    Notes: Measurements of translational diffusion coefficients by quasielastic laser light scattering, sedimentation coefficients, and intrinsic viscosities at zero shear of proteoglycan subunit fraction A1-D1-D1 isolated from bovine nasal septa are reported. Molecular weights and hydrodynamic dimensions are compared with those expected on the basis of structural models previously proposed. Comparison of the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient in the presence of NaCl and GdnHCl leads to the conclusion that significant self-association behaviour of subunit occurs in the absence of GdnHCl. In the absence of added salt, anomalous nonlinear concentration dependence of Dt estimated from wide-angle light-scattering experiments is observed. In addition, Dt apparently becomes angle dependent. These results are interpreted in terms of the perturbation of normal translational diffusion of the monomer by strong repulsive intermolecular interactions due to the combined effects of long-range electrostatic forces and macromolecular congestion at higher concentrations. By carrying out experiments at small scattering angles, it is possible to determine Dt0 for proteoglycan subunit in the absence of supporting electrolyte. Titration of a dilute solution of subunit with hyaluronic acid results in a sigmoidal behaviour of the Stokes radius, indicating the formation of complexes of higher molecular weight results from the noncovalent association of proteoglycan subunits with hyaluronate. Observation of Dt appears to provide a useful method for studying the proteoglycan subunit-hyaluronate interactions.

    Notes: The oscillatory and steady shear rheological properties of concentrated solutions of proteoglycan subunit (PGS) and aggregate (PGA) from bovine articular cartilage have been studied using a Rheometrics fluids spectrometer. At comparable concentrations in the physiological range tan δ increases from 0.5 to 1.0 for PGA as the oscillation frequency (ω) increases from 10-1 to 102 rads / s, compared to a decrease from 40 to 5 for PGS. Thus PGA solutions exhibit predominantly elastic response whereas those of PGS exhibit primarily viscous behavior. PGA solutions show pronounced shear-thinning behavior at all shear rates (γ) in the range 10-2 〈 γ (s-1) 〈 10 2, whereas PGS solutions exhibit predominantly Newtonian flow. For PGA, the small-strain complex viscosity η* (ω) is substantially smaller than the steady-flow viscosity η (γ) at comparable values of ω and γ. These observations indicate that the presence of proteoglycan aggregates leads to formation of a transient or weak-gel network. Since aggregation leads to a large increase in molecular hydrodynamic volume and hence in the relaxation times for macromolecular rotation, it appears that role of aggregate formation is to shift the linear viscoelastic response from the terminal viscous flow into the plateau elastomeric regime of relaxational behavior. Normal or pathological changes that produce a decrease in aggregation will result in a loss of elastomeric behavior of the proteoglycan matrix.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of hydrogen isotope exchange rates for lysozyme in 5 molal aqueous glycerol and for poly (D,L-alanine) in a range of glycerol concentrations from 0 molal to 8 molal have been determined. The activation enthalpy of base-catalyzed exchange for poly (D,L-alanine) in water is 4 kcal/mol and passes through a minimum at about 2 molal glycerol before returning to a value of 4 kcal/mol at 4 molal glycerol. Exchange rates for lysozyme have been analyzed with transition state and Kramers's theories. The activation parameters for exchange of protons in lysozyme in the presence of 5 molal glycerol show a similar qualitative behavior to those determined for exchange in the absence of glycerol [R. B. Gregory et al. (1982) Biochemistry 24, 6523-6530]. The activation enthalpies and entropies for the fast-exchanging protons show a gentle increase as H(t), the number of hydrogens remaining unexchanged, decreases. By contrast, the activation parameters for the slowest exchanging protons [H(t) 〈 20] increase dramatically as H(t) decreases. As in water, the activation parameters for exchange of the fast- and slow-exchanging protons in glycerol solution are characterized by two distinct compensation temperatures (510 ± 100 K for the fast protons and 340 ± 40K for the slow protons). These values are not significantly different from those determined for exchange in water.The activation parameters, ΔH

    Notes: The intrinsic viscosity and sedimentation coefficient, of native and single-stranded T7 DNA have been determined at 25°C as a function of ionic strength in neutral and alkaline NaCl. The relationship between [η] and S020,w is well represented by the Mandelkern-Flory equation over the entire range of conditions between 0.0013 and 1M Na+. An apparent discrepancy between the two methods at moderate to high ionic strengths is probably due to a change in V with ionic strength. It appears that [η] is a more sensitive and reliable measure of molecular expansion for native DNA, S020,w but is a better index of conformational change in single strands, since [η] becomes too small to measure conveniently at high ionic strengths. At moderate to high ionic strengths, denaturation leads to a decrease in [η], although unfolded single strands retain considerable viscosity. At sufficiently low ionic strength, the intrinsic viscosity of the single strands becomes higher than that of native DNA, and the effective volume of a single strand approaches that of the native molecule.

