    Description: Marine pockmarks are a specific type of seabed geological setting resembling craters or pits and are considered seabed surface expressions of fluid flow in the subsurface. A large composite pockmark on the Malin Shelf, off the northern coast of Ireland was surveyed and ground truthed to assess its activity and investigate fluid related processes in the subsurface. Geophysical (including acoustic and electromagnetic) data confirmed the subsurface presence of signatures typical of fluids within the sediment. Shallow seismic profiling revealed a large shallow gas pocket and typical gas related indicators such as acoustic blanking and enhanced reflectors present underneath and around the large pockmark. Sulphate profiles indicate that gas from the shallow reservoir has been migrating upwards, at least recently. However, there are no chimney structures observed in the sub-bottom data and the migration pathways are not apparent. Electromagnetic data show slightly elevated electrical conductivity on the edges of the pockmarks and a drop below regional levels within the confines of the pockmark, suggesting changes in physical properties of the sediment. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments were employed to characterize the organic component of sediments from selected depths. Very strong microbial signatures were evident in all NMR spectra but microbes outside the pockmark appear to be much more active than inside. These observations coincide with spikes in conductivity and the lateral gas bearing body suggesting that there is an increase in microbial activity and biomass when gas is present.

    Notes: Abstract The nitration of toluene with nitric acid and acetic anhydride using zeolite H‐beta as catalyst was studied with multi‐nuclear solid‐state NMR spectroscopy in order to investigate the causes for the observed enhanced para‐selectivity. The reversible transformation of framework aluminium from a tetrahedral into an octahedral environment was observed by 27Al NMR upon interaction of the zeolite with the different components of the nitrating system. The octahedral co‐ordination complex between lattice aluminium and acetylnitrate might explain the surface‐catalysed para‐selective nitration reaction and suggests that the lattice flexibility plays an important role in determining the regio‐selectivity of the nitration catalysed by zeolites.

    Notes: Abstract CP/MAS 13C-NMR spectroscopy in combination with spectral fitting was used to study the supermolecular structure of the cellulose fibril in spruce wood and spruce kraft pulp. During pulping, structures contributing to inaccessible surfaces in the wood cellulose are converted to the cellulose Iβ allomorph, that is, the degree of order is increased. This increase is also accompanied by a conversion of cellulose Iα to cellulose Iβ. Cellulose from wood composed of different cell types, that is, compression wood, juvenile wood, earlywood, latewood and normal wood exhibited a similar supermolecular structure. Assignments were made for signals from hemicellulose which contribute significantly to the spectral C-4 region (80–86 ppm) in kraft pulp spectra but substantially less to the corresponding region in wood spectra.

    Notes: Abstract  Synthetic (SiGe)-pyroxenoids are often observed to have superperiods. Whether or not these superperiods grow in connection with Si-Ge ordering is a fundamental question. The size difference between Ge and Si tetrahedra leads to CdGeO3 having the pyroxmangite structure, whereas CdSiO3 has the wollastonite structure. Consequently, considerable strain is expected for a pyroxenoid with a disordered Ge-Si distribution. A 29Si MAS-NMR study of a Cd-pyroxmangite of nominal composition Cd7[Ge6Si]O7 points to considerable Si clustering, probably as GeSiSiSiGe triples corresponding to the wollastonite-like units of the siebener chain. It is proposed that such ordering relieves strain within the tetrahedral chain. Residual strain is also relieved by insertion of an extra pair of GeO4 tetrahedra into the pyroxene-like component of the siebener-chain units, leading to single neuner-chain units which terminate the superperiods. This growth pattern is cyclic. The presence of several types of superperiod may reflect similar energetics for different Ge-Si-ordering patterns within the siebener chains. Ordering of Si-rich unit cells and of unit cells having no Si is proposed as the reason for the occurrence of the superperiods in Cd-pyroxmangite.

    Notes: Abstract The solution structure of MTH1175, a 124-residue protein from the archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. MTH1175 is part of a family of conserved hypothetical proteins (COG1433) with unknown functions which contains multiple paralogs from all complete archaeal genomes and the archaeal gene-rich bacterium Thermotoga maritima. Sequence similarity indicates this protein family may be related to the nitrogen fixation proteins NifB and NifX. MTH1175 adopts an α/β topology with a single mixed β-sheet, and contains two flexible loops and an unstructured C-terminal tail. The fold resembles that of Ribonuclease H and similar proteins, but differs from these in several respects, and is not likely to have a nuclease activity.

    Notes: Abstract In this study NMR and DSC are used to probe the structure, thermal characteristics and morphology of a network formed from a diepoxide/acrylate system. Separate chemistries are employed to polymerize the diepoxide and acrylate components. The cationic polymerization of the diepoxide exhibits excellent selectivity in producing a crosslinked polyether network without affecting the acrylate monomer. Subsequent photoinitiated free-radical polymerization of the acrylate produces a phase separated, semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN).

    Notes: Abstract The room temperature [13C]NMR spectrum of 2,4-bis(N-pyrrolidinyl)-6-chloro-s-triazine shows doubled signals for the pyrrolidine rings, which suggests restricted rotation about the Ar-C—N bond. The rotational barrier around this bond was determined by [13C]dynamic NMR (DNMR) spectra run at different increasing temperatures and also by the PM3 Hamiltonian contained in the MOPAC package. The values thus obtained, 16.6 and 13.6 kcal mol−1, respectively, are in good agreement.

    Notes: Abstract Coatings were prepared by mixing MeTMS and an aqueous colloidal silica. Mixing of an MeTMS hydrolysis mixture with the aqueous colloidal silica is only possible, without flocculation of the colloidal silica particles, within a certain time window. 29Si NMR was used to follow the hydrolysis/condensation reactions of MeTMS, whereas 1H NMR was used to monitor the reaction of the MeTMS monomers and oligomers with the silica surface in the coating liquid. The reaction of MeTMS with the surface of the SiO2 particles is determined by the oligomer size. Typical SiO2 surface coverage is less than 3 molecules/nm2 (approximately one monolayer). Large MeTMS oligomers and/or cyclic species do not react with the SiO2 surface. These species are probably too apolar to react or absorb at the SiO2 surface. Flocculation of the aqueous colloidal silica occurs due to the low polarity of the hydrolysis mixture. The water content and the degree of condensation of the MeTMS determine the width of the time window.

    Notes: Abstract The study of non-hydrolytic reactions for the synthesis of NASICON is reported. Different procedures have been considered, changing the precursors and their addition order, and varying the reaction solvent; dichloromethane, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran (THF). The most promising results in terms of homogeneous reactivity were obtained using PO(On-C4H9)3, Zr(Ot-C4H9)4, SiCl4 and Na(Ot-C4H9) in acetonitrile. The reactions were followed using heteronuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (13C, 31P). NASICON powders were prepared by the thermal decomposition of the gels between 900 and 1200°C. The powders were analyzed by XRD to check the formation of the NASICON phase.

    Notes: Abstract The medium-range-network structure of silicas from different sources was comparatively examined by X-ray diffraction, IR and NMR analyses. Silica gels made through the conventional sol-gel route were found to have a different structure from silica glass, and considered to be composed of 4-fold siloxane ring units, irrespective of preparation conditions. Amorphous silicas in rice-hulls and bamboo leaves showed structure data close to silica glass, being suggested to consist mainly of 6-fold siloxane ring units. The modified sol-gel method, in which siloxane oligomers containing cyclic siloxane tetramers may have been ring-opened and polymerized under the catalytic reaction of NaOH or NH4F in the water-free solution, provided the silica gel of which structure was very similar to silica glass.

    Notes: Abstract Two sol-gel syntheses allowed the preparation of β-Al2TiO5 thin films on silicon substrates at 700°C, reacting aluminum and titanium alkoxides with and without acetylacetone as a chelating agent. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectra of the sols allowed identification of the intermediate species formed and to show the formation of an Al-Ti containing polymer establishing that the synthesis without acetylacetone leads to the most extensive polymerization. The formation of β-Al2TiO5 at low temperatures is attributed to diffusion-limited crystallization process, which takes place in the conditions of high homogeneity at molecular level reached in the sol-gel synthesis. The crystallization of the films was studied as a function of the firing time and temperature and confirmed that β-Al2TiO5 with better thermal stability was obtained with the synthesis without chelating agent.

    Notes: Abstract Hybrid inorganic-organic gels have been prepared by the sol-gel process using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as precursor, mixed with a low concentration of polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF), under acid catalysis. The hybrid xerogels were characterized by DRIFTS and Solid State 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR. The DRIFT spectra indicate that the polymer is responsible for decreasing the number of free silanol groups in comparison to pure silica. Solid-state NMR spectra reveal the types of silicate structures formed and the conditions for establishing chemical bonds between the two phases, which are responsible for the silica network flexibility. We have concluded that it is possible to design a hybrid gel with tailored properties, even at very low polymer concentration, by selecting the appropriate preparation route.

    Notes: Abstract Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) is frequently used as precursor for the preparation of sol-gel derived nanoscaled hybrid polymers. The influence of nanoscaled metal oxide sols of silica, boehmite, zirconia and ceria on reactions of GPTS in ethanolic hydrolysates and in corresponding gels (epoxide ring-opening, condensation degree) was examined by liquid- and solid-state 13C and 29Si NMR with regard to a better correlation between structure and material properties. Generally, a higher condensation degree of RSi(O0.5)3 units of GPTS is found after addition of metal oxide sols compared to GPTS without additives. The metal oxide sols (10 mole% series) cause an epoxide ring-opening up to 20% in GPTS hydrolysates after 24 h. A nearly complete ring opening was found in the boehmite and silica containing hybrid gels whereas gels containing ceria and other types of silica only show a low degree of ring-opening. The results show an accelerated ring-opening with increasing content of AlO/OH-species in silica sols. 13C NMR studies reveal that the epoxide ring-opening does not completely lead to polyether structures but to considerable amounts (up to 40%) of ethylether groups which can influence the material properties (hardness).

