    Notes: The structure of human interleukin 4 (IL-4) was predicted utilizing a series of experimental and theoretical techniques. Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy indicated that IL-4 belonged to the all α-helix class of protein structures. Secondary structure prediction, site-directed mutagenesis, and CD spectroscopy suggested a predominantly α-helical structure, consistent with a four-helix bundle structural motif. A human/mouse IL-4 chimera was constructed to qualitatively evaluate alternative secondary structure predictions. The four predicted helices were assembled into tertiary structures using established algorithms. The mapping of three disulfide bridges in IL-4 provided additional constraints on possible tertiary structures. Using accessible surface contact area as a criterion, the most suitable structures were right handed all antiparallel four-helix bundles with two overhand loop connections. Successful loop closure and incorporation of the three disulfide constraints were possible while maintaining the expected shape, solvent accessibility, and steric interactions between loops and helices. Lastly, energy minimization was used to regularize the chain.

    Notes: A Pirkle-concept chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from N-(1-naphthyl)leucine was evaluated for developing methods to reduce analysis times and investigating techniques in the rapid screening of a variety of chiral compounds over a given chiral selector. The effects of reduced column lengths and elevated temperatures were studied to shorten analysis times.

    Notes: Assignment of absolute configuration to a recently developed chiral selector useful in the separation of the underivatized enantiomers of naproxen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is described. Circular dichroism, 1H NMR, and X-ray diffraction have been used to confirm the original assignment which was based solely upon elution orders from HPLC chiral stationary phases. All of these techniques agree in the assignment of the (S,S) absolute configuration to the enantiomer of the chiral selector which associates preferentially with (S)-naproxen. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: An HETP equation for the capillary column is developed that takes into account the dependence of gaseous diffusion on pressure, the compressibility of the mobile phase, together with the unique relationship between mobile phase velocity, and the resistance to mass transfer in the stationary phase. The equation is used to develop a procedure for column optimization and expressions are derived that allow the optimum column radius and optimum column length to be calculated for a given fixed inlet pressure. It is shown that fast, simple separations are optimally achieved using relatively short small diameter columns. Conversely, optimum performance for the separation of complex mixtures requiring higher efficiencies requires the use of long columns with relatively large diameters.

    Notes: The effect of adding fortifiers to an epoxy matrix on the response to impact and compression-after-impact properties of carbon fabric/epoxy laminates was investigated. The experimental work included determining laminate compression strength, absorbed energy from impact, damage area and compression-after-impact strength for an impact energy level of 21 joules per centimeter of thickness. This paper presents the results from this investigation and discusses the relationship between neat resin properties (with and without fortifiers) and the laminate properties.

    Notes: Advent of the multichannel plate and position sensitive detector has made possible true single photon counting imaging tubes. We have investigated the application of these detectors in studies of the ultraweak light emission of biological materials. Initially, we focussed our efforts on two objectives: (1) obtaining single photon counting images of living tissues using only the light (chemiluminescence) emitted by the specimen and (2) developing means of obtaining well-resolved spectra of weakly emitting sources. We have obtained a variety of images. One striking result of this work is the first observation of tissue specific localization of photon emission in situ. Using this detector we have also obtained the first well-resolved spectra of some important ultraweak emission processes. These results illustrate the potential use of single photon imaging in bioluminescence and chemiluminescence research.

    Notes: Spectroscopic analysis of lithiated cyclic phospho-nates belonging to the 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 2-oxide class have been examined by NMR spectroscopy in THF and by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Lithio P-benzyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 2-oxide (Li+7-) and lithio P-isopropyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 2-oxide (Li+8-) are characterized by freely rotating, sp2-hybridized anions devoid of lithium-carbon contacts. The anions are most likely dimers linked through oxygen-lithium bridges. The P-isopropyl compound crystallized from TMEDA/THF as a C-lithiated dimer in which each lithium bridges a carbon and an oxygen and is solvated by one TMEDA molecule. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Osteolysis is a central feature of aseptic loosening of orthopaedic joint prostheses. This destructive process is believed to result from phagocytosis of implant wear debris by periprosthetic and synovial macrophages and the subsequent release of proinflammatory mediators, including collagenase. Isolated murine macrophages were cultured in vitro with particulate titanium in order to explore the mechanism of macrophage activation by particulate wear debris. The results, in which the amount of secreted, soluble collagenase in culture supernatants was inversely proportional to titanium concentration, suggested that titanium strongly adsorbed secreted collagenase. This inference was confirmed by direct binding assays in which particulate titanium coated with adsorbed collagenase bound an alkaline phosphatase conjugated anticollagenase antibody, but not a conjugated anti-IgG antibody. Adsorption of collagenase was not influenced by preincubation of titanium particles with albumin. The adsorbed collagenase remained enzymatically active as indicated by its ability to hydrolyze a synthetic peptide substrate. These results demonstrate that particulate titanium stimulates collagenase production by macrophages and then strongly adsorbs the secreted proinflammatory enzyme. The process of macrophage stimulation, collagenase secretion, and adsorption may represent an important mechanism for localization and concentration of collagenase in periprosthetic and synovial tissue, a mechanism that ultimately triggers bone resorption through osteoclast activation. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FTIR spectroscopy was utilized for surface studies of ammonia/plasma-modified poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer networks containing residual chloro-functional molecules. Ammonia/plasma modification of PDMS containing chloro-functional molecules causes the formation of surface amide groups, but due to the parallel formation of surface ammonium chloride, amide groups are not chemically bonded to the PDMS surface. The two primary sources of chlorine-containing species are residual traces of freon and cross-linking initiators present in the network. In the absence of chloro-functional molecules, ammonia/plasma surface modifications of PDMS leads to the formation of stable surface amide groups.
