    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wird über Untersuchungen an Legierungen aus isotaktischem Polypropylen und EPDM-Elastomer berichtet, die mit hochenergetischen Elektronen bestrahlt worden waren. Die Mischungsverhältnisse in den Proben überstrichen sowohl den für elastomermodifizierte Thermoplaste typischen Bereich als auch den der thermoplasticschen Elastomeren. Eine Vernetzung der Komponenten über die Grenzfläche hinweg wurde nachgewiesen. Diese grenzflächenübergreifende Vernetzung bewirkte eine merkliche Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften insbesondere des thermoplastischen Elastomeren.
    Notizen: Blends of isotactic polypropylene and EPDM rubber have been treated by electron irradiation in the composition range of rubber modification and in the thermoplastic rubber composition range as well. Mutual crosslinking of the components through the interface could be detected. This intercrosslinking caused a remarkable improvement of the mechanical properties particularly of the thermoplastic rubber.

    Notizen: The mechanisms of photooxidation usually envisaged, are perfected by taking into account photoreactions of peroxy radicals. They involve interaction of a peroxy radical with the polymer to yield a hydroperoxy radical and a pair of macroradicals. After peroxidation, this pair will usually undergo bimolecular termination. The influence of such a reaction on photooxidation kinetics is particularly important for polyethylene. Then, chain termination occurs mainly by interaction of two hydroperoxy radicals or of a hydroperoxy radical with a macroperoxy radical. The reaction does not only affect kinetics of photooxidation but also the nature of the photooxidation products. The latter is more important for polypropylene than for polyethylene.

    Notizen: Isothermal Differential Thermal Analysis was used to test the thermooxidative stability of pipes of polybutene during internal pressure tests at 110°C. At low hoop stresses and long testing times pipe failure was exclusively caused by thermooxidative degradation of the polymer.The stabilizer distribution in the initial state and its alteration during the pressure tests could easily be measured by isothermal DTA. Leaching of antioxidants from pipe walls could be detected. The decrease of residual thermooxidative stability was degressive.Degradation of pipe material started from the exterior pipe wall. Molecular weight of polybutene decreased rapidly after stabilizer exhaustion which could be observed by isothermal DTA.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Morphologie von Polypropylen-Spritzgußteilen mit Bindenaht wurde mit Röntgenweit-und Kleinwinkelstreuung, Lichtstreuung und Polarisationsmikroskopie untersucht. Die erhaltenen morphologischen Daten wurden mit mechanischen Werten aus Zugversuchen korreliert. Es wird gefunden, daß die mechanischen Eigenschaften der untersuchten Proben im wesentlichen von der sphärolithstruktur beeinflußt werden. Anhäufungen von Sphärolithen mit Kristallen der hexagonalen β-Modifikation und eine starke Inhomogenität der Sphärolithstruktur senkrecht zur Bindenaht sind der wesentliche Grund für die verschlechterten mechanischen Eigenschaften. Diese Sphärolithstruktur wird durch die Temperatur des Spritzgußwerkzeugs stark beeinflußt. Die Lamellen-Überstruktur hat dagegen einen vernachlässigbar kleinen Einfluß auf das mechanische Verhalten.
    Notizen: The morphology of polypropylene plaques containing a weld line, has been investigated by x-ray wide and small angle scattering, light scattering and polarization microscopy. The results are correlated to mechanical values obtained from tensile tests. While the lamellar morphology is of neglectable influence, it is found, that the mechanical properties of the samples are strongly influenced by the spherulitic structure. Clustering of β-type spherulites and strong morphological inhomogeneities in the vicinity of the weld line are the primary reason for the mechanical weakening of the plaques. The temperature of the mould has a strong effect on the spherulitic structure and thus on the tensile properties of the samples.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Füllstoffe für PVC- und PP-Formmassen wurden mit Mikrowellenplasma behandelt. Photoakustische FT-IR-Spektren zeigen, daß die Plasma-Polymerhülle auf der Füllstoffoberfläche —C=C—, —CH2—, CH3— und andere Gruppen enthält. Aus Röntgenelektronenspektren geht hervor, daß zwischen Siliciumdioxid und der organischen Beschichtung chemische Bindungen existieren. Durch Compoundieren von plasmabehandelten Füllstoffen mit PVC und PP werden Materialien mit guten mechanischen Eigenschaften bei niedrigen Kosten erhalten.
    Notizen: Fillers for PVC and PP compounds have been treated by microwave plasma. FT-IR photoacoustic spectroscopy studies show that the plasma polymer sheath on filler's surface contains —C=C—, —CH2—, —CH3 groups, etc. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal that interfacial chemical bondings exist between silica and the organic coating. Application of plasma-treated fillers in PVC and PP compounds gives rise to materials of good mechanical properties and low cost.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Poly-(alkylenadipat)-diole mit Molmassen von 1500, 2000 und 3000 wurden bei Temperaturen von 25 und 60°C in Gegenwart verschiedener Alkohole und unterschiedlicher PUR-Katalysatoren (1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan (DABCO), Dibutylzinndilaurat (DBTL),Dibutylzinndiethoxid (DBTEO) und Dibutylzinnoxid (DBTO)) in Ethylacetat bzw. Toluol gelagert und die Alkoholyse verfolgt. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse werden mit dem Alkoholyseverhalten verschiedener Dialkyladipate sowie des Lösungsmittels Ethylacetat unter den selben Bedingungen verglichen. Die Alkoholyse verlauft in Gegenwart der zinnorganischen Verbindungen etwa mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit, ohne daß diese selbst signifikant zersetzt werden, wahrend DABCO praktisch inaktiv ist. Die Aktivitat der Alkohole ist starker von ihrer sterischen Struktur als von ihrer Basizitat abhangig. Die Stabilität der Polyalkylenadipate gegenüber einer Umesterung nimmt mit der Lange der Diolalkyleneinheiten des Polyols zu. Die Umesterung von Adipinsäuredialkylestern findet auch partiell in Anwesenheit eines großen Uberschusses an Ethylacetat statt.
    Notizen: Poly(alkylene adipate)diols having molar masses of 1500, 2000 and 3000 were stored at temperatures of 25 and 60°C in the presence of low amounts of different alcohols and some polyurethane (PUR) catalysts, such as dibutyltindilaurate (DBTL), dibutyltindiethoxide (DBTEO), dibutyltinoxide (DBTO), and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Alcoholysis was studied using either ethyl acetate (EA) or toluene as solvent. The results were compared with those obtained by examining the behaviour of several dialkyl adipates and ethyl acetate under identical conditions. The alcoholysis in the presence of the tin catalysts proceeds at the same reaction rate without significant decomposition of the catalyst, whereas DABCO is practically inactive. The nucleophilic activity of the alcohols depends on their bulk size rather than their basicity. The resistance of polyalkylene adipates to transesterification increases with the increasing alkyl chain length of diol units in polyester. A partial transesterification of dialkyl adipates takes place too, in spite of ethyl acetate being present in excess.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wurde das Permeations- und Trennverhalten von Alkohol/Wasser-Systemen durch poröse PVA-Membranen untersucht. PVA-Membranen mit unterschiedlicher Anzahl und Große von Poren wurden über Mischungen in Lösung mit verschiedenen synthetisierten Polymeren und Copolymeren, wie Polyacrylsäure, Polyacrylnitril, Polyacrylamid, Poly(Methylmethacrylat-co-Maleinsäureanhydrid) etc., anschließendes Gießen von Filmen und Extraktion der Polymeren oder Copolymeren durch Lösungsmittel hergestellt. Die Abhängigkeit der Durchlässigkeit und Trennwirkung von der Größe und Form der permeierenden Moleköle wurde qualitativ diskutiert. Des weiteren wurde die Selektivität der Trennwirkung in Abhangigkeit von der Zusammensetzung von Alkohol/Wasser-Gemischen und von der Größe und Anzahl der Poren untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Selektivität von der Menge und dem Molekulargewicht der in die Membranen eingebrachten Polymeren abhängt. Wenn der Gewichtsanteil des verwendeten Polymeren größer als 0,1 war, permeierte bevorzugt der Alkoholanteil bei methanolischen Msungen, wobei der Trennfaktor mit steigender Methanolkonzentration anstieg. In Gemischen mit anderen Alkoholen zeigten die Membranen andererseits eine selektive Durchlässigkeit für Wasser. Der Einfluß der Versuchsbedingungen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notizen: The permeation and separation characteristics of alcohol/water systems through porous PVA membranes were investigated. Porous PVA membranes with different pore size and number were prepared by solution blending of PVA with several synthesized polymers or copolymers, such as polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyacrylonitrile, and methylmethacrylate-co-maleic anhydride, etc. Then casting, and finally extracting the blended polymers or copolymers by solvent from the membranes. The dependency of both permeation and separation on the molecular size and shape of the permeating species was dicussed qualitatively. Moreover, the permselectivity was investigated with attention to the feed composition of alcohol/water mixture and the effect of pore size and number. The selectivity was found to depend on the weight ratio and the molecular weight of polymer introduced to the membrane. When the weight ratio of polymer introduced into the membrane was larger than 0.1, methanol was permeated through membrane preferentially in methanol/water system, and the separation factor increased with increasing the methanol feed concentration. On the other hand, membrane had a selective permeability for water in the other alcohol/water systems. The influence of operating conditions was also studied.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Temperatur des T1-Minimums für die Segmentbewegung in Polypropylen, das einen hohen ataktischen Anteil besitzt, ist niedriger als die in isotaktischem Polypropylen. Ein kurzes T1, T1s, tritt bei beiden Materialien auf. Bei Temperaturerhöhung nimmt T2a (T2 der beweglichen amorphen Bezirke) stark und T2m (T2 der dazwischen liegenden Bezirke) leicht zu, während sich T2c (T2 der steifen kristallinen Bezirke) kaum ändert. T2a in Polypropylen mit hohem ataktischem Anteil ist länger als in isotaktischem Polypropylen.Der Massenbruch der kristallinen Bezirke, Fc, nimmt bei Temperaturerhöhung ab und der der amorphen Bezirke, Fa, zu. Die Relaxationsgeschwindigkeit, 1/ (T1min), steigt linear mit Zunahme des amorphen Anteils an, außer bei der mit siedendem n-Heptan extrahierten Probe. Mit Zunahme der Peaktemperatur von tan δ fällt T2a nahezu linear ab, während die Temperatur des T1-Minimums zunimmt.
    Notizen: The temperature of the T1 minimum for the segmental motion in polypropylene containing a lot of atactic fraction is lower than that in isotactic polypropylene. A short T1, T1s, appears for both materials. As the temperature is raised, there is a large increase in T2a (T2 of the mobile amorphous regions), and a mild increase in T2m (T2 of the intermediate regions), while there is no substantial change in T2c (T2 of the rigid crystalline regions). T2a in polypropylene containing a lot of atactic fraction is longer than that in isotactic polypropylene.The mass fraction of crystalline regions, Fc, decreases and that of the amorphous regions, Fa, increases as the temperature is raised. There is a linear increase in the relaxation rate, 1/(T1min), as the amorphous fraction is increased, except for the sample extracted with boiling n-heptane. With increase of the peak temperature of tanδ, T2a decreases nearly linearly, while the temperature of the T1 minimum increases.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Bestrahlung von PTFE mit Elektronen niedriger Energie führt zur Abspaltung von Fluor und zum Einbau von Sauerstoff in die Polymeroberfläche. Es wird gezeigt, daß das Ausmaß der Oberflächenveränderungen hauptsächlich von der Zahl und kaum von der Energie der Elektronen abhängt, die die Oberfläche erreichen. Änderungen in der Oberflächenenergie resultieren in unterschiedlichem Benetzungsverhalten. Kontaktwinkelmessungen und Kurvenanalysen der C-1s-Peaks aus Röntgenphotonenspektroskopiemessungen zeigen, daß der am wenigsten benetzbare Teil der bestrahlten Oberflächen in den meisten Fällen aus —CF2 —CF-Einheiten besteht. Werden bei der Bestrahlung nahezu alle Fluoratome abgespalten, bleiben nur isolierte —CF2-oder —CF-Gruppen zurück. Die „receding“-Winkel werden mit zunehmender Sauerstoffkonzentration in der Oberfläche kleiner, was auf die Bildung stark oxidierter Bereiche hinweist. Die Unabhängigkeit der Kontaktwinkel von der Alterungsdauer deutet auf eine sehr geringe Beweglichkeit der Makromoleküle hin, was mit einer starken Vernet-zung an der Oberfläche zusammenhängen könnte.
    Notizen: Low energy electron irradiation of PTFE induced fluorine depletion and introduction of oxygen on the surface. The effect on surface chemistry was shown to be dependent mostly on the amount of electrons reaching the sample, rather than on their energy.Changes in surface energy resulted in different wetting behaviors. The measurement of advancing water contact angles and the analysis of XPS C-1s peak shapes showed that the least wettable portion of irradiated surfaces is made in most cases of —CF2—CF — units. When the treatment caused a nearly complete fluorine depletion, only isolated —CF2— or —CF— groups are present. Receding angle values decreased linearly depending on the amount of oxygen introduced on the sample during the treatment, suggesting the formation of strongly oxidized polymer islets. The invariance of contact angles with aging time indicated very low macromolecular mobility, probably related to extensive surface crosslinking.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: In aqueous dispersions of anionic polyurethanes containing the triethylammonium salt of 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid as chain extender, triethylamine can be largely replaced by ammonia. For electrostatic reasons, NH4+ is namely more tightly bound in the ion pairs located in the Stern layer than NH(C2H5)3+. Thermal treatment of films leads to a loss of base, whereby ammonia is more rapidly released than triethylamine. Therefore, crosslinking with partially methylated hexamethylolmelamine proceeds the faster the more triethylamine is replaced by ammonia.
    Notizen: In Dispersionen aus anionischen Polyurethanen, die das Triethylammoniumsalz der 2,2-Dimethylolpropionsäure als Kettenverlängerungsmittel enthalten, läßt sich durch Zugabe von Ammoniak eine weitgehende Verdrängung des Triethylamins erreichen. Aus elektrostatischen Gründen ist nämlich in den in der Sternschen Schicht lokalisierten Ionenpaaren NH4+ fester gebunden als NH(C2H5)3+. Bei der thermischen Behandlung der Filme tritt Basenabspaltung ein, dabei erfolgt die Abgabe von Ammoniak deutlich schneller als die von Triethylamin. Die Spannungswerte der mit teilmethyliertem Hexamethylolmelamin vernetzten Proben sind daher um so höher, je mehr Triethylamin durch Ammoniak ersetzt wurde.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Viskoelastizitäts-Parameter von geschmolzenem Polystyrol (PS) wurden mit einem Instron-Kapillarrheometer gemessen.Die Drucknachgiebigkeit B(t) zeigt ein Plateau sowohl im Schmelze (B1)- als auch im Glaszustand (Bg); beide nehmen mit abnehmender Spannung ab. Durch Verschiebung der B(t)-Kurven werden Master-Kurven erhalten, mit denen das Gesamtdruckverhalten (überlagerte elastische und viskose Deformationen) analysiert werden kann. Die stationäre Nachgiebigkeit (Bs) erlaubt eine Beschreibung des elastischen Energieanteils und scheint mit der Extrusions-Strangaufweitung (Bcs/Bds) korreliert zu sein. Die Volumenviskosität (ηk) nimmt mit zunehmender Spannung (P), zunehmender Belastungsgeschwindigkeit (k) und abnehmender Temperatur ab.
    Notizen: Viscoelastic parameters of polystyrene (PS) melt in compression creep have been measured in an lnstron capillary-rheometer.Bulk compression creep compliance B(t) shows plateau regions in the molten state (B1) and the glassy state (Bg), both decreasing with increasing stress. Shifting of B(t) curves provides master curves suitable to analysing the total (superposed elastic and viscous deformations) bulk compression behaviour. The steady-state creep compliance (Bs) allows to describe the recoverable elastic energy (Be) and seems to be related to the extrusion die swell (Bcs/Bds). Volume viscosity (ηk) decreases with decreasing stress (P), increasing compression rates (k) and decreasing temperature (T).