    Notes: Abstract The conformation of a melittin—inhibitor complex was studied by solution NMR, solid-state NMR, and circular dichroism. In solution, binding was studied by titrating inhibitor against melittin in dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, aqueous buffer, and dodecylphosphocholine micelles. The change in chemical shift of Trp19 resonances and the formation of a precipitate at 1:1 molar ratio indicated that the inhibitor was bound to melittin. Solid-state NMR also showed a change in chemical shift of two labeled carbons of melittin near Pro14 and a change in 1H T 1 relaxation times when complexed with inhibitor. Rotational resonance experiments of melittin labeled in the proline region indicated a change in conformation for melittin complexed with inhibitor. This observation was also supported by circular dichroism measurements, indicating a reduction in α-helical structure for increasing ratios of inhibitor bound to melittin.

    Notes: Abstract The mutant of baker's yeast cytochrome c peroxidase-CN with Ala82 in place of Asn82, [N82A]CcPCN, exhibits a complex solution behavior featuring dynamic interconversion among three enzyme forms that so far have only been detected by NMR spectroscopy. Proton NMR studies of [N82A]CcPCN reveal resonances from each of the three enzyme forms and show that the interconversion among forms is controlled by the pH, temperature, and isotope composition (H2O vs. D2O) of the buffer solution. No evidence for a key hydrogen bond between His52 and heme-coordinated cyanide is found in any of the enzyme forms, indicating that disruption of the extensive distal hydrogen bonding network is the source of this phenomenon.

    Notes: Abstract In the present study the specifically13C-enriched lignin precursors of biosynthesis (i.e., coniferin-[side chainα−13C], coniferin-[side chain-β−13C] and coniferin-[side chain-γ−13C]) were synthesized and administered exogeneously to ginkgo shoots (Ginkgo biloba L.) to obtain13C-enriched lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs). The specifically13C-enriched LCCs were isolated from the newly formed xylem of ginkgo shoots administered with the13C-enriched precursors and degraded by enzymes. Lignin-rich fractions, so called enzyme-degraded LCCs (EDLCCs), were obtained. By determining their13C-NMR spectra, information related to the chemical structure of lignin building units and linkages between phenylpropane units of lignin and carbohydrates were obtained. It was found that these precursors were incorporated in natural lignin successfully. Three lignin-carbohydrates linkages (i.e., ether type, ester type, ketal type) were found at the C α -position of the side chain of phenylpropane units in ginkgo LCC. No lignin-carbohydrate bond at the Cβ- or Cγ-position of the lignin side chain was observed in the13C-NMR spectra of the13C-enriched LCCs. This fact indicates that a specific13C tracer technique can be useful in NMR study of the chemical structure of LCCs.

    Notes: Abstract The conformations and dynamics of gangliosides GM1, GM2, 6′-GM2 and GM4 have been studied by computational means, and the results compared to NMR data. Unconstrained conformational searches were run using the AMBER* force field augmented by MNDO derived parameters for the Neu5Ac anomeric torsion, the GB/SA water solvation model, and the MC/EM alogorithm; extended (10–12[emsp4 ]ns) dynamic simulations in GB/SA water were performed with the MC/SD protocol, and the stored structures were minimized. The overall mobility of the Neu5Acα2,3Gal linkage and the position of its minimum energy conformation have been shown to depend mainly on the presence or the absence of a GalNAc residue at the adjacent position. The best quantitative agreement with the available NOE data was achieved after minimization of the structures stored during the MC/SD dynamic runs. The latter protocol appears to reproduce satisfactorily the available experimental data, and can be used with confidence to build three-dimensional models of ganglioside headgroups.

    Notes: Abstract Synthetic oligosaccharide vaccines based on core STn (sialyl α2-6 GalNAc) carbohydrate epitopes are being evaluated by a number of biopharmaceutical firms as potential immunotherapeutics in the treatment of mucin-expressing adenocarcinomas. The STn carbohydrate epitopes exist as discontinuous clusters, O-linked to proximal serine and threonine residues within the mucin sequence. In an effort to probe the structure and dynamics of STn carbohydrate clusters as they may exist on the cancer-associated mucin, we have used NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations to study the effect of O-glycosylation of adjacent serine residues in a repeating (Ser)n sequence. Three model peptides/glyco-peptides were studied: a serine trimer containing no carbohydrate groups ((Ser)3 trimer); a serine trimer containing three Tn (GalNAc) carbohydrates α-linked to the hydroxyls of adjacent serine sidechains ((Ser.Tn)3 trimer); and a serine trimer containing three STn carbohydrates α-linked to the hydroxyls of adjacent serine sidechains ((Ser.STn)3 trimer). Our results demonstrate that clustering of carbohydrates shifts the conformational equilibrium of the underlying peptide backbone into a more extended and rigid state, an arrangement that could function to optimally present the clustered carbohydrate antigen to the immune system. Steric effects appear to drive these changes since an increase in the size of the attached carbohydrate (STn versus Tn) is accompanied by a stronger shift in the equilibrium toward the extended state. In addition, NMR evidence points to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the peptide backbone NH protons and the proximal GalNAc groups in the (Ser.Tn)3 and (Ser.STn)3 trimers. The putative peptide-sugar hydrogen bonds may also play a role in influencing the conformation of the underlying peptide backbone, as well as the orientation of the O-linked carbohydrate. The significance of these results will be discussed within the framework of developing clustered STn-based vaccines, capable of targeting the clustered STn epitopes on the cancer-associated mucin.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the effect of continuous medium flow on the viabilityand structural organization of hepatocytes high density entrapped inalginate gel beads in the first few hours after isolation.The metabolic energy status of the entrapped cells, monitored invivo by 31P NMR spectroscopy, was stable during theexperimental time and a physiological redox ratio was reachedafter the first three hours of culture. The morphologicalanalysis revealed that the entrapped hepatocytes placed in a fixed-bed bioreactor under continuous flow showed a polyhedricalshape with numerous microvilli on cell surface and reconstitutedtight junctions as well as bile canalicular structures, closelyresembling those present in the liver.These results suggest that continuous flow allows the culture ofhepatocytes at very high cell density within a matrix withoutloss of viability and accelerates cellular tissue reconstructionat very short times after isolation. This type of culture couldrepresent a very useful model for physiological andtoxicological studies as well as a promising approach toward thedevelopment of a bioartificial hybrid support device in acuteliver failure.

    Notes: Abstract Cinnamomin is a plant type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from the seeds of Cinnamomum camphora. It consists of two nonidentical polypeptide chains (A- and B-chain) held together through one disulfide linkage. Its A- and B-chain contain 0.3% and 3.9% sugars respectively. The B-chain of cinnamomin was digested by pronase E and then the liberated glycopeptides were separated from non-glycopeptides by gel filtration chromatography on a Bio-Gel P-4 column. Three crude glycopeptides were obtained by continuing chromatography over anion-exchange resin (AG1-X2) in the buffer of 2% pyridine-acetic acid (pH 8.3) with a polygradient elution system. Through further purification by the gel filtration chromatography and HPLC, three major glycopeptides, GP1, GP2 and GP3 were obtained. Mainly by two-dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) including TOCSY, DQF-COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC, their primary structures were analyzed as: Manα1,3Manα1,6(Manα1,3)(Xylβ1,2)Manβ1,4GlcNAcβ1,4GlcNAcβ1-(Gly-)Asn-Asn-Thr(GP1), Manα1,6(Manα1,3)(Xylβ1,2)Manβ1,4GlcNAcβ1,4(Fucα1,3)GlcNAcβ1-Asn-Ala-Thr(GP2),Manα1,6(Manα1,3)Manα1,6(Manα1,2 Manα1,3)Manβ1,4GlcNAcβ1,4GlcNAcβ1-(Ala-)Asn-Gly-Thr(GP3).

    Notes: Abstract We have proposed a model for the oligomeric c-rotor of the Fo sector of ATP synthase and its interaction with subunit a during H+-transport driven rotation. The model is based upon the solution structure of monomeric subunit c, determined by NMR, and an extensive series of cross-linking distance constraints between c subunits and between subunits c and a. To explain the complete set of cross-linking data, we have suggested that the second transmembrane helix rotates during its interaction with subunit a in the course of the H+-translocation cycle. The H+-transport coupled rotation of this helix is proposed to drive the stepwise movement of the c-oligomeric rotor. The model is testable and provides a useful framework for addressing questions raised by other experiments.

    Notes: Abstract Inclusion complexation processesinvolving four cyclodextrins and naproxen have beenstudied for the protonated and unprotonated forms ofthe guest molecule. The association constants havebeen evaluated from changes in the fluorescenceintensity of naproxen following addition of acyclodextrin to an aqueous naproxen solution. 1HNMR NOESY and ROESY spectra have shown that twoorientations of the guest molecule relative toβ-cyclodextrin are possible.

    Notes: Abstract A study has been made on samples of dispersed vanadium dioxide (VO2) in a matrix of polyethylene glycol (PEG) doped with a quaternary ammonium salt (QAS), namely tetraethylammonium bromide. It has been established that under the influence of the dopant the heating of a sample up to the temperature of the metal-semiconductor phase transition (MSPT) results in a phase in homogeneity of the sample. On the basis of the results of this study it is possible to conclude that small concentrations of QAS in a PEG matrix can exert a strong effect on the electronic structure of dispersed VO2 particles. This is accompanied by the appearance of phase heterogeneity of VO2 which manifests itself in the fact that - with the onset of MSPT with increasing temperature - one portion of the substance passes into the metallic state, and the other remains in the semiconductive state.

