    Notes: The conformational phase diagram of poly(L-lysine) (4.6 × 10-4 M, residue) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (1.6 × 10-2 M) solution was constructed from circular dichroism results at various temperatures and pH's. Poly(L-lysine)-sodium dodecyl sulfate complexes undergo a β-helix transition upon raising the pH of the solution. The transition pH tends to shift downward at elevated temperatures. No helix-β transition can be detected for poly(L-lysine) in sodium dodecyl sulfate solution (pH 〉 11) even after 1-hr heating at 70°C. This is in marked contrast with uncharged poly(L-lysine) solution without sodium dodecyl sulfate, which is converted into the β-form upon mild heating of the solution above 50°C.

    Infrared and Raman spectroscopy of carbohydrates. Part VI: Normal coordinate analysis of V-amylose (1975)

    Notes: A normal coordinate analysis of V-amylose has been performed for an isolated 61 helical chain. Negligible splitting from interactions of vibrations of successive residues is expected between A and E vibrational species due to the large size of the monomer unit. As a result, calculation of only the totally symmetric A modes represents an adequate approximation to the vibrational spectrum of helical polysaccharides. Using this method together with a valence force field we have obtained good agreement between the observed and calculated frequencies. In addition, the computed potential energy distribution and Cartesian displacement coordinates match previous experimental assignments, based on deuterium exchange. The analysis also supports the proposed mechanism for conversion of V-amylose to the more extended B-form. This conversion results in an observed frequency shift for the Raman line at 946 cm-1 which is predicted by the calculations.

    Estimation of the circular dichroism exhibited by statistical coils of poly(L-alanine) and unionized poly(L-lysine) in water (1975)

    Notes: The circular dichroism of Ac-(Ala)x-OMe and H-Lys-(Lys)x-OH with x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 has been measured in aqueous solutions. The oligomers with x = 4 show similar circular dichroism spectra in water when the lysyl amino groups are protonated, and they respond in similar fashion to heating and to sodium perchlorate. Both oligomers at 15°C exhibit a positive circular dichroism band at 217-218 nm, which is eliminated by the isothermal addition of 4 M sodium perchlorate or by heating. The positive circular dichroism of the lysine oligomer is also eliminated when the pH is elevated to deprotonate the amino groups. Positive circular dichroism is still observed for Ac-(Ala)4-OMe at elevated pH. Circular dichroism spectra have been estimated for poly(L-alanine) and poly(L-lysine) as statistical coils under the above conditions, based on the trends established with the oligomers. Poly(L-lysine) and poly(L-alanine) are predicted to exhibit similar circular dichroism behavior in aqueous solution so long as the lysyl amino groups are protonated. The circular dichroism of the statistical coil of poly(L-lysine), but not poly(L-alanine), is predicted to change when the pH is elevated sufficiently to deprotonate the lysyl amino groups. These results suggest that the unionized lysyl side chains participate in interactions that are not available to poly(L-alanine). Hydrophobic interactions may occur between the unionized lysyl side chains. Protonation of the lysyl amino groups is proposed to disrupt these interactions, causing poly(L-alanine) and protonated poly(L-lysine) to have similar circular dichroism properties.

    Raman spectroscopic study of poly (β-benzyl-L-aspartate) and sequential polypeptides (1975)

    Notes: Poly-β-benzyl-L-aspartate (poly[Asp(OBzl)]) forms either a lefthanded α-helix, β-sheet, ω-helix, or random coil under appropriate conditions. In this paper the Raman spectra of the above poly[Asp(OBzl)] conformations are compared. The Raman active amide I line shifts from 1663 cm-1 to 1679 cm-1 upon thermal conversion of poly[Asp(OBzl)] from the α-helical to β-sheet conformation while an intense line appearing at 890 cm-1 in the spectrum of the α-helix decreases in intensity. The 890 cm-1 line also displays weak intensity when the polymer is dissolved in chloroform-dichloroacetic acid solution and therefore is converted to the random coil. This line probably arises from a skeletal vibration and is expected to be conformationally sensitive. Similar behavior in the intensity of skeletal vibrations is discussed for other polypeptides undergoing conformational transitions.The Raman spectra of two cross-β-sheet copolypeptides, poly(Ala-Gly) and poly(Ser-Gly), are examined. These sequential polypeptides are model compounds for the crystalline regions of Bombyx mori silk fibroin which forms an extensive β-sheet structure. The amide I, III, and skeletal vibrations appeared in the Raman spectra of these polypeptides at the frequencies and intensities associated with β-sheet homopolypeptides. Since the sequential copolypeptides are intermediate in complexity between the homopolypeptides and the proteins, these results indicate that Raman structure-frequency correlations obtained from homopolypeptide studies can now be applied to protein spectra with greater confidence.The perturbation scheme developed by Krimm and Abe for explaining the frequency splitting of the amide I vibrations in β-sheet polyglycine is applied to poly(L-valine), poly-(Ala-Gly), poly(Ser-Gly), and poly[Asp(OBzl)]. The value of the “unperturbed” frequency, V0, for poly[Asp(OBzl)] was significantly greater than the corresponding values for the other polypeptides. A structural origin for this difference may be displacement of adjacent hydrogen-bonded chains relative to the standard β-sheet conformation.

    Notes: Circular dichroism studies on synthetic peptides related to the C-terminal region of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c were carried out and compared with conformational studies on horse cytochrome c fragments. Evidence is presented for a weaker predisposition for ordered structure in the former peptides when compared with the corresponding region in horse cytochrome c. These findings agree with theoretical predictions and with observations that yeast and other mammalian type cytochromes c differ in several minor respects.

    Notes: Mixtures of a weak polybase (polyethylenimine) and a weak polyacid acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymer in aqueous solutions at several ionic strengths and polymer concentrations are studied potentiometrically. When the concentrations of the polyethylenimine and acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymer charges are not too different, phase separation into two liquid phases (“complex coacervation”) is observed. In the pH region where no phase separation occurs, potentiometric titrations are performed on mixtures of both polymers. From the titrations of polyethylenimine solutions, acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymer solutions, and the mixtures, the free energy of interaction has been evaluated according to the theory of Litan. The dependence of the free energy of interaction on pH, polymer concentrations, and ionic strength is explained quantitatively with a model of cooperative electrostatic physical association.

    Notes: The problem of deducing the DNA structure with correct base pairing and specific symmetry is formulated in the form of algebraic equations. In this way the number of independent variables determining double-helix conformation can be reduced from six to four. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by the computations for A-DNA and B-DNA. The method allows one to predict all possible conformations of the complementary nucleic acids.

    Notes: The synthesis and characterization of a series of sequential polypeptides with the repeating sequences Aze-Pro-Aze, Pro-Aze-Pro, Pro-Aze-Gly, Aze-Pro-Gly, Ala-Aze-Gly, Aze-Ala-Gly, and Pro-Pro-Gly are reported. The polymers were prepared by the active ester method, using the p-nitrophenyl, pentachlorophenyl, and N-hydroxysuccinimide esters as the polymerizable tripeptide derivatives. Except for poly(Ala-Aze-Gly) obtained via the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, all polymers were isolated in good yields and have weight-average molecular weights in the range 10,000-30,000. The molecular weights have been determined by applying the calibrated gel chromatography system described by Fairweather et al. [J. Chromatogr. (1972) 67, 157] and by viscometry. All di- and tripeptide intermediates were chemically and optically pure.

    Notes: Synthetic regular polytripeptides of the type (Gly-R2-R3) where R2, R3, or both, are imino acids have been widely studied as model compounds for collagen. One such polytripeptide is poly(Gly-Pro-Hyp), since triplets with this sequence constitute about 10% of collagen. Recently, a new model has been proposed for this polytripeptide in which one of the three peptide bonds in the tripeptide unit is in the cis conformation, and the γ-hydroxyl group of hydroxyproline forms a direct interchain hydrogen bond within the triple helix. We have confirmed this structure by model building using computer techniques, and the helical parameters obtained by us are close to the experimentally observed values. The model is also found to be comparable in stability with other models from energy considerations.

    Low Values of the Scheraga-Mandelkern β parameter for proteins. An explanation based on porous sphere hydrodynamics (1975)

    Notes: Several globular proteins have values of the Scheraga-Mandelkern β parameter significantly below the theoretical minimum value, β0 = 2.112 × 106, for an impermeable sphere. Using the Felderhof-Deutch generalization of the Debye-Bueche-Brinkman theory of hydrodynamics of porous spheres, we have shown that values of β slightly below this supposed minimum are theoretically expected. A porous sphere of uniform density has a minimum β of 2.084 × 106 at a Debye shielding ratio of 6.5, corresponding, for example, to a sphere radius of 11 Å and an inverse hydrodynamic shielding length of 0.6 Å-1, values not far from those of small proteins. A two-layer porous sphere model gives similar results. Although this is the first theoretical explanation of values of β below β0, the theory is incomplete since β values as low as 2.03 × 106 are observed.

