    Notes: The major unfolded form of ribonuclease A is known to show well-populated structural intermediates transiently during folding at 0°-10°C. We describe here how the exchange reaction between D2O and peptide NH protons can be used to trap folding intermediates. The protons protected from exchange during folding can be characterized by 1H-nmr after folding is complete. The feasibility of using 1H-nmr to resolve a set of protected peptide protons is demonstrated by using a specially prepared sample of ribonuclease S in D2O in which only the peptide protons of residues 7-14 are in the 1H-form. All eight of these protected peptide protons are H-bonded. Resonance assignments made on isolated peptides containing these residues have been used to identify the protected protons. Other sets of protected protons trapped in the 1H-form can also be isolated by differential exchange, using either ribonuclease A or S. Earlier model compound studies have indicated that H-bonded folding intermediates should be unstable in water unless stabilized by additional interactions. Nevertheless, peptides derived from ribonuclease A that contain residues 3-13 do show partial helix formation in water at low temperatures. We discuss the possibility that specific interactions between side chains can stabilize short α-helixes by nucleating the helix, and that specific interactions may also define the helix boundaries at early stages in folding.

    Notes: Conformational-energy calculations of the zwitterionic forms of Trp, Gly-Trp, Pro-Trp, Phe-Trp, Trp-Gly, Trp-Phe, Trp-Trp, and Trp-Gly-Gly were done using an empirical energy program for peptides (ECEPP). The resulting low-energy conformations were analyzed for the presence of hydrogen bonds, the distances between carbonyl groups and the indole ring, the distances between the N-terminal amino group and the indole ring, the dihedral angle between the planes containing carbonyl groups and the indole ring, and for dipeptides with two aromatic side chains, the dihedral angle and distance between the planes of the aromatic rings. This information was correlated with literature data from x-ray crystallographic studies, fluorescence lifetime studies, and quantum-yield experiments; proposed models of intramolecular quenching are discussed in light of the peptide conformations.

    Notes: Fractionated samples of sodium hyaluronate of low molecular weight were used to calibrate the carbazole method for glucuronyl analsis and to determine the density increment (based on dry weight) of 0.444 (±0.003) mL/g in water and 0.386 (±0.003) mL/g for samples dialyzed against 0.2M NaCl. Weight-average molecular weights obtained by high-speed sedimentation equilibrium were used to calibrate the limiting viscosity number [η] in 0.2M NaCl, which gave [η]/Mw = 0.0028 (±0.0002) mL/g, valid to Mw = 0.0028 (±0.0002) mL/g, valid to Mw = 105. Experimental data from this work and the literature, including viscosity and light- and small-angle x-ray scattering measurements, were compared to theoretical chain models of the Kratky-Porod (KP) wormlike and the helical wormlike (HW) chain, as treated by Yamakawa and collaborators. Although either model could be fitted to experimental data about equally well with consistent parameters, provided those for the HW chain were of weakly helical nature, calculation of the unperturbed meansquare end-to-end distance as a function of chain length from a conformational model favored the KP chain alternative. The parameters that provide the best fit to experimental data for the KP wormlike model are a persistence length of 4.5-5 nm and a diameter of 1.1 nm. The latter is resonable for a hydrated hydrodynamic cylinder in view of the approximate unhydrated value of 0.7 nm estimated from the density increment.

    Imino 1H- and 31P-nmr analysis of the interaction of propidium and ethidium with DNA (1985)

    Notes: At low temperature and low salt concentration, both imino proton and 31p-nmr spectra of DNA complexes with the intercalators ethidium and propidium are in the slow-exchange region. Increasing temperature and/or increasing salt concentration results in an increase in the site exchange rate. Ring-current effects from the intercalated phenanthridinium ring of ethidium and propidium cause upfield shifts of the imino protons of A · T and G · C base pairs, which are quite similar for the two intercalators. The limiting induced chemical shifts for propidium and ethidium at saturation of DNA binding sites are approximately 0.9 ppm for A · T and 1.1 ppm for G · C base pairs. The similarity of the shifts for ethidium and propidium, in both the slow- and fast-exchange regions over the entire titration of DNA, shows that a binding model for propidium with neighbor-exclusion binding and negative ligand cooperativity is correct. The fact that a unique chemical shift is obtained for imino protons at intercalated sites over the entire titration and that no unshifted imino proton peaks remain at saturation binding of ethidium and propidium supports a neighbor-exclusion binding model with intercalators bound at alternating sites rather than in clusters on the double helix. Addition of ethidium and propidium to DNA results in downfield shifts in 31P-nmr spectra. At saturation ratios of intercalator to DNA base pairs in the titration, a downfield shoulder (approximately -2.7 ppm) is apparent, which accounts for approximately 15% of the spectral area. The main peak is at -3.9 to -4.0 ppm relative to -4.35 in uncomplexed DNA. The simplest neighbor-binding model predicts a downfield peak with approximately 50% of the spectral area and an upfield peak, near the chemical shift for uncomplexed DNA, with 50% of the area. This is definitely not the case with these intercalators. The observed chemical shifts and areas for the DNA complexes can be explained by models, for example, that involve spreading the intercalation-induced unwinding of the double helix over several base pairs and/or a DNA sequence- and conformation-dependent heterogeneity in intercalation-induced chemical shifts and resulting exchange rates.