    Notes: Abstract The primary electron acceptor of green sulfur bacteria, bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) 663, was isolated at high purity by an improved purification procedure from a crude reaction center complex, and the molecular structure was determined by fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy (FAB-mass), 1H- and 13C-NMR spectrometry, double quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy (DQF-COSY), heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) spectral measurements. BChl 663 was 2.0 mass units smaller than plant Chl a. The NMR spectra showed that the macrocycle was identical to that of Chl a. In the esterifying alcohol, a singlet P71 signal was observed at the high-field side of the singlet P31 signal in BChl 663, while a doublet peak of P71 overlapped that of P111 in Chl a. A signal of P7-proton, seen in Chl a, was lacking, and the P6-proton appeared as a triplet signal near the triplet P2-proton signal in BChl 663. These results indicate the presence in BChl 663 of a C=C double bond between P6 and P7 in addition to that between P2 and P3. The structure of BChl 663 was hence concluded to be Chl a esterified with 2,6-phytadienol instead of phytol. In addition to BChl 663, two molecules of the 132-epimer of BChl a, BChl a′, were found to be present per reaction center, which may constitute the primary electron donor.

    Notes: Abstract Due to a lack of at least 2 orders of magnitude in the amount of sample nuclei, single crystal surfaces are out of reach for conventional NMR measurements. Our aim is to prove that highly polarized 129Xe provides a technique to overcome this restriction. Therefore an apparatus for polarizing 129Xe up to 0.7 by spin transfer from optically pumped Rb has been designed as well as an NMR spectrometer in combination with a UHV chamber with sample cleaning, cooling and characterization abilities and a special manifold of glass stopcocks with a liquid nitrogen cooled trap for dosing nitrogen free polarized Xe into the chamber onto the surface.

    Notes: Abstract Using NMR, anisotropy of the hyperfine field on 57Fe nuclei was measured in Y3Fe5O12 with nonmagnetic, trivalent substitutions on d (Ga3+) and a (Y3+ - yttrium antisite defect) sites which are occupied by ferric ions in a pure, stoichiometric system. The measurements were performed by the spin-echo method at liquid helium temperature. Thorough analysis of the hyperfine field anisotropy on the 57Fe nuclei in an ideal environment and in an environment where one of Fe3+ nearest cation neighbours is replaced by the nonmagnetic impurity is given. When the Fe3+ on which the NMR is measured is on the a site and the impurity is Ga3+(d), the results may be interpreted in terms of the superposition model. On the other hand, the results for Fe3+ on the d site and Y3+(a) are in clear disagreement with the predictions of this model.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Nedocromil sodium (NS), which is used in the treatment ofreversible obstructive airway diseases, such as asthma, has been foundto exist in the following solid phases: the heptahemihydrate, thetrihydrate, a monohydrate, an amorphous phase, which contains variableamounts of water, and a recently discovered methanol + water (MW)solvate. Our aim was to apply 13C solid-state nuclear magneticresonance (NMR) spectroscopy and solid-state Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy to the study of specific interactions in the varioussolid forms of NS. Methods. The 13 solid-state NMR and FTIR spectra of the varioussolid forms of NS were obtained and were related to the crystalstructures of NS, the conformations of the nedocromil anion, and theinteractions of the water molecules in these crystals. Results. The 13C solid-state NMR spectrum is sensitive to theconformation of the nedocromil anion, while the solid-state FTIR spectrumis sensitive to interactions of water molecules in the solid state. In NSmonohydrate, for which the crystal structure has not yet been solved,and in the amorphous phase, the information about the conformationsof the nedocromil anion and the interactions of the water moleculesare deduced from the 13C solid-state NMR spectra and solid-state FTIRspectra, respectively. Conclusions. 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy and solid-state FTIRspectroscopy are shown to be powerful complementary tools forprobing the chemical environment of molecules in the solid state,specifically the conformation of the nedocromil anion and the interactions ofwater-molecules, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract The structure and conformation of the cyclic dipeptides [cyclo(L-Trp–L-Trp)·C2H6SO] and cyclo(L-Trp–L-Pro) have been investigated with X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic methods. Cyclo(L-tryptophanyl-L-tryptophanyl)·DMSO solvate crystallized in the space group P2 12121 with cell dimensions a = 6.193(2), b = 11.545(3), c = 31.117(4) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by four hydrogen bonds (three intermolecular hydrogen bonds and one intramolecular bond). The first intermolecular bond is between the oxygen of DMSO and the nitrogen of indole ring 2, in contrast to the second intramolecular hydrogen bond between the nitrogen of indole ring 1 and the oxygen of DMSO. The two remaining intermolecular hydrogen bonds are between the nitrogens of the DKP ring and the carbonyl oxygens of the DKP ring. The values of χ1A 1 (−45.764) and χ1A 2 (67.437) indicate an extended side chain conformation for Trp residue 1 (EN) and a folded conformation for Trp residue 2. The DKP ring is more planar than in other cyclic dipeptide compounds (ϕ1 = 11.414, Ψ1 = −7.516, ϕ2 = 12.471, and Ψ2 = −8.256). In cyclo(L-Trp–L-Trp) the Cβ resonance of L-tryptophan (29.88 ppm) is shifted upfield 0.82 ppm when compared with the same resonance in cyclo(L-Trp–L-Gly) (30.7 ppm) and cyclo(L-Leu–L-Trp) (30.7 ppm). Two conformations of cyclo(Trp–Pro) crystallized in the space group P1 with cell dimensions a = 5.422(1), b = 9.902(1), c = 13.443(2) Å, α = 80.42(1), β = 78.61(1), and γ = 89.13(1)°. The conformation of the backbone and the orientation of the aromatic side chains for these conformers are very similar. The DKP rings for both conformers adopt a typical boat conformation in contrast to the flattened chair conformation observed for cyclo(Tyr–Pro) and cyclo(Phe–F-Pro). The tryptophan side chains of these conformers are folded towards the diketopiperazine (DKP) ring. The pyrrolidine ring for conformer 1 can be described as an envelope (Cs–Cβ-endo) conformation in contrast to the pyrrolidine ring symmetry for conformer 2 which is an intermediate between Cs and C2 rather than pure Cs for the proline ring with Cβ-endo and Cγ-exo with respect to C′. The two prolyl rings are puckered at the β-carbon atoms which deviate from the best planes defined by the four remaining atoms. The crystal structures are stabilized by four intermolecular hydrogens bonds. An intermolecular bond between the nitrogen of the indole ring (conformer 1) and the carbonyl oxygen of the DKP ring (conformer 2) was observed. The second hydrogen bond is between the nitrogen of the indole ring (conformer 2) and the carbonyl oxygen of the DKP ring (conformer 1). The last two hydrogens involve the carbonyl oxygens of the DKP rings and the nitrogens of the DKP rings [carbonyl oxygen of DKP ring (conformer 1)––––nitrogen of DKP ring (conformer 2); nitrogen of DKP ring (conformer 1)––––––carbonyl oxygen of DKP ring (conformer 2)].

    Notes: Abstract A study of lanthanide complexation with isothiocyanate is underway using a multinuclear magnetic resonance technique. For isothiocyanate solutions in water–acetone–Freon mixtures at low temperature, −85–−125°C, ligand exchange is slow enough to permit the observation of 13C and 15N NMR signals for coordinated and free anions. For the Ce3+–NCS− system, four coordinated anion signals, displaced from the free anion signal by about +450 to +550 ppm for 15N and +50 to +80 ppm for 13C, are observed. The 13C and 15N spectral data are complementary, showing a signal area concentration dependence and measured coordination numbers consistent with the formation of Ce(NCS)2+ through Ce(NCS)1- 4. In water–methanol, the extent of complexing is decreased, presumably because of the higher dielectric constant of this medium. In addition, the results of a competitive study of NCS− and Cl− ion binding, carried out using 35Cl NMR, is presented.

    Notes: Abstract   Maleonitrile-dithiacrown ethers mn-12S2O2 - mn-21S2O5 (mn = maleonitrile) are preorganized S2On+1-coronands (n = 1–4) which force B, AB and A class metal ions into mixed S/O coordination spheres. Moreover, they form chelate complexes with MX2 salts (M = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br), which were studied in this paper. The structures of mn-S2On+1 and [PtCl2(mn-S2On+1)] (n = 2, 3) were investigated theoretically by empirical and semiempirical methods using SYBYL (TRIPOS force field) and MSI/DISCOVER97 (ESFF force field). mn-12S2O2 was investigated experimentally by X-ray analysis and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy in solution and the complex formation was studied by 1H, 13C and 195Pt NMR titration experiments, respectively. S-inversion was also investigated in order to determine the ring corresponding interconversional barriers. Different orientations of the macrocyclic ring system mn-18S2O4 and of its transition states are shown.

