    Notizen: Summary Antibodies against Ro and La, including recombinant La and recombinant 60 kD-Ro, were determined by counter immunoelectrophoresis and ELISA in over 300 central European systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The presence of both Ro and La antibodies was strongly associated with the MHC haplotype B8-C4AQ0-DR3-DQ2, the association being stronges for DR3. After exclusion of all B8-DR3 positive patients only DR3 positive patients still showed an increased incidence of Ro and La antibodies, suggesting DR3 as the primary association factor. High titers of La antibody, but not of 60 kD-Ro antibody, were also significantly associated with the presence of DR3. Other DR and DQ antigens or heterozygous DQ combinations were not significantly associated with Ro and La antibodies.

    Notizen: Summary Antibodies against recombinant 52 kD-Ro, recombinant 60 kD-Ro and recombinant La protein were determined by ELISA in over 300 central European patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A strong association with HLA-DR3 was found for antibodies against 52 kD-Ro and La, but not for recombinant 60 kD-Ro antibodies in the absence of antibodies against 52 kD-Ro or La. Ro/La negative SLE patients still showed an increased frequency of HLA-DR3 as compared to healthy controls. These results indicated that the preferential formation of Ro and La antibodies was not due to an unspecific stimulatory effect of HLA-DR3 but that the antibody response to certain defined proteins (52 kD-Ro and La) was influenced by MHC genes in SLE. Furthermore, the association of SLE with HLA-DR3 was independent of the effects of DR3 on the formation of 52 kD-Ro and La antibodies.

    Notizen: Abstract Agostic interactions of CH bonds with metal atoms are currently of great interest. UV irradiation of Mn2(CO)8 (PMe2Ph)2 in the presence of the HC≡COEt yielded the new compound Mn2(CO)6(PMe2Ph)2 [μ-C(OEt)=C(H)C=C(H)C=O(OEt)],1 that contains a strong agostic interaction of an olefinic CH bond to one of the managanese atoms, Mn...C=2.349(5), Mn...H=2.01(4). This interaction can be removed (reversibly) by CO addition (25°C/1000 psi) to1 to yield the new complex Mn2(CO)7(PMe2Ph)2[μ-C(OEt)=C(H)C=C(H)C=O(OEt)],2.

    Notizen: Abstract Four new compounds having nine cluster electrons and cores of the types Mo3OCl3, Mo3OBr3, and W3OCl3 are reported. Compound (1) prepared by reduction of [Bu4N][Mo3OCl6(OAc)3] in THF with metallic zinc, was shown by X-ray crystallography to be Mo3OCl4(OAc)3 (THF)2 (1). It forms crystals in space groupP21 with unit cell dimensionsa=9.472(2) Å,b=13.546(4) Å,c=9.652(2) Å, β=101.70(2)°,V=1201(1) Å3,Z=2. The [Mo3(μ3-O)(μ-Cl)3]4+ core is surrounded by three μ-O2CCH3 anions, one Cl−, and two THF and has Mo-Mo distances of 2.620(1) Å, 2.613(1) Å, and 2.530(1) Å, with the shortest bond between the two Mo atoms to which the THF molecules are coordinated. Compounds [Bu4N]2 [Mo3OBr6(O2CCH3)3] · Me2CO, (2) and [Mo3OBr3(O2CCH3)3(PMe3)3]3 · BF4, (3) are the first two nine-electron Mo3 species with a [Mo3(μ3-O) Br3]4+ core. Both were obtained by zinc reduction of [Mo3OBr6(O2CCH3)3]− in the presence of (NBu4) Br (2) or PMe3 and NaBF4 (3), and each was characterized crystallographically. Compound (2) crystallized in space group Cc with unit cell dimensionsa=25.037(5) Å,b=12.827(2) Å,c=21.484(4) Å, β=122.96(1)0,V=5790(3) Å3,Z=4. While the anion has no crystallographically required symmetry, its virtual symmetry is C3v . The Mo-Mo distances are 2.619(2) Å, 2.610(3) Å, 2.644(2) Å, with a mean value of 2.624[14] Å. Compound (3) crystallized in space groupP21/c with unit cell dimensionsa=10.846(2) Å,b=25.033(5) Å,c=12.641(5) Å, β=94.74(2)0,V=3420(2) Å3,Z=4. The cation occupies a general position but has virtual C3v symmetry, with Mo-Mo distances of 2.601(2) Å, 2.610(2) Å, 2.627(2) Å, with a mean value of 2.613[14] Å. Thus the anionic and cationic Mo3 clusters in (2) and (3), respectively, have average Mo-Mo distances that are equal within experimental error. Compound (4), [NEt4]2 [W3OCl6(O2CCH3)3] is the first 9-electron compound of this type containing tungsten. It was prepared by reduction of [Et4N][W3OCl6(OAc)3] in benzene with Na/Hg. It crystallized in space groupP212121 with unit cell dimensionsa=11.076(2) Å,b=14.345(2) Å,c=21.026(3) Å,V=3574(1) Å3,Z=4. The anion resides on a general position but has virtual C3v symmetry, with W-W distances of 2.577(1) Å, 2.612(1) Å, 2.584(1) Å and a mean value of 2.591[15] Å.

    Notizen: Abstract By the reaction of cluster [Mo3OS3](dtp)4(H2O) used as starting material with CuI using [3+1] mode, two novel heterometallic-heterobridging cubane-type tetranuclear cluster compounds [CuMo3OS3]·I·(μ-OAc)[S2P(OC2H5)2]3·L [(I)L=py, (II)L=DMF] [dtp=S2P(OC2H5)2; OAc=OOCCH3] containing [CuMo3OS3] core have been obtained. Compounds (I) and (II) have been characterized by IR, EPR, UV-VIS, electrochemistry and X-ray crystallography. By comparison of these two compounds with the analogous [CuMo3S4] series in the structure and molecular orbital calculation, the influence of mixed S/O bridging on the structure is discussed. It is demonstrated that the {Mo3S3} cluster ring in [Mo3OS3]4+ possesses a similar quasi-aromaticity to [Mo3S4]4+. Crystal data: for (I), space group= $$P\overline 1 $$ ,a=13.781(8)Å,b=14.523(6)Å,c=12.098(6)Å, α=98.37(4)°, β=109.41(5)°, γ=105.00(5)°,V=2133(2)Å3,Z=2,R=0.058; for (II), space group= $$P\overline 1 $$ ,a=13.215(4)Å,b=17.818(8)Å,c=9.873(4)Å, α=106.06(4)°, β=109.78(3)°, γ=82.00(3)°,V=2100(2)Å3,Z=2,R=0.045.

    Notizen: Summary L-tyrosine-3-hydroxylase (TH) is the first and rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of catecholamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline). Implication of dopamine (DA) in various psychopathological phenomena, such as schizophrenia, has considerably contributed to the intensity of investigation of basic biochemical regulation of TH by activation and induction. Here we consider a third, constitutional (genotypic) aspect of regulation and present evidence that differences in mesencephalic (TH/SN), striatal (TH/CS), and hypothalamic (TH/HT) TH activity between virtually isogeneic strains of mice can be explained by segregating genetic factors. Biometrical genetic analysis of progenitor strains and their crosses indicated significant additive gene effects for TH/SN, TH/CS, and TH/HT, whereas dominance effects were statistically non-significant. A monogenic model of inheritance for TH/SN and TH/CS could not be rejected, while more than one gene was indicated for TH/HT. Significant positive phenotypic correlations were found in genetically segregating populations among mesencephalic, striatal and hypothalamic TH activities. This would suggest that some common genetic factors (or linked genes) are involved in the genetic variation of all three traits. A genetic selection experiment to elucidate the cellular and biochemical mechanisms underlying these variations is in progress.

    Notizen: Summary In order to elucidate the genetic abnormalities underlying lipoprotein disorders associated with coronary heart disease susceptibility, researchers have looked for candidate genes. The studies have focused particularly on the lipoprotein transport genes. Relatively common as well as rare mutations have already been identified in several of these genes. In addition, further metabolic and genetic studies indicate that some of these loci harbor significant, but as yet undefined, genetic variation. In the next few years, it is not unreasonable to expect that all or most of the significant mutations at these loci will be catalogued. It is too early to know whether this will be sufficient to explain the genetic basis of altered lipoprotein levels or whether new loci will need to be investigated. Additional candidate gene loci might be those coding for genes involved in intracellular cholesterol metabolism, cholesterol absorption, or insulin resistance. New loci may also be revealed by the technique of reverse genetics. A more complete understanding of the genetics of atherosclerosis susceptibility will probably also entail the identification of variants at genetic loci that control both the reaction of the blood vessel wall to atherogenic lipoproteins and the thrombosis system. Investigation of the genetic basis of coronary heart disease susceptibility remains a worthwhile and lively field, with important clinical and public health ramifications.