    Notes: The addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) of MW 6000 to solutions of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobins results in an increase in the thermodynamic activity of these proteins. This in turn results, when PEG concentration is high enough, in phase separation into two phases; a protein-rich, PEG-poor phase and a PEG-rich, protein-poor phase. With increasing PEG concentration, the protein-rich amorphous phase becomes metastable and is converted into a well-defined crystalline or polymer phase. The logarithm of protein solubility is a linear function of PEG content up to a protein concentration of 150 g/L because the expression for the activity coefficient can, up to this concentration range, be approximated by a logarithmic function. Curvature appears at higher protein concentrations. Activities obtained by extrapolation from linear portions of the function, showing an unchanged, well-defined crystalline state, yield an activity coefficient for the saturated PEG-free protein solution in agreement with the appropriate values obtained from hard-sphere calculations of excluded volume [Ross, P. D. & Minton, A. P. (1977) J. Mol. Biol. 112, 437-452]. Solutions containing two hemoglobin species showed cocrystallization of the hemoglobins with a triple point where two crystal forms can be shown to coexist.

    Notes: Hydrogen exchange kinetics of proteins provide information about the dynamics of their structure. The interpretation of experiments has been limited by difficulty in identifying individual rate constants. In order to invert the kinetic data, and to gain information about the individual reacting sites, we introduce a Laplace inversion technique and obtain the distribution function of rate constants by which the intricate reaction proceeds. A series of carefully overlapped experiments were performed on lysozyme at 25°C, an exchange profile obtained, and a distribution function extracted. This function was composed of a product of two terms, indicating two parallel pathways. The first, a power-law term, was attributed to exchange from the native state. This part of the distribution function thus describes the scope of the conformational fluctuations in proteins at constant temperature and pressure. The second, an exponential, was seen to be associated with the pathway involving thermal unfolding and subsequent free exchange with the solvent. The influence of trichlorethanol and glycerol on the total distribution function was measured. Trichloroethanol selectively increased the contribution from the thermal unfolding pathway, whereas glycerol, besides decreasing this type of contribution, increased the width of the distribution function attributed to structural fluctuations.

    Description / Table of Contents: In polystyrene the major part of crosslinks is produced during irradiation in a “hot reaction”. 10% of the crosslinks are formed in a postreaction.A kinetic analysis of the experimental data showed the latter reaction to be first order. At larger storage times especially at higher temperatures the initial increase of crosslinks is followed by a decrease. This can only be explained if the crosslinks are formed during dissolution.We assume, that the posteffect is due to trapped cyclohexadienyl- and benzylradicals. The first order kinetics is ascribed to a transformation of cyclohexadienyl- to benzylradicals. By dissolution of the polymer after increasing storage time the reaction of cyclohexadienylradicals with benzylradicals, which leads predominantly to disproportionation, is replaced by recombination of two benzylradicals forming crosslinks. At higher temperatures and long storage times also benzylradicals must dissapear in the solid polymer by reactions not forming crosslinks.Additives like Anthracene and Naphthochinon suppress the posteffect.Based on the experimental results a reaction mechanism for the formation of crosslinks during irradiation and in the postreaction is proposed.
    Notes: Der Hauptteil der im Polystyrol radiolytisch erzeugten Kettenvernetzungen entsteht während der Bestrahlung im festen Polymeren. Es konnte jedoch gezeigt werden, daß nach Bestrahlungsende das Reaktionsgeschehen noch nicht absgeschlossen ist, sondern eine Postreaktion stattfindet, über die etwa 10% der Vernetzungen gebildet werden.Die kinetische Analyse unserer Ergebnisse ergab, daß es sich hierbei um die Aufeinanderfolge zweier Teilreaktionen handelt, deren erste, zu Vernetzungen führende, dem Reaktionsgesetz erster Ordnung gehorcht. Dabei muß angenommen werden, daß die Vernetzungen der Postreaktion erst bei der Quellung des bestrahlten Polymeren im Lösungsmittel entstehen.Das Reaktionsgeschehen wird so gedeutet, daß in der ersten Teilreaktion eine Umwandlung von Cyclohexadienylradikalen in Benzylradikale erfolgt, für die bei der Quellung die Möglichkeit der Vernetzungsbildung besteht. Im Falle höherer Lagerzeiten und beim übergang zu höherer Temperatur muß für diese Benzylradikale jedoch eine nicht zu Vernetzungen führende Konkurrenzreaktion existieren. Als solche wird Doppelbindungsbildung in Betracht gezogen.Durch die Additive Anthracen und Naphthochinon wird die Postreaktion bei der angewandten Dosis unterdrückt. Dies führen wir zurück auf das Quenchen von angeregten Zuständen bzw. das Abfangen von Radikalen, insbesondere von thermischen H-Atomen.Gestützt auf die experimentellen Ergebnisse wird ein Reaktionsmechanismus für die Ausbildung von Kettenvernetzungen während der Bestrahlung und im Posteffekt gegeben.