    Notes: Abstract Solid-state MAS NMR is a powerful technique to study heterogeneous catalysts and the way by which they operate. In situ MAS NMR has been demonstrated to be a powerful method to understand reaction mechanisms, to study the nature, dynamics and reactivity of surface intermediates and active sites, and to characterize structural modifications in the catalyst itself, in particular when using 13C strategically labelled substrates. In this paper, three examples selected from our own work are used to illustrate the potential of in situ MAS NMR. They are the formation of cumene and its isomerization to n-propylbenzene on zeolite H-ZSM-11, the activation of propane at low temperature and the alkylation of benzene with propane on zeolite H-ZSM-5, and the characterization of the aluminophosphate molecular sieve VPI-5 structure with temperature. Studies of the alkylation of benzene with propene confirmed that cumene was the primary reaction product. The undesired n-propylbenzene by-product results from the intermolecular reaction between cumene and benzene, enhanced by molecular shape-selective effects in medium pore size zeolites (e.g., H-ZSM-11). It explains why large pore zeolites, e.g., zeolite Beta, are used commercially today for this process. Propane can be activated at low temperature (ca. 573 K) on bifunctional medium pore size zeolites possessing intimately related acidic Brønsted sites and a dehydrogenation function provided by Ga or Zn species. In Ga/H-ZSM-5 catalysts, at 573 K, the activation of propane was shown to occur via a protonated pseudocyclopropane (PPCP) intermediate (or transition state). The latter evolves in a manner that can be formally described by the formation of CH 3 + , C2H 2 + , and C3H 7 + carbenium ion intermediates. These species can react with olefins, alkanes, or other electron-rich molecules such as benzene. The primary reaction products of the reaction of propane with benzene are n-propylbenzene (in small amount), ethylbenzene and toluene. Their subsequent reactions lead eventually to toluene and xylenes as the final products. In the structural characterization of VPI-5, 27Al, 31P, and 27Al nutation MAS NMR spectra show that, at 294 K, fully hydrated VPI-5 contains three equally populated Al and P crystallographic sites and that one-third of Al is 6-coordinate. The VPI-5 structure then belongs to the P63 space group. Above 353 K, VPI-5, fully or partially hydrated, undergoes a structural transformation to a higher framework symmetry, i.e., the P63cm space group. The transformation occurs at nearly the same temperature in both cases, indicating that the breakdown of the hydrogen-bonded helical water structure inside the VPI-5 pores is not a factor in the process.

    Notes: Abstract With a proper understanding of the nature of solid acidity, zeolites and other solid acids have great potential for replacing homogeneous acids in a wide range of catalytic applications. This paper describes results from our laboratory on the characterization and description of the acid sites in high‐silica zeolites, especially H‐MFI. A crucial observation from this work is the identification of stoichiometric adsorption complexes, one molecule per framework Al, for a wide range of adsorbates, including amines, alcohols, nitriles, ketones, and thiols. Examples are given in which temperature‐programmed desorption is used to identify these complexes and characterize their initial chemistries. Calorimetric measurements on the 1:1 complexes have been used to compare the enthalpies of protonation in the zeolite to enthalpies of protonation in the gas phase and in aqueous phase and to demonstrate that a gas‐phase basis provides better predictive capabilities. The issue of carbenium‐ion stabilities is discussed, as well as the unusual catalytic properties of acid sites formed by framework substitution of Fe. The effect of sorption and cavity size on reactions is described. Finally, the problems associated with trying to define or characterize solid acids by using ammonia TPD or 13C NMR isotropic shifts of ketones without proper consideration of the complicated nature of these techniques are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract  31P-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was used to assess phosphate distribution in ectomycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Castanea sativa Mill. as well as in the mycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius in order to gain insight into phosphate trafficking in these systems. The fungus P. tinctorius accumulated high levels of polyphosphates during the rapid phase of growth. Mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots accumulate orthophosphate. Only mycorrhizal roots presented polyphosphates. The content in polyphosphates increased along the 3 months of mycorrhiza formation. In mycorrhizal roots of plants cultured under axenic conditions, the orthophosphate pool decreased along the culture time. In nonmycorrhizal roots the decrease in the orthophosphate content was less pronounced. The level of orthophosphate in mycorrhizal roots was significantly lower than in nonmycorrhizal ones, which indicates that this system relies upon the fungal polyphosphates as a major source of phosphate.

    Notes: Abstract  In the frame of a broad study on the structural differences between the two redox forms of cytochromes to be related to the electron transfer process, the NMR solution structure of horse heart cytochrome c in the reduced form has been determined. The structural data obtained in the present work are compared to those already available in the literature on the same protein and the presence of conformational differences is discussed in the light of the experimental method employed for the structure determination. Redox-state dependent changes are analyzed and in particular they are related to the role of propionate-7 of the heme. Also some hydrogen bonds are changed upon reduction of the heme iron. A substantial similarity is observed for the backbone fold, independently of the oxidation state. At variance, some meaningful differences are observed in the orientation of a few side chains. These changes are related to those found in the case of the highly homologous cytochrome c from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The exchangeability of the NH protons has been investigated and found to be smaller than in the case of the oxidized protein. We think that this is a characteristic of reduced cytochromes and that mobility is a medium for molecular recognition in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract  Both cis- and trans-RuCl2(DMSO)4 (cis-Ru and trans-Ru) react with ApG, GpA, d(ApG) and d(GpA) to yield products with bifunctional metal coordination of the bases. For each dinucleotide one major product and several minor species are formed. This is in contrast to previous results on analogous reactions between trans-Ru and d(GpG) where a substantial amount of an intermediate species was found. The rates of reaction between dinucleotides and cis-Ru are approximately 20-fold slower than for trans-Ru. The compounds formed with the two isomers exhibit identical proton NMR spectra, suggesting the same coordination mode for ruthenium in the final product. The two purine bases are coordinated to ruthenium through N7 in a head-to-head conformation with the glycosidic angles being in the anti range. Coupling constants indicate a relatively pure 3′-endo conformation for the 5′-sugar and mainly 2′-endo for the 3′-sugar. The similar bifunctional binding mode of cis- and trans-Ru(II) with dinucleotides as evident from the NMR spectra are in contrast to the different mode of interaction suggested earlier for cis- and trans-Ru complexes with DNA. trans-Ru interacts with the deoxyoctanucleotide d(CCTGGTCC), giving two main products during the first 2 h of incubation time. Four H8 guanine resonances are shifted downfield, characteristic of N7 metal coordination. The products are not analyzed in detail, but it is suggested that the structures may be described as two chiral G(N7/N7) chelates.

    Notes: Abstract We have studied the interactions with neutral phospholipid bilayers of FPI, the 23-residue fusogenic N-terminal peptide of the HIV-1LAI transmembrane glycoprotein gp41, by CD, EPR, NMR, and solid state NMR (SSNMR) with the objective of understanding how it lyses and fuses cells. Using small unilamellar vesicles made from egg yolk phoshatidylcholine which were not fused or permeabilised by the peptide we obtained results suggesting that it was capable of inserting as an α-helix into neutral phospholipid bilayers but was only completely monomeric at peptide/lipid (P/L) ratios of 1/2000 or lower. Above this value, mixed populations of monomeric and multimeric forms were found with the proportion of multimer increasing proportionally to P/L, as calculated from studies on the interaction between the peptide and spin-labelled phospholipid. The CD data indicated that, at P/L between 1/200 and 1/100, approximately 68% of the peptide appeared to be in α-helical form. When P/L=1/25 the α-helical content had decreased to 41%. Measurement at a P/L of 1/100 of the spin lattice relaxation effect on the 13C nuclei of the phospholipid acyl chains of an N-terminal spin label attached to the peptide showed that most of the peptide N-termini were located in the interior hydrocarbon region of the membrane. SSNMR on multilayers of ditetradecylphosphatidyl choline at P/Ls of 1/10, 1/20 and 1/30 showed that the peptide formed multimers that affected the motion of the lipid chains and disrupted the lipid alignment. We suggest that these aggregates may be relevant to the membrane-fusing and lytic activities of FPI and that they are worthy of further study.

    Notes: 2 , has RMSD values with respect to the average structure of 0.94 ± 0.14 Å2 and 1.50 ± 0.14 Å2 for the backbone and the heavy atoms, respectively. The overall folding, which includes the classical eight-stranded Greek-key β-barrel and a short α-helix, is very close to that of the previously characterized monomeric mutant E133QM2SOD and to that of wild-type SOD. The region involved in the subunit-subunit interactions in the dimeric protein is confirmed to be disordered in the monomeric species. It is also observed that a sizable rearrangement of the charged groups of the electrostatic loop and of Arg143 takes place in the monomeric species. The width of the active site channel, both at its entrance and at the bottleneck of the active site, is discussed in the light of the influence on the enzymatic activity and the latter with respect to the overall charge. It is also confirmed that the NH proton of His63 shields the Cu(I) from the bulk solvent, thus supporting the suggestion that superoxide may interact with the reduced metal ion in an outer-sphere fashion.

    Notes: Abstract Miscibility and dehydration of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PHEMA/PMAA) blends were investigated by temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC), TG and solid-state 13C NMR methods. TMDSC spectra and 1H spin-relaxation times showed that the blends are homogeneous on a scale of 5-10 nm for all compositions. From TG and 13C NMR, we elucidated that the mass loss of the blends at 300°C is ascribed to the dehydration between the hydroxyl group of PHEMA and the carboxyl group of PMAA.

    Notes: Abstract In a strong magnetic field, nuclei located over a carbon-carbon double bond experience NMR shielding effects that are the net result of the magnetic anisotropy of the nearby double bond and various other intramolecular shielding effects. We have used GIAO, a subroutine in Gaussian 4, to calculate isotropic shielding values and to predict the proton NMR shielding increment for a simple model system: methane held in various orientations and positions over ethene. The average proton NMR shielding increments of several orientations of methane have been plotted versus the Cartesian coordinates of the methane protons relative to the center of ethene. A single empirical equation for predicting the NMR shielding experienced by protons over a carbon-carbon double bond has been developed from these data. The predictive capability of this equation has been validated by comparing the shielding increments for several alkenes calculated using our equation to the experimentally observed shielding increments. This equation predicts the NMR shielding effects more accurately than a previous model that was based on only one orientation of methane over ethene. Deshielding is predicted by this equation for protons over the center and within about 3 Å of a carbon-carbon double bond. This result is in contrast to predictions made by the long-held “shielding cone” model based on the McConnell equation found in nearly every textbook on NMR, but is consistent with experimental observations.