    Notizen: Abstract The issue of sex differences in reading disability has been of recent interest in relation to sex ratios in families with reading disabled children and to possible sex biases in referred populations. Data from a study of 570 twins are used to develop alternative definitions of reading disability that vary in the manner to which sex effects are taken into account. These definitions include discrepancies between reading quotients and IQ, the use of the regression of reading onto IQ and chronological age/reading age differences. In each case the reading and spelling disability was defined either separately for the sexes or based upon the data for the sexes combined and with and without an IQ〉90 exclusion criterion. The consequences of using the alternative definitions for prevalence, sex ratio and heritability are examined. The results demonstrate that the characteristics of reading disabled children vary with the way disability is defined. The excess of males seems to be a robust finding. Definitions that take into account differences in mean score for males and females reduce but do not eradicate the sex ratio. From the genetic analysis, there is no support for the suggestion that the genetic effect on reading is greater for females than males. It is concluded that the use of regression based procedures for identifying reading disability is desirable but that at present there is insufficient evidence to justify the adoption of separate regression procedures for the two sexes.

    Notizen: Summary We describe a novel late-onset lysosomal lipid storage disease affecting a Tibetan terrier. The principal clinical manifestations include visual loss, progressive cerebellar ataxia and dementia. A necropsy of an affected 10-year-old dog demonstrated cerebellar atrophy. Histological analysis revealed extensive loss of retinal ganglion cells and cerebellar Purkinje cells, and mild to moderate loss of neurons in the cerebrum, basal ganglia and spinal cord. There were generalized neuronal hypertrophy and multifocal neuronal necrosis associated with the presence of enlarged macrophages. Neurons and perineuronal macrophages contained cytoplasmic granules that stained with PAS, luxol fast blue and several lectins. The granules were sudanophilic and autofluorescent. Electron microscopic analysis revealed lysosomes laden with lamellated membrane structures in neurons, pancreatic ductal and centroacinar cells and in cultured fibroblasts. These findings indicate lysosomal storage of both lipid and carbohydrate. Biochemical analysis of brain lipids and numerous lysosomal enzyme assays of leukocytes and cultured fibroblasts were unsuccessful in elucidating the underlying enzyme defect, although a generalized increase of brain gangliosides was noted.

    Notizen: Summary We have recently examined the exons encoding the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain and GLUT 4 in 30 subjects with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus using a molecular scanning approach. The variant sequences Val-Met985 and Lys-Glu1068 of the insulin receptor and Val-Ile383 of GLUT 4 were each separately found in three different diabetic subjects. In a study of a Welsh population, the GLUT 4383 variant was found in three of 160 diabetic and none of the 80 control subjects. In this study, the same group of Welsh Type 2 diabetic and control subjects was analysed using allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridisation, single nucleotide primer extension and allele-specific restriction digestion to ascertain the frequency of the two insulin receptor mutations. The Val-Met985 mutation was found in none of the 160 Welsh Caucasian Type 2 diabetic subjects and two of 80 control subjects. The Lys-Glu1068 mutation removes a Sty 1 site and digestion of amplified exon 18 with Sty 1 confirmed the presence of this mutation in the heterozygous state in the original subject. None of the Welsh diabetic or control subjects had the Glu1068 mutation. The discovery of a very common silent polymorphism at codon 130 of GLUT 4 allowed examination of the association of this locus with Type 2 diabetes using allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridisation in a subset of the Welsh subjects. The genotypic frequencies (homozygous wild-type and heterzygous polymorphic (poly) sequences) were not significantly different between diabetic and control subjects (Type 2 diabetic subjects: wild-type/wild-type 40%, wild-type/poly 46%, poly/poly 14%; Control subjects: wild-type/wild-type 37%0, wild-type/poly 45 %, poly/poly 18 %;p 〉 0.05). In conclusion, in a British Caucasian population the examined insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain mutations are uncommon. Also the GLUT 4 locus does not appear to be strongly associated with Type 2 diabetes.

    Notizen: Summary Based on the observations that the psychostimulant drug amphetamine in combination with physiotherapy can promote recovery of brain function after brain injury, we have studied the ability of the vigilance promoting drug Modafinil to counteract 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-(MPTP)-induced degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons of the black mouse. MPTP was given s.c. in a dose of 40 mg/kg and the mice were sacrificed 2 weeks later. The effects of acute and chronic treatment with Modafinil were studied on MPTP-induced DA neurotoxicity. The substantia nigra and neostriatum were taken to both biochemical and histochemical analysis of presynaptic parameters of the nigrostriatal DA neurons, the latter in combination with image analysis. In separate experiments in rats in vivo tests for DA uptake blocking activity were made using intrastriatal microdialysis to study superfusate levels of DA and its metabolites and the 4-α-dimethylmetatyramine (H77/77) model to test for a possible ability of Modafinil to protect against H77/77-induced depletion of forebrain DA stores. Chronic treatment with Modafinil in doses of 10 to 100 mg/kg counteracted the MPTP-induced disappearance of nigral TH IR nerve cell body profiles and neostriatal TH IR nerve terminal profiles as evaluated after 2 weeks with image analysis. Chronic treatment with Modafinil (10–100 mg/kg) also dose-dependently counteracted the MPTP-induced disappearance of striatal DA uptake binding sites as evaluated at the same time interval. Also in the dose range 10–100 mg/kg Modafinil counteracts the MPTP-induced depletion of DA stores both in the neostriatum and the substantia nigra. In the acute experiments Modafinil (30 mg/kg) protected against the MPTP-induced depletion of striatal DA, dihydrophenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) levels both when given 15 min before, at the same time and 3 h following the MPTP injection. In the substantia nigra, however, these protective actions of Modafinil were only observed when the drug was coadministered with MPTP. Experiments with microdialysis in intact rats failed to demonstrate any increases of superfusate DA levels in neostriatum with 30 mg/kg of Modafinil. Modafinil in high doses of 2 × 50 mg/kg, however, significantly counteracted the H77/77 induced DA depletion of striatal DA stores. Thus, morphological and biochemical evidence has been obtained that Modafinil in the dose range 10–100 mg/kg protects against MPTP-induced degeneration of the nigrostriatal DA neurons of the black mouse. The results also indicate that the protective action of Modafinil is not caused by monoamine oxidase inhibition or by DA uptake inhibition, although the latter action may contribute in the highest dose used (100 mg/kg). Instead, it is hypothesized that its protective action may be related to actions on GABAergic mechanisms as evidenced by reduced cortical GABA outflow in doses of 3–30 mg/kg (Tanganelli et al. 1991) and/or to other unknown mechanisms.

    Notizen: Abstract The toxic effects of bis (tributyltin) oxide (TBTO) on the rat liver were studied with an electron microscope and the accumulation sites of tin were determined with an X-ray microanalyzer. The activities of serum enzymes and the concentration of serum bilirubin were also analyzed. Male Wistar rats received an intramuscular injection of 0.5 ml/kg of TBTO. Marked swelling of the mitochondria appeared in the hepatocytes 4 h after injection of TBTO. Cytoplasmic vacuoles, which contained degenerated mitochondria, gradually increased in number in these hepatocytes. This in turn may have caused a decrease in the volume of hepatic cell cords and an enlargement of sinusoids in the entire hepatic lobule. However, fine structures of intrahepatic bile ducts were not altered. By X-ray microanalysis, tin peaks were preferentially obtained from swollen mitochondria of the hepatocytes. By polarographic analysis of the respiratory responses of mitochondria, it was demonstrated that rates of state 4 respiration and respiratory control ratio were significantly disturbed in TBTO-treated rats in comparison with those of controls. The activities of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) were significantly increased after TBTO treatment, but those of ALP (alkaline phosphatase), LAP (leucine aminopeptidase) and total bilirubin were not changed. These results indicated that parenterally administered TBTO accumulated in the liver cell mitochondria and disturbed oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial dysfunction might induce severe damage of the hepatocytes. Four days after injection of TBTO, hepatic structures and chemical indices were almost restored by the regeneration of hepatocytes.

    Notizen: Abstract We report on nine patients with craniofrontonasal dysplasia (CFND). Seven classical cases had facial features suggestive of frontonasal dysplasia and coronal craniosynostosis. Extracranial abnormalities such as brittle nails with prominent longitudinal grooves or syndactyly of fingers and toes were observed in individual patients. In two families the father of classical cases showed a milder pattern of abnormalities, consistent with the diagnosis. We present a 2- to 13-year follow-up on our patients. Hypotonia and laxity of joints are common and may necessitate supportive measures. Mild developmental delay was noted in three out of six classical cases studied in detail. Unlike almost all other X-linked disorders, clinical expression in CFND is generally much more severe in females than in males. In contrast to previous reports of this condition, one of our severely affected cases is a male.

