    Description / Table of Contents: Die Adsorption von Benzol, Toluol und p-Xylol (BTX) aus wäßrigen Lösungen mittels hochvernetzter kationischer Stärke mit tertiären Amingruppen wurde untersucht. Der endotherme Adsorptionsvorgang ist vom Anfangs-pH-Wert und der Anfangskonzentration abhängig und kann mit einer Langmuir-Isotherme beschrieben werden.Die Adsorptionswärme (Δ) bei pH 4 beträgt für Benzol, Toluol und Xylol 29,45 kJ mol-1, 34,41 kJ mol-1 bzw. 35,58 kJ mol-1, bei pH 10 30,17 kJ mol-1, 35.56 kJ mol-1 bzw. 39,39 kJ mol-1. Die adsorbierte Menge nimmt in der Reihenfolge Benzol 〉 Toluol 〉 Xylol ab.
    Notes: The removal of benzene, toluene and p-xylene (BTX) compounds from aqueous solutions with highly crosslinked cationic starch containing tertiary amine groups was investigated. The adsorption process has found to be initial pH- and initial concentration-dependent, endothermic, and follows the Langmuir isothermal adsorption.The heats of adsorption (ΔH) at initial pH = 4 of benzene, toluene and p-xylene compounds are 29.45 kJ mol-1, 34.41 kJ mol-1, and 35.58 kJ mol-1, respectively, those at initial pH = 10 are 30.17 kJ mol-1, 35.56 kJ mol-1, and 39.39 kJ mol-1, respectively. The order of the amount of adsorbed BTX compounds on the adsorbent is benzene 〉 toluene 〉 p-xylene.

    Description / Table of Contents: Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-Komplexverbindungen von Polymethacrylsäure (PMAA) und Kresolnovolaken, die als Precursoren für Hochtemperatursupraleiter (HTSL) eingesetzt werden, sowie deren Cu-Komplexsalze wurden ESR-spektroskopisch und thermogravimetrisch untersucht. In den PMAA-Proben wurden drei verschiedene Cu2+-Spezies nachgewiesen: i) Cu2+-Paare, ii) isolierte Cu2+-Ionen und iii) Cu2+-Cluster. Bei niedrigem Cu-Gehalt der Proben bilden die Cu2+-Paar-Bindungen den Hauptanteil, bei hohem Cu-Gehalt überwiegen die Clusterbindungen. In den Novolakproben wurden nur isolierte Cu2+-Ionen und Cu2+-Cluster nachgewiesen. Die Einführung der Cu-Ionen erniedrigt die thermische Stabilität der Polymeren, der thermische Abbau erfolgt stufenweise. In den PMAA-Proben wird die erste Abbaustufe bei ≈ 220°C durch die Cu2+-Paar-Komplexe verursacht.
    Notes: Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu complexes of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and cresol novolac, which are precursors for high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) and Cu complexes of those polymers were investigated by ESR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. In the PMAA samples three different kinds of Cu2+ species were detected: i) Cu2+ pairs, ii) isolated Cu2+ ions and iii) Cu2+ clusters. While Cu2+ pairs are the main species at low Cu concentrations, clusters become dominant at high Cu contents. In the novolac samples Cu2+ was only detected in isolated sites and clusters. The introduction of Cu ions lowered the thermal stability of the polymers and led to a stepwise decomposition. In the PMAA samples the first decomposition step at ≈ 220°C is caused by the Cu2+ pair complexes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Neodymchlorid-2-ethylhexanolate mit der allgemeinen Formel NdCl3 · nL wurden durch eine Liganden-Austauschreaktion zwischen Neodymchloridisopropanolat (I) und 2-Ethylhexanol (EH) hergestellt. Die Hexanolate NdCl3 · 1,5 EH (II) und NdCl3 · 2,5 EH (III) wurden durch Elementaranalyse und Gravimetrie charakterisiert. Die katalytische Aktivität der Hexanolate bei der Homopolymerisation von 1,3-Butadien in Gegenwart von Triethylaluminium wurde untersucht. Die Verbindung III zeigte eine höhere Aktivität als die Verbindung II. Höhere Katalysator- und Cokatalysatorkonzentrationen sowie eine höhere Temperatur steigerten den Umsatz, wogegen die Viskosität der Produkte abnahm. Mit zunehmender Reaktionszeit erhöhten sich sowohl der Umsatz als auch die Viskosität. Die cis-1,4-Konformation wurde durch die Variation von Temperatur und Cokatalysatorkonzentration beeinflußt. Der gesamte Anteil der cis-1,4-Stuktur lag jedoch in allen Fällen über 99%, während die Produkte nur einen sehr geringen Vinyl-Anteil von 〈1% enthielten. Die Zugabe einer elektronenspendenden Verbindung verringerte den cis- 1,4-Gehalt aber auf 87%.
    Notes: Neodymium chloride 2-ethylhexanolates of the general formula NdCl3 · nL were prepared by ligand exchange reaction between neodymium chloride ispropanolate (I) and 2-ethylhexanol (EH). These hexanolates, NdCl3 · 1.5 EH (II) and NdCl3 · 2.5 EH (III), were characterized by elemental analysis and gravimetry. The catalytic activity of these hexanolates in combination with triethyl aluminium in the homopolymerization of 1,3-butadiene was studied, and the activity was found to be higher with III than II. The conversions increased with increasing the catalyst and co-catalyst concentrations and the temperature, whereas the intrinsic viscosity decreased. The conversions and the intrinsic viscosity decreased. The conversions and the intrinsic viscosity increased with reaction time. The cis-1,4 structure was influenced by variation in temperature and co-catalyst concentration, however, the total cis-1,4 structure was always more than 99% with very low vinyl content (〉1%). Addition of an external electron donor decreased the cis-1,4 content to 87%.

    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.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Reaktion von Mesylchlorid mit vernetzten Pullulan-Mikropartikeln wurde untersucht, insbesondere der Einfluß der Reaktionsbedingungen auf das Produktverhältnis Chlordeoxy-/O-Mesylpullulan. 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%).

Der Einfluß verschiedener Lösungsmethoden des rekristallisierten MgCl2-Alkohol-Adduktes auf die morphologischen Charakteristika der Katalysatoren wurde untersucht. Die Lösungsmethode beeinflußt die Eigenschaften der Katalysatoren beträchtlich. Die dargestellten Katalysatoren wiesen unterschiedliche Ti/Mg-Verhältnisse auf, sowohl was die Oberfläche als auch die gesamten Katalysator-Partikel betrifft. Betrachtet man die Ti-Verteilung und Aktivitätsprofile, dann erweisen sich nicht nur die Polymerisationsbedingungen, sondern auch die Ti-Verteilung auf dem Katalysator als wichtige Faktoren, welche die Dichte der Polymeren beeinflussen.
    Notes: The MgCl2 supports for an ethylene polymerization catalyst were prepared by the recrystallization method using methanol as a solvent. The effects of different desolvation methods of the recrystallized MgCl2-alcohol adduct on the morphological characteristics of the catalysts were examined. The desolvation method greatly affects the characteristics of the catalyst. The prepared catalysts had different Ti/Mg ratios with respect to both surface content and entire catalyst particles. Considering Ti distribution and activity profiles, not only the polymerization conditions but also the Ti distribution on the catalyst appear to be an important factor which affects the bulk density of the polymers.