    Notes: Abstract In situ NMR has been extensively applied in the past decade to obtain basic mechanistic information about reactions in heterogeneous catalysis. Most studies in the literature have employed either sealed glass ampoules of catalyst and adsorbate that are heated outside of the NMR probe or variable temperature studies of samples sealed in magic‐angle spinning (MAS) rotors. In situ NMR studies of sealed samples fail to duplicate the conditions of temperature, reagent introduction and product removal found in bench‐top microreactor studies of catalysis. Previous attempts to more closely duplicate the conditions in flow reactors have motivated NMR studies using temperature jumps and the development of MAS probes with reagent flow. These methods have not yet achieved the time scales of several seconds or tenths of seconds that are typical of catalytic reactions. The pulse‐quench catalytic reactor has been developed to permit NMR studies of catalyst samples that have been prepared under actual reaction conditions. Pulse‐quench studies have provided evidence in support of a carbon‐pool mechanism for methanol‐to‐gasoline chemistry on HZSM‐5 and led to the identification of a pentamethylbenzenium cation formed in a zeolite by the alkylation of benzene with excess methanol.

    Notes: Abstract A new, large pore zincosilicate denoted CIT-6 with the framework topology of zeolite beta has been synthesized from reaction mixtures containing Li+, Zn2+ and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as a structure-directing agent (SDA). The effects of the concentrations of Li+, Zn2+ and TEAOH on the preparation of CIT-6 are investigated and it is shown that there are critical ranges in concentration for all three components for the crystallization of pure CIT-6. The incorporation of Zn2+ into the CIT-6 framework is confirmed by 29Si MAS-NMR and ion exchange results. CIT-6 is the first molecular sieve to contain framework zinc sites accessible to organic molecules.

    Notes: Abstract The polymer-to-glass transformation in the Si-C-O system usually involves cross-linking reactions at the C sites, which transform for example ≡Si– $$\underline {\text{C}} $$ H3 sites into $$\underline {\text{C}} $$ (Si)4 sites, leading to the formation of a silicon oxycarbide network. Identification of the various C sites that form during pyrolysis under inert atmosphere is rather difficult from 13C MAS-NMR spectra, due to strong overlap of resonance lines, which prevents an accurate determination of the chemical shift values. This paper reports on the use of a spectral editing technique called Inversion Recovery Cross Polarization (IRCP), which, when combined with Cross Polarization (CP) technique, allows us to identify and quantify the formation of Si- $$\underline {\text{C}} $$ H2-Si bridges during the early stages of the pyrolytic transformation of a polysiloxane containing Si–CH3 and Si–H groups. Several Si-C-O systems characterized by the same initial number of Si–CH3 bonds but with increasing number of Si–H bonds, have been investigated by MAS-NMR as well as thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TG/MS). The Si—H bonds play clearly an active role in the insertion of C atoms within the silica network.

    Notes: Abstract The first attempts to introduce carbon into glass date back to 1951. But up until recently, the use of carbon or carbide raw materials, and the oxidation, volatilization and decomposition that accompany high temperature melting, have limited the synthesis of true silicon oxycarbide glasses. Here, the term silicon-oxycarbide refers specifically to a carbon-containing silicate glass wherein oxygen and carbon atoms share bonds with silicon in the amorphous, network structure. Thus, there is a distinction between black glass, which contains only a second-phase dispersion of elemental carbon, and oxycarbide glasses which usually contain both network carbon and elemental carbon. In addition to exploring the unique properties and applications of these glasses, per se, they are also of interest for developing models of the residual amorphous phases in polymer-derived silicon-carbide and silicon-nitride ceramics. The application of sol/gel techniques to glass synthesis has significantly advanced the development and characterization of silicon oxycarbide glasses. In this approach, alkyl-substituted silicon alkoxides, which are molecular precursors containing oxygen and carbon functionalities on the silicon, can be hydrolyzed and condensed without decomposition or loss of the carbon functional group. A low-temperature (〈1000°C) heat-treatment of the gel creates a glassy silicate material whose molecular structure consists of an oxygen/carbon anionic network. In addition, there is always a blackening of the material due to elemental carbon, which forms during pyrolysis and densification of the gel. The nature of the network carbon, and especially the distribution and form of the elemental carbon, are fundamental to the structure and properties of these novel materials. Their chemical and physical characteristics as revealed by NMR, Raman and TEM are discussed in the overview. In addition, the high temperature stability of these glasses (up to 1750°C), and the effect of hot-pressing, are described. It will be shown that the silicon oxycarbide network is stable up to 1000–1200°C. The network carbon is terminated with hydrogen (i.e., CH, =CH2 and –CH3), and with polyaromatic carbon (i.e., nC6Hx) wherein most of the elemental carbon resides. These glasses can be described as molecular composites of polyaromatic graphene-rings dispersed in a silicon oxycarbide network. After heating to temperatures in excess of 1000–1200°C, the oxycarbide network decomposes through the loss of hydrogen, and a two- or three-phase glass-ceramic consisting of nanocrystalline graphite, silicon carbide, and amorphous silica or cristobalite, is created. Some of the properties and applications of these glasses/glass-ceramics for coatings, composites and porous solids are summarized.

    Notes: Abstract Previously, we showed that quantitatively minor several glycolipids only less than 5% of the lipoteichoic acid (LTA) fraction from Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 possessed cytokine-inducing activity, whereas the major component (over 90%) did not [Suda et al. (1995) FEMS Immun Med Microbiol 12:97–112]. The major inactive component was shown to have the chemical structure as was proposed for the LTA by Fischer [Hashimoto et al. (1997) J Biochem 121:779–86], suggesting that so-called LTA is not a cytokine-inducing component in the Gram-positive bacteria. In the present paper, the structure of the hydrophilic part of one of the cytokine-inducing glycolipid tentatively named GL4 is elucidated. GL4 was first subjected to hydrolysis with aqueous HF to give a polysaccharide and a mixture of low molecular weight products. The polysaccharide was composed mainly of highly branching mannan as concluded from NMR and MS analyses of its acetolysis products. The low molecular weight products consisted of phosphate and glycerol, suggesting the presence of a poly(glycerophosphate) structure in the original GL4. From these observations, the hydrophilic part of GL4 was shown to consist of mannose-rich polysaccharide and poly(glycerophosphate), the latter being bound to the former by a phosphodiester linkage.

    Notes: Abstract Scorpion venom contains various toxins which block ion-channels, responsible for either sodium, potassium, calcium or chloride membrane permeation. This review focuses on the three-dimensional structure of scorpion toxins specific for potassium channels, and on their structure–activity relationships. The overall fold of all these toxins is similar, despite their various specificities towards different types of potassium channels. Fine studies of the influence of punctual mutations of both toxins and channels have converged on a precise description of the scorpion toxins functional maps. From this knowledge, it now becomes possible to predict the specificity of a newly described scorpion toxin. The way is thus now open that leads to the design of new potent synthetic potassium channel blockers which in turn could be used as therapeutic drugs.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Vitamin A (retinol) and its metabolites comprise the natural retinoids. While the biological action of these molecules are thought to be primarily mediated by ca. 55 kDa nuclear retinoic acid receptors, a number of structurally similar 15-20 kDa proteins are involved in the transport, and possibly metabolism, of these compounds. The milk protein β-lactoglobulin B (β-LG) is an 18 kDa protein which binds retinol and may be involved in oral delivery of retinol to neonates. β-LG also binds drugs and other natural products and is of potential interest as a protective delivery vehicle. Methods. To examine the conformation of the model retinoid β-ionone both in solution and when bound to β-LG, NMR and computational methods have been employed. Results. Taken together, NMR studies of β-ionone in solution measuring scalar and dipolar coupling, as well as CHARMm calculations, suggest β-ionone prefers a slightly twisted 6-s-cis conformation. Isotope-edited NMR studies of l3C-labeled β-ionones bound to β-LG, primarily employing the HMQC-NOE experiment, suggest β-ionone also binds to β-LG in its 6-s-cis conformation. Conclusions. The methods employed here allow estimates of protein-bound ligand conformation. However, additional sites of ligand labeling will be necessary to aid in binding site localization.

In the presence of β or γ-cyclodextrins and in buffered basic solution, their solubilities are increased by inclusion in the cavity. The inclusion of these hormones in cyclodextrins was investigated by 1H-NMR in order to derive the influence of the number and position of the iodine atoms, and of the ionization state of the phenol group on the inclusion geometries.

    Notes: Abstract Geometries, NMR chemical shifts, atomic charges, and bond orders were calculated at the MP2/6-31G* level of theory for the isopropyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, benzenonium, and six methyl- and trifluoromethyl-substituted benzenonium ions. The NPA charges correlate better than the CHELPG, MK, and AIM charges with the experimental and calculated carbon chemical shifts. The electrostatic energies of isomeric ions, calculated by treatment of the NPA charges as point charges, are comparable to their MP2 energy differences. The electrostatic calculations, although classical approximations, provide a qualitative understanding of the coulombic basis of the methyl and trifluoromethyl substituent effects. It is apparent that these species are stabilized by having adjacent, oppositely charged atoms (for example, having the negatively charged carbon of a methyl group bonded to a positive carbon). It is proposed that a methyl group be termed a nucleophilic (rather than electron-donating) substituent and that a trifluoromethyl group be termed an electrophilic substituent. In the benzenonium ions and in toluene, fluoromethylbenzene, difluoromethylbenzene, and benzotrifluoride, the endocyclic angle at the substituent increases with increasing electrophilicity of the substituent. An electrostatic calculation again provides some insight into the coulombic basis of these changes.

