    Notes: The root-mean-square end-to-end distance has been calculated for a model allowing free rotation about glycoside bonds for the general case of polysaccharides having a disaccharide repeating unit. Numerical estimates are given for several naturally occurring structures based on an idealized pyranose unit in the C1 chair conformation. Extrapolation procedures which make use of the intrinsic viscosity [η] in good solvents to obtain unperturbed dimensions do not represent, data for hyaluronic acid very well, especially at low molecular weights. However, order-of-magnitude estimates suggest that this polymer behaves similarly to other polysaccharides, and probably has stiffer local structure than typical non-ionic synthetic polymers. A double logarithmic plot of the product of [η] and M̄w, the weight-average molecular weight, against the degree of polymerization in the range for M̄w of 104 to 2 × 104 permits a straight-line fit of available data for all the glycosaminoglycans, including heparin and the chondroitin sulfates, as well as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. This result suggests similarity of short-chain hydrodynamic behavior of these polymers.

    Notes: A common approximation for deriving solutions to the Lamm equation is to neglect diffusion. This paper presents a singular perturbation technique that allows one to estimate the band spreading due to nonzero diffusion coefficient. We illustrate the general mathematical technique by its application to sedimentation when pressure effects are important. Comparison of the approximate solution with accurate numerical solutions shows that the relative errors are of the order of 1% both for concentration and concentration gradient for parameters of chemical interest.

    Notes: Glycogen acquires a negative charge in both alkaline and acidic solutions and can move in an electrical field, its mobility being related to the degree of alkalinity or acidity. There is a slight increase in relative viscosity at both ends of the pH spectrum. These effects and the changes in nuclear magnetic resonance as a function of pH are interpreted.

    Studies on the viscosity of solutions of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase and on related hydrodynamic models; effect of toluene on enzyme association (1970)

    Notes: The viscosity of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase solutions was studied at 10 and 20° C in 0.2.M sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7, in the concentration range 0.1-8 mg/ml. A method for the study of the viscosity of very dilute solutions of associating enzymes is described. It was found that the reduced specific viscosity ηsp/c of glutamate dehydrogenase continuously increases with increasing enzyme concentration, from about 4 ml/g at the lowest concentrations to about 16 ml/g at 8 mg/ml. In the presence of 10-3M GTP and 10-3M NADH the viscosity increase is much smaller and the results can be extrapolated to zero enzyme concentration to yield an intrinsic viscosity [η] = 3.2. The values of ηsp/c in phosphate buffer alone apparently extrapolate to the same value of [η], or to a value close to it. We also observe that, in the presence of toluene ηsp/c increases very much more with enzyme concentration: ηsp/c already equals 16 ml/g at a concentration of 0.75 mg/ml. These observations are in good agreement with the hypothesis that the active oligomer of glutamate dehydrogenase (MW = 312,000) associates with increasing enzyme concentration to form linear rodlike polymers of indefinite length. This association is strongly diminished by the addition of 10-3M GTP, 10-3M NADH. Toluene, on the other hand, promotes reversible association to linear polymers of very high molecular weight. The transverse and axial rotary frictional coefficients of macroscopic bodies, similar to a physical model for the structure of glutamate dehydrogenase recently advanced, were determined. Assuming that the viscosity of the model is equal to that of an ellipsoid of rotation with identical frictional coefficients, we calculate [η] = 3.26 ml/g according to Kuhn and 3.20 ml/g according to Simha, for the glutamate dehydrogenase oligomer, in good agreement with the result derived from the study of enzyme solutions.

    Notes: Molecular monolaycrs of poly(β-benzyl L-aspartate) spread at. an air-water interface have been studied. The results obtained both by direct observations on the monlayer and from examination of collapsed films with polarized infrared spectroscopy and electron diffraction are consistent with the presence of right handed α-helices in the mono-layer when the molecular weight is high. When 1% (v/v) isopropanol is present in the subphase the right-handed helix prevails, provided that the monolayer is first spread on water. Monolayers of low molecular weight polymer appear to form the crossed-β structure. Orientated collapsed films of high molecular weight polymer can be converted to the left-handed α-helical and to the ω-conformation, and the mechanisms are discussed. The surface chemistry of this polymer is compared with that of related polymers and a consistent pattern of behavior emerges.

    Characterization of acid-denatured DNA by low-angle light scattering (1970)

    Notes: Low-angle light scattering results reported previously demonstrated that measurements on high molecular weight native DNA must be made at angles below 30° in order to obtain correct molecular weights. Earlier light-scattering data obtained on denaturated DNA at angles above 30° showed no change in molecular weight upon denaturation, even though other techniques clearly showed that strand separation occurred. This paper reports low-angle measurements on solutions of calf thymus and T7 DNA denatured under acidic conditions. The results demonstrate that a halving of molecular weight consistent with strand separation is detected by light scattering only when low-angle data are used to obtain correct molecular weights for native material. As expected from theoretical considerations, the scattering from denatured DNA is a linear function of sin2(θ/2), where θ is the angle of observation. This result shows that anticipated experimental artifacts have no significant effect on the low-angle measurements and demonstrates that the curvature in the scattering envelope observed for native DNA below 30° is an inherent property of the native molecule.

    Kinetics for the transition between cis- and trans-helices in poly-L-prolineA preliminary report of this work was presented at the 156th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Atlantic City, New Jersey, September 1968. (1970)

    Notes: The kinetics for the cis-trans isomerization of long-chain poly-L-proline has been studied as a function of pressure, temperature, and solvent composition in the acetic acid + n-propanol solvent system. Our complete kinetic curves were fitted by Monte Carlo techniques, and rate constants for nucleation, growth, and termination were estimated. It was found that for the formation of a cis-helix, high pressure, low temperature, and increased acetic acid content of the solvent, lowered the rate of nucleation relative to growth. The inverse seems to be t rue for the formation of a trans-helix. Molecular models suggest that this behavior of the kinetic constants can be due to the exposure of peptide units to solvent in the transition state for trans nucleation, and the burying of peptide units in the transition state for cis nucleation. It is further suggested from our analysis of complete kinetic curves that at least one of the assumptions usually made in the analysis of relaxation kinetics is invalid for poly-L-proline.

    Notes: Solutions of amylose in ethylenediamine yield a crystalline film complex upon evaporation of solvent. The x-ray analysis indicates the presence of a tetragonal-shaped cell with a symmetry approximating that of space group P212121. The amylose sixfold helix has a diameter of 13.3 Å and a translation period of 8.0Å. Chemical and physical analyses support a complexing ratio of one ethylenediamine molecule to every two glucose units. The structure is nearly identical to any amylose-dimethyl sulfoxide complex previously examined. The square mode of packing arrangement appears to result from complexation between amylose chains. Such complexing indicates a much greater degree of amylose interaction than is observed in amylose complex structures having a hexagonal close-packing arrangement.

    Notes: pH titration measurements of poly- S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine were undertaken in the aqueous Nacl solution in relation to the β form-random coil transition. The titration curves show a marked molecular weight dependence because of the shortened chain length of materials. Comparison of the optical rotatory dispersion parameter a0 with the titration curve reveals that the titration curve apparently reflects a β structure-random coil transition. The β form of this polymer is assumed to be an intramolecular β form, rather than a β structure stabilized by an intermolecular hydrogen bond, at least in the polymer concentration range considered here. The standard free energy change per amino acid residue for the transition from un-ionized random coil to un-ionized β form is estimated to be about -750 cal/mole residue in the range of 0.005-0.2M NaCl concentration.

    Notes: The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the four usual deoxymononucleosides, all sixteen deoxydinucleotides, and a number of trinucleotides have been measured. The dimer spectra are quite different from the sum of the spectra of their constituent monomers. This indicates the presence of base-stacked conformations analogous to those found for ribonucleoside diphosphates. The CD spectra of several deoxytrinucleotide diphosphates and single-strand f 1 DNA can be calculated fairly well by using a semi-empirical nearest-neighbor approach. There is little or no effect of terminal phosphate or of salt concentration on the optical properties of most deoxy oligomers. The possibility of simultaneous analysis of mixtures of deoxypurine or deoxypyrimidine sequence isomers has been examined. This seems to be a viable approach for the analysis of purine runs but cannot promise much success for pyrimidine runs.