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wurden Untersuchungen über Molekulargewichtsänderungen an physikalisch bei Raumtemperatur gealterten isotaktischen Polypropylenfilamenten (iPP) mit Hilfe der Hochtemperaturgelpermeationschromatographie (HTGPC) durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis der Untersuchungen weist auf eine sehr unbedeutende Änderung des Molekulargewichts des Materials während der Alterung hin.Das Materialgranulat wurde als Bezugsstandard gewählt. Basierend auf der Uneinheitlichkeit D = Mw/Mn des Granulats wurden Filamente der Handelsprodukte GYE 47 und PXC 31399 charakterisiert, deren Alterungsdauer zwischen 2 Wochen und 8 Monaten lag. Bei den Filamenten der Qpe GYE 47 verringerte sich die Breite der Molekulargewichtsverteilung D um durchschnittlich 12%. Andererseits zeigen die Filamente des PXC 31399-vps einen weniger eindeutigen Trend zur Änderung, jedoch im Mittel hat sich die Breite der Verteilung um etwa 20% erniedrigt. Bei letzterem ist die Verteilung iiber die Alterungsdauer stark gestreut. Der GYE 47-Typ zeigt eine nahezu asymptotische Abnahme. Es wird angenommen, daß die Ungleichartigkeit in der Ändenz der Anderung von D zwischen beiden Proben in ihrer unterschiedlichen thermodynamischen Stabilitat liegen ktinnte; PXC 31399 ist weniger stabil.
    Notizen: Experiments on the molecular weight variations of physically, room temperature aged isotactic polypropylene (iPP) filaments were done using the High Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (HTGPC). Evidence emanating from the studies indicates a very marginal change in molecular weight of the materials during aging.The granules of the materials were chosen as the reference standard. Based on the polydispersity D = Mw/Mn of the granules, filaments of commercial grades GYE 47 and PXC 31399 were characterized between an aging period ranging from 2 weeks to 8 months. The filaments of the GYE 47 grade have their distributions D lowered on the average by about 12%. On the other hand, those of the PXC 31399 grade have a less definite trend in change, but on the average, D is lowered by about 20%. The distributions of this latter grade are highly scattered over the period of aging. The GYE 47 grade shows a reduction in the distribution of a near asymptotic nature. It is believed that the disparity in the trend of change of D between the two samples could be attributed to their relative thermodynamic stability with the PXC 31399 grade being less stable.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Photopolymerisation von Ethylenglykoldimethacrylat (EGDMA) mit Methylmethacrylat (MMA) wurde mit Benzoinmethylether (BME) als Initiator in einem Glasrohr durchgeführt, um einen lichtfokussierenden Plastikstab (Radius Rp) mit parabolischer Brechungsindex-Verteilung (Verteilungskonstante A) in der Nähe der Stabachse (bis zum Radius Rc) herzustellen. Die Abhängigkeit von A und Rc/Rp vom Monomerenverhältnis MMA/EGDMA der Ausgangsmischung, der Einfluß der BME-Konzentration auf die Brechungsindex-Verteilung und die Reproduzierbarkeit der Photopolymerisationen wurden untersucht. Das Rc/Rp-Verhältnis stieg mit dem Monomerenverhältnis MMA/EGDMA bei BME = 1,0 Gew.-% und der Geschwindigkeit der UV-Lampe von V = 0,58 mm/min an. Andererseits stieg Rc/Rp bei BME = 0,6 Gew.-% und V = 0,735 mm/min bis zum Monomerenverhältnis von 0,2 an und fiel dann deutlich zwischen 0,20 und 0,25 ab. Die Plastikstäbe, die hier durch Photopolymerisation hergestellt wurden, haben Linseneigenschaften und sind gut reproduzierbar.
    Notizen: The photocopolymerization of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) with methylmethacrylate (MMA) containing benzoin methyl ether (BME) as initiator was carried out in a glass tube to fabricate a light-focusing plastic rod (radius Rp) with a parabolic refractive index distribution (distribution constant A) in the region near the center axis (radius Rc). The dependence of A and Rc/Rp on MMA/EGDMA feed ratio, influence of BME concentration on the refractive index distribution, and the reproducibilities of the photopolymerizations were investigated. The Rc/Rp increased with the feed ratio used under BME = 1.0 wt.-% at velocity of UV lamp V = 0.58 mm/min. On the other hand, Rc/Rp increased with the feed ratio to 0.2 and then decreased remarkably with the feed ratio in the range of 0.2-0.25 with BME = 0.6 wt.-% at V = 0.735 mm/min. Plastic rods fabricated in the investigation using photopolymerization have lens characteristics and good reproducibilities.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Polystyrol- und Polymethylmethacrylateinzelfäden mit verschiedenen Graden von Doppelbrechung wurden durch die kontinuierliche Änderung der Ziehgeschwindigkeit, der Temperatur der Polymerschmelze und des Molekulargewichts von Polystyrol (PS) und Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) gewonnen. Der “brittle to ductile” Übergangspunkt (Übergang des Polymeren vom spröden zum ziehbaren Zustand) wurde für das optisch reine Polystyrol im Bereich der Doppelbrechungszahlen -0,6 · 10-3 bis -2,6 · 10-3 gefunden. Höhe und Lage dieses Punktes werden durch das Molekulargewicht, die Molekulargewichtsverteilung und die Temperatur der Polymerschmelze beeinflußt. Die Werte des Doppelbrechungsindexes von PS sind um zwei Zehnerpotenzen höher als von PMMA. Bei PMMA wurde der “brittle to ductile” Übergangspunkt nicht beobachtet. Die mechanischen und optischen Eigenschaften hängen nicht nur vom mittleren Wert des durch die Doppelbrechung charakteri-sierten Orientierungsgrades ab, sondern auch davon, welcher Teil des Relaxations-spektrums des Polymeren vorzugsweise orientiert ist. Beim Ziehen der PS- und PMMA-Einzelfäden bilden sich in der Mitte des Fadens Risse (crazes), die jedoch nicht an die Oberflache des Fadens treten.
    Notizen: Monofilaments possessing various degrees of birefringence were obtained by changing the drawing rate, the molten polymer temperature, and the molecular weight of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The “brittle-toductile” transition point of optically pure PS was found in the range of birefringences of -0.6 · 10-3 to -2.6 · 10-3. Both the height and position of this point are influenced by M̄w, molecular weight distribution, and polymer melt temperature. The birefringence of PS is higher by two orders of magnitude than that of PMMA in which this transition point has not been observed. The mechanical and optical properties depend not only on the average amount of orientation characterized by the birefringence but on what portion of the relaxation spectrum of the polymer is preferentially oriented. During the drawing of PS and PMMA monofilaments crazes are formed in the centre of the fibers and do not reach the surface.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: A new spectroscopic method for determining the permeability of ammonia in transparent polymer layers is presented. It is based on the quantitative proof of the ammonia passing the test layer into a sensor layer, containing 4-nitrophenol as an NH3-sensitive probe, which is placed under the test film. The permeability (P) of the test layer is calculated from the slope of extinction with time in the sensor layer. The lag time (t1) gives the diffusion coefficient (D). The suitability of this method is confirmed by comparison with literature values. Diffusion coefficients obtained from t1 correspond well to those obtained by the sorption method.The temperature dependence of P and D in more than five different polymers (CDA, PVB, PVAc, PVC and different polyvinyl alcohols) demonstrates that peculiarities in the temperature dependence of the permeability result from the behaviour of the NH3-solubility (P/D) which is strongly dependent on the polymer structure.
    Notizen: Es wird eine neuartige spektroskopische Methode zur Messung der Ammoniak-Permeabilität in transparenten Polymerfilmen vorgestellt. Sie beruht auf dem quantitativen Nachweis des den Testfilm durchdringenden Ammoniaks in einer darunter befindlichen Sensorschicht mit Hilfe der NH3-empfindlichen Sonde 4-Nitrophenol. Aus dem Anstieg der Extinktion mit der Zeit (ΔE/Δt) in der Sensorschicht wird die Permeabilität (P) und aus der Verzögerungszeit (lag time (t1)) der Diffusionskoeffizient (D) berechnet. Die Eignung der Methode wird durch Vergleich mit Literaturwerten belegt. Die aus t1 zugänglichen Diffusionskoeffizienten stimmen sehr gut mit denen überein, die mit der Sorptionsmethode gefunden werden.Die Temperaturabhängigkeiten von P und D in mehr als fünf verschiedenen Polymeren (CDA, PVB, PVAc, PVC und in verschiedenen Polyvinylalkoholen) zeigen, daß Besonderheiten im Temperaturgang der Permeabilität aus dem vom Aufbau des Polymeren stark abhängigen Verhalten der NH3-Löslichkeit (P/D) resultieren.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wurde die strahleninduzierte Pfropfung von 4-Vinylpyridin (VP) auf Styrol-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymere (SBS) in Gegenwart von gelöstem Sauerstoff untersucht. Pfropfcopolymer-Membranen mit unterschiedlichen Pfropfgraden wurden durch Gießen aus benzolischer Lösung hergestellt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften, die Gaspermeabilität sowie der Einfluß der Temperatur auf die Gasdurchlässigkeit wurden untersucht. Der höchste Pfropfgrad von 8,4% wurde bei einer Bestrahlungszeit von 15,5 herreicht. Sowohl bei kürzeren als auch längeren Bestrahlungszeiten war der Pfropfgrad  -  bedingt durch Störung durch den vorhandenen Sauerstoff  -  niedriger. Reißfestigkeit und Reißdehnung von SBS-g-VP waren vergleichbar rnit SBS. Die Spannungsrelaxation von SBS-g-VP war langsamer als bei SBS, was auf der Bildung von starren Polyvinylpyridin(DVP)-Mikrophasen beruhen könnte, die als permanente Vernetzungspunkte wirken und die Spannungsrelaxation beeinträchtigen könnten.Da SBS eine hohe Gasdurchlässigkeit und PVP eine hohe O2/N2-Selektivität aufweisen, wurde die Gasdurchlässigkeit der Pfropfmembranen untersucht. Die Selektivitat der SBS-g-VP-Membranen stieg mit steigendem Pfropfgrad, allerdings auf Kosten der Permeabilität, Bei Erhöhung der Temperatur nahm die Durchlässigkeit zu, das Verhältnis O2/N2, aber ab. Die Aktivierungsenergie (Ep) der Gasdurchlässigkeit stieg mit dem Pfropfgrad. Für eine nichtgepfropfte SBS-Membran betrug Ep 5,5 kcal/mol für Sauerstoff und 7,2 kcal/mol für Stickstoff. Für eine SBS-g-VP-Membran mit einem Pfropfgrad von 8,4% waren die Ep-Werte für Sauerstoff und Stickstoff 6,5 bzw. 8,1 kcal/mol.
    Notizen: The grafting of 4-vinyl pyridine (VP) onto styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymers (SBS) by homografting irradiation with dissolved oxygen was studied. Homograft membranes of various degree of grafting were prepared from a casting solution of grafted copolymer in benzene. The mechanical properties of membranes, gas permeability, and the effect of operating temperature on gas permeation were investigated.The degree of grafting of 8.4% was the largest at an irradiation time of about 15.5 h. It was smaller at both shorter and longer duration because of the interference of dissolved oxygen. It was found that the tensile strength and elongation of SBS-g-VP were similar to those of SBS. The stress relaxation of SBS-g-VP was slower than that of SBS, and this might be due to the formation of rigid microphase separation domain of poly(4-vinyl pyridine), which acted as permanent crosslinking points to reduce the stress relaxation.Using the properties of high flux of SBS and high O2/N2 selectivity of poly(4-vinyl pyridine), the performance of gas permeation of 4-vinyl pyridine homografted SBS membrane was studied. The selectivity of SBS-g-VP membrane increased with increasing degree of grafting. However, it was done at the expense of a decrease in the gas permeability.When the operating temperature of gas permeation increased, the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen increased, and the O2/N2 permeability ratio decreased. The activation energy (Ep) for gas permeation through different degree of grafting of SBS-g-VP membrane (obtained by the Arrhenius law) increased with increasing degree of grafting. For ungrafted SBS membrane, Ep was 5.5 kcal/mol for oxygen and 7.2 kcal/mol for nitrogen. For 8.4% grafting degree SBS-g-VP membrane, Ep for oxygen and nitrogen, were 6.5 and 8.1 kcal/mol, respectively.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: One constitutive property for the description of dyeing polyester-materials with disperse dyes is the particle size distribution in the dye bath. To measure particle sizes below one micrometer in situ, special techniques are required. One of these is the so called photon-correlation-spectroscopy, depending on the scattering of laser light by suspended small particles in a fluid. The mathematical and physical principles of the photon-correlation-technique are explained in this article.

