    Notes: Abstract The gene coding for the thermostable d-hydantoinase from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus SD1 was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was completely determined. The d-hydantoinase protein showed considerable amino acid sequence homology (20–28%) with other hydantoinases and functionally related allantoinases and dihydroorotases. Strikingly the sequence of the enzyme from B. stearothermophilus SD1 exhibited greater than 89% identity with hydantoinases from thermophilic bacteria. Despite the extremely high amino acid homology among the hydantoinases from thermophiles, the C-terminal regions of the enzymes were completely different in both sequence and predicted secondary structure, implying that the C-terminal region plays an important role in determining the biochemical properties of the enzymes. Alignment of the sequence of the d-hydantoinase from B. stearothermophilus SD1 with those of other functionally related enzymes revealed four conserved regions, and five histidines and an acidic residue were found to be conserved, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship between all these enzymes.

    Notes: Summary Poly(p-tert-butyldimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arene-tetramethyldisiloxane) (TBCX-TMDS) and poly(dimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arene-tetramethyl-disiloxane) (CX-TMDS), have been prepared and used as stationary phases for isothermal capillary gas chromatographic separations of positional isomers. Retention factors and separation factors for the isomers were measured. The isomers investigated were well-resolved on the two phases. Retention of all the solutes investigated is greater on TBCX-TMDS than on CX-TMDS, probably because of extra dispersive interactions of the solutes with thetert-butyl groups of the phase. Separation factors for closely-eluting isomer pairs are similar on the two phases. This seems to indicate either that the solutes are retained by non-inclusion processes or that if the isomer molecules do enter the cavity of the calixarene, i.e. the solute is retained by inclusion, thetert-butyl groups do not play a role in discriminating between the isomers.

    Notes: Summary A rapid and new clean-up method utilizing sulfuric acid treatment is demonstrated to identify and quantify the level of organochlorine (OC) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticide residue concentrations in herbal essential oils by gas chromatography (GC). Essential oils fortified with pesticides, that are extracted from herbs by steam distillation are partitioned with 65% acetonitrile/water(v/v) and treated with sulfuric acid at different reaction times and sulfuric acid concentrations. Optimal conditions, to avoid interference from essential oils in gas chromatographic analysis, is 17% (v/v) of a mixed phase ratio of sulfuric acid to organic solvent (hexane/ethyl ether=9∶1, v/v) and a reaction time of 30s. The response of the flame ionization detector (FID) is linear for all pesticides determined. Recovery of pesticides from fortified herbs studied are in the range of 75% to 111% (RSD, 4% to 11%) for OC, and 72% to 116% (RSD, 2% to 11%) for OP. Although sulfuric acid treatment destroys carbamate and some organophosphorus pesticides, this method has efficiently reduced matrix interference and provides a rapid, economical clean-up method with excellent linear data having low coefficients of variation for the GC analyses of BHC isomers, DDD, DDE, DDT, chlorothalonil, chloropyrifos, tetradifon, fenitrothion, malathion, and parathion in matrices of herbal essential oils.
