    Notes: Oligomers of (-)-epicatechin with 4β → 8 interflavan bonds, and as many as five monomer units, have been studied by conformational analysis and time-resolved fluorescence. The conformational analysis yields 2x-1 conformations for each oligomer with x monomer units. There are two conformations accessible at each interflavan bond. These conformations are denoted by + and -. The dominant conformations for the trimer and higher oligomers have an interaction between the phenolic hydroxyl groups on monomers i and i+2. This interaction involves the hydroxyl group at C(5) on monomer i, and either C(13) or C(8) of monomer i+2, depending on whether the conformation of the two intervening interflavan bonds is + + or + -, respectively. Minor contributions to the ensemble for the tetramer and pentamer are made by conformations that contain the sequence of successive interflavan bonds denoted by -+ or --. In -+ the interaction between monomer units i and i + 2 involves an aliphatic hydroxyl with a phenolic hydroxyl, and there are no hydroxyl-hydroxyl interactions between units iand i + 2 in --. The onset of a different decay law for the fluorescence when x increases from 3 to 4 may be associated with the appearance of the -+ and -- conformations as minor constituents in the ensemble.

    Notes: Extracts of unfertilized sea urchin eggs contain at least two isoforms of cytoplasmic dynein. One exhibits a weak affinity for microtubules and is primarily soluble. The other isoform, HMr-3, binds to microtubules in an ATP-sensitive manner, but is immunologically distinct from the soluble egg dynein (Porter et al.: Journal of Biological Chemistry 263:6759-6771, 1988). We have now further distinguished these egg dynein isoforms based on differences in NTPase activity. HMr-3 copurifies with NTPase activity, but it hydrolyzes CTP at 10 times the rate of ATP. The soluble egg dynein is similar to flagellar dynein in its nucleotide specificity; its MgCTPase activity is ca. 60% of its MgATPase activity. Non-ionic detergents and salt activate the MgATPase activities of both enzymes relative to their MgCTPase activities, but this effect is more pronounced for the soluble egg dynein than for HMr-3. Sucrose gradient-purified HMr-3 promotes an ATP-sensitive microtubule bundling, as seen with darkfield optics. We have also isolated a 20 S microtubule translocating activity by sucrose gradient fractionation of egg extracts, followed by microtubule affinity and ATP release. This 20 S fraction, which contains the HMr-3 isoform, induces a microtubule gliding activity that is distinct from kinesin. Our observations suggest that soluble dynein resembles axonemal dynein, but that HMr-3 is related to the dynein-like enzymes isolated from a variety of cell types and may represent the cytoplasmic dynein of sea urchin eggs.

    Notes: The tray hydrodynamics were determined for a system containing water and kerosene as immiscible liquids. Plates with hole diameters ranging from 3.18 to 12.70 mm were used in a 44.5-cm2 perspex air-water-kerosene simulator. Experiments were also carried out in a 50-mm-ID column using different depths of oil and water mixtures to study the drop and bubble mechanisms. A spray-to-bubble transition occurred for the two liquid-phase system experiments. The liquid holdup at the transition increased directly with gas velocity and hole diameter, and decreased with increasing free area. At the same hole velocity, the presence of two liquid phases caused the transition to occur at different liquid holdups than for the single pure liquid. Two different modes of coalescence were observed in the small column work. New correlations have been proposed for the liquid holdup at the transition which allow for the presence of two liquid phases.

    An investigation of the physico-chemical basis of foaming in fungal fermentations (1994)

    Notes: A detailed physico-chemical analysis of two foaming fungal fermentations was carried out to identify that key groups of compounds responsible for foam formation. Fermentations were carried out on a 20-L scale in a stirred aerated tank, over 7 days, using a commercial, defined medium. The organisms investigated were Penicillium herqueii, a hyphomycete, and an unidentified Ingoldian fungus. Samples of broth and, where possible, foam were analyzed to determine which groups of compounds were concentrated into generated foams. Surface tension, bulk viscosity, and antifoam A concentration were additionally determined in broth samples. To date the cause of foaming in fermentations has been attributed to the surfactant properties of extracellular proteins. This assumption was tested and found to be incomplete as many additional groups of biochemicals were found to be enriched into the foam. The results of the investigation revealed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, α-keto acids, and lipophilic biosurfactants, particularly extracellular pigments, enriched within stable foams. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Ion-exchange and affinity chromatography costs in α-galactosidase purification (1992)

    Notes: The purification of α-galactosidase from soybean seeds is a five to six-step procedure consisting of cryoprecipitation, acid precipitation and ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by two or three chromatography steps. The procedures, while not optimized, were carried out in a manner that resulted in 414-515-fold purification, as reported previously. The costs of two purification sequences were compared. In the best case, the preparative-scale costs of stationary phase, reagents, and hardware were $790 per million enzyme units, excluding labor. Stationary phase costs predominated over extraction, chromatography reagent, and eluent costs when the stationary phase is replaced after 10-40 cycles of use. However, if stationary phase life exceeds 50-200 cycles, stationary phase costs become similar in magnitude to eluent and reagent costs. Labor costs, which are process-specific and difficult to estimate, exceed all other costs by a factor of 10-50 at a small scale of operation and constitute a major cost, regardless of scale. This case study provides equations and a frame-work for carrying out a first comparison of costs for multistep purification sequences. Column life, throughput, and scale of operation were found to determine not only the magnitude, but also the relative contributions, of the different components that make up purification costs. This analysis shows that there are major opportunities for reducing purification costs through the development of less expensive stationary phases and the implementation of intelligent process control and automation for process scale chromatography.

