    Notes: A conventional bore liquid chromatograph has been interfaced to quadrupole and magnetic sector mass spectrometers configured for fast atom bombardment ionization via a continuous flow FAB probe. It is shown that post-column addition of FAB matrix and in-line ultraviolet detection facilities do not significantly compromise chromatographic integrity and that high quality mass spectra are obtainable from such FAB LC/MS studies.

    Notes: The immunogenicity of a folded, all D-amino acid protein- rubredoxin, has been compared with that for the corresponding L-protein enantiomer. Following multiple administrations with alum adjuvant, the L-protein induced a strong, specific lgG antibody response, whereas the D-protein did not. This relative lack of responsiveness to the D-protein cannot be attributed to rapid excretion, since it is retained at least 4 times longer than the natural L-protein. These observations provide the first direct evidence that a folded D-amino acid protein has low immunogenicity and is long lived in vivo. Proteins with such properties may be useful as molecular platforms in a variety of chemical and pharmaco-logical applications. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: This article describes the implementation of a new docking approach. The method uses a Tabu search methodology to dock flexibly ligand molecules into rigid receptor structures. It uses an empirical objective function with a small number of physically based terms derived from fitting experimental binding affinities for crystallographic complexes. This means that docking energies produced by the searching algorithm provide direct estimates of the binding affinities of the ligands. The method has been tested on 50 ligand-receptor complexes for which the experimental binding affinity and binding geometry are known. All water molecules are removed from the structures and ligand molecules are minimized in vacuo before docking. The lowest energy geometry produced by the docking protocol is within 1.5 Å root-mean square of the experimental binding mode for 86% of the complexes. The lowest energies produced by the docking are in fair agreement with the known free energies of binding for the ligands. Proteins 33:367-382, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The collision-induced dissociation mass spectrum, observed with a hybrid tandem instrument, of the ammonia chemical ionization protonated molecular ion of chloramphenicol was used for the detection of residues of the drug in biological samples. The extracted oil from fish was subjected to a rapid clean-up on a pre-packed silica gel cartridge prior to non-chromatographic tandem mass spectral analysis. Fat extracted from milk was analysed directly by on-line combined high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with rapid elution of chloramphenicol. Identification was on the basis of agreement of the daughter ion spectra obtained from sample extracts with that of the chloramphenicol standard. Detection was unambiguous at 0.5 mg kg-1. The sensitivity advantage normally expected with multiple reaction monitoring was not achieved owing to the effect of neutral noise phenomena.

    Notes: The thermal decomposition of a series of four saturated and unsaturated C4 polyoxalates shows competing modes of depolymerization, fragmentation to polyenes and CO2, and crosslinking. These decompositions, which were studied by DSC and TGA, and intensively by EI- and CI-MS, could be rationalized in terms of the structure of the alcohol portions of the polyesters. The polymers were synthesized by ester interchange, which gave materials with DP values of 5-32.

    Notes: N,N-diallylaniline monomer was prepared in good yields, for use in preparation of homopolymer and for copolymerization with acrylamide. Functionalized N,N-diallylaniline monomer, as sodium N,N-diallylsulfanilate, was also prepared in good yields for copolymerization with acrylamide. Both monomers were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR. Poly (N,N-diallylaniline) was obtained by polymerization of a strongly acidic aqueous solution of N,N-diallylaniline initiated with hydrogen peroxide. Spectroscopic data from this homopolymer was used to facilitate spectral assignments of the new copolymers. Copolymers of acrylamide with N,N-diallylamine were prepared at monomer feed ratios of 10, 20, and 30 mol % amine and gave 3.5, 7.4, and 8.9 mol % incorporation, respectively. Similar diallyl monomer incorporation rates were obtained for the copolymerization of sodium N,N-diallylsulfanilate with acrylamide. With 10, 30, and 50 mol % of the sodium salt relative to acrylamide, 3.9, 8.4, and 19.2 mol % incorporation of the diallyl monomer was obtained.