    Notizen: Abstract Muscle phosphofructokinase (PFK) deficiency in man is responsible for at least two forms of myopathy; one is characterized by painful contractures of muscles and typically occurs in adults, whereas the other is often disabling and typically occurs in childhood, with psychomotor and growth retardation. In this investigation, a young myopathic patient with severe mental retardation and aplasia of the cerebellar vermis presented with muscular hypotrophy of the limbs, generalized hypotonia, convergent strabismus and marked pain during passive movement. Biopsy of quadriceps femoris muscle showed variation in the fiber size with sarcoplasmic areas positive for periodic acid-Schiff stain. Histochemical qualitative reaction for PFK showed no staining of muscle fibers; ultrastructural studies showed abnormal accumulation of glycogen granules in both intermyofibrillar and subsarcolemmal areas. While some enzyme activities in the muscular crude extract were significantly lower than in controls, direct assay of PFK revealed no activity, thus demonstrating that the child's myopathy was due to the lack of PFK activity.

    Notizen: Abstract A family with 13 members included 2 subjects with selective IgA deficiency (IgA-D) and 3 subjects with common-variable immune deficiency (CVID), diseases which usually occur sporadically. Reciprocal combinations of B and T cellsin vitro between one normal and two immune-deficient family members and normal subjects revealed that defective Ig synthesis was determined by the B cells, while the patient T cells functioned normally. Normal T helper and suppressor function was demonstrated even in one patient with CVID who developed a T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder associated with elevated IgM; this patient's B cells made only IgMin vitro. Immune deficiencies were inherited in this family in a pattern consistent with an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. All the immune-deficient patients in this family possessed at least one copy of an MHC haplotype previously shown to be abnormally frequent in IgA-D and CVID: HLA-DQB1*0201, HLA-DR3, C4B-Sf, C4A-deleted, G11-15, Bf-0.4, C2-a, HSP70-7.5, TNFα-5, HLA-B8, and HLA-A1. The patient who developed the lymphoproliferative disorder was homozygous for this haplotype. Four immunologically normal members, one of whom was 80 years old, also possessed this MHC haplotype, indicating that its presence is not sufficient for disease expression. A small segment of another MHC haplotype associated with Ig deficiency in the population also occurred in this family, but it was not associated with immune deficiency. The presence of neutral amino acids at position 57 of DQβ, previously correlated with IgA-D, was associated with disease in this family approximately to the same degree reported previously in unrelated patients. Thus the expression of immunodeficiency in individuals bearing a disease-associated MHC haplotype appears to require either additional genes or an environmental trigger.

    Notizen: Abstract Glucose transporter genes have been proposed as candidate genes for type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. We chose to study the adult skeletal muscle glucose transporter gene (GLUT 4) andGLUT 1 in consideration of previous conflicting results obtained by different authors. We studied 68 patients with type 2 diabetes, and 66 non-diabetic controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Women and men were considered separately, according to BMI (≤24.0 and 〉24.0 for women; ≤25.0 and 〉25.0 for men). Allele and genotype frequencies were not significantly different in controls and in type 2 diabetic patients. ForGLUT 1 allele 1 and genotype x1x1 were more frequent, although not significantly (P=0.064 at χ2,P=0.025 at Fisher exact test) in overweight/obese diabetic women than in overweight/obese non-diabetic women. These data do not support the hypothesis that these genes play a major role in genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus, but suggest a possible association, at least in women, of allele 1 ofGLUT 1 with obese type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Notizen: Abstract Studies of kidney cross-transplantation in the Milan hypertensive strain of rats (MHS) and in its control strain (MNS) have demonstrated that the kidney has a causal role in the development of hypertension in this animal model. The same result was obtained in two other strains of rats with genetic hypertension. Patients receiving a kidney from a donor with hypertensive parents require more antihypertensive therapy than recipients of a kidney from a donor with a normotensive family. When MHS rats and a subset of patients with primary hypertension were compared with their appropriate controls, similar changes in kidney function and Na−K−Cl cotransport were observed. Offspring of hypertensive parents exhibit altered kidney function compared with their controls. Na−K−Cl co-transport in MHS rats is genetically determined and genetically associated with hypertension. In MHS rats the increase in Na−K−Cl co-transport seems to be linked to a cytoskeletal protein, adducin. In conclusion, a consistent sequence of events from a protein abnormality to cell and renal dysfunction may be proposed as being responsible for hypertension.

    Notizen: Summary Accessions of Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. (D genome donor to hexaploid wheat) vary in salt tolerance and in the rate that Na+ accumulates in leaves. The aim of this study was to determine whether these differences in salt tolerance and leaf Na+ concentration would be expressed in hexaploid wheat. Synthetic hexaploids were produced from five T. tauschii accessions varying in salt tolerance and two salt-sensitive T. turgidum cultivars. The degree of salt tolerance of the hexaploids was evaluated as the grain yield per plant in 150 mol m-3 NaCl relative to grain yield in 1 mol m-3 NaCl (control). Sodium concentration in leaf 5 was measured after the leaf was fully expanded. The salt tolerance of the genotypes correlated negatively with the concentration of Na+ in leaf 5. The salt tolerance of the synthetic hexaploids was greater than the tetraploid parents primarily due to the maintenance of kernel weight under saline conditions. Synthetic hexaploids varied in salt tolerance with the source of their D genome which demonstrates that genes for salt tolerance from the diploid are expressed at the hexaploid level.

    Notizen: Summary The coprodaeum of the domestic hen maintained on a low-NaCl diet adapts by enhanced sodium transport. This study examines the adaptive response at the single cell and whole organ levels. Surface areas of apical (microvillous) and basolateral plasma membranes of columnar absorptive epithelial cells were estimated by use of ultrastructural stereology. The activities of succinic dehydrogenase (a mitochondrial enzyme) and ouabain-sensitive, potassium-dependent paranitrophenyl phosphatase (a sodium pump enzyme) were determined in tissue homogenates. Sodium, potassium-ATPase (pump enzyme) activity in cell membranes was localized by ultrastructural cytochemistry. Apical and basolateral membranes responded differently. In high-NaCl hens, the membrane signature of the average cell was 32 μm2 (apical), 932 μm2 (lateral) and 17 μm2 (basal). Cells from low-NaCl hens had more apical membrane (49 μm2 per cell) but essentially the same area of basolateral membrane. However, total surfaces per organ were greater for all membranes. Sodium pump enzymes were localized in basolateral membranes. Enzyme activities per unit mitochondrial volume and per unit basolateral membrane surface were higher in low-NaCl birds. These findings are discussed in the context of known mechanisms of transcellular sodium transport via apical ion channels and basolateral pumps.

    Notizen: Summary A combination of immunocytochemical and biochemical methods was used to study histamine in the turtle retina. Histamine-like immunoreactivity was localized within paraboloids of certain cone photoreceptors by use of two different antisera directed against histamine. Preincubation of eyecups in Ringer's containing 10 μM histamine selectively increased the immunoreactivity of these photoreceptor paraboloids. The present localization of histamine in paraboloids indicated that, although histamine is in photoreceptors of the turtle retina, it may play some metabolic or neuromodulatory role, and not function as a neurotransmitter.

    Notizen: Abstract The crystal and molecular structures of 1,1′-divinyl-2,2′-biimidazolyl (L) were determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis. It was established that the molecule of L has crystallographic symmetry 2 and a cisoid conformation with an angle of rotation of 128° between the imidazole rings. The length of the C2-C2′ bond is increased to 1.485(11) Å compared with the length of the analogous bond in unsubstituted 2,2′-biimidazolyl (1.423 Å). Localization of the N=C multiple bond is observed [1.297(9) Å]. The other N-C bonds of the ring are almost equalized (1.374 Å) and are close to the standard values for bonds of the C sp 2-N type in imidazoles. The angle between the plane of the heterocycle and the plane passing through the atoms of the vinyl group amounts to 7°.

An investigation of an acetyl derivative of methylenequinone, modeling a product of photo- and thermochromic transformations, proved that the color change of solutions of the Mannich bases is due to reversible dissociation into colored methylenequinones and morpholine. On the basis of data of x-ray diffraction analysis of one of the Mannich bases, characteristics of their molecular structure were determined, and reasons were stated for their effect on the dissociation mechanism.