    Rapid screening for metabolite overproduction in fermentor broths, using pyrolysis mass spectrometry with multivariate calibration and artificial neural networks (1994)

    Notes: Binary mixtures of model systems consisting of the antibiotic ampicillin with either Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus auresu were subjected to pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS). To deconvolute the pyrolysis mass spectra, so as to obtain quantitative information on the concentration of ampicilin in the mixtures, partial least squares regression (PLS), principal components regression (PCR), and fully interconnected feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) were studied. In the latter case, the weights were modified using the standard backpropagation algorithm, and the nodes used a sigmoidal squsahing funciton. It was found that each of the methods could be used to provide calibration models which gave excellent predictions for the concentrations of ampicillin in samples on which they had not been trained. Furthermore, ANNs trained to predict the amount of ampicilin in E. coli were able to generalise so as to predict the concentration of ampicillin in a S. aureus background, illustrating the robustness of ANNs to rather substantial variations in the biological background. The PyMS of the complex mixture of ampicilin in bacteria could not be expressed simply in terms of additive combinations of the spectra describing the pure components of the mixtures and their relative concentrations. Intermolecular reactions took place in the pyrolysate, leading to a lack of superposition of the spectral components and to a dependence of the normalized mass spectrum on sample size. Samples from fermentations of a single organism in a complex production medium were also analyzed quantitatively for a drug of commercial interest. The drug could also be quantified in a variety of mutant-producing strains cultivated in the same medium. The combination of PyMS and ANNs constitutes a novel, rapid, and convenient method for exploitation in strain improvement screening programs. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Integral kinetics of α-galactosidase purified from Glycine max for simultaneous hydrolysis of stachyose and raffinose (1990)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: α-Galactosidase from soybean (Glycine max) was purified by a five-step procedure. The enzyme's natural substrates, raffinose and stachyose, have Km's of 3. 0 mM and 4. 79 mM, respectively. The products, galactose and sucrose, were measured after separation by liquid chromatography. Galactose is a competitive product inhibitor of stachyose and raffinose hydrolysis with a Ki of 0. 12 mM. We determined these parameters by an integral kinetic approach. Stachyose hydrolysis gives a nearly constant level of raffinose shortly after hydrolysis begins. Thus, cleavage of the first α-(1,6)-bond in the tetrasaccharide is the rate-limiting step. Since the stachyose hydrolysis yields raffinose, soybean α-galactosidase simultaneously hydrolyzes two substrates. We present a novel approach for analyzing simultaneous substrate hydrolysis with competitive product inhibition by a modified integral rate expression. The experimentally found kinetic parameters are confirmed by solving the simultaneous equations which describe the hydrolysis. This technique may be applicable to other hydrolytic enzymes with multiple substrates.

    Notes: Soybeans (Glycine max) contain an α-galactosidase that makes up a small fraction of the total protein of the seed. The properties of this enzyme are of interest because of its potential to convert the galactooligosaccharides, stachyose and raffinose, in soybean meal to sugars digestible in the human gastro intestinal tract and thereby increase potential uses of this vegetable protein source in human and animal foods. Study of this enzyme required the isolation of milligram quantities of electrophoretically pure protein from ground soybeans and therefore, scaleup of laboratory procedures by a factor of 300 times. Large scale acid precipitation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and centrifugal recovery of the precipitated protein allowed α-galactosidase to be isolated from 45.5 kg soybean meal containing 17.1 kg protein, to obtain an enzyme extract with a specific activity of 90 to 100. A novel combination of strong anion exchange and cation exchange chromatography followed by Concanavalin-A affinity chromatography with a methyl α-D mannoside gradient gave α-galactosidase with an average specific activity of 56,000. Ion exchange chromatography preceding Concanavalin-A affinity chromatography allowed elimination of a relatively costly melibiose affinity chromatography step (which followed the Concanavalin-A column In the laboratory procedure) thereby making scaleup practical.

    Notes: A polarity test mix consisting of acetophenone, N, N-dimethylaniline, naphthalene, decanoic acid, 2-naphthol, and n-tetracosane was spiked onto sand, and extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide, to evaluate the collection efficiency of various solvents and solvent mixtures. Nine single collection solvent systems and four mixed collection solvent systems were studied. When one-component collection solvents were employed, quantitative (above 90%) recovery of all analytes was not possible. With mixed collection solvents, recoveries of 90% or better with all analytes studied were possible.

    Notes: The elastic deformation of polymer macromolecules in a shear field is used as the basis for quantitative predictions of viscoelastic flow effects in a polymer melt. Non-Newtonian viscosity, capillary end correction factor, maximum die swell, and die swell profile of a polymer melt are predicted by the model. All these effects can be reduced to generic master curves, which are independent of polymer type. Macromolecular deformation also influences the brittle failure strength of a processed polymer glass. The model gives simple and accurate estimates of practically important processing effects, and uses fitting parameters with the clear physical identity of viscoelastic constants, which follow well established trends with respect to changes in polymer composition or processing conditions.