Partikelgrößen unterhalb eines Mikrometers lassen sich in situ nur mit wenigen Meßtechniken bestimmen. Dazu zählt u. a. die Photonen-Korrelations-Spektroskopie, die auf Streuung von Laserlicht an kleinen, in einer Flüssigkeit suspendierten Teilchen basiert. Die mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen dieser Meßtechnik werden in diesem Artikel erläutert.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Kristallinität von Polyethylen, Polyethylenterephthalat und Polypropylen wurde mit Hilfe der Röntgenweitwinkel(WAXS)-und-kleinwinkel(SAXS)streuung gemessen. Die mittels der letzteren Methode erhaltenen Kristallinitätswerte sind deutlich größer als die durch WAXS. Es wird vermutet, daß die Unterschiede mit der Schicht zusammenhängen, die zwischen den amorphen und kristallinen Bereichen liegt. Daraus wurde geschlossen, daß die Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung nicht als unabhängige Routinemethode zur Kristallinitätsbestimmung angewendet werden kann.
    Notizen: The crystallinity of polyethylene, polyethyleneterephthalate, and polypropylene was measured with the aid of wide angle (WAXS) and small angle (SAXS) X-ray scattering methods. The values of crystallinity evaluated using the latter method are distinctly larger than those ones given by the WAXS method. The differences are supposed to be associated with the transition layer existing between the amorphous and crystalline regions. It was concluded that small angle X-ray scattering cannot be employed as an independent routine method of crystallinity determination.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Für das System Cellulosenitrat-μ-Styragel-THF wurde die DP-Ve-Beziehung sowie die Ausarbeitung der betreffenden Eichparameter einer genaueren Betrachtung unterzogen. Die etwa dreißig Eichpräparate waren durch definierten säurekatalysierten Abbau von Baumwollcellulose und anschließende Nitrierung hergestellt worden und umfaßten einen DP-Bereich von 150 〈 DP 〈 8000. Es wird gezeigt, daß mit steigendem DP die DP-Ve-Beziehung drei verschiedene Phasen aufweist. Bei der Anwendung der SEC auf Cellulosenitrat müssen daher bezüglich der Eichung zwei Fehlerquellen in Betracht gezogen werden: eine bezieht sich auf die Methode der Ausarbeitung der Eichparameter als solche, und die andere auf die Nichtbeachtung des Vorhandenseins dreier Abschnitte in der DP-Ve-Beziehung. Die Auswirkung dieser Fehler auf die Genauigkeit der aus den Elutionsdiagrammen abgeleiteten Verteilungskurven und DP-Mittelwerte wird diskutiert.
    Notizen: The calibration behaviour of the system cellulose nitrate-μ-Styragel-THF has been studied using about 30 different calibration samples prepared by defined acid catalyzed degradation of cotton cellulose. The samples covered a range of DP between 150 〈 DP 〈 8000. It is shown that the DP-Ve relationship is characterized by the existence of three subsequent stages. Consequently, two sources of errors in the DP-Ve calibration must be taken into consideration. One refers to the methods as such to elaborate the calibration parameters, and the other one arises by neglecting that the DP-Ve relationship involves 3 distinct stages. The extent of the two classes of errors in regard to the exactness of the determined molecular weight averages and molecular weight distributions is discussed.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Bei der Polycondensation von d,l-Asparaginsäure mit Nδ-phthaloyl-L-ornithin in Phosphorsäure bei 185°C entstehen statisticsche Copolymere (Ausbeute 60  -  70%) aus Poly(d,l-succinimid-co-Nδ-phthaloyl-d,l-ornithin), Formel 6, mit inhärenten Viskositäten (DMF) von 5 bis 15 ml g-1. Copolyimide der selben Zusammensetzung 6 und vergleichbarer Kettenlänge werden aus Asparaginsäure und dem Kupferchelat des Phthaloylornithins erhalten. Die Behandlung des Copolymeren 6 mit Hydrazinhydrat fuhrt zur Öffnung der Succinimid-Kettenglieder unter Bildung von Hydrazid-Seitengruppen. Die resultierenden Polyamide sind Poly(α,β-d,l-asparaginsäurehydrazid-co-d,l-ornithin), Formel 7. Kürzere Reaktionszeiten bedingen unvollständige Ringöffnung, und die verbleibenden Succinimid-Gruppen werden bei der folgenden Aufarbeitung hydrolytisch gespalten unter Bildung von Asparaginsaüre-Gruppen; die sogebildeten Polyamide besitzen die Struktur 8. Beide Polymere, 7 und 8, sind in Wasser loslich und zeigen in Wasser inharente Viskositiiten von 5 bis 14 ml g-l. Die Fahigkeit dieser Polyamide zur Arzneimittelverankerung wird durch Ankoppeln von Carbonsau- ren als Modellsubstanzen gezeigt.
    Notizen: The polycondensation of d,l-aspartic acid with Nδ-phthaloyl-l-ornithine in phosphoric acid at 185°C gives rise to the formation, in 60  -  75% yield, of random copolymers of the poly(d,l-succinimide-co-Nδ-phthaloyl-D,L-ornithine) type 6 possessing inherent viscosities (DMF) in the range of 5  -  15 ml g-1. Copolyimides of the same compositions 6 and comparable chain lengths are obtained from aspartic acid and the copper chelate of the phthaloylornithine. Treatment of copolymers 6 with hydrazine hydrate in DMF leads to N-deprotection and opening of the intrachain succinimide rings with formation of hydrazide side groups. The resultant polyamides are of the poly(α,β-d,l-asparthydrazide-co-d,l-ornithine) type 7. Shorter reaction periods give incomplete hydrazinolytic ring opening, and the remaining succinimide units are cleaved hydrolytically during the subsequent aqueous workup, thereby transforming into aspartic acid units. The polyamides so formed possess the general poly(α,β-d,l-asparthydrazide-co-α,β-d,l-aspartic acid-co-d,l-ornithine) structure 8 Both types 7 and 8 are soluble in water and, in this medium, give inherent viscosities of 5  -  14 ml g-1. The potential drug-anchoring capabilities of these amine-functionalized polyamides are demonstrated by coupling reactions with model carboxylic acids.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Im Zusammenhang mit Arbeiten über den Wirkungsmechanismus von Antioxidantien in Kohlenwasserstoffpolymeren unter Sauerstoffmangel wurde die Abfangreaktion des Modellradikals 1-Cyano-1-methylethyl (R°) mit N-Isopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-phenylendiamin (Ia) und seinem Oxidationsprodukt IIa untersucht. Reines Ia und IIa reagieren kaum mit R′, eine Mischung aus beiden ist jedoch ein effektiver Fänger fur R′, wobei R′ entweder am Stickstoffatom zwischen den aromatischen Ringen unter Bildung von VIa gebunden wird, oder unter Substitution mit dem Phenylenring reagiert, wobei VIIIa entsteht. Verbindung VIa ist labil, bei Vulkanisationstemperatur spaltet sie im neutralen Medium Olefin unter Regenerierung von Ia ab. In Gegenwart von Säuren lauft diese Reaktion auch bei niedrigerer Temperatur ab. Im Produkt VIIIa ist R′ fest gebunden, durch die Nitrilgruppe tritt jedoch eine säurekatalysierte Cyclisierung zum Indolinderivat X ein. Die Bildung von VIIIa ist ein Modell für die Entstehung einer „nichtextrahierbaren Fraktion“ des Antioxidants Ia bei der Stabilisierung von Kohlenwasserstoffpolymeren.
    Notizen: In connection with the investigation of the mechanism of antioxidant action of antidegradants in hydrocarbon polymers under the conditions of a relative deficiency of oxygen, scavenging of a model alkyl (1-cyano-1-methylethyl,R°) was studied with Nisopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (Ia)For abbreviations see p. 11. and its oxidation product, i.e. Nisopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinonediimine (IIa). While pure Ia and IIa do not react with the radical R° almost at all, their mixture is able to scavenge R° effectively. The reaction is further accelerated with acids. The alkyl R° combines with the antidegradant molecule in two ways, one of which leads to the substitution at the nitrogen atom between the aromatic rings, giving rise to VIa, while the other consists in the substitution of phenylene, leading to VIIIa. The product VIa is labile, and at vulcanization temperatures it readily splits off olefin in a neutral medium, being regenerated to Ia. In the presence of acids this reaction proceeds even at lower temperatures. In the other product, i.e. in VIIIa, the alkyl R° is bound firmly, but due to the presence of the nitrile group, VIIIa is readily cyclized by the effect of acids, and an indoline derivative X is formed. The formation of VIIIa is a model of the formation of an “unextractable fraction” of antidegradant Ia in the stabilization of hydrocarbon polymers. Investigations based on the isolation of reaction products bear at the same time evidence of the possibility of regeneration of an effective antioxidant in the stabilized substrate.