    Notes: Aromatic poly(ether ketone)s with ferrocene units in the main chain were prepared by direct polycondensation of 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid with diphenyl ether or 1,4-diphenoxybenzene using various catalysts such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid), a combination of methanesulfonic acid/P2O5 (Eaton's reagent) or a combination of triflic acid/P2O5. Polycondensations at room temperature for 24 h gave poly(arylene ether ketone)s with inherent viscosities up to 40 mL g-1. Monoacylation of diphenyl ether with ferrocenecarboxylic acid was studied in detail in order to show the efficiency of polymer formation employing Eaton's reagent as catalyst and solvent.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die mechanischen und strukturellen Eigenschaften von Blends aus Phenolphthalein-Polyethersulfon und ultrahochmolekularem Polyethylen (UHMWPE) wurden anhand von Zug- und Biegeversuchen, Raster- und Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Die Zugabe einer geringen Menge UHMWPE (2 Gew.-%) führt zu einer Verstärkung der PES-C-Matrix. Höhere UHMWPE-Konzentrationen verschlechtern die mechanischen Eigenschaften. Die Strukturuntersuchungen zeigen, daß die Blends im gesamten Zusammensetzungsbereich mehrphasig sind. Bei geringen UHMWPE-Konzentrationen ist die UHMWPE-Phase gleichmäßig verteilt und entlang der Fließrichtung orientiert, was mit der starken Grenzflächenadhäsion zur Verbesserung des mechanischen Verhaltens beiträgt. Mit steigender UHMWPE-Konzentration nimmt die Domänengröß der UHMWPE-Phase zu.
    Notes: Mechanical and structural properties of blends of phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) (PES-C) with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were investigated using tensile and bending testing, scanning electron microscopy and transition electron microscopy. The incorporation of minor amounts of UHMWPE (2 wt.-%) into PES-C has a reinforcement effect. With higher concentrations of UHMWPE, the mechanical properties decrease gradually. Structural studies demonstrated that the blends are multiphasic in the whole composition range. The minor UHMWPE, dispersed uniformly and oriented along the flow direction, as well as the strong interfacial adhesion contribute to the increase of the mechanical performance of the blends. The domain size of the UHMWPE phase was found to increase with the increase of its concentration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Redoxcopolymeres, ein makroporöses Poly(Styrol-co-Divinylbenzol) (S/DVB)-Harz mit N-Bromsulfonamidgruppen, wurde angewandt, um Cyanide aus wäßrigen Lösungen zu entfernen. Dieses Harz enthält aktives Brom in den funktionellen Gruppen (1.86 mmol g-1, 3.72 meq g-1) und weist Oxidationseigenschaften auf. Es wurde sowohl in statischen als auch in dynamischen Systemen für die Oxidation von Cyanidionen zu nichttoxischen Verbindungen angewandt. Die Reaktionen wurden in wäßrigen Lösungen mit 26-2600 mg L-1 CN- bei unterschiedlichen pH-Werten durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß dieses Harz die Cyanide leicht zu Cyanaten oxidiert, die ca. 1000 mal weniger toxisch sind. Bei Kontakt mit dem Harz fiel die Cyanidkonzentration in den Lösungen unter 0.05 mg L-1 CN-. Die —SO2NBrNa-Gruppen gingen dabei in —SO2NH2-Gruppen über. Diese konnten wiederum mit Natriumhypochlorit- und Natriumbromid-Lösungen reaktiviert werden. Es wurde auch eine Alternative zu der Cyanidionenoxidation mit N-Bromsulfonamid-Harz untersucht, indem ein analoges N-Chlorsulfonamid-Harz in Gengenwart von katalytischen Mengen von Bromiden angewandt wurde.
    Notes: A redox copolymer, macroporous poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (S/DVB) resin having N-bromosulfonamide groups, was used for removal of cyanide ions from aqueous solutions. This resin contains active bromine in functional groups (1.86 mmol g-1, i. e. 3.72 meq g-1) and shows oxidative properties. It was employed in static and flow system for oxidation of cyanide ions to non-toxic compounds. The reactions were carried out in aqueous media containing 26-2600 mg L-1 CN- at different pH values. The data showed that the resin having active bromine easily oxidized cyanides, forming cyanates being 1000-times less toxic than cyanides. In contact with the resin the concentration of cyanides in tested solutions dropped below 0.05 mg L-1 CN-. During the oxidation processes the —SO2NBrNa groups transform to —SO2NH2 groups. They can be reactivated by use of sodium hypochlorite and bromide solutions. As an alternative to oxidation of cyanides by N-bromosulfonamide resin, the oxidation of these ions by N-chlorosulfonamide resin with addition of a small amount of bromides was examined.

    Notes: Novel Polyester glycols with alkyl side groups were used for the improvement of thermal stability and hydrolytic stability of polyester urethane elastomers. The novel polyester glycols used are poly( β -methyl- δ -valerolactone)glycol (PMVL), poly(3-methyl pentamethylene adipate) glycol (PMPA), poly(nonamethylene-co-2-methyl octamcthylene carbonate) gycol (PNCO). A mixture of PNCO and poly(dimethyl siloxane)gycol (PNCO/PDMS) was also used. Polyurethane network elastomers were prepared from 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (or 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate), and a mixture of 1,4-butane diol and trimethylol propane by a prepolymer method. Mechanical properties, Tg, thermal stability, and hydrolytic stability were measured. Morphology were also measured by means of polarizing microscopy, dynamic viscoelastometer, and ESR. The properties of novel polyurethane elastomers have good mechanical properties comparable to those of the general purpose polyester urethanes, and better thermal and hydrolytic stability than PTMG-based polyurethane. These polyurethane elastomers were exposed in out door during 2 year in Nagasaki, JAPAN. The novel polyurethane clastomers held alomost constant values for gel fraction, swelling ratio, relative modulus during 12 months, while poly(oxytetramethylene oxide)-based polyurethane as a control decreased the these values. Relationship of degradation behaviors with chemical structure and morphology were discussed.

    Notes: In the chain oxidation of N-alkylamides with molecular oxygen, propagation is the ratedetermining step under conditions when the oxidation rate is independent of oxygen pressure. The oxidizability of lactams and lactam-based polyamides correlates with the energy of the formation of N-alkylamide radical by abstraction of hydrogen from the methylene group adjacent to nitrogen. While for lactams this energy depends on the number of carbons in the lactam ring, for N-alkylamides and polylactams such dependence is not observed.

    Notes: An X-band EPR-Imaging apparatus which allowed us to determine the distribution of nitroxyl radicals within solid samples of polymeric materials containing hindered amine stabilizers, is described. It is shown that EPR Imaging represents a powerful tool for investigating the growth and decay of nitroxyls formed in polymers irradiated under air for long periods. Since the variations of the radical concentration can be monitored both in time and in the space, this technique provides valuable information not easily attainable by means of other methods.

    Notes: A re-examination of the photo-oxidation mechanism of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) at both long and short irradiation wavelengths under accelerated conditions is reported. The formation rate of poly-2,6-dimethylphenoxy (PDMP) radicals, have been observed by esr spectroscopy, while benzylic-type radicals have been detected by spin trapping experiments using nitrosodurene under UV irradiation conditions. The changes of FTIR spectra obtained under accelerated photo-oxidative conditions show the formation of primary oxidation products such as aromatic aldehydes and quinones. The direct formation of radical cations and superoxide anions by a photo-induced electron-transfer reaction is suggested under our conditions. In addition, some results on the of photo-oxidation PPO/PS blends as a function of polystyrene tacticity are also reported. In the case of syndiotactic polystyrene the blend photostability shows some differences in comparison with the blend containing atactic polystyrene. This effect has been ascribed to the absence of excimers in syndiotactic polystyrene which are not revealed by fluorescence measurements. Finally, the chemical modification of PPO with bromine gave a bromomethylated PPO with different amounts of CH2 Br groups, which has been used for further substitution reactions with alkoxy sodium salts of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and 4-hydroxy-1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine (PMPP). The accelerated photo-oxidation of a modified copolymer PPO-PMPP containing a 60% PMPP moieties as side groups and its blends with pure PPO has been followed by FTIR and esr spectroscopies. Some comparisons with a commercially available hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and a modified copolymer PPO-PMPP are also reported under the same photo-oxidative conditions.

    Description / Table of Contents: For innovative applications of plastics, which take advantage of special properties of polymeric materials, comprehensive understanding on strengthening and toughening mechanisms is required. The temperature-dependent mechanical behaviour of PMMA, PS and PC under dynamic loading conditions were investigated by means of an instrumented Charpy impact tester. The elastic-plastic fracture mechanics parameters, the energy-determined J-integral, and the deformation-determined crack opening displacement, δ, enable to do structure-related quantification of micromechanical processes. The J-integral values showed a maximum, resulting from an energy-dissipative process. The maximum values for PMMA occurred at 50°C and for PC at 40°C , which is related to the secondary(β) relaxation as evaluated from the frequency dependence of the mechanical loss factor. The 0-relaxation initiated shear deformation mechanisms, which led to a local increase of toughness. In polycarbonate, toughness is strongly increased due to a stress-induced shear flow process at temperatures higher than -25°C. Correlations between morphology and toughness can be derived with the help of optical investigations of stable crack propagation on fracture surfaces.
    Notes: Innovative Kunststoffanwendungen, die die speziellen Eigenschaften polymerer Werkstoffe gezielt ausnutzen, erfordern vertiefte Kenntnisse über festigkeits- und zähigkeitsbestimmende Mechanismen. Das sich in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur ändernde Werkstoffverhalten von PMMA, PS und PC wurde bei dynamischer Beanspruchung mittels instrumentierter Kerbschlagbiegeprüfung bestimmt. Mit der verformungsbestimmten Rißöffnungsverschiebung δ und dem energiebestimmten J-Integral stehen Kenngrößen der Fließbruchmechanik zur Verfügung, die eine strukturbezogene Quantifizierung der temperaturabhängigen mikromechanischen Prozesse erlauben. Die J-Integralwerte zeigen für PMMA bei 50°C und für PC bei -60°C ein durch einen energiedissipativen Prozeß verursachtes Maximum. Dieses Maximum steht, wie sich aus der Interpretation der Frequenzabhängigkeit des mechanischen Verlustfaktors ergibt, mit der Neben(β)-Relaxation in Beziehung. Dabei initiiert die β-Relaxation Scherdeformationsmechanismen, die ihrerseits die lokale Zähigkeitserhöhung bewirken. Ab -25°C führt für PC ein spannungsinduzierter Scherfließprozeß zu einer erheblichen Zähigkeitssteigerung. Durch die Einbeziehung lichtmikroskopischer Untersuchungen des stabilen Rißfortschritts auf der Bruchfläche können Morphologie-Zähigkeits-Korrelationen abgeleitet werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Eine Reihe von Polyamidimid-Polyimid-Blockcopolymeren (PAI-PI-BCPs) wurde durch Polykondensation von PAI-Blöcken mit Amino-Endgruppen und PI-Blöcken mit Anhydrid-Endgruppen hergestellt. Zur Synthese der Blöcke mit Molekulargewichten im Bereich von ca. 2000 bis 15000 wurden nur technisch leicht zugängliche Monomere, wie Trimellitsäureanhydridchlorid, Benzophenontetracarbonsäuredianhydrid, 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethan, 2,4-Toluylendiamin und 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylsulfon eingesetzt. Dabei zeigte sich, daß durch den blockartigen Aufbau die Löslichkeit-und damit die Verarbeitbarkeit-im Vergleich zu den reinen, unlöslichen Polyimiden wesentlich verbessert werden konnte, bei nahezu gleichbleibender Thermostabilität. So wurden BCPs mit guten mechanischen Eigenschaften, Thermostabilitäten bis ca. 480°C (Thermogravimetrie, 5% Gewichtsverlust) und guten Löslichkeiten in Dimethylacetamid und anderen polaren aprotischen Lösungsmitteln erhalten.
    Notes: New poly(amide-imide)-poly(imide) block copolymers (PAI-PI-BCPs) were prepared by polycondensation of amino-terminated PAI-blocks with anhydride-terminated PI-blocks. For the syntheses of the blocks with molecular weights from 2000 to 15000 only commercially available monomers were used, e.g. trimellitic acid anhydride chloride, benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, 2,4-toluenediamine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone. The BCPs were shown to have better solubility compared to the pure, insoluble PIs with only minor decrease of the thermostability. Thus, BCPs with good mechanical properties, thermostabilities up to 480°C (thermogravimetric analysis, 5% weight loss) and good solubility in dimethylacetamide and other polar aprotic solvents were obtained.