    Notizen: Abstract Mixed alkali hexafluorotitanates of the composition LiMTiF6 are synthesized, which crystallize with the orthorhombic symmetry. The lattice parameters of these materials are determined. It is shown that substitution of the Li+ cation in Li2TiF6 by Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ leads to various degrees of distortion of the hexafluoroion. It is determined (19F NMR data) that the change in the dynamic state of the octahedral [TiF6]2− ions is related to their transition from the hindered-rotational to the isotropic state.

Some details of the structure of the dibenzo-N-phenylphosphonyl-14-crown-5-complex with calcium thiocyanate and water are discussed; a polyhedron with a coordination number of six was found for the first time for calcium complexes with macrocyclic ligands. The combined examination of the results of the biological, x-ray structural, and IR spectroscopic study of macrocyclic, 14-member ligands suggested that the nature of the substituents at phosphorus affect the conformational state of the macrocycle, which remains unchanged in complexation in the investigated conditions.

    Notizen: Abstract X-ray diffraction analysis has been used to determine the crystal structures of the 1:1-composition products of protonation by perchloric acid of isomeric triphenyl-N-(4-methylpyridyl-2)phosphinimine (1) and triphenyl-N-(3-methylpyridyl-2)phosphinimine (2). The structures were refined toR=0.048 andR=0.052, respectively, using 2274 (1) and 2647 (2) reflections. The protonation centers are located at the sites of N atoms of the pyridine ring (1) and the phosphinimino group (2). The distribution of the bond lengths in the cations suggests that a significant contribution is made by a phosphonic structure with positive charges localized on the P atoms. N-H...O hydrogen bonds, with lengths of 2.890(4) and 3.020(3) Å, connect cations and anions in both structures.

    Notizen: Abstract The electrochemical oxidation of ET [bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] in bromobenzene (electrolyte Bu 4 N[HgBr 3 ]) gave the radical-cation salt (ET) 8 [Hg 2 Br 6 ·PhBr] 2 (1), a new organic metal with a temperature range of 300–125 K. At 125 K a metal—dielectric transition is observed. Crystallographic data for (1):a=19.171(6),b=12.668(4),c=17.777(6) Å, α=118.03(3), β=89.45(2), γ=101.21(3)°, P $$\overline 1 $$ ,Z=1,d calc=2.30 g/cm 3 . The crystal structure of (1) is laminar. In the conducting organic layer the ET radical cations are linked into bands by shortened intermolecular S···S contacts of the “side-to-side” type. The anionic layer consists of centrosymmetric complexes [Hg 2 Br 6 ·C 6 H 5 Br] 2 4− . The Hg 1 and Hg 2 atoms are characterized by a trigonal configuration of the Hg-Br bond which is built up, on account of secondary Hg···Br interactions, into trigonal-bipyramidal for Hg 1 and trigonal-pyramidal (tetrahedral) for Hg 2 . Interaction between the anionic and cationic layers is effected through Br 6 ...S 8 contacts [3.491(7) Å)].

    Notizen: Abstract The composition and structure of the radical-ion salt (ET) 2 [Hg(SCN) 2 Cl], a new organic metal withT M-D=50 K, were established in an x-ray structure investigation. Principal crystallographic data:a=36.69(1),b=8.302(8),c=11.732(8) Å, β=90.02(6)°, space groupCc, Z=4,d calc=2.08 g/cm 3 ,R=0.067. The crystal structure of the salt consists of an alternation of organic (cationic) and inorganic (anionic) layers along the axisa. The anionic layer consists of the polymeric chains in which the [Hg(SCN) 2 Cl]− ions are linked together along the axisc through secondary Hg···N bonds with lengths of 2.75(3) and 2.98(8) Å. On account of these interactions the trigonal configuration of the bonds of the Hg atom is built up to trigonal-bipyramidal. In the organic layer with a structure of the κ type the ET cations form dimers with an interplanar distance of 3.53 Å. ET cations belonging to neighboring dimers are linked together through shortened intermolecular S...S contacts with lengths of 3.40–3.50(2) Å.

The mechanism of action, biochemical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and clinical results of phase-I trials are discussed. Serious adverse effects such as pancreatitis and peripheral neuropathy have occurred in these trials. An antiretroviral effect was observed in terms of an increase in CD4+ lymphocytes and a decrease in p24 antigen levels in HIV-infected individuals. Didanosine seems to be a promising drug against HIV infection, but knowledge about its clinical efficacy is scanty.

The morhological aspects, that vary within the M. canis isolates, were constant in the strains isolated from rabbits. A strain with particular features was isolated many times from the dogs and cats coming from the same breeder. In one case of pseudomycetoma, different isolates suggested the co-existence in animals of two different strains, one present on fur, the other responsible for deep lesions.

    Notizen: Abstract We seek to understand the relative contribution of allelic variations of a particular gene to the determination of an individual's risk of atherosclerosis or hypertension. Work in progress is focusing on the identification and characterization of mutations in candidate genes that are known to be involved in determining the phenotypic expression of intermediate biochemical and physiological traits that are in the pathway of causation between genetic variation and variation in risk of disease. The statistical strategy described in this paper is designed to aid geneticists and molecular biologists in their search to find the DNA sequences responsible for the genetic component of variation in these traits. With this information we will have a more complete understanding of the nature of the organization of the genetic variation responsible for quantitative variation in risk of disease. It will then be possible to fully evaluate the utility of measured genetic information in predicting the risk of common diseases having a complex multifactorial etiology, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension.

    Notizen: Abstract The title compounds crystallize such that bilayers of calixarenes are separated by hydrophilic layers. In each case the transition metal has, in addition to a primary sphere of ligands, a second-sphere coordination by a calixarene. [(H2O)5Ni(NC5H5)]2(Na)[calix[4]arene sulfonate]·3.5 H2O,1, crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP $$\bar 1$$ witha = 12.487(4),b = 14.281(2),c = 15.055(5) Å, α = 85.66(2), β = 80.07(2), γ = 80.48(2)°, andD c = 1.64 g cm−3 forZ = 2. Refinement based on 2441 observed reflections led to a finalR value of 0.066. There are two different environments for the nickel-containing cations: one is positioned within the hydrophilic layer with the pyridine ligand intercalated into the hydrophobic calixarene bilayer and the other is also positioned within the hydrophilic layer, but the pyridine ligand is inserted into the hydrophobic cavity of the calix[4]arene. [(H2O)4Cu(NC5HS)2](H3O)3[calix[4]arene sulfonate]·10 H2O,2, crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP $$\bar 1$$ witha = 15.438(4),b = 15.727(6),c = 12.121(9) Å, α = 112.74(4), β = 102.02(4), γ = 85.34(4)°, andD c = 1.57 g cm−3 forZ = 2. Refinement based on 3925 observed reflections led to a finalR value of 0.107. The structure is similar to that of 1 except that the one copper-containing cation spans the hydrophilic layer and is intercalated into the bilayer of calixarenes on one side and positioned into the calixarene cavity on the other.

    Notizen: Abstract The isomerization processes induced by UV photons in inclusion compounds of the host-guest type are examined, with special attention to the photophysics of the energy transfer process between the host and the guest, as well as to the influence of the host molecular cavity symmetry and the guest molecular symmetry. In particular, the experimental study has been carried out on the isomerization processes ofp-,m-, ando-xylene inside the molecular cavities of deoxycholic acid. The results have been compared with those obtained by irradiating the xylenes in an inert solution of hexane. The main difference is the elimination of by-products when the photochemical process is carried out in the solid state inclusion compound; however, the high purity of the isomerization product corresponds to a decrease in its yield with respect to the reaction in solution, due to the energy transfer process from the host to the guest moiety.

    Notizen: The three-dimensional structure of the quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase from Paracoccus denitrificans (PD-MADH) has been determined at 2.8 Å resolution by the molecular replacement method combined with map averaging procedures, using data collected from an area detector. The structure of methylamine dehydrogenase from Thio-bacillus versutus, which contains an “X-ray” sequence, was used as the starting search model. MADH consists of 2 heavy (H) and 2 light (L) subunits related by a molecular 2-fold axis. The H subunit is folded into seven four-stranded β-segments, forming a disk-shaped structure, arranged with pseudo-7-fold symmetry. A 31-residue elongated tail exists at the N-terminus of the H subunit in MADH from T. versutus but is partially digested in this crystal form of MADH from P. denitrificans, leaving the H subunit about 18 residues shorter. Each L subunit contains 127 residues arranged into 10 β-strands connected by turns. The active site of the enzyme is located in the L subunit and is accessible via a hydrophobic channel between the H and L subunits. The redox cofactor of MADH, tryptophan tryptophylquinone is highly unusual. It is formed from two co-valently linked tryptophan side chains at positions 57 and 107 of the L subunit, one of which contains an orthoquinone. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Abstract The potassium (K), sodium (NA), calcium (CA), and magnesium (MG) salts of p-aminosalicylic acid were obtained, and their thermal behavior was characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). Their crystal and molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction after powder patterns had shown them to be nonisomorphous. Different degrees of hydration were observed for the solid salts, and an assessment of hydrate stability to dehydration was made from thermogravimetric studies. The onset temperature of dehydration (T t) of each salt varied within the series and exhibited correlation with X-ray determined structure. The observed onset of dehydration of MG and CA was higher than that of NA and is consistent with stronger ion-dipole interactions for the divalent salts. Crystallographic determination of the bond lengths between the metal ion and the water oxygens were 2.4 and 2.9 Å for NA, between 2.0 and 2.1 Å for MG, and 2.4 Å for CA. The open nature and presence of a channel feature in the structure of the sodium salt may have facilitated escape of water molecules from the crystal. Particle presentation (e.g., size, crystallinity) was also shown to affect dehydration behavior.