    Notes: The circular dichroism spectra of all 16 ribodinudeoside phosphates containing the bases adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine have been measured at room temperature and neutral pH. These results are compared with the circular dichroism spectra of the corresponding deoxy compounds. From the optical properties it is clear that the geometry of the base-stacked conformation of ribo compounds must differ substantially from that of deoxy compounds. Because of this, it is not possible to draw firm conclusions about the relative extent of stacking in most ribo and deoxy compounds. The optical rotatory dispersion of about a dozen deoxy and ribodinucleoside phosphates has been studied as a function of temperature. These results confirmed the conclusions drawn earlier from measurements at a single temperature. Several dinucleoside phosphates containing a 2′ → 5′ phosphodiester bond have also been examined. These compounds have a substantial degree of base stacking at room temperature. The geometry of the stacked conformation is different from that of either the normal ribo dimer or the deoxy dimer. The role of the 2′-hydroxyl group in stabilizing base stacked geometries has been examined by studies on C-2′-O-methyl-pC. This compound has optical properties almost identical to those of CpC. This suggests that the effect of the 2′ hydroxyl is felt indirectly through its perturbation of the geometry of the sugar ring rather than directly by hydrogen bonding. It is not possible at present to identify precise conformational differences among deoxy-, ribo-and 2′ → 5′ ribodinucleoside phosphates.

    Notes: The influence of single-strand breaks on the kinetics of the relaxation of DNA in a solution of low ionic strength has been investigated by a temperature jump method. The relaxation of DNA after a jump of 0.7 °C in the melting region has been monitored by measuring the extinction at 260 nm. For essentially monodisperse T4 DNA (M = 130 × 106) two distinct relaxation times have been observed, that depend markedly on the initial extent of denaturation 1 - θ. The larger relaxation time decreases from 450 sec to about 300 sec, the smaller one from 55 see to 30 when 1 - θ increases from 0.03 to about 0.8. The dependence of these relaxation times on the average number of single-strand breaks per molecule (p) appears to be very small up to p = 100. However, the relative contribution of the slow process decreases sharply when p increases from 0.6 to 30 and remains nearly constant for larger p. The observations are discussed in the light recent theories of the kinetics of denaturation.

    Notes: Measurements have been made of the intensity of light scattered from aqueous solutions of calf thymus DNA with and without the application of electric fields. For fields approaching 150 V/cm and frequencies below 2.5 KHz, changes (ΔI) of up to 10% in the residual scattered intensity were observed. In agreement with previous dielectric and electric birefringence measurements, a low frequency dispersion of ΔI was observed, from which a rotary diffusion constant (D) of 1200 s-1 was determined. Interpreting the electric field data in terms of the classical dipolar orientation theory led to values of 2.4 × 10-25 cm (7.4 × 10-14 esu) and 4.3 × 10-25 cm (13 × 10-14 esu) for the permanent dipole moment and the anisotropy of the electric polarisabilities respectively. Furthermore the permanent dipole moment was along the major molecular axis and the particles orientated in the field as rigid entities. The zero field data indicated a molecular shape which was not rodlike but corresponded to the Kratky-Porod “stiffness” parameter of x = 24 for the wormlike coil model. Although curved, the molecules appeared to orientate in low-intensity electric fields as rigid, but not rodlike molecules. The implications of this on recent discrepancies in D determined by two or more dynamic relaxation methods is briefly discussed.

    Notes: The buoyant density of T-4 DNA was determined by equilibrium sedimentation in a density gradient, of mixed solutions of cesium and magnesium chlorides and bromides. The preferential hydration was calculated from these data, allowing appropriately for the exchange equilibrium of DNA with Cs+ and Mg++ ions. The charge and intrinsic solvation of the counterions were found to have no appreciable effect on the hydration of the DNA, the extent of solvation depending only on the thermodynamic, activity of the water. Various reasonable hypotheses are discussed to account for these results.

    Notes: Reaction of 27 SMS2 RNA with formaldehyde normally results in an unfolded, 13.4 S form. At acidic pH, however, and under the proper ionic conditions, a compact component sedimenting at 36-40 S was obtained. The molecular weight of this species corresponds to a dinner. The formaldehyde concentration was not critical, and approximately the same number of base pairs had been opened in the compact and in the unfolded form. Presumably dimers, which had been specifically formed under defined conditions, were stabilized by formaldehyde-induced crosslinks. Similar dimers were formed by 16 S and by 23 S ribosomal RNA, but not by tRNA.

    Notes: The change in apparent molal volume φ of DNA on thermal denaturation in carbonate buffer at pH 11.0 has been determined by the dilatometric method. It was found that φ increases sigmoidally during the helix-coil transition. Several methods, including a colorimetric technique that closely simulates the conditions used in the dilatometric experiments, were employed to estimate the protons lost by the DNA during the transition. These measurements indicated that the extent of the proton loss depends on the counterion present, increasing in the order Li+ 〈 Na+ 〈 K+ 〈 Cs+. The major part of the volume changes observed during the denaturation is due to the volume changes expected to accompany the transfer of protons from the bases guanine and thym ne to carbonate ions. As has been previously reported for the denaturation of DNA at neutral pH, the volume change directly due to the change in shape of the polymer molecules is so small as to be experimentally undetectable.

    Notes: The coupling of theoretical optical calculations with experimental data provides a check of the validity of the theory or provides conformational information. The theory was validated by studies in which the approximate conformation was located independently. These studies have shown that a theory restricted to the two lowest energy transitions for each chromophore gives qualitative agreement with experiment. On the other hand, for some of the proline derivatives, the theoretical treatment allows detailed conformational assignments. Both successes and failures in correlating theory with experiment are discussed. The results presented provide a basis for assessing the prospects for relating protein and polypeptide optical activity to their conformations.

    Notes: Ethidium bromide inhibits the formation of ultraviolet-induced pyrimidine dimers in DNA. The efficiency of dimer inhibition increases with increasing energy of the exciting photons. The efficiency of energy transfer from the DNA singlet to the dye singlet, as monitored by sensitized fluorescence, is independent of wavelength. The efficiency of singlet-singlet transfer agrees with that for dimer inhibition at photon energies corresponding to excitation of the lowest singlet state of DNA. Our results support a model in which dimers are formed both directly from the singlet state and also from the triplet state, with triplets arising from higher vibrational levels of the singlet.

    Notes: The intercalation model of DNA-hydrocarbon binding appears reasonable, but rests on indirect evidence only. To test the model, a size criterion for binding has been proposed. The size criterion is based on the assumption that hydrophobic forces play a major role in the binding of hydrocarbons to DNA. It states that hydrocarbons which are small enough to intercalate into DNA and be well protected from contact with the medium, will be found to bind to DNA; those that are too large will not. We report results on the binding of fourteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to DNA. Predictions based on the size criterion were found to be valid in all cases tested.

    Notes: The dialysis data of Huang and Ts'o for the cooperative binding of adensine to polyuridylic acid are analyzed here using a grand-partition function Ising model method similar to that originally employed for polyelectrolytes by Rice and Nagasawa. An appropriate modification permitting the treatment of the sliding degeneracy of the two polyuridylic acid strands is also included. In addition to the previously estimated stacking energy of about -6 kcal/mole one also obtains the free energy change F̄ for the transfer of a single adenosine molecule from a fixed site in solution to a fixed site on the polyuridylic acid. This binding energy falls in the range F̄ = -140 to +620 cal/mole, indicating that binding in the 1:2 (purine: pyrimidine) complex is either very weak or repulsive. The absence of any comparable cooperative stacking of adenosines in solution at the same concentration together with the likely repulsive character of the binding implies that the stacking energy must contain a significant contribution from other processes than simple stacking of adenosines. A generalization of the theory to treat multicomponent binding and longer-range interactions is effected, and the form applicable to simultaneous binding of both adenosine and guanosine by polyuridylic acid is presented.

    PMR chemical shifts of TFA in poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) solutions (1970)

    Notes: The present communication describes a new way of studying helix-random coil transformations of polypeptide, poly-(γ-benzyl L-glutamate), in benzene-trifluoracetic acid (TFA) and chloroform-TFA systems. The difference between the PMR chemical shift of TFA with and without the polypeptide, measured as Δ, may be used to follow the conformational transition. This technique is particularly useful for concentrated solutions, where the PMR peaks of the polymer are so broad that no valuable information may be derived. As the TFA content increases in the system (at constant polymer concentration), Δ decreases normally whether the polymer is helical or random. However, Δ changes in a different way in the helix-random coil transition region, and actually increases with increasing TFA content. This peculiar behavior is explained in terms of the solvation of the helix and random coil structures.