    Determination of the relaxation time of the helix-coil transition of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) by the nmr technique (1975)

    Notes: NMR measurements of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) are reported in several different strengths of magnetic field to determine the relaxation time of the helix-coil transition. Nmr spectra of various samples had line shapes varying from the double to single, depending on the extent of the polydispersity of the sample. This result indicated that the correct line shape of a polypeptide is obscured in the overlapping of multipeaks, which are due to the heterogeneity of the molecular weight in the sample. Thus, the conventional line-shape analysis could not be applied to the kinetic study of the helix-coil transition of polypeptides without consideration of this polydispersity effect on the line shape.To overcome this difficulty, we measured linewidths of nmr spectra for fairly monodisperse samples, using various nmr spectrometers, having field strengths from 60 to 220 MHz. The results were analyzed by a quadratic equation, which involves an additional term proportional to the frequency difference of two sites. The equation differs from the conventional quadratic equation, usually utilized in the case of the fast-exchange limit, only in this additional term. This modification is required to evaluate correctly the unusual broadening of the linewidth resulting from the polydispersity effect and to determine the relaxation time reflected in nmr.Nmr spectra of three samples (DP-35, 85, and 250) were measured by 220-, 100-, and 60-MHz spectrometers in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform at 28°C and linewidths were analyzed. Relaxation times of the helix-coil transition obtained at the transition midpoint are 2.5 × 10-4, 7 × 10-4, and 1.1 × 10-3 sec, for DP-35, 85, and 250, respectively.

The theory is applied to a sonicated DNA-2-hydroxy-4,4′-diamidinostilbene complex, in the blue and red emission bands of this peculiar dye. Simultaneous measurements of linear dichroism and fluorescence lead to the determination of an angle of 47° between a fluorescent bound dye and the DNA axis, with no difference for the blue- and red-emitting species, but confirm the presence of nonfluorescent bound dye in a more perpendicular arrangement.

    Notes: The translational drag, rotational drag, and intrinsic viscosity of spherical multisubunit structures have been calculated analytically using the Felderhof-Deutch theory of polymer frictional properties. The structures considered were hollow shells, spheres with uniform subunit density, and spheres covered with a subunit layer of different density. Changes in the transport coefficients resulting from the random removal of subunits and from the variation of subunit size are calculated. For the case of the shell, the results agree with the numerical computations of Bloomfield, Dalton, and Van Holde [Biopolymers 5, 135, 149 (1967)].

    Notes: Interactions of glutaraldehyde with either n-butylamine, poly(α,L-lysine), or collagen resulted in a fast release of protons in dilute aqueous solutions at various pH values, followed by much slower changes. The latter reactions, which extended over hours and days, were followed spectrophotometrically and revealed the formation of distinct absorption bands in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions in all the above systems. The visible-range bands disappeared upon treatment with sodium borohydride. A qualitative relationship between oxygen uptake by the system n-butylamine-glutaraldehyde and the slow formation of colored products has been established, while the chemical nature of the reaction products has not been determined.Sedimentation velocity, viscosity, and optical rotation measurements on the products of interaction between poly(L-lysine) and glutaraldehyde in aqueous solution indicated large conformational changes in the polyamino acid present in excess (in residues) over the dialdehyde. In particular, the intrinsic viscosity dropped considerably after interaction, indicating intramolecular crosslinking. At molar ratios of 1:1 between polylsine residues and aldehyde groups, intermolecular crosslinking of polylysine was obtained at pH 8.6.Electron microscopic examinations of collagen samples treated by glutaraldehyde at various pH values indicated changes from unordered to more ordered structures upon treatment with glutaraldehyde, in particular at pH 10.The present structural and optical investigations are considered to be relevant to tanning processes of hides and to fixation procedures.

    Notes: In order to obtain a molecular picture of the A and B forms of a DNA subunit, potential energy calculations have been made for dGpdC with C(3′)-endo and C(2′)-endo [or C(3′)-exo] sugar puckerings. These are compared with results for GpC. The global minima for dGpdC and GpC are almost identical. They are like A-form duplex DNA and RNA, respectively, with bases anti, the ω′, ω angle pair near 300°, 280°, and sugar pucker C(3′)-endo. For dGpdC, a B-form helical conformer, with sugar pucker C(2′)-endo and ω′ = 257°, ω = 298°, is found only 0.4 kcal/mol above the global minimum. A second low-energy conformation (2.3 kcal/mol) has ω′ = 263°, ω = 158° and ψ near 180°. This has dihedral angles like the original Watson-Crick model of the double helix. In contrast, for GpC, the C(2′)-endo B form is 6.9 kcal/mol above the global minimum. These theoretical results are consistent with experimental studies on DNA and RNA fibers. DNA fibers exist in both A and B forms, while RNA fibers generally assume only the A form. A low-energy conformation unlike the A or B forms was found for both dGpdC and GpC when the sugars were C(3′)-endo. This conformation - ω′,ω near 20°,80° - was not observed for C(2′)-endo dGpdC. Energy surface maps in the ω′,ω plane showed that C(2′)-endo dGpdC has one low-energy valley. It is in the B-form helical region (ω′ ∼ 260°, ω ∼ 300). When the sugar pucker is C(3′)-endo, dGpdC has two low-energy regions: the A-form helical region and the region with the minimum at ω′ = 16°, ω = 85°.

    Studies of the conformation of apomyoglobin in aqueous solutions and denaturing organic solvents (1975)

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: The properties of apomyoglobin were examined in aqueous solutions and various helix- and random-coil-forming solvents by solvent perturbation, optical rotation, circular dichroism, and viscosity measurements. The solvent perturbation data obtained in neutral aqueous solutions suggest 25-40% exposure of the two tryptophyl residues and 50-60% exposure of the three tyrosyls. The estimates of burial of these groups are in the ranges expected for myoglobin based on its X-ray structure. In the helicogenic alcohols, methanol, ethanol, 2-chloroethanol, trifluoroethanol, and 1-propyl alcohol, as well as in acidic solutions, 8 M urea and 6M guanidine hydrochloride, essentially all the tryptophyl and tyrosyl residues are found to be exposed to solvent based on this method. Analysis of the ORD and CD data indicates that in the alcohols the α-helix content of apomyoglobin has in most cases changed from 58-59% to about 80-95%. Analysis of the intrinsic viscosity data based on the equations of Simha and Kirkwood and Auer indicates that the polypeptide chain in these solvents has the dimensions of fully extended α-helical rods, with lengths of 221-251 Å and mean diameters of 12.8-13.6 Å. It is concluded that apomyoglobin in the various alcohols must have an extended but somewhat irregular rodlike structure, having a few bend or irregular sequences between the α-helical segments due largely to the presence of the four proline residues, 37, 88, 100, and 120 in the amino acid sequence.

    Static and dynamic quenching of protein fluorescence. I. Bovine serum albumin (1975)

    Notes: The fluorescence parameters, lifetime, relative quantum yield, maximum and mean wavelength, half-width, and polarization, of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were measured at 15°C in aqueous solutions containing varying concentrations of different chemical perturbants, glycerol, Cu2+ ions, guanidine hydrochloride, and urea. By considering a quenching mechanism as being either dynamic or static, depending upon whether the quenching is or is not accompanied by a change in the fluorescence lifetime, we were able to correlate the changes produced in the various fluorescence parameters by the different chemical perturbants with changes in macromolecular structure as the concentration of perturbant was gradually increased. The addition of glycerol and of Cu2+ ions indicated that in aqueous BSA both tryptophan residues are below the surface of the macromolecule, out of contact with solvent water, and, as a consequence, they are statically quenched. “Ultra-Pure” guanidine hydrochloride at 2.4 M or more caused a drastic conformation change, which resulted in the emergence of a visible tyrosine peak at 304 nm in the BSA fluorescence spectrum when either 260- or 270-nm excitation was employed. With the same excitation, the enhancement of BSA tyrosine fluorescence by 6-8 M ultra-pure urea produced only a shoulder near 304 nm in the BSA fluorescence spectrum. We have introduced the use of a new relative quantum yield for protein fluorescence, q′, referenced to the quantum yield of unquenched free tryptophan, which eliminates the quenching action of water from the reference.

    Notes: The storage and loss shear moduli, G′ and G″, have been measured for dilute solutions of unaggregated and aggregated tobacco mosaic virus samples in glycerol-water mixtures, by the Birnboim-Schrag multiple-lumped resonator modified for use with aqueous solvents. The frequency range was 100-5800 Hz, the concentration range 0.6-2.1 × 10-3 g/ml, and the temperatures 25.0° and 37.8°C. The number-average and weight-average molecular weights of the aggregated sample were estimated as 1.4 and 2.0 × 108, respectively, from electron microscopy. The extrapolated intrinsic moduli [G′] and [G″] were compared with the predictions of the Kirkwood-Auer theory for rigid rodlike molecules. For the unaggregated sample, the frequency dependence of [G′] and [G″] agreed well with the theory assuming the intrinsic viscosity to be 27 ml/g, though the asymptotic limit of [G′]M/RT at higher frequencies was slightly larger than the theoretical value of 3/5. For the aggregated sample, the data agreed with theory for rigid rods as modified to account for molecular-weight distribution.