The host macroring (1) has a mirror symmetry and exists in a so-called ‘dentists chair’ conformation. The cation (K−) is coordinated to all the six ether oxygen atoms and also weakly to the pyridine N atom. The SCN− anion group has a statistical type of disorder with opposite orientations of S and N such that nitrogen and sulphur are coordinated to K+. Packing of the host molecules is in columns to form quasi channels with K+, SCN−, and H2O being located inside the stacks.

    Notizen: Abstract The molecular structure of phenol-pendant cyclam-zinc(II) complex,4a, has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystals of4a · ClO4 · CH3OH (C16H27N4OZn · ClO4 · CH3OH) are monoclinic, space groupP21/nn, with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensionsa=31.198(2) Å,b=8.426(1) Å,c=8.214(1) Å, andβ=93.96(1)°. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined anisotropically toR=0.044,R w=0.062 for 1551 independent reflections. The complex assumes a five-coordinate, square pyramidal geometry, where zinc(II) is surrounded by the cyclam moiety in a planar fashion with the pendant phenolate anion occupying an axial position. An extremely short Zn-O(phenolate) bond distance of 1.983(5) Å, in conjunction with the 0.288 Å displacement of Zn(II) above the cyclam N4 plane toward the phenolate, accounts for the extremely low pK a value of 5.8 for the pendant phenol. These facts about4a, in comparison with the previous findings for the Ni(II) (4b) and Cu(II) complexes (4c) with the same ligand, illustrate well the characteristics of zinc(II) ion coordination properties.

    Notizen: Abstract The paramagnetic complex salt of diprotonated dioxocyclam (1,11-dihydro-5,7-dioxo-1,4,8,11tetra-azacyclotetradecane), Pt(II) tetrachloride and water has been synthesized in strongly acidic medium and identified by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of [(C10H22N4O2)2+(PtCl4)2−]·H2O are monoclinic, space groupP21 c,M r=585.23,a=9.516(1) Å,b=11.926(1) Å,c=16.622(2) Å,β=102.88(2)°,V=1839(1)Å3,Z=4,D x=2.114 g cm−3, λ(MoK α)=0.70930 Å,μ=83.1 cm−1,F(000)=1128,T=292 K,R=0.019 for 2808 observed reflections withI 〉 3δ(I). Alternating moieties of diprotonated dioxocyclam and a PtCl 2− 4 anion form columns running down the c axis. Water molecules are localized in the intercolumnar space and contribute to the extensive hydrogen bond network. The macrocycle conformation is characterized by two sequences of torsional angles, corresponding to two different subunits. The shorter sequence idealized as (-sc, ap, -ac, + ac, ap, +sc) [sc( ±60°), ac( ±120°), ap(180°)], describing the C pseudosymmetric part of the molecule, is centered on a -CH2 group between the two peptide O-C-N-H fragments. The opposite C pseudosymmetric subunit has a nearly (-sc, ac, -SC, ap)2 conformation. Pt is square planar coordinated by four Cl atoms, Pt-Clαve = 2.306(8) Å. The shortest Pt ... Pt distance is 7.200(1) Å.

Crystals are monoclinic, space groupCc,a = 22.821(3),b = 15.257(3),c = 16.365(2) Å,β = 97.44(1)°,V = 5650(1) Å3,Z = 4,D calc = 1.03 g cm−3. One triethylamine (Et3N) molecule has one of its ethyl groups pointing inside the cavity of a calixarene molecule; its nitrogen atom is directed exo to this calixarene molecule and is involved in a hydrogen bond with one of the hydroxy groups of a neighbouring calixarene molecule. This scheme leads to columns of alternating host and guest molecules. The other Et3N molecule is in the interhost space. This feature allows us to define the title compound as a complex/clathrate hybrid.

    Notizen: Abstract The crystal structure of the title compound (1 · C2H5OH) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and refined to anR-value of 0.074 for 2732 observed reflections [I 〉 2.0σ(I)]. Crystals are triclinic, space group P $$\bar 1$$ , witha = 13.6150(18),b = 13.7195(11),c = 16.5497(16) Å, α = 73.132(7),β = 66.165(9), γ = 65.580(8)° andZ = 2. Calix[4]arene (1) adopts a relatively open distorted cone conformation in the solid state, with two pendantsyn-proximal O-CH2-Py groups. The major conformation determining features in (1 · C2H5OH) are the presence of (a) an intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond between adjacent proximal phenolic oxygens, O...O 2.719(7) Å and (b) an intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond between a phenolic oxygen and a proximal pyridinyl nitrogen, O...N 2.810(8) Å. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the interplanar angles of 65.1(3) and 50.7(3)° between opposite aromatic rings facilitate the inclusion of an ethanol molecule within the calixarene cup.