    Notes: A new procedure for evaluating u and σ characterizing σ-helix-forming polypeptides in solution was derived from Nagai's theory for the helix-coil transition of such polymers. Here u is the activity for helix formation from random coil, and σ is the helix initiation parameter. The necessary data are the helical content fN at fixed solvent and temperature as a function of N, where N is the degree of polymerization of the polypeptide sample. Such data were obtained from ORD measurements on a number of fractionated samples of poly-N5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine (PHPG) in mixtures of water and methanol covering the complete range of composition and at various termperatures (5-40°C). When analyzed in terms of the proposed procedure, they yielded values of σ which were in the range (3.2 ± 0.6) × 10-4, substantially independent of solvent composition and temperature. These values were much larger than those obtained recently for σ of poly(β-benzyl-L-aspartate) in m-cresol and in a mixture of chloroform and DCA. The data for [η] and s0 (limiting sedimentation coefficient) as functions of molecular weight indicated that the molecular shape of PHPG in pure methanol is essentially rodlike, whereas that in pure water is not entirely randomly coiled but rather may be regarded as an interrupted helix. These indications were consistent with the results from ORD measurements. When plotted against the corresponding values of fN, the values of [η] and [s0] for PHPG in mixtures of water and methanol of various compositions and temperatures formed smooth composite curves, and we attributed these phenomena to the fact that σ of PHPG was nearly constant under these solvent conditions. Here [s0] stands for a reduced limiting sedimentation coefficient which is equal to the inverse friction factor of the solute molecule.

    Notes: The interaction of purine with DNA, tRNA, poly A, poly C, and poly A. poly U complex was investigated. In the presence of purine, the nucleic acids in coil form (such as denatured DNA, poly A and poly C in neutral solutions, or tRNA) have lower optical rotations. In addition, hydrodynamic studies indicate that in purine solutions the denatured DNA has a higher viscosity and a decreased sedimentation coefficient. These findings indicate that through interaction with purine, the bases along the poly-nucleotide chain are unstacked and are separated farther from each other, resulting in increased assymmetry (and possibly volume) of the whole polymer. Thus, the de-naturation effect of purine reported previously can be explained by this preferential interaction of purine with the bases of nucleic acids in coil form through a hydrophobic-costacking mechanism. Results from studies on optical rotation and helix-coil transition show that the interaction of purine is greater with poly A than with poly C. The influence of temperature, Mg++ concentration, ionic strength, and purine concentration on the effect of purine on nucleic acid conformation has also been investigated. In all these situations the unraveling of nucleic acid conformation occurs at much lower temperatures (20-40°C lower) in the presence of purine (0.2-0.6M).

    Notes: The characteristic ratio of unperturbed cellulose chain was computed as a function of the angle τ at, the bridge oxygen atom and the degree of polymerization. Very high values of the order of 40 or more, depending on the angle at the bridge oxygen atom, have been obtained for this ratio, indicating that cellulose chains are highly extended. The average dimensions of cellulose chains are found to be sensitive even for small changes in the angle at the bridge oxygen, and these chains attain the character of a random coil in very high molecular weight range (degree of polymerization greater than 2000). The large differences in the unperturbed dimensions of cellulosic chains observed in different solvents have been attributed to the possible small changes in the angle τ caused by specific solvent, interactions.

    Notes: The conformational properties of block copolymers of poly-L-leucine in water have been examined. The degree of polymerization of the poly-L-leucine block was 11 and 21, respectively, for samples prepared by the Merrifield procedure, and 56 for a sample prepared by the polymerization of leucine N-carboxyanhydride. The optical rotatory dispersion parameter b0 was used to obtain the helix content θh at various temperatures. Application of the Lifson-Roig theory gave the following parameters for the transition of a residue from a coil to a helical state: v = 0.05-0.011, ΔH = +100 cal/mole, ΔS = +0.70-1.00 e. u. These parameters, as well as those for other polyamino acids, are accounted for by hydrophobic bonds involving the nonpolar side chains in the helical and randomly coiled forms. From the data for poly-L-alanine and theoretical values of the thermodynamic parameters for hydrophobic bond formation, the parameters for formation of a polyglycine helix are computed. By separating the contributions of the backbone, it is possible to obtain a set of thermodynamic parameters for the side-chain contributions of a number of polyamino acids. Increased size of the nonpolar side chain (with a larger contribution from hydrophobic bonding) makes a larger contribution to the stability of the α-helix which is reflected, among other ways, in a higher helix content at given temperature.

    Notes: The polymerization of DL-β-phenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) initiated by poly(N-benzylglycine)diethylamide (DEA) and poly(N-methyl-DL-alanine)DEA has been investigated. As previously reported, polysarcosine DEA, poly-N-ethylglycine DEA, and poly-N-n-propylglycine DEA showed marked accelerations in the polymerization of DL-β-phenylalanine NCA as compared with the polymerization initiated by low molecular weight, amines having similar base strength. However, this phenomenon (the chain effect) was not observed with the two polymer catalysts studied in the present investigation With poly-N-methyl-DL-alanine DEA, adsorption of DL-β-phenylalanine NCA onto the polymer chain takes place, though not so effectively as with other polypeptides, so the absence of chain effect was ascribed to a reduced flexibility of the polymer chain. With poly(N-benzylglycine)DEA, the reactivity of terminal base group was found to be much lower than that of other polymer catalysts. However, the absence of the chain effect would be attributed to the rigidity of polymer chain of poly-N-benzylglycine DEA due to the bulkiness of the N-benzyl group.

    Notes: Molecular weights by osmometry (M̄n), light scattering (M̄w), and sedimentation-diffusion (MsD) were determined for selected fractions and unfractionated samples of hyaluronic acid in the molecular weight range 3 × 104-1.7 × 106. For the determination of MsD from the sedimentation coefficient s, a calibration procedure based on the data of Laurent, Ryan, and Pietruszkiewicz gave the following relations in 0.2M NaCl: log (s-1)0 = 14.681 - 0.413 log MsD and log D0 = -3.828 - 0.568 log MsD, where subscript, zero refers to zero concentration and D is the diffusion coefficient. The average Mandelkern-Flory parameter β in 0.2M NaCl is 3.0 × 106. Data for the intrinsic viscosity [η] may be fitted for M 〉 105 by [η] = K′Ma, where K′, a are in 0.2M NaCl, 0.0228, 0.816; in 0.5M NaCl, 0.0318, 0.777; in 0.1 M HCl, 0.0279, 0.763, respectively. Below M = 105, [η] appears to fall below the values calculated, possibly due to non-Gaussian behavior of short chains. The second virial coefficient A2 in 0.5M NaCl approaches the ideal Donnan value, decreasing slightly with increasing molecular weight. The friction parameter P is about 20% smaller than that of uncharged polymers of similar dimensions. The flexible coiling nature of this polymer is confirmed.

    Notes: The formation of a slowly sedimenting form of 23-S ribosomal RNA from E. coli has been investigated by analytical ultracentrifugation and thermal denaturation in aqueous solution and in formamide. Evidence is presented that the slow form of 23-S arises as a result of nucleate damage to the RNA in the 50-S ribosome. The 30-S ribosome (and 16-S RNA), is unaffected. The slow form of 23-S RNA cannot be demonstrated under conditions of complete denaturation in formamide, but only by partial denaturation in aqueous solution of low ionic strength (〈 0.01M Na). Apparent maintenance of the integrity of 23-S RNA in formamide after nuclease treatment suggests that this may not be a simple linear molecule. An alternative model is suggested containing a circular element in the structure.

    Notes: Uniform LiDNA fiber specimens of nearly 20 m length have been prepared with a wet-spinning method developed by the author. Samples immersed in the spinning bath (80% ethyl alcohol containing 0.4M LiCl) have been subjected to mechanochemical study involving stretching, relaxation, and contraction measurements. A special technique was developed to transfer the sample from the Teflon-coated cylinder used in spinning to the sample column of the mechanochemical apparatus without stretching or removing the sample from the spinning bath. Force-strain curves of samples consisting of two fiber bundles showed an initial region of low slope followed by a region of high slope and a second region of low slope up to rupture. Some thicker specimens showed an aging effect which abolished the initial low-slope region and was interpreted as indicative of crystallization. Force-strain curves of two-bundle samples showed a strong influence of temperature with a complete loss of tensile strength of the LiDNA fibers in the spinning bath at about 55°C. Furthermore, samples at zero strain exhibited a contractile force when subjected to temperatures above about 40°C; the contractile process was pronounced with samples kept above 48°C. On contraction these samples obtained a zero-force length 20-30% of the original. These data are taken as evidence for a helix-to-coil transition occurring in the DNA, the low melting temperature being caused by the chemical influence of the ambient aqueous alcohol-LiCl bath.

    Notes: The molecular weight of native DNA is shown to decrease by at least a factor of two on denaturation by heat or alkali. This result is obtained only if low-angle (〈30°) light-scattering measurements are used. High-angle measurements (〉30°) do not reveal a decrease in molecular weight on denaturation due to the incorrect value for native DNA. The dn/dc value for both native and denatured DNA is 0.166 ml/g ± 0.003 ml/g. Methods are described for the clarification of native and denatured DNA solutions for light scattering by the use of membrane filters.