Die Copolymeren wurden mit IR- und 1H NMR-Spektroskopie sowie Elementaranalyse, Differentialkalorimetrie und Thermogravimetrie charakterisiert. Der Einbau sowohl von hydrophoben als auch von hydrophilen Sequenzen verleiht den Polymeren amphiphile Eigenschaften. Ihre Eigenschaften in Lösung und als Feststoffe lassen die Produkte für Anwendungen als nichtionische Emulgatoren, Oberflächenmodifikatoren, Gele, usw. geeignet erscheinen.

The copolymerization products were characterized by IR- and 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, DSC and thermogravimetry. The insertion of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequences in the macromolecular structure induces a behavior characteristic of amphiphilic compounds. Their solution and solid state behavior evidenced peculiarities which make them able to act as nonionic emulsifiers, surface modifiers, gels, etc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Zustand von Wasser in Protonenaustausch-Membranen, hergestellt durch Pfropfen von Styrol auf Polyvinylidenfluorid-Filme (PVDF-g-PS) mittels Elektronenstrahlen und anschließendes Sulfonieren (PVDF-g-PSSA), wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC), Raman-Spektroskopie und Rontgen-Diffraktion (SAXS) ermittelt. Die Raman-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß einzelne Wassermolekule durch hydrophobe Wechselwirkungen an die Polymerketten gebunden sind. Die DSC-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß Wasser in den Membranen in drei verschiedenen Umgebungen vorliegt: nicht gefrierendes ionisch gebundenes Wasser, gefrierendes freies Wasser und gefrierendes gebundenes Wasser. Die Menge an nicht gefrierendem Wasser betragt unabhangig vom Pfropfungsgrad etwa 10 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol). Die Menge an gefrierendem Wasser ist stark vom Pfropfungsgrad abhangig. Oberhalb eines Pfropfungsgrades von 50% werden Werte von 40 H20/S03H (mol/mol) erreicht. Die Leitfahigkeit von nur nicht gefrierendes Wasser enthaltenden Membranen ist gering, d. h., das ionisch gebundene Wasser kann nicht allein die fur den Transport von Protonen und Wasser notwendigen Kanale bilden. Die SAXS Untersuchungen zeigten, daß Wasser/Sulfonsaure-Cluster in Membranen aus hydratisiertem PVDF-g-PSSA mit einem Bragg-Abstand von 25 Å gebildet werden. Diese Cluster formen die Kanale fur den Ionentransport und die Leitfähigkeit.
    Notes: The state of water in proton exchange membranes prepared by pre-irradiation (electron beam, 100 kGy) grafting of styrene onto poly(vinylidene fluoride) films (PVDF-g-PS), followed by sulfonation (PVDF-g-PSSA), has been studied with thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy and small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS). Raman spectra show that, in addition to free liquid water in the membranes, single water molecules are weakly bound to the polymer backbone. Thermal analysis shows that there are three types of water molecules in the membrane; non-freezable water associated with the ionic sites, freezable free water, and freezable bound water. The amount of non-freezable water is around 10 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol), and is independent of the degree of grafting (d.o.g.). The amount of freezable water is strongly dependent on the d.o.g. as long as the grafting has not penetrated the whole of the film, and reaches a value of around 40 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol) above a d.o.g. of 50%. The conductivity of membranes containing only the non-freezable water is low, i. e. the ionically bound water alone does not form the domains necessary for proton and water transport. SAXS measurements show that water/sulfonic acid clusters in hydrated PVDF-g-PSSA membranes with a Bragg distance of 25 Å are formed; these form the ion conducting channels in the membrane.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Zug- und Biegemoduli von preßgeformten Polypropen-Probekörpern mit unterschiedlichen Oberflächenkristallinitäten wurden basierend auf der Annahme eines Schicht-Verbund-Modells untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die Spannungs-Dehnungs-Kurven der Zugversuche und die Werte der Biegeablenkung im wesentlichen von der Oberfächenkristallinität abhängen, jedoch erwiesen sich die Bruchspannungen als von der Oberflächenkristallinität unabhängig. Es wird angenommen, daß das beobachtete Zug- und Biegeverhalten der Proben auf der Grundlage eines Schicht-Verbund-Modells, bei dem eine massive, starre Platte zwischen zwei weichen Schichten eingebettet ist, charakterisiert werden kann.
    Notes: The tensile and flexural moduli of the compression-molded sheets of polypropene with different surface layer crystallinity were investigated based on a layered composite model. It was found that the tensile stress-strain curve and flexural deflection depended largely on the surface layer crystallinity, but the ultimate strain-at-break values were independent of the surface layer crystallinity. It is suggested that the tensile and flexural behavior can be characterized using a layered composite model in which a bulk plate was sandwiched between two surface layers.

    Notes: Addition of HALS-stabilisers, the cut-off wavelength of the light source, the temperature and the oxygen pressure have an influence on the UV-degradation mechanism of polyolefins. All these parameters influences the conversion of oxygen into polymeric carbonyls. The results are explained assuming that the initiation of the UV-degradation of pololefins is due to substrate-oxygen charge transfer complexes (CTCs).

    Notes: The applicability of fracture mechanics was studied on UV-exposed HDPE Charpy specimens. The failure distribution of the stress at failure measured in three-points bending tests showed a bifurcation in failure processes. At high stresses yielding occurs, resulting in large strain at failures. At lower stresses crack propagation causes low strain at failures. Due to the bifurcation in failure processes the ductile-brittle transition temperature of exposed specimens is hard to determine.Specimens notched after exposure showed a decrease in the critical stress intensity values. The effective notch depth of exposed specimens was found to be larger than the thickness of the oxidized layer measured by FT-IR and density measurements.

    Deactivation processes of 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazines  -  polymeric and monomeric UV absorbers of the benzotriazole and triazine class (1997)

    Notes: In the 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazines, the intramolecular hydrogen bond is stronger than in the corresponding 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles. Compounds with only one aryl group in the 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazine series show proton-transferred fluorescence with large Stokes shift and high quantum yield. No such fluorescence is observed, in contrast, for compunds with three aryi groups bearing no electrondonating groups on the aryl moieties. When the hydrogen atom of the intramolecular hydrogen bond is replaced by CH3, the respective derivative shows fluorescence with a normal Stokes shift.Various copolymers of MA-TIN 1 (2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert.-butyl-5-(O-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methylpropenoyloxy)propyl]-2-carbonyloxyethyl)phenyl]benzotriazole), and MA-TZ 1 (2,4-Bis(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-6-[2-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxy-3-[2-methylpropenoyloxy])propoxyphenyl]-1,3,5-triazine) with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and methacrylic acid have been synthesized by radical polymerization. The absorption spectra in the longwavelength UV region appear unchanged compared to those of the monomeric UV absorbers indicating that the stabilizer chromophores are conserved intact in the polymer. Both the monomeric and the polymeric stabilizers exhibit a strongly Stokesshifted, temperature-dependent, low-quantum-yield, proton-transferred fluorescence. This may be taken as evidence that the intramolecular hydrogen bond, which is essential for the photostability of this type of UV absorber, remains intact also in the copolymers. Activation energies of the radiationless deactivation process can be evaluated from the temperature dependence of this fluorescence. These energies lie between 4 and 5 kJ/mol for most of the benzotriazole and triazine stabilizers investigated.Fluorescence-decay measurements with crystalline MA-TIN 1 at different temperatures reveal a close correspondence of the temperature dependence between decay times and relative quantum yields. The radiationless process is thence concluded to originate from the proton-transferred level S1'. The decay time at room temperature is estimated at 70 ps, close to the value for crystalline TIN P (2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole). The proton-transferred fluorescence of MA-TIN 1 exhibits a biexponential decay profile whereas solid TIN P, in contrast, displays only one single lifetime.

    Notes: The two-state theory of protein denaturation, in which it is assumed that a protein exists as two species, native and denatured, is examined by three approaches in this paper. First, the point is made that denaturation of an isolated molecule involves a continuous shift in the probabilities of occurrence of many states generated by the partition function for the protein. It is argued that the maximum term approximation does not lead to a two-state mechanism of denaturation, and that the extent of cooperation implied by the two-state theory should give very much sharper transitions than are actually found in proteins. Second, the two-state theory is applied to the various model systems treated in this series of papers, and is found to be inadequate. Since the detailed behaviour of the models is known, it is possible to deduce the effect of the incorrect application of the two-state theory to a system that “denatures” by gradual unwinding. This exercise is useful when, thirdly, we examine experimental data that seem to depart radically from a two-state interpretation. We conclude that a mechanism of gradual unwinding is the most generally valid assumption, and that the two-state theory has no theoretical or experimental support.

