    Notes: Abstract The evolutionary relationships of four eukaryotic kingdoms—Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista—remain unclear. In particular, statistical support for the closeness of animals to fungi rather than to plants is lacking, and a preferred branching order of these and other eukaryotic lineages is still controversial even though molecular sequences from diverse eukaryotic taxa have been analyzed. We report a statistical analysis of 214 sequences of nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA (srRNA) gene undertaken to clarify these evolutionary relationships. We have considered the variability of substitution rates and the nonindependence of nucleotide substitution across sites in the srRNA gene in testing alternative hypotheses regarding the branching patterns of eukaryote phylogeny. We find that the rates of evolution among sites in the srRNA sequences vary substantially and are approximately gamma distributed with size and shape parameter equal to 0.76. Our results suggest that (1) the animals and true fungi are indeed closer to each other than to any other “crown” group in the eukaryote tree, (2) red algae are the closest relatives of animals, true fungi, and green plants, and (3) the heterokonts and alveolates probably evolved prior to the divergence of red algae and animal-fungus-green-plant lineages. Furthermore, our analyses indicate that the branching order of the eukaryotic lineages that diverged prior to the evolution of alveolates may be generally difficult to resolve with the srRNA sequence data.

    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary The bone resorptive factor and amphipathic antigen (AcA) previously identified by us in preparations fromActinomyces viscosus have been partially purified, characterized chemically, and compared. They elute at the same location on chromatography with Ac 22. The fatty acid composition of AcA and the bone resorptive factor is the same. Some differences in carbohydrate composition are observed. TheActinomyces factor does not affect calcium influx or cyclic AMP in isolated bone cells. Therefore it is concluded that AcA stimulates resorption either by gaining entrance into bone cells or by way of a yet undetermined second messenger.

    Perceptions of chemistry: Why is the common perception of chemistry, the most visual of sciences, so distorted? (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of science education and technology 5 (1996), S. 193-201

    ISSN: 1573-1839

    Topics: Natural Sciences in General , Technology
    Notes: Abstract Chemistry has evolved from a science dominated by mathematics into a science highly dependent on spatial-visual intelligence. Yet the chemical content of introductory courses remains taught essentially the same as 40–50 years ago. Chemistry, today, is recognized by chemists as the molecular science. Yet, school chemistry is alienated from that perception. Thanks to the computer, young people are more comfortable with visual imaging than their instructors were at the same age. Thus the time is rife to reinvigorate chemistry education by means of the visual-spatial approach, an approach wholly in conformance with the way modern chemistry is thought about and practiced.

    Description / Table of Contents: Neuartige Fluoropolyether-Polyol-Harze, die mit konventionellen Härtern wie Polyisocyanaten oder Melaminen aushärtbar sind, wurden hergestellt. Zunächst wurden oligomere NCO-terminierte Prepolymere durch Addition von Fluorpolyether-Makrodiolen unterschiedlicher Molekulargewichte an Isophorondiisocyanate erhalten. Durch die Reaktion dieser Prepolymeren mit Trimethylolpropan wurden endständige Hydroxygruppen eingeführt. Die Viskosität von Lösungen dieser Harze wurde bei unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen (Massenbruch 0,4-0,8) und Temperaturen (25°C-65°C) gemessen. Die erhaltenen Werte wurden auf der Basis der Erickson-Gleichung (Konzentrationsabhängigkeit von η) und unter Berücksichtigung des WLF-und des Arrhenius-Modells (Temperaturabhängigkeit von η) diskutiert. Das thermische Verhalten der Harze und von ausgehärteten Filmen wurde mit DSC bestimmt. Dabei wurden zwei Glasübergange beobachtet, die den separierten fluorhaltigen und nicht-fluorhaltigen Phasen zugeordnet werden können. Die Analyse des Zugverhaltens der Filme zeigte besonders bei den mit Isocyanat gehärteten Proben ein ausgeprägtes hart-plastisches Verhalten. Diese Werkstoffe erscheinen für die Anwendung als hoch-wertige, dauerfeste und klare Beschichtungen geeignet.
    Notes: New fluoropolyether polyolic resins are presented suitable to be cured with conventional hardeners as polyisocyanates or melamines. These resins are prepared by addition of fluoropolyether macrodiols (Fomblin® ZDOLTX) of various molecular weights to isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to give oligomeric NCO-terminated prepolymers. The final hydroxy functionality is obtained by the reaction of those prepolymers with trimethylolpropane (TMP). The viscosity of the resins is measured at various concentrations (weight fraction 0.8 - 0.4) and temperatures (T = 25-65°C). The results are discussed in terms of the Erickson equation (η vs. concentration) and using the WLF and Arrhenius models (η vs. T). The thermal behavior is studied by DSC for both the resins and cured films indicating the presence of two Tgs, corresponding to the segregated fluorinated and hydrogenated phases, the former particularly evident with the highest molecular weights of the fluorinated macromer. Tensile curves of selfsupported films are then analyzed showing an evident tough-plastic behavior especially for the isocyanate-cured films. The application of such materials as high-durability clear coats is finally proposed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zur Verbesserung der Maßhaltigkeit und der Zähigkeit von gehärteten Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden teilverträgliche, methylolgruppenhaltige Epoxidharze (EP) auf Bisphenol A-Basis hergestellt und charakterisiert. Die Vernetzung solcher Epoxyresolharze durch 2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazol in Gegenwart von MF-Harz wurde untersucht. Spritzgepreßte Probekörper zeigen eine Zweiphasenstruktur; die EP-Phase kann als Wirt für carboxy-funktionalisierte, oligomere NBR-Kautschuke (CTBNX) dienen, die für sich allein in MF-Harzen nicht wirksam sind. Unter der Voraussetzung von kovalenten Bindungen in der Phasengrenzfläche kann durch den Zusatz von 0,5 bis 4 Gew.-% CTBNX zur MF-Formmasse bei EP-Anteilen bis 20 Gew.-% eine 50 bis 100proz. Steigerung von Bruchdehnung und Schlagzähigkeit erreicht werden, ohne daß Steifigkeit und Wärmeformbeständigkeit wesentlich abfallen. Bei moderaten EP/CTBNX-Gehalten wird zusätzlich die Nachschwindung von MF-Formteilen vermindert.
    Notes: In order to improve dimension stability and toughness of melamine formaldehyde moulding materials (MF), compatible bisphenol A epoxy resins (EP) with additional methylol groups were synthesized and characterized. Crosslinking of those epoxyresol resins with 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole in the presence of MF resin was investigated. Transfer-moulded specimens revealed a two-phase morphology in which the EP phase is used as a host for modification with carboxylic functionalized oligomeric NBR rubber (CTBNX), which is not effective in MF moulding materials alone. The addition of 0.5 - 4 wt.-% CTBNX to the MF moulding materials at an epoxy content of maximum 20 wt.-% results in 50-100 % increase of elasticity and toughness without serious decrease in stiffness and heat deflection temperature, provided that covalent interfacial bonds exist. In addition, the post-shrinkage of MF parts decreases if a moderate EP/CTBNX content is introduced.

Bemerkenswert ist, daß die Einführung von 2,5 und 5 Teilen Ruß eine Verbesserung der physico-mechanischen Eigenschaften ermöglicht. Dieses Resultat ist durch die Anwesenheit der Schlagzäh- und Fließmodifikatoren zu erklären.
    Notes: The concurrent influence of the processing aid (Paraloid K 120N) and the carbon black ratio, as well as the nature and the ratio of the impact modifier (CPE 3615 and Kane Ace B56 A) on the main physico-mechanical characteristics of the poly(vinyl chloride)-based unplasticized mixtures have been studied. The results obtained, processed mathematically and plotted graphically in the form of response surfaces, evidenced that the improvement of certain physico-mechanical properties becomes possible by the introduction of 2.5 parts and 5.0 parts carbon black into these compounds. This is due to the introduction of impact modifiers and processing aids into the mixtures.