    Notes: Electric dichroism studies on poly(γ-benxyl L-glutamate) show that the addition of small amounts (up to 5%) of trifluoroacetic acid causes complete disappearance of dichroism in contrast to the electric birefringence, which drops to an observable plateau at 20% of its initial value. This loss of dichroism cannot be explained simply by a decrease in the effective dipole moment of the benzyl ester side chains, and the nature of this interaction is explored by nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectral studies. Theories of the helix-coil transition which require an initial protonation of the helix backbone to form a more flexible rod consisting of helical segments interrupted by regions of random coil are shown to be inadequate to describe the changes in poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) effected by small amounts of trifluoroacetic acid. Rather, trifluoroacetic acid in small amounts interacts with the ester carbonyl oxygen in the side chain, either by hydrogen bonding or protonation, before there is evidence of any effect on the backbone or of loss of helix content.

    Notes: The nonbonded interaction energy of disaccharides, mannobiose and galactobiose and polysaccharides mannan and galactan have been computed as a function of dihedral angles (φ,ψ). The conformation (40°, -20°) has been preferred for the mannan chain from nonbonded interaction energy considerations. The O5…O3′ type of intramolecular hydrogen bond has been found to be possible in the above conformation. Comparison of the allowed region of mannan with those of cellulose and xylan indicates that the monomer unit, in mannan chain has slightly higher freedom of rotation than that of cellulose and less than that of xylan. As in cellulose and mannan, the freedom of rotation of the monomer units in β-1,4′ galactan is highly restricted. Unlike mannan (which prefers an extended conformation) the β-1,4′ galactan prefers a helical conformation similar to amylose. Just as in amylose the O2…O3′ type hydrogen bond between contiguous residues is also possible in β-1,4′ galactan.

    Critical comparison of the experimental optical activity of helical polypeptides and the predictions of the molecular exciton model (1970)

    Notes: The predictions of the presently accepted molecular exciton model for the optical activity of helical polypeptides are in reasonable agreement with experimental spectra in the accessible wavelength range. However, crucial verification requires the detect of a significant negative rotatory hand just below the accessible range. A computer-oriented method is utilized to obtain information concerning the inaccessible range. Optical rotatory dispersion computed by evaluation of the Kronig-Kramers integral transform from the experimentally determined circular dichroism of several helical homopolypeptides in solution are compared with the experimentally determined optical rotatory dispersion. Computed and experimental curves are congruent within an uncertainty approaching that of the experimental technique, whatever the polypeptide sample lot, side chains, and solvent. It is shown that t his agreement is not a computational or experimental artifact. These results can be interpreted in two ways: (1) that the predicted band does not exist, and (2) that the perturbation of the predicted band is being negated by other inaccessible bands in the vacuum ultraviolet. Arguments are presented to show that the first of these two possibilities is more probable.

    Notes: The potential problem is formulated for rodlike macroions and reduced to a single dimensionless equation with appropriate boundary conditions. A method of solution based on piecewise linearization of the potential equation is detailed and compared with two other approaches. It is suggested that the present method yields improved estimates of macroion charges. Some numerical results are included, and the relation between electrophoretic charge and macroion charge is considered.

    Notes: The skin of Bagarius bagarius (Ham.) is devoid of scales but is rough due to the presence of numerous pentagonal epidermal elevations, which are separated by deep furrows at regular intervals. These elevated pentagonal regions of the epidermis are covered by dead cornified cells in the form of caps. As the old cap goes off a new one is formed by the death of the underlying epidermal cells. The middle layer of the epidermis is mainly composed of well defined polygonal cells. Their cytoplasm is granular in nature and give reactions for protein bound sulphydryl groups. The stratum germinativum is composed of two types of basal cells, the columnar cells and the spherical cells.The flask shaped mucous glands are restricted to the epidermal furrows and secrete either neutral or acidic mucopolysaccharides. Certain large specialysed granular cells are found in the epidermis which are grouped around the taste buds. These specialysed cells may be the photocytes.Two layers of the dermis can be distinguished - the relatively thin stratum laxum and the thick stratum compactum. Dermal papillae mainly support the taste buds. The pigment cells are arranged in two layers in the dermis.The subcutis is composed of loose connective tissues, richly infiltrated with the fat cells, nerves and blood capillaries.

    Notes: Electron microscope studies on Tylocephalum metacestodes embedded in the tissues of the oyster, Crassostrea virginica, have revealed that the tegument of the larval tapeworm is comprised of an external and an internal level which are partially separated by a basal lamina and two layers of muscles. The outer tegumentary level is comprised of an anucleate, cytoplasmic syncytium in which are embedded large and small vesicles and mitochondria. Surfacial hooks are also embedded therein. The internal level is comprised of relatively large discrete cells including mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and large and small vesicles. These cells are intermittently connected with the external level by cytoplasmic bridges.Arising from the external level are unusual microvilli each of which terminates as a spherical vesicle. The stem of each microvillus is covered by a unit membrane which is continuous with that overlaying the body surface. In addition, each microvillus includes an external layer of medium electron density, a medial layer of intense electron density, and a core of heterogenous, medium electron density. These structures may be intertwined and bundles can be observed at the light microscope level as fibril-like projections from the parasite's body surface. One of their possible functions may be to prevent intimate contact between the encapsulating fibers of host origin and the parasite's body surface. In addition, the contraction and distention of the circular muscles result in microvillar movement which may keep the surrounding host fluids, including those of nutritional importance to the parasite, in a state of flux thus hypothetically permitting more uniform uptake.The abundance of vesicles in the syncytial external level of the tegument appears to be characteristic of the more primitive marine cestodes belonging to the orders Trypanorhyncha and Lecanicephala.

The patterns in the cuticles examined range from a simple absence of “melanization” to a complex of histological changes involving “melanization” and deposition. Ultrastructural changes in the post-emergent cuticle of Sarcophaga bullata during the hardening and darkening process and cuticle deposition are described.

    Notes: Morphological study of Corynosoma hamanni (Linstow, 1892) was continued with the intention of presenting a morphological description of a single, well defined species.Sexual dimorphism is exhibited in body size, males being larger, and in body spination. Trunk spines are arranged in a pattern similar to that of Corynosoma semerme and do not extend onto the bursa as reported in the original description of C. hamanni.Two testes, located side by side, are followed by six cement glands arranged in two groups of three glands each. One group is behind each testis. Cement ducts from glands on the right side cross over Saefftigen's pouch and join to form a reservoir on the left side; ducts from cement glands on the left side fuse forming a second reservoir. The two cement reservoirs unite before emptying into the ejaculatory duct. The bursa possesses rays on its outer wall and numerous, well-developed papillae in the muscular cap.In females, a ruptured genital ligament sac is attached partially on the dorsal wall of the uterine bell and partially on a column of six cells projecting from the bell's base into its lumen. Postericrly the dorsal wall of the bell has two protruding pockets behind which occur ten cells composing the selector apparatus. Dorsal openings into the pseudocoelom occur on either side of the uterine bell. Two muscular tubes conduct eggs into the uterus. Female C. hamanni frequently form genital vestibules in which the genital pore occurs along the dorsal wall and not, as reported for some species, at the anterior tip.Eggs of C. hamanni possess four membranes rather than the previously reported three.

    Notes: A seasonal study of the seminal vesicles in relation to that of the testes had been conducted in the catfish, H. fossilis. The annual reproductive cycle of the catfish has been divided into (i) Preparatory period (February-April), (ii) Prespawning period (May-June), (iii) Spawning period (July-August) and (iv) Postspawning period (September-January). Testes exhibit initiation of spermatogenesis in the mid-preparatory period, but significant increase in weight of the testes accompanied by active spermatogenesis occurs during the prespawning period. In the spawning period, the testes are maximally enlarged and their seminiferous tubules are packed with spermatozoa. Following spawning, the testes gradually regress in the postspawning period. The seminal vesicles show initiation of secretory activity during the preparatory period but their recrudescence lags behind that of the testes by about a month. The seminal vesicles attain maximum weight and secretory activity during the spawning period. Thereafter, the seminal vesicles regress precipitously and sooner than the testes.The histochemical and biochemical studies on the seminal vesicles indicate that the secretion contains mucoproteins, acid mucopolysaccharides, primary proteoses, besides traces of phospholipids and native proteins.

    Notes: During cleavage of honeybee eggs two peaks arise in the longitudinal distribution pattern of the periplasm which coincide with the site of the differentiation center and the site of a mesodermal center. A very similar pattern is exhibited by the dorsal plasmstrip, a narrow band of thicker periplasm which is formed during cleavage along the dorsal midline of the egg. The present paper describes the development of the dorsal plasmstrips of two inbred strains of honeybees during early cleavage stages. Differences between the two strains reside in the total size of their dorsal plasmstrips and in the timing of the formation of the anterior peak which coincides with the site of the differentiation center. The bearing of these findings upon embryological studies is discussed.

