    Notes: We present a comparison of experiment and theory of ultrafast one-color pump–probe multiphoton ionization spectrocopy of K2. The wave packet propagation in the A 1Σu+ state and in the (2) 1Πg Rydberg state is monitored in detail by changing systematically the pump and probe wavelength from 779 nm to 837 nm. The measured total ionization rates as a function of the delay time between pump and probe are shown to depend sensitively on the pump and probe wavelengths used and exhibit drastic changes and a variety of fascinating structures as the direct observation of inward and outward wave packet detection and frequency doubling of the detected wave packet oscillation. The time dependent quantum mechanical wave packet calculations are in excellent agreement with the experimental results and allow a clear interpretation of different ionization pathways and mechanisms observed in the femtosecond ion signal. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We performed a time-dependent wave packet study to investigate the fragmentation and recombination of the I2–Ar Van der Waals complex following excitation above the B-state dissociation limit. Based on a recently published ab initio potential energy surface of the ground state [C. F. Kunz, I. Burghardt, and B. Hess, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 359 (1998)], we studied the possible kinematic origin of the "one-atom cage effect" by three-dimensional wave packet propagation within the rotational infinite order sudden approximation. We found that final vibrational distributions depend strongly on the ground and excited state equilibrium geometries. Taking uncertainties in the excited state potential into account, we confirm a possible kinematic origin of the one-atom cage effect from a collinear isomer of the I2–Ar complex, initially proposed by Valentini and Cross [J. J. Valentini and J. B. Cross, J. Chem. Phys. 77, 572 (1982)]. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We investigate "negative-ion-to-neutral-to-positive-ion" (NENEPO) pump-probe spectroscopy as proposed by Wöste and co-workers [Wolf et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4177 (1995)] where the dynamics of wave packets in a neutral molecule produced by photodetachment from the negative ion is probed by time-delayed photoionization and detection of positive molecular ions or photoelectrons. Approximations are introduced for an effective numerical treatment of the double-ionization process. The organometallic compound FeCO is used as an example. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Diagnostik vieler rheumatischer Systemerkrankungen wird heute durch den Nachweis von Autoantikörpern unterstützt und erleichtert. Für die Serodiagnostik der Rheumatoiden Arthritis (RA) stehen nur die doch wenig spezifischen Rheumafaktoren zur Verfügung. Mit dem Ziel, neue krankheitsspezifische Autoantikörper nachzuweisen, erfolgte eine besondere Proteinaufarbeitung aus Synovialisbiopsien und anderen Geweben. Western Blots der gewonnenen Proteine wurden eingesetzt, um Seren von RA-Patienten und solchen mit anderen rheumatischen Erkrankungen zu untersuchen. Die signifikanteste Immunreaktion von RA-Patienten richtete sich gegen ein 68k-Antigen, welches vermutlich ubiquitär exprimiert wird, da es nicht nur in Synovialis, sondern in allen weiteren untersuchten Humangeweben und HeLa-Zellen nachgewiesen werden konnte. Der isoelektrische Punkt liegt bei 5,1, das Protein ist O-glykosyliert und im endoplasmatischen Retikulum und/oder Cytoplasma lokalisiert. Antikörper gegen dieses 68k-Antigen waren bei 110 von 167 RA-Patienten nachzuweisen, was einer Sensitivität von 66% entspricht. Ihr Vorkommen war unabhängig vom Rheumafaktornachweis, da sie auch bei 7 von 12 seronegativen RA-Patienten zu finden waren, dagegen nur bei einem Patienten aus einer Kontrollgruppe von 98 Patienten mit anderen rheumatologischen Krankheitsbildern, bei einem von 22 HIV-Patienten und überhaupt nicht bei 55 Gesunden. Daraus resultiert eine RA-Spezifität für diesen Antikörper von 99%. Wegen der auffälligen Krankheitsspezifität der anti-68k-Antikörper liegt es nahe, nach korrespondierenden autoreaktiven T-Zellen zu suchen, um die Rolle dieser neuen Autoreaktivität in dem Pathomechanismus der RA zu analysieren.
