    Notes: Empirical conformational energy calculations have been carried out for N-methyl derivatives of alanine and phenylalanine dipeptide models and N-methyl-substituted active analogs of three biologically active peptides, namely thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), enkephalin (ENK), and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). The isoenergetic contour maps and the local dipeptide minima obtained, when the peptide bond (ω) preceding the N-methylated residue is in the trans configuration show that (1) N-methylation constricts the conformational freedom of both the ith and (i + 1)th residues; (2), the lowest energy position for both residues occurs around φ = -135° ± 5° and ψ = 75° ± 5°, and (3) the αL conformational state is the second lowest energy state for the (i + 1)th residue, whereas for the ith residue the C5 (extended) conformation is second lowest in energy. When the peptide bond (ωi) is in the cis configuration the ith residue is energetically forbidden in the range φ = 0° to 180° and ψ = -180° to +180°. Conformations of low energy for ωi = 0° are found to be similar to those obtained for the trans peptide bond. In all the model systems (irrespective of cis or trans), the αR conformational state is energetically very high. Significant deviations from planarity are found for the peptide bond when the amide hydrogen is replaced by a methyl group. Two low-energy conformers are found for [(N-Me)His2]TRH. These conformers differ only in the φ and ψ values at the (N-Me)His2 residue. Among the different low-energy conformers found for each of the ENK analogs [D-Ala2,(N-Me)Phe4, Met5]ENK amide and [D-Ala2,(N-Me)Met5]ENK amide, one low-energy conformer was found to be common for both analogs with respect to the side-chain orientations. The stability of the low-energy structures is discussed in the light of the activity of other analogs. Two low-energy conformers were found for [(N-Me)Leu7]LHRH. These conformations differ in the types of bend around the positions 6 and 7 of LHRH. One bend type is eliminated when the active analog [D-Ala6,(M-Me)Leu7]LHRH is considered.

    Notes: Energy pathways between the αR, β′, C7eq, and β-regions of the conformational energy surface of N-acetyl-N′-methylalanyl amide were obtained by SCF ab initio calculations on the 4-21G level, with gradient geometry optimization at each point. The calculations indicate that no barrier exists at this computational level between αR and β′. The variation of geometry (bond distances and bond angles) with conformation is analyzed in detail, and the most important geometrical parameters that should be treated as variables in both empirical energy calculations and in the fitting of polypeptide chains in proteins by x-ray methods are identified. In addition to the φ,ψ correlation discussed previously for the helical state, a correlation of these dihedral angles in the β-region is described.

    Description / Table of Contents: IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen von Polyäthylen-Proben, dargestellt durch Reduktion von Polyvinylchlorid mit Lithiumaluminiumhydrid, ließen darauf schließen, daß Polyvinylchlorid Seitenketten enthält, die seine Morphologie und Festkörpereigenschaften wesentlich beeinflussen. Die Natur dieser Seitenketten war bisher unbekannt. Es wird anhand von 13C-NMR Spektren gezeigt, daß die Verzweigungen in reduziertem Polyvinylchlorid aus Methylgruppen bestehen, die vermutlich aus Chlormethylgruppen des ursprünglichen Polymeren entstanden sind. Die untersuchte Probe enthielt ca. 3 CH3-Gruppen pro 1000 CH2-Gruppen, jedoch is dieses Verhältnis vermutlich von der Polymerisationstemperatur abhängig. Zusätzlich wurden Anzeichen für längere Seitenketten gefunden, die allerdings nur in einem Ausmaß von weniger als 1 pro 1000 CH2-Gruppen vorhanden sein dürften.
    Notes: The presence of branches in poly(vinyl chloride) as indicated by previous IR measurements on the polymer reduced to polyethylene by means of lithium aluminum hydride is believed to affect materially the morphology and solid state properties of poly(vinyl chloride); however, up to the present, the nature of these branches has not been known. By use of 13C-NMR on reduced poly(vinyl chloride) it is demonstrated that the brances are methyl groups, presumably corresponding to chloromethyl groups in the original polymer. In the sample studied, the frequency is ca. 3 methyl groups per 1000 CH2 groups, but this is expected to depend on the temperature of polymerization. There is also some evidence for long branches, probably not exceeding 1 per 1000 CH2 groups.

    Notes: Described herein are proton nmr experiments on chemically modified derivatives of ribonuclease A designed to elucidate the origin of an exchangeable resonance, assigned previously to a histidine ring N proton that titrates between 11 to 13 ppm with a pKa of 6.1 in H2O solution. Histidines 48 and 105, which are distant from the active site, are eliminated as candidates for this resonance from inhibitor binding studies on the enzyme in acetate-water solutions. This exchangeable resonance titrates with modified pKa's and constant area over the above pH range in His-119-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A and des-(121-124)-RNase A, thus eliminating the imidazole N3 proton in the His 119-Asp 121 hydrogen bond. In His-12-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A, this resonance is also observable, but broadens on raising the pH above 7 and at elevated temperatures above neutrality. It exhibits a pH-independent chemical shift characteristic of the protonated state of histidine. On the basis of these findings, this exchangeable resonance, designated a, is assigned to the imidazole N1 proton of His 12, which is hydrogen-bonded to the carbonyl oxygen of Thr 45 in the crystal.

