    Notes: Abstract The Ising model on a Cayley tree displays a peculiar (continuous order) phase transition with zero long-range order at all finite temperatures. When one studies expection values of spins far removed from the surface (which contains a finite fraction of the total number of spins in the thermodynamic limit), however, one obtains the so-called Bethe approximation. Here we study such a local description by setting up a simple recurrence relation for successive shell magnetizations far removed from the surface. In the ferromagnetic case the local magnetization is a fixed point of the iterative transformation, while in the antiferromagnetic case the fixed point bifurcates to a two-cycle of the transformation (for low temperatures and fields) giving rise to local sublattice magnetizations. In both cases, local thermodynamical properties are obtained by integration.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we study rigorously the random Ising model on a Cayley tree in the limit of infinite coordination numberz → 8. An iterative scheme is developed relating mean magnetizations and mean square magnetizations of successive shells far removed from the surface of the lattice. In this way we obtain local properties of the model in the (thermodynamic) limit of an infinite number of shells. When the coupling constants are independent Gaussian random variables the SK expressions emerge as stable fixed points of our scheme and provide a valid local mean-field theory of spin glasses in which negative local entropy (at low temperatures) while perfectly possible mathematically may still perhaps be physically undesirable. Finally we examine the TAP equations and show that if the average over bond disorder and the limitz → 8 are actually performed, one recovers our iterative scheme and hence the SK equations also in the thermodynamic limit.

    Notes: Abstract An iterative scheme is developed for a renormalized effective nearest-neighbor couplingK r and effective field per siteK r for spins in therth shell of a Cayley tree with nearest neighborJ, and next nearest neighborJ′, interactions between Ising spins on the lattice. In addition to the expected paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases, we find an intermediate range ofJ'/J 〈 0 values whereX r, and Kr iterate to a continuous or quasicontinuous attractor in theX-K plane. In this range the local magnetization is mainly chaotic with oscillatory glasslike behavior. Embedded in the chaos, however, are regions of periodic and commensurate phases.

    Notes: Summary A peptide corresponding to residues 106–126 of the human prion protein (PrP) possesses the neurotoxic and amyloidogenic properties of the infectious form of the parental protein. This peptide is now identified as a ‘difficult sequence’ and synthesis using conventional manual Fmoc chemistry was unsuccessful with acylation terminating at a central core of hydrophobic amino acids. The use of tetramethylfluoroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as anti-aggregatory agents in the coupling steps improved the synthesis but still resulted in an incomplete peptide. The incorporation ofN-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl)protection at glycine residues 119 and 124 enabled synthesis of the full length peptide in low yield. Synthesis using Boc chemistry within situ neutralisation gave the full length peptide in high yield.

    Notes: Summary Modifications to secondary structure and fibril formation caused by multiple acetylHmb backbone amide protection of Alzheimer's disease Aβ(1–40) were investigated using circular dichroism spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Penta(acetylHmb) Aβ(1–40) was observed to have a reduced ability to form α-helix and β-sheet structures under the same solution conditions as the native peptide, with α-helical propensity being reduced more significantly than β-sheet propensity. Further, acetylHmb backbone protection was found to alter Aβ(1–40) interaction with SDS-micelles by preventing α-helix formation. Aβ fibril formation, a characteristic property of this peptide, was also not observed for penta(acetylHmb) Aβ(1–40).

    Notes: The 1,1,3-tris(diisopropylamino)diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with lithium aluminium hydride leading to the P-hydrogeno-C-phosphinophosphaalkenes 2, which on treatment with a catalytic amount of BF3·OEt2 afford the 1,3-bis(diisopropylamino)-1H-diphosphirene 3. The corresponding η1-coordinated 1H-diphosphirene 6 can be prepared by treatment of 2 or 3 with one equivalent of [W(CO)5(thf)]. Alternatively, the diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with an excess of [W(CO)5(thf)], affording the corresponding η1-coordinated diphosphirenium salt complex 4, which is converted into the P-hydrogenophosphaalkene complex 5 with lithium aluminium hydride. The dinuclear tungsten complexes 7 and 8 are obtained by treatment of the free 1H-diphosphirene 3 with two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)] or one equivalent of [W(CO)4(thf)2], respectively. Compound 6 reacts with two equivalents of hydrogen chloride, giving the 1-chloro-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirene 9, which can be subsequently converted into the 1-diisopropylamino-, 1-azido, or 1-phenyl-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirenes 6, 10 and 11 by nucleophilic substitution with diisopropylamine, azidotrimethylsilane or sodium tetraphenylborate, respectively. The [η2-(3-diisopropylaminodiphosphirenylium salt)·W(CO)5] complexes 12a-c can be prepared by reaction of 9 with silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, aluminium or gallium trichloride or, alternatively, by treatment of 6 with two equivalents of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Reaction of 12a with diisopropylamine, water, bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium chloride or tetrabutylammonium fluoride gives the corresponding 1H-diphosphirene complexes 6, 13, 9, or 14, respectively. Compound 12a also reacts with one or two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)], leading to the di- and tri-nuclear complexes 15and 16, respectively.

    Notes: Microencapsulation of recombinant “universal” cells with immunoprotective membranes is an alternate approach to somatic gene therapy. Therapeutic gene products secreted by these cells can be delivered to different patients without immunosuppression or genetic modification of the host's cells. The encapsulation of different mammalian cell types (epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and myoblasts) is compared among three alginate-based microcapsules: (1) calcium-linked alginate microcapsules with a solubilized core and a poly-L-lysine-alginate-laminated surface; (2) barium-linked alginate beads with a gelled core; and (3) a hybrid formulation of barium-linked alginate beads with a poly-L-lysine-alginate-laminated surface. The mechanical stability of the different microcapsule types, as measured with a cone-and-plate shearing apparatus, was superior in the two barium-linked alginate beads. All cell types maintained high viability (65-90%) in culture after encapsulation. The recombinant gene products secreted by these cells (human growth hormone MW = 22,000, human factor IX MW = 57,000, and murine β-glucuronidase MW = 300,000) were able to traverse the three microcapsule types at similar rates. Cell numbers within the microcapsules increased twofold to 〉 20-fold over 4 weeks, depending on the cell type. Epithelial and myoblast cell numbers were not affected by microcapsule formulation; however, fibroblasts proliferated the most in the calcium-linked alginate spheres. These results show that for culturing fibroblasts in a mechanically stable environment the classical calcium-linked microcapsules are adequate. However, where mechanical stability is a more critical requirement, the solid barium-linked gelled beads are more appropriate choices. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The time-dependent theory developed in Part I is specialized to treat tetrameric hemoglobin, and the results of the theory for dimeric-and tetrameric hemoglobin are compared with data on the kinetics of the reactions of hemoglobin with carbon monoxide and oxygen at various salt concentrations for the case of large concentration of ligand relative to that of hemoglobin. The fit of the theoretical results to the data suggests that hemoglobin at a 2 M salt concentration is predominantly dimeric and that the tetramer should be taken as the functional unit to explain the kinetics of the reactions of normal hemoglobin. A relationship is established between the time-dependent theory arid Adair's Intermediate Compound Hypothesis (I.C.H.) for hemoglobin, as brought to its present state by Gibson and Roughton. A generalization (G.I.C.H.) of the I.C.H. is presented and is shown to be equivalent to the time-dependent theory in the limit of infinite ligand concentration. The I.C.H. is shown to be an excellent approximation to the centralized theory (G.I.C.H.) in this limit.