    Notes: Summary Despite commonly applied clinical criteria, the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often remains difficult, thus delaying on suitable early treatment. In search for a test furthering the early and reliable diagnosis of RA, we have screened for novel disease specific autoantibodies. To this end proteins were isolated from synovial membranes and other tissues following a special protein purification protocol, and these were separated electrophoretically. Western blots were then used to screen sera of RA patients and of individuals suffering from other rheumatic diseases for antibodies to any of these proteins. The most prominent RA specific immunoreaction was with a 68k antigen, occurring in 110 of 167 RA patients (sensitivity is 66%). The antibody could also be identified in seronegative RA patients but not in healthy individuals (55 tested), in only 1 SLE patient of a group of 98 patients with other rheumatic diseases and in 1 out of 22 HIV patients, resulting in a specificity of 99%. Moreover, the anti-68k antibody could be correlated with a more severe course of RA. 13 out of 20 anti-68k positive RA patients (58%) had subcutaneous nodules, while only 2 out of 11 anti-68k negative (20%) did. The mean sedimentation rate of these antibody positive patients was 51mm/h and 26mm/h for the negative respectively. The 68k antigen was shown to be present in all human tissues investigated and is probably ubiquitously expressed. It is either located in the endoplasmatic reticulum or cytoplasm or both. Its isoelectric point is 5.1. It proved to be O-glycosylated and contains only one or a few sugar residues as the untreated and the deglycosylated antigen identical electrophoretical mobilities. The patient derived anti-68k antibodies were directed against the sugar residue: deglycosylation of the antigen completely abolished its immunoreactivity. N-acetylglucosamine competes with the antibody for binding the 68k antigen. The physicochemical data of the 68k antigen argue against identity with one of the autoantigens in this molecular mass range already known to be associated with RA or other autoimmune diseases. It is neither identical to the 62k human antigen (EBNA-1) nor to RA33 (A2hnRNP), the 50k Sa antigen or the Hsp70 class of heatshock proteins. It is argued that the particular method of protein purification applied in combination with separation via SDS-PAGE in the presence of urea, made it possible to detect a hitherto unidentified antigen. Considering the striking disease specificity of the anti-68k antibody, it is now worthwhile to look for corresponding autoreactive T cells in order to analyse its role in the pathogenesis of RA.

    Notes: Abstract  The anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli contains an iron-sulfur cluster which, in the reduced [4Fe-4S]+ form, serves to reduce S-adenosylmethionine and to generate a catalytically essential glycyl radical. The reaction of the reduced cluster with oxygen was studied by UV-visible, EPR, NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The [4Fe-4S]+ form is shown to be extremely sensitive to oxygen and converted to [4Fe-4S]2+, [3Fe-4S]+/0, and to the stable [2Fe-2S]2+ form. It is remarkable that the oxidized protein retains full activity. This is probably due to the fact that during reduction, required for activity, the iron atoms, from 2Fe and 3Fe clusters, readily reassemble to generate an active [4Fe-4S] center. This property is discussed as a possible protective mechanism of the enzyme during transient exposure to air. Futhermore, the [2Fe-2S] form of the protein can be converted into a [3Fe-4S] form during chromatography on dATP-Sepharose, explaining why previous preparations of the enzyme were shown to contain large amounts of such a 3Fe cluster. This is the first report of a 2Fe to 3Fe cluster conversion.

    Notes: UV and IR matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (UV- and IR-MALDI) have demonstrated their potential for the accurate and sensitive mass determination of oligonucleotides. Metastable molecule ion fragmentation was found to be the main limitation in both desorption schemes for the analysis of larger nucleic acid sequences. Fragment ions from additional prompt decays, observed only in IR-MALDI, offer structural data, which allow sequence information to be derived for low-picomole amounts of oligodeoxynucleotides with up to 21 bases from a single mass spectrum. Two examples demonstrating the feasibility of this new sequencing technique are given. A model is introduced and discussed, which proposes a reaction scheme for the observed fragment ion patterns of nucleic acids and differentiates prompt and metastable fragmentation mechanisms. The role of fragmentation in direct mass spectrometric sequencing schemes and as a limitation for the accessible mass range in nucleic acid MALDI mass spectrometry is discussed.