    Notes: The “cuticle,” which revests the starfish tube foot, has been studied by electron microscopy and the findings correlated with histochemical observations.The “cuticle” is composed by two distinct zones; an outer zone including numerous microvilli, which extend from the inner zone into and through a fibrillar substance distinctly organized in two layers. These microvilli protrude slightly beyond the outer surface, where their tips give rise tonumerous extremely delicate fibrils. The second inner zone, of quite variable thickness and condensation of material, presents a coarser fibrous matrix where organelles and inclusions can be found.The whole cuticular complex does not derive from the majority of the epithelial cells, but is probably an extension of a special kind of T-shaped cells appearing at intervals, the “cuticle” forming a syncytial surface.Histochemical investigations indicate that the “cuticle” contains a combination of neutral and acid mucopolysaccharide, with a marked neutral predominance, the outer one displaying also an extremely thin coat of acid mucopolysaccharide with the sulfate group.The ordered arrangement of the microvilli suggests that this situation is imposed by the strong bond existing between the microvilli and the ouble mucopolysaccharide layers which would act as a cementing substance stabilizing the entire apical surface of the cell.

    Notes: The length of the oviduct, the thickness of its wall, and the height of its mucosal epithelium and cilia were measured in (a) 0-, 2-, 4- and six-month-old rabbits, (b) rabbits ovariectomized at birth and (c) ovariectomized, estrogen-treated rabbits. The length and external diameter of the oviduct increased progressively until four months of age, after which their rates of increase declined. The thickness of the oviductal wall at the uterotubal junction was twice as large as that of the isthmus at two months of age and six times as large at four and six months of age. The height of the mucosal epithelium in the fimbriae was less than that in other oviductal segments at birth, but exceeded that in other segments at six months of age. Ciliated cells and motile cilia were absent 24 hours after birth; they were first observed two months after birth. The cilia of fimbriae were shorter than cilia elsewhere in the oviduct. Neonatal ovariectomy retarded the development of the oviduct and the mesotubarium and caused pyknosis of ciliated and non-ciliated cells of the oviductal mucosa. Cells with scarcely motile cilia were present five and one-half months after neonatal ovariectomy.

    Notes: The epidermis of 146 specimens of Dipsosaurus dorsalis and 182 Uma notata collected throughout the active period of the animals' year has been examined. The morphology of the epidermis is essentially similar to previously described lacertilians but differs in the relatively great degree of development of the mesos layer and the complete keratinization of the lacunar tissue prior to sloughing.Analysis of sloughing frequency throughout the year suggests that species specific patterns may exist, but these do not correlate with any particular known ecologic datum. The patterns do not reflect the reproductive activity of the two species supporting previous experimental conclusions on the lack of effect of gonadial hormones on epidermal activity.There appears to be no evidence of association of femoral gland activity with epidermal activity in D. dorsalis, but the situation is not clearcut in U. notata. These data are discussed in the light of recent studies of the evolutionary origin of epidermal glands in lizards.

    Notes: The structural changes of mitochondria that occur during oogenesis and early embryogenesis in the rabbit have been examined with the electron microscope. Mitochondria of oogonia are both elongate and oval and contain a variable number of cristae which may or may not traverse the longitudinal axis of the organelle. When oogonia differentiate into oocytes, mitochondria become spheroidal and their cristae are sparse when compared with those found in the ellipsoidal organelles of concomitantly maturing follicle cells. As differentiation proceeds, the cristae of the mitochondria display varied configurations. For example, many display an arch-like arrangement in several regions of the organelle whereas others contain a pair of concentric membranes closely associated with limiting membrane of the mitochondrion.Mitochondria of stages from the fertilized egg to the morula possess the same internal structure as those of young oocytes. As the morula differentiates into a blastocyst there is a gradual increase in the size of the mitochondria and an increase in the number of cristae. We believe that the number and modifications of cristae indicate stages of mitochondriogenesis and the level of enzymatic activity in which this organelle is engaged during oogenesis and early embryogenesis.

    Notes: The reproductive tracts of several species of lizards were examined to understand the events assoclated with the transport of discharged oocytes following ovulation. At the onset of the reproductive cycle the regressed ovaries and oviducts appear as inconspicuous structures pressed against the dorsal body wall. As the reproductive cycle progresses, they undergo marked changes in position and size. The oviducts migrate ventrally and surround the growing ovarian oocytes, which move anteriorly where coelomic space is more abundant and eventually press intimately against the infundibulum. When ovulation occurs the ostium is in a remarkably strategic location for directly receiving the ovulated oocytes. The virtual isolation of the ovaries from the general coelom by the encapsulating oviducts, and the intimate association of the pre-ovulatory oocytes with the infundibular ostium do not support the current concept advocating the migration of loose ova following ovulation. An alternative explanation for the “trans-coelomic migratiion of ova” is proposed.

    Notes: A fine structure study of spermatids and spermatozoa of the spider, Pisaurina sp. demonstrates that early spermiogenesis is similar to other flagellate spermatozoa. An acrosome forms from a Golgi-derived, acrosomal vesicle, a perforatorium indents acromosome and nucleus, a flagellum with a three-plus-nine tubule substructure is formed and nuclear chromatin condenses during spermiogenesis. Divergence from typical spermatozoa includes the presence of a three-tubule substructure of the central flagellar shaft, progressive rounding-up of late spermatids with concomitant incorporation of previously formed flagellum. This evidence is presented in terms of its possible functional significance in fertilization and gamete fusion in spiders.

    Notes: Gross morphology, staining characteristics and mapping of the diversity of the neurosecretory cell types in the brain and subesophageal ganglion of the scorpion Heterometrus swammerdami are reported. Special neurosecretory cell groups whose product is stainable with orange-G, acid fuchsin and Heidenhain's hematoxylin are present in the brain.In many of the living isolated neurosecretory cells, the secretory material appears luminous when viewed with dark ground illumination and granular when observed with phase contrast microscope.In the subesophageal ganglion the metameric arrangement of neurosecretory cells is distinct. Neurosecretory product accumulating in specific regions of subesophageal ganglion, and its axonal transport into the dorsal nerves and their termination in cephalic blood vessels apparently representing a storage and release organ of neurosecretion is reported.

    Notes: The placental memebranes and uterus of the garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis, were studied using histological, histochemical, electron microscopic, dye transfer, and radioisotopic techniques. The conceptuses are completely enclosed throughout gestation by a transparent shell membrane which is produced by glandular epithelia in the uterine segment of the oviduct.Both chorio-allantoic and omphalo (yolk-sac) placentation are observed in this snake. The growth of the extra-embryonic mesoderm takes place in a manner peculiar to placental reptiles, and results in the isolation of the omphaloplacenta from the yolk-sac wall. On the basis of morphology, enzyme histochemistry, and phagocytosis of Trypan blue particles, this structure is interpreted as a site of histiotrophic absorption.The chorio-allantoic region of placentation is simple in structure. Fetal and maternal capillaries are closely apposed but always separated by layers of uterine and chorionic epithelium and the thin shell membrane. The placental membranes of the garter snake are similar in many respects to those of other live-bearing snakes, but less specialized than most lizard placentate.Isotopically labelled sodium and glycine are passed to the fetus following maternal injection, the latter at least apparently via the omphaloplacenta. The permeability to iron and phospate is extremely low. On the basis of these results and the selective transfer of certain dyestuffs, it appears that the shell membrane functions as a dialyzing membrane.

    Notes: Spermatozoa of the hydroid Pennaria tiarella were examined with the electron microscope. The anterior region is characterized by the presence of 30-40 membrane-bounded vesicles which lie anterior to the nucleus. These vesicles are apparently derived from the Golgi apparatus.The nucleus is conical in shape with a protrusion at the anterior end. Posteriorly it is indented by four radially arranged mitochondria. Lying within the fossa formed by the mitochondria are proximal and distal (filament forming) centrioles. The distal centriole is characterized by nine centriole satellite projections which emanate from its matrix. The tubules of the distal centriole are continuous with the alpha filaments of the tail.The tails are typical 9 + 2 flagella with 9 peripheral doublet (or alpha) filaments surrounding two central (or beta) filaments.