    Notes: Manning's and Scatchard's models for the description of ion-polyelectrolyte interactions are compared in the case of linear polyelectrolytes and bivalent counterions, where “condensation” of the counterions is known to occur for certain concentration ratios of the two species in solution. This comparison leads to the definition of certain conditions on Scatchard's parameters for a precise structural interpretation of Scatchard's plots to be valid. Experimental data obtained with both models are compared and found in good agreement under such conditions.

    Notes: Semi-empirical energy calculations for an internal Pro-Pro dimer are presented that take into account the nature of the flexibility of the proline ring due to its puckering. Calculations show that three stable conformations are available for the dimer: the cis (ω = 0°, ψ = 160°); the trans (ω = 180°, ψ = 160°, also referred to as trans′); and the cis′ (ω = 180°, ψ = -40°) conformations. The best conformational pathways between these stable conformations are determined. Calculations also show that the barrier for cis′-trans′ conversion is of the same order of magnitude as that for cis-trans conversion.

    On the application of polyelectrolyte limiting laws to the helix-coil transition of DNA. III. Dependence of helix stability on excess univalent salt and on polynucleotide phosphate concentration for variable equivalent ratios of divalent metal ion to phosphate (1975)

    Notes: Using the free energy difference between double-helix and random-coil forms of DNA as a measure of the stability of the double helix, we calculate the dependence of the stability on excess univalent cation concentration and on polynucleotide phosphate concentration, both as functions of the equivalent ratio r of divalent cation-to-phosphate concentrations. The theoretical tool is merely to compare the free energy of one polyelectrolyte solution, characterized by the polyelectrolyte linear charge density, with the free energy of another, characterized by a different value of the charge density. It is assumed only that the charge density of the double helix is greater than that of the coil form. The calculation represents the only molecular theory given to date (for r ≠ O) for these aspects of helix stability.We find that, as excess univalent cation concentration increases, the helix stability increases if r is small but decreases if r is large (i.e., of the order of unity). Moreover, as the concentration of nucleotide phosphate increases, the helix stability does not change for small values of r but increases for large values. For both effects, a continuous transition as a function of r bridges the low-r and high-r behaviour.

    Notes: The association of chloroform-soluble derivatives of uracil and adenine has been examined in chloroform solution in the presence of dissolved water. Analysis by infrared spectroscopy shows that complex formation still occurs in these conditions, and that the extent of association is substantially unchanged by the presence of water. Evidence is presented for the coexistence of two kinds of base pair (involving, respectively, the C2 and C4 carbonyl groups of the pyrimidine) in the solutions, and for some displacement in their relative balance by the added water. The binding of water to the C2 and C4 carbonyl groups can be separately observed in both the free uracil derivative and its 1:1 complex with 9-ethyladenine. Little or no competition has been found to occur between the formation of base pairs and binding of water to the bases, as judged by measurements of water solubility in chloroform solutions of the bases individually and in 1:1 mixtures. The evidence suggests that this phenomenon can be largely explained by the formation of double hydrogen bonds by the uracil carbonyl groups. Taken together with recent published observations, the results indicate that hydrogen bonding may make a much greater energetic contribution to conformational stability of biopolymers in aqueous solution that has been supposed.

    Notes: We have tested 21 different basis sets of synthetic DNA circular dichroism spectra and have slected one for use in spectral analyses of natural DNAs. This “standard” set consists of spectra of eight polymers: poly[d(A-A-T)·d(A-T-T)], poly[d(A-G-G)·d(C-C-T)], poly[d(A-T)·d(A-T)], poly[d(G-C)·d(G-C)], poly[d(A-G)·d(C-T)], poly[d(A-C)·d(G-T)], poly[d(A-T-C)·d(G-A-T)], and poly[d(A-G-C)·d(G-C-T)]. This basis set, applied according to the first-neighbor polymer procedure of Gray and Tinoco, allows a more uniformly accurate spectral analysis of six natural complex DNAs and eight (A+T)-rich satellite DNAs for base composition and first-neighbor frequencies than was previously possible. We find that spectra of poly[d(A)·d(T)] and/or poly[d(A-C-T-)·d(A-G-T)] are not generally required for good analysis results but we show in this and the following paper that these spectra are needed for the most accurate analyses of some satellite DNAs.

    Notes: The structure of β-chitin has been refined by rigid-body least-squares methods, based on the intensity data for highly crystalline specimens from the pogonophore Oligobrachia ivanovi. The structure consists of an array of poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine chains all having the same sense, which are linked together in sheets by N—H … O=C hydrogen bonding of the amide groups. In addition to the O-3′—H … O-5 intramolecular hydrogen bond, analogous to that in cellulose, the CH2OH side chain forms an intrasheet hydrogen bond to the carbonyl oxygen on the next chain. This structure shows considerably better agreement between observed and calculated intensities than that possessing an intersheet hydrogen bond, as had been proposed previously. The structure is consistent with the swelling properties of β-chitin and can also be seen to be analogous to that of native cellulose.

The two theoretically predicted conformations are evidenced in crystalline state (ψ1 = +169°) and in aqueous solution (ψ1 ≃ -20°). This study confirms the interest of a careful vibrational analysis of peptides and N-deuterated derivatives for providing an estimate of the dihedral angle ψ. The relationship between amide III frequency and ψ values is emphasized.

    Notes: The adsorption of globular proteins at solid/liquid or liquid/liquid interfaces provides evidence of unfolded molecular conformation. Proteins with high apolar character are strongly unfolded, while those with high polar character are generally incompletely unfolded. Structural changes of globular proteins at adsorption on mercury electrodes were studied by ac polarography and capacity-time curves. The surface area per molecule of nine globular proteins was determined from the adsorption kinetics at the dropping mercury electrode. For all the proteins investigated, this value was greater than the maximal molecular cross section of the native proteins. The surface area was about 19 Å2 per amino acid residue, which coincides with the value for unfolded proteins at the water/air interface. Differences between dropping mercury electrode and hanging drop mercury electrode occurred only with lysozyme and phosphorylase; for the other proteins, the structure of the adsorption layer was independent of the time of interaction at the electrode. Since not all of the reducible groups of the adsorbed proteins come into contact with the electrode, the flattening should be incomplete.

    Notes: Classical potential energy calculations have been made for the ribodinucleoside monophosphates ApA, CpC, GpG, and UpU. Van der Waal's, electrostatic, and torsional contributions to the energy were calculated, and the energy was minimized with the seven backbone conformational angles as simultaneously variable parameters. At the global minimum, ApA and CpC have conformations like double helical RNA: the angles ω′ and ω are g-g-, the sugar pucker is C3′-endo, and the bases are anti. GpG and UpU, on the other hand, have the ω′,ω angle pair g-t at the global minimum, and for GpG the bases are syn. Energy contour maps for ω′ and ω show two broad, low energy regions for ApA, CpC, and UpU: one is g-g-, and the second encompasses g-t and g+g+ within a single lowenergy contour. The two regions are connected by a path at 10-13 kcal./mole. For GpG, with bases syn, however, only a small low-energy region at g-t is found. The helical ‘A’ RNA conformation is 8.5 kcal/mole higher for this molecule. Thus, the base composition is shown to influence the conformations adopted by dinucleoside phosphates. Comparison of calculations with experimetal data, where available, show good agreement.

    Notes: The far infrared spectra of poly(L-proline) I (190-35 cm-1) and II (400-35 cm-1) were obtained in the solid state at both 300° and 110°K. A significant difference in the region below 100 cm-1 was observed. A very intense band located at 60 cm-1 in the infrared spectrum of form II has no counterpart in form I. This indicates the sensitivity of low-frequency vibrations to the difference in conformation assumed by both forms in the solid state.Additional bands observed in this study are correlated with ir and Raman data previously reported and tentative assignments are made using the results of normal mode calculations (in the single-chain approximation) which have been reported.

    Notes: Potentiometric titrations of poly(S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine) and poly(S-carboxy-ethyl-L-cysteine) were carried out in aqueous sodium chloride solutions and in water. For samples of both polymers of high molecular weight, a new pattern was observed concerning the change of titration curve with time; the β-coil transition became sharper and the transition free energy increased by about 100 cal mole-1 as the equilibrium was approached. This suggests that equilibrium data were not obtained in most previous studies on the titration involving the β-coil transition. It also shows that the reversbility is not necessarily sufficient to confirm the equilibrium. Another pattern, which was previously observed, was also confirmed with a low molecular weight sample of poly(S-carboxymethytl-L-cysteine). The titration curves were shown to be insensitive to polymer concentration, even when aggregation or phase separation was present. The validity of the Gouy model to describe the titration curve of the β-structure was found to depend on molecular weight as well as on the nature of the side chain.

    The interaction of collagen with the hydrophobic fluorescent probe 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate (1975)

    Notes: Three kinds of fluorescence enhancement result from the interaction of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate and calf-skin collagen. They are negatively cooperative, independent, and highly cooperative fluorescence enhancement. In the independent region at pH 3.7, the binding number is about 36 moles of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate per mole of tropocollagen with a binding constant of 2.0 × 104 M-1; with ΔG = -5.7 kcal/mole, ΔH = -4.0 kcal/mole, and ΔS = 6 e.u. The pH dependence of fluorescence of native collagen shows that the deprotonated forms of the β and γ carboxyl groups of aspartic and glutamic acid decrease the intensity, possibly by charge repulsion of the negatively charged sulfonate group of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate. The positive charge of lysine is found to be unimportant in the interaction of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate with collagen. Fluorescence enhancement is caused mainly by the hydrophobic interactions of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate and collagen. Salt bridge formation between basic and acidic side chains in very low salt concentration may be detectable by 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate fluorescence.