    Notes: A series of new polyhydrazides containing pendent phenoxy groups has been synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of equimolar amounts of diacid dichlorides and 2-phenoxyterephthalic dihydrazide in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidi-none (NMP). The thermal cyclization of the polyhydrazides gave the corresponding poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s containing pendent phenoxy groups. The polymers were characterized by viscometry, solubility measurements, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeres (EVA) mit 12% Vinylacetat-Gehalt wurde mit Trimethylolpropantrimethacrylat (TMPTMA) als Sensibilisator mit Elektronen bestrahlt. Die mechanischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften der bestrahlten Copolymerproben wurden untersucht. Die Resultate zeigen, daß sich Zugfestigkeit und Bruchdehnung zunächst mit zunehmender Strahlungsdosis verbessern und bei Überschreiten einer optimalen Strahlungsdosis und Sensibilisatorkonzentration wieder verschlechtern. Durch die Bestrahlung wird eine Vernetzung des Polymeren ausgelöst, die auf den sich mit der Strahlungsdosis erhöhenden Gelanteil zurückgeführt wird. Im Vergleich mit den Originalproben nehmen sowohl die Dielektrizitätskonstante als auch der dielektrische Verlustfaktor durch die Elektronenbestrahlung ab.
    Notes: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer (12% vinyl acetate content) is subjected to electron beam irradiation using trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a radiation sensitizer. Mechanical and electrical studies of these irradiated samples show that the strength properties (tensile strength, elongation at break) are increased with radiation dosage up to an optimum radiation dose and sensitizer level above which the properties begin to deteriorate. Crosslinking of the polymer takes place on irradiation which is attributed to an increased gel content with increasing radiation dose. Compared to the original samples both dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor decrease for samples subjected to irradiation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cellulose-p-toluolsulfonsäureester (Cellulosetosylate) lassen sich durch homogene Umsetzung von Cellulose in einer Lösung aus N,N-Dimethylacetamid und LiCl mit Tosylchlorid (Tos-Cl) und Triethylamin in 24 h bei 8°C in hoher Ausbeute und mit minimalem Einbau von Chlordesoxy-Gruppen herstellen. Die unterschiedlichen Celluloseausgangsmaterialien hatten durchschnittliche Polymerisationsgrade von 280 bis 5100. Die Produkte wurden mit Elementaranalyse, 13C-NMR- und FTIR-Spektroskopie und durch Bestimmung der Grenzviskositäten charakterisiert. Die Erhöhung des Molverhältnisses Tos-Cl/Anhydroglucose-Einheit (AGU) von 0.6 auf 9.0 führte zu einem Anstieg des Substitutionsgrades (DS) von 0.4 bis auf einen Maximalwert von 2.3. Die Cellulosetosylate sind in herkömmlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln wie Dimethylsulfoxid (im gesamten DS Bereich) und in N,N-Dimethylacetamid, N,N-Dimethylformamid, Aceton, Tetrahydrofuran und Trichlormethan (in Abhängigkeit von DS) löslich. Durch 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie wurde nachgewiesen, daß die Tosylierung am O-6 Atom der AGU schneller als an den O-2/3 Atomen erfolgt. Die Analyse der korrespondierenden Ioddesoxycellulosen, die durch Umsetzung mit NaI in Acetylaceton synthetisiert wurden, bestätigte dies zusätzlich. Darüber hinaus wurden wichtige Eigenschaften der Cellulosetosylate wie die Stabilität gegenüber Alkali und thermischer Beanspruchung untersucht.
    Notes: Pure cellulose p-toluenesulfonates (tosylates) with an insignificant formation of chlorodeoxy groups were prepared by reacting cellulose dissolved in a solution of N,N-dimethylacetamide and LiCI with tosylchloride (Tos-CI) in the presence of triethylamine within 24 h at 8°C. Various cellulosic starting materials with a degree of polymerization from 280 to 5 100 were used. The samples obtained were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FTIR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and their intrinsic viscosities. The rise of the molar ratio of Tos-CI/anhydroglucose unit (AGU) from 0.6 to 9.0 leads to an increase in the degree of substitution (DS) from 0.4 up to a maximum value of 2.3. The cellulose tosylates are readily soluble in common organic solvents like dimethyl sulfoxide (within the whole DS range) and in N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetone, tetrahydrofuran and trichloromethane depending on DS. As revealed by 13C NMR spectroscopy a faster tosylation takes place at the O-6 atom of AGU compared with the O-2/3 atoms. This was additionally confirmed by analysis of the corresponding iododeoxy celluloses synthesized with NaI in acetylacetone. Furthermore, some important properties as stability against alkaline and heat were studied as well.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Herstellung einer SiC-Oberfläche auf Kohlefasern unter Verwendung einer Sol-Gel-Mischung von Tetraethylorthosilikat (TEOS) und Phenolharz wurde untersucht. FTIR- und SEM-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß die SiC-Oberfläche durch carbothermische Reduktion der Sol-Gel-Mischung bei 1 420°C innerhalb von 15-20 min in einer Argon-Atmosphäre gebildet werden kann. Mittels TGA konnte gezeigt werden, daß die SiC-Beschichtung die thermo-oxidative Stabilität der Kohlefasern erhöht. Bei der erreichten SiC-Schichtdicke von 0,47 μm, bei einem C/Si-Verhältnis von 4, zeigt sich keine Beeinflussung der mechanischen Stabilität der Kohlefasern.
    Notes: The preparation of a SiC coating on a carbon fiber surface using a sol-gel mixture of tetraethyl orthosilicat (TEOS) and phenolic resin was studied. FTIR and SEM investigations indicated that the SiC coating can be formed by carbothermal reduction of the sol-gel mixture at 1420°C for 15-20 min in an argon atmosphere. TGA of the coated fiber was also performed, showing that the SiC coating improves the thermooxidative stability of the carbon fiber. With the thickness of the obtained coating of 0.47 μm using a C/Si ratio of 4, this treatment does not affect the carbon fiber strength.

    Description / Table of Contents: Diese Mitteilung behandelt den Einfluß von oligomeren Polypropylen- und Polybutylenölen mit unterschiedlichem Molekulargewicht auf die adhäsiven Eigenschaften von ataktischem Polypropylen (aPP) und dessen Mischungen mit einem Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren. Die mechanische Adhäsionsarbeit Am von Mischungen, die ataktisches Polypropylen und das Oligomere enthalten, steigt mit dem Molekulargewicht des Oligomeren, was im Fall des Propylenöls signifikanter ist. Im Fall der ternären Mischungen des ataktischen Polypropylens mit dem Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren und Oligomeren wird ein Adhäsions-Maximum beobachtet, wenn der Gehalt an Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren in der Mischung ungefähr 30 Gew.-% erreicht. Wenn kein Oligomeres in der Mischung vorhanden ist, kann man bei dieser Zusammensetzung ein Adhäsions-Minimum beobachten, was auf die Unverträglichkeit der übrigen Komponenten zurückzuführen ist.
    Notes: This paper deals with the influence of oligomers, namely propylene oil and butylene oil, of different molecular weight on the adhesive properties of atactic polypropylene (aPP) and its mixtures with styrene-2-ethylhexyl acrylate (S-EHA) copolymer. The mechanical work of adhesion Am of the mixture containing atactic polypropylene and oligomer increases with the molecular weight of the oligomer, which was more significant in the case of propylene oil. For ternary mixtures aPP-S-EHA copolymer/oligomer a maximum of adhesion can be observed if the content of the S-EHA copolymer in the mixture reaches about 30 mass-%. In the absence of oligomers in the mixture a minimum of adhesion can be observed for this composition, which can be attributed to the incompatibility of the remaining components.

    Description / Table of Contents: After comparison of three catalyst systems, i.e. [Nd(Oct)3/Al2Cl3ET3/Al(i-But)3, Ni(Oct)2/BF3OEt2/AlEt3 and Al(i-But)3/I2/TiCl4] the titanium catalyst system was used for the copolymerization of 1,3-butadiene with propylene oxide. The effects of monomer ratio on copolymer composition, conversion, microstructure, molar mass and molar mass distribution as well as of time of polymerization and of the aluminium/titanium ratio were evaluted. The copolymerization parameters were determined according to Kelen-Tüdős as rbutadiene = 0,9 and rpropylene oxide = 3,9. Copolymerization was confirmed by 13C NMR spectroscopy and extract evaluation combined with 1H NMR spectroscopy.
    Notes: Für die Copolymerisation von 1,3-Butadien mit Propylenoxid wurde nach dem Vergleich der drei Katalysatorsysteme Nd(Oct)3/Al2Cl3ET3/Al(i-But)3, Ni(Oct)2/ BF3OEt2/AlEt3 und Al(i-But)3/I2/TiCl4 das Titankatalysatorsystem eingesetzt. Neben dem Einfluß der Monomerzusammensetzung auf den Umsatz, die Microstruktur, die Copolymerzusammensetzung, die Molmassen sowie die Molmassenverteilungen wurden auch die Polymerisationszeit und das Aluminium/Titan-Verhältnis untersucht. Die Copolymerisationsparameter wurden nach Kelen-Tüdős zu rButadien = 0,9 und rPropylenoxid = 3,9 bestimmt. Der Copolymernachweis erfolgte über 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie und Extraktionsuntersuchungen in Verbindung mit 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie.

    Description / Table of Contents: Phosphorhaltige Polyurethane (PU-P) auf der Basis von Bisphenol A wurden durch N-Alkylierung hergestellt und mittels IR- und 1H NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Physikalische und thermische Eigenschaften dieser Polyurethane wurden mittels Differentialkalorimetrie, Thermogravimetrie, Röntgenbeugung und Untersuchungen der Löslichkeit, der Feuerbeständigkeit (Sauerstoffindex, LOI) und der reduzierten Viskosität bestimmt. Die Glastemperaturen der N-alkylierten Polymeren sanken von 120°C für das Ausgangspolymere bis auf 29°C für das N-alkylierte Polyurethan mit 2 Gew.-% Phosphor. Die Viskosität der N-alkylierten Polyurethane nahm von 0,36 dL g-1 auf 0,24 dL g-1 ab. Die phosphorhaltigen Polyurethane besitzen eine geringere thermische Stabilität und bessere Löslichkeit sowie höhere Feuerbeständlgkeit als das Ausgangspolymere. Die Röntgenstreuexperimente ergaben, daß ein erhöhter Phosphorgehalt der Polyurethane die Kristallinität herabsetzt.
    Notes: Phosporus-containing polyurethanes (PU-P) based on bisphenol A were prepared by N-alkylation. The structures of N-alkylated polyurethanes were characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectra. Physical and thermal properties of the phosphorus-containing polyurethanes were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, tests of solubility, limiting oxygen index (LOI) and reduced viscosity. Tg of the N-alkylated polymers decreased from 120°C for the starting polymer to 29°C of the 2.0 wt.-% phosphorus-containing polyurethanes. The viscosity of N-alkylated polyurethanes also decreased from 0.36 dL g-1 to 0.24 dL g-1. The thermal stability of polyurethanes decreased on the introduction of phosphorus groups. The LOI values of polyurethanes showed that fire resistance of phosphorus-containing polyurethanes was enhanced. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the increased phosphorus content was accompanied by decreased crystallinity of the polyurethanes. The solubility of PU-P was improved.