    Notes: The ability of periodate-oxidized amylose to form aggregates in aqueous solution was studied by sedimentation, light scattering, and viscosity analyses. Ultracentrifuge schlieren patterns show that aggregation can be appreciable at pH 3.0 and 1.0. The hydroxyl ion-catalyzed degradation of the oxidized amylose is faster at pH 3.0 than at pH 1.0. Viscosity and sedimentation analyses conducted at pH 3.0 show that a minimum in the degree of aggregation of the oxidized molecules is obtained at 15-25% oxidation. Solubulity studies and x-ray diffraction patterns on retrograded amylose show that maximum solubility of the retrograded amylose is obtained by oxidizing to the extent of 25-35%. It was therefore concluded that in the general range of 20-30% periodate oxidation, the oxidized amylose has a minimum ability to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Outside of this range, oxidized amylose readily forms aggregates in aqueous solutions.

    Notes: Calorimetric measurements of the heat of the addition of the second strand of poly U to poly (A + 2U) to form the three-stranded poly (A + 2U) complex in 0.1M and 0.5M NaCl at 24 and 37°C. are reported. A value of ΔH = -3800 cal./mole of poly (A + 2U) formed was found to be fairly insensitive to the experimental conditions employed. The heat of the addition of the third strand to the preformed poly (A + U) helix is considerably less exothermic than the heat of reaction between poly A and poly U to form poly (A + U). The insensitivity of the heat of addition of the third strand (poly U) to changes in salt concentration and temperature lends qualitative support to the earlier hypothesis that the major portion of the variation of the ΔH of the poly A and poly U reaction with experimental conditions arises from differences in the conformation of poly A. Combining the information obtained in this study for the ΔH of the reaction forming poly (A + 2U) with data for the ΔH of the formation of poly (A + U) indicates that the conversion of poly (A + U) to poly (A + 2U) is opposed by an enthalpy change which increases with temperature. Extrapolation of these values to 52°C. where poly (A + U) is transformed to poly (A + 2U) in 0.5M NaCl leads to a value of ΔH = +3800 cal./mole (A + 2U) formed and ΔS = 11.5 cal./mole of (A + 2U) formed. It is concluded from the calorimetric data that the driving force for the poly (A + U) to poly (A + 2U) conversion reaction is the favorable entropy change.

    Interaction between proteins and salt solutions. III. Effect of salt type and concentration on the shrinkage temperature (1965)

    Notes: The effect of salt type and concentration on the transformation of an oriented crystalline collagen tendon into a crosslinked network under conditions of equilibrium swelling was investigated. Our main observations are the following. The degree of swelling of crystalline tendons increases at low salt concentration Cs, and decreases at higher Cs for a wide variety of salts. The observation is not reconcilable with swelling taking place in interfibrillar spaces or structural voids. Within the tropocollagen units and at their ends, regions of reduced organization are postulated (as suggested by Bear and by Schmitt) which are able to interact with the diluent in the amorphous-like manner. At least four different factors should be considered in assessing the role of salt and salt concentration on the shrinkage temperature Ts under isoelectric conditions. They are: (1) specific effects, (2) diluent effects, (3) crosslinking effects, and (4) nonequilibrium effects. The diluent effects are correlated with the salting-in-salting-out power of the ions which was characterized in Part I of this series. Smaller amounts of diluents are generally available to the tendon when the salt has a higher salting-out power, and this corresponds to higher shrinkage temperatures, other conditions being the same. The crosslinking effect raises Ts due to a reduction of the diluent content and, probably for p-benzoquinone and formaldehyde, also to a reduction of the conformational entropy in the molten state. Nonequilibrium effects arise from the fact that shrinkage and recrystallization are kinetically hindered when the tendon is highly deswollen in strong salting-out solutions, or when the salt has a crosslinking power. The specific effect is the only effect which is not related to the amount of diluent present in the tendon. Its origin is less clear. For anions such as Cl- and SCN-, it is possibly related to an ability of the ion to prevent intersegmental hydrogen bonding and water carbonyl bridges. The competition of several of the above effects for a given salt solution makes possible various types of dependence of Ts upon Cs: Ts may either continuously decrease or continuously increase with increasing Cs, or it may go through a minimum. In absence of salt, the cooperative character of the transition at the pH at which maximum swelling occurs appears extremely reduced. The large swelling maintains the tendon in the elongated state and this simulates a continuous decrease of Ts on lowering pH. In presence of small quantities of salt, which reduce swelling, the transition is sharp and Ts is decreased with pH up to pH 2, when maximum swelling occurs, and then reincreases on further lowering of the pH. The dependence of Ts upon Cs is more complex than under isoelectric conditions. There is generally an increase of Ts with Cs which is equivalent to an increase of the denaturation temperature with Cs for helical polyelectrolytes in solution. At higher salt concentrations, however, Ts may decrease again, and possibly increase again at still higher salt concentrations, depending upon the effect of the salt solution in the isoelectric zone.

    Notes: By using the Nemethy-Scheraga theory of water structure, a calculation was made of the energy changes for the rupture of a DH…A solute-solute hydrogen bond in water. A partition function was also obtained for the binding of water and other solutes to the DH and A groups in the special case where these are the NH and CO groups of a random coil polypeptide chain. In subsequent papers of this series, these calculated quantities will be used in a statistical mechanical treatment of the helix-coil transition for polypeptides in water.

    Notes: The electric birefringence of collagen solutions has been measured over a wide range of field strength with the pulse technique. The soluble collagen was from rat tail tendon. The solvent used was dilute acetic acid. Very pronounced saturation of the electric birefringence was observed, permitting calculation of the optical anisotropy factor. The Kerr constant was determined by extrapolation to zero field strength. From the dependence on field strength of the birefringence, the permanent dipole moment and the anisotropy of polarizability were separately determined. The contribution of the former to the Kerr constant was found to be twice as large as that of the latter. The same conclusion was obtained from the initial slope of the rise curves of the birefringence at low fields. The permanent dipole moment was 1.5 × 104 Debye, and the anisotropy of polarizability was about 3 × 10-15 cm.3. The magnitude of the latter indicates that the ion atmosphere polarization is important. Effects of added salt and thermal denaturation on the electric birefringence were explored.

    Notes: The γ-benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization initialed by diisopropylamine was studied in dimethylformamide (DMF)-dioxane mixtures of different compositions. It was found that the shape of the conversion versus time plots and the molecular weights of the polymers depend on the solvent composition. Auto-catalysis is present only when dioxane predominates in the solvent mixtures. Moreover, the molecular weight of the final polymer depends strongly on the precipitation conditions when the polymerization is carried out in DMF.

    Notes: Crosslinked synthetic polypeptides of poly Glu51Lys33Tyr16 (mol. wt. 31,000) and of poly Glu52Lys33Tyr15 (No. 3) (mol. wt. 52,000) containing from one to six crosslinks per molecule have been prepared by use of FFDNB, WRK and ICD reagents.The monomeric fractions of these derivatives were isolated by Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The number of crosslinks per molecule of DNPene derivatives was determined by total hydrolysis of the derivatives, isolation of O, N∊-DNPene-Tyr-Lys bridges by paper chromatography and then spectrophotometric quantitation. The number of the amide-type crosslinks in Am derivatives was established by their deamination followed by total hydrolysis and quantitation of the remaining lysine residues. Crosslinked derivatives appear to have a more compact structure, as judged by their behavior on the Sephadex columns and by their intrinsic viscosities. They were further characterized in regard to their amino acid composition, average number of the crosslinks per molecule, nitrogen content, solubility, root-mean-square end-to-end distance, and their spectral properties. Their properties recommend them as useful models for the study of the tertiary structure of proteins in solution.

    Notes: The introduction of intramolecular amide bonds into synthetic polypeptides produces molecules with organized spatial structure which are good models for the tertiary structure of proteins. Polarization of fluorescence measurements were used to study the internal structure and the overall rigidity of the intramolecularly crosslinked polypeptides. The graph of [(1/p) + (1/3)] against T/η changes from a straight line to a continuous curve: the temperature at which this change occurs and the slope of the straight line segment measure the stability of the internal structure of the molecule. The introduction of one to six crosslinks produces an organized internal structure that becomes more stable as the number of crosslinks increases. In contrast to the fluorescence measurements, the intrinsic viscosities, reflecting the overall hydrodynamic domain of the molecules, change (decrease) to the same extent whether one, four, or six intramolecular crosslinks are present. The overall rigidity of the polymers can be assessed by the rotational relaxation time ρh and the polarization at 10°C. p10. Both of these criteria show that the presence of six crosslinks significantly increases the rigidity, but one or four does not. The various hydrodynamic measurements may be fitted into a hierarchy of discrimination: intrinsic viscosity, sedimentation, and diffusion for size and shape; rotational relaxation time and polarization of fluorescence at a given temperature for overall molecular rigidity; and transition temperature and rate at which it is attained for internal molecular detail.