    Notes: A series of copolymers of L-lysine and L-valine [poly(L-lysinef L-valine100-f)] containing 0-13% L-valine have been studied, in 0.10M KF solution, using potentiometric titration and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Incorporation of increasing amounts of valine into the copolymers favors β-sheet formation over α-helix formation at high pH and room temperature. The titrations were analyzed using the method of Zimm and Rice and the partial free energy (ΔG0cβ) for the coil-to-β-sheet transition for valine is estimated at 900 cal/mole at 25°C. From the temperature dependence of the free energy, the partial enthalpy, ΔH0cβ, and entropy, ΔS0cβ, of the transition for valine is estimated to be 854 cal/mole and 6.0 e.u., respectively. The corresponding partial thermodynamic parameters for L-lysine are in agreement with published results. The fraction of β-sheet versus pH has been calculated for poly(L-lysine86.8 L-valine13.2) at 25.0°C using the titration data; data obtained from circular dichroism spectroscopy for the same copolymer are in good accord. It is concluded from these results that L-valine is a very strong β-sheet forming amino acid. Furthermore, these results indicate that the Zimm-Rice method is applicable to transitions between the coil and β-sheet states for a polypeptide containing two different residues.

    Notes: Conformational analysis of double-stranded helical polynucleotides was carried out in terms of internal and external parameters, using semiempirical energy potential functions. The results obtained show that the structures proposed on the basis of the X-ray analysis for A-DNA and RNA's are almost identical to those corresponding to the conformational energy minima, whereas that proposed for B-DNA still appears to suffer from conformational strains. On the other hand, the B-DNA structure theoretically predicted is stabilized by both van der Waals energy and possible specific interactions with water molecules and counterions. This may explain the stability of the B form with respect to the A form at high relative humidity and ion strength. A possible role of the A + T fraction in stabilizing the B-type DNA emerges in connection with its preferential ability to bind ions. This agrees with the results on the crystalline structures of GpC and ApU. For RNA's, the occurrence of only A-type structures is explained as being due to the C(3′)-endo puckering of ribose in a double helix.

Through a Fortran program, the method has been applied to two very simple but typical cases. With only minor adjustments, the method presented here for sedimentation studies can be extended to all sorts of problems in which “pools” of various species are interacting with each other.

    Notes: The theoretical study of the cooperative binding of a small ligand to a linear homopolymer is extended to systems in which two different complexes can form. The binding isotherms are derived under the assumption that the cooperative interactions exist only between molecules belonging to the same type of binding mode and are limited to nearest neighbors (Ising model). The binding to a single-stranded chain is first considered and two extreme cases are studied: (1) the two complexes can form independently from each other (model of independent classes of binding sites); (2) only one class of binding site exists, each possessing two different states of complexation (three-state model).Binding to a double-helical chain is also considered. Three simple types of competition between the different modes of binding are distinguished. The corresponding models are defined as: (1) the model of independent classes of binding sites; (2) the model of monoexclusive interactions between the different kinds of complexes (the symmetric and asymmetric cases are both considered); (3) the model of biexclusive interactions. The comparative study of the different cases shows that the binding isotherms are very similar at large polymer-to-ligand concentration ratios, while they can be very different at low polymer-to-ligand ratios. This can be used to obtain information on the mechanism of dye binding to nucleic acids by equilibrium studies as shown in a subsequent paper.

    Notes: The infrared spectra of poly(L-valine)'s with varying degrees of polymerization have been investigated, as well as copolymers of L-alanine and L-valine. The spectra of nujol mulls of various molecular-weight poly(L-valine)'s, isolated directly from the polymerization media, as well as spectra of these same samples after treatment with strong acid, are recorded. In the 700-250-cm-1 region, bands at 543 and 414 cm-1 are found to increase with increasing degree of polymerization in the nujol mulls, but are missing in the acid-treated samples. These bands are assigned to the L-valine residues with an β-helixlike local conformation. It is inferred that the polymerization proceeds initially in the β form, and after a critical degree of polymerization the chains adopt an appreciable amount of an α-helixlike local conformation.

    Notes: The interaction of counterions with a suitably long, charged oligomer appears susceptible to treatment in the context of polyelectrolyte theory by the introduction of an end-effect parameter that reflects the reduced association of counterions with the terminal regions of the oligo-ion. Use of a physically reasonable value for the end-effect parameter provides excellent agreement between theory and the experimental data of Elson, Scheffler, and Baldwin [J. Mol. Biol. 54, 401-415 (1970)] on the dependences of melting temperature on salt concentration and chain length for a series of hairpin helices formed by d(TA) oligomers. The differences in behavior expected for hairpin, dimer, and oligomer-polymer helices are discussed. The salt dependence of the end-joining equilibrium investigated for λ DNA by Wang and Davidson [Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 33, 409-415 (1968)] is treated as an oligomer-polymer interconversion. The dependence of equilibrium constant for this reaction on counterion concentration is in good agreement with that predicted by theory for an end-region totalling 24 nucleotides, the known length of the λ ends.

    Notes: Solvent denaturation is developed along thermodynamic lines rather than from multiple-binding theory. Almost all the relations derivable from site-binding theory have their counterparts in the thermodynamic formulation showing that the details of binding models may be sufficient but are not necessary for the general description of solvent denaturation. Equations are derived for the effect of denaturant concentration on stability at constant temperature and on tm. It is recommended that the thermodynamic treatment be used instead of binding models unless stoichiometric interactions are demonstrable experimentally.

    Notes: The optical properties of the 1,N6 - etheno derivative of ApA (εApεA) have been studied. Absorbance and CD measurements suggest that (1) neutral salts tend to unstack this molecule and (2) the stacking interaction is weaker than in ApA. εApεA is found to be quenched strongly with respect to the monomer. (εAMP); this quenching is solvent dependent (1M NaCl 〉 5M NaClo4〉40%glycerol) and increases with the ratio of temperature to viscosity (T/η) in each case. Fluorescence lifetime measurements also reveal a temperature- and solvent-dependent decay which is nonlinear on a semilog plot. In the presence of 95% glycerol, this decay return to linearity. These data have been considered from two points of view: (1) two-state pictures which are based on thermodynamic least-squares fit to quatum yield and CD curves, together with two exponential fits to the decay curves and (2) a dynamical model in which relatives fluorophore motion leads to deexcitation via intramolecular collision. A simple model of type (2) gives qualitative agreement with the observed behavior.

    Notes: Fluorescent probe analysis of purified elastin using 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate has been used to investigate reversible structural changes that accompany stretching of this rubberlike protein. There is a specific binding of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate to elastin with a single dye molecule attached per 74,000 molecular-weight protein subunit. When labeled elastin is stretched, the intensity of the 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate fluorescence decreases reversibly, and this decrease appears to be linked to an increase in the environmental polarity in the immediate vicinity of the bound dye molecule. The results of experiments carried out in H2O and D2O indicate that this polarity change is due to an increase in the exposure of the 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate to water as the hydrophobic interior of the protein subunit is unfolded during stretching. The data are consistent with the proposal that the elastin network is a two-phase system of hydrophobic protein globules surrounded by free solvent spaces.

    Notes: In order to study the role of D-amino acid residues in keeping the stable β-sheet conformation and in the antimicrobial activity of gramicidin S (GS), the four analogs of GS containing D-Ala, L-Ala, Gly, and Aib (α-aminoisobutyric acid) in place of D-Phe were synthesized. D-Ala-and Gly-containing analogs showed antimicrobial activity, while those containing L-Ala and Aib showed no activity. Conformation of these analogs and their derivatives were studied by comparison of ORD and CD spectra and by slective methylation method. It is concluded that the biologically active analogs have β-sheet conformation while inactive analogs have a much different conformation from that of GS. This indicates that D-Ala-Pro and Gly-Pro sequences favor taking a β-bend form but L-Ala-Pro and Aib-Pro sequences do not because the presence of L-side methyl group on the α-carbon atom of LAla and Aib residues destabilizes the β-bend form. This would explain why the inactive analogs which take a different conformation from that of the active ones result in the loss of activity.

    Collagen fibrils and elastic fibers in rat-tail tendon: An electron microscopic investigation (1978)

    Notes: Earlier studies by the authors showed that the collagen fibrils in rat-tail tendon have a bi-modal distribution of fibril diameters from a time shortly after birth through to the onset of maturity at about 3-4 months. Present work has extended those observations for rats up to the age of 2 years. Histograms of the fibril diameter distributions for mature tail tendon and direct electron microscope observations show that the fibrils break down as the tendon ages. Further work on the constant diameter subfibrils of diameter 140 Å described previously, has confirmed that these are part of the elastic fibers present in tendon at all ages. It has been shown that there is relatively little variation in the collagen fibril diameter distribution as a function of the position of the specimen in the tail, and as the measured percentage of the area taken by the collagen fibrils present at any particular point. Estimation of the fibrillar collagen content of rat-tail tendon as a function of age indicates that it increases steadily from birth and reaches a maximum at the onset of maturity, beyond which the fibrillar collagen content appears to remain constant.