    Sequence-dependence of the CD of synthetic double-stranded RNAs containing inosinate instead of guanylate subunits (1986)

    Notes: The CD spectra and melting profiles have been measured for nine synthetic double-stranded RNAs containing I · C instead of G · C base pairs: poly[r(I) · r(C)], poly[r(I-C) · r(I-C)], poly[r(A-I-C) · r(I-C-U)], poly[r(A-C) · r(I-U)], poly[r(A-I) · r(C-U)], poly[r(A-C-C) · r(I-I-U)], poly[r(A-A-C) · r(I-U-U)], poly[r(A-C-U) · r(A-I-U)], and poly[r(A-U-C) · r(I-A-U)]. CD spectra have not previously been reported for the latter six of these polymers. The substitution of inosinate for guanylate led to recognizable CD differences, with all but two of the polymers having two resolved positive bands above 230 nm. Also, the I-containing RNAs differed from their G-containing counterparts in the almost complete absence of negative CD bands at long wavelengths and in the reduction of negative CD bands near 210 nm. First-neighbor comparisons showed that the CD spectra of the I-containing RNAs were consistent with the nearest-neighbor sequences of the polymers, as previously shown for G-containing RNAs (D. M. Gray, J.-J. Liu, R. L. Ratliff, and F. S. Allen, Biopolymers (1981) 20, 1337-1382). Moreover, two of the first-neighbor comparisons involved spectra of poly[r(A) · r(U)] and poly[r(I) · r(C)], polymers known to be in the A family of conformations in fibers (S. Arnott, D. W. L. Hukins, S. D. Dover, W. Fuller, and A. Hodgson, (1973) J. Mol. Biol. 81, 107-122). Thus, differences in the CD spectra of I- and G-containing RNAs could be simply explained as resulting from differences in the hypoxanthine and guanine chromophores, without invoking differences in conformation. Finally, melting temperatures of the I-containing RNAs were found to vary much less with base composition than do the melting temperatures of G-containing RNAs, since A · U base pairs are closer to I · C than to G · C base pairs in stability.

    Specificity in DNA interactions: An nmr investigation of the interaction of propidium with oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing normal and G · T base pairs (1986)

    Notes: The interaction of propidium with three self-complementary oligodeoxyribonucleotides has been investigated by 1H- (base-pair imino proton assigned by 1D NOE and saturation transfer methods) and 31P-nmr as a function of ratio of propidium to oligomer (from zero to saturation) and temperature. The three oligomers are dTATATGCGCATATA (1), dTATATGTGCATATA (2), which has the same sequence as 1 except for the mismatched base pair at position 7, and dTATGTGCATA (3), which is a shortened version of 2. The imino proton chemical-shift changes of 1 on titration with propidium can be explained by the effects of the ring-current anisotropy of propidium at intercalation (3.4 Å) and next-neighbor sites (6.8 Å). The results indicate that propidium binds with neighbor exclusion but with no significant specificity for any intercalation site in the sequence of 1. The addition of propidium to 1 results in general downfield shifts of all 31P signals, as expected for a nonspecific intercalator. Imino and 31P-nmr spectra for 2 indicate that this oligomer forms a hydrogen-bonded G · T base pair at position 7 with little change in base pairing and stacking of base pairs 1-6 compared to 1. The results for addition of propidium to 2 and 3 are quite different than with 1. At low ratio only secondary shifts (6.8 Å) are seen for the G and T imino protons of base-pair 7 on addition of propidium. At higher ratios of propidium, the signals for these G and T protons are lost in 2 and severely broadened in 3, even at low temperature. The other potential intercalation sites in 2 and 3 appear to bind propidium strongly and without significant specificity as with 1. 31P spectra of 2 in the presence of propidium show the expected downfield shifts and broadening. Thus, the minor differences in local helix geometry in 1, and in 2 and 3, away from the G · T base pair do not significantly affect propidium intercalation specificity. Having one or two G · T base pairs at a site, however, makes intercalation in the standard manner significantly less favorable.

A tentative assignment of the PE spectra is derived by empirical correlation with those of relevant reference compounds. The results suggest that 6(F) retains the D4h-conformation in the gas phase, i.e. A conformation with a planar cyclooctatetraene ring, as observed in the crystal. All four compounds exhibit a sharp increase of their first ionization energies, relative to the corresponding parent hydrocarbons, due to the perfluoro effect.

    Notes: The specific attachment of bathophenanthroline-ruthenium(II) complexes as non-radioactive label molecules to synthetically 5′-NH2-modified oligonucleotides is described. After excitation by light pulses, the fluorescence of these labels can be measured by a time-resolved mode woth high sensitivity. No quenching takes place due to coupling of the Ru complexes to the DNA. Ru-complex-labelled oligonucleotides still hybridize specifically to complementary DNA sequences, and no quenching is observed in the course of the hybridization process.

    Notes: Several alkoxy/aryloxy-substituted phosphazene polymers [P(OR)2 = N]n, where R = C6H5, CH2CF3, C8H10, were prepared by the reaction of polydichlorophosphazene with their corresponding sodium salts. The polydichlorophosphazene was obtained by the solution polymerization of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. Sulfamic acid and ammonium sulfamate were used as catalysts. Apparently, sulfamic acid functions as a catalyst through its acid group in some decomposed form. New catalysts, p-toluenesulfonic acid and sulfobenzoic aicd, have been developed for this solution polymerization. The polymerization favors a cationic mechanism. A promoter, CaSO4·2H2O, was found to speed up the polymerization reaction. Effect of several parameters such as dilution, catalyst concentration, and promoter concentration on the properties of the final polymer were investigated. The polymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography, and 31P solution NMR spectroscopy.