    Notes: This question was addressed using various methods to monitor the process of curing and state of the final network. Attention was particularly focused on the possible inhomogeneous network formation as a consequence of the crosslinking process. An analysis of experimental data has revealed that some cured resins can be considered as homogeneous as the corresponding uncrosslinked materials. Resins cured by simple stepwise alternating chemistries, with good compatibility of components, usually fulfill the criterion of homogeneity. A family of epoxy resins cured with polyamines belongs to this category. Nodular structures seen by electron microscopy are a result of interaction of the electron beam or etching. Such structures are also observed for uncrosslinked polymers investigated under the same conditions. Formation of inhomogeneities in a number of thermoset systems is due to (a) chainwise mechanism of network formation with fast propagation inducing cyclization and steric volume exclusion and (b) poor compatibility of components of the system made stronger by increasing molecular weights and crosslinking during curing. Networks formed by freeradical polymerization and copolymerization of polyvinyl monomers can serve as an example of crosslinking-driven formation of inhomogeneities.

    Notes: The base and transition metal catalyzed isomerization of allyl and crotyl ethers affords a facile, high yield route to the preparation of a variety of mono-, di-, and multifunctional 1-propenyl and 1-butenyl ethers. Employing this novel method, monomers containing epoxide, ester, ether carbonate and urethane groups can be prepared from their readily available allyl and crotyl precursors. In general, these monomers display very high reactivity in cationic polymerizations. In our work, we have focused on photoinduced cationic polymerizations of these monomers using diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salt photoinitiators. To study these very fast photopolymerizations, extensive use of real-time infrared spectroscopy was made. Employing this technique, the effects of monomer and photoinitiator structure on the rates of polymerization were studied.

    Notes: Rubber elasticity is associated with changes in configurational entropy of a long chain. Because the chain cannot change its configuration instantaneously, there is a time delay in deformation to an applied force. This delayed response is the source of viscoelasticity and hysteresis energy loss of elastomer networks. Many tire performance properties are related to the viscoelasticity of tire components. Wet and dry traction of tire is related to the energy loss of the tread material at very high frequencies. On the other hand, rolling resistance of tire is characterized by the energy loss of tread material at relatively low frequencies. The dynamic viscoelastic properties of elastomer network shows characteristic zones on a frequency scale. At very high frequencies the energy loss is controlled by the segmental motions of the polymer chain. At lower frequencies the energy loss is related to the longer range motions of the chain. A series of polymers was synthesized to study the effect of micro- and macro-structure of the polymer on the viscoelastic properties of tread compounds and their tire performance properties. As expected from the theory, the wet traction of the tire was highly correlated to the segmental motions of the chains; namely, the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The energy loss of the compounds at a higher temperature, however, was related to the macrostructure of the polymer chain. Those examples illustrate that the fundamental understanding of the theory of elastomer network allows a tire engineer to obtain the best balance of tire performance characteristics.

    Notes: Cationic, anionic, and radical ring-opening polymerization of spiro and bicyclic monomers, and their application to network polymers have been developed. Bicyclo orthoesters (BOEs), spiro orthoesters (SOEs), and spiro orthocarbonates (SOCs) were polymerized by cationic double ring-opening. Bicyclobis(γ-butyrolactone)s and spirobis(γ-butyrolactone)s were copolymerized with epoxides by anionic alternating ring-opening. Polymers from SOCs bearing exomethylene groups consisted of ring-opened and vinyl polymerized units. The degree of ring-opening of SOCs depended upon the number of rings and steric hindrance. The radical polymerization of vinylcyclopropanone cyclic acetals depended on the ring-size. With the monomers bearing 5- and 6-membered acetal rings, single ring-opened polymers were obtained. With the monomer bearing 7-membered acetal ring, the polymer mainly consisted of double ring-opened unit. These monomers could be crosslinked by bifunctionalization. Poly(cyclic orthoester)s linked by covalent bonds with dithiols to bifunctional SOEs were crosslinked by acid catalysts, and the reversible crosslinking-depolymerization system could be controlled by temperature.

    Notes: Polyester urethane network elastomers with incorporated hard segment oligomers have been prepared by poly(ethylene adipate)glycol (PEA), 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), and 1,4-butanediol (BD). These hard segment oligomers were hydroxy-terminated oligomers ([BD-TDI]n-BD; n=1,3), obtained by reacting BD with TDI. Concentrations of allophanate as a cross-linking site were determined by the amine degradation method. Hard segment moieties were obtained by a novel selective hydrolysis of soft segments in the elastomers. Molecular weight distributions of hard segment were measured by means of GPC. Mechanical and thermal properties were measured. Dependence of rubber elasticity on physical cross-linking between normal elastomers and the elastomers with incorporated hard segment oligomers were discussed.

    Notes: Poly (vinyl alcohol) with pendent styrylpyridinium groups (SbQ) is insolubilized by photoirradiation. An association takes place in SbQ groups. The association of polymer chains becomes marked with increasing the number of SbQ groups. Mainly intermolecular crosslinks were formed. Transparent and homogeneous macrogels consisting of several intermolecular crosslinks are obtained.The proportion of the free water to the bound water in PVA-SbQ gels was 3.3-2.9 despite of the large change in conversion of photodimerization of SbQ groups, x=0.27-0.58. The water uptake after swelling of the gels in water increased 6-27 times compared to the original weight at pH=7. The higher the degree of photocrosslinking, the lower was the degree of swelling. The water diffusion coefficients, D, were (2.2-5.8) × 10-5 cm2 S-1 for a 88% saponified PVA with 1 . 3 mol% SbQ groups. The volume of the gel increased discontinuously about 10-fold for the 99% saponified PVA with 0 . 096 mol% SbQ and 51% water (49% acetone). The acetone concentration at the transition decreased with increasing the degree of saponification of the PVA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch anionische Copolymerisation von Allylmethacrylat und Methylmethacrylat wurden Makromonomere unterschiedlicher Kettenlänge mit durchschnittlich drei Allyl-Doppelbindungen pro Kette hergestellt́ und mit NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelpermeationschromatographie charakterisiert. Durch Copolymerisation der Makromonomeren mit 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon wurden dreidimensionale Strukturen erhalten. Die optischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Produkte wurden untersucht, und die Quellungseigenschaften und Vernetzungsgrade wurden bestimmt. Die Copolymereigenschaften wurden durch Makromonomere mit Kettenlängen bis 40 Einheiten nur wenig beeinflußt. Bei Kettenlängen über 50 Einheiten wurde eine leichte Abnahme der Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit und eine deutliche Erhähung des Elastizitätsmoduls beobachtet. Die Vernetzungsgrade hängen von der Makromonomer-Kettenlange ab; eine merkliche Erhöhung aufgrund der groößeren Zahl an Methyl-Methyl-Wechselwirkungen wurde bei Kettenlangen über 50 Einheiten festgestellt. Die Copolymeren zeigen günstige Festigkeits-Dehnungs-Eigenschaften und einen geringen Gehalt an wasserlöslichen Extrakten, in denen durch IR-Spektroskopie 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon-Homopolymere identifiziert wurden. Obwohl mit allen untersuchten Makromonomeren gute Resultate erzielt wurden, scheint für die Copolymerisation mit 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon das Makromonomere mit 50 Einheiten am besten geeignet.
    Notes: Macromonomers of various chain lengths with an average of three allyl double bonds per chain were prepared by anionic copolymerization of allyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate. The macromonomers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance. The macromonomers were then copolymerized with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone to form three-dimensional structures. Their optical, swelling and mechanical properties were studied and the crosslinking efficiency was determined. The copolymer properties are not greatly affected by macromonomer chain lengths up to 40-mers; above 50-mers there is a slight decrease in the equilibrium water content and a significant increase in the modulus of elasticity. The crosslinking efficiency depends on the macromonomer chain length; a marked increase was observed for the 50-mer because of a greater number of methyl-methyl interactions. Copolymers have favourable strength-strain properties and a low content of water-soluble extracts, in which the IR analysis demonstrated the presence of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone homopolymers. In spite of the good results obtained for all the macromonomers described in this work, the 50-mer seems to be optimal for copolymerization with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.

The chemical reactions were investigated by means of titration and different spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. It was examined whether the less complicated and therefore cheaper in situ reaction delivers postcured products with equal or better properties. Furthermore, it was investigated whether the results are similar using technical phenolic hardeners.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die physikochemischen Eigenschaften des resultierenden Copolymeren untersucht. Von Bedeutung sind hierbei insbesondere Merkmale wie Molekulargewichtsverteilung, Klebekraft, Stabilität, Löslichkeit sowie rheologische Eigenschaften. Derartige Kenntnisse über die physikochemische Beschaffenheit der PVA-Ausgangsverbindung sowie des makromolekularen Endproduktes sind eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Entwicklung von neuen Produkten, die als wasserlösliche, recycelbare Schlichtemittel zur Anwendung in der Textilindustrie kommen können.
    Notes: A macromolecular sizing agent based on the copolymerization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with hydrolysed starch was prepared using the chemically reactive bifunctional compound N-methylolacrylamide. Detailed characteristics of the resultant PVA/N-methylolcarbamoylethylated starch copolymer were studied where emphasis has been placed on solubility, rheological properties, molecular weight distribution, adhesive power and stability. Elucidation of the nature of the macromolecular segments of both N-methylolcarbamoylethylated PVA as well as PVA/N-methylolcarbamoylethylated starch copolymer fulfilled the prerequisite to tailor PVA/starch copolymer which is appropriate for application as a water-soluble recyclable sizing agent by ultrafiltration.