    Notizen: (+)-2,9α-Dimethyl-5-(m-hydroxyphenyl)morphan is the only phenylmorphan analog whose affinity for opioid K-receptors is greater than its affinity for opioid κ-receptors. Pharmacologically, the compound is a pure opioid antagonist devoid of agonist activity in in vivo assays of antinociception. The absolute configuration of the compound has been determined to be (1R,5S,9R) from an X-ray crystallographic study of the chloride salt. Thus, the absolute configuration corresponds to that of the atypical opioid agonist (-)-phenylmorphan while the weak atypical agonist (-)-2,9α-dimethyl-5-(m-hydroxyphenyl)morphan corresponds to the potent morphine-like (+)-phenylmorphan. The preferred orientations of the phenyl ring for the two stereoisomers were determined using the molecular mechanics program MM2-87 and found to vary from that of the two parent compounds. The atypical properties of the two 9α-methyl analogs is consistent with an opioid ligand model which proposes that morphine-like properties require a particular range of phenyl orientations. There was good agreement between the structure obtained from X-ray crystallography and computed with the MM2-87 program. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Electron diffraction from single crystal lamellae and whiskers of poly(2,6-oxynaphthoate) reveals the presence of at least 3 unit cells. The equatorial reflections in the patterns from the whiskers correspond to the dominant (phase I) hk0 diffraction pattern from the lamellae; phase I is monoclinic with 2 chemical repeats per physical repeat. The intensity distributions in the hk0 patterns of phase I and II resemble those of the same phases in poly(p-oxybenzoate). The hk0 reflections of phase III suggest a common internapthalene unit spacing, but variable lateral (and possibly axial) shifts; apparently related orthorhombic and monoclinic patterns, with variable γ*, are observed. At elevated temperature, above the crystalliquid crystal transition (ca. 330°C), quadrant reflections are retained; the change in the hk0 pattern from any given crystal is gradual, extending over some 40°C. Above the liquid crystal-liquid crystal transition (ca. 460°C) the pattern can be interpreted in terms of nematic or possibly smectic A packing. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: We have previously argued from phylogenetic sequence data that the group I intron in the rRNA genes of Tetrahymena was acquired by different Tetrahymena species at different times during evolution. We have now approached the question of intron mobility experimentally by crossing intron+ and intron- strains looking for a strong polarity in the inheritance of the intron (intron homing). Based on the genetic analysis we find that the intron in T. pigmentosa is inherited as a neutral character and that intron+ and intron- alleles segregate in a Mendelian fashion with no sign of intron homing. In an analysis of vegetatively growing cells containing intron+ and intron- rDNA, initially in the same macronucleus, we similarly find no evidence of intron homing.During the course of this work, we observed to our surprise that progeny clones from some crosses contained three types of rDNA. One possible explanation is that T. pigmentosa has two rdn loci in contrast to the single locus found in T. thermophila. Some of the progeny clones from the genetic analysis were expanded for several hundred generations, and allelic assortment of the rDNA was demonstrated by subcloning analysis. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Dense-core granules represent an adaptation of specialized secretory cell to facilitate stimulus-regulated release of stored proteins. Such granules are a prominent feature of mammalian neuroendocrine and exocrine cells and are also well developed in the ciliates. In Tet-rahymena thermophila, the ability to generate mutants in dense-core granule biosynthesis and fusion presents a versatile system for dissecting steps in regulated exocytosis. We have previously shown that defective granules in such mutants could be characterized by several biochemical criteria, including buoyant density, which increases during maturation, and the degree of proteolytic processing of the content precursors. We have now used indirect immunofluorescence, taking advantage of a monoclonal antibody directed against a granule protein, to visualize the morphology and distribution of both granules and putative granule intermediates in mutant and wild-type cells. The results are consistent with the biochemical analysis and extend our characterization of the mutants, allowing us to distinguish four classes. In addition, the assay represents a powerful technique for diagnosis of new mutants. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The Tetrahymena nonreversal (TNR) mutants of Tetrahymena thermophila are behavioral mutants with nonexcitable membranes. When cells of the tnrB mutant were mated with wild type, a phenotypic change occurred about l h after pair formation. The pairs began to lose their heterotypic character in stimulation solution containing high potassium and, within 1 1/2h, they were not distinguishable from the wild-type homotypic pairs. On the contrary, although pairs of the tnrA and wild type also lost their heterotypic character about 1 1/2 h after pair formation, they never showed a full response as wild-type homotypic pairs. When tnrA was mated with tnrB more than 50% of pairs expressed a heterotypic pair character 2 h after pair formation, consistent with the tnrB defect having been rescued but not the tnrA defect. Thus, conjugation rescue of the mutant phenotype is locus dependent and probably reflects the nature of the gene products controlling voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The long-known teratogenic effects (dorsalisation) of lithium on amphibian embryos has recently raised renewed interest. As it is known that lithium blocks the polyphosphoinositide (PI) cycle, causing a depressed level of myo-inositol, and as injections of myo-inostiol have been shown to rescue the effects of Li+, it was postulated that Li+ causes a flattening of gradients of PI cycle activity underlying the developmental polarities. We have studied the effect of Li+ on the morphogenesis of the unicellular organism, Paramecium. We show (1) that exposure to 25 mM Li+ during division yields precise distorsions of the cortical pattern that can be explained by a uniformisation of surface growth i.e. partial suppression of the right/left and antero/posterior asymmetries and (2) that Li+ effects are rescued by injection of myo- inositol. These results suggest that spatially graded activity of the PI cycle (ensuring in turn a spatially graded distribution of secondary messengers directly involved in the morphogenetic processes) appeared early in evolution. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: During cytokinesis, furrowing creates new boundaries for daughter cells. Following a shift to a restrictive temperature, cells of the temperature-sensitive cell-division-arrest (cdaA1) mutant of Tetrahymena thermophila complete development of the oral apparatus for the prospective posterior daughter cell before becoming arrested in cytokinesis. When maintained under weak restrictive conditions (35°C), some of the chains were arrested prior to the start of fission line formation (D-shaped chains), whereas others manifested rudimentary unilateral furrowing on the ventral side (B-shaped chains). In their second cell cycle following the temperature shift, the D-shaped chains usually formed only one oral primordium, at a position highly correlated with the length of the entire chain. The B-shaped chains always produced two separate oral primordia, located at irregular positions anterior and posterior to the division furrow, often close to the posterior oral apparatus produced during the first cycle. These results suggest that the formation of the fission line sets a reference boundary to assess the number of oral primordia and influence their position, that appear during subsequent morphogenetic episodes. They also indicate that, during cell division cycles, pre-existing oral apparatuses do not strongly inhibit the formation of new oral apparatuses in their close vicinity. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Paramecium caudatum loses the ability to form food vacuoles at the crescent stage of the micronucleus from 5 to 6 hr after the initiation of conjugation and regains it immediately after the third division of the zygotic nucleus. To assess the micronuclear function in the development of the oral apparatus after coniugation, prezygotic micronuclei was removed from cells at various stages of conjugation, and their ability to form food vacuoles were examined. (1) When all of the prezygotic micronuclear derivatives were eliminated before the stage of formation of the zygotic nucleus, the exconjugant did not regain its ability. (2) When a zygotic nucleus or postzygotic nuclei were removed, in some cases the cell formed as many food vacuoles as did nonoperated cells after conjugation, while in other operated cells the number of food vacuoles was subnormal. (3) When a micronucleus from a cell at vegetative phase (G1) was transplanted into a cell of an amicronucleate mating pair at the stage between 8 and 9 hr after the initiation of conjugation, the implanted cell regained the ability to form food vacuoles. However, no cell regained the ability when the implantation was carried out within 1 hr after the separation of the mates. The results show that the micronucleus plays an indispensable role in the development of the oral apparatus at the stages of exchange of gametic nuclei and fertilization and that the micronucleus transplanted from asexual cells can fulfill this function. On the other hand, removal of the macronucleus from exconjugants showed that the maternal macronucleus also has an indispensable function in regaining the ability to form food Vacuoles. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: A morphogenetically active substance released by the predatory ciliate Lem-badion bullinum is recognized by ciliates of the genus Euplotes, which are potential prey organisms of Lembadion. The substance (L-factor) induces cells of the genus Euplotes to become less compact, which reduces their likelihood of becoming engulfed. Under the influence of this Lembadion- derived signal, E. octocarinatus develops extended wings and dorsal and ventral ridges and transforms within a few hours from its typical ovoid morph into an enlarged circular morph. This takes place without cell division. We have isolated the L-factor and report that it is a protein with a mass of 31,500 Da. The factor has been purified to chromatographic and electrophoretic homogeneity and was found to be active at concentrations as low as 10-12 mol/L. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: We have constructed a laser optical force trap (“laser tweezers”) by coupling an Nd:YAG laser to an optical microscope with a high numerical aperture objective. The laser beam (approximately 0.1 W power) is focused to a diffraction-limited spot at the specimen plane of the objective: the wavelength chosen (1,064 nm) is not strongly absorbed by most biological materials and is thus not ablative. Because the intensity of the laser beam increases towards the center of the focal spot, small particles brought near the spot will be attracted to the center and held there. Movement of the laser beam will tend to move any trapped particles with it. The laser tweezers can permit precise, nondestructive repositioning of small structures inside a living cell, without recourse to micromanipulators. Initial work has involved the use of laser tweezers on cells of Paramecium tet-raurelia held by a rotocompressor. We have been able to trap and reposition small organelles, especially the highly refractile structures known as crystals. Using a trapped crystal as a “tool”, we have been able to push micronuclei and other structures for many micrometers to virtually any desired location in a cell. In spite of extended exposure of specific structures and of individual cells to the laser beam, no damage has been detectible. Exposed cells, which were removed from the rotocompres-sor and cultured, showed complete viabilty. The laser tweezers technique shows tremendous potential for applications to the study of many fundamental cellular and developmental phenomena in paramecia and other ciliates. For example, we intend to use this technique to investigate temporal and spatial characteristics of nuclear determining regions during sexual reorganization in Paramecium. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Antisense RNAs have been used for gene interference experiments in many cell types and organisms. However, relatively few experiments have been conducted with antisense genes integrated into the germ line. In Drosophila reduced ribosomal protein (r-protein) gene function has been hypothesized to result in a Minute phenotype. In this report we examine the effects of antisense r-protein 49 expression, a gene known to correspond to a Minute mutation An antisense rp49 gene driven by a strong and inducible promoter was transformed into the Drosophila germ line. Induction of this gene led to the development of flies with weak Minute phenotypes and to the transient arrest of oogenesis. Parameters that may affect the success of antisense gene inactivation are discussed. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Endosperm development in maize seed involves the multiplication, enlargement, and differentiation of cells with consequent accumulation of storage products. The storage protein genes, encoding zeins, and glutelins (multigene families) are expressed and developmentally regulated by different loci. Wild-type lines and genotypes carrying mutations at loci affecting zein synthesis (o2, o7, fl2, and prol) were characterized at the molecular level and investigated by Northern analysis in order to define the expression of structural and regulatory genes. In situ hybridization in both wild-type and mutant lines was performed to visualize the spatial distribution of transcripts representing each gene family, during endosperm development. The zein and glutelin mRNAs are expressed in all endosperm cells, except for the aleurone layer. However, each mRNA type accumulates at a different level in the various endosperm regions, thus allowing to recognize specific territories of expression for each storage protein mRNA within the tissue. The spatial expression patterns appear early for each gene type and are maintained during the course of endosperm development. Also, the quantitative distribution of the same transcripts in endosperm of mutant lines is specific for each mutant and different from that of the wild-type. Furthermore, the amount of the O2 transcript, present in the nucleus and cytoplasm of wild-type cells, varies substantially in the different o2 mutations considered, in one mutant almost exclusively confined within the nucleus. These data suggest a specific control of the spatial expression of storage protein genes and a heterogeneous molecular composition of protein bodies throughout the endosperm tissue. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: During both spontaneous and thyroid hormone (TH)-induced metamorphosis, the Rana catesbeiana tadpole undergoes postembryonic developmental changes in its liver which are necessary for its transition from an ammonotelic larva to a ureotelic adult. Although this transition ultimately results from marked increases in the activities and/or de novo synthesis of the urea cycle enzymes, the precise molecular means by which TH exerts this tissue-specific response are presently unknown. Recent reports, using RNA from whole Xenopus laevis tadpole homogenates and indirect means of measuring TH receptor (TR) mRNAs, suggest a correlation between the up-regulation of TRβ-mRNAs and the general morphological changes occurring during amphibian metamorphosis. To assess whether or not this same relationship exists in a TH-responsive tissue, such as liver, we isolated and characterized a cDNA clone containing the complete nucleotide sequence for a R. catesbeiana urea cycle enzyme, ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), as well as a genomic clone containing a portion of the hormone-binding domain of a R. catesbeiana TRβ gene. Through use of these homologous sequences and a heterologous cDNA fragment encoding rat carbamyl phosphate synthetase (CPS), we directly determined the relative levels of the TRβ, OTC, and CPS mRNAs in liver from spontaneous and TH-induced tadpoles. Our results establish that TH affects an up-regulation of mRNAs for its own receptor prior to up-regulating CPS and OTC mRNAs. Moreover, results with cultured tadpole liver demonstrate that TH, in the absence of any other hormonal influence, can affect an up-regulation of both the TRβ and OTC mRNAs. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: An rRNA phylogeny of 22 species of ciliates belonging to seven of Small and Lynn's eight classes has been obtained by distance and parsimony methods. It displays good congruence with classical systematics at low taxonomic levels and several major surprises at higher levels: (1) The species analyzed group into five major branches, four of which emerge almost simultaneously: hypotrichs, oligohymenophorans, lito-stomes, and nassophoreans corresponding to four of Small and Lynn's classes. The simultaneous emergence of these groups contradicts the long accepted view that litostomes (a group with “simple”, symmetrical, apical oral apparatus) are “primitive,” while hypotrichs are “highly evolved.” (2) Heterotrichs group with a karyorelictid, together forming the first emerging branch. While this supports the view that karyorelictids may be early-emerging ciliates, it completely explodes the traditional “spirotrichs” taxon, which united heterotrichs and hypotrichs. Instead, this reinforces the concept of Postciliodesmatophora and suggests that asymmetric oral apparatuses (i.e., with distinct paroral and adoral ciliatures) may be primitive in ciliates. The global topology of the tree therefore does not fit with the classical views of ciliate evolution, from “simple” oral apparatus and stomatogenesis to “complex” ones. Instead, a rather striking agreement with the strategy adopted to construct the cortical framework was disclosed. We noted that the cytoskeletal elements used to strengthen the cell surface could be subdivided into four main types: epiplasm, filaments, continuous microtu-bules, or basal body derived fibers. These four types fitted quite well with the major evolutionary lines disclosed by the molecular phylogeny. We therefore discuss unorthodox hypotheses assuming an early explosive radiation of ciliates into a small number of major lineages differing essentially in the solution adopted to subtend the cell surface and anchor the infraciliature. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The Broad-Complex (BR-C) appears to encode factors that mediate ecdysone effects during the larva-adult transition. The main goal of this study was to gain insight into what roles the BR-C might play during oogenesis. The main findings are as follows. First, as determined by heteroallele studies and clonal analysis, de12 is a somatic line mutation that appears to fall into the broad domain of the BR-C. Second, the de12 mutation is associated with the insertion of the gypsy transposon at position 169.5 (Chao and Guild, Embo J, 1986, 5:143-150) in the BR-C domain. In its new context this gypsy element exhibits ovarianspecific activation. Both this gypsy activation and the de12 phenotype are partially suppressible by su(f) and su(Hw). Third, we have identified a set of transcripts that cross-hybridize with BR-C sequence spanning the gypsy insertion site (166-179). There are significant differences in these cross-hybridizing species, both in size and relative abundance, between de12 and its parent strain. Finally we have determined that in de12 there is a premature arrest of chorion gene amplification in the late stages of oogenesis. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Arginine kinase displays a distinctive rise and fall in specific activity and specific protein levels during the prepupal stage of Drosophila development with maximal activity occurring at morphological stage P3. This developmentally regulated peak is under the influence of ecdysone. Altered doses of the major ecdysone-inducible “early” genes at cytological regions 75B and 2B5 alter this pattern of expression while altered doses of another major “early” gene at 74EF have no effect. We hypothesize that a product of the 2B5 locus and a product of the 75B locus interact to effect this developmental pattern of expression of Drosophila arginine kinase. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: This review summarizes information on accumulation profiles of individual gene transcripts in preimplantation development. Most of the information is from the mouse, but some data from other species are reviewed as well. The principal finding is that the transcription of most genes is not temporally linked with any of the three morphogenetic transitions (compaction, cavitation, and blastocoel expansion) that characterize this period. Most genes that are expressed during pre-implantation development of the mouse are already being transcribed in the 4-cell stage, and some clearly begin as early as the 2-cell stage. Once activated, a gene continues to be transcribed at least into the blastocyst stage, resulting in continuous mRNA accumulation. Thus the pattern of gene transcription established at the time of genomic activation in the 2-cell stage is perpetuated into the blastocyst, with a few additions along the way. This information is interpreted in light of previous findings concerning the sensitivity of morphogenetic transitions to inhibition of gene expression. The lack of a clear relationship between the timing of expression of most genes and the schedule of morphogenesis leads one to conclude that temporal regulation is imposed downstream of transcription and translation. This conclusion is substantiated by a consideration of factors controlling the events of compaction. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Drosophila imaginal discs are induced by the steroid hormone 20-hydroxy-ecdysone to initiate morphogenesis leading to formation of the adult appendages and thoracic epidermis at the end of the third larval instar. Ecdysone-dependent transcriptional activation of a set of genes that encode imaginal disc transcripts found on membrane-bound polysomes precedes and may be responsible for some aspects of the cellular changes that mediate epithelial morpho-genesis in this system. A 1.35 kb transcript from one of these genes, IMP-L1, is first observed in vivo at or just prior to pupariation, as ecdysone titers are peaking and beginning to decline. Expression is initiated in proximal areas of the antennal disc, later spreading to a more widespread but nonuniform distribution throughout other thoracic imaginal discs. IMP-L1 is not, however, expressed in other ecdysone target tissues such as salivary glands or fat body. The IMP-L1 gene encodes a novel protein product containing a signal peptide, a possible transmembrane domain, two highly charged domains and a proline rich C-terminal domain. We suggest that the delayed timing of expression of this secondary response gene is necessary for proper ordering of cellular events associated with disc morphogenesis. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Ciliates possess nuclear dimorphism, i.e., they carry two structurally and functionally differentiated types of nuclei. The micronucleus and macronucleus serve as the germline and somatic nuclei, respectively, of the cell. The macronucleus differentiates from a mitotic sister of the micronucleus once per life cycle. Macronuclear differentiation is accompanied by a developmentally programmed set of DNA rearrangements, including chromosome fragmentation, telomere addition, and amplification. Given the diploidy of the MAC anlage, are both homologous copies of a chromosome processed and amplified equally and simultaneously in an individual differentiating MAC? We have approached this question for the case of the rDNA, exploiting previously identified DNA polymorphisms and the sensitivity of PCR. We determined allelic ratios in individual caryonide cells, i.e., the cells carrying the primary products of MAC differentiation, prior to the first division of the newly differentiated MAC. We observed stochastic variability in allelic ratios among caryonides that start with genetically identical heterozygous MACs. Either rDNA type can be in the majority. Appropriate controls make it unlikely that the ratios observed were significantly affected by variation in the assay itself. The variability may well result from the statistical variation associated with the relative timing of individual biochemical events initiating the processing and/or amplification of a few rDNA precursor molecules, presumably 4-8 at the most, in a MAC anlage. In addition to this stochastic variability, we observed a small but distinct bias in favor of the C3 rDNA. Thus the replication advantage of C3 relative to B rDNA in heterozygous MACs, previously detected during vegetative multiplication, may begin to be expressed during developmental amplification. We discuss the relevance of this stochastic developmental variability to classical genetic observations of Nanney and their collaborators on other T. thermophila loci. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: An extensive conformational analysis of 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine (AZT) was performed at the semiempirical AM1 level with full relaxation of all geometric parameters and careful consideration of furan puckering and the rotational states of the thymine - furan, furan - azide, furan - methylene, and methylene - hydroxyl bonds. The search located 70 conformers, 21 of which have relative energies within 2.5 kcal/mol of the global minimum. Several geometric features, including various forms of hydrogen bonding, within this selected lowenergy subset were examined in terms of their relative contributions to the conformational states of AZT. Hydrogen bonding of thymine's position 2 carbonyl oxygen atom to the hydroxymethyl group (O2—;HO), which until recently has not been mentioned in the literature, is observed in a few low-energy AM1 conformations; however, this form is less favored at the AM1 level than the usually depicted modes involving the thymine moiety with the oxygen atoms of the hydroxyl and furan groups (H6—;OH and H6—Ofur, as observed in the two crystallographically independent structures), as well as that involving the hydroxyl hydrogen and furan oxygen atoms (OH—Ofur, which also has not been mentioned for AZT in the literature until recently). The AM1-optimized geometries agree more closely with nuclear magnetic resonance data than with crystallographic structures and bear little resemblance to molecular mechanics results. The present study shows no evidence of a single dominant conformation or single structural parameter that determines AZT's conformational states. In contrast to our previous analogous study of cGMP, this computational study of AZT does not show strong evidence of a syn conformation with hydrogen bonding involving the base.

