    Notes: The conformations of synthetic human growth hormone-releasing factor fragment (1-29) in the presence and the absence of l, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylglycerol liposome as well as in aqueous 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanol solution were investigated by CD spectroscopy. The secondary structure of the peptide in each solution was analyzed by two methods. Both results show that the peptide has an unordered structure in the aqueous solution. whereas it folds into helical structure in the aqueous alcohol and in the phospholipid solution. In addition, although the peptide exists as almost complete helix in the 50 vol % aqueous alcohol (80-90% helicity), it does not reach full helicity even in the solution containing excess amount of phospholipid liposome (maximum 65-70% helicity). The conformational difference is explained by the characteristic amphipathy of the peptide, i.e., the necessity to twist the separated amphipathic helical parts in the interaction with the phospholipid membrane probably makes the helicity of the peptide decrease.

    Notes: The formation of α-helical assembly by complexing biologically active peptides with de novo designed protein is described. The de novo designed protein described here is a cystinelinked 4-helix bundle protein constructed with 80 amino acid residues and forms a hydrophobic core region surrounded by 4 helices in an aqueous solution. The biologically active peptides, such as melittin and human growth hormone releasing factor, contain the sequences that are able to form amphiphilic helices. These peptides alone do not form the α-helix structure in a diluted solution with low ion strength. But on mixing with the designed helix bundle protein, the peptides are strongly bound to the protein with the induction of α-helical structure in the biologically active peptides. The content of induced α-helix is in accord with that estimated from the amphiphilic sequence. The results mean that a novel architecture composed of α-helices is formed. Fluorescent and temperature-scanning measurement revealed that the α-helical assembly is constructed with hydrophobic interaction. Also, it is shown by means of fluorescence depolarization that the assembly has a compact globular form corresponding to 1 : 1 complex. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Measurements of light scatting, sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity, and viscosity were carried out on fractions of native amylose in dimethylsulfoxide at 25°C. The data for statistical radius as a function of weight-average molecular weight Mw suggested a stiff nature of this biopolymer in the solvent studied when interpreted in terms of Kirste's recent calculations with a stiff chain model. The data for sedimentation coefficient were consistent with this suggestion, and when analyzed in terms of the theory Hearst and Stockmayer for wormlike chain, a value of 233 Å2 was obtainedd for a/λ, where a is the length of a monomer unit projected on the chain axis and (2λ)-1is the persistence length of the wormlike chain. The intrinsic viscosity data gave a high a value as 0.91 for the exoponent in the Houwink-Mark-Sakuarada equation, in Substantial agreement with Cowie's prenious work.We attempted to interpret these data by use of the Eizner-Ptitsyn equation for wormlike chains, with omission of the free-drainage term and introduction of the a/λ value obtained from sedimentation data. It was found that, except in the region of Mw above one million, the observed values were fitted well by the E-P theory with a = 1.4 Å and (2λ)-1 = 87 Å. The disagreement in the high-molecular-weight region was tentatively attributed to excluded volume effect. The a value obtained suggests that the molecular conformation of amylose in dimethylsulfoxide is predominantly helical, in contrast to that of the same polymer in aqueous solutions of simple electrolyte. It was also found that a similar value of a was derived from our data for the second virial coefficient and partial specific volume if the molecule was assumed to be essentially rodlike.

    Notes: A new method of polymerization of the N-carboxy anhydride (NCA) of glutamic acid is presented by which poly(glutamic acid) is obtained directly from the NCA without protecting its carboxyl group. The principle underlying is that by adjusting the mole ratio of the initiator butylamine, [I], to the monomer, [A], butylamine can be used as protecting agent for the carboxyl group of the NCA so that the rest of butylamine acts as initiator in the heterogeneous polymerization in acetonitrile. Quantitative conversion was obtained for an [A]/[I] ratio of 1. In analogy to other heterogeneous polymerizations of NCAs in acetonitrile, this is due to the formation of the helix during polymerization, which was confirmed by IR absorption and X-ray diffraction measurements. As the [A]/[I] ratio increases, the conversion, the helix content of the resultant polymer, and the amount of butylamine combined with it decrease drastically. It is suggested that “copolymerization” of the amine-protected and unprotected NCAs occurs, giving rise to a partially helical chain, whose contents of the amine-protected side chains and accordingly of the helix are the higher the smaller the [A]/[I] ratio.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die reversible Oxygenierung des synthetischen polymeren Pyridin-Häm-Komplexes wurde bei Zimmertemperatur in wäßriger Lösung untersucht. Das polymere Hämochrom wurde durch die Koordination des partiell quartären Poly(4-vinylpyridin)s (QPVP) an der axialen Position des Protohäms in Wasser synthetisiert. Die Gleichgewichtskonstanten von Hämichrom und Hämochrom waren 2,60·102 und 2,77·104 dm3mol-1, und die Koordinationszahl der axialen Liganden (Pyridingruppen) war sowohl im Fall von Hämichrom als such im Fall von Hämochrom ca. 1,0.Die Kinetik der elementaren Prozesse der Oxygenierung, d. h. der “Adsorption von O2” bzw. der “irreversiblen Oxydation des resultierenden Sauerstoff-Komplexes” wurde als Funktion des lokalen Feldes um das Häm herum untersucht. Die Geschwindigkeit des irreversiblen Oxydationsprozesses des Häm-Sauerstoff-Komplexes wurde durch Hydrophobieren der Umgebung des Häm stark verringert. Diese Effekte wurden ausgelöst durch die stärkere Knäuelung von QPVP-Molekülen durch die Addition von Salzen {Natriumchlorid, Natriumdodecylsulfat und Poly[1-(natrium sulfonatophenyl)-äthylen]} oder durch die Komplexierung von QPVP mit Polymethacrylsäure. Das Redoxpotential des zentralen Metallions des Häms wurde infolge der Zunahme der Hydrophobie um das Häm verringert. Andererseits war die Geschwindigkeit des Adsorptionsprozesses an-nähernd konstant und unabhängig von der Veränderung der Mikroumwelt um das Ham.
    Notes: The reversible oxygenation of a synthetic polymeric pyridine-hemochrome was studied in aqueous solution at room temperature. The polymeric hemochrome was synthesized by coordination of partially quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine), (QPVP), to the axial site of protoheme in water. The equilibrium constants of hemichrome and hemochrome were 2,60.102 and 2,77.104dm3 mol-1, respectively, and the coordination number of axial ligands (pyridine groups) both in the complexation of heme and hemin was approximately 1,0.The kinetics of the elementary processes of oxygenation, i.e. “adsorption of O2” and “irreversible oxidation of the resulting oxygen complex”, were studied as a function of the local field around heme. The rate of the irreversible oxidation process of the heme oxygen complex was greatly lowered as a result of situating the active site of heme inside the hydrophobic environment formed by shrinking QPVP with adding a salt {sodium chloride, sodium dodecylsulfate, and poly[1-(sodium sulfonatophenyl)-ethylene]} or by complexing QPVP with poly(methacrylic acid). The redox potential of the central metal ion of heme was lowered by increasing the hydrophobicity around heme. On the other hand, the rate of the adsorption process was approximately constant, regardless of the microenvironmental change around heme.