    Notizen: The photochemical degradation of polymers (commonly known as UV degradation) takes place in two stages: First, there is the primary process comprising the rapid formation of radicals caused by quanta of visible light; this involves the dissociation of polymer chain molecules and/or the activation of polymer chain molecules respectively of additives, colorants and impurities contained in the polymer. The secondary process consists in oxidation reactions with singulett-oxygen generated by energy-transfer and/or between the polymer radicals thus formed and adsorbed oxygen, as a result of which gradual degradation of the polymer takes place.An investigation of these individual reactions using a combination of selected physical test methods leads to an unterstanding of the entire reaction sequence involved in photo-oxidative degradation. This knowledge provides a basis for systematically improving the weather-resistance of polymers by modifying their basic polymeric structure or through the controlled use of UV absorbers, quenchers, radical interceptors and antioxidants.The physical test methods themselves are divided into two categories: techniques used for investigating the primary processes (ultra short-time spectroscopy, ESR) and those used to investigate the secondary processes (XPS, FT-IR, UV/VIS et al.).With pigmented polymers, attention is focussed on borderline cases in the use of photoactive and photoinactive pigments: as a result of “photocatalytic oxidation”, photoactive pigments (e.g. TiO2 anatase) lead to additional degradation reactions which take place at the same time as the UV degradation reaction. Photoinactive pigments (e.g. high-grade TiO2-rutile and iron oxide pigments), on the other hand, exhibit negligible or no photocatalytic oxidation and, by absorbing UV radiation, provides better protection for the polymer against UV degradation.This paper gives an overview of the above-mentioned physical methods of investigating primary and secondary photochemical processes, taking a thermoplastic material (Polycarbonate) as an example. A description is also given of the photocatalytic oxidation reations which can take place if pigmented polymers are used, and there is a discussion of the degradation-inhibiting effects of inorganic pigments.