    Notes: The principal parenchymal elements of the submandibular glands of the heteromyid rodents Dipodomys merriami, Perognathus longimembris, Perognathus fallax, Perognathus penicillatus and Perognathus baileyi consist of acini, granular tubules and striated ducts.Acinar cells of the four species of Perognathus are aniline blue, PAS (magenta) and Alcian blue (pH 2.5) positive and metachromatic with toluidine blue and safranin. The granules of the tubule cells are orthochromatic and react with aniline blue, orange G, the PAS reagent (deep pink) and the tryptophan indicator, xanthydrol. Acinar and tubule cells of D. merriami exhibit similar reactions except for the Alcian blue stain. Acinar cells of D. merriami do not react with Alcian blue.Submandibular glands of D. merriami exhibit a sexual dimorphism of the granular tubules. There is little observable difference between the sexes in the species of Perognathus but the ratio of granular tubules to acinar elements, the degree of hypertrophy of the tubules, and the amount of mucosubstance and protein (granules) contained in their cells are different in the four species studied.Since these desert rodents have similar habitats and habits, the differences observed between the two heteromyid subfamilies studied, as well as among the four members of a single subfamily, suggest that these are inherent species variations rather than variations of adaptation to environment.

    Notes: The external prostate of male hedgehogs (Erinaceus europeus, Hemiechinus sp.) was studied at the beginning and at the end of the breeding seasons. Its tubular secretory units contain two types of epithelia, columnar and stratified. The columnar epithelium has abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and forms secretory granules. The stratified epithelium undergoes cellular changes culminating in appearance of nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions, nuclear pyknosis and desquamation of cells and nuclei into lumen. The nuclear inclusions contain protein and abundant silver-reducing substances. These inclusions may be derived from the residual protein of the nucleus.

    Notes: Integument from blue and green areas of the variant blue frog were analyzed biochemically for pteridines and carotenoids. Solvent extraction and absorption spectrophotometry indicated that β carotene was greatly reduced in the blue skin, and present in high quantities in the green skin of the blue frog. Thin layer and paper chromatography indicated that the pteridines were almost totally lacking in the blue skin, and present in normal quantities in the green skin of the blue frog.Light and electron microscopy indicated that the xanthophore pigment cells were either greatly altered or absent from the blue integument and present in the green integument. The fine structure of the xanthphores of the green integument contained the normal ultrastructural components of xanthopores found in regular green integument. The blue integument contained an abnormal cell type that occupied the position in the dermal chromatophore unit normally held by the xanthophores. The possibility of these cells being abnormal xanthophores or some other cell type is discussed.

    Notes: The spleen of the armadillo is invested by a capsule composed predominantly of smooth muscle. Inward extensions from the capsule contribute to an extensive system of trabeculae of the non-vascular type. The white pulp presents a typical follicular arrangement and the red pulp is permeated by an anastomosing series of venous sinsuses. The capillary segment of the penicillar artery is invested by an ellipsoid sheath. The spleen of the armadillo may be included in the class of mammalian spleens characterized as sinusal in nature and possessing ellipsoid sheaths. Electron micrographs of thin sections of the sheathed capillaries demonstrate a high-type of endothelium. A characteristic feature of this endothelium is the presence of a distinct intracytoplasmic fibrous component.The reticular cells comprising the sheath proper exhibit various sized vacuoles and inclusion bodies suggestive of their potentially phagocytic nature. In both light and electron microscopy, venous sinuses lie in close proximity to the peripheral cells of the ellipsoid sheaths. Within the wall of the venous sinuses, patent openings are appearent between the lining cells. If such an arrangement exists in the functional state of the organ, it could provide for an additional means of exposure of both plasma and cellular elements to the adjacent phagocytic cells of the sheath proper.

    Notes: The aggregation in vitro of embryonic neural retina cells was studied by electron microscopy with special emphasis on the reformation of intercellular junctions. The results show that (1) embryonic neural retina cells dissociated with trypsin retain morphological characteristics and polarity after dispersion into a suspension; (2) initial adhesions between the aggregating cells are nonspecific with respect to cell type and to the site of cell surface involved; (3) histogenetic associations in clusters of reaggregated cells appear within two hours after the start of aggregation. A hypothesis is presented that coated vesicles play a role in the formation of intercellular junctions.

    Notes: Observations on inner ear structure were made in five species of Scincidae, together with measurements of auditory sensitivity in terms of cochlear potentials. The basilar membrane and auditory papilla show a characteristic form, with considerable uniformity in dimensions except for a moderate expansion in the dorsal region and a more prominent one at the ventral end.A characteristic feature is the presence of a tectorial membrane that covers a large part of the surface of the medial limbus, but never leaves this surface and thus fails to make any contact with the auditory papilla. Hair-cell stimulation is achieved entirely through operation of the inertia principle (or equivalent principles) by means of a chain of sallets extending along most of the cochlea but giving way in the region of the ventral expansion to a single large body, the culmen papillae.The sensitivity varies in the five skinks studied from better than average to some-what below average in comparison with other lizard species. Thus an inertial (or inertia-like) system of hair-cell stimulation compares favorably with the tectorial membrane (restraint) system exhibited in the ears of most other lizards and all the higher animals.

    Notes: Spiders possess curved, blunt-tipped hairs on all legs and palps, which differ in many details from the straight, sharp-pointed, tactile hairs: (1) the blunt tip is open to the outside, which can be demonstrated by high resolution microscopy and by the penetration of dyes; (2) the hair shaft has a double lumen which consists of a circular (tube) and a crescent shaped lumen; (3) this hair is innervated by two to three bipolar neurons whose dendrites enter the small tube, where they arborize into 16-20 branches. Multiple innervation and an open tip give strong evidence for a chemoreceptive function. Concluding from their position and distribution on the distal leg parts, a contact chemoreception is tentatively proposed. This interpretation is supported by the close structural analogy to the known contact chemoreceptors in insects. Observation of behavior indicates the importance of a contact chemoreceptor on spider legs. Other possible chemoreceptors in spiders which have been described previously by other authors are discussed.

    Notes: In a study of survival of embryonic grafts in turtles, Chelydra was used as host and Chrysemys and Amyda as donors. Somites and overlying ectoderm with or without adjacent neural tube were transplanted. The operations were unilateral and orthotopic. The involved the anterior portion of the carapace. In other experiments, bilateral neural crest and dorsal neural tube were transplanted orthotopically.In experiments with Chrysemys as donor, pigment cells formed conspicuous red areas ventrally when neural crest was included in the graft. This pigment faded gradually but persisted for three or four years.When somites and adjacent ectoderm of Chrysemys carapace were transplanted, the graft area was lightly pigmented at hatching. This pigmentation increased subsequently. The Chrysemys grafts were either accepted or partially rejected. In cases of apparent complete acceptance, the graft region took on characteristics of the host.When Amyda served as donor of carapace rudiments, the graft area retained characteristics of the donor. At hatching, dark spots on a yellow background were present and scutes were absent. A few months after hatching, the graft area became necrotic. Subsequently, scutes with host characteristics or skin covered the graft area.

    Notes: Changing spermatozoan associations were observed in the epididymides of several mammals. These associations ranged from closely interwoven cylindrical bodies, found in the proximal part of the epididymis, to disorganized masses of spermatozoa, found in the distal part of the duct. It is suggested that changes in the cohesive properties of epididymal spermatozoa resulted in the formation and fragmentation of cylindrical bodies. These bodies, differeing in pattern and complexity according to the species, were found in all investigated mammals, including man. Cohesiveness appeared first in the upper part of the epididymidis, where it was confined to the spermatozoan tails. In general, there was a diminution of cohesive forces as the spermatozoa passed down the epididymal duct; consequently, the cylindrical bodies turned into disorganized masses of spermatozoa. There are indications that changes in the cohesive properties of spermatozoa may represent one aspect of spermatozoan maturation.

    Notes: Large number of annuli in Hirudinea are not true segments, and in the absence of spacious bodycavity and septa in adult no decision was taken regarding limit of a somite, until Gratiolet 1862 recognised a segment by colour marking, repetition of nephridial openings, and especially by the presence of segmental receptors, distinguishing first annulus of a segment. Whitman 1884 gave precision to these determinations and analyzed morphology of leeches to logical completeness. He recognised that though Hirudinaria and Hirudo have 102 body annuli and posterior sucker, true segments are only 26 plus 7.Castle ('00) and Moore ('00) proposed a new scheme of segmentation, with segmental receptor bearing annulus, as central annulus of a complete somite, with nerve ganglion, like that of other annelids, in center of a segment. They orientated everything roundabout the ganglion without noticing distorted fate of organ system.In this paper both the views are compared. Morphological and embryological studies reveal that the annulus bearing the segmental receptors in uniformly first annulus of all segments, including incomplete segments at the two extremities, with nerve ganglion in first annulus of the segment.Clitellum occupies three natural segments, IX, X, XI; crop caeca, nephridia, testis sacs, haemocoelomic channels and “rhomboidal figures” formed by ventrolaterals, all make a complete unit, well integrated in such segment. Conclusive evidence comes from the presence of septa at the level of each nerve ganglion in embryos of Hirudinaria. These observations corroborate Gratiolet and Whitman's view.