    Notes: A theory for the dependence of the net thermodynamic solvation of a macroion in an electrolyte solution is presented. The solvation in moles salt/mole macroion is shown to approach - |Zp|/v in the limit of infinite dilution of salt and macroion. The solvation in moles water/mole macroion is shown to approach zero at zero water activity. Isopiestic determinations of the hydration of sodium deoxyribonucleate in NaCl, Na2SO4, and NaClO4 solutions indicate that short-range interactions of the NaDNA with solvent account for more than half of the observed solvation. The net hydration appears to be predominantly influenced only by water activity.

The values assigned to the triacetate, (2.5) nitrate, and tricarbanilate are 92 ± 2, 90 ± 2, and 87 ± 2 cal./cc., respectively. The CED of unsubstituted amylose has been measured and found to be 154 ± 4 cal./cc. The results are discussed in relation to solvent power, structure, and possible correlation with the internal pressure of the polymer.

    Notes: It is shown how the technique of fluorescence may be used to assess conclusions about conformation which are based on a statistical mechanical treatment of simple protein models. Specifically, the state of bonding and distance between two chromophores in a molecule depend on the overall conformation, which can be computed for model systems. On the assumption that the intensity and polarization of fluorescence are affected by exciton transfer between the chromophores, it is possible to compute the effect of conformation on fluorescence. It is demonstrated that the conformational changes computed in the preceding paper will give rise to marked changes in the intensity and polarization of fluorescence.

    Notes: Intrinsic viscosity-temperature studies for isoelectric gelatin in KCl and KSCN aqueous solutions and equilibrium degree of swelling, ν-1, measurements for amorphous crosslinked rat tail tendons in the same solutions were carried out. On increasing salt concentration Cs, both [η] and ν-1 increase, go through a maximum, and then decrease at high Cs, KCl being more effective than KSCN in bringing about this decrease. The trend observed is similar to the variation of solubility of polypeptides and soluble proteins with Cs. By regarding a water-salt solution of a given Cs as a single diluent interacting with the protein modified by solvation and binding of ions, usual polymer solution theories were applied to the experimental results. Thus, quantities related to the entropy and enthalpy components of the excess chemical potential of the diluents were obtained. The data indicate that the initial increase of [η] and ν-1 with Cs results from the balance of an enthalpy component which, on increasing Cs, becomes less favorable to dilution and an entropy component which, conversely, becomes more favorable. The subsequent decrease of [η] and ν-1 with Cs is due to the prevailing of the enthalpy component. The maximum is reached at higher Cs for KSCN than for KCl, primarily because of the large increase in the entropy component operated by the former salt. The increase of the entropy parameter with Cs is associated to a breaking down of the coordinated water structure and to an alteration of the conformation of the macro molecules due to ion-dipole interaction and to ion absorption. The decrease in exothermicity of dilution with Cs indicates a reduced thermodynamic affinity of the diluent toward the polymer which probably results from alteration of the nature of both polymer and diluent.

    Notes: Nine samples of poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG), ranging in M̄w from 19,000 to 410,000, were examined viscomctrically and by ultracentrifugation with dimethylforma-mide (DMF) at 25°C. as helicogenic solvent. The data for [η] and s0 (limiting sedimentation coefficient) as functions of M̄w were fitted well by the theories for a rigid prolate ellipsoid of revolution whose major axis increases linearly with M̄w, but whose minor axis is independent of M̄w. This implies that the overall shape of the PBLG molecule in DMF is represented by a straight cylinder whose cross section is independent of its length. The length per monomeric residue h evaluated from [η] is about 1.3 A., whereas that from s0 is about 1.6 A. No adequate explanation for this difference in h can be found at present. More serious is the fact that these hydrodynamically evaluated values of h are appreciably larger than, the value obtained from our light-scattering measurements reported previously. All these values of h from our studies are not consistent with the value characteristic of the α-helix, for which h is 1.5 A. The concentration dependence of s0 was found to agree well with the recent theoretical prediction of Peterson for cylindrical macromolecules.

Dry weights and uronic acid contents of these pellets showed that the amount of water held in the wet pellet was nearly constant for any one kind and concentration of collagen, and ranged from 20 to 100 mg./mg. PP-L in the pellet. Soluble collagens from four different sources and PP-L from three kinds of cartilage showed similar effects. Precipitation of soluble collagen in the presence of hyaluronate or dextran yielded pellets of much smaller size than those formed in the presence of PP-L. The presence of chondroitin sulfate had only a slight effect on wet pellet weights. Wet weights of pellets formed in the presence of PP-L decreased with increasing ionic strength. A model involving entanglement between insoluble collagen fibrils and the relatively stiff chondroitin sulfate chains of branched PP-L seems qualitatively capable of accounting for these results.

    Notes: The conformations of oligopeptides derived from L-alanine and co-oligomers of L-alanine with γ-methyl-L-glutamate were studied in several solvents via optical rotation and far-ultraviolet spectroscopy. Calculated values for optical rotation based on model compounds were compared with experimental values for the oligomers. In trifluoroacetic and dichloroacetic acids, the oligomers and co-oligomers exhibit rotations in close agreement with predicted values based on model compounds. Thus, in these solvents only nonhelical conformations exist. In trifluoroethanol, the experimental points of molar rotation for the pentamer and larger oligomers no longer follow the predicted values. In addition, the benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl cononamers show b0 values of about -150, which demonstrates the presence of stable helical forms for these peptides. We also examined the molar extinction coefficients of oligopeptides in the 190 mμ region and determined the values for nonhelical peptide groups. The molar extinction coefficients per amide bond for the benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl cononamers show extensive hypo-chromism, once again indicating the presence of stable helices for these compounds in trifluoroethanol.

    Notes: Studies were made of the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the helix-coil transitions of poly (A + U) and poly (A + 2U). The results were analyzed by a thermodynamic treatment which emphasized the cooperative aspect of the transitions. The helix-to-coil volume changes were found to be small and negative indicating pressure stabilization of the coil form. The significance of the results with respect to other denaturation measurements was discussed.

    Notes: The optical rotatory dispersion curves of the proflavine cation were measured in the spectral range 400-500 mμ. No optical activity was observed for the free cation but a large positive Cotton effect appeared in the presence of DNA. The effect of ionic strength, denaturation of the DNA, and the DNA/proflavine ratio were studied. The dependence of the magnitude of the Cotton effect on the DNA/proflavine ratio suggests that a nearest-neighbor interaction between bound proflavine molecules is necessary for optical activity. A simple statistical treatment was made which indicated that only a small number of proflavine molecules are required in close proximity for optical activity to occur. Denaturation of the DNA did not destroy the optical activity, which shows that long runs of DNA double helix are not necessary for optical activity of the ligand molecules. The optical rotatory dispersion curves of acridine orange which was bound to DNA were also measured. Two Cotton effects of opposite sense could be distinguished, the relative magnitudes of which depended on the DNA/acridine orange ratio and the state of denaturation of the DNA. The apparent differences from the proflavine-DNA system can to a large extent be explained in terms of the tendency of acridine orange to form aggregates.

    Notes: Investigations have been made on the optical rotatory dispersion properties of E. coli ribosomes and their constituent RNA and proteins. The results indicate that (1) no conformational changes are involved in the formation of a 70S particle from the 50S and 308 subunits, (2) the E. coli ribosomal proteins are similar to most globular proteins with little α-helix content, and (3) the conformation of RNA and proteins inside the ribosome is very similar to that in the free state.

    Molecular configuration of amylose and its complexes in aqueous solutions. Part II. Relation between the DP of helical segments of the amylose-iodine complex and the equilibrium concentration of free iodine (1967)

    Notes: The iodine which is added to an aqueous amylose solution is bound only partly by the amylose while forming the blue complex and partly remains free. The equilibrium normality of the free and the bound iodine at half-saturation of amylose by iodine is designated as [If]v and [Ib]w, respectively. The stability of the poly iodine chain formed within the axis of amylose helices depends on its length, i.e., indirectly on the DP of the amylose helices: the greater this stability, the lower the [If]v value. The amylose molecule consists of helical segments. Such a molecule may behave as a random coil. The average length of the helical segments in freshly prepared amylose-iodine complexes depends on temperature, pH, iodide concentration, the presence of other complex-forming agents, and the DP of the amylose. This latter factor is investigated in the present paper. By the aid of an automatically recording photometrictitrating device the coherent values of [Ib] and [If] were determined. Plotting these values against DPn for mechanochemically degraded as well as for periodateo-xidized amyloses resulted in curves consisting of two linear sections. The break of the curves occurred between DPn 110 and 130. It was concluded that below DPn = 100 the DP of helical segments (= sDPn) is identical to the DPn of the total molecule, i.e., the molecule consists of only a single, relatively stiff helix. Above this limit the molecule contains several helical segments. The DP of these helical segments can be calculated as follows: sDPn = 141.1 - 10.2 × 105[If]v. This equation is considered to be valid for 0.5-0.6 mg. amylose in 100 ml. 0.1N HCl at 20°C., λ = 650 mμ, euuvet diameter 3.4 cm., the feed rate of the iodate-iodide titrating solution (in acid medium resulting in a 5 × 10-3N I2 solution with a molar iodide to iodine ratio of 1.5) is 0.4ml./min. Amylose molecules of, e.g., DPn = 1380 consist of an average of 11.4 segments having a DP of about 120 and consisting of an average of 15-18 helical turns.