    Notes: Seismic isolation was reconfirmed to be extremely efficient for the protection of buildings, and hence human life, on the occasion of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Rubber bearings are placed under the buildings for isolation, and thus the type of rubber bearings is a dominant factor for efficient isolation. In this report, the performance of peripherally restraining type rubber bearing (PRB) was examined where its contracted model was found to simulate the performance of full scale PRB precisely. Damping ratio and vertical spring constant of PRB are as good as the existing ones. PRB showed lower critical shear strain, but it was concluded that no problems were found for the actual use of PRB.

    Notes: The network formation of phenol-formaldehyde resin was investigated by the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique. The observed value of the gel point, pc, was exactly determined as a critical extent of reaction, where the Mw/Mn in soluble parts is maximum. The MC simulation with the cubic percolation theory was applied to the gelation of phenolic resins and gave an exact gel point, which was in excellent agreement with the observed value of pc. The simulation showed that the intramolecular reaction occurred frequently with increasing the gel fraction beyond the gel point. The structural analysis of the maximum cluster with the computer strongly supported the contribution of the intramolecular reaction to the network formation of the gel.

    Notes: The structure of the hydrogel of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of synchrotron radiation. A physically crosslinked blend gel, which was prepared by repetitive freezing and thawing of an aqueous solution of PVA and PAA, could be chemically crosslinked by esterfication of PVA with PAA even in the hydrogel state. The chemical crosslinking induced the destruction of physical crosslinks into a folded structure, indicating that the chemical crosslinking proceeds at the sites around the physical crosslinks that contain PVA and PAA in much higher concentration than other portion of the gel. The pH-induced structure changes of the PVA hydrogels, chemically crosslinked with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were investigated by SAXS on the samples of various chemical crosslinking time. The gels were shrunk at pH4, and swollen at pH8. The results of SAXS showed, that the Porod slope changed with chemical crosslinking time from -3.5 to -2.9 at pH4, and from -2.9 to -2.4 at pH8. The results suggest that a folded structure as a structural domain, which is characterized by fractally rough interface, tends to change into the structure that corresponds to percolation cluster, particularly at pH8. The gels immersed in pH8 showed a remarkable structure change accompanying swelling. The results revealed that a conformational change of PAA chains, induced by the pH change, can be explained by the presence of a structural domain in the gel network, where both PVA chains and PAA chains get entangled and partially form a interpenetrating polymer network(IPN).

    Notes: Polyurethane elastomers were investigated as electrically active materials for actuators. Components in hard segment and soft segment in the elastomers were varied. The elastomers with excellent electrostrictive properties were limited to those which had soft segments of polyesters and polylactones. It turned out, that the elastomers, whose soft segments are polyethers are electrically inert under the experimental conditions. The chemical structure of the hard segment seems not to influence to the electrostrictive property. The charging and discharging process was investigated. The charging process was found to proceed simultaneously with the contracting process caused by the electric field, suggesting that the orientation of the soft segment in the elastomer plays critical rolls in the electrostrictive action. In the elastomer, which has a soft polyether segment and was inactive to the electric field, could be actuated very efficiently when the elastomer was swollen with dimethyl sulfoxide. We conclude that the polyurethane elastomer, whose soft segment has chemical bonds with a relatively large dipole moment, can be actuated by the electric field application, and that even the elastomer, whose soft segment is inactive, could be actuated in the presence of a solvent with a large dipole moment. Thus, the concept found with the gel, could be applied to an elastomer, the soft segment of which plays partly the roll of the solvent in the gel.

    Notes: Chitosan and 6-O-glycolchitosan, a water-soluble chitosan derivative, were oxidized by periodate. In the case of chitosan, only degradation products were obtained. With 6-O-glycolchitosan, however, water-soluble amphoteric polyelectrolyte derivatives of chitosan having higher molecular weight were obtained. The oxidized 6-O-glycolchitosan (OX-GC) showed a pH sensitive change of viscosity in aqueous solution. Moreover, the OX-GC hydrogel, cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, showed a pH sensitive swelling behavior. The OX-GC showed biodegradation behavior by lysozyme after acetylation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Fließ- und Bruchverhalten eines durch das gleichzeitige Härten eines ungesättigten Polyesters (UP) und eines wärmehärtbaren Bismaleimidharzes (BMI) erhaltenen quervernetzten Polymernetzwerkes wurde über einen weiten Temperatur- und Beanspruchungsbereich untersucht. Die Fließspannung σy und der Youngsche Elastizitätsmodul E steigen bei Zunahme der Spannungsbeanspruchung bzw. bei Absinken der Temperatur. Zudem steigen bei ansonsten gleichen Testbedingungen σy und E mit zunehmendem BMI-Gehalt im Blend. Andererseits wurde eine Beeinflussung des Bruch-Parameters Kc durch die Gegenwart des BMI nicht beobachtet. Der Fließprozess wurde sowohl mit Hilfe der Theorie von Argon als auch mit der von Bowden untersucht; die daraus abgeleiteten Molekül-Parameter wurden mit der bei der Härtung gebildeten Molekularstruktur in Beziehung gesetzt.
    Notes: The yielding and the fracture behaviour of an intercrosslinked polymer network obtained by the simultaneous curing of an unsaturated polyester (UP) and a thermosetting bismaleimide resin (BMI) was investigated in a wide range of temperatures and testing rates. The yield stress σy and the Young's modulus E increase by increasing the testing rate and decreasing temperature. Moreover, under the same testing conditions, σy and E increased as the BMI content in the blend was enhanced. On the other hand, it was found that the fracture parameter Kc was not affected by the presence of BMI. The yielding process was analyzed using the theories both of Argon and Bowden and the molecular parameters derived there were related to the molecular structure of the network developed upon curing.

    Notes: A series of new fluorinated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole-imide-amide)s containing various ratios of amide/oxadiazole groups in the repeating unit have been prepared by cyclodehydration of the corresponding poly(hydrazide-imide-amide)s resulting from the reaction of diacid dichlorides incorporating both hexafluoroisopropylidene bridges and imide rings with p-aminobenzhydrazide or with mixtures of certain aromatic diamines and p-aminobenzhydrazide or terephthalic dihydrazide. The new polymers are soluble in polar amidic solvents and can be processed into flexible films by casting from solution. Their glass transition temperatures are in the range 254-325°C and they are thermally stable up to 415-450°C.

    Description / Table of Contents: Blockcopoly(ester-ether) mit verschiedenen ionischen Einheiten wie Sulfobetain (S-Betain), Carbobetain (C-Betain) und Ammoniumtosylat wurden hergestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als antistatische Modifikatoren für Polyethylenterephthalat (PET)-Fasern untersucht. Die ionischen Segmente wurden aus N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamin generiert und statistisch mit den Polyester- und Polyoxyethylen(PEO)-Einheiten cokondensiert. Aus den Copolymeren mit S-Betain-Einheiten wurden im Schmelzspinnverfahren dicke Filamente hergestellt und deren elektrischer Widerstand bestimmt. Abhängig von der Zusammensetzung (25-75 Gew.-% PEO, 1-2 mol-% S-Betain) wurden Widerstände zwischen 108 und 1010 Ω cm-1 gemessen. Die drei copolymerartigen Modifikatoren wurden mit PET durch Blendspinnen gemischt. Die so erhaltenen PET-Fasem zeigen nicht nur gute mechanische sondern auch verbesserte antistatische Eigenschaften. Die Fasern aus dem S-Betain enthaltenden Copolymeren weisen dabei die kürzeste Halbwertszeit des Abbaus der elektrostatischen Ladung auf, obwohl der Oberflächenwiderstand dieses Materials in der Größenordnung 1013 Ω cm-2 dem Wert der mit C-Betain und Ammoniumtosylat hergestellten Fasem ähnlich ist. Die PET-Fasern bewahren ihre guten antistatischen Eigenschften auch nach dem Fäben und wiederholtem Waschen, da sowohl die hydrophilen als auch die ionischen Gruppen an den Polyesterketten fixiert sind.
    Notes: Block copoly(ester-ether)s containing different ionic units, i.e., sulfobetaine (S-betaine), carbobetaine (C-betaine), and ammonium tosylate, were prepared and evaluated as antistatic modifiers of PET fiber. The ionic units were readily derived from N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamine and co-condensed randomly with the polyester and poly(oxyethylene) (PEO) units. For the copolymers containing S-betaine units, a thick filament was melt-spun to evaluate their apparent electric resistivity. Depending on the unit compositions (25-75 wt.-% of PEO and 1-2 mol-% of S-betaine), resistivities ranging from 108 to 1010 Ω cm-1 were obtained. Then, the three copolymer-type modifiers were blended with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) by the ordinary blend-spinning technique. The blend PET fibers obtained showed not only good mechanical properties, but also improved antistatic properties. Particularly, the fiber blended with the copolymer containing S-betaine units had the shortest half-life time of leakage of static charge, although the surface area resistivity, being in the order of 1013 Ω cm-2, was similar to that of the fibers blended with the copolymers containing C-betaine and ammonium tosylate units. These blend PET fibers were found to retain good antistatic properties even after dyeing and repeated washings, because both the hydrophilic and ionic groups are immobilized with the polyester chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: For radical copolymerizations of α-methylstyrene (MS) with methacrylonitrile (MAN) and of MS with acrylonitrile (AN) studies were carried out to examine postulations of kinetic models known from literature, in particular the terminal model with chain-length-independent and chain-length-dependent depolymerization steps. The results of investigations were based on measurements of the sequence length distributions from 13C-NMR spectra. Analyses of MS/MAN copolymers with various compositions were carried out. Reaction parameters and depolymerization constants depending on temperature were calculated. The values of enthalpy and entropy of polymerization and the ceiling temperature were computed for MS to ΔH = 26,5 ± 0,5 kJ mol-1, ΔS = 95 ± 5 J mol-1 K-1, Tceiling = 65 ± 1°C. The terminal model with depolymerization steps turned out to be wrong for the accurate description of the polymerization behaviour in case of the tested systems. Results clearly show important penultimate effects. At the point of knowledge, the description of the polymerization behaviour in terms of a penultimate model with depolymerization steps are suggested.
    Notes: Für die radikalischen Copolymerisationen von α-Methylstyrol (MS) mit Methacrylnitril (MAN) sowie MS mit Acrylnitril (AN) wurden Untersuchungen zur Prüfung der in der Literatur postulierten kinetischen Modelle des „sequenzlängenunabhängigen“ bzw. „sequenzlängenabhängigen“ Terminalmodells mit Depolymerisationsschritten durchgeführt. Sie basieren auf Analysen der Sequenzverteilungen aus 13C-NMR-Spektren. Resultate von 13C-NMR-Untersuchungen an MS/MAN-Polymeren variabler Zusammensetzung werden vorgestellt. Reaktionsparameter und Gleichgewichtskonstanten wurden direkt aus den Informationen der 13C-NMR-Spektren für das Terminalmodell mit Depolymerisationsschritten in Abhängigkeit von der Reaktionstemperatur der Polymeren bestimmt. Hieraus konnten die Polymerisationsenthalpie ΔH = 26,5 ± 0,5 kJ mol-1, die Polymerisationsentropie ΔS = 95 ± 5 J mol-1 K-1 sowie die Ceilingtemperatur Tceiling = 65 ± 1°C für MS bestimmt werden. Es wurde nachgewiesen, daß im Rahmen der Terminalnäherung auch mit Berücksichtigung von Depolymerisationseinflüssen keine adäquate Beschreibung des Copolymerisationsverhaltens im Falle der untersuchten Systeme möglich ist. Vielmehr konnten als Ergebnis der Untersuchungen sowohl in Copolymeren von MS mit AN als auch mit MAN signifikante Penultimate-Effekte nachgewiesen werden. Aufbauend auf diesen Ergebnissen wird die Anwendung eines auf einer Penultimate-Näherung basierenden Modells, welches auch das Gleichgewicht in den Wachstumsreaktionen von MS berücksichtigt, zur theoretischen Vorhersage des Copolymerisationsverhaltens vorgeschlagen.