    Notes: Sperm from the male spermatophore in the red spotted newt are held indefinitely in convoluted, tubular outpocketings of the female cloaca called, collectively, a spermatheca. Each outpocketing, or tubule, when studied in thin section with the electron microscope showed a wall consisting of two components, a continuous inner or lining layer of epithelial cells and an outer covering layer of myoepithelial cells.The myoepithelial layer is penetrated by occasional openings or intercellular spaces through which the epithelial cells make contact with a basal lamina that bounds the tubule. The myoepithelial cells resemble smooth muscle cells displaying filaments (mean diameter = 75 Å ± 1 S.E.) that are probably constituted of actin, dense bodies and prominent caveolae. They are sparsely supplied with mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi complexes and, sometimes, particles of glycogen. Typically the epithelial cells contain secretion granules, numerous mitochondria and ribosomes. They contain some fibers similar to those of the myoepithelial cells but with mean diameters that are significantly larger (90 Å ± 2 S.E.). Occasional profiles of Golgi complexes are evident and glycogen particles are abundant throughout the cytosomes of spermathecal tubules from adult animals bearing sperm. Secretory granules and glycogen are extremely rare or lacking in the spermathecae of efts that have not attained sexual maturity and in animals with ablated or involuted ovaries. In such animals large electron-lucid vesicles appear at or near luminal borders. Glycogen is absent and secretory granules show signs of dissolution in the spermathecal cells of gravid females induced to ovulate by the injection of chorionic gonadotropin. It is indicated that the epithelial cells provide nourishment for the sperm while they are retained within the spermathecal tubules, that the discharge of sperm from the spermatheca is facilitated by the contraction of the myoepithelial cells and that gonadal hormones act in the regulation of spermathecal function.

    Notes: A fine structural analysis of the ovotestis in Aplysia was undertaken in order to analyze the site of action of the bag cell hormone. Five stages of oocyte development are described. Of particular interest is the fact that the yolk seems to be synthesized primarily by the granular endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, small muscle cells whose long, thin processes surround the follicle of the ovotestis have been pointed out. This paper suggests that bag cell extract has a direct action on these small muscle cells causing them to contract and thus expel oocytes from the ovotestis. The evidence for this suggestion is that (1) these muscle cells are the most obvious effector cells in the ovotestis, (2) there are no signs of neural innervation of these muscles, (3) the time course for the liberation of the oocytes is so short that any other method of oocyte release is unlikely, (4) there is no cytologic evidence for any other expulsion process except muscular contraction, and (5) the ripe oocytes are attached to other cells of the wall of the ovotestis only by very small, simple junctions, thus making them the most likely cells to be expelled by muscular contraction.

    Notes: The structure and polysaccharide constitution of the jelly capsule of the egg of Rana pipiens is described. Microscopic examination of the jelly capsule revealed the presence of five discrete jelly layers that differed clearly in their response to selected cytochemical tests. These layers were classified as M1-through M5 from the inner to the outermost layer. A sixth layer occasionally could be observed between M3 and M4.All layers contain neutral mucopolysaccharides. In addition layers M1 and M3 contain sulphated mucopolysaccharides, M2 and M4 contain non-sulphated acid mucopolysaccharides, and layer M5 contains both sulphated and non-sulphated acid mucopolysaccharides. M2 may also contain a small quantity of sulphated mucopolysaccharides. The layer that occasionally appears between M3 and M4 is probably an area in which free acidic groups are in higher concentration than in adjacent areas rather than being a discrete jelly layer. Neither hyaluronic acid nor sialic acid was localized by the methods employed.The possible significance of some of these constituents is discussed.

    Notes: Meiosis is described in virgin females, inseminated females and males of the acarid mite Caloglyphus mycophagus (Megnin). The observed sex determining mechanism is an XO-type with the male having a diploid chromosome number of 15. Oogenesis in mated females is regular. Pachytene is the earliest meiotic stage which is readily identifiable. At metaphase I eight bivalents are observed. Both products of the first maturation division divide at the second maturation division. After the fusion of the pronuclei either 15 or 16 chromosomes are observed in cleaving eggs.Nurse cells are not observed during the growth period of the oocyte. Such oocytes are attached to a central structure of the ovary by a cone-shaped organelle. At this stage the nucleus appears as a germinal vesicle; a nucleolus is present and the diffuse chromatin appears to extend from the nucleolus to the nuclear membrane. Nuclear extrusion bodies can be seen adjacent to the nuclear membrane both within and outside of the nucleus.Virgin females do not oviposit. The aberrant morphology and behavior of bivalents in post diakinetic oocytes which have not been penetrated by a sperm are described. Neither chromatin nor a chorion could be demonstrated in aberrant oocytes situated in the oviduct. It is suggested that oocyte degeneration in virgins is an adaptive feature in an animal order in which parthenogenesis is the more common mode of reproduction.

    Notes: It is demonstrated that dicarboxylic acids of uniform lengths, obtained by degrading chain-folded polyethylene single crystals, can be converted to paraffins via the intermediate diiodide by means of the procedure of Barton et al. Thus we are now in the position of obtaining uniform paraffins of chain lengths longer than hitherto available for the study of the crystallization of oligomeric chains. Measurements of melting points and heats of fusion revealed major differences between the paraffins and the corresponding parent dicarboxylic acids. It follows that such measurements on the unmodified products of the nitric acid degradation cannot be used directly for the assessment of the chain traverse length and the degree of crystallinity. It was found further, that the intermediate diiodide is a sufficiently close approximation to the paraffin for the purposes just quoted.

    Notes: The theoretical justification for using M[η], or a similar quantity, as a universal calibration parameter in GPC is reviewed. The equation based on this parameter is applied to transform the primary calibration curve, obtained by means of polystyrene samples, into calibration curves for poly-α-methylstyrene, polypropylene, and linear polyethylene. The Mark-Houwink equations for these polymers, as they are used in the transformation, are discussed. The resulting GPC calibration curves are compared with molecular weights and peak elution volumes of fractionated poly-α-methylstyrene and polypropylene. The same comparison is made with samples of polypropylene and polyethylene having very broad molecular weight distributions. The agreement lies within experimental error.

    Notes: A discussion is given of the behavior of a mathematical model chosen to approximate conditions during precipitation chromatographic fractionation of polymer (Baker Williams fractionation). With only one molecular weight species of polymer a complete solution of the mathematical model was obtained. With more than one species it was necessary to use a computer solution. Curves showing the movement of polymer containing one and two species of polymer are given for a variety of conditions of operation. It was found that the degree of fractionation of polymer approaches a limiting value with increasing length of column. Under some conditions the degree of fractionation may go through a maximum with length of column. The equilibrating distance (distance of travel of the liquid phase required to establish equilibrium of polymer between the liquid and the bed) was found to be very important in determining the fractionation.

    Notes: Studies have been made on the dynamic and steady-shear melt rheology of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer and two of its salts obtained by partial neutralization with sodium and with calcium bases. Measurements were made with a Weissenberg rheogoniometer over a broad range of shear rates and frequency in the temperature interval mainly from 100 to 160°C. The temperature coefficients of dynamic and steady shear viscosity are evaluated at both constant shear rate and constant stress. Likewise, complex dynamic viscosities and apparent high steady-flow viscosities and intercompared at equivalent frequencies and shear rates. The un-ionized acid copolymer shows good correlation between the frequency dependence of the complex viscosity and the shear rate dependence of the apparent viscosity. This is not true for either the sodium salt or the calcium salt. These results are consistent with the two-phase structural model for these materials, i.e., a matrix of hydrocarbon in which are embedded ionic domains.

    Notes: The enchanced low-shear melt viscosity of branched polybutadienes is shown to be sensitive to dilution with low molecular compounds. The viscosity of branched polymers falls more rapidly with dilution than that of linear polymers, i.e., branched polymers show increased response to plasticization. At least one instance is demonstrated in which the viscosity ratio ηbr/ηlin reverses from a value greater than unity to less than one in passing from dry polymer to rubber extended with relatively large quantities of oil.

    Notes: Normal stress and shear stress of concentrated polystyrene solutions in a chlorinated diphenyl were measured under steady flow and oscillatory shear flow in a Weissenberg rheogoniometer. The normal stress difference was observed to oscillate at double the frequency of the applied shear strain with amplitude proportional to the square of the applied amplitude, while the shear stress was found to oscillate at the same frequency with amplitude proportional to the applied amplitude. A theoretical relation between the displacement of the oscillatory normal stress difference from zero level and the dynamic modulus derived by Lodge and other investigators was confirmed experimentally, and the theoretical predictions of Coleman and Markovitz concerning the relation among steady-flow normal stress difference and dynamic modulus were also confirmed. However, the theoretical predictions of Lodge, of Spriggs, Huppler and Bird, and of Williams on the relation between the amplitude and phase of oscillatory normal stress and those of oscillatory shear stress did not agree with experimental results.

