    Notes: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to examine concentrated bovine serum albumin solutions of up to 20% protein w/v. At higher protein concentrations, scattering data show distinct features that can be ascribed to strong intermolecular interactions. Differential scattering cross-sections are fitted to a theoretical model of interparticle potential consisting of a hard core plus an exponentially decaying “tail.” For moderate ionic strength (0.03M K Acetate, pH 5.9), the intermolecular interaction agrees with the double-layer repulsive part of the well-known DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, Overbeek) theory for interacting colloidal particles. We thus demonstrate that it is possible to determine size parameters and the surface charge of protein molecules in dense solutions. At high salt concentrations (≥0.2M NaCl) data can be fitted by the same potential model, although interpretation in terms of DLVO theory is not possible. Even in this case, however, “effective” molecular size and potential parameters can be determined.

    Notes: An experimental study was carried out to investigate the moldability of polymer blends which form two phases in the molten state and the effect of mixing on the morphology and mechanical porperties of molded specimens. Blends of polystyrene with polypropylene and blends of polystyrene with high-density polyethylene were used for this study. A plunger-type injection molding machine (Van Dorn) was employed for molding specimens. To improve the mixing performance of the plunger machine, a Static Mixer (Kenics Corp., Super Nozzle) was installed between the heating cylinder and the sprue. A number of different molding conditions (injection pressure, temperature, injection time, cooling time) were varied, and molded specimens were collected under each molding condition. The specimens were used for studying the degree of dispersion in the blends and for determining the mechanical properties. A differential thermal analysis (DTA) experiment was also carried out to determine the degree of dispersion of the blends in molded specimens. It was found that a linear correlation exists between the blend composition and thermal spectra area of the blends tested.

    Notes: The quantitative effects of substrate concentration, yeast concentration, and nutrient supplementation on ethanol content, fermentation time, and ethanol productivity were investigated in a Box-Wilson central composite design experiment, consisting of five levels of each variable, High substrate concentration, up to 30° Brix, resulted in higher ethanol content (i.e., up to 15.7% w/v or 19.6% v/v) but longer fermentation time and hence lower ethanol productivity. Increasing yeast concentration, on the other hand, resulted in shorter fermentation time and higher productivity. The highest ethanol productivity of about 21 g EiOH/L h was obtained at low substrate concentration (i.e., 12° Brix), low alcohol content (i.e., 6% by weight), high yeast concentration (i.e., 4.4%), and high supplementation of yeast extract (i.e., 2.8). Productivity of this magnitude is substantially higher that that of the traditional batch fermentation of fed-batch fermentation. It is comparable to the results of continuous fermentation but lower than those of vacuum fermentation but lower than those of vacuum fermentation. Optimal conditions for maximal ethanol productivity can be established by a multiple regression analysis technique and by plotting the contours of constant response to conform to the constraints of individual operations.

    Notes: Saccharomyces cerevisiae was grown under aerobic and substrate-limiting conditions for efficient biomass production. Under these conditions, where the sugar substrate was fed incrementally, the growth pattern of the yeast cells was found to be uniform, as indicated by a constant respiratory quotient during the entire growing period. The effect of carbon dioxide was investigated by replacing portions of the nitrogen in the air stream with carbon dioxide, while maintaining the oxygen content at the normal 20% level, so that identical oxygen transfer rate and atmospheric pressure were maintained for all experiments with different partial pressures of carbon dioxide. Inhibition of yeast growth was negligible below 20% CO2 in the aeration mixture. Slight inhibition was noted at the 40% CO2 level and significant inhibition was noted above the 50% CO2, level, corresponding to 1.6 × 10-2M of dissolved CO2 in the fermentor broth. High carbon dioxide content in the gas phase also inhibited the fermentation activity of baker's yeast.

    Notes: We report here the effects of growth conditions and myogenic differentiation on rat myoblast hexose transport activities. We have previously shown that in undifferentiated myoblasts the preferred substrates for the high (HAHT)- and low (LAHT)-affinity hexose transport systems are 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG), respectively. The present study shows that at cell density higher than 4.4 × 104 cells/cm2, the activities of both transport processes decrease with increasing cell densities of the undifferentiated myoblasts. Since the transport affinities are not altered, the observed decrease is compatible with the notion that the number of functional hexose transporters may be decreased in the plasma membrane. Myogenic differentiation is found to alter the 2-DG, but not the 3-OMG, transport affinity. The Km values of 2-DG uptake are elevated upon the onset of fusion and are directly proportional to the extent of fusion. This relationship between myogenesis and hexose transport is further explored by using cultures impaired in myogenesis. Treatment of cells with 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine abolishes not only myogenesis but also the myogenesis-induced change in 2-DG transport affinity. Similarly, alteration in 2-DG transport affinity cannot be observed in a myogenesis-defective mutant, D1. However, under myogenesis-permissive condition, the myogenesis of this mutant is also accompanied by changes in its 2-DG transport affinity. The myotube 2-DG transport system also differs from its myoblast counterpart in its response to sulfhydryl reagents and in its turnover rate. It may be surmised from the above observations that myogenesis results in the alteration of the turnover rate or in the modification of the 2-DG transport system. Although glucose starvation has no effect on myogenesis, it is found to alter the substrate specificity and transport capacity of HAHT. In conclusion, the present study shows that hexose transport in rat myoblasts is very sensitive to the growth conditions and the stages of differentiation of the cultures. This may explain why different hexose transport properties have been observed with myoblasts grown under different conditions.

    Notes: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to study the structure of protein/sodium dodecylsulfate complexes. Two water soluble proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA), were used. The protein concentration was kept constant at 1 wt %, and protein/detergent wt ratio varied between 1/1, 1/1.5, 1/2 and 1/3. Absolute intensities of SANS distributions were analyzed by a fractal model. Analyses of large Q portions of SANS distributions established that sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) molecules bound to a protein/SDS complex form micelle-like clusters. On the other hand, analyses of small Q portions of SANS distributions clearly showed that the arrangement of micelle-like clusters resembles a fractal packing of spheres. We showed that a protein/SDS complex can be characterized by four parameters extracted from the scattering experiment, namely, the average micelle size and its aggregation number, the fractal dimension characterizing the conformation of the micellar chains, the correlation length giving the extent of the unfolded polypeptide chains, and the numbers of micelle-like clusters in the complex.

    Notes: The extended Taylor dispersion method was used to determine the translational diffusion coefficients of a series of polystyrene standards in 1,4-dioxane at infinite dilution at temperatures from 323.2 to 378.2 K. The experimental data suggest that in the context of Kirkwood's theory the Monte Carlo chain represents real polystyrene molecules better than does the Guassian chain with physically reasonable values for the hydrodynamic interaction parameter h*. The feasibility and accuracy of the simultaneous determination of the diffusivities of several polystyrene standards from a single dispersion measurement were also analyzed using a binary mixture of polystyrenes with molecular weights of 2000 and 100,000 as an example.