    Notizen: The aim of the present work is to predict the warehouse storage life of polyethylene low-density, polyethylene high-density and polystyrene impact-resistent, using the method of temperature-time superposition. The properties, most representative for thermal ageing, are the relative elongation at break for polyethylene and the impact resistance for polystyrene. The validity of the predicted shelf-life is verified by estimating the change of these properties under real conditions of warehouse storage.

    Notizen: A commercial type of impact-resistant polystyrene was investigated. Two types of antioxidants, Irganox 245 and Irganox PS-800 were added to polystyrene in ammounts of 0,05 to 0.20%. Films, dumbbells and straight test pieces were subjected to thermal and u.v. ageing. Films of 250 μ thickness were thermally treated at 100°C and separately u.v. irradiated at 360 nm for 24, 72, 120 and 168 hours. Dumbbells and straight test pieces were only thermally aged at 100°C for 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days. Mechanical properties were determined. The spectra of samples were recorded using Perkin-Elmer, model 1750 FTIR and Perkin-Elmer data station 7700. Colour changes of all dumbbells were measured using Elrepho apparatus in u.v.-visible region. (Changes of the content of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, as well as of polybutadiene (PB) unsaturation in films were recorded on i.r. spektrophotometer Perkin-Elmer 257 between 4000 and 625 cm-1 and were published in the first part of this study1).

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: The influence of linearly and circularly polarized light on the state of order of nematic dye-copolymers is investigated. For a nematic model system we have shown that the optical axis of these systems can be reorientated with linearly polarized light in a well defined manner. Furthermore these investigations prove that the isomerisation cycles of the azo dye is responsible for the described properties. By selection of circularly polarized light the same transmission behaviour as shown by selectively reflecting materials, i. e. cholesteric liquid crystals, was observed.
    Notizen: Untersucht wird der Einfluß von linear und zirkular polarisiertem Licht auf den Ordnungszustand von nematischen Farbstoff- Copolymeren. Am Beispiel eines Modellsystems wird gezeigt, daß mit linear polarisiertem Licht die optische Vorzugsachse dieser Systeme gezielt reorientiert werden kann. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, daß der Isomerisierungszyklus des Azofarbstoffes für diese Eigenschaft des Materials verantwortlich ist Nach Bestrahlen der Probe mit zirkular polarisiertem Licht wird für das Polymere das gleiche Transmissionsverhalten beobachtet. Wie es auch selektivreflektierende Materialien, z. B. cholesterische Flüssigkristalle, aufweisen.

    Notizen: For fabricating microstructures with extreme structural heights a technology has been developed which is based on deep-etch lithography and subsequent replication processes. A particularly high precision is achieved if the lithographic process is carried out by means of synchrotron radiation. Electroforming and molding processes are used for the replication of microstructures from a large variety of materials. The field of application comprises micromechanics, microoptics, electrical and optical microconnectors as well as sensors and actuators.

    Notizen: Charge carrier transport properties of organic polymers can vary over a wide range. The paper shows that the electron- and hole mobilities of polymers with pendant photoconductive groups (i. e. carbazole) are on the order of 10-6 cm2/Vs. In these materials the flow of electronic charge is maintained by the overlap of the π-orbitals of the pendant molecular groups. The large variation of this short-range interaction, depending on the local configurations encountered in polymer glasses, leads to a large variation of hopping probabilities and, hence, to wide rate-distributions. These distributions are reflected in the slow algebraic decay characteristics of the observed photocurrents. The typical time exponents α (α 〈 1) are shown to carry a great deal of physical information, if the dynamical range of the experiments is sufficiently large. The paper also refers to quasi-conjugated polymers (polysilanes) whose dynamic transport parameters are about 103 times better (faster) as compared to polymers with pendant groups. These new materials open interesting aspects for the development of new polymeric materials with better transport parameters and, hence, shorter 'switching times'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Notizen: As a model compound for the growing chain in the activated-NCA type of polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (NCA), 3-[ω-acetylglycyl-poly(α-amino acid) acyl]-α-amino acid NCA (called the prepolymer) having various degrees of polymerization (DPs) was synthesized by the polymerization of Phe, Val, Glu(OEt), and Asp(OBzl) NCA in the presence of AcGly NCA by the tertiary amine. Activated (S)-Phe, Val, Glu(OEt), and Asp(OBzl) NCA were added to the terminal cyclic group of the corresponding (S)- or (R)- prepolymer, and the enantiomer selectivity in the reaction was investigated. With prepolymers having DPs ranging from 1 to 15, the addition reaction always took place preferentially between species having the same configuration, and the degree of the enantiomer selection increased with increasing DP of the prepolymer. With prepolymers having DP = 1 and 2, we found contributions from the chiral terminal unit and the chiral penultimate unit to the enantiomer selection, respectively. Prepolymer having DP = 5 was shown to take a β-type conformation, which led to higher enantiomer selection; and prepolymers having DP = 10 and 15 were shown to take an α-helix conformation, which led to much higher enantiomer selection than did the β-type conformation. In the present investigation the mechanisms of terminal-unit control, penultimate-unit control and conformational control of the enantiomer selection in the activated-NCA type of polymerization were clearly observed.

    Notizen: The helix-coil transition and conformational structure of poly(8-bromoadenylic acid) [poly(8BrA)] have been investigated using 1H- and 13C-nmr, CD, and ir spectroscopy. The results have been compared with the structure of the related 5′-mono- and polynucleotides. The chemical shifts of H(2′), H(3′), C(2′), and C(3′) nmr signals show an interesting correlation with both the puckering of ribose ring and glycosidic bond torsion angle. Poly(8BrA) shows an upfield shift of the C(3′) signal and a downfield shift of the H(3′) signal compared to the chemical shifts in poly(A). These shifts are consistent with a C(3′) endo-syn conformation for poly(8BrA). A similar effect has been reported previously and is also observed here on the C(2′) and H(2′) signals when the preferred conformation is C(2′)endo-syn (e.g., in 5′-8BrAMP). The chemical-shift parameters thus act as a probe for studying syn ⇄ anti and N ⇄ S equilibria in solutions. The three-bond 1H-′13C coupling constants between H(1′) and C(8) and C(4) have been measured in poly(8BrA) and 5′-8BrAMP and their structural implications have been discussed. The observed preference of a C(3′)endo-syn conformation for poly(8BrA), coupled with other evidence, throws doubt on the validity of a correlation previously reported whereby a syn conformation is associated with a C(2′)endo ribose pucker. The backbone conformation of randomly coiled poly(8BrA) is very similar to the structures found in polyribonucleotides: poly(A) and poly(U). All three polymers show strong preferences for the backbone angles found in RNA helices. The CD spectrum of poly(8BrA) has a striking relationship to that of poly(A). The signs of all extrema are inverted, and the magnitudes are related by a constant factor. We suggest that these differences result from a change in the angle between coupled transition moment vectors in the two polymers. Infrared spectra of poly(8BrA) in H2O and D2O solution are reported for the frequency range below 1400 cm-1. The antisymmetric 〉PO2- stretching vibration is observed at an unusually low frequency in the helix (1214 cm-1). The symmetric 〉PO2- stretch occurs at ∼1095 cm-1 but is not resolved from a ring vibration near this frequency. A conformationally sensitive band, characteristic of helical RNA structures, is observed at 817 cm-1 and disappears when the helix is melted. This observation confirms the conclusion that ordered poly(8BrA) has a regular helical structure with an RNA backbone conformation. A stereochemical explanation is provided for the failure of poly(8BrA) (or other syn polymers) to form double helices with anti-polyribonucleotides.

    Notizen: The arginine and lysine residues of calf thymus histone H1 were modified with large molar excesses of 2,3-butanedione and O-methylisourea, respectively. Kinetic study of the modification reaction of the arginine residue revealed that the reaction is divided into the two pseudo-first-order processes. About a third (1 Arg) of the total arginine residues of the H1 molecule was rapidly modified without causing any detectable structural change of the molecule, and the slow modification of the remaining arginine residues (2 Arg) led to a loss of the folded structure of H1. In the case of lysine residue modification, 93% (56 Lys) of the total lysine residues of the H1 was modified with the same rate constant, while 7% (4 Lys) of lysine residue remained unmodified. When the reaction was performed in the presence of 6M guanidine-HCl, all of lysine residues were modified. It is concluded that the 2 arginine and 4 lysine residues resistant to modification are buried in interior regions of the H1 molecule and play an important role in the formation of the H1 globular structure, while the other 1 arginine and 56 lysine residues are exposed to solvent.

    Notizen: The molar Kerr constants mK, molar refractions mR, and dipole moments μ are reported for the N-methylacetamides CX3CONHCH3 (X = H, CH3, F. CI, Br) and acetamides CX3CONH2 (X = H, F, Cl, Br). The components of the polarizability tensor α are deduced for N-methylacetamide and acetamide on the basis of the bond additivity approximation. This α is found to be considerably more anisotropic than was indicated in previous determinations by other methods. The data for N-methylacetamide were used to calculate mK, μ, and γ2 (anisotropy squared) of N-acetyl-N′-methylglycine amide and N-acetyl-N′-methyl-alanine amide as functions of the torsional angles (φ,Ψ). The statistical mechanical averages of mK, μ, and γ2 were calculated from conformational energies obtained by the methods of Scheraga.

    Notizen: The physical properties of single, 5-8-μm diameter, water-swollen elastin fibers have been investigated on a microtest apparatus attached to a polarizing microscope. Analysis of the mechanical and optical properties at extensions below 100% indicate that the elastic modulus (G) has a value of 4.1 × 105 N m-2, the average molecular weight of chains between crosslinks is in the range of 6000-7100, and the stress optical coefficient (C′) is 1 × 10-9 m2 N-1 at 24°C. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the stress optical coefficient indicates that the polarizability of the random link decreases with increasing temperature, with an apparent activation energy for this process of the order of 1.6 kcal/mol. Analysis of the non-Gaussian mechanical and optical properties at extensions above about 100% suggest that the chains between crosslinks contain approximately 10 “effective” random links, with each link consisting of 7-8 amino acid residues. These parameters for the random chains in the elastin network have been used to predict the dimensions of other random proteins. The close correlation of these predictions with published values for the dimensions of a series of proteins in solution in 6M guanidinium hydrochloride provides an independent test of the appropriateness of our analysis.