Nach XPS-Untersuchungen wird Cobalt (III) durch den mehrzähnigen Stickstoffliganden des Polytitazans stabilisiert. Bei 25°C beträgt der cis-Cycloocten-Umsatz nach fünf Stunden 95,2%, mit einer Selektivität von 100% für das cis-Cyclohexylenoxid. Der Katalysator Kann mindestens neun Mal ohne Aktivitätsverlust verwendet werden.
    Notes: Magnesium oxide supported polytitazane cobalt (III) complex is demonstrated as an effective catalyst for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene with molecular oxygen at atmospheric pressure in the presence of isobutyraldehyde as the sacrificial reductant. XPS data show that the high-valent cobalt (III) is stabilized by the multidentate nitrogen ligand of polytitazane. The conversion of cis-cyclooctene is as high as 95.2% with 100% selectivity to the cis-cyclooctene oxide at 25°C within 5 h. The catalyst can be used at least nine times without loss of its activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird über die Gleichgewichts-Schmelzpunktsdepression von Polycarbonat aus Bisphenol A (PC) in Mischungen mit Poly-∊-caprolacton (PCL) berichtet. Hierzu wird ein Modell entwickelt, das den gekrümmten Verlauf der gemessenen Hoffman-Weeks-Plots zu erklären vermag. Es berücksichtigt die Konzentrationsinhomogenitäten, die mit fortschreitender Kristallisation an der Kristallwachstumsfront entstehen. Die gelegentlich beobachtete Schmelzpunktsdepression der PCL-Komponente wird diskutiert. Der Flory-Hugginssche Wechselwirkungsparameter wird zu -0,09 berechnet; aus diesem kleinen Wert muß geschlossen werden, daß die Mischungspartner enthalpisch nur schwach wechselwirken. Der merkliche Abfall der Glastemperatur des PC nach Einmischen von PCL bewirkt eine beträchtliche Kristallisation aus der Schmelze; es können PC-Kristallinitätsgrade bis zu 25% erreicht werden.
    Notes: It is reported on the equilibrium melting point depression of polycarbonate from bisphenol A (PC) in its blend with poly-∊-caprolactone (PCL). To this end, a model which explains the bended course of the measured Hoffman-Weeks plots is developed which takes into account the composition changes at the crystal growth front upon progressive crystallization. The occasional melting point depression of the PCL component is discussed. The calculated Flory-Huggins parameter of χ12 ≍ -0.09 indicates only weak enthalpic interactions. The remarkable drop in the glass transition temperature of PC with blending allows PC degrees of crystallinity up to 25% upon crystallization from the melt.

The powdery hydrogels were obtained by precipitation polymerization in acetone and diethyl ether, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide and ethylene dimethacrylate as crosslinking agents. Dependences of water-swellability, particle size, aggregation, specific surface and content of the uncrosslinked water-soluble polymers and low-molecular-weight substances in the hydrogels on the conditions of their synthesis were studied. Suitability of particular powdery hydrogels synthesized for the preparation of silicone rubber-hydrogel composites is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Wirkung von aliphatischem Korrosionsschutzöl auf das Aushärte- und Abbauverhalten eines ölkompatiblen Epoxidharzklebers wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC), Fourier-Transformations-Infrarot-Spektroskopie (FTIR) und Thermogravimetrie (TGA) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der DSC- und FTIR-Messungen deuten darauf hin, daß die Härtungsgeschwindigkeit des untersuchten Epoxid-Systems durch das Vorhandensein des Öls nur wenig beeinflußt wird. Dennoch bestätigt das Absinken der exothermen Härtungskurve, begleitet von einer Verbreiterung des Glasübergangstemperaturbereichs, daß das Öl den Aushärtemechanismus beeinflussen kann und in der Lage ist, die Struktur des gehärteten Harzes zu verändern. Außerdem geht aus den TGA-Messungen hervor, daß die Temperaturbeständigkeit des Harzes sich in Gegenwart des Öls verschlechtert; dies wird auf Veränderungen in der Struktur und im Abbaumechanismus des Epoxid-Systems zurückgeführt.
    Notes: The effect of aliphatic slushing oil on the curing and degradation behavior of an oil-accommodating epoxy adhesive is studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of FTIR and DSC indicate that the curing rate of the tested epoxy system is little affected in the presence of the oil. However, the decrease of the curing exotherm accompanied with a broadening of the glass transition confirms that the oil can affect the curing mechanisms and may change the structure of the cured resin. Additionally, it is evident from the TGA results that the thermal resistance of the resin deteriorates in the presence of the oil, which is attributed to the changes in the structure and the degradation mechanism of the epoxy system.

Reaktionsdauer, Temperatur und das Aluminium/Nickel-Verhältnis wurden auf maximale Aktivität und Selektivität optimiert. Umsätze über 90% konnten erreicht werden. Im Vergleich zu Polybutadienen, die mit anderen Nickel-Phosphin-Systemen hergestellt wurden, zeigten die synthetisierten Polybutadiene höhere cis-1,4-Anteile (〈80%) und eine geringe Bildung von 1,2-Einheiten (2%). Alle Polymeren hatten niedrige mittlere Molekulargewichte (Mw 〉 11 800).
    Notes: The new dicationic nickel complex [dppfNi(MeCN)4][BF4]2 (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) in the presence of diethylaluminium chloride (AIEt2CI) exhibited high activity on the 1,3-butadiene polymerization. Reaction time, temperature and aluminium/nickel molar ratio were optimized in order to achieve maximum activity and selectivity. Conversions higher than 90% were obtained in contrast to other nickel-based systems using phosphine ligands, the resulting polybutadiene showed high cis-1,4 (〈80%) content and only small amount of 1,2-units (2%). All polymers presented low molecular weights (Mw 〉 11 800).

    Description / Table of Contents: Bei der Bestrahlung von Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) mit Röntgensynchrotronstrahlung ändert sich die chemische Struktur des Polymeren. Die Ergebnisse der analytischen Untersuchungen dieser Arbeit weisen darauf hin, daß neben einem Abbau der Polymerketten auch einzelne Esterseitengruppen abgespalten werden. Durch die Bestrahlung entstehende Langkettenverzweigungen wurden bei PMMA nicht gefunden. Dadurch unterscheiden sich die physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften des bestrahlten Polymeren von denen des unbestrahlten.
    Notes: The irradiation of poly(methyl methacrylate) changes the chemical constitution of the polymer. In addition to a decrease in molar mass further radiation-induced radical reactions cause changes in the chemical constitution of the polymer. Analysis of the reaction products shows that formation of long-chain branching can be excluded. Along with degradation of the chain lengths, ester groups in the side chains are attacked. The result is a modified polymer with a physical and chemical behaviour different from that of the starting polymer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Zähigkeit von Polyarylaten wurde durch den Einbau von 4,4′-Thiodiphenol und Bisphenol A, die in der wäßrigen Phase einer Grenzflächenpolykondensation vorgelegt wurden, erhöht. Die modifizierten Polyarylate besitzen leicht erniedrigte Zugfestigkeiten und Zugmoduli, aber aufgrund der Flexibilität der eingebauten Segmente stark erhöhte Izod-Schlagzähigkeiten. Darüber hinaus bleiben die guten thermischen Eigenschaften der Polyarylate nach der Modifizierung erhalten, so daß die hergestellten Materialien auch für Anwendungen mit sehr hohen Anforderungen an die thermische Belastbarkeit geeignet sind.
    Notes: The toughness of polyarylates was improved by incorporation of 4,4′-thiodiphenol and bisphenol A, being introduced in the aqueous phase of an interfacial polycondensation reaction. The modified polyarylates possessed slightly lower tensile strength and modulus but much higher Izod impact strength due to the flexibility of the incorporated segments. In addition, the superb thermal properties typical for polyarylates were reserved in the modified polyarylate, thus assuring its broad applicability for those applications where extremely stringent criteria of thermal characteristics are required.

