    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The effect of chitting and planting time of potato seed on the suitability of the crop for crisp production was investigated in a 5-year trial. The second-early table variety Bintje and the two early-main crisping varieties Maritta and Saturna were used. Three chitting periods (0, 6 and 12 weeks) and two planting dates (the beginning of April and May) were investigated. The change in crisping quality over a 7–8 month storage period was checked by frying tests at two to two-and-a-half monthly intervals. The criterion of quality was the colour of the crisps. Duration of chitting had little effect on crisping quality. The effect of planting date was strongly affected by the weather in a given year. In most years, but not for the experiment overall, the colour rating of the chips was slightly but significantly better for the later rather than the earlier planting date. The two crisping varieties Maritta and Saturna reached optimum suitability for crisping about twothirds of the way through the storage period, i.e. about March, the late plantings showing a more marked improvement in quality than the early ones (Table 1, Fig. 1–4). The weather, sometimes in combination with various soil conditions, had the greatest influence on the experimental results. This is concluded since the effects of the individual experimental factors depend on the season (Fig. 1–4) and from the difference in the averaged yearly results. Statistical analysis showed highly significant years and all experimental factors but chitting. 1976 merits special attention due to the extremely warm and dry summer weather. Potatoes which at the start of storage were generally poor showed a great improvement in quality during storage, especially those from the later planting. From the results it is obvious that the producer of quality potatoes for industry faces difficulties in choosing growing methods for improving quality due to the unpredictability of the consequences of weather conditions.
    Abstract: Résumé L'influence de la durée de prégermination des plants et de la date de plantation sur l'aptitude des pommes de terre à la fabrication de pommes chips a été examinée dans un essai répété pendant 5 ans. Les cultivars ci-après ont été examinées: Bintje, variété mi-précoce de consommation, Maritta et Saturna, variétés mi-tardives présentant une très bonne aptitude à la fabrication de pommes chips. Trois procédés de prégermination (0, 6 et 12 semaines) ainsi que deux dates de plantations (début avril et début mai) ont été comparés. L'évolution de la qualité des chips au cours d'une durée de conservation de 7 à 8 mois, a été contrôlée à intervalles de deux mois à deux mois et demi, par des tests de fabrication. La couleur des pommes chips a constitué le critère de qualité. La prégermination n'a pratiquement pas influencé la qualité des chips. L'effet de la date de plantation était en relation étroite avec les conditions météorologiques de l'année. Sur un grand nombre d'années d'essais et compte tenu des exceptions, une amélioration peu importante mais néanmoins significantive de la qualité des chips, a été obtenue par la plantation tardive, par rapport à la plantation précoce. Pour les variétés spécifiquement aptes à la fabrication de chips, Maritta et Saturna, les tubercules ont atteint leur qualité optimale aux deux tiers de la durée de conservation, soit en mars environ. L'amélioration de la qualité a été plus prononcée pour les tubercules issus de la plantation tardive que pour ceux de la plantation précoce (tableau 1, fig. 1–4). Ce sont les conditions de croissance et les différences de structure du sol qui ont influencé le plus les résultats de ces essais. L'effet de l'année sur les paramètres examinés a été évident (fig. 2–4). L'analyse statistique (tableau 1) donne une interaction hautement significative entre les années et les paramètres d'essais, exception faite de la prégermination. Les résultats de l'année 1976 méritent une attention particulière, en raison des températures élevées, de la sécheresse durant l'été. La qualité des tubercules a été plutôt médiocre en début de conservation. Par la suite, plusieurs lots, et particulièrement ceux de la plantation tardive, se sont fortement améliorés (fig. 3). Ces résultats démontrent pour la production de pommes de terre destinées à la transformation industrielle, les difficultés auxquelles se heurte le choix des techniques culturales appropriées, en raison des conditions météorologiques imprévisibles.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die in einem mehrjährigen Versuch (1973–1977) mit den Sorten Bintje, Maritta und Saturna geprüften Faktoren Vorkeimen und Pflanzzeitpunkt des Saatgutes sowie Lagerdauer des Erntegutes, übten folgende Einflüsse auf die Farbe von daraus hergestellten Pommes Chips aus: - Spätes Pflanzen (anfangs Mai) brachte in der Mehrzahl der Versuchsjahre eine leichte Verbesserung der Chipsfarbe bei jeweils mindestens zwei der drei Versuchssorten gegenüber frühem Pflanzen (anfangs April). - Die Vorkeimdauer hatte keinen Einfluss. - Mit zunehmender Lagerdauer trat mindestens bis zum Monat März bei den beiden Chips-Sorten Maritta und Saturna eine Qualitätsverbesserung ein, die bei den spätgepflanzten Varianten etwas deutlicher ausfiel als bei den frühgepflanzten. Die Ergebnisse wurden durch die Jahreswitterung und teils auch durch die Bodenbeschaffenheit stark beeinflusst.