    Notizen: A Monte Carlo analysis is presented which establishes a relationship between the rotational diffusion coefficients and the flexibility (persistence length, P) of short, wormlike chains. The results of this analysis are presented in terms of experimentally observable quantities; namely, the rotational relaxation times for the field-free decay of optical anisotropy. The pertinent theoretical quantity is R, defined as the ratio of the longest rotational relaxation time of a wormlike chain to the transverse rotational relaxation time of a rigid cylinder having the same axial length (L) and segmental volume. R, so defined, is essentially independent of the axial ratio of the cylinder for any value of L/P within the range of validity of the present analysis (axial ratio 〉 20; 0.1 〈 L/P 〈 5). It is pointed out that P can be determined with reasonable accuracy even in the absence of a precise knowledge of the local hydrodynamic radius of the chain.

    Notizen: Solvents which accelerate DNA renaturation rates have been investigated. Addition of NaCl or LiCl to DNA in 2.4M Et4NCl initially increases renaturation rates at 45°C and then leads to a loss of second-order behavior. The greatest accelerations are seen with LiCl and dilute DNA. Volume exclusion by dextran sulfate is the most effective method of accelerating DNA renaturation with concentrated DNA. Addition of dextran sulfate beyond 10-12% in 2.4M Et4NCl fails to increase the acceleration beyond approximately 10-fold. Accelerations of 100-fold may be achieved with 35-40% dextran sulfate in 1M NaCl at 70°C. No other mixed solvent system was found to be more effective, although acceleration may be achieved in solvents containing formamide or other denaturants. The acceleration in 2M NaCl occurs without loss of the normal concentration and temperature dependence of DNA renaturation and is also independent of dextran sulfate concentration if sufficient dextran sulfate is used. Dextran sulfate may be selectively precipitated by use of 1M CsCl.

    Notizen: In the preceding article, a Monte Carlo analysis was presented which provides a quantitative numerical relationship between the rotational diffusion coefficients, as measured by the decay of optical anisotropy following an electric field pulse, and the flexibility (persistence length) of short, wormlike chains. In the present article, the results of the foregoing analysis are applied to the observed rates of decay of birefringence for a series of sequenced DNA fragments ranging in size from 104 to 910 base pairs. Under the conditions used in this study, the DNA fragments exist as native, duplex molecules. Furthermore, conditions are defined in which the observed relaxation times are not dependent on DNA concentration, field strength, or the duration of the pulse. It is pointed out that the ionic atmosphere associated with a wormlike polyion does not exert any significant (direct) influence on the rotational diffusion of the polyion and, therefore, that the rotational relaxation times are a true measure of the configurations of the DNA molecules in solution. Moreover, excluded-volume effects are shown not to be significant for the moderately short molecules employed in this study. The major conclusion of this study is that there is no strong ionic strength dependence of the persistence length for ionic strengths above 1 mM and that the persistence length, under conditions where electrostatic contributions are negligible, is approximately 500 Å. For ionic strengths significantly lower than 1 mM, electrostatic contributions to the stiffness of DNA become significant.

    Notizen: The aqueous and hydroalcoholic solutions of the heptenic macrolide amphotericin B display strong and variable signals in CD and absorption spectroscopies in the range of the π* ← π transition. An interpretation of the spectroscopic changes is proposed based on the equilibrium between two forms of the intermolecular organization: the aggregated one (A) with strong excitonic interaction and the nonaggregative one (B) whose spectra are like those of linear conjugated polyenes in true solution with a well-developed vibrational structure. The intermediate spectra are fitted by linear combination of the A- and B-form spectra. A two-level organization of the aggregates is proposed for the A-form: (1) a close packing of few molecules, which is the origin of the absorption maxima hypsochromic shift; and (2) interaction between the preceding small units inside the aggregates, which is spectroscopically expressed by the intense CD couplet.

    Notizen: Polypeptides of dicarboxylic amino acids having the monomer units linked in α- and ω-peptide bonds contain two kinds of carboxyls of different acidity. How well potentiometric titration can distinguish these two carboxyls and so characterize the nature of the peptide bonds is evaluated critically. An analysis of the equation describing the dependence of pH on the degree of neutralization based on neglecting the polymer effect and a discussion of the dissociation behavior of polyanions show that the method of evaluating experimental data found in the literature is incorrect. Nevertheless, if a conformational transition does not interfere, some useful and reliable information may be gained by this method; namely, an indication of the presence of two different peptide bonds, their mole ratio, and an approximate pK value for the carboxyl of the amino acid linked in the ω-peptide bond. The presence of two types of carboxyls complicates the evaluation of the titration curves in the conformation studies.

    Notizen: Conformational analysis of antiparallel double-helical polynucleotides with Watson-Crick base pairing was reduced to a four-dimensional problem using original mathematical methods. In the four-dimensional conformational space the family of structures, characterized by the base-pair stacking with the most stable conformations in water solution as well as in the solid state, was localized. For the C′2-endo sugar pucker, both right-handed and left-handed structures were found; right-handed structures only, however, seem to be allowed for the C′3-endo pucker, the only possible one for ribonucleotides with base stacking.

    Notizen: Angiotensin II and its competitive inhibitor [Sar1, Ile8]-angiotensin II, as well as several analogs of these two compounds specifically chosen for their well-defined pharmacological properties, were studied by circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance methods at various pH values in aqueous solution and in d6-dimethylsulfoxide. The results were compared with their biological activities. This allowed us to establish relationships between conformation and pressor activity, explaining most of the properties of angiotensin II, its inhibitor, and the analogs successively substituted in positions 3 and 5.

    Notizen: Peptide agonists covalently attached to tobacco mosaic virus exhibit such unusual properties as superpotency, superaffinity, enhanced resistance towards enzymic degradation, and prolonged action at the target cell. These properties can be exploited for the isolation by density-gradient centrifugation of membrane vesicles bearing specific receptors for the peptides and for radioactive and fluorescent labeling of cell-surface receptors. Our observations can be explained by cooperative-affinity phenomena caused by the deployment in space of the agonist molecules.

    Notizen: The early steps of fibrin aggregation induced by low Reptilase concentrations were studied by means of static and dynamic light scattering. In order to obtain information on the size and shape of the first oligomers, the angular dependence of the scattered intensity and the mean Rayleigh line width were measured. Under physiological pH and ionic strength, oligomer formation was detectable immediately after enzymatic activation. Comparison of the calculated data for different models with experimental results shows that the early fibrin polymerization proceeds as an end-to-end aggregation of elongated and possibly flexible molecules approximately 75 nm long.

    Notizen: The equivalent conductivity of salt-free solutions of deoxyribonucleates of alkali metals and ammonium obtained by filtering an isoionic DNA solution through a cation exchanger in the corresponding form has been investigated in the concentrations range of 1 × 10-4 to 4 × 10-3M. For all counterions investigated there is a linear dependence of the equivalent conductivity on \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \sqrt {C_p} $\end{document}, where Cp is the nucleic phosphorus concentration. The limiting equivalent conductivity of deoxyribonucleates increases linearly with the limiting mobility of a counterion. By extrapolation to the zero mobility of the counterion, we have obtained the limiting mobility of a macroion, which is equal to 19 × 10-4 Sm m2 equiv.-1, which is in good agreement with the literature data for denatured DNA obtained by the method of a moving boundary. It is shown that the degree of binding of counterions calculated from the conductometric data in diluted DTA solutions in independent of the nature of the univalent counterion. The degree of dissociation of H+-DNA in the isoionic solution calculated with allowance for the fraction of unprotonated bases practically coincides with this value for salts of DNA. The parameter of Manning's theory calculated from the experimental data corresponds to the distance between phosphates along the chain of the macroion, which is equal to 6.7 Å. We attribute the smaller value of this distance as compared with the theoretical one for denatured DNA to the aggregation of macroions.

    Notizen: A hydrate of cellulose II can be formed by swelling Fortisan fibers in hydrazine and then washing in water. The hydrate is stable at 93% relative humidity and has a monoclinic unit cell with dimensions a = 9.02 Å, b = 9.63 Å, c = 10.34 Å, and γ = 116.0°; the space group is P21. The unit cell contains disaccharide sections of two chains and approximately four water molecules. The structure was refined using the LALS method, based on 10 observed and 10 unobserved reflections. An antiparallel arrangement of adjacent chains was assumed, since this occurs in cellulose II (the starting material), and the hydrate also reverts to cellulose II on dehydration. Refinement of the positions and side-chain conformations of the chains shows that the chains are stacked in the same way as in cellulose II, and the hydrate is formed by insertion of water molecules between the stacks. However, all efforts to arrange the water molecules in crystallographically regular positions led to unsatisfactory agreement between the observed and calculated intensities. These results suggest an irregular arrangement of the water molecules, which was modeled using water-weighted atomic scattering factors. The analysis resulted in two refined models with relative chain staggers of ∼ +c/4 and ∼ -c/4, which are indistinguishable in terms of the x-ray agreement. Our preference is for the +c/4 model, for which the stacks of chains are analogous to those in cellulose II.

    Notizen: The interaction of calcium ions with α-elastin has been investigated by equilibrium dialysis, CD, and microcalorimetric techniques. Consistent with literature data, it was found that the interaction in water is very poor. In trifluoroethanol (TFE), equilibrium dialysis experiments showed that calcium ions bind to ∼-elastin with an association constant of ∼250 L × mol-1. Such a figure is not consistent with highly specific, highly selective binding. It was also found that the CD response is not directly proportional to the amount of bound calcium but depends on the protein concentration. From microcalorimetric experiments it was found that the heat effect relative to the binding process is of the order of 1.9 kcal/g ion. From this figure and from the binding constant, a positive ΔS value of about 17 e.u. was evaluated, leading to the conclusion that the binding process is entropy driven. From microcalorimetric measurements a ΔH of 1.5 kcal/residue was found for the calcium-induced conformational transition of the protein.