Copolymers used for this study are tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-4-en-8-yl acrylate/ethyl acrylate copolymers of variable composition (100/0, 40/60, 20/80, 0/100) synthesized in solution by a free-radical process. The irradiations were carried out at large wavelengths (λ ≥ 310 nm). Systems of benzophenone/benzoyl peroxide led to really fast crosslinking kinetics for 10 min of irradiation.

    Notes: The critical conditions in which the classical Flory-Stockmayer gelation theory (F-S theory) is applicable to monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations were pursued in detail. The resulting prepolymers or precursors of ideal crosslinked-polymers were characterized as standard polymers for the discussion of network formation in free-radical monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations. Methyl methacrylate was copolymerized with a small amount of ethylene dimethacrylate, butylene dimethacrylate or nonapropyleneglycol dimethacrylate in the presence of lauryl mercaptan, a chain transfer agent to reduce the occurrence of a thermodynamic excluded volume effect and intramolecular crosslinking as the primary and secondary factors, respectively, for the greatly delayed gelation in the free-radical monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations and, moreover, to keep the primary chain length constant by inhibiting a gel effect. The ratio of the actual gel point to the theoretical one reached 1.1, supporting the validity of F-S theory. The resulting prepolymers were subjected to SEC-MALLS analysis to determine the molecular weights, the molecular-weight distributions and the radii of gyration; the correlations of molecular weight vs. elution volume and radius of gyration vs. molecular weight were useful for the characterization of the precursors of ideal network-polymers.

In N,N-Dimethylformamid wird vorwiegend Chlordeoxypullulan gebildet, während in Pyridin bei niedrigen Temperaturen der Mesylester das Hauptprodukt ist. In N,N-Dimethylacetamide entstehen Chlordeoxy und Mesylgruppen im Verhältnis 2:1. Durch die Einführung der Chlordeoxy- bzw. Mesylgruppen werden die Mikropartikel hydrophob.
    Notes: The reaction of mesyl chloride with crosslinked pullulan microparticles was investigated, in particular the influence of the reaction conditions on the ratio between the two possible products chlorodeoxy or O-mesyl pullulan. It was found that in N,N-dimethylformamide the preponderent reaction product is chlorodeoxy pullulan, while in pyridine at low temperatures the main product is the mesyl ester of pullulan. In N,N-dimethylacetamide, the substituent groups are both chlorodeoxy and mesyl ones, in about 2:1 ratio. By the introduction of either chlorodeoxy or mesyl groups, the pullulan-crosslinked microparticles become hydrophobic.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(4-hydroxybutylacrylat) poly(4-HBA) wurde aus wäßrigem Medium mit Ammoniumpersulfat als Initiator auf Seide (bombyx mori) aufgepfropft. Die Gewichtszunahme stieg proportional mit der Monomerkonzentration im Pfropfsystem. Der Pfropfgrad lag im Bereich von 45 bis 65%. Die Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme nahm bei einer Gewichtszunahme von 〉10% stark ab. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Seidenfasern zeigten mit steigender Gewichtszunahme keine wesentliche Änderung. Doppelbrechung und isotroper Brechungsindex nahmen bis zu einer Gewichtszunahme von 35% ab und blieben dann unverändert. Röntgenbeugungsdiagramme zeigten, daß die kristalline Struktur durch die Pfropfbehandlung nicht modifiziert wird. Kalorimetrische (DSC), thermomechanische (TMA) und thermogravimetrische (TG) Analysen ergaben, daß das thermische Verhalten der poly(4-HBA)-gepfropften Seidenfasern nur leicht verändert wird. Die zur Bestimmung des dynamisch-mechanischen Verhaltens der Seidenfasern durchgeführten DMA-Messungen zeigten eine Verschiebung der E′- und E″-Modulspitzen zu niedrigeren Temperaturen mit steigender Gewichtszunahme. Ablagerungen auf der Faseroberfläche der bei einem hohen Monomer/Seide-Verhältnis (〉50%) gepfropften Seide wurden mit Rasterelektronenmikroskopie nachgewiesen.
    Notes: Poly(4-hydroxybutyl acrylate) poly(4-HBA) was graft-copolymerized onto silk fibres (bombyx mori) in aqueous medium with ammonium persulfate as initiator. The weight gain increased with increasing concentration of monomer in the grafting system. The grafting efficiency ranged from 45 to 65%. Equilibrium moisture regain decreased sharply beyond 10% weight gain. The tensile properties of the silk fibres did not change significantly as a function of the increasing weight gain. Birefringence and isotropic refractive index decreased until 35% weight gain and then remained unchanged. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the crystalline structure was not affected by grafting. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical (TMA), and thermogravimetric (TG) measurements showed that poly(4-HBA)-grafted silk fibres underwent only slight changes in the thermal behaviour. The dynamic mechanical measurements (DMA) exhibited a downward shift of both the storage (E′) and loss modulus peak (E″) with increasing weight gain. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations showed the presence of some deposits adhering to the surface of silk fibres grafted at high monomer/silk ratio (〉50%).

    Notes: The IR data for the R1 CO-O-CHR2-CO-NHR3 derivatives are interpreted in terms of a H…π interaction involving the N—H bond and the π orbitals of the ester function and giving rise to a high ν(C=O) frequency and a low ν frequency. The resulting molecular conformation corresponds to the angular values φ # -90°, ψ # 0°. The H…π interaction in MeCO-L-Lac-NHMe is highly destabilized by water and aprotic solvents but is retained in methanol. Considering the high ν(C=O) ester or amide frequency of the middle function in β-folded depsipeptide or peptide sequences, it may be supposed that the residue indexed i + 2 in β turns experiences a H…π interaction which has a stabilizing effect on β turns. Some examples concerning valinomycin and some model compounds are discussed.

    Notes: The difference between the theories of Manning, on the one hand, and of Odijk and Skolnick and Fixman, on the other, for the polyelectrolyte contribution to the persistence length of DNA is shown to arise entirely from a subtle geometrical error in the theory of Manning. The corrected theory of Manning predicts a negligible polyelectrolyte contribution in 1.0M NaCl and only 33 Å in 0.01M NaCl, thus giving a change in total persistence length by a factor of only 1.07 over that range, in agreement with Odijk. Pertinent data in the literature indicate that the persistence length must change by a factor of ≤ 1.6 between 1.0 and 0.01M NaCl, and very likely by less than a factor of 1.4. Evidently, the intrinsic rigidity of the uncharged double-strand filament dominates the bending rigidity at NaCl concentrations above 0.01M.

    Notes: The crystal structures of L-3,4-dehydroproline, t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, and acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide have been determined. L-3,4-Dehydroproline is orthorhombic with a = 16.756, b = 5.870, c = 5.275 Å, and Z = 4; t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is orthorhombic with a = 6.448, b = 8.602, c = 21.710 Å, and Z = 4; acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is monoclinic with a = 4.788, b = 10.880, c = 7.785 Å, β = 105.25°, and Z = 2. The final R value for the L-3,4-dehydroproline is 0.046 based on 529 reflections; for t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.050 based on 792 reflections; and for acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.058 based on 632 reflections. The structures clearly establish that the free amino acid exists in the zwitterionic form in the crystalline state. The molecular conformations of the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives consist of two planes: one involving the primary amide and the other the remaining atoms of the molecule. The acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide contains a tertiary amide bond in the cis conformation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a cis bond in an acetyl derivative of an amino acid or peptide. At variance with the previously reported proline amides, which present φ and ψ values corresponding to those of a right-handed α-helical conformation (conformation A), the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives both have φ and ψ values corresponding to a collagenlike conformation (conformation F).

    Notes: The structure of thermally denatured Type I collagen has been studied using laser light scattering. The results indicate that the diffusion coefficients of α-chains and β- and γ-components are 1.550 ± 0.08 × 10-7, 1.000 ± 0.05 × 10-7, and 0.835 ± 0.04 × 10-7 cm2/sec, respectively, at temperatures between 20 and 40°C. It is concluded from diffusion data that these species have hydrodynamic radii of about 13.8 nm (α-chain), 21.5 nm (β-component), and 25.7 nm (γ-component), consistent with previous studies of thermal denaturation by light scattering. It is also concluded, based on volume calculations, that a large volume increase occurs when the triple helix unfolds. Homodyne correlation functions for two component mixtures of α-chains and β-and γ-components appeared to decay exponentially. In all but one case discussed the correlation function could be fitted with a single component having a translational diffusion coefficient which was an intensity weighted average of the diffusion coefficient of each component present.

