    Notes: Mass spectrometry (MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI) has shown utility for studying noncovalent protein complexes, as it offers advantages in sensitivity, speed, and mass accuracy. The stoichiometry of the binding partners can be easily deduced from the molecular weight measurement. In many examples of protein complexes, the gas phase-based measurement is consistent with the expected solution phase binding characteristics. This quality suggests the utility of ESI-MS for investigating solution phase molecular interactions. Complexes composed of proteins from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been studied using ESI-MS. Multiply charged protein dimers from HIV integrase catalytic core (F185K) and HIV protease have been observed. Furthermore, the ternary complex between HIV protease dimer and inhibitor pepstatin A was studied as a function of solution pH. Zinc binding to zinc finger-containing nucleocapsid protein (NCp7) and the NCp7-psi RNA 1:1 stoichiometry complex was also studied by ESI-MS. No protein-RNA complex was observed in the absence of zinc, consistent with the role of the zinc finger motifs for RNA binding. Proteins Suppl. 2:28-37, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Currently, no fast and accurate methods exist for measuring extant biokinetic parameters for biofilm systems. This article presents a new approach to measure extant biokinetic parameters of biofilms and examines the numerical feasibility of such a method. A completely mixed attached growth bioreactor is subjected to a pulse of substrate, and oxygen consumption is monitored by on-line measurement of dissolved oxygen concentration in the bulk liquid. The oxygen concentration profile is then fit with a mechanistic mathematical model for the biofilm to estimate biokinetic parameters. In this study a transient biofilm model is developed and solved to generate dissolved oxygen profiles in the bulk liquid. Sensitivity analysis of the model reveals that the dissolved oxygen profiles are sufficiently sensitive to the biokinetic parameters - the maximum specific growth rate coefficient (⁁μ) and the half-saturation coefficient (Ks) - to support parameter estimation if accurate estimates of other model parameters can be obtained. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted with the model to add typical measurement error to the generated dissolved oxygen profiles. Even with measurement error in the dissolved oxygen profile, a pair of biokinetic parameters is always retrievable. The geometric mean of the parameter estimates from the Monte Carlo simulations prove to be an accurate estimator for the true biokinetic values. Higher precision is obtained for ⁁μ estimates than for Ks estimates. In summary, this theoretical analysis reveals that an on-line respirometric assay holds promise for measuring extant biofilm kinetic parameters. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The conditions for hybridization and detection of enzyme-labeled probes have been optimized in our laboratory for use with oligonucleotides coupled to alkaline phosphatase. We have examined several enzyme-linked probes which are complimentary to commonly used variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) loci to determine the feasibility of using chemiluminescence for routine application in forensic DNA analysis. It was found that a chemiluminescent detection system employing an alkaline phosphatase activated dioxetane in the presence of chemiluminescent enhancers provides a high degree of sensitivity in hybridization protocols with a significant savings in overall filter processing time. The chemiluminescent system achieved equal or greater sensitivity than observed for 32P-labeled probes in much shorter development times. Furthermore, a new chemiluminescent substrate, Lumi-Phos® Plus, has recently been investigated and found to further decrease the filter development time for forensic assays.