    Notes: Abstract 59Co NMR studies of multilayers are able to give three direct pieces of information: (i) the crystal phase of Co, fcc (217.4 MHz), hcp (220–228 MHz) and in exotic cases bcc (198 MHz) for films measured at T= 4.2 K, (ii) the nature of the interfaces from low frequency satellite lines, and (iii) the strain state deduced from small changes in the line positions. Extensive studies of Co/Cu multilayer interfacial structures as a function of deposition technique, layer thickness, substrate/buffer layer structure and annealing temperature have been undertaken. This work has shed new light on the relationship between interfacial structure and magnetoresistance and in particular has demonstrated that flat, atomic scale, interfaces lead to greater magnetoresistance. The difference between the Co and Cu lattice constant results in an extensive, tensile in-plane strain developing in Co layers provided that some epitaxial registry is present. Information on strain effects can be obtained from the position and width of the NMR lines. The magnetic anisotropy field can be determined by measuring the field dependence of the enhancement effect due to electronic magnetisation. This provides unique insight into the distribution of magnetic anisotropy within the Co layers, as the enhancement can be investigated independently for each NMR line and, hence, provides environment specific information on magnetic anisotropy at the interfaces and in the interior of the layers.

    Notes: Summary Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic and nephrocacinogenic mycotoxin commonly produced by several ubiquitousAspergillus andPenicillium species. OTA is found predominantly in cereals and derived products, and therefore OTA may be transferred into beer from contaminated grain. Thirty-five samples of German beers were analyzed: OTA was extracted with toluene and purified by solid phase extraction using silica cartridges. OTA was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Since of fluorescence detection is not specific in this instance, the beer samples were also analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). OTA levels in the range of 0.1–0.2 μg L−1 were found in 9 beer samples, 21 samples contained trace amounts of OTA (〈0.1 μg L−1) and in 5 samples no OTA was detectable.

    Notes: Summary Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic antibiotic isolated fromStreptomyces peucetius var.cesius clinically used in the treatment of tumors such as lung or breast, Hodgkin's disease and various types of leukemias. The main goal of this study was to develop a simple and sensitive HPLC method with fluorescence detection for the quantitation of doxorubicin in cell culture media collected during an in vitro studies and in human plasma. Solid phase extraction (C2 silica) was applied. The experiment established five-point standard curve (1 ng mL−1 to 100 ng mL−1). The standard curves prepared in blank cell tissue media were linear over the range of doxorubicin assayed and had a mean correlation coefficient of 0.9973±9.43×10−4 and slope 0.02545±1.85×10−3. The standard curves prepared in human plasma were linear and had mean correlation coefficient of 0.997 and slope 0.01885±5.19×10−4. The limit of quantitation for doxorubicin in both specimens was arbitrarily established to be 1 ng mL−1. Intra-day variabilities were determined using 3–4 replicates of control solutions of doxorubicin (3 ng mL−1 and 30 ng mL−1) in blank plasma and cell culture media. Inter-day variabilities were determined over a four day period analyzing replicates of controls. All precision and accuracy values fell within the acceptable range.

    Notes: Summary Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most abundant human proteins and has been shown to be heterogeneous. A RP-HPLC method has been developed to separate HSA components in commercially available preparations. Separations were carried out on Aquapore RP-300, C8 columns using gradient elution with a combination of acetonitrile/water mobile phases containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid as ion-pairing agent. Optimum resolution was attained on narrow-bore columns using a stepwise, linear gradient that incorporated a shallow intermediate step of 0.20%/min in Mobile Phase B. Under similar elution conditions, separations carried out on standard-size columns showed the expected decrease in resolution due to increased peak widths. A comparative analysis of three commercial products highlighted qualitative and quantitative differences. Capillary zone electrophoresis was used for the analysis of collected RP-HPLC fractions. Results indicated that while the HPLC separation was incomplete, one of the major HPLC peaks was primarily composed of one of the three main components typically separated by CZE. ESI-MS was used to characterize the two major RP-HPLC fractions and also showed that the HPLC separation was incomplete. The MaxEnt transform of the HPLC peaks was consistent with components all being HSA and closely related derivatives.

    Notes: Summary One classical method for quantitation of amino acids in proteins is hydrolysis of the proteins and determination of the free amino acids. Although the drastic experimental conditions necessary for complete hydrolysis always cause degradation of some of the amino acids, if mild hydrolysis conditions are used, a mixture of amino acids and oligopeptides is obtained. If these conditions are adequately tuned, the oligopeptides are almost exclusively dipeptides. For this reason we have initiated a study to find a derivatizing agent suitable for the analysis of amino acids and dipeptides by an absolute method of quantitation already tested for amino acids. FMOC-Cl was found to be a suitable derivatizing agent for this purpose.

The average recoveries from spiked samples (0.1 μg g−1 and 1.0 μg g−1) were in excess of 80.2% with coefficients of variation between 1.5 and 5.0%. The limits of detection for OTC and SDD were 0.05 and 0.02 μg g−1, respectively.

Satisfactory resolution of oligomers up to M of 3000 was accomplished; the higher M samples PEG-4000 and PEG-6000 could not be further resolved into the constituent oligomers and therefore, M=4000 marks the upper limit of oligomer resolution. Despite some peak overlapping as a consequence of the more or less broad oligomer distribution, individual types of PEG samples can be distinguished from each other by their characteristic chromatographic fingerprint patterns, as shown with a mixture consisting of PEG-400, PEG-1000, PEG-3000, PEG-4000 and PEG-6000. For this reason, the method is well-suited for characterization of samples containing PEGs widely differing in M. In addition, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF/MS) performed with PEG-600, PEG-1000 and PEG-3000 revealed that the optimum degree of oligomer resolution has been achieved by use of the present method.

    Notes: Summary The enantiomers of primary amino compounds have previously been resolved on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) CSP-18C6I, prepared by immobilizing (+)-18-crown-6 tetracarboxylic acid. In this study related chiral stationary phases were prepared in an effort to broaden the scope of CSP18C6I. CSP-18C6II, synthesized to investigate the effect of spacer length, resolved the enantiomers of 2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1-NEA) (hydrophobic amino compounds) with the largerk values and smaller α values than on CSP-18C6I, probably because of the greater hydrophobicity of CSP-18C6II. Use of CSP-18C6III, synthesized by modification of carboxylic acid functionality of CSP-18C6II by introduction of another chiral moiety,S-1-NEA, resulted in larger α values for 2-amino-1-phenylethanol and 2-amino-1-phenylpropanol than on CSP-18C6II, but the enantiomers of 1-NEA were not resolved, because of steric hindrance between 1-NEA and the chiral moiety. The amide derivativeN-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylamine (DNN) as π-acceptor (3,5-dinitrobenzoyl function) or π-donor (naphthylethylamide function), and no primary amino functionality, was resolved on CSP-18C6III. The mechanism of separation of the enantiomers of DNN was assumed to be the π−π interaction between the 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl function (π-acceptor) of DNN and theS-1-NEA moiety (π-donor) of CSP-18C6III.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive LC method for the determination of alcohols, using fluorescent condensation agent carbazole-9-N-acetylbenzne-disulfonate(CABS), has been developed. A mixture of alcohols and triethylamine catalyst in dichloromethane or chloroform is treated with CABS to give quantitative yields of esters. Emission maximum for the derivatized alcohols is 365 nm (λex 335 nm). The labeled derivatives are very stable, no significant decomposition is observed after heating in 40% at 40°C for 24 h. The method, in conjunction with a multigradient program, offers baseline resolution of common alcohol derivatives on a reversed-phase C18 column. Studies on derivatization conditions indicate that primary and secondary alcohols react very fast with CABS in the presence of triethylamine in dichloromethane or chloroform to give the corresponding fluorescent derivatives. This method is more convenient and more efficient than previous methods which require prior conversion of carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides. The separation of alcohol derivatives has good reproducibility and the rsd's (n=5) for 50 pmol of each alcohol are 4%. Detection limits are at the fmol level.

    Notes: Summary Racemic jasmonic acid (3R,7R/3S,7S)-(±)-JA) was chemically conjugated with different biogenic amines originating from aliphatic and aromatic α-amino acids by decarboxylation. The resulting isomeric compounds were subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and to HPLC on the chiral stationary phases Chiralpak AS and Nucleodex β-PM. Under reversed-phase conditions, all the homologous amine derivatives tested could be separated from each other except the JA-conjugates containing 2-phenyl-ethylamine and 3-methylbutylamine. On both chiral supports the (3R,7R)-(−)-JA conjugates eluted earlier than those of the enantiomeric counterpart (3S,7S)-(+)-JA. On Chiralpak AS all the isomers studied could be separated to baseline with a mobile phase containingn-hexane and 2-propanol. The calculated resolution factors were between 1.80 and 4.17. The pairs of isomers were also chromatographed on the cyclodextrin stationary phase Nucleodex β-PM with methanol-triethylammonium acetate buffer as mobile phase. Under these conditions resolution factors were between 0.74 and 1.29. The individual isomers were chiroptically characterized by measurement of their circular dichroism.

The lanthanum content was determined by HPLC (x=5.09, 9.78, 14.98, 19.81 and 25.94) and NA (x=5.15, 10.32, 17.25, 21.08 and 27.97) analyses, the yttrium content by HPLC (x=8.5, 13.5, 17.9 and 22.1) and XRF (x=9.9, 15.8, 20.1 and 24.9) analyses. An experimental sequence, based on continuous dilution of ceramic powder solutions, is proposed for preparing samples for HPLC measurements. A swimming pool nuclear reactor is used for NA analysis. The quantitative determinations of yttrium and lanthanum doping levels obtained using those techniques are described.