    Notes: The electrochemical possibilities for investigation of nucleic acids with high molecular weight are restricted to the determination of the adsorption behavior. According to our experience the alternating current polarography (Breyer-polarography) is mainly appropriate for the characterization of changes in the secondary structure of DNA. The Breyer-polarogram shows the alternating current of the dropping electrode in dependence on their potential which varied from 0-2 v. negative against the normal calomel electrode (NCE). By addition of native DNA to the supporting electrolyte (buffer solution) the current drops down in the range of adsorption between 0 and 1 v. At 1.16 v. against NCE the desorption takes place together with the formation of a rounded desorption peak. The investigation was carried out in phosphate buffer solution 0.1m with 0.075m NaCl or in a phosphate buffer 0.18m with 0.03m NaCl. In the pH range above pH 8 NaOH was added to realize the higher pH values. A calf thymus DNA sample having a mean molecular weight of about 18 million was used. The concentration of DNA was 5 × 10-3-1 × 10-1 wt.-%. The polarographic measurements were performed with an a.c./d.c.-polarograph “GWP 564” from Akademiewerkstätten für Forschungsbedarf der Deutschen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin (DAW). The denaturation of the double helix causes a sharp desorption peak at negative potentials of the alternating current polarogram. This new criterion for the helix-coil transition is due to formation of unpaired bases. These nearly free bases undergo a specific adsorption and the desorption takes place within a narrow potential range. Nevertheless, at present time an electron transfer to particular bases cannot be excluded at special conditions. The increase of the sharp peak permits to estimate: (a) the melting curve of the double helix in agreement with spectroscopic measurements; (b) the photolysis of the double helix; (c) the strand separation in acid and alkaline solution. In the alkaline range the sharp peak increases and reaches its maximum at pH 〉 12. In the acid range, however, no sharp peak is observed and the rounded desorption peak decreases. Therefore, the best way of following the conformation changes is to measure the current difference between the curves of the solutions with and without DNA at electrocapillary-zero-potential. On the classical d.c.-polarogram one can measure small current steps only, which may be caused mainly by capacity changes. Moreover, the scission of the molecule by ultrasonic action can be followed. In this case the rounded peak of DNA increases but the sharp peak does not appear. Similar alternating current polarograms are obtained with poly-A in the native state, because helical and unordered regions coexist in the same molecule. The very rapid indication of these structure changes allows one to carry out kinetic measurements at a fixed potential with this method.

    Notes: The theory of Kirkwood for the translational frictional coefficients of structures composed of subunits has been generalized in two ways in order to consider aggregates of nonidentical subunits. One of these generalizations fails when the sizes of subunits are too disparate; the other, derived from a surface shell distribution of frictional elements, is effective over the whole range of relative sizes. It is shown that, in the limit of a continuous surface distribution, a shell model reproduces Stoke's law for a sphere. Comparison is made between the frictional coefficients of spheres, ellipsoids, and rods modeled by finite numbers of subunits and by continuous shells of frictional elements, and those calculated from other theories. Agreement is generally good, though the shell model for prolate ellipsoids of revolution deviates by a few per cent from the Perrin value.

    Notes: The reaction, V amylose hydrate ⇄ H2O + V amylose dehydrate, where the amylose hydrate and dehydrate are pseudohexagonal, helical species with packing diameters of 13.7 and 13.0 A., respectively, has been studied. The V amyloses were exposed to water vapor pressures at various temperatures, with phase determination obtained by identifying solid reactant and product from their x-ray patterns. Reversibility of reaction was found to occur over a 50-96°C. range. A Clausius-Clapeyron plot yields a ΔH of reaction of 10.4 kcal./mole of water released, which value is close to analogous heats of reaction of many common hydrate systems.

    Notes: The thermal helix-coil transition of DNA was studied by means of dielectric constant measurements. The dielectric dispersion of native helical DNA is characterized by a large dielectric increment and a large relaxation time, whereas that of denatured coil DNA is characterized by a small dielectric increment and a small relaxation time. The dielectric dispersion of partially denatured DNA is of particular interest. At the intermediate stage of the helix-coil transition, dispersion curves which are different from either that of helix DNA or that of coil DNA appear. This is particularly pronounced for large DNA. This indicates the presence of an intermediate form of DNA. Flow birefringence measurements were carried out simultaneously. The negative birefringence of helical DNA diminishes as the helix-coil transition proceeds. However, the extinction angle remains constant, as long as it can be measured. These results indicate the absence of intermediate forms during the helix-coil transition. The discrepancy between dielectric and birefringence measurements can be resolved by assuming that the intermediate forms are not birefringent. The size distribution of native DNA and of the indicated intermediate form of DNA was studied. It is found that a logarithmic normal distribution function explains the distribution of size of DNA reasonably well.

    Notes: Poly-γ-berizyl-L-glutamate prepared by polymerization of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate NCA in dimethylformamide (DMF) with the use of diisopropylamine as the initiator was precipitated from the polymerization mixture under different conditions. A portion of the almost completely polymerized solution was treated with an excess of isopropylamine and then precipitated into diethyl ether (sample A). The remaining portion of the polymerization mixture was concentrated in a rotating evaporator, stored at room temperature for a few days, and then diluted with DMF and precipitated into diethyl ether (sample B). The molecular weight distributions of the two polymer samples were determined by the chromatographic procedure of Baker and Williams. The molecular weight of sample B is roughly three times that of sample A. However both samples have the “most probable” distribution of molecular weight. The results are interpreted according to Bamford's polymerization mechanism.

    Notes: The method of matrix rank analysis has been applied to a large body of experimental data to determine and identify the minimum number of independent spectral components that, were contained within it. The optical rotatory dispersion of TMV RNA was measured in the wavelength region 230-350 mμ, for a wide range of temperatures and ionic strengths. Over the whole range of conditions considered, the observed optical rotatory dispersion spectra were found to be a superposition of two basic spectra only. Evidence is put forward relating these spectra to the single-strand and double-strand helical forms of the molecule. A model is proposed to explain the observed spectral changes in terms of an equilibrium between these two conformations, which leads to a direct calculation of the percentage composition of the double strand at any of the conditions considered. This equilibrium, while simple in general description, appears multi-state and complex in detail. This method of analysis is both powerful and of wide applicability, since it is independent of the source of the data.

    Notes: An infinite series solution to the Mason-Weaver equation is presented for the case in which a synthetic boundary is formed originally between solution and solvent. Digital computations based on this series, and confirmed independently, have been made for a range of parameters. For given conditions, the maximum rate of change of concentration at the meniscus and the time at which it occurs can be easily estimated by means of the curves presented. In equilibrium experiments which commence with formation of a sharp boundary, this enables the fringes to be identified with certainty.

    Notes: The course of the reversible helix formation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBG) dissolved in a mixture of dichloroacetic acid (DCA) and 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) was followed by measuring the heat capacity and the optical rotation of the system through the transition region. The results of these measurements indicate that the transition enthalpy ΔH the transition temperature Tc, and the Zimm-Bragg parameter σ depend considerably on the PBG concentration as well as on the composition of the solvent. For the standard state of infinite dilution, however, a linear extrapolation of the measured ΔH if values results in a standard value ΔH° = 950 cal./mole, independent of the solvent composition. The results of the calorimetric measurements are discussed in relationship to changes in optical rotation. Some peculiarities in the measured thermodynamic and optical properties in solutions with relatively high content of dichloroacetic acid are reported.

    Notes: Helical conformations of infinite polymer chains may be described by the helical parameters, d and θ (the translation along the helix axis and the angle of rotation about the axis per repeat unit), pi (the distance of the ith atom from the axis), dij, and dij (the translation along the axis and the angle of rotation, respectively, on passing from the ith atom to the jth). A general method has been worked out for calculating all those helical parameters from the bond lengths, bond angles, and internal-rotation angles. The positions of the main chain and side chain atoms with respect to the axis may also be calculated. All the equations are applicable to any helical polymer chain and are readily programmed for electronic computers. A method is also presented for calculating the partial derivatives of helical parameters with respect to molecular parameters.

    Notes: A dilatometric technique is employed to measure the volume changes occurring on denaturation of collagen solutions and tendons. Partial specific volumes of tropocollagen are calculated to be 0.686 ml./g. in water and 0.689 ml/g in 0.1M citrate buffer. From data on non-aqueous solutions, it is estimated that most of the volume change arises from changes in polymer configuration rather than from changes in solvation.

    Notes: We have generated solutions to the Lamm equation to examine the effects of concentration dependence on velocity experiments. Two forms of c dependence are considered: s/s0 = 1 - kc and s/s0 = (1 + kc)-1. Features of these solutions are discussed. The magnitude of the errors resulting from the usual procedure of measuring the rate of movement of schlieren maxima or of the position at which the concentration is one half the plateau value have been examined. These errors are usually negligible after sufficient centrifugation time. The errors in using the half-plateau concentration are less than those using the movement of the peak. We have also examined a technique due to Fujita for determining D from boundary spreading when s/s0 = (1+kc)-1. This method is satisfactory when s/s0 is actually of this form, or under certain limitations when s/s0 = (1 + kc)-1. Creeth has shown that under certain conditions the concentration gradient, curve remains virtually unchanged in shape after separating from the meniscus. When this occurs it is possible to estimate s/D from the data. The condition for such a steady state is that kc0 be sufficiently large. Numerical confirmation of this method is presented in the final section.

