    Notes: Diffusivities of oxygen, nitrogen and their mixtures in carbon molecular sieve are measured under conditions used for kinetic separation of air by adsorption (elevated pressures). In binary diffusion, codiffusion enhances fluxes for both components, whereas counterdiffusion has the opposite effects; for both cases, the effects are significantly more pronounced for the fast diffusing component. The multicomponent diffusion theory developed earlier in this laboratory for surface diffusion is reformulated for diffusion in molecular sieves. Multicomponent diffusivities can be predicted from the following pure-component information: concentration-dependent diffusivities and diffusional activation energies. Predicted binary diffusion results agree fairly with the experimental data for oxygen and nitrogen in carbon molecular sieve.

    Notes: A model based on kinetic theory is derived for surface diffusion of multilayer adsorbed species on a homogeneous surface. A simple solution is obtained for expressing the concentration dependence of surface diffusivity. For monolayer adsorbate, the solution is reduced to the classical HIO model. This solution, in principle, requires no fitting parameters and is capable of predicting the unique concentration dependent behavior exhibited by multilayer surface diffusion, where the diffusivity first increases with surface concentration to a maximum followed by a decrease. Seventeen sets of experimental data from the literature are used to test the model, with fair results. It is also shown that heats of adsorption can be calculated from multilayer surface diffusivity data by using this model.

    Notes: Molecular recognition by microbial receptors for siderophores [natural iron(III) carriers] is examined with synthetic iron(III) carriers as structural probes. The iron(III) carriers have been designed to reproduce the two essential features of the natural siderophores: the capability to form octahedral iron(III) binding cavities and to fit specific membrane receptors. Specifically, analogs of tripodal ferrichrome and linear ferrioxamines have been prepared and examined. The ferrichrome analogs rely on C3-symmetric binders that are assembled from triscarboxylates as anchors, amino acids as bridges, and terminal hydroxamate groups as binding sites. The ferrioxamine analogs are based on linear assemblies of three identical monomers, each derived from a chiral amino acid. The deliberate use of animo acid residues as variable building blocks enables us to systematically modify the molecules' envelopes and the preferred absolute configuration of the iron(III) complexes until optimal performance is reached. Examination of the synthetic analogs in Pseudomonas putida demonstrates that the domains around the iron(III) center and their chiral sense dictate the extent of recognition by the membrane receptors. It is also shown that the synthetic siderophore analogs may be designed to either exert a broader, or a more narrow range of microbial activity than the natural siderophores. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the possible design of species-specific antimicrobial agents. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: To improve the hydrophilicity and enhance the transport flux of nylon 4 membrane for dialysis, this study attempts to utilize blending nylon 4 with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The instability of PVA in water can be obtained more easily than by other methods, such as chemical, γ-ray irradiated crosslinking, or high-temperature treatment used by previous researchers. The effects of maturation time of the casting solution, nylon 4/PVA ratios, and casting solvent compositions on esterification of PVA, salt permeability, water content, partition coefficient, diffusivity, and mechanical strength of membrances are studied. The membrane, prepared by casting solution of nylon 4/PVA = 9/1 wt % formic acid with 24-h maturation time, possesses permeabilities of NaCl and urea, 33.14 and 19.67 × 10-5 cm2/min, respectively.

    Notes: The polyethersulfone membranes were cast from casting solutions including poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) additive. The membranes were further dried, silicone-coated, and used for the permeation study with hydrogen and nitrogen gases. It has been found that solvent hexane which was included in the silicone rubber solution for surface coating increased the pore size on the membranes surface when poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) was present in the membrane. The above effect counteracted the pore size decrease by silicone coating, and, as a result, an H2/N2 permeability ratio of only 8.9 was achieved as compared with 28, which was obtained when the base polyethersulfone membrane was prepared from a casting solution without poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) additive.

    Notes: Composite particles were prepared by seeded emulsion polymerization at 70°C using K2S2O8 as initiator and two different nonionic surfactants. Monodisperse polystyrene latex particles were used as seed and methyl methacrylate was used as second-stage monomer. When the surfactant, polyethylene oxide-propylene oxide (Pluronic F-108), was used, the final particle morphology showed that the PMMA (core) was partially covered by polystyrene. However, when nonyphenol polyethylene oxide (Igepal Co-990) was used as surfactant, one observed a reversed type of encapsulation (i.e., PS core is partially engulfed by PMMA). The interfacial tensions of the polymer phase against water containing the appropriate surfactant were measured by the drop-volume method and used in a mathematical model based on thermodynamic analysis to predict the equilibrium particle morphology. The observed particle morphologies were found to differ from the predicted morphologies at low conversion of the second-stage monomer but agreed with it at higher conversion.

    Notes: Rabbit zygotes and embryos were exposed to hypertonic sucrose in phosphate-buffered saline (SPBS). In experiment one, 144 zygotes shrank to 32-36% of their initial volume in 1.0 M SPBS within 30 min. Neither hypertonic treatment with 0.5 M or 1.0 M SPBS nor micropuncture of the zona pellucida after shrinkage affected embryo development into blastocysts in vitro (88%, 83%, and 82%, respectively), compared to that of the controls (93%, P 〉 .05). In experiment two, 252 two- to four-cell- and 177 morula-stage embryos were exposed to isotonic PBS control or 0.5 M, 1.0 M, or 1.5 M SPBS for 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 min before transfer to PBS (290 mOsm). Embryo development was significantly reduced (P 〈 .05) when embryos were exposed in 0.5 M and 1.0 M SPBS for more than 60 min or in 1.5 M SPBS for more than 30 min. In experiment 3, morulae exposed for 60 min to 0.5 M or 1.0 M SPBS shrank to 37-39% or 32-35% of their initial volume and then expanded to 87-94% or 81-90% of their initial volume, respectively, after being returned to isotonic PBS for 60 min, but embryos in 1.5 M SPBS had erratic osmotic behavior. In experiment four, 192 two- to four-cell embryos exposed to 0.5 M SPBS for 0, 30, and 60 min before transfer to oviducts of recipients resulted in the production of 39%, 42% and 31% young, respectively (P 〉 .05). Exposure of embryos to 0.5 M sucrose for 60 min clearly does not compromise developmental potential and can simplify and speed up micromanipulation procedures.

    Notes: Enzyme IIA and HPr are central regulatory proteins of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase (PTS) system. Three-dimensional structures of the glucose enzyme IIA domain (IIAglc) and HPr of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli have been studied by both X-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Phosphorylation of HPr of B. subtilis and IIAglc of E. coli have also been characterized by NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the binding interfaces of B. subtilis HPr and IIAglc have been identified from backbone chemical shift changes. This paper reviews these recent advances in the understanding of the three-dimensional structures of HPr and IIAglc and their interaction with each other. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    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.