    Notes: The effects of solvent on the accessibility and reactivity of an ester-bound fluorophore at a functionalized polyethylene-solvent interface have been studied. Fluorophore-labeled polyethylene surfaces were prepared by blending together a small amount of a pyrene esterterminated ethylene oligomer and a host linear low density polyethylene in solution. Films cast from such solutions were then studied by fluorescence spectroscopy to show that a significant number of the entrapped pyrene groups were at the polyethylene-solvent interface and capable of reaction with soluble reagents. Subsequently, transesterification of these ester-bound pyrenes using various sodium alkoxides in alcohol, alcohol-toluene, or alcohol-tetrahydrofuran solvent mixtures was studied by fluorescence and UV-visible spectroscopic analysis of the supernatant. The extent of alcoholysis of such esters was found to be significantly affected by the solvent chosen and by the structure of the alcohol. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A significant fraction of the amino acids in proteins are alpha helical in conformation. Alpha helices in globular proteins are short, with an average length of about twelve residues, so that residues at the ends of helices make up an important fraction of all helical residues. In the middle of a helix, H-bonds connect the NH and CO groups of each residue to partners four residues along the chain. At the ends of a helix, the H-bond potential of the main chain remains unfulfilled, and helix capping interactions involving bonds from polar side chains to the NH or CO of the backbone have been proposed and detected. In a study of synthetic helical peptides, we have found that the sequence Ser-Glu-Asp-Glu stabilizes the alpha helix in a series of helical peptides with consensus sequences. Following the report by Harper and Rose, which identifies SerXaaXaaGlu as a member of a class of common motifs at the N termini of alpha helices in proteins that they refer to as “capping boxes,” we have reexamined the side chain-main chain interactions in a varient sequence using 1H NMR, and find that the postulated reciprocal side chain-backbone bonding between the first Ser and last Glu side chains and their peptide NH partners can be resolved: Deletion of two residues N terminal to the Ser-Glu-Asp-Glu sequence in these peptides has no effect on the initiation of helical structure, as defined by two-dimensional (2D) NMR experiments on this variant. Thus the capping box sequence Ser-Glu-Asp-Glu inhibits N terminal fraying of the N terminus of alpha helix in these peptides, and shows the side chain-main chain interactions proposed by Harper and Rose. It thus acts as a helix initiating signal. Since normal a helix cannot propagate beyond the N terminus of this structure, the box acts as a termination signal in this direction as well. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out on the complex formed between the tetraheme cytochrome c3 and the iron protein rubredoxin from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris. These simulations were performed both with explicit solvent water molecules included, and without solvent molecules using a distance-dependent dielectric constant to approximate the screening effects of solvent. The results of both simulations are strikingly different, indicating that the representation of environmental effects is important in such simulations. For example, a striking adaptation of the two proteins seen in the nonsolvated simulation is not seen when explicit solvent water is included; in fact, the complex appears to become weaker in the solvated simulation. Nonetheless, the iron-iron distance decreases more significantly in the solvated simulation than in the nonsolvated simulation. It was found that in both cases molecular dynamics optimized the structures further than energy minimization alone.

    Notes: An analysis of the sequences of scyllatoxin and charybdotoxin suggested that it would be possible to design a core peptide sequence which would still fold to give the β-hairpin and helix seen in the toxins, but which would eliminate one disulfide and connecting residues. The core sequence was modeled, then synthesized and purified. The cysteines oxidize in air to give the same disulfide pairings as seen in the parent toxins as the major product. The three-dimensional structure of the core sequence peptide, termed Max, was determined using proton NMR spectroscopy and found to be identical in secondary structure to the toxins. However differences were found in the relative orientation of the β-hairpin and helix. The use of this structural motif, found in many insect toxins, as a disulfide framework for exploring sequence/structure/activity relationships is discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