    Packaging of DNA in bacteriophage Heads: Some considerations on energetics (1978)

    Notes: We have made quantitative estimates of some of the energetic factors to be considered in packaging of double-stranded DNA in virus particles. Numerical calculations were made using parameters appropriate for T4 bacteriophage. The unfavorable factors, and the Gibbs free energies per mole virus at 20°C associated with them, are bending, 1.5 × 103 kcal/mol; conformational restriction upon condensation, 5.1 × 102 kcal/mol; polyelectrolyte repulsion, 2.1 × 105kcal/mol; and melting or kinking, 6.9 × 103 kcal/mol. These must be counterbalanced in the assembled phage by noncovalent bonding interactions between protein subunits in the phage-head shell; by interactions between the DNA and polyvalent cations, especially putrescine and spermidine; nad perhaps by repulsive excluded volume and electrostatic interaction between the DNA and acidic polypeptides. Indeed, a rough estimate of the standard free energey of interaction between T4 DNA and the putrescine and spermidine contained in the head is --2.1 × 105 kcal/mol. In the absence of the other two sources of stabilization, each head protein subunit must contribute about 210 kcal/mol of binding energy.

    Notes: A theoretical basis for thin-film dialysis involving binding between a ligand and nondialyzing species is presented. A general differential equation that applies to the case of equivalent, noninteracting sites is derived relating [A]F, [A]T, [P]T, and K. Numerical solutions to this equation are used to develop a series of escape curves corresponding to specific values of the parameters [P]T, [A]i, K, and k0. A general method for determining an equilibrium binding constant from thin-film dialysis data is given. A comparison of thin-film dialysis results predicted by this theory with literature data shows essential agreement.

    Solvent accessibilities in the dimeric subunits of RNA and DNA (1978)

    Notes: To obtain information on the solvent-solute interactions in the dinucleoside monophosphates pertaining to the dimeric subunits of RNA and DNA, we have computed the accessibility of a water molecule to the oxygen atoms of the subunits following the method of Lee and Richards [J. Mol. Biol. 55, 379-400 (1971)]. The solute molecules (dimeric unit) is represented by a set of interlocking spheres of appropriate van der Waals radii assigned to each atom, a solvent (water) molecule is rolled along the envelope of the van der Waals surface, and the total surface accessible to the solvent molecule - and hence the solvent accessibility of various atoms of the solute molecule for different conformations - are computed. From the calculated atomic accessibilities, solvation maps in the (ω′,ω) space have been constructed, keeping ψ at 60°, 180°, and -60°. The C(3′)-endo sugar system in the case of DNA subunit have been considered. The solvation maps describing the solvatability of single and groups of atoms give significant information on the backbone conformational domains that are preferred for solvent interaction, thus adding knowledge to the relative stability of the various possible conformations. The B-DNA-type conformer exposes three polar atoms - namely, PO1, O(3′), and O(1′) - to external solvent, whereas the A-DNA- and C-DNA-type conformers expose only one polar atom - O(3′) and O(1′), respectively - to the solvent. The O(2′) atom of the furanose ring system in the RNA subunit could give added stability via solvent association or interunit hydrogen bonding with or without a bridging water. The superposition solvation maps describing the accessibility of a group of polar atoms help to interpret a good number of phosphodiester conformations observed in a energetically less favored conformational domains in the tRNAPhe crystal. Another intresting fact that results from this study is the prediction that the trans oriented of ω is the most favorable conformations of random-coil polynucleotides in solution.

    Notes: The Conformational properties of synthetic S-peptide analogs, in which the residues in the N-terminal sequence 1-6 were progressively deleted or replaced with amino acids of lower helical propensity, were studied by CD. Increasing the concentration of guanidine hydrochloride and decreasing the temperature were found to produce progressive destruction of ordered conformations, in the parallel with the increasing solubility of the peptide unit, while increasing the concentration of trifluoroethanol and decreasing the temperature produced the opposite effect. The maximum helicity determined in the these sets of experiments is found equal to or greater than that determined in the formation of the ribonuclease S′ complexes. With some peptides the maximum value of predicted helical conformation is reached, and the tendency of tertiary structure to reduce the maximum possible helicity is evident. We discuss the validity of the procedure by which conformational information, drawn from measurements in helicogenic solvents, is related to the state in native protein.

    Notes: A thermal perturbation curve (TPC) is defined to be the derivative of the fractional degree of saturation, f, with respect to temperature, considered as a function of the natural logarithm of free ligand concentration, y. The theoretical framework for the use of such curves in the thermodynamic analysis of ligand binding to macromolecules is presented. The thermal perturbation curve either provides or complements the information obtained from the derivative binding isotherm ∂f/∂y. For a single set of identical and independent sites the TPC is identical to the derivative binding isotherm. Analysis of such a curve directly yield ΔH0 and ΔG0 for the binding reaction. In actual experimental work, however, the TPC can only be approximated because of “self-buffering” effects relations between the parameter of the approximate curve and the thermodynamic quantities have been developed. This technique is applied to the proflavin-α-chymotryspin system to demonstrate its usefulness. The general features of thermal perturbation curves for cases of multiple sets of independent sites and cooperatively interacting sites have also been developed. The analysis of thermal perturbation curves in combination with other methods should provide a more powerful approach to the characterization of ligand-macromolecule interactions.

    Notes: Molecular motion in solid poly(L-alanine), Poly(L-leucine), poly(L-valine), and polyglycine has been investigated through measurement of the portion spin-lattice relaxation time at 30 and 60 MHz between 110 and 350°K. Rapid random reoriention of sied-chain methyl groups provides the dominent source of relaxation in the first three; activation energies are 10.5 ± 1 1, 8.5 ± 1 kJ/mol, respectively, significantly lower than in the monomeric crystals. Relaxation times in poyglycine are two orders of magnitude longer than in the monomeric crystals. Relaxation times in polyglycine, significantly lower than in the monomeric crystals. Relaxation times in polyglycine are two orders of magnitude longer and are attributed mainly to segmental motions of the polymer chains. Evidence of nonexponential recovery of nuclear magnetization was encountered in the first three homopolyamino acids but not in polylycine, and was attributed to the correlated time to characterize these motions gave quite good agreement with the data; some improvement was obtained for two polymers using a Cole-Davidson distribution of correlation times. For biopolymers using a Cole-Davidson distribution of correlation times. For biopolymers generally it is concluded that rapid methyl group reorientation is a common dynamical feature and an important source of nuclear magnetic relaxation.

    Notes: The karl Fischer reagent method has been used to study the drying of whale skeletal muscle myoglobin. Drying curves for metmyglobin were obtained by mechanical pumping (moderate vacuum) and diffusion pumping (high vacum) at 20, 10, 0, -10, and -20°C. Strongly held water is present in about the same amounts as were previously observed with lysozyme. Nearly all of this strongly held water is still present during the drying of acid denatured metmyoglobin. This suggest that a core structure containing strongly held water is still present at pH 4.0. Comparison of the drying of metmyoglobin, deoxymyoglobin, and oxymyoglobin indicates that the iron-coordinated water of methyoglobin is the second most strongly held water of the molocule.

    Notes: Mixtures of bacteriophage T4D particles with up to six tail fibres attached were seprated and analyzed in a quasielastic light scattering-band electrophoresis apparatus. The electrophoretic mobilities and diffusion coefficients of the seprated bands were determined during the same experiment. Species differing in mobility by 0.05 × 10-4 cm2/V sec were resolved. Henry's electropheresis theory for spheres indicates that each tail fiber contributes about 140 effective positive charges to the phage structure. Estimate of the charge using the permanent dipole moment and the electrophorectic mobility (Bontje et. al. (1977) Biopolymers 16, 551-572) gives an effective charge of + 230 to -250 per tail fiber. The charge distribution on the fiberless particles was estimated to be -3380 on the head and -290 on the tail if the dipole moment was assumed positive and -1400 on the head and -1000 on the tail for a negative dipole. Tail-fiber attachement does not proceed to completion in our invitro system, as substantial distributions as a function of tail-fiber input indicates the reaction is a random, noncooperative process.

    Notes: The contribution of the 1-6 N-terminal sequence to the conformational properties of the S-peptide (the 1-20 sequence of ribonuclease A) was assessed by determining in the ribonuclease S′ system the helical content and the binding capability of synthetic [Orn10]-S-peptide analogs, in which lysine1, glutamic2 and threonine3 were progressively deleted, alanine4 and alanine5were alternatively replaced by serine, and alanine6 was substituted by serine or proline. Both the deletion of the three N-terminal residues and the alanine6/proline replacement produces the loss of the helical structure up to lysine7. No or minor effects are found in all other cases. From the comparison of the binding data, the energy for the conformational stabilization of the N-terminal region was calculated to amount to 1.4 kcal/mol. The results are discussed in comparison with the known x-ray data of the enzyme, with some predictive rules of secondary structure which were applied to this region and with the known phylogenetic variance of the residues in this region.