    Notizen: All of the coat proteins of the sporozoite and merozoite stages of Plasmodium, determined to date, contain tandem repeats and most of these contain at least one proline residue. These tandemly repeated segments of the circumsporozite (CS) proteins of P. falciparum and P. knowlesi have been shown to constitute an immunodominant epitope. Antibodies to these peptide segments have been shown to be protective and cause the shedding of the CS protein, known as the CSP reaction. In this study, four synthetic peptides were prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis. The first peptide corresponds to the tetrapeptide tandem repeat in the CS protein of P. falciparum, repeated eight times, (NANP)8. The second peptide is an analogue of the first in which glycine is substituted for proline, (NANG)8. The third peptide corresponds to the tandem repeat of P. knowlesi, PK(1-24), which is repeated twice (QAQGDGANAGQP)2. The fourth peptide is a tetrapeptide repeat, corresponding to the C-terminal tetrapeptide of PK(1-24) and is repeated eight times, (AGQP)8. It is shown by CD measurements that the presence of proline in these repeats induces an increase in β-sheet (β-turn) content in the (NANP)8 peptide relative to the repeat of (NANG)8 and PK(1-24) peptide in aqueous media. The (AGQP)8 peptide has the highest β-sheet (β-turn) content in the synthetic peptides. It is concluded that this increase in defined structure correlates well with and hence may contribute to the increased antigenicity in these repeats.

    Notizen: Self-assembling chemotherapeutic agents are mixtures of relatively nontoxic precursors that can combine chemically under physiological conditions to form products with greater cytotoxic and/or antimicrobial activity than either of the precursors. Combinations that form products more rapidly in or near the target (tumor, pathogen, virally infected cell) than in normal tissues will exhibit target-selective synergism, thus exhibiting an antitarget selectivity that is greater than the selectivities of the product (e.g., a hydrazone) and of either precursor (e.g., a hydrazine derivative or ketone) used singly.This paper describes the target-selective cytotoxic synergism of a cationic aldehyde (A) and a cationic acylhydrazine (B) containing a triarylalkylphophonium moiety against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (ELA) in culture, in addition to reviewing previous work on self-assembling cytotoxins. The synergism between A and B is carcinoma selective when the ELA cells (the target) are compared to CV-1, A, B and the hydrazone C resulting from their reaction are lipophilic delocalized cations that selectively inhibit ELA growth relative to CV-1 growth. The hydrazone C is more growth inhibitory than either A or B for both cell lines. A combination of A with an unreactive analogue of B and a combination of B with an unreactive analogue of A did not synergistically inhibit ELA proliferation. The degree of synergism is greater against the ELA cells than against the CV-1 cells. These data, together with hydrazone formation kinetics, suggest that A and B are both concentrated together selectively inside the ELA due to the transmembrane potentials, reacting inside the ELA cells at a higher velocity than inside the CV-1 cells to form the more growth-inhibitory hydrazone C.

    Notizen: Cyclic pentapeptides are excellent models for reverse turns and have been used extensively in our laboratory to explore the influence of different amino acid sequences on turn preference. This paper is divided into two parts: In the first, we review our previous studies of cyclic pentapeptides. We summarize work that demonstrates the range of conformations possible within the cyclic pentapeptide backbone, the importance of sequence chirality in determining the backbone fold, and the utility of these cyclic pentapeptides as models for various turns. In the second, we present new results on two cyclic pentapeptides that contain β-turns with Pro-Ala or Pro-Asn sequences in the i + 1 and i + 2 positions. By stereochemical criteria, a type I β-turn is expected to be preferred by such L-L sequences. On the other hand, in proteins Asn occurs frequently in the i + 2 position of type II turns. We asked whether the same propensity would be manifest in an isolated model peptide, and if so, what the interactions were that influenced the relative stability of the type I and type II turns. To address these questions we have compared the conformational behavior of two peptides: cyclo(Gly-Pro-Ala-D-Phe-Pro) and cyclo(D-Ala-Pro-Asn-Gly-Pro). From previous studies, we anticipated that both peptides would contain an inverse γ-turn and a β-turn which consisted of either Gly-Pro-Ala-D-Phe or D-Ala-Pro-Asn-Gly in positions i to i + 3, respectively. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis confirms this overall backbone conformation. Furthermore, quantitative nuclear Overhauser effect measurements in combination with molecular dynamics simulations and torsionally-forced energy minimizations have enabled us to determine that both type I and type II β-turns are present in equilibrium in these peptides. The introduction of Asn in position i + 2 shifts this equilibrium significantly towards type II. We have done preliminary assessment of the possible side-chain/backbone conformations that contribute to the shift in populations.

    Notizen: To better understand the structural basis of protein-DNA interactions, the conformational changes that accompany these interactions need to be described. In order to develop a methodological approach to this problem, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with derivative resolution enhancement has been used to identify conformational changes that occur when a 29-residue synthetic peptide binds nonspecifically to heterogenous cellular DNA in aqueous solution. The peptide sequence was chosen de novo, in order to rationally design a peptide model that would allow the relationship between DNA binding and the stability of protein secondary structure to be studied. Peptide at a concentration of 100-200 μM produces 50% saturation of heterogenous phage DNA sequences as well as of short synthetic oligonucleotides. FTIR spectra reveal significant changes in peptide and DNA upon binding. Second-derivative spectra resolve the amide I band of native peptide into components located at 1627 (β-strand), 1658 (α-helix), and 1681 (turn or β-strand) cm-1, with a distinct shoulder at 1647 cm-1 (disordered structure). Assignment of the 1681 cm-1 vibration to a turn conformation is supported by uv CD studies, which indicate significant amounts of turn structure in unbound peptide. Ultraviolet CD also confirms the existence of disordered and β-strand regions in the free peptide. Upon interacting with DNA the band at 1681 cm-1 (turn) is no longer seen; a new band appears at 1675 cm-1; the 1627 cm-1 band (β-strand) is considerably reduced in intensity; the position of the α-helical (1658 cm-1) component remains unchanged; the shoulder at 1647 cm-1 (disorder) disappears. The new vibration at 1675 cm-1 is characteristic of β-strand structures. The asymmetric stretch (vAS) of the DNA phosphates shifts from 1223 (unbound) to 1229 cm-1 (bound); the relative intensities of νAS and the PO2- symmetric stretch (vs) are altered upon peptide binding. The data is consistent with the following conclusions: (a)DNA binding changes the secondary structure of the peptide, (b) disordered region(s) are only observed in free peptide, i.e., DNA binding stabilizes and increases order in the peptide secondary structure, (c) turn(s) change into β-strand and/or α-helical conformations(s) when peptide binds to DNA, (d) a β-strand conformation that is characterized bya 1627 cm-1 vibration is present in free and bound peptide, (e) there is a particular β-strand vibration/conformation that is only present in the bound peptide, (f) an α-helical region exists in both free and bound peptide, (g) DNA remains in a B-family conformation upon peptide binding, and (h) DNA phosphates participate in peptide binding and/or subtle changes occur in the DNA conformation upon complex formation.

    Notizen: Previous studies have demonstrated that His 12 plays a major role in the pH-dependent stability of the helix formed by the isolated C-peptide (residues 1-13 of ribonuclease A). Here, amino acid replacement experiments show that His 12+ stabilizes the C-peptide helix chiefly by interacting with Phe 8. The Phe 8 ⃛ His 12+ ring interaction is specific for the protonated form of His 12 (His 12+) and the interaction is not screened significantly by NaCl, unlike the charged group ⃛ helix dipole interactions studied earlier in C-peptide. Analogs of C-peptide that are unable to form the Phe 8 ⃛ His 12+ interaction show large increases in helix content for Phe → Ala and His → Ala. Therefore, the helical tendencies of the individual residues Phe, His, and Ala are important in determining the result of a replacement experiment. Since the side chains of Phe 8 and His 12 probably interact within the N-terminal helix of ribonuclease A, the existence of the Phe 8 ⃛ His 12+ interaction in the isolated C-peptide helix adds to the evidence that the C-peptide helix is an autonomous folding unit.

    Notizen: Synthetic RNA poly[r(A-T)] has been synthesized and its CD spectral properties compared to those of poly[r(A-U)], poly[d(A-T)], and poly[d(A-U)] in various salt and ethanolic solutions. The CD spectra of poly[r(A-T)] in an aqueous buffer and of poly[d(A-T)] in 70.8% v/v ethanol are very similar, suggesting that they both adopt the same A conformation. On the other hand, the CD spectra of poly[r(A-T)] and of poly[r(A-U)] differ in aqueous, and even more so in ethanolic, solutions. We have recently observed a two-state salt-induced isomerization of poly[r(A-U)] into chiral condensates, perhaps of Z-RNA [M. Vorlíčková, J. Kypr, and T. M. Jovin, (1988) Biopolymers 27, 351-354]. It is shown here that poly[r(A-T)] does not undergo this isomerization. Both the changes in secondary structure and tendency to aggregation are different for poly[r(A-T)] and poly[r(A-U)] in aqueous salt solutions. In most cases, the CD spectrum of poly[r(A-U)] shows little modification of its CD spectrum unless the polymer denatures or aggregates, whereas poly[r(A-T)] displays noncooperative alterations in its CD spectrum and a reduced tendency to aggregation. At high NaCl concentrations, poly[r(A-T)] and poly[r(A-U)] condense into ψ (-) and ψ (+) structures, respectively, indicating that the type of aggregation is dictated by the polynucleotide chemical structure and the corresponding differences in conformational properties.