    Notes: Circular dichroic spectra and oscillator strengths of the π-π transition near 190 nm are calculated for helical (Gly)6 and (Ala)6 at 30° intervals of the backbone torsion angles (φ,ψ) over the range -180° ≤ φ ≤ -60°, -60° ≤ ψ ≤ 180°, using the partially dispersive normal mode treatment of the dipole interaction model. Polarizabilities of atoms and the NC′O group are those determined semiempirically in previous studies. Calculations for (Ala)6 at (φ,ψ) angles corresponding to the α-helix, the poly(Pro) II helix, a collagen single helix, a poly-(MeAla) helix, and single β-helices are found to agree well with most of the available experimental data.

    Notes: The interaction of the fluorinated antimalarial drug fluoroquine [7-fluoro-4-(diethyl-amino-1-methylbutylamino)quinoline] with DNA, tRNA, and poly(A) has been investigated by optical absorption, fluorescence, and 19F-nmr chemical-shift and relaxation methods. Optical absorption and fluorescence experiments indicate that fluoroquine binds to nucleic acids in a similar manner to that of its well-known analog chloroquine. At low drug-to-base pair ratios, binding of both drugs appears to be random. Fluoroquine and chloroquine also elevate the melting temperature (Tm) of DNA to a comparable extent. Binding of fluoroquine to DNA, tRNA, or poly(A) results in a downfield shift of about 1.5 ppm for the 19F-nmr resonance. The chemical shift of free fluoroquine depends on the isotopic composition of the solvent (D2O vs H2O). The solvent isotope shift is virtually eliminated by fluoroquine binding to any one of the nucleic acids. 19F-nmr relaxation experiments were carried out to measure the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), 19F{1H} nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), off-resonance intensity ratio (R), off-resonance rotating-frame spin-lattice relaxation time (T1ρoff), and linewidth for fluoroquine in the nucleic acid complexes. By accounting for intramolecular proton-fluorine dipolar and chemical-shift anisotropy contributions to the fluorine relaxation, all of the relaxation parameters for the fluoroquine-DNA complex can be well described by a motional model incorporating long-range DNA bending on the order of a microsecond and an internal motion of the drug on the order of a nanosecond. Selective NOE experiments indicate that the fluorine in the drug is near the ribose protons in the RNA complexes, but not in the DNA complex. Details of the binding evidently differ for the two types of nucleic acids. This study provides the foundation for an investigation of fluoroquine in intact cells.

    Notes: In carbonate buffer at pH 10.5, a transparent solution of poly(L-lysine HBr) was obtained up to fairly high concentration of 3 g/dl at room temperature. The hydrodynamic behavior of the solution has been studied by sedimentation analyses and viscosity measurements. A dimer form for high concentrations and a monomer form for low concentrations were inferred. The dimer and monomer forms were assigned to a β-structure and α-helix, respectively, based on the CD and optical rotary dispersion spectra. Using CD spectroscopy, a reversible transition between α-helix and β-structure was observed as a function of either poly(L-lysine HBr) concentration or temperature. An aggregated form which was assigned to the antiparallel pleated sheet appeared at 50°C on the basis of its ir spectrum.

    Notes: Observations of induced circular dichroism (CD) bands in chloroform solution demonstrate the formation of specific, asymmetric complexes of the aromatic ligands 2-pyridone and 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid with cyclic dipeptides of the general formula cyclo(L-Pro-X). The induced CD changes sign with the configuration of X due to subtle influences of the side chain on the geometry of the complex. Computations of interaction energies suggest that a plausible model for the complex of an aromatic ligand with the -CONH- of the cis secondary amide is a nearly planar arrangement of six heavy atoms in a ring containing two hydrogen bonds. The observed CD is matched by that computed for a tilt of the aromatic ligand toward the side chain of X. Binding constants were determined from the induced CD as a function of ligand concentration. For dichlorobenzoic acid these are about 450m-1 for the secondary amide and 50m-1 for the tertiary amide. For pyridone the binding constant is about 45m-1 for either the secondary or tertiary amide. For comparison self-dimerization constants determined by vapor-pressure osmometry in chloroform solution at 25°C are 870, 350, 50, and 20m-1 for pyridone, benzoic acid, dichlorobenzoic acid, and cyclo(L-Pro-Gly), respectively.

    Notes: Proton and phosphorus nmr have been used to investigate the double-helical structures of polyriboadenylic acid [poly(A)] formed in acidic solutions (pH 〈 6). The results obtained at low pH (∼4.5) are consistent with the model for the acid poly(A) double helix proposed by Rich [Rich, A., Davies, D. R., Crick, F. H. C. & Watson, J. D. (1961) J. Mol. Biol. 3, 71-86]. Other models that have been proposed are inconsistent with the nmr data. The nmr measurements have also been used to examine the conformation of poly(A) helix in the half-protonated state. Although the base-stacking arrangement of this state is similar to that observed in the more extensively protonated low-pH state, the phosphate backbone conformation is different from that found in either the neutral or low-pH structures.

    Notes: We studied the effects of some organic cosolvents (monohydric alcohols and amides) on the reaction of hemoglobin with oxygen. We present evidence showing that our data can be analyzed within the framework of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model and that the main effect of cosolvents is to alter the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium of hemoglobin, without significantly affecting the intrinsic oxygen dissociation constants. Following a previously described phenomenological approach, the overall effects have been separated into effects related to the variation of the bulk dielectric constant of the solvent and effects not related to the variation of this constant.

    Notes: The spectroscopic properties (uv, CD, nmr) of histidine, glycylhistidine, histidylglycine, glycylhistidylglycine have been investigated in water and methanol in the temperature range 200-320 K in order to obtain information about their conformational equilibria. This analysis has been carried out for the different ionic forms of the compounds, in order to evaluate the influence of the ionization state of the carboxyl, histidyl, and amino groups on the rotamer distribution of the histidyl side chain (as evaluated from proton nmr analysis) and on the overall molecule (as judged from CD spectra). On the basis of certain approximations and from the temperature dependence of the proton nmr resonance, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH° and ΔS°) characterizing the conformational equilibrium of the hystidyl side chain have been evaluated for the different structures and ionization states. Relatively large entropy differences between the rotamers are obtained in some cases. The data of the sidechain rotamer population, as determined by nmr, have been analytically correlated with the CD data, and in the case of hystidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, first-approximation values for the ellipticity of the single conformers have been evaluated. Finally, in the example of glycylhistidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, it is shown how the data obtained from the different experimental approaches (nmr and CD), as well as from theoretical energy calculations, converge to characterize the most stable conformation in solution.

    Notes: Photon-correlation spectroscopy is a powerful technique for measuring the translational diffusion coefficient of particles and macromolecules in solution. In the study described here, this technique was used to analyze a specific dimerization process involving the association of two tRNA molecules through complementary anticodons. The tRNAs used in the analysis were E. coli tRNA2Glu and yeast tRNAPhe. The experimental data on the concentration dependence of the observed diffusion constants are shown to agree well with theoretical predictions. From these data, the equilibrium constant of the association reaction was determined for dimers formed over a wide range of temperatures and in several different solution conditions. In solutions of 0.1M ionic strength at 22°C, the equilibrium constants vary from 1 × 105M-1 in the absence of magnesium to 1.5 × 106M-1 in 10 mM Mg+2. The enthalpy and entropy changes for dimer formation in the absence and presence, 5 and 10 mM, of magnesium have been obtained from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant. The results show that both ΔH and ΔS contribute to the free energy of binding and that their relative contributions are similar for each solution condition evaluated.

    Notes: A conformational quantum-mechanical study of (Gly-Phe-Pro) and (Gly-Pro-Phe) repeating tripeptide sequences has been carried out with the PCILO method. Using appropriate molecules as a model, we investigated the conformational possibilities of each in situ residue. Computations have been done taking into account the two typical pyrrolidine ring puckering and the most favorable orientations of the phenylalanyl side chain. Major conclusions drawn from this study are that the phenylalanyl can be accommodated at both second and third positions in the sequence without preventing the formation of triple-helix conformation. However, the analogy observed between the rotational possibilities around the second residue of Gly-Pro-Pro and Gly-Phe-Pro indicates that phenylalanyl in the second position favors the triple-helix formation.

    Notes: The structure of the nucleosome core particle in solution has been studied by neutron scattering using the full-contrast variation technique, which reduces the experimental spectra to three fundamental scatter functions holding information on shape and structure. Systematic calculations of the fundamental scatter functions expected from proposed core-particle models have been compared with the observed functions and show that the neutron-scattering criteria severely restrict the number of models which can be valid for the structure in solution. The best model for the core particle in solution has a hydrophobic histone core about which 1.7 ± 0.1 turns of DNA are wrapped at a pitch between 3.0 and 3.5 nm. This core contains most of the histone and has an average thickness of 4 nm and diameter 6.4-7.5 nm. While solution scattering is not able to specify uniquely the actual shape of the core to high resolution, all models which are possible for the shape of the core to a resolution justified by the data have been considered. It is clear that cylindrical or wedge shapes compatible with the above dimensions are valid structures. A hole probably penetrates the histone core, but the data do not allow a diameter greater than 1 nm. Available evidence suggests that about a quarter of the total histone is outside the core.