    Notes: The effect of the DNA-binding oligopeptide distamycin A on the B to A transition of DNA in ethanol/water solutions has been studied by means of CD. (The overbars indicate that it does not matter which particular form of the corresponding families is considered.) The results show that increasing the concentration of distamycin A reverses the A conformation (in 82% ethanol) to the B conformation due to its strong binding and stabilization of the latter. In accordance with previous data for pure aqueous solutions, a site size of 3.5 base pairs is obtained from the studies in water/ethanolic solutions. From the data on the B to A transition in the presence of distamycin A, we estimated the length of the cooperativity ν0 = 10 base pairs.The results demonstrate that the oligopeptide systems of distamycin, as well as those of netropsin, are effective stabilizers of the DNA B-conformation.

    Notes: Tetrapeptides with proline in position 2, asparagine or leucine in position 3, and glycine in positions 1 and 4, with end groups free or blocked on the N-terminal side, were studied in their various ionic states in 2H2O and in Me2SO-d6 by 1H- and 13C-nmr. In order to clarify or refine some details, successive substitutions of the residues in these peptides with amino acids enriched to 85% in 13C, or to 85% 13C plus 97% 2H were carried out. The 1H and 13C chemical shifts as well as the 1H-1H, 13C-13C, and 13C-1H coupling constants and the signal intensities show strong similarity of behavior between the tetrapeptides of asparagine and leucine. The main conformational characteristics are (1) the almost total stabilization of the trans conformer in the type I β-turn structure when the peptide is in the zwitterion state dissolved in Me2SO. This is deduced from the 3JC3αH-N3H and the 3JC2′-H3α coupling constants, which both furnish a dihedral angle of φ3 = -90°, and from the positive value of the temperature coefficient of the glycine-4 amide protons, which suggests a type 4 → 1 hydrogen bond; (2) the evolution of cis and trans isomer fractions which change with the ionic state of the peptides in Me2SO, whereas they remain constant in aqueous solution; and (3) the conformation of the pyrrolidine ring as it follows the variations in cis:trans isomer populations together with the side-chain rotamer fractions of the residue in position 3. In the β-turn conformation the isomer cis is less abundant and the pyrrolidine ring is more flexible; this explains the perfect accommodation of the proline residue in position 2 of a bend. The interdependence of these phenomena where interactive forces play a predominant role underlines the importance of cooperative effects in the molecule. The results also suggest that the cis isomer of proline can adapt itself just as well as the trans isomer to position 2 of a type I β-turn.

    Notes: An algorithm is presented for the Monte Carlo simulation of the decay of fluorescence polarization from segmentally flexible molecules. Based on the random walk model of Brownian motion, the treatment explicitly follows the stochastic changes in the diffusion coefficients as the molecule bends. It includes the effects of a linear restoring force opposing the bending and the effects of hydrodynamic coupling between the translational, rotational, and bending motions. One application is presented: the simulation of anisotropy decay curves for hinged rods. A variety of decay curves are obtained, including single- and multiexponential behavior, and the following conclusions are reached: (1) increasing the flexibility is usually, but not always, accompanied by a more rapid rate of depolarization; (2) reducing the size of the fluorescent subunit will usually, but not always, increase the rate of depolarization; and (3) the complex interplay between the effects of molecular shape, relative sizes of the subunits, restoring force, and orientation of the transition dipoles renders it unlikely that any simple method can be used to interpret anisotrophy data without simulation. In particular, it is not possible to determine the extent of bending by fitting the data with the two-exponential approximation used by some investigators in the past.

    Notes: 13C-nmr spectra of red seaweed galactans, belonging to the agar and carrageenan groups or having the “intermediate” type of structure, were interpreted on the basis of 13C-nmr spectra of model compounds. Signal assignments have been made for most of the known extreme structures of such galactans. 13C-nmr spectroscopy was shown to be a rapid and convenient method of structural analysis, which permits one to determine the type of galactan structure, the absolute configurations of its constituents (galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose), and the positions of the sulfate and O-methyl groups in a polysaccharide molecule.