    Noncomplementarity in base sequences between the cohesive ends of coliphages 186 and λ and the formation of interlocked rings between the two DNA's (1967)

    Notes: The half molecules of 186 DNA have been isolated by the Hg(II)-Cs2SO4 density gradient centrifugal ion technique. The buoyant densities of the two halves in CsCI at 25°C. are 1.713 and 1.709 g./cm.3, corresponding to GC contents of 54% and 50%, respectively. Similarly, 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA halves were separated. The isolation of the four DNA halves made it possible to test for homology in base sequences between the cohesive ends of λ and those of 186. There was no indication of any significant homology in base sequences between the cohesive ends of the two DNA's, as indicated by the absence of a band with intermediate buoyant density in CsCI when either half of 186 DNA was annealed with either half of 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA and then centrifuged. The lack of cohesion between the two DNA's made it possible to demonstrate unequivocally the formation of interlocked rings (catenanes) between the two DNA's. The existence of a dimeric catenane is evidenced by the formation of a species of intermediate buoyant density when 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA is cyclized in the presence of cyclic 186 DNA of a relatively high concentration. The molecular weight of one DNA relative to the other can be calculated from the position of the dimeric catenane in a density gradient by using the method of Baldwin. The result was in complete agreement with our previous measurements from the sedimentation coefficients and by electron microscopy. The probability of dimeric catenane formation when one DNA is cyclized in the presence of another DNA is discussed. The experimental results agree with the theoretical expectation.

    Notes: Based on the four electrodes technique, an apparatus is described which measures the Very Low Frequency (VLF) conductivity of ionic solutions, all electrode effects being completely eliminated. It is thus possible to measure the conductivity frequency dependence between 0.8 and 500 cps, with a relative error of 10-4. Applying this method to DNA solutions, one always finds a conductivity dispersion in the VLF range, which disappears when the biopolymer is heat-denatured. The relaxation time is different from one solution to another, but is always greater than 10 msee. approximately, sometimes even greater than 0.1 sec., the upper limit which one can estimate with our apparatus. The different, explanations of the DNA very low frequency polarization, assuming that its relaxation is connected with the rotational diffusion of the biopolymer long axis, is discussed.

    Notes: Studies of the properties of copolymers of N-carboxy sarcosine anhydride with other N-carboxy α-amino acid anhydrides have shown that the secondary structure may be a function of the type of initiator used. In particular, when polysarcosine is the initiator, and the “chain effect” becomes possible, blocklike character appears in the copolymer. This is the result of selective and rapid polymerization of N-unsubstituted N-carboxy α-amino acid anhydrides by the chain-effect mechanism. In suitable circumstances, therefore, the latter may be used to induce order into copolymerizations of this type.

Unit cells and the probable space group of P212121 were determined for the V anhydrous and V hydrate forms of amylose; the analysis confirms previous predictions of these structures based on x-ray powder patterns. Chain folding in V amyloses is discussed in view of crystallographic evidence and folding experiments conducted with space-filling models. Reported also is evidence for amylose helices having diameters intermediate between 13.0 and 13.7 A.

    Notes: Conformational energies of the poly-N-methyl-L-alanine chain have been calculated as a function of the rotational angles of its skeletal bonds, taking into account torsional potentials, van der Waals repulsions, and London attractions. Four pronounced minima in the energy were found; the relative magnitudes of the energies at these minima suggest that the preferred conformation of this chain is either a right-handed, approximately threefold helix, or a slightly distorted, left-handed α-helix. Inclusion of an estimate of the dipolar contribution to the total conformational energy does not significantly affect this conclusion.

    Notes: The equilibrium normality [If] of free iodine in amylose-iodine complex formation is a function of the length of the polyiodine chains. This length depends on the DP of helical segments of amylose (sDPn). Values of [If] and of the concentration of the bound iodine [Ib] were determined by the continuous photometric titration with automatic recording. Plots of [Ib] versus [If] give an integral distribution curve. Since the relation between [If] and sDPn is known, the graphic differentiation of the [Ib] versus [lf] curve furnishes the differential distribution curve, representing the mass distribution of the helical segments according to their DP. The peak of this curve is characteristic of the percentage and DP of those helical segments, which occur in the largest amount. On the basis of the differential distribution curve the polymolecularity of the investigated sample may be judged. The titration of amylose samples degraded by various methods gives different distribution curves. Titrating mixtures of samples with widely differing average DP values results in differential curves having more than one maximum.

    Notes: The electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the DNA-acridine orange complex have been measured over a range of ionic strength, pH, and DNA phosphate to dye (P/D) ratios. Three circular dichroism bands associated with the long wavelength absorption band of acridine orange are induced on complex formation with DNA. Two of the dichroism bands, due mainly to dimeric dye molecules, are favored by low ionic strength, low pH (3.2), and a low P/D ratio (∼3), while the third, deriving primarily from monomeric dye, is optimum at high ionic strength, neutral pH, and a larger P/D ratio (9). The data suggest that monomeric acridine orange binds to DNA in the form of a left-handed helical array with four dye molecules per turn, while the bound dimer has a skewed sandwich conformation which is itself dissymmetric. The stereochemical relations between the bound monomer dye and the DNA are consistent with a modified intercalation model for the DNA-acridine complex.

    Notes: The degree of helicity θ of a series of homologous polypeptides as a function of solvent composition was investigated. The polypeptides studied were: poly-N5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine (PHPG) as well as the corresponding 2-hydroxyethyl and 4-hydoxybutyl derivatives (PHKG and PHBG, respectively). PHPG, which is nonhelical in formic acid, attains helicity on addition of relatively small amounts of formates, formamide, and urea to its solution in formic acid. This demonstrates that the high acidity of pure formic acid is largely responsible for its helix-breaking power-probably through protonation of the peptide bonds. In formic acid-water mixtures all three polymers show a maximum in degree of helicity at a mole fraction of about 0.3 formic acid. This is interpreted as being due to interaction between the two helix-breaking solvents, which results in the formation of an inactive molecular species. It is shown that solvent-induced transitions with helicity maxima are predicted by the Bixon-Lifson treatment when applied to this system.

    Notes: In aqueous solutions of the amylase-iodine complex the concentration of free iodine [If]v after reaching equilibrium (or closely approximating it) is determined by the following factors: temperature, pH, concentration of iodide ions and amylose, and DP of amylose. In the present paper the role of temperature, amylose concentration, and DP has been investigated. At half-saturation of amylose by iodine, the reciprocal value of free iodine defines the equilibrium constant: 1/[If]v = K. The relation between [If]v, in normality and temperature is the following: 5 + log [If]v = -(2.132/T) + 8.52, for DPn = 1290, 0.4 mg. amylose in 100 ml. 0.1N HCl. The value of the energy of activation Ea between 2 and 52°C. is 9.72 kcal./mole. The influence of amylose concentration [Am] on photometrically determined [If]v, at 20°C, in the range of 0.1-1.2 mg./100 ml. 0.1 N HCl for DPn = 1290 is: 5 + log [If]v = 0.209 - 0.047 log [Am]. At [Am] = 0.6 mg. amylose/ 100 ml. 0.1 N HCl and 20°C, the value of [If]v depends on DPn as follows: 5 + log [If]v = 0.085 = + 0.222 log (104/DPn). These above equations are summarized by the relation: [If]v = exp {16.865 - (Ea/RT)}[Am]0.047(104/DPn)0.222 ×10-5 Considering that the determination of [If]v by automatic photometric titration can be performed quickly and with appropriate reproducibility, this method is convenient for a rapid empirical and approximate determination of DP of amylose on a microscale. The iodine-binding capacity [IBC] as well as the value of λmax, have been also investigated as functions of DPn, by photometric and by amperometric titration.

    Notes: Dielectric properties of human and horse hemoglobin were studied at frequencies ranging from 20 kc./sec. to 7 Mc./sec. The relative errors in the measurements were usually less than 10-3 even for mildly conducting solutions (10-3M KCl). The experimental setup allowed us variation and measurement of the degree of oxygenation of the protein and to determine its dielectric parameters. Our main conclusion is that it was not possible to find any variation of the dielectric increment for hemoglobin oxygenation levels of 25, 50, 75, and 100%, approximately. This result is at variance with some previous reports. We cannot give the reason for this discrepancy but discuss some possible explanations. The specific dielectric increment, Δεs/c, of human hemoglobin was shown to be significantly smaller than that of horse hemoglobin (0.28 against 0.32). This physical property is lowered with increasing ionic strength I: Δεs/c = 0.28 and 0.20 for I = 10-4 and 10-3, respectively (human protein).

    Notes: The transient electric birefringence behavior of bacteriophage T2 and the T2 ghost or protein coal was studied. The field free relaxation measurements show both the intact virus and its ghost to have two rotary diffusion coefficients. These coefficients have values of 555 ± 54 and 111 ± 22 sec.-1 for the intact virus and 688 ± 89 and 161 ± 29 sec.-l for the ghost. The equivalent ellipsoids for the fast and slow relaxation coefficients were obtained by use of Perrin's equation and were related to the bacteriophage structure in terms of a possible extension of the tail fibers or an enlargement of the head structure. The saturation of the specific birefringence of the phage and the ghost when compared with the specific birefringence of the free nucleic acid gave an average optical orientation of 10 to 18% of the nucleic acid parallel to the main axis of the phage. The analysis of the birefringence versus applied field strength in the Kerr region gave the following values for the anisotropy of the polarixability. αe,33 - αe,11 and intrinsic dipole, μ, of both phage and ghost : for T2 phage αe,33 - αe,11 = 5.0 × 10-14 cm.3 and μ = 64,400 Debyes; for T2 ghost αe,33 - αe,11 = 7.9 × 10-14cm.3 and μ = 57,200 Debyes. The high intrinsic dipole for phage and ghost is interpreted as to be associated with the mechanisms of the virus for attachment, to the host cell wall.