    Notes: The relationship between published vicinal proton-proton coupling constants and the pseudorotation properties of the pyrrolidine ring in L-proline, 4-hydroxy-L-proline, 4-fluoro-L-proline, and several linear and cyclic model proline peptides is investigated. Compared to earlier studies, several important improvements are incorporated: (1) a new empirical generalization of the classical Karplus equation is utilized, which allows a valid correction for the effects of electronegativity and orientation of substitutents on 3JHH; (2) an empirical correlation between proton-proton torsion angles and the pseudorotational parameters P and τm is derived; and (3) the best fit of the conformational parameters to the experimental coupling constants is obtained by means of a computerized iterative least-squares procedure. Two pseudorotation ranges were considered, classified as type N (χ2 positive sign) and type S (χ2 negative sign). The conformational equilibrium is fully described in terms of four geometrical parameters (PN, τN, PS, τS) and the equilibrium constant K. The present results indicate that, in general, the geometrical properties found in x-ray studies of proline and hydroxyproline residues are well preserved in solution. Several novel features are encountered, however. It is demonstrated that the proline ring occurs in a practically 1:1 conformational equilibrium between well-defined N- and S-type forms. Introduction of an amide group at the C-terminal end has no observable effect on this equilibrium, but the formation of a peptide bond at the imino nitrogen site results in a pronounced, but not exclusive, preference for an S-type form which is roughly 1.1 kcal/mol more stable than its N-type counterpart. The hydroxyproline ring system in neutral or acidic medium displays a pure N-type state, but N-acetylation results in the appearance of a minor (S-type) conformation. Cyclic proline dipeptides similarly exist in a biased conformational equilibrium. The major form (77-88%) corresponds to the N-type conformer observed in the solid state; the minor S-form has not been observed before. In contrast, cyclic hydroxyproline dipeptides display complete conformational purity. Ranges of endocyclic torsion angles deduced for the various classes of pyrrolidine derivatives in solution are presented. Each torsion appears confined to a surprisingly narrow range, comprising about 4°-8° in most cases. In all, the proline ring is far less “floppy” than hitherto assumed.

    Notes: Measurement of the equilibrium distribution of persistence length fragments of DNA in high concentration in the ultracentrifuge shows that the reduced osmotic pressure rises much faster than linearly. From analysis of the data in terms of the Zimm cluster integral we infer that the net interactions between helices are purely repulsive at all distances. A theoretical equation of state derived from scaled particle theory with one adjustable parameter is in excellent agreement with the experimental data so long as the salt concentration is not excessively low. The parameter represents the hard-core radius in a simplified approximation to the potential function for the electrostatic repulsion between helices. Its value depends on the salt concentration, and it shrinks at high salt to a radius in close agreement with direct structural estimates. At a particular value of the osmotic pressure that is only slightly salt dependent, the solution undergoes a reversible transition to a denser, turbid, optically anisotropic phase. The relation between DNA volume fraction, including the electrostatic radius, at the transition point and the effective asymmetry of the molecules as a function of salt is in approximate correspondence with various theoretical treatments. However, the experimental function extrapolates to the correct limit for spherical particles. The work needed to bring DNA to a high concentration is estimated. The results suggest that the phase transition is first order.

    Quantitative test of Record's theory for proton-induced lowering of DNA melting temperature (1981)

    Notes: This report presents a quantitative test of the ability of the counterion condensation theory to describe the proton-induced lowering of DNA melting temperature. From a general approach of Record et al. [Record, M. T., Anderson, C. F. & Lohman, T. H. (1978) Q. Rev. Biophys. 11, 103-178], we have obtained an expression that may be computer-fitted to the experimental data by numerical minimization of χ2. To do this, in addition to the assumptions made by Record et al., it was necessary to suppose that the interchange between protons and sodium is independent of pH and, due to the absence of data, take the enthalpies of protonation as thermally independent over the experimental temperature range. The dependences of the enthalpy of denaturation at neutral pH on sodium concentration and on G + C content were taken from literature. In the fitting process we have used 250 melting temperatures obtained at different pH and sodium concentrations for various natural DNAs. The theoretical expression gives a good quantitative description of the G + C and sodium concentration influences on the phenomenon but is only qualitative with respect to the dependence of dT/d log[Na+] on the pH. The adjusted pK values for the bases in denatured DNA agree with those for isolated deoxynucleosides. Interchange between sodium and protons is found to be less than 1:1. Calculated protonation enthalpies are ill-defined because of their low numerical influence. In short, it appears that the theory gives a good description of most of the aspects of the phenomenon even if it has some shortcomings, perhaps due to the great number of assumptions.

    Notes: We studied the kinetics of replacement of O2 by CO in hemoglobin in the presence and absence of organic cosolvents (methanol, ethanol, iso-propanol, n-propanol, formamide, acetamide, N-methyl-formamide) and at 10 and 25°C. Quantitative analysis of the results indicates that these cosolvents do not affect the intrinsic binding constants of ligands to the heme when hemoglobin is in the R conformation. The present results confirm the previously reported suggestion that the effects of the above cosolvents on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin are related to effects on the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium.

    Notes: Preparations have been made of acid-soluble collagens whose telopeptides have suffered different levels of proteolytic attack. The collagens with more intact telopeptides form fibrils more rapidly than those with degraded telopeptides. In addition, we have shown that a high molecular weight aggregate rich in the carboxyterminal CNBr peptide, α1CB6, can be found in cyanogen bromide digests of fibrils formed from intact collagen. A similar aggregate is found in CNBr digests of native tendons. The aggregate formed in fibrils assembled in vitro can be stabilized by reduction, and its generation is strongly dependent on the presence of intact telopeptides. The latter point is the most objective evidence that to reproduce the characteristics of native fibrils in vitro, the collagen telopeptides must be preserved from proteolysis.

    Notes: We present an alternative to the common lattice model for nonspecific DNA-protein interactions by using ligands that translate freely along the polynucleotide instead of binding to distinct lattice sites along the polynucleotide chain. The general model we present corresponds to a one-dimensional continuum gas and is referred to as the “continuum model” to distinguish it from the general lattice model. Explicit expressions are obtained for the binding isotherm equation for two version of the continuum model, including the effects of binding-site exclusion and attractions between bound ligands. Theoretical results are compared to those obtained from the McGhee-von Hippel (1974) analysis of the lattice model with cooperative interactions between ligands occupying more than one lattice site. Practical applications of the continuum model are illustrated by analyzing (i) the noncooperative binding to single-stranded DNA by RNase (Jensen and von Hippel, 1976), and (ii) the highly cooperative binding to poly(rA) by a proteolyzed fragment of the gene 32 protein of phage T4 (Lonberg et al., 1981).

    Notes: The structure of water and its interaction energy with a fragment of B-DNA composed of 12 base pairs and of the corresponding 24 sugar and 22 phosphate units and Na+ ions (one at each phosphate group) are analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. The sample of water molecules, at the simulated temperature of 300 K, is composed of 447 water molecules. The results are discussed either in terms of statistical analyses over the 2,000,000 simulated conformations (after equilibration) or with reference to an “average configuration.” Comparison is made to a simulation previously presented for the same system but without counterions. Isotherm at different relative humidity, hydration, and reactivity scales for different sites, the hydration number at each site, the structure of intraphosphate and interphosphate hydrogen-bonded filaments of water are reported and discussed. The stabilization of the B-conformation induced by the solvent with counterion (“ion-induced compression effect”) is analyzed on the base of the above findings. A preliminary model to predict conformational transition in DNA is presented. The analyses reported are very detailed to allow refined interpretations of spectroscopic (infrared, Raman, and nmr) and scattering (x-ray and neutron beam) data on DNA insolution.

    Notes: The conformational response of calf thymus DNA to solvent conditions altered by varying amounts of ethanol and NaCl has been monitored by circular dichroism (CD). These measurements, which extend over a much greater range of conditions than previously examined, reveal (above critical concentrations of ethanol and salt) a condensed form of the macro-molecule with unusually large positive ellipticity in the 250-300-nm region [the Ψ(+) state]. Mere increase in NaCl concentration at constant 35% (v/v) concentration of ethanol suffices to convert such Ψ(+) samples - via a series of intermediate forms with CD spectra resembling those of A-DNA, then B-DNA - into Ψ(-) states having anomalously large negative ellipticity similar to the well-known Ψ(-) forms produced by above-critical concentrations of poly-(ethylene oxide) and salt. These ethanol/salt-induced transitions are all completely reversible and can occur without formation of any visible precipitates. We suggest that they represent predominantly tertiary structural changes of B-form DNA molecules analogous to the changes which occur in several other systems where Ψ(+) ⇌ Ψ(-) interconversion has been reported. A “skein-of-yarn” model for the condensed tertiary (and quaternary, i.e., aggregated) state of the DNA affords one possible explanation for the inversions of ellipticity in all these cases. Such a model accords well with the accepted description of cholesteric liquid crystals.

    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.

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: 1H-Nmr was used to measure the rate of cis-trans interconversion of X-Pro bonds in linear and cyclic oligopeptides. k(cis → trans) = 2.5 × 10-3 s-1 at 25°C was found for the zwitterionic form of H-Ala-Pro-OH, in good agreement with earlier measurements. Replacement of Ala by Phe, Tyr, or Trp resulted in a 10-fold slower interconversion rate, whereas after substitution of Ala by His or Glu, the rate decreased only slightly. Independent of the residues X, the interconversion rate was increased by a factor of ca. 20 when the peptide chain was elongated by addition of Ala to the C-terminal Pro. An additional increase by a factor of 6 was observed when going from the protected linear peptide CF3CO-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ala-OCH3 to the closely related cyclic compound c[-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Ala-]. These data are evaluated with regard to their possible use in future studies on the role of X-Pro cis-trans isomerization in the kinetics of protein folding.

    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.

    Influence of surfactants on the conformation of β-lactoglobulin B using circular dichroismPresented in part at the 1981 Joint Meeting of the Central and Great Lakes ACS Regions of the American Chemical Society, Dayton, Ohio, May 20-22, 1981. (1982)

    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.

    Cyclodextrin-adamantanecarboxylate inclusion complexes: A model system for the hydrophobic effect (1982)

    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.

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.