    Notes: In the Polymerization of phenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) in No2Oh initiated by MeNHBzl, L-,D-, and DL-NCA As were polymerized at the same rate, and no stereoselectivity was observed. When the same experiment was carried out in HCONEt2, however, L- and D-NCA were both polymerized at a rate which was about twice as large as that of DL-NCA. In this case, the polymerization is stereoselective, ascribable to a preferable reaction between the optical enantiomorphs of the terminal residue of the growing chain and the NCA of the same chirality. On the other hand, the polymerization initiated by SarNMe2 and MeNH(CH2)2CONMe2 were stereoselective in NO2Ph and HCONEt2, but they were not stereoselective in m-(MeO)2Ph. These findings indicate that the polymerizations initiated by a strong base in highly dipolar solvents are stereoselective. Apparently, the reaction between a chiral, cyclic terminal of growing chain and a chiral, cyclic activated NCA in the activated-NCA mechanism is highly stereoselective. In addition, from a kinetic investigation on on the copolymerization between L- and D-NCAs, the penultimate chiral centers were also suggested to contribute to the stereoselection. Stereoselection by the α-helical conformation of the growing chain and by a chiral, linear terminal amine have been considered so far, and the contribution from the present type of stereoselection must have been overlooked.

    Notes: Transient electric birefringence measurements of the bacteriophages T2L0 and T6 were performed under such conditions that the tail fibers are extended. The data obtained are compared to previously reported data for T4B. For all T-even phages the degree of extension of the tail fibers is a function of pH, ionic strength, and temperature. For T4B, much higher ionic strengths are needed than for T2L0 and T6 to accomplish complete tail-fiber extension. The rotational diffusion coefficients of the phages with fully extended fibers are equal to 120 ± 3 sec-1, 132 ± 5 sec-1, 157 ± 4 sec-1 for T2L0, T4B, and T6, respectively. The respective optical anistropies are - (2.66 ± 0.05) × 10-4, and - (3.07 ± 0.15) × 10-4. The differences in the rotational diffusion coefficient and optical anisotropy arise because the conformation of the fully extended tail fibers is different for the three phages. The tail fibers of T2L0 project further into the solution (away from the head) than do those of T4B and T6. The apparent permanent dipole moments of T2L0 and T6 decrease with increasing ionic strength. This decrease is caused by the screening of the surface charges on the phage body by the counter-ions in the solution. The biological relevance of this decrease is illustrated by the fact that the adsorption rate of T6 phages to E. coli B bacteria shows a similar dependence of ionic strength. Evidence is pressented that the tail fibers may move more or less independently of the phage body when an electric field is applied to the suspension.

    Notes: Computer simulation shows that the time required to attain near sedimentation equilbrium is dramatically reduced by a two-step initial loading in which a macromolecular solution at low or zero concentration is layered above one at a higher concentration. To achieve the minimum time requires a good estimate of the molecular weight, but at least a 50% reduction in time can be achieved if the molecular weight of the macromolecule is known only within a factor of 2. Numerical solutions to the differential equation of the ultracentrifuge are calculated using the finite element method. An efficient Gaussian elimination algorithm can be used to minimize calculation time and computer storage requirements.

    Notes: The aldehydes present in acid-soluble type I collagen react with pyrenebutyrylhydrazine to form various types of complexes under different reaction conditions. These complexes exhibit one or more of three different pyrene fluorescence bands: monomer, excimer, and aggregate fluorescence. Collagen, whose aldehydes have been reduced with NaBH4, does not react with this fluorescent hydrazine, confirming that the hydrazine reacts specifically with aldehyde groups to form hydrazones. The absence of a reaction with pepsin-treated collagen also shows that the fluorescent labels are primarily in the nonhelical terminal telopeptides. Upon dialysis, the pyrene label bound to a saturated aldehyde in an α-chain is lost; whereas that bound to an unsaturated aldehyde remains on the protein. The pyrene monomer fluorescence in the β-chain of old collagen is stronger than that of young collagen. The formation of the pyrene excimer fluorescence implies the proximity of two pyrene molecules, probably attached to two adjacent aldehydes. Upon changing from acidic to neutral pH, both excimer and aggregate fluorescence bands disappear within a few seconds, revealing a very rapid alteration at the telopeptides.

    Notes: We describe conditions which lead to complete helix formation of poly(I) in the presence of NH4+. Binding of NH4+ is shown to be specific in the presence of Li+, which does not by itself support helix formation under these conditions. The NH4+-poly(I) complex is characterized by uv, CD, and ir spectroscopy. The CD spectrum is strikingly different from those of the Na+ or K+ complexes, the first extremum being changed from negative for the metal ions to positive for NH4+. A stereospecific model is proposed for the NH4+-poly(I) helix in which the N of NH4+ is located on the axis of the four-stranded helix, midway between planar tetramers formed by the bases. The model is consistent with the tetrahedral symmetry of NH4+, the requirement for four acceptable hydrogen bonds, the observed stability of the helix, and the accepted geometry of the backbone.

    Notes: It has recently been proven that the counterion condensate around an isolated line charge in an electrolyte, as characterized by nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, is an encapsulating δ-function. Here the identical result is shown to hold in the framework of the polyelectrolyte theory of Fuoss, Katchalsky, and Lifson. The proof fully exploits analytic solutions to the differential equation which are not available for the nonlinear, cylindrical Poisson-Boltzmann equation.

    Notes: The extent and modes of binding of the divalent metal ions Mn2+ and Co2+ to DNA and the effects of salt on the binding have been studied by measurements of the effects of these paramagnetic metal ions on the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates of the protons of the solvent water molecules, a technique that is sensitive to overall binding. The number of water molecules coordinated to the DNA-bound Mn2+ and Co2+ is found to be between five and six, and the electron spin relaxation times and the electron-nuclear hyperfine constants associated with Mn2+ and Co2+ are little or not affected by the binding. These observations indicate little disturbance of the hydration sphere of Mn2+ and Co2+ upon binding to DNA. An average 2-3-fold reduction in the exchange rate of the water of hydration of the bound metal ions and an order-of-magnitude increase in their rotational correlation time are attributed to hydrogen-bond formation with the DNA. The binding constants of Mn2+ to DNA, at metal concentrations approaching zero, are found to be inversely proportional to the second power of the salt concentration, in agreement with the predictions of Manning's polyelectrolyte theory. A remarkable quantitative agreement with the polyelectrolyte theory is also obtained for the anticooperativity in the binding of Mn2+ to DNA, although the experimental results can be well accounted for by another simple electrostatic model. The various modes of binding of divalent metal ions to DNA are discussed.

    Notes: The dc electrical conductivity of films of the polyelectrolyte complexes of glycol chitosan (GlChi) with the sodium salts of dextran sulfate (DS), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polygalacturonic acid (GalUA)n, and alginic acid (AlgA) was measured at temperatures above and below room temperature. The maximum field strength in the thinnest film used amounted to 3 × 104 V/cm. A plot of normalized current against the reciprocal of the absolute temperature revealed two regions with different slopes, and activation energies in these two regions have been obtained for all the complexes. The activation energies in the high-temperature region vary from 0.85 to 1.18 eV and in the low-temperature region from 0 to 0.22 eV. Reasons are given to show that the conductivity is probably ionic. Near room temperature, the current-voltage relation is almost linear in the GlChi-DS complex, while in the other three complexes the current varies as a power n of the voltage with the value of n ranging from 1.7 to 2.5. A rise in temperatures causes an increase in the slope of the log I vs log V plot in GlChi-DS and GlChi-CMC complexes. The nonlinear current-voltage relation is ascribed to a space-charge-limited conductivity.

    Notes: Five different glucomannan samples were recrystallized from dilute solution. Depending on the experimental conditions, the crystals obtained could be identified as corresponding to the mannan I (anhydrous precipitate of more or less regular lozenge-shaped crystals) or mannan II (hydrated gel-forming pseudo-fibrillar precipitate). High-molecular-weight material, low temperature of crystallization, or a polar crystallization medium favored the mannan II polymorph, whereas a low-molecular weight, a high temperature of crystallization, and a crystallization medium of low polarity yielded the mannan I polymorph. Since the base-plane unit-cell dimensions are fairly constant with respect to variation of glucose, it is likely that isomorphous replacement of mannose by glucose occurs in glucomannan crystallization; the data also indicate that perfection of the glucomannan crystals was reduced in specimens having a high glucose:mannose ratio. The oriented crystallization of glucomannan on cellulose microfibrils was also studied under conditions where the mannan I polymorph was obtained. This gave shish-kebab structures that were characterized.