The immobilization process and the stability of this α-chymotrypsin stationary phase have been studied. The mobile phase parameters including the ionic strength, pH and the effects of organic modifiers have been also investigated. The retention, efficiency and stereoselectivity of the solutes appear to be related to their molecular structure, hydrophobicity and electrostatic interactions. These relationships determine the recognition mechanism and the position of each enantiomer in the active site.

    Notes: Summary The conditions for reaction of the branched polyfluoroalkylsilane D3CL with silica gel have been examined. From elemental analyses and29Si NMR spectra it was found that the surface coverage and endcapping of D3CL-coated silica gel (Fluofix®) were the same as for ODS packings. The separation behavior of these phases was compared that of a variety of other packings. For polyaromatic compounds and benzene derivatives Fluofix worked in the reversed-phase mode and its retention characteristics were similar to those of C1 or CN packings. For fluorinated compound the retention characteristics of the phases is similar to those of ODS although with MeOH-water and MeCN-water mobile phases the pressure loss was lower for the fluorinated phases than for ODS.

The relative elution positions of galactose, glucose and mannose were dependent on the sodium hydroxide concentrations, a phenomenon which was likely to be the result of differential ionisation of the hydroxyl groups at ring positions two and four. The optimal resolution of the monosaccharides studied was achieved by elution with 30 mM sodium hydroxide with no appreciable loss in sensitivity at this low concentration.

    Notes: Summary Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of fatty alcohol sulfates under reflux condition or by microwave heating is compared. Microwave hydrolysis turned out to be faster and more convenient to use. The combination of reflux hydrolysis of fatty alcohol sulfates or alkyl polyglycosides and the simultaneous steam distillation of the generated fatty alcohols gives a very powerful sample preparation and enrichment method for fatty alcohol sulfates and alkyl polyglycosides. The preconcentrated fatty alcohols are derivatized and detected via fluorescence detection. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by the analysis of fatty alcohol sulfates in cosmetics and in river water as matrices spiked with approximately 4 ppb fatty alcohol sulfates.

    Notes: Summary The use of hydrophobic-interaction chromatography (HIC) is proposed for the simultaneous determination of more than one thiol-protein after formation of the corresponding mercury mercaptides withp-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB). The new chromatographic procedure, based on the HIC separation of the modified proteins from each other and from excess organomercury reagent has been successfully applied to the quantitative determination of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and phosphoglucose mutase (PGM) in crude PGI powder, and of L-lactate dehydrogenase, PGM and aldolase in crude pyruvate kinase from rabbit muscle. The suitability of203Hg-labelled PHMB has been tested in the analysis of mixtures, which give barely distinguishable UV-peaks owing to the presence of other non-thiol components in the sample. For this purpose glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDHy) and PGIy from bakers yeast have been considered. Results obtained in experiments performed by both procedures are reported.

The performance of Chiralcel OF was superior to that of the other CSPs for resolution of benzophenone imine derivatives of amino acid ethyl and methyl esters. The enantiomers of most of the amino acid esters examined as their benzophenone imine derivatives were resolved to baseline on Chiralcel OF. The L-(−) enantiomers of all the analytes were preferentially retained on Chiralcel OF. The resolution of several imine derivatives of amino acid esters was investigated, as was the effect of eluent composition on the resolution of amino acid ethyl esters as their benzophenone imine derivatives.

    Notes: Summary A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with amperometric detection has been developed for the determination of levels of clozapine (CLZ) and its active metabolite N-desmethylclozapine (DMC) in human plasma. The analysis was performed on a 5 μm C8 reversed phase column (150×4.6 mm i.d.), with acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH 3.5), as the mobile phase. The detection voltage was +800 mV and the cell and column temperature were 50°C. Linear responses were obtained between 2 ng mL−1 and 100 ng mL−1. Absolute recovery for both clozapine and desmethylclozapine exceeded 88% and the detection limit was 1 ng mL−1. Repeatability, intermediate precision and accuracy were satisfactory. The method, which is rapid, sensitive and selective, has been applied to therapeutic drug monitoring in schizophrenic patients following administration of Leponex® tablets. In 21 patients in steady state at a mean daily clozapine dosage of 358 mg (ranging from 150 to 500 mg day−1), clozapine levels averaged 379 ng mL−1 (ranging from 102 to 818 ng mL−1) and DMC levels averaged 233 ng mL−1 (ranging from 70 to 540 ng mL−1). The method requires only a very small amount of plasma (100 μL), and thus it is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies, as well as for therapeutic drug monitoring.

The emission maxima for ARC, CRA, CRP, and MCRA were 430 nm (λex 404 nm), 368 nm (λex 335 nm), 356 nm (λex 340 nm) and 360 nm (λex 330 nm), respectively. The effects of mobile-phase composition, pH, and temperature on the liquid chromatographic retention behavior of the four fluorescence agents were investigated. An experimental model was established for calculating the inclusion constants of cyclodextrin (CD) complexes in the dynamic state, using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as examples, and different mobilephase compositions. On the basis of the model, the inclusion constants of the solutes in pure water (K fw) were determined by extrapolation. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH o and ΔS o) and dissociation constantsK am for the solutes in this chromatographic system were obtained by means of capacity factor (k) values using a corresponding model formulation.

    Notes: Summary The effect of triethylamine (TEA) in the mobile phase on the RPLC retention behavior of small organic solutes has been studied on a conventional polymeric octadecylsilica (ODS) and on a horizontally polymerized ODS. Retention factors for a set of solutes were measured on the two phases with methanol-water mobile phases containing triethylamine at different concentrations and analyzed by use of linear solvation energy relationships (LSER). Variation of the resulting LSER coefficients—v (hydrophobicity),r (polarizability),s (dipolarity),b (hydrogen-bond (HB) donating acidity), anda (HB accepting strength)—were examined to see how TEA affects the intermolecular interaction properties of the mobile and stationary phases and hence the retention of the solutes. Addition of TEA to the mobile phase changes the interaction properties of both conventionally polymerized and horizontally polymerized ODS; the effect is greater for the conventional phase. The HB donating acidity (b) of conventional polymeric ODS is significantly reduced by addition of TEA. For the mobile phases studied the magnitudes of theb andv coefficients for the horizontally polymerized ODS phase are greater than for the conventional phase. The different interaction properties of the two polymeric phases arise mainly as a result of differential adsorption of TEA, because of the very different amounts of surface silanol groups present on the two phases.

Microwave hydrolysis of microcystins and nodularin for as little as 10 min at 160°C results in complete cleavage of peptide bonds and high recoveries of amino acids.

    Notes: Summary Two different methods have been used to investigate the retention mechanism of a series of imidazole derivatives in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) over a range of column temperatures and with different concentrations of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in the mobile phase. The first approach was the separate study of each factor affecting the retention mechanism; the second method was the simultaneous variation of all these factors. Changes in Van't Hoff plots as a function of HP-β-CD concentration were examined. Enthalpy and entropy were determined for two physicochemical processes: (i) solute transfer from the mobile phase to the stationary phase, and (ii) solute complexation by HP-β-CD. These thermodynamic data showed that the mechanism of retention of the solute was dependent on the concentration of HP-β-CD in the mobile phase. For a HP-β-CD concentration,C, greater than to 4 mM, from 28°C to a critical temperature,T *, solute retention was entropy-dominated because of inclusion of the solute in the HP-β-CD cavity. AboveT * retention was enthalpy-dominated, because of interaction of the solute with the RP18 stationary phase. At firstT * increased asC was increased up to a critical value,C **; it the remained relatively constant because of auto-association of the HP-β-CD molecules in the mobile phase. Enthalpy-entropy compensation revealed that HP-β-CD-solute complexation had a greater effect on retention than RP18 stationary phase-solute interaction. This confirms that the main parameter determining retention in RPLC is the distribution of the solute in the mobile phase, and that interactions with the stationary phase play a minor role.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes the development of a chromatographic system for analysis of commercial ceramides structurally similar to those found in the stratum corneum. The ceramides used in this study contain different amine based (phytosphingosine, sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine) and fatty acids of different chain lengths and with different functional groups (hydroxylated and unsaturated). Non-aqueous reversed-phase (NARP) liquid chromatography with evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD) were the techniques chosen in accordance with the nature of the ceramides. The eluent strength and the potential selectivity of different organic solvents were investigated. On a C18-bonded silica, the most promising chromatographic conditions employed a gradient from ACN-THF, 95∶5, to ACN-THF-PrOH, 35∶5∶60, in 15 min with a constant concentration of TEA (10 mM) and a stoichiometric amount of formic acid.

    Notes: Summary High-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection was used to determine the residues of flupoxam (a new herbicide) in soils. Soil samples were extracted with aqueous methanol. The soil extracts were cleaned up and concentrated using two solid phase extraction columns: a polymeric stationary phase based on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (Lichrolut EN) and alumina. Recovery experiments were performed at ppb levels in spiked soil samples. The recovery was 76±1.7% for flupoxam in the range 5–100 μg kg−1 of soil. Limit of determination was 3 μg kg−1.

    Notes: Summary The resolution of the enantiomers of a series of glycidyl sulfides and glycidyl selenides has been examined on a chiral stationary phase prepared by coating aminopropylated silica gel with amylose tris-(phenylcarbamate). Most of the enantiomers of glycidyl monosulfides and monoselenides could be resolved satisfactorily but those of the disulfides could not. The effects of solute structure and of the concentration of 2-propanol in the mobile phase on retention and resolution were investigated.