    Notes: The dielectric response of human umbilical cord hyaluronic acid in various environments has been studied at microwave frquencies using a resonant microwave cavity as a probe. Both the real and imaginary parts of complex dielectric constant and the loss tangent for hyaluronate solutions are obtained by utilizing equations for perturbation of a resonant cavity. Dielectric changes at room temperature have been observed in aqueous solutions of hyaluronic acid as a function of concentration ranging from 0 to 350 mg/ml. The data indicate the existence of ordered phases in hyaluronate solutions at selective concentrations, that is, exhibiting lyotropic-type transitions. Hyaluronate solutions at 1.5 and 3 mg/ml concentrations have been studied at various pH in the range of 6-8 and at constant ionic strength 0.1. A temperature-dependent transition in hyaluronate solution of 120 mg/ml concentration has been observed at physiological temperature. It is shown that this temperature-dependent behavior can be related to the orientational polarizability term in the Debye theory of polar molecules in liquids.

    Notes: In 1974, Zimm described a theory which predicts that the sedimentation coefficient of high-molecular-weight DNA will decrease as the rotor speed of measurement increases. In 1979, this theory was revised, and the new formula predicts speed-dependence effects that are substantially smaller than the predictions of the original version. This report describes the results of subjecting both the original and the revised versions of the theory to quantitative tests using a well-defined sucrose-gradient system and a DNA of known molecular weight (T4c DNA). T4c bacteriophage is a mutant, whose DNA contains the unmodified base cytosine, instead of the glucosylated hydroxymethylcytosine characteristic of the T-even bacteriophages, and has a molecular weight of 115 ± 3 × 106. The DNA of the wild-type phage (T4D+) was also used in some experiments.In addition to the quantitative tests, the experiments test for an effect first observed by Rubenstein and Leighton, which showed that the sedimentation coefficient measured for T2 DNA depended on the composition of the centrifuge tube used for the measurement (tube composition effect). It can be inferred from this observation that an interaction occurs between particle and tube wall during sedimentation, and this leads to a reduction in sedimentation velocity independent of the reduction in S described by Zimm's theory.The results show that in the range of 25,000-50,000 rpm, the original but theoretically incorrect form of the theory quite accurately describes the sedimentation behavior of both T4c and T4D+ DNA, although T4D+ was a special case in some respects. The revised (corrected) form of the theory predicts much less of a speed-dependence effect than that actually observed. The discrepancy between corrected theory and observation suggests that other factors (perhaps arising from the use of the swinging bucket rotor geometry) are causing the additional observed reduction in S20,w. However, the experiments show that the tube composition effect does not seem to be one of these.

    Notes: The fixation of cis (NH3)2Cl2Pt(II) to poly(I)·poly(C) leads to the formation of two complexed species. One involves coordination to a single base (accounting for about 70% of the total platinum bound over the rb range 0.07-0.25) and the other to two bases which are not adjacent to each other but may be on the same strand and separated by a loop. Reaction of the platinum compound with poly(I) gives in addition to the above two species a minor one (about 15%, independent of rb over the range 0.05-0.30) in which the platinum is bound to two adjacent bases. The availability of such coordination reduces the dominance of the 1:1 species, which, however, remains the major one (ca. 55%).

    Notes: The complex of CH3Hg(II) with the accessible cysteines of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPD, EC 1.2.1.12) from rabbit muscle has been studied by phosphorescence and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy. The wavelength dependence of the phosphorescence decay kinetics has also been measured. Comparison of CH3Hg(II)-GAPD with GAPD by these methods shows that a specific optically resolved tryptophan site of GAPD is perturbed by the interaction with a nearby mercury atom. The perturbation on the luminescence and ODMR properties is typical of an external heavy-atom effect. Based on the x-ray diffraction structure of the lobster enzyme, it is proposed that the heavy-atom effect results from the interaction of tryptophan-310 with CH3Hg(II) bound to cysteine-281 in the rabbit muscle enzyme.

    Notes: The energy of interaction of a spermine molecule with the A- and B-forms of DNA has been calculated, assuming that the molecule of spermine is fixed in the narrow groove of the DNA helix with the formation of hydrogen bonds between the amino groups of spermine and the phosphate groups of DNA. The atom-atom potentials method was used. Optimal structures for the A-DNA-spermine and B-DNA-spermine complexes are suggested. It is shown that, in agreement with the experimental data, the interaction of the spermine molecule with the A-DNA is energetically more favorable than that with the B-DNA. Two main factors are responsible for this: (1) the distance between neighboring phosphates of the chain in A-DNA (which is about 1 Å less than that in B-DNA) corresponds better to the distance between the amino groups of the propyl part of spermine; and (2) the orientation of phosphate groups in A-DNA inside the groove is preferable for complex formation with spermine to the outside groove arrangement of the phosphates in B-DNA. These conclusions are further confirmed by the calculations for DNA-propane diamine complexes.