    Notes: 3-Methylene-5,5′-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (α-MDMP), a cyclic analog of N-substituted methacrylamide, was synthesized and polymerized with α,α′-azobis (isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) in solution. Poly(α-MDMP) is only soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at room temperature. Thermogravimetry of poly(α-MDMP) showed 10% weight loss at 355°C in air and 400°C under nitrogen, respectively. The kinetics of α-MDMP homopolymerization with AIBN was investigated in DMSO. The rate of polymerization (Rp) can be expressed by Rp = k[AIBN]0.49[α-MDMP]1.0 and the overall activation energy has been calculated to be 73.2 kJ/mol. Monomer reactivity ratios in copolymerization of α-MDMP (M2) with methyl methacrylate (M1) are r1 = 0.71 and r2 = 0.71, from which Q and e values of α-MDMP are calculated as 0.75 and -0.43, respectively. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Palladium-catalyzed polycondensation between 2,5-diiodo-3-hexylthiophene I-Th(Hex)-I with mixtures of p-diethynylbenzene HC≡C - Ph - C≡CH and α,ω-diethynylalkane HC≡C(CH2)lC≡CH (l = 3 or 8) gives poly(aryleneethynylene) PAE-type copolymers [C≡C(CH2)lC≡C - Th(Hex)]m[C≡C - Ph - C≡C - Th(Hex)]n containing the methylene unit. The copolymers have a molecular weight (Mn) of about 1.2 × 104 as determined by GPC (polystyrene standard) and are considered to possess essentially a random sequences in view of the  - C≡C(CH2)lC≡C -  and  - C≡C - Ph - C≡C -  units as judged from their UV-visible spectra. By the incorporation of the (CH2)l unit, the λmax position of the corresponding PAE homopolymer [C≡C - Ph - C≡C - Th(Hex)]n is shifted to a shorter wavelength. However, the copolymers give rise to a photoluminescence PL peak essentially agreeing with a PL peak of the homopolymer, suggesting occurrence of energy transfer in the copolymer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The present article describes the synthesis and emulsion copolymerization of a block-type amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) macromonomer possessing a polymerizable vinyl ester group. The macromonomer was synthesized by one-pot two-stage block copolymerization of 2-oxazolines using vinyl iodoacetate as initiator. 2-Methyl- and 2-n-butyl-2-oxazolines were employed for the construction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments, respectively. The surface activities evaluated by the surface tension of the macromonomer in water were fairly good. Emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate with the macromonomer was carried out. The macromonomer acted as a polymeric surfactant, as well as a comonomer. The resulting copolymer latex particles were spherical and their diameter was in the sub-micron range. The effects of the composition of the macromonomer on the emulsion copolymerization and the resulting latex particles were examined. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The interaction between heme bound to poly-4-vinylpyridine (PVP) or poly-N-vinyl-2-methylimidazole (PVMI) and molecular oxygen (O2) was studied. In this paper, the reactions of some types of heme with O2 in organic solvents, particularly in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were discussed. The free heme not bound to an axial base was easily oxidized irreversibly to hemin in DMF with bubbled O2. The hemochromogens complexed with pyridine, imidazole, or their polymeric derivatives such as PVP and PVMI bound O2 to one of the axial coordination sites. The characteristic absorption band assignable to the resulting oxygenated heme was observed at 402 nm. This absorption band could be changed back to the characteristic band of the reduced hemochromogen at 418 nm by removing O2 dissolved in the DMF solution by a vacuum or by a stream of nitrogen. Thus, the hemochromogens bound to the synthetic polymers were found to adsorb and desorb O2 reversible in DMF.When the polymeric ligands were used, the equilibrium constants in the complexation of heme with these polymers were about 102 times as large as those of the corresponding monomeric ligands. The oxygenation rates and the capacities of O2 of the polymeric hemochromogens were larger than those of the monomeric hemochromogens. In addition, the oxygenation rate of the polymer complex was changeable owing to the conformational change of the polymeric ligand; this rate increased about ten times under the optimal condition.