Single crystals of polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1, polyacrylonitrile, and cellulose triacetate have been obtained by this method. Different stages of growth reveal different growth features that are also obtained from solutions of these polymers by changing temperature and concentration.

    Notes: The high degree of flexibility of blends containing minor amounts of partly crystalline copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate in paraffin wax seems to be a manifestation of some type of interaction. Low-angle x-ray diffraction of such blends showed a new long spacing intermediate in length between the polymer long spacing and the c axis length of the wax unit cell. This new long spacing appears to be a consequence of isomorphism involving cocrystallization of polymeric ethylene sequences and wax molecules. A lesser type of isomorphic interaction, epitaxy, occurs in polyethylene-wax blends: wax overgrows crystals of already crystallized polyethylene in the same orientation without a change in its c axial dimension.

    Notes: We have derived from the Eyring theory of non-Newtonian flow a yield condition which is valid for an arbitrary state of stress. Experimental data obtained in simple axial compression tests show the influence of the hydrostatic stress on the yielding of poly(vinyl chloride). This fact confirms the proposed condition and disproves the von Mises criterion. Tension-torsion tests performed on thin tubes lead to results which fit our condition fairly well. The pattern of Lüders' lines appearing on the surface of thin tubes subjected to simple tension, simple shear, and tension-torsion are parallel to the direction where the value of the normal stress is equal to the hydrostatic stress.

    Notes: The melting temperatures of homopolymers of poly(ethylene sebacate) possessing a most probable molecular weight distribution and ordered copolymers of ethylene sebacate/propylene adipate were studied by slow heating processes and by the analysis of the dependence of the melting temperature on the crystallization temperature utilizing rapid heating rates. For the ordered copolyesters, where the composition of the crystallizing co-units ranged from 0.8 to 0.2 mole fraction the latter method gave results which were similar to those that have been obtained for the other polymer systems that have been studied. Extrapolated equilibrium melting temperatures could be obtained in a straightforward manner and were found to be independent of the copolymer composition in accord with theoretical expectations. On the other hand, a unique set of results were obtained for the homopolymers. A plot of the relationship between the melting temperature and the crystallization temperature for all the molecular weights studied gave a slope close to unity. This made it operationally impossible to extrapolate to the equilibrium melting temperature for this system.

    Notes: An investigation of the internal motion in organosilicon polymers by wideline nuclear magnetic resonance has been extended to a pair of dimethylpolysilazanes crosslinked through trifunctional silicon. The data suggest that there is considerable internal motion in all silazanes at 77°K. Evidence is presented for the presence of C3 rotation of the methyl groups, as well as rotation or torsional oscillation of the Si(CH3)2 groups about the polymer backbone. Upon warming the NMR line is seen to narrow, and this is associated with the onset of additional motion, including chain translation and chain flexing or bending. Crosslinking through silicon increases the barrier to chain translation while decreasing the barrier to chain flexing or bending.

    Notes: Poly-2,5-distyrylpyrazine (poly-DSP) was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and measurements of dynamic viscoelastic and electrical properties. From DTA and TGA studies it was confirmed that poly-DSP melts at 321°C and depolymerizes rapidly to the monomer at temperatures between 335°C and 345°C in helium. The polymer is affected by oxygen above 200°C. The E′ value from dynamic viscoelasticity measurements on amorphous film is 2 × 1011 dyne/cm2 at room temperature. It decrease abruptly in the temperature range 140-150°C; but the net decrease of E′ within this temperature range is relatively small. The electrical properties of amorphous poly-DSP are characterized by a small temperature dependence of the dielectric constant between room temperature and 100°C. The dielectric loss tangent was observed to be small, and the dc conductivity was extremely small. It is concluded that rotation of the phenyl branches in the polymer occurs above -30°C and the glass transition occurs at about 150°C. These properties are discussed in some detail in relation to the polymer structure.

    Notes: Comonomer and stereosequence distributions in linear high polymers are considered from the point of view of the general theory of stationary random sequences. Although the discussion is centered about binary polymerizations which may be regarded as stationary Markov processes of low order, attention is paid to distinguish results valid for any stationary random process including stationary non-Markov processes from those special to a particular Markov process. Alternative derivations of copolymer composition equations are given along with a corrected version of a previously suggested scheme of relating conditional probabilities of different orders. The nature and relative merits of the several measures proposed in the literature to characterize comonomer and stereosequence distributions are also discussed in some detail.

    Dielectric absorption in oriented poly(vinylidene fluoride)Paper presented in part at the 16th Annual Meeting, Society of Polymer Science of Japan, Tokyo, 1967. (1970)

    Notes: The dielectric behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride) is affected by orientation and crystal modification. The loss peak caused by molecular motion of the molecules in crystalline regions appears at about 70°C (110 Hz) (α1 absorption) for the α form, and at about 110°C (110 Hz) (α2 absorption) for the β form. Orientation significantly affects the magnitude of the β absorption which appears at about -40°C. The very high value of the dielectric constant for stretched film is believed to be due to the orientation effect. The γ absorption, which is assumed to be local-mode absorption, is not so much affected by orientation. An additional loss peak has been found at around 0°C in dynamic mechanical measurements, but the molecular mechanism is unknown.

    A dynamic approach to diffusion and permeation measurements (1970)

    Notes: A dynamic method for investigating the mechanism of permeation and diffusion through polymers has been explored. The permeation cell consists of two compartments separated by the membrane. The permeant (gas, vapor, or liquid) is introduced into one compartment; a carrier gas (helium) flows at constant rate through the other and sweeps the permeant which diffuses through the membrane to the thermal conductivity detector. Both compartments are at atmospheric pressure; thus no or little membrane support is required, and leakage problems are minimal. Moreover, the same membrane can be used over a wide temperature range and for diverse permeants. The detector signal is at any instant proportional to the permeation rate. A simple mathematical formalism for deriving the diffusion coefficient from the transient permeation rates has been developed. The measured diffusion and permeability coefficients of CO2, O2, and N2 through low-density polyethylene closely agree with literature values. Permeation of hexane and benzene through polyethylene follows a complex diffusion law, and the rate depends on the thermal history of the system. The dynamic method is particularly suited to the study of transitions in polymers. Changes in permeation rates, usually occurring at transition points, can easily be discovered by slow temperature scanning of the system.

    Multiple melting transitions in fractions of partially isotactic poly(propylene oxide) (1970)

    Notes: Three transitions are detected dilatometrically when partially isotactic poly(propylene oxide) melts. One transition, the temperature of which is independent of the crystallization temperature over a wide range below 60°C, is ascribed to the melting of lamellar crystallites which are limited in thickness by the average isotactic sequence length alone. The other two transitions, the temperatures of which vary with the crystallization temperature, are ascribed to the melting of lamellar crystallites with thickness determined predominantly by three- and two-dimensional primary nucleation acts. The theory of Flory is adapted and applied quantitatively to the melting points of three crystalline fractions of poly(propylene oxide), obtained from a polymer produced via the zinc diethyl and water catalyst system. This method leads to a thermodynamic melting point of isotactic poly(propylene oxide) near 82°C.

    Notes: Characteristic markings of concentric bands are formed on the fracture surface of tensile specimens under certain loading conditions. The marking form in the fast crack growth region of the mirror area of fracture. Optical and electron optical microscope techniques have been used to study the morphology of the markings. It is shown that in this region the crack propagates along the interface between the craze, in which the crack nucleated, and the bulk material. The mackerel pattern is caused by the crack jumping from one craze-matrix interface to the other.

    Tensile properties and equilibrium swelling of plasticized amorphous polyurethane rubbers (1970)

    Notes: Incorporation of plasticizers or other inert, liquid diluents causes a profound weakening of rubbers. The modulus of elasticity and tensile strength decrease approximately with the square of the gel fraction v0 of rubber which was present at the time of formation of the three-dimensional network. Equlibrium swelling of plasticized rubbers is well represented by v2m = kv0, where v2m is the volume fraction of rubber network in the swollen state, at equlibrium, and k a constant equal to v2m for the unplasticized rubber. This swelling law is independent of the way in which v0 is obtained; inert liquid diluents, comprising molecularly dispersed compounds, as well as suspensions of insoluble liquids, gases, and chemically inert, solid fillers yield the same relation. Further, it is independent of the chemical nature of solvent and rubber. It appears that also the mechanical properties of foams, liquid-filled foams, and plasticized elastomers containing the same volume fraction of network rubber are very similar.