    Notes: The hydration of several polyacids has been investigated with special attention to the effects of neighboring charged groups and hydrophobic groups on the hydration regions. The molar volume change due to the structural change of water by the hydration was obtained by the method of refractivity measurement. The polyacids employed were poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), poly(L-glutamic acid), and a copolymer of maleic acid and vinyl acetate. The measurement of the refractive index was performed for the solutions of these polymers neutralized to varying degrees by tetrabutyl-ammonium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. The results confirm the characteristics of the previous model of the hydration of polyelectrolytes, that is, the cooperative action of neighboring charged groups induce the second hydration region in addition to the intrinsic hydration region. The stiff structure of water in these regions restricts the mobility of counterions forced to enter into these regions by the strong electrostatic potential of polyions. The results indicate also that hydrophobic groups induce an additional hydration region around their neighboring charged groups. Small but negative volume changes were observed for conformational changes of poly(L-glutamic acid) and poly(methacrylic acid) induced by the neutralization of carboxyl groups.

    Notes: The heat of solution of a series of three polyglutamates as a function of solvent composition was measured. The abrupt increase in heat of solution at the solvent composition of the helix-coil transition (as evidenced by optical rotation data) allows the estimation of the transition enthalpy change. The difference of side chain in the three polyglutamates has no appreciable effect on the transition enthalpy, although it affects the helix stability, as judged from the solvent composition at the transition points. These facts are discussed on the basis of existing models of the transition.

    Notes: Single crystals of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) were formed by epitaxial crystallization from solution in mesitylene on NaCl, KI, and KCl (001) cleavage faces. From electron microscopy and diffraction studies, the structure of these overgrowths was determined to be that of lamellae containing chain-folded α-helical macromolecules. The usual type of crystal perfection, that of ordered helix axes and disordered side groups, was exhibited by this synthetic polypeptide. Unique orientation regimes were observed with each substrate.

    Notes: As a model for a variety of reaction processes on long chain molecules, for example, helix formation, a kinetic theory on a linear lattice is presented. Each reaction site can undergo reversible transitions between two states (0 and 1) with rates depending on the slate of its nearest neighbors. The system of coupled rate equations for the frequencies of specified runs of 0's and 1's is infinite for an infinite chain. In contrast to the case of irreversible processes, the system cannot, be written down by inspection. A procedure for the systematic derivation of the rate equations is developed which can be programmed on a computer. Explicit expressions for runs up to length four, involving runs up to length five are obtained without recourse to the computer. For the solution of the rate equations a closure must necessarily be imposed, and a possible procedure is pointed out. Furthermore the equilibrium relations following from the model are considered. The well-known equilibrium results for nearest-neighbor interactions represent a special case of these equations.

    Notes: Measurements of specific heat of wool-water systems were made at approximately 5°C intervals over the temperature range -70 to 100°C. Ten different, samples were used, each with a different amount of absorbed water in the range from dry ness to saturation at 0°C. The graph of specific heat against temperature for dry wool is precisely linear over the complete temperature range, suggesting that thermal motion is entirely vibrational. When absorbed water is present the data can be conveniently discussed in terms of behavior below and above an amount of absorbed water of 22.7 g in 100 g of wool (22.7% of absorbed water). Below 22.7% there is only one temperature range in which the results indicate an appreciable transition in heat absorbing properties. The temperature of transition depends on water content but is higher than 0°C. Above 22.7% a second transition appears in the range -30 to 0°C and grows rapidly larger with increase of water content. The first transition is tentatively ascribed to a slightly cooperative breakdown of polar bonds in wool, and the second to a process analogous to melting in the absorbed water. The results are discussed in these terms as well as with reference to specific heat theories, the heat absorption of the wool component and the water component, and enthalpy differences between the various samples.

    Notes: Dielectric relaxation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) in solution has been studied in the 5 kcps-10 Mcps range for various values of the helix content. The results give first experimental evidence for three effects of major significance. (1) The system exhibits dielectric relaxation due to a chemical rate process (namely helix formation). This confirms recent theoretical predictions. (2) The mean relaxation time τ* of the helix-coil transition could be evaluated as a function of the degree of transition. The results are in excellent agreement with a previously developed theory. At the midpoint of transition it is found τ*max = 5 × 10-7 sec. The elementary process of helical growth turns out to be practically diffusion-controlled (with a rate constant of hydrogen bond formation of 1.3 × 1010 sec-1). (3) There is a considerable electric field effect of the helix-coil transition. This indicates that conformation changes in biological systems could be potentially caused by direct action of an electric field.

    Notes: The interaction of unsubstituted purine with polyuridylic acid in D2O solution at neutral pD has been studied by high resolution proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The poly U proton resonances were shifted to higher fields by the added purine, indicating that purine binds to the uracil bases of the polymer by base stacking. Severe broadening of the purine proton resonances was also observed, providing strong evidence for the intercalation of purine between adjacent uracil bases of the polymer. The line widths of the poly U proton resonances were not noticeably broadened in the presence of purine; thus, the binding of purine to poly U does not result in a more rigid or ordered structure for the polymer.

    Notes: Polyelectrolyte expansion effects on high molecular weight bacteriophage DNA have been studied by examining the influence of simple salt concentration upon the intrinsic viscosity, [η]. The viscosity-molecular weight exponent a in the expression [η] = KMa diminishes from 0.8 in 0.005M simple salt to a limiting value of 0.6 for salt concentrations greater than 0.6M at 25°C. The ε parameter of the N1+ε hydrodynamic representation thus varies from approximately 0.2-0.07 over this range of salt concentration. The intrinsic, viscosity of DNA decreases slightly with increasing temperature at low and moderate salt concentrations but becomes independent of temperature at high salt concentrations. The expansion of the DNA molecular domain is linear in the reciprocal square root of the simple salt concentration. Viscosity differences among DNA's isolated from several bacteriophage T5 mutants reflect small differences in molecular weight which are in agreement, with sine determination by other techniques. The DNA's isolated from various rII mutants of T4 bacteriophage including some very large deletion mutations were found to be identically the same size in accord with current genetic ideas. Details of the representation and extrapolation of viscosity data are discussed and the sensitivity of the technique is evaluated.

Normal frequencies have also been calculated for these molecules with various conformations. The spectra show that this compound has two crystalline modifications, form A and form B. The frequencies and their isotope shifts show that the molecular conformation (Ψ, φ) of form B is near (0, 120) and that of form A near (180, 120). The short-range factors determining the conformation of peptide backbone having glycine residues are discussed.

    Notes: The objective have been to establish if those ions which are known to change the stability of the structure of proteins, have any influence on the properties of ionizable polypeptides. Potentiometric titrations and complementary optical rotation data are presented for aqueous solutions of poly-L-lysine (PLL) in the presence of KSCN, KCl, and KF, and for poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLGA) in the presence of KSCN, KCl, and LiCl. The following measured quantities which are affected by salt concentration were obtained: intrinsic pK (pK0), slope of pKapp versus degree of ionization (α) curves, the degree of ionization at which the helix to coil transition occurs, and the free energy of this transition for the uncharged molecule (δG°hel). The effects of nonspecific salts (KCl and LiCl for PLL and KSCN and KCl for PLGA) are small, and about, as expected from general electrostatic considerations. In line with the observations made with isoelectric and cat ionic collagen, specific, effects were noted with KSCN-PLL and with LiCl-PLGA. In the presence of KSCN, the poly-L-lysine helix becomes stabilized at much lower degree of ionization than in the presence of KCl, and the slope of the pKapp versus α plots is greatly reduced. However, ΔG°hel (for the uncharged molecule) is not affected, and pK0 is only slightly higher. We interpret these data in terms of binding of SCN- primarily to the side-chain amino groups (both to R—NH3+ and to R—NH2) solutions. (L-glutamic acid) in LiCl solution has its transition at the same α value as in KCl solution. However, both the slopes of the pKapp versus α plots and the absolute values of ΔG°hel are lower than in KCl solution. We interpret these results in terms of binding of Li+ to side chains as well as to the peptide bond.

    Notes: Density increments (∂ρ/∂c2)°μ in solutions of NaDNA in NaCl and CsDNA in CsCl were determined over a wide range of salt concentrations; calf thymus DNA, fragmented by sonic irradiation to a molecular weight of 4-6 × 105 was used. The partial specific volume v̄2° of NaDNA at 25°C was found to ho 0.500 ml/g in water, and that of CsDNA 0.440 ml/g. Both values increase with increasing NaCl and CsCl concentration. Refractive index increments under various experimental conditions were also determined. The relevance of the density increments (at constant, chemical potential of diffusible solutes) to equilibrium sedimentation in a density gradient and the evaluation of molecular weights is discussed. Distribution coefficients of diffusible components, sometimes referred to as preferential solvation or net hydration, were derived from the density increments and partial volumes and compared with direct experimental results, whenever available, from membrane distribution and isopiestic distillation. The thermo-dynamic significance of the distribution coefficients as well as possible interpretations in terms of specific molecular mechanisms are considered.

    Models for hemoglobin and allosteric enzymes (1968)

    Notes: A model for hemoglobin is proposed and its application to allosteric enzymes is discussed with particular reference to asparate transcarbamylase. The main assumptions made are that the molecule is composed of subunits and that occupation of a sub-unit produces a conformational change which affects the occupational probability of neighboring subunits. The results compare favorably with experiment and a number of specific predictions are made for aspartate transcarbamylase.