    Notes: The primary hydration process of native biopolymers is analyzed in a brief review of the literature, pertaining to various aspects of biopolymer-water systems. Based on this analysis, a hydration model is proposed that implies that the solution conformation of native biopolymers is stable at and above a critical degree of hydration (hp′ = 0.06-0.1 g H2O/g polymer). This water content corresponds to the fraction of strongly bound water, and amounts to ∼20% of the primary hydration sphere. In order to test this model, detailed sorption-desorption scanning experiments were performed on a globular protein (α-chymotrypsin). The results obtained are consistent with the proposed hydration model. They show that under certain experimental conditions, sorption isotherms can be obtained that do not exhibit hysteresis. These data represent equilibrium conditions and are thus accessible to thermodynamic treatment. Valid thermodynamic functions, pertinent to the interaction of water with biopolymers in their solution state, can be obtained from these sorption experiments.

    Notes: The light scattering of bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been measured at protein concentration up to 90 g/L and at pH values between 4.4 and 7.6. The dependence of scattering on both protein concentration and pH may be quantitatively accounted for by a simple extension of the hard-sphere model for protein solutions [Ross, P. D. & Minton, A. P. (1977) J. Mol. Biol. 112, 437-452] allowing for electrostatic repulsions between molecules. According to the extended model, the radius of the effective hard spherical particle representing BSA varies with the net electrical charge of the BSA molecule in a manner which may be calculated from electrostatic theory.

    Notes: A complete analysis of all possible conformations with correct hydrogen bonds of the collagen II type was performed on the basis of developed simultaneous equations. Using a unimodal search (by varying Ψ3), the energetically favorable structure was obtained. No other energetically satisfactory structural solutions are possible. The next aim was to obtain a precise model of the molecule. The program used includes a subroutine for continual deformation of the pyrrolidine rings. The set of parameters determining the structure consists of 14 independent variables (8 dihedral and 6 bond angles). As starting points for the energy optimization, conformations produced by scanning and some structures from previous work were used. The final structures (practically the same for both polymers) have helix parameters h = 0.285 nm and t = 52°, which are in excellent agreement with the 7/2 symmetry of diffraction data. The conformations of the pyrrolidine rings are of the B type, i.e., C2-Cβ-exo-Cγ-endo. For both polypeptides, the conformations of imino acids in position 3 of the triplet are the same; in position 2, however, they are slightly different. The difference in diffraction patterns for the 7/2 and 10/3 helices is discussed.

Theoretical calculations, based on the x-ray crystal structure, have been carried out by means of an origin independent matrix formalism. The entire molecule was included in the calculations in the sense that essentially all electronic transitions that occur at wavelengths longer than 185 nm were included in the basis set. A linear dielectric function was utilized to evaluate the intertransition coupling potentials. The results of the theoretical calculations were in reasonable agreement with experimental CD spectra of the molecule.

    Notes: The mode of action of many antitumor agents entails the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. Because many of the drugs can intercalate, it is assumed that intercalation is an important step in the mechanism of biological activity. As intercalants contain a planar chromophore as an ingredient essential for intercalation, chromophores that should fit into DNA are desired. This is the main theme of this investigation. Binding to DNA of fundamental moieties, protonated pyridine, aniline, phenol, quinone, and 4H-thiopyran-4-one, is studied to determine their optimum placement in DNA. The optimum orientations for each moiety are superimposed to form polyaromatic systems that can intercalate in a manner in which functional groups on these chromophores are oriented as in the moieties themselves. Ideal intercalants proposed contain three and four fused ring system, have protonated ring nitrogen atoms located to maximize the electrostatic interactions with DNA, hydroxy and amino groups that can hydrogen bond to the OII and O5′ phosphate backbone atoms, and carbonyl and sulfur groups in the central position of the ring system to provide variations in the chromophore and to interact with the relatively positive region in the intercalation site. The optimum orientation occurs when the chromophore and the base pairs overlap to the maximum extent. The ideal intercalants are fundamentally of the type:

    Notes: DNA reassociation kinetics using the phenol emulsion reassociation technique (PERT) [Kohne, D. E., Levison, S. A. & Byers, M. J. (1977) Biochemistry 16, 5329-5341] has been investigated at high DNA concentrations using an endonuclease S1 assay of reaction progress. Apparent second-order rate constants fall on two intersecting straight lines when presented as a function of DNA concentrations on a log-log plot. In the low DNA concentration range, the rate constants drop about 10-fold when concentration increases 1000-fold. In the high DNA concentration range, the rate constants drop more than 10-fold when concentration increases 10-fold. The slopes of these lines are the same in different solvents and at different temperatures. The intersection between the lines occurs when the available catalytic surface is saturated. At high DNA concentrations, high-complexity heterologous denatured DNA apparently competes 2-4 times better for the surface than homologous DNA because it does not participate in a reassociation reaction. Native and partially native DNA molecules cannot compete with single-stranded DNA for a saturated surface. At high DNA concentrations, reactions using PERT become dependent on the single-strand DNA length. Increasing length lowers reassociation rates.

    Notes: Classical potential functions (CPF) calculations on 3′-mononucleotides, the building blocks of nucleic acids, predict a correlation between the sugar ring pucker and the torsion angle Φ′ around the C3′—O3′ bond. In ribonucleotides, the value of Φ′ depends on the sugar pucker, viz. the C2′-endo sugar pucker is associated with Φ′ = 210° and 270°, while the C3′-endo sugar pucker favors only Φ′ = 210°. On the other hand, in deoxyribonucleotides, both sugar puckers show a preference for Φ′ = 180°. These theoretical predictions are fully corroborated by the results obtained from x-ray and nmr studies on mono-, di-, and polynucleotides.

    Notes: The effect of several surfactants on the secondary structure of bovine β-lactoglobulin B was determined from the circular dichroism spectra. The spectra were measured at several concentrations of surfactant ranging from 1 mg/mL to the critical micelle concentration. The surfactants studied were sodium dodecyl, decyl, and octyl sulfate, sodium dodecyl sarcosinate, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The data were analyzed using the method of Chen et al. [Biochemistry (1974) 13, 3350-3359] to determine the percentage of α-helix, β-sheet, and unordered form at each surfactant concentration. In every case, an increase in structured form and a 20-25% decrease in the amount of unordered form was noted when the surfactant concentration reached the critical micelle concentration. However, the relative amounts of the two structured forms present depend on the surfactant used. The profile of the secondary structure of the protein also varied from surfactant to surfactant as the protein was titrated, probably reflecting the delicate balance between ionic and nonionic forces that governs the secondary structure of β-lactoglobulin and most other globular proteins in aqueous solution.

    Notes: Amino acids are known to differ in their individual preferences for each of the four positions of the β-turn conformation formed by tetrapeptide segments. Proline and glycine show relatively high preferences for positions 2 and 3, respectively, of the β-turn. Using tripeptides of the type N-acetyl-Pro-Gly-X-OH, where X = Gly, Ala, Leu, Ile, and Phe, we have sought to study the influence of the 4th residue X on the stability of the β-turn conformation in these tripeptides. Our nmr and CD results show that the β-turn stability is quite significantly governed by the nature of the amino acid residue at this position in the following order: Leu 〉 Ala 〉 Ile, Gly 〉 Phe.

    Notes: Thermodynamic studies of the binding of adamantanecarboxylate to cyclodextrins have been made as a function of temperature and added organic cosolvent (methanol) using flow microcalorimetry. The negative heat capacity change associated with the adamantanecar-boxylate/β-cyclodextrin interaction and the fact that the interaction is weakened by the addition of methanol implicate the binding process as being a hydrophobically driven one. The negative enthalpy change (ΔH0 = -5.5 kcal/mol) and near-zero entropy change (ΔS0 = 1.5 cal/mol deg) are quite different from the values normally expected for a hydrophobic bond, indicating that other bonding forces are important in addition to the hydrophobic effect. The relative contribution of the hydrophobic effect and other bonding forces (most likely van der Waals forces) to the overall binding was judged from an analysis of the dependence of the thermodynamics of the association process on the surface tension of the water-methanol mixtures following a model for “solvophobic” bonding described by Sinanoglu [Molecular Associations in Biology (1968) Academic Press, New York, pp. 427-445]. From this analysis, adamantane-carboxylate/cyclodextrin complex formation is found to be driven to the extent of -1.9 kcal/mol by the hydrophobic effect. Furthermore, the hydrophobic driving force is found to be characterized by a positive ΔS0 of 10 cal/mol deg. The remaining free energy of binding (and the ΔH0 of binding of ∼-6 kcal/mol) is then due to the intrinsic (surface-tension-independent) van der Waals interaction between the ligand and cyclodextrin cavity.

    Notes: Pivaloyl-L-Pro-Aib-N-methylamide has been shown to possess one intramolecular hydrogen bond in (CD3)2SO solution, by 1H-nmr methods, suggesting the existence of β-turns, with Pro-Aib as the corner residues. Theoretical conformational analysis suggests that Type II β-turn conformations are about 2 kcal mol-1 more stable than Type III structures. A crystallographic study has established the Type II β-turn in the solid state. The molecule crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 5.865 Å, b = 11.421 Å, c = 12.966 Å, β = 97.55°, and Z = 2. The structure has been refined to a final R value of 0.061. The Type II β-turn conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular 4 → 1 hydrogen bond between the methylamide NH and the pivaloyl CO group. The conformational angles are φPro = -57.8°, ψPro = 139.3°, φAib = 61.4°, and ψAib = 25.1°. The Type II β-turn conformation for Pro-Aib in this peptide is compared with the Type III structures observed for the same segment in larger peptides.

