    Notes: A winter flounder antifreeze polypeptide (HPLC-6) has been studied in vacuo and in aqueous solution using molecular dynamics computer simulation techniques. The helical conformation of this polypeptide was found to be stable both in vacuum and in solution. The major stabilizing interactions were found to be the main-chain hydrogen bonds, a salt-bridge interaction, and solute-solvent hydrogen bonds. A significant bending in the middle of the polypeptide chain was observed both in vacuo and in solvent at 300 K. Possible causes of the bending are discussed. From simulations of mutant polypeptide molecules in vacuo, it is concluded that the bend in the native polypeptide was caused by side chain to backbone hydrogen bond competition involving the Thr 24 side chain and facilitated by strains on the helix resulting from the Lys 18-Glu 22 salt bridge. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique has been applied to investigate solution and gel structures of alginate in the absence and presence of two divalent cations: Ca(II) and Cu(II). We have observed a broad maximum in the scattering curve, a characteristic of polyelectrolyte, for the purified alginate sample. The scattering maximum disappears in excess of added simple salt and shifts toward the higher angle region with increasing alginate concentration. Concentration dependence of the position and intensity of the maximum follows power law relations with exponents close to those predicted by theory. Data analysis shows an increase in correlation length ξ and cross-sectional diameter d0, of polymer chains upon gelation and suggests that a dimeric structure is adopted in the junction zone, consistent with the “egg-box” model previously proposed. In the Ca(II)-alginate system, the molecular parameters ξ and d0 are found to have good correlation with the macroscopic properties of gelation, such as gel point determined by viscosity measurements. However, for the Cu(II)-alginate system there is no clearly transitional behavior observed in ξ and d0, implying that the junction zone may be replaced by a more uniformly distributed site binding of Cu(II) ions to the carboxyl groups of both mannuronate and guluronate residues, in confirmation of previous 13C-nmr results. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The thermal properties of two ferrocene derivatives, substituted by either one or two cholesteryloxycarbonyl units, were investigated. While the monosubstituted ferrocene derivative 1 was found to be non-mesomorphic, the disubstituted ferrocene derivative 2 exhibited a crystal smectic-B phase. This result shows that ferrocene-containing thermotropic liquid crystals, despite the bulkiness of the metallocene core, are not limited to disordered calamitic phases.

    Notes: It is shown that supermolecules with a tetrahedral symmetry and appropriate side-chains exhibit liquid-crystalline phase behaviour. The use of an optimised hydrosylation reaction allows for the synthesis of materials that have four mesogenic groups attached to a siloxane core, where the conformation and the configuration are unambiguous. The materials show low glass transition temperatures and, depending on the spacer length, complex liquid-crystalline morphologies.

    Notes: Synthesis and Structures of Metal-Containing Eight-Membered N  -  S  -  O HeterocyclesRacemic N-alkylsulfinamides 1a, b react with aluminium, gallium, and indium alkyls 2a  -  d to form puckered eight-membered NSO-complexes [Me2AlN(CF3)2C6H3S(tBu)O]2 (3a), [Me2AlN-(Ph)S(tBu)O]2 (3b), [Me2GaN(CF3)2C6H3S(tBu)O]2 (3c), [(Me3- SiCH2)2GaN(CF3)2C6H3S(tBu)O]2 (3d), [(Me3SiCH2)2InN(Ph)S- (tBu)O]2 (3e), and [(Me3SiCH2)2InN(CF3)2C6H3S(tBu)O]2 (3f). Compounds 3a, c, d crystallize in the triclinic space group P¯1. A comparision of the X-ray structures of 3a, c, d reveals that the sulfur atoms in one molecule of 3d have either (R,R) or (S,S) configuration (Z = 2). In the case of less bulky ligands at the metal atoms (3a, c) both configurations at the sulfur atoms (R,S) are present in one molecule (Z = 1).

    Notes: Penrose states that quantum effects can occur even in relatively large systems when energy differences remain small. This is just the situation with polymer materials. A quantum description by Penrose of the formation of quasi-crystals can be rewritten to apply to polymer crystallization. The implications of the need to take account of quantum effects are discussed. Another approach based on the quantization of energy levels in clusters of atoms offers a possible explanation of heat setting in nylon and polyester fibers. Finally some problems of the interpretation of quantum theory are discussed.

    Notes: Material property models for poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) have been combined with a residual stress model to provide a means for investigating the effect of crystallization process on the residual stress development in semicrystalline materials. The analysis shows that crystallization causes an increase in the residual stress levels. This increase is affected through an increase in the resin modulus values and through the resin modulus build-up at higher temperatures. The shrinkage due to crystallization was found to have no effect on the residual stress development in neat PEEK.

    Notes: The new polymerisation monomer bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)aminophenyl]-phenylphosphine oxide (p-BAPPO) was prepared in good yield by the nucleophilic substitution reaction between bis(4-fluorophenyl)phenylphosphine oxide and a large excess of 1,2-diaminoethane. Five novel polyamides, incorporating phosphine oxide groups within the polymer backbone were synthesised by the condensation reaction of p-BAPPO with a series of aromatic and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. The thermal properties of these polymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Glass transition temperatures in the 180-215°C range were recorded. Although we observed their thermooxidative stabilities (5% weight loss 〉 345°C) to be lower by 40-70°C than those previously found for wholly aromatic polyamides with phosphine oxide groups within the parent chain, char yields upon prolonged heating at 650°C were still excellent (26-38%). Also, good solubility in aprotic polar solvents was observed for all polyamides synthesised. The new polyamides clearly represent significant progress in the quest for processible fire retardant materials. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 2865-2870, 1997

    Notes: By inserting appropriate peptide ligands into surface loops on globular proteins, we expect to develop probes for the location, accessibility, and steric and electrostatic environment of these ligand-binding sites on their membrane-bound receptors. Three residues in a loop on the surface of E. coli alkaline phosphatase were substituted by an 18-residue peptide containing the receptor-binding segment of somatostatin-14 without significantly affecting the catalytic properties of the enzyme. This hybrid protein was then used to investigate the ligand-binding site of somatostatin receptors. Tryptic cleavage of the hybrid protein within the inserted sequence, and binding of the hybrid protein to antisomatostatin antibodies demonstrated the surface accessibility of the guest peptide. Both the wild-type enzyme and the hormone-enzyme hybrid displaced 125I-labeled somatostatin from rat brain membrane receptors only at high concentrations. How-ever, chemical cationization of the hybrid protein, which again did not disturb the phosphatase activity, enhanced its receptor-binding potency to a level only 23 times lower than that of somatostatin itself and 280 times higher than that of the cationized wild-type protein. This alkaline phosphatase/somatostatin hybrid protein appears, therefore, to be a suitable starting point for the development of probes for the steric and electrostatic environment of the ligand-binding site of somatostatin receptors. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