    Notizen: The potential energy surfaces of four cyclic alkanes have been examined using molecular mechanics, semiempirical, and ab initio methods to determine if they produce mutually consistent results and investigate the source of any errors between the methods. The C5 — C8 cyclic alkanes were chosen since these structures present a finite set of conformations and transition-state geometries and are still within the computational time and memory limits of the quantum mechanical approaches. We also examined several conformations of 1,2-dideoxyribose to determine the effect of heteroatoms on the results for the 5-membered ring. The molecular mechanics and ab initio calculations are consistent in the relative energies and geometries determined for the conformers of all ring systems. While the semiempirical calculations yielded geometries consistent with the other methods (except for 5-membered rings), the relative energies often deviated substantially. A decomposition analysis of the semiempirical and molecular mechanics energies revealed that the disparities are mainly due to errors in the 1-center energies of the semiempirical calculations. The 2-center bonding and nonbonding energies followed reasonable trends for the conformers. The core-repulsion function, however, is suspected of producing anomalies. A minimum in the attractive Gaussian of this term at 2.1 Å for H—H interactions partly explains the propensity of the 5-membered rings to optimize to near planarity (decreasing 1,2-diaxial hydrogen distances to 2.3 Å) and the underestimation of the relative energy of the boat structure of cyclohexane.