    Notes: Summary We have developed a simple, rapid, selective and sensitive method for detecting the antitumour agent cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) (CDDP) and its toxic impurities trans-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (transplatin) (TDDP) amminetri-chloroplatinat (ATCP) anion using HPLC in one run. By using 4-methyl-2-thiouracil (MTU) as a derivatizing agent, new compounds have been formed from the Pt compounds and separated on a μ-Bondapak C18 column with isocratic elution and detection at 315 nm. Reactant concentration, methanol content, pH and the reaction time on yield of derivatives were investigated and the optimum conditions for the detection response were defined. The derivatives of each of the three platinum compounds formed in an acetate buffer solution containing 40% (v/v) methanol and 0.9% KCl solution at pH 3.7 and ambient temperature were only stable for one hour.

    Notes: Summary Increased retention of digoxin has been observed at elevated temperatures on both 10 nm and 30 nm porediamter, RP-18 packing. This result is the opposite effect compared with the decreased retention under the same conditions with digoxin aglycon-digoxigenin. Rotation around the C−C σ-bonds in the digoxin molecule is presumed; the rod-like molecules of the newlyobtained digoxin penetrate stationary phase pores more easily thus increasing retention.

    Notes: Summary An all solid-state contact tubular PVC-matrix membrane electrode has been applied for potentiometric detection of inorganic and organic monovalent anions using phosphate and hydrogen phosphate eluents at low concentrations. This is a “monovalent detection method” as the selectivity of the electrode towards monovalent anions results in some other anions being undetected unless the concentration of those other anions is higher than 10−3 mol dm−3 in the sample solution injected. It takes only eight minutes to complete the separation with a good resolution. Theoretical and practical considerations are discussed, and in particular, sensitivity, linearity, detection limit and dynamic behaviour are presented. The use of an all solid-state contact bromide-selective electrode as a detector offers so far the best simultaneous sensitivity toward all anions when compared with other detection methods. Determination of Cl− and NO3 − ions in river, rain and drinking water samples without any further sample preconcentration has been successfully achieved. The detection limit is sub-ppb for most of anions in a 20 μL injection volume.

    Notes: Summary Short- and long-chain triacylglycerols (SLCT) are a family of lipids prepared by chemical or enzymatic interesterification of triacetin, tripropionin and/or tributyrin, and long-chain (C16!18) hydrogenated vegetable oils. In this study, a normal-phase cyanopropyl high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the separation and quantification of SLCT. The method is capable of separating SLCT mixtures, free fatty acids and the neutral lipid classes of saturated long-chain triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols and monoacylglycerols. To characterize the specific SLCT classes, a normal-phase HPLC procedure using a non-modified silica column was developed to separate the SLCT into individual isomers based on total carbon number and position of fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. Online coupling with a mass detector (LC/MS) allowed the identification of the individual triacylglycerol structures.

    Notes: Summary The structure of a C18 phase based on titania (C18-A), synthesized by the method of solution polymerization, is investigated by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The findings are compared with the results of a second C18 phase based on titania (C18-B) which was synthesized by the method of surface hydrosilation. The dynamic behavior of both phases is examined by1H MAS NMR detection of spinlattice relaxation times in the rotating frame (T1pH) and conventional spin-lattice relaxation times (T1). Due to a smaller ligand density, phase C18-A appears to be a somewhat more mobile than phase C18-B. The chromatographic capability of the phase C18-A is demonstrated by the separation of samples containing benzene derivates or anilines. The elution order is analogous to the phase C18-B, but for both test mixtures the polarity of the mobile phase has to be increased. Phase C18-A is classified as being polymeric by the Sander and Wise test, whereas phase C18-B shows intermediate retention behavior.

    Notes: Summary HPLC coupled in parallel to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to obtain1H NMR and mass spectra of a number of ecdysteroids present in an extract of the plantSilene otites. Reversed phase gradient chromatography was performed using a D20-acetonitrile-based solvent system. NMR and mass spectra were obtained for integristerone A, 20-hydroxyecdysone, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone and 2-deoxyecdysone to provide structural confirmation using continuous and stopped flow HPLC-NMR. The combined HPLC-NMR-MS system described here provided a more comprehensive analysis of the ecdysteroids present in the extract than HPLC-NMR alone.

    Notes: Summary By using factor analysis, cluster analysis and multiple linear regression methods, two parameters, FHF and ECCR, were selected from eight solute-related structure parameters as showing the best correlation with retention data. The relationship between the retention data (k) and these two structure parameters were established for ten O-alkyl, O-(1-methylthioethylideneamino) phosphoramidate compounds under the experimental conditions studied. Retention data (k) for six other compounds that have a high correlation with structure parameters were predicted using these QSRR equations. The system was evaluated by comparing the experimentalk values with the predicted ones. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental and predictedk values.

    Notes: Abstract In addition to the nine compounds identified in the interdigital secretion of the bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, in a previous study, 76 compounds belonging to different compound types, were identified in the interdigital secretions of the bontebok and the blesbok, D. d. phillipsi. These compounds include alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, fatty acids, terpenoids, γ-lactones, an isopropyl ester, long-chain hydroxyesters, 2-substituted pyridines, phenols, steroids, and dimethylsulfone. No qualitative differences were found between secretions from the two sexes or from animals from different habitats. Although no attempt was made to correlate territorial behavior or other behavioral phenomena with the qualitative composition of interdigital secretions from individual animals, available information seems to indicate that quantitative differences probably do not have a major semiochemical function. Only two species of bacteria, Bacillus brevis and Planococcus citreus, were found in the interdigital pouches of male and female members of the two subspecies, regardless of the habitat of the animals. B. brevis synthesized, among other unidentified constituents, (Z)-3-penten-2-ol, 2-hexanone, 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, tetradecanoic acid, pentadecanoic acid, heptadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, (Z)-9-hexadecenoic acid, and isopropyl hexadecanoate in vitro, while P. citreus produced, among others, the γ-lactones dodecan-4-olide and (Z)-6-dodecen-4-olide, which is one of the major constituents of the interdigital secretions of both subspecies. Some components of the interdigital secretions are not present in the interdigital glandular tissue, and the possibility is discused that these compounds could be produced by microbiological activity in the interdigital pouch.

    Notes: Abstract The formation of molecular complexes with 1 : 1 stoichiometry between 2,4,6-trinitrophenol and aza-12-crown-4, aza-15-crown-5 and aza-18-crown-6 in chloroform solution was investigated spectrophotometrically. The resulting complexes were isolated and characterized by microchemical analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The equilibrium constants of the 1 : 1 adducts were evaluated from the non-linear least-squares fitting of the absorbance-mole ratio data. The overall stability of the 2,4,6-trinitrophenol complexes was found to vary in the order aza-15-crown-5 〉 aza-18-crown-6 ≈ aza-12-crown-4. The kinetics of complex formation between 2,4,6-trinitrophenol and the aza-substituted crown ethers used were investigated and in all cases the results showed the occurrence of an oscillating chemical reaction in solution.

Compound 2 crystallized with a molecule of acetic acid in the P-1(#2) space group (Z = 2) and with cell dimensions a = 6.303(2), b = 9.779(1), c = 15.528(3) Å, α = 101.46(2), β = 100.71(2) and γ = 90.21(2)°. This study reveals the formation of an α-acetoxy propenoic acid with a trans extended side acid side chain conformation. The 1H and 13C NMR spectral values of 2 also show the existence of the enolic ester in solution.

    Notes: Abstract The para acetate ester azlactone of vanillin 2 was synthesized from vanillin 1 and hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide. The yielded product 3 was investigated with X-ray Crystallographic and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Compound 3 crystallized in the orthorhombic Pbca space group (Z = 8) and with cell dimensions a = 14.732(2), b = 12.756(3), c = 12.747(6)Å revealing the enolate tautomer and not the keto form of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid as the acetate ester. The structure exhibited the pyruvic acid side chain in the trans extended conformation. A single proton on the benzylic carbon atom further suggested the existence of the enolate tautomer form of 3 in solution. The chemical shift values and peak integration in the NMR spectra add additional support to this finding.

Compound 3 crystallized in the P21/c (#14) space group (Z = 4) with cell dimensions a = 9.148(2), b = 22.938(2), c = 6.707(1) Å, and β = 111.50(2)°. The X-ray study shows that azlactone 3 exists as the Z-isomer and crystallizes as a planar structure, i.e., both the phenyl and azlactone ring systems, as well as the functional groups attached to them, lie in the same plane. The 1H and 13C NMR spectral values also support the formation of the Z-isomer only, during the synthesis of 4-(2-chloro-4,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-5-oxazolone.

    Notes: Abstract The copper(II) complex of 3,5-diisopropylsalicylate is a lipophilic water-insoluble binuclear complex, Cu(II) (3,5-DIPS) , that has attracted interest because of a wide range of pharmacological activities. This study was undertaken to examine bonding interactions between the complex and human serum albumin (HSA) to help elucidate the mode of transport of the complex in vivo. Electron paramagnetic resonance, numerical magnetic resonance and UV-visible absorption spectroscopic studies were performed using 200 μM aqueous solutions (pH 7.5) of HSA to which had been added up to three molar equivalents of CuCl , CuSO , or Cu(II) (3,5-DIPS). Both EPR and UV-visible spectra demonstrated the presence of more than one copper bonding site on HSA, and proton NMR spectra showed that the 3,5-DIPS ligand is also bonded to HSA. These results indicate that there is no observable direct coordination of the ligand to copper in the presence of HSA, and that the majority of the copper and 3,5-DIPS bond to HSA at separate sites. Addition of solid Cu(II) (3,5-DIPS) to HSA at pH 7.5 similarly resulted in spectra that suggest that there are no ternary Cu(II)(3,5-DIPS), Cu(II)(3,5-DIPS) , or Cu(II) (3,5-DIPS) complexes formed with HSA. It is concluded that any ternary complexes formed in the presence of HSA are below the spectroscopic detection limits and represent less than 5% of the total copper. © Rapid Science 1998.
