereas a high value of W/FM resulted in substantial monomer fragmentation and the formation of a partially unsaturated material considerably different to conventional PMMA. As the MMA plasma coatings were stored in ambient air after fabrication, all showed spontaneous oxidative changes to their composition, but the extents and reaction products differed substantially. Deposition at low W/FM led to moderate oxidative changes, whereas high power led to a pronounced increase in the oxygen content over time and resulted in a wide range of carbon-oxygen functionalities in the aged material. As the initial compositions/plasma deposition conditions thus influenced the oxidative postdeposition reactions, MMA plasma polymers deposited under different conditions not only varied in their initial composition but then became even more diverse as they aged. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The purpose of this review on spectrin is to examine the functional properties of this ubiquitous family of membrane skeletal proteins. Major topics include spectrin-membrane linkages, spectrin-filament linkages, the subcellular localization of spectrins in various cell types and a discussion of major functional differences between erythroid and nonerythroid spectrins. This includes a summary of studies from our own laboratories on the functional and structural comparison of avian spectrin isoforms which are comprised of a common alpha subunit and a tissue-specific beta subunit. Consequently, the observed differences among these spectrins can be assigned to differences in the properties of the beta subunits.

    Notes: Polybenzyl has been complexed with the chromium tricarbonyl moiety by thermal treatment with chromium hexacarbonyl. The aryl rings of the product were complexed with the chromium tricarbonyl moiety to the extent of 41-63%. Assessment of the degree of complexation was satisfactorily carried out by elemental chromium analysis or by 13C-NMR methods which agreed within 5%. GPC was less satisfactory. TGA analysis of the complexed polymers suggested the possibility of cross-linking on thermal treatment. The benzylic groups of the polymer complex were methylated with base and methyl iodide in up to 88% of the complexed arene activated methylene groups. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