    Notes: The C2H resonance of the active site histidine residue designated AS-2, which has the lower pKa of the two active site histidines, has been correlated in both RNase A and RNase S by comparing the pH 3 to 5.5 regions of the chemical shift titration curves, the effect of the inhibitor CMP-3′ on the chemical shifts at pH 4.0, and the effect of Cu II on the line widths at pH 3.6. It has been demonstrated that resonance AS-2 is absent in the spectrum of RNase S′ reconstituted using S-peptide deuterated at the C2 of His 12, and in that of the RNase S′-CMP-3′ complex. We thus demonstrate that histidine AS-2 is in fact His 12 in both enzymes. This finding is in agreement with out previous assignment of the exchangeable NH proton in RNase A to His 12, but reverses the assignments of the active site histidine C2H resonances made earlier by other authors.

    Notes: Solutions are obtained that describe the time dependence of the reversible binding of a ligand to a two-site lattice. The binding may be cooperative. Three methods are used to obtain these solutions: the separation of on/off processes with a variable transformation, the asymptotic series analysis, and the singular perturbation procedure. Applications to parameter calculation from experimental data are presented. This kinetic system is such that it is difficult to extract all kinetic parameters from data analysis, and the implications for each method are also discussed.

    Notes: Regeneration of the rat kidney was observed for six days after inducing acute tubular necrosis of the proximal pars recta with d-serine (80 mg/100g body weight). Regenerating cells appear by two days post-treatment, and re-epithelialization of the nephron is completed within six days, with the most mature cells approaching normal morphology. Regeneration originates from viable cells adjacent to the necrotic zone which divide and follow a template provided by the intact basement membrane. Transient, cytoplasmic regenerative activity among developing tubular cells is characterized by the presence of large, irregularly shaped nuclei, prominent nucleoli, abundant ribosomes and lysosomes, and abnormal mitochondrial configurations. Microfilaments appear to be involved in the formation of apical microvilli and the basal labyrinth of plasmalemmal convolutions. These data suggest that d-serine. inducedacute tubular necrosis of the proximal pars recta may be followed by rapid, patterned regeneration along an intact basement membrane, and that microfilaments are involved in differentiation of cellular morphology.

    Notes: Ileum from rats 4, 9, 11, 12, and 15 days old can best be maintained for 24 hours in a system using Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution without fetal calf serum, at 25°C and 21% O2. Suckling rat duodenum and jejunum were difficult to maintain well for 24 hours in this system or a variety of other systems that were tried. A temperature of 37°C hastened deterioration of duodenum, jejunum or ileum. With ileum, 3H-thymidine and 14C-leucine were increasingly incorporated into DNA and protein over the 24-hour period. Light microscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, showed very good preservation of the ileum after 24 hours. The addition to the medium of hydrocortisone, 1 μm, and thyroxine, 0.01 μm, alone or in combination, did not change DNA or protein synthesis, or morphology, possibly because of the relatively short (24 hour) time period. Our organ culture system emphasizes the differences between suckling rat ileum and the rest of the intestine, and provides a new tool for evaluating, over a 24-hour period, the developing rat small intestine.

    Notes: The 251 MHz 1H and the natural-abundance 63.1 MHz 13C NMR spectra of N,N'-dimethylimidazolidine have been measured from -50 to -170°C. Below about -140°C. nitrogen inversion in the compound becomes slow on the NMR time scale and both the 1H and the 13C spectra indicate that it exists in solution as a mixture of cis and trans conformations having nearly the same energies. The free-energy barrier (ΔG≠) for nitrogen inversion in N,N'-dimethylimidazolidine is 6.4 kcal mol-1, a value which is 1.5 kcal mol-1 lower than that for N-methylpyrrolidine.

    Notes: The synthesis of optically active (1R,2R)- and (1S,2R)-2-deuterio-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-6-nitrobenzothiophene-1-oxide (3 and 4) is described. Several racemic aryl methyl carbinols in the presence of 3 or 4 give different chemical shifts for enantiomeric CH, CH3 and OH protons. These chemical shift differences are larger than those observed in analogous sulfoxide-alcohol pairs without nitro groups. Quinine and cinchonidine cause observable non-equivalence of methylene and aromatic protons in racemic 4. The magnitude of the diastereomeric shift difference is sensitive to temperature, solvent, concentration, nature of the π system and steric effects.