    Notes: The folding-unfolding process of reduced bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor was investigated with an idealized model employing approximate free energies. The protein is regarded to consist of only Cα and Cβ atoms. The backbone dihedral angles are the only conformational variables and are permitted to take discrete values at every 10°. Intraresidue energies consist of two terms: an empirical part taken from the observed frequency distributions of (φ,ψ) and an additional favorable energy assigned to the native conformation of each residue. Interresidue interactions are simplified by assuming that there is an attractive energy operative only between residue pairs in close contact in the native structure. A total of 230,000 molecular conformations, with no atomic overlaps, ranging from the native state to the denatured state, are randomly generated by changing the sampling bias. Each conformation is classified according to its conformational energy, F; a conformational entropy, S(F) is estimated for each value of F from the number of samples. The dependence of S(F) on energy reveals that the folding-unfolding transition for this idealized model is an “all-or-none” type; this is attributable to the specific long-range interactions. Interresidue contact probabilities, averaged over samples representing various stages of folding, serve to characterize folding intermediates. Most probable equilibrium pathways for the folding-unfolding transition are constructed by connecting conformationally similar intermediates. The specific details obtained for bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor are as follows: (1) Folding begins with the appearance of nativelike medium-range contacts at a β-turn and at the α-helix. (2) These grow to include the native pair of interacting β-strands. This state includes intact regular secondary conformations, as well as the interstrand sheet contacts, and corresponds to an activated state with the highest free energy on the pathway. (3) Additional native long-range contacts are completely formed either toward the amino terminus or toward the carboxyl terminus. (4) In a final step, the missing contacts appear. Although these folding pathways for this model are not consistent with experimental reports, it does indicate multiple folding pathways. The method is general and can be applied to any set of calculated conformational energies and furthermore permits investigation of gross folding features.

    Notes: Peptide NH chemical shifts and their temperature dependences have been monitored as a function of concentration for the decapeptide, Boc-Aib-Pro-Val-Aib-Val-Ala-Aib-Ala-Aib-Aib-OMe in CDCl3 (0.001-0.06M) and (CD3)2SO (0.001-0.03M). The chemical shifts and temperature coefficients for all nine NH groups show no significant concentration dependence in (CD3)2SO. Seven NH groups yield low values of temperature coefficients over the entire range, while one yields an intermediate value. In CDCl3, the Aib(1) NH group shows a large concentration dependence of both chemical shift and temperature coefficient, in contrast to the other eight NH groups. The data suggest that in (CD3)2SO, the peptide adopts a 310 helical conformation and is monomeric over the entire concentration range. In CDCl3, the 310 helical peptide associates at a concentration of 0.01M, with the Aib(1) NH involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bond. Association does not disrupt the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding pattern in the decapeptide.

    Notes: A formalism for extracting the conformations of a proline ring based on the bistable jump model of R. E. London [(1978) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100, 2678-2685] from 13C spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) is given. The method is such that the relaxation data are only partially used to generate the conformations; these conformations are constrained to satisfy the rest of the relaxation data and to yield acceptable ring geometry. An alternate equation for T1 of 13C nuclei to that of London is given. The formalism is illustrated through an example.

    Notes: We have used broadline proton magnetic resonance to study molecular motion in cellulose, a sodium pectate solution, a calcium pectate gel, and isolated bean cell walls. All samples were prepared in D2O to minimize the contribution of water to the observed signals. For each sample, a free induction decay was obtained, and the second moment, spin-lattice relaxation, and dipolar relaxation were measured. Our results show that the large majority of protons in cellulose are immobile. Rigid and mobile domains were also observed in the pectate samples. We have shown that gelation induces large-scale changes in the free induction decay, the second moment, and the relaxation behavior of the pectate. As with the other samples, rigid and more mobile domains were found in bean cell walls. The fraction in the rigid domains is much larger than the fraction of cellulose in the sample, suggesting that the noncellulosic wall components are also organized into rigid and mobile domains.

    Notes: Conformational energy computations were carried out on collagenlike triple-stranded conformations of several poly(tripeptide)s with the general structure CH3CO—(Gly—X—Y)3—NHCH3. The sequences considered had various amino acid residues in position X or Y of the central tripeptide, with either Pro or Ala as a neighbor, i.e., Gly-X-Pro, Gly-X-Ala, Gly-Pro-Y, and Gly-Ala-Y. Minimum-energy conformations were computed for the side chains, and their distributions were compared for the four sequences. The residues used were Abu (= α-aminobutyric acid), Leu, Phe, Ser, Asp, Asn, Val, Ile, and Thr. The conformational energy of a —Ch2—CH3 side chain in Abu was mapped as a function of the dihedral angle χ1. Intrastrand interactions with neighboring residues do not affect the conformations of a side chain in position Y, and they have a minor effect on it in the X-Ala sequence, but they strongly restrict the conformational freedom of the side chain in the X-Pro sequence. Conversely, interstrand interactions do not affect side chains in position X, but they strongly restrict the conformational freedom of a side chain in position Y if there is a nearby Pro residue in a neighboring strand. Hydrogen bonds with the backbone can be formed in some conformations of long polar side chains, such as Asp, Asn, or Gln. All amino acid residues can be accommodated in collagen. Because of the interactions mentioned above, steric and energetic constraints can be correlated with observed preferences of certain amino acids for positions X or Y in collagen. Hence, these preferences may be explained, in part, in terms of differences in the conformational freedom of the side chains in the triple-stranded structure.

    Notes: The ionization constants of the tyrosyl groups of chymotrypsinogen and of nitrated-chymotrypsinogen (two tyrosyl residues nitrated) have been determined by difference spectrophotometry. In chymotrypsinogen, two of the four tyrosyl groups ionize without any time dependence. Above pH greater than ca. 12.5, time-dependent spectral changes are seen for 0.7 group equivalent. The data can be fitted to the values of pK′1 9.75 ± 0.07, pK′2 11.55 ± 0.05, pK′3 13.30 ± 0.05. In nitrated-chymotrypsinogen, the two nitrated tyrosyl residues have pK′1 6.44 and pK′2 8.30. For both proteins, these pK′ values are in agreement with those evaluated from potentiometric titration and calorimetric data using computer-assisted curve-fitting analysis.

    Notes: The conformation of several samples of poly(α,β-L-Asp) with a molar fraction of β-bonds ranging from 0.1 to 0.55 was investigated by means of ir and CD spectroscopy and potentiometric titration and compared with the results obtained previously with poly(α-L-Asp). All samples investigated underwent a conformational change induced by changes in their degree of ionization: unpronounced ir absorption of amide V at 650 cm-1 was shifted to 620 cm-1 and substantially increased on deionization; CD spectra changed with the degree of ionization, passing through an isosbestic point; and the pattern of the titration curves was more complex than that of a simple polyelectrolyte. The conformation developing with the decreasing degree of ionization may be considered to be α-helix, as deduced according to the analogous behavior of other polypeptides. The extent of the conformational change in the individual samples depends on the molar fraction of β-bonds: the higher it is, the lower is the helix-forming ability of the sample.

    Notes: The use of 1H-nmr spectroscopy is demonstrated to be a useful analytical method to characterize the structure of synthetic peptides attached to soluble, macromolecular polyoxyethylene (POE) supports in the liquid-phase method (LPM) of peptide synthesis. We report an extensive 360-MHz 1H-nmr study of POE-bound homo-oligo-L-methionine peptides. A combination of high field and selective saturation or Redfield pulse methods allows resolution of individual backbone NH and α-CH resonances of dilute peptides in the presence of strong resonances from macromolecular POE and/or protonated solvents. The nmr spectra for the POE-bound peptides in CDCl3 are qualitatively similar to those of the low-molecular-weight Boc-L-Metn-OMe peptide esters. This corroborates other observations that POE has little effect on peptide stucture. The backbone α-CH region of peptides is overlapped by signals from the terminal oxyethylene group of POE, but the peptide side-chain and low-field backbone NH resonances are well resolved. In trifluoroethanol the Boc-(L-Met)n-NH-POE heptamer and octamer adopt the right-handed α-helical structure, and the present nmr studies provide evidence for two strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds to stabilize the helices. In water, the N-deblocked derivatives, (L-Met)n-NH-POE oligomers adopt β-sheet structure and manifest well-resolved nonequivalent NH resonances with 6-7 Hz 3JNH-CH coupling constants.

    Notes: The concerted model of Monod, Wyman, and Changeux is generalized so that all effects of interactions for an enzyme operating at a nonequilibrium stationary state are considered. In contrast to the original model, which is based on an analogy to equilibrium ligand binding, the generalization may show both “positive” and “negative cooperativity” in both catalytic binding and conformational processes. Furthermore, in contrast to any equilibrium binding model, the Hill coefficients may be greater than the number of sites n. For catalysis, the maximum value is 2n, and for conformational changes, n + 1. These points are illustrated by two cases that yield simpler analytic expressions. The first obtains when catalysis occurs on a much faster time scale than the conformational changes, and the second, when this situation is reversed.