    Notizen: The Tm of internal loop-forming (dA · dT)N domains in pBR322 DNA has been measured over a tenfold range of [Na+]. The slopes SN = dTm/d log[Na+] are linear and decrease in magnitude with decreasing loop size N, signaling a reduction in Na+ released during the transition of these domains to the coil state. Values of SN decrese linearly with increasing N-1 in accordance with the expectation of a simple model for the occurrence of a gradient of long-range electrostatic forces at helix-coil boundaries, and extrapolate almost precisely to the value of S∞ observed for (dA · dT)∞. These results indicate (1) less counterion is released per phosphate residue from the finite loop than from the infinitesized loop, and (2) the difference in binding is constant for each boundary formed and independent of the size of the loop within the range examined: ∼ 350 base pair (bp) 〉 N 〉 71 bp. The slope of the dependence of SN on N-1 indicates the region of higher charge density at the boundary extends at least 18 Å into the coil and probably 40-50 Å before dropping to a value characteristic of the unperturbed coil. The free energy for excess counterion binding at boundaries can be expressed by \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {{ - \Delta G} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{ - \Delta G} {RT}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {RT}} = 10.47{\rm log}\left[{{\rm Na}^ + } \right] + 5.234 $$\end{document} When the loop entropy function in a statistical mechanical algorithm for the dissociation of DNA is weighted by this quantity, calculated Tm are seen to vary by only ±0.09°C from observed.

    Notizen: A novel thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, [2, 4-MePro3]-TRH (2, 4-MePro: 2-carboxy-2, 4-methanopyrrolidine), has been synthesized using a rapid solid phase peptide synthesis method, and its conformational properties investigated by one- and two- dimensional (2D) nmr spectroscopy and by proton Overhauser measurements. Following a published approach, calibrated interproton Overhauser effects were used together with distance geometry analysis to deduce that the single conformation of the His-2, 4-MePro tertiary amide bond is trans in aqueous solution. This conclusion was corroborated by 2D dipolar-correlated (NOESY) spectroscopy. A preferentially extended conformation is indicated by the nmr data, similar to that of TRH. The φ, ψ conformational space of 2, 4-MePro is, however, significantly different from that of trans proline and the structural consequences of these differences at the C-terminus are discussed. The distribution of histidine side-chain conformation in the TRH analogue was deduced from coupling constants and from the short-range interaction between the imidazole ring and one of the prochiral faces of the 2, 4-MePro side chain.

    Notizen: The effects of calcium ions on the solution properties of porcine submaxillary mucin (PSM) have been investigated by static and dynamic light scattering. The weight average molecular weights of PSM fractions are unaffected by the addition of up to 0.5M CaCl2: these data are within experimental error of those for solutions in 0.1M NaCl. The distribution of relaxation frequencies derived from the dynamic data shows the existence of two distinct relaxation modes. The average relaxation times have been interpreted to yield the z-average translational diffusion coefficient and the longest intramolecular relaxation time τ1. A plot of τ1 vs 〈1/Rh〉z-3 is linear, and consistent with plots of such data recorded for PSM in 0.1M NaCl and 6M GdnHCl solutions. However, the τ1 values and the associated results for 〈Rh-1〉z-1 in 0.5M CaCl2 are smaller than those determined in 0.1M NaCl. This suggests that the conformation of PSM in CaCl2 solution is more contracted than those in the other two solvents. These results are consistent with the compact packaging of mucin in the secretary granules that have elevated Ca2+ levels.

    Notizen: Calorimetric titrations have been performed on the binding of ethidium and propidium to calf thymus DNA at temperatures in the 15-60°C range. Enthalpy changes (ΔHB) derived from these experiments performed with the new Omega reaction calorimeter have a precision of ±0.10 kcal/mol or less at all temperatures. For ethidium (a monocation), ΔHB varies little with temperature, and the heat capacity change (ΔCP) for the binding reaction derived from these parameters is 10 cal/deg/mol. In contrast, ΔHB changes from -6.5 to -8.1 kcal/mol for DNA binding of propidium (a dication due to a charged amine group at the end of an alkyl chain attached to the phenanthridine ring nitrogen), and ΔCP is -57 cal/deg/mol. At 21°C a plot of ΔHB vs mole ratio is curved downward for propidium in the 0.08-0.25 range, whereas the same plot at 45°C is a straight line from 0.05 to 0.15 and sharply downward thereafter. Similar plots for ethidium follow the latter pattern between 25 and 50°C. These observations and our analyses of ΔHB and ΔSB are consistent with the hypothesis that the location in the DNA complex and the rotational motion of the alkylamine chain change substantially over the temperature range in this study. Only near 50°C is ΔHB equal for the binding of these two cations to DNA, and caution must be used in analyses of enthalpic effects when the temperature dependence for ΔHB is not available.

    Notizen: The triphenylethylene antiestrogen trans-tamoxifen is an effective antitumor agent used in the treatment of human breast cancer. While the antiestrogenic activity of trans-tamoxifen clearly plays an important role in its tumoricidal action, some of the biological effects of trans-tamoxifen are independent of estrogen. Therapeutic concentrations of trans-tamoxifen inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) and calmodulin-dependent enzymes. PKC and calmodulin play critical roles in growth regulation, and there is evidence that inhibition of PKC and calmodulin by trans-tamoxifen may contribute to the antiumor activity of the drug in vivo.The geometric isomers cis- and trans-tamoxifen have a number of opposing biological activities that have been attributed to their interactions with the estrogen receptor, Cis-tamoxifen is generally estrogenic, whereas trans-tamoxifen is generally antiestrogenic. In this report, we compared the effects of cis- and trans-tamoxifen on PKC activity and on calmodulin-dependent cAMP phosphodiesterase activity. Cis- and trans-tamoxifen inhibited the Ca2+- and phosphatidylserine- (PS-) dependent activity of purified rat brain PKC with indistinguishable potencies, but cis-tamoxifen was somewhat more potent than the trans isomer in the inhibition of the Ca2+- and PS-independent activity of PKC. In addition, cis-tamoxifen was the more potent isomer in the inhibition of T lymphocyte activation, an event that entails a PKC-requiring signal transduction pathway. A modest preference of the cis isomer was also observed in the inhibition of a calmodulin-dependent cAMP phosphodiesterase. These results suggest a congruence between triphenylethylene binding sites on PKC and on the activated calmodulin-cAMP phosphodiesterase complex. We conclude that the interactions of cis- and trans-tamoxifen with PKC and the activated calmodulin-cAMP phosphodiesterase complex offer a criterion for distinguishing biological effects of triphenylethylenes that are due to interactions with the estrogen receptor from the biological effects resulting from their inhibitory activities against PKC and calmodulin-dependent processes.

    Notizen: A peptide affinity inactivator, Ac-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-(BrAc)Orn-Leu-Gly, was used as a tool to probe for active site residues in the catalytic subunit of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The peptide inactivated the catalytic subunit in an active site-directed and monophasic manner with a first-order rate constant of 0.03 min-1 and a dissociation constant of 675 μM. Studies with radioactive peptide indicated that approximately one equivalent of peptide was incorporated into each protein molecule. Protein sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys-199. A possible location for Cys-199 within the active site is suggested.

    Notizen: The alkaline phosphatase signal peptide participates in transport of the enzyme to the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. The signal sequence, like that of other signal peptides, is composed of a polar amino-terminal segment, a central region rich in hydrophobic residues and a carboxy-terminal region recognized by signal peptidase. We have previously shown that an alkaline phosphatase signal peptide mutant containing a polyeucine core region functions efficiently in transport of the enzyme [D. A. Kendall, S. C. Bock, and E. T. Kaiser (1986) Nature 321, 706-708]. In this study, some of the amino acid changes involved in the polyleucine sequence are examined individually. A Phe to Leu substitution as the sole change results in impaired transport properties in contrast to when it is combined with three other amino acid changes in the polyleucine-containing sequence. A mutant with a Pro to Leu substitution in the hydrophobic core region is comparable to wild type while the same type of substitution (Pro to Leu) in the carboxy-terminal segment results in substantial accumulation of the mutant precursor. Finally, introduction of a basic residue into the hydrophobic segment (Leu to Arg substitution) results in a complete export block. These results exemplify the spectrum of properties produced by individual residue changes and suggest there is some interplay between hydrophobicity and conformation for signal peptide function.

    Notizen: A search for highly amphiphilic α-helices has been made in a data base of protein sequences, using the helical hydrophobic moment as a criterion of amphiphilicity. The protein segments of largest hydrophobic moment have been analyzed. For the segments whose structures are known, they are in fact α-helices. Two of the segments having very large hydrophobic moments are from the smaller C-terminal portion of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein gp41. Also, among segments having large hydrophobic moments, but not among the most extreme, are lytic peptides such as melittin. Melittin seeks surfaces between polar and apolar phases, including the membrane-water interface. It is conceivable that the gp41 segments of extreme hydrophobic moment may participate in one of the membrane-related functions of the HIV virus.

    Notizen: To examine the importance of the aromatic side chains of enkephalin on opiate activity, we report the synthesis and conformational analysis of a series of analogues related to enkephalin with β-naphthylalanine in place of phenylalanine at the fourth position. Three linear analogues (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(L and D)-β Nal(1)-Leu-NH2 and Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-β Nal(2)-Leu-NH2) were initially synthesized to examine the effect of the substitution on biological activity. The increased activity of these peptides at the μ-opiate receptor, compared to native Leu-enkephalin, prompted us to examine the more conformational constrained analogues, Tr-c[D-A2bu-Gly-(L and D)-β Nal(1)-Leu], incorporating a α,γ-diaminobutyric acid at the second position and cyclization to the carboxylic end of the leucine. These two cyclic analogues provide insight into the necessity for the L chirality of the aromatic residue at position 4. The Tyr-c[D-A2bu-Gly-L-β Nal(1)-Leu] analogue is highly potent and displays a slight preference for the μ receptor. The conformational analysis indicates that despite the high flexibility of the tyrosine side chain, the aromatic rings of the tyrosine and naphthylalanine are relatively distant from each other. The presence of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds help maintain the conformation of the 14-membered backbone ring that keeps the side chains directed away from each other. These findings are in agreement with our model of an extended structure required for μ selectivity and a folded form with close aromatic ring placement for δ selectivity.
