    Notes: Abstract FerroMagnetic Resonance (FMR) measurements of polycrystalline nickel ferrites at 11 GHz from 77 to 400 K have been carried out. The different contributions to the FMR linewidth have been studied by a computational technique based on the parameters previously obtained for single-crystal nickel ferrite. A new qualitative comparison between the FMR and disac-commodation measurements by means of the induced anisotropy formalism is presented.

    Notes: Abstract  The model alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) reacts reversibly at the metal-bound thiolates of Zn7MT and Cd7MT. An unprecedented feature of this reaction is that it approaches equilibrium and requires a large excess of NEM (〉1 mM for 3 μM protein) to drive it to completion. The complex kinetics of the reaction can be followed by monitoring the release of bound metal ions using the metallochromic dyes Zincon (ZI) for Zn7MT and pyridylazoresorcinol for Cd7MT. An initial lag phase is followed by more rapid release of zinc ions. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants for the two phases are independent of the ZI and Zn7MT concentrations. The complex NEM concentration dependence of each phase, k f, obs=k f 1+k f 2 [NEM] and k s, obs=k s 1+k s 2 [NEM], demonstrates that the forward reactions are second order and the reverse reactions are first order. The alkylation can be reversed using 2-mercaptoethanol to compete for the protein-bound NEM and regenerate the Zn-binding capability of alkylated MT. An explanation of these observations, based on the reversibility of cysteine alkylation by NEM, was developed and tested. The reactions of Cd7MT are less complete than those of Zn7MT and occur more slowly. 111Cd-NMR studies of the partially alkylated 111Cd7MT reveal that reaction with only four equivalents of NEM completely alters the cluster structure and eliminates the spectral signatures of the α and β clusters, although very little cadmium has been removed from the protein. This finding substantiates the proposed kinetic intermediate, a partially alkylated MT with complete or nearly complete retention of the metal ions, and rules out the possibility of cooperative reactions at either cluster.

    Notes: Abstract  The synthetic peptide fragment containing residues 49–61 of rabbit liver metallothionein II (MT-II) (Ac-Ile-Cys-Lys-Gly-Ala-Ser-Asp-Lys-Cys-Ser-Cys-Cys-Ala-COOH), which includes the only sequential four cysteines bound to the same metal ion in Cd7MT, forms a stable, monomeric Cd-peptide complex with 1 : 1 stoichiometry (Cd:peptide) via Cd-thiolate interactions. This represents the first synthesis of a single metal-binding site of MT independent of the domains. The 111Cd NMR chemical shift at 716 ppm indicates that the 111Cd2+ in the metal site is terminally coordinated to four side-chain thiolates of the cysteine residues. The pH of half dissociation for this Cd-peptide derivative, ∼3.3, demonstrates an affinity similar to that for Cd7MT. Molecular mechanics calculations show that the thermodynamically most stable folding for this isolated Cd2+ center has the same counterclockwise chirality (Λ or S) observed in the native holo-protein. These properties are consistent with its proposed role as a nucleation center for cadmium-induced protein folding. However, the kinetic reactivity of the CdS4 structure toward 5,5′-dithiobis(5-nitrobenzoate) (DTNB) and EDTA is greatly increased compared to the complete cluster (α-domain or holo-protein). The rate law for the reaction with DTNB is rate=(k uf +k 1,f +k 2,f [DTNB])[peptide], where k uf=0.15 s–1, k 1,f=2.59×10–3 s–1, and k 2,f=0.88 M–1 s–1. The ultrafast step (uf), observable only by stopped-flow measurement, is unprecedented for mammalian (M7MT) and crustacean (M6MT) holo-proteins or the isolated domains. The accommodation of other metal ions by the peptide indicates a rich coordination chemistry, including stoichiometries of M-peptide for Hg2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+, M2-peptide for Hg2+ and Au+, and (Et3PAu)2-peptide.

    Notes: Abstract Magnetic disaccommodation is investigated for ferrous ferrites with normal spinel structure. This study shows the presence of a new relaxation process in the temperature region IV (≃285 K) that has not been detected in inverse spinels. A numerical analysis of the isochronal spectra reveals that it is composed of two simple Debye processes with activation energies close to 0.75 eV and 0.80 eV, and preexponential factors 3×10−13 s. This relaxation is attributed to the formation of an induced anisotropy due to jumps of B-Fe ions into vacancies (as process III), but in presence of a divalent cation occupying an A-site.

    Notes: Abstract Isothermal disaccommodation curves in vacancy-doped magnetite at room temperature show a typical Richter-type behaviour. Magnetic susceptibility decreases asymptotically according to a relaxation time of about 102 s, which is analyzed in terms of a progressive stabilization of the domains walls. The relaxation strength, vacancies and the restoring pressure on the Bloch walls are closely related.

    Notes: Abstract Two years of data from four longitudinal traverses along each day's slide prepared from a continuously running Burkard sporetrap have been analyzed statistically. Using the Friedman test, a statistically significant difference was found between the four traverses, with a greater than 7% loss of pollen grains in the two outer traverses in relation to the inner. Four slides were then selected for more detailed analysis, using 18 longitudinal traverses with a 1-mm separation from the upper to the lower edge of the Melinex tape. There was found to be a progressive decline from the centre to the outside, and more than 4% of pollen grains were found outside the typical 14 mm width of the impaction orifice. There was no correlation between pollen grain size and the decline in counts from the centre to the outside. For the complete data set, there was a general rise in the diversity of pollen types with increasing sample counts, but above about 1000 pollen grains per sample there were no more than 27 pollen types found, often even fewer. A discussion is presented of whether four traverses really should be a fixing sample size, or whether it might be better to fix the total pollen count beginning with a traverse in the middle of the slide and ending with a variable number of traverses when that count is reached.