    Notizen: We have derived alternative expressions for computing the energies and forces associated with angle bending and torsional energy terms commonly used in molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics computer programs. Our expressions address the problems of singularities that are intrinsic in popular angle energy functions and that occur from other chain rule derivations of force expressions. Most chain rule derivations of expressions for Cartesian forces due to angle energies make use of relations such as \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{\partial E}}{{\partial x}} = \frac{{\partial E}}{{\partial \phi }}\frac{{\partial \phi }}{{\partial \cos \phi }}\frac{{\partial \cos \phi }}{{\partial x}} $$\end{document} where φ is a bond or torsion angle, E(φ) is energy, and ∂/∂x represents a derivative with respect to some Cartesian coordinate. This expression leads to singularities from the middle term, -1/sin φ, when φ is 0 or π. This is a problem that prevents the use of torsional energy expressions that have phase angles, φ°, other than 0 or π, such as in E(φ) = κ[1 + cos(nφ - phsi;°)]. Our derivations make use of a different, but equivalent, form of the chain rule: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{\partial E}}{{\partial x}} = \frac{{\partial E}}{{\partial \phi }}\frac{{\partial \phi }}{{\partial x}} $$\end{document} This form still possesses singularities for the bond angle forces since the last factor is undefined when φ is 0 or π. However, the alternate form may be used to great advantage for the torsional angle forces where no such problem arises. The new expressions are necessary if one desires the use of torsional energy expressions with general phase angles. Even for energy expressions in common use, i.e., with phase angles of 0 or π, our force expressions are as computationally efficient as the standard ones. The new expressions are applicable to all molecular simulations that employ restrained, or phase-shifted, torsional angle energy expressions.

    Notizen: Atomic monopoles are routinely determined through a least squares fit to molecular electrostatic potentials. We report studies of the variation in atomic monopoles with variation in conformation for the zwitterionic polar head group of lecithins, a common class of lipid. The monopole of one atom, a relatively buried carbon, varied by 1.3 electron units between different conformers. “Exterior” atoms, as seen previously, showed smaller changes in charge and smaller estimated standard deviations. The total charge of local groups of atoms varied less than the charge of individual atoms, indicating that shifts in charge occurred mostly between neighboring atoms. This effect might be reflected in the high correlations seen between charges of many neighboring atoms. These correlations, while present for many logical groupings of atoms (such as within methylene and methyl groups), are curiously absent between some bonded atoms. Monopoles were fit to multiple conformations simultaneously to provide a charge set that could optimally reproduce the electrostatic potential of all the conformers as a means of generating monopoles for molecular dynamics simulations or other studies where conformation varies. In some cases, the charges on chemically equivalent atoms (e.g., the hydrogen atoms in a methyl group) were different by more than their estimated error of fit. These studies lead to the suggestion that a minimum error in reported charges is on the order of 10%. All conformations show that the positive charge of the trimethylalkyl ammonium group is carried by the methyl hydrogens; the total charge on the nine hydrogens is over 2 electron units, counterbalanced by negative monopoles on the carbons. The presence of this diffuse cloud of substantial charge would appear to be a disindicator of the use of a “united” atoms approach for these methyl groups. The effects of the charge variation on intermolecular interactions is also examined.

    Notizen: An ab initio study of 3-chloro-, 3-hydroxy-, 3-mercapto-, and 3-amino-propanenitrile and 4-chloro-bu- tanenitrile was carried out at several levels of theory. The calculated stabilities and geometrical trends are interpreted in terms of the effects of intramolecular hydrogen bonds and anomeric interactions, and compared with available experimental data.

    Notizen: Quantum mechanical (ab initio and semiempirical) and force field calculations are reported for representative torsion potentials in several tetrahydropyran derivatives. The overall agreement between the various methods is quite good except that the AMBER torsion profiles are sensitive to the choice of atomic point charges. Using electrostatic potential (ESP) derived atomic point charges determined with the STO-3G basis set we find that AMBER is able to match the best quantum mechanical results quite well. However, when the point charges are derived using the 6-31G* basis set we find that scaling the intramolecular electrostatic nonbond interactions is necessary. AM1 does not work very well for these compounds when compared to the ab initio methods and, therefore, should only be used in cases when ab initio calculations would be prohibitive. Based upon our results we feel that any force field that makes use of 6-31G* ESP derived atomic point charges will need to scale intramolecular interactions. Implications of scaling intramolecular interactions to the development of force fields based on 6-31G* ESP derived atomic point charges are discussed. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution of anisole, chlorobenzene, and fluorobenzene obtained from STO-3G, 3-21G, and 6-31G* basis set ab initio and MNDO and AM1 semiempirical wave functions is investigated to explain the differences among the MEP features obtained for polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins. The main topological features as well as the absoltue and relative minima location obtained from ab initio calculations are independent from the choice of the basis set. MNDO calculations are in good agreement with the ab initio ones in the case of anisole and fluorobenzene, while they incorrectly describe the MEP of chlorobenzene. The AM1 fails to localize the absolute minimum of fluorobenzene and does not find the minimum above the chlorobenzene chlorine atom. The poor agreement of both semiempirical methods with ab initio for any kind of chlorinated compounds is confirmed by results obtained for chloreothylene and chloroethane. We hypothesize that the main problem concerning these methods is that they freeze a too large amount of electrons in the atomic core of elements belonging to the second row, which makes for a wrong description of the core-valence electron interactions. Results obtained by modifying the AM1 parameters related to these interactions confirm our hypothesis. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A numerical method for solving the approximate Schrödinger equation (SE) for a single internal motion is presented. In the SE the reduced moment of inertia I(φ) and potential energy V(φ) are expressed as functions of the torsional angle φ. Molecular examples include ethane, chloroethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane for which I(φ) and V(φ) have been derived from the HF/6-31G* optimized geometries and energies at φ increments of 30°. The resulting potential energy curves, energy levels, and wave functions are shown graphically. The calculated fundamental torsional frequencies are found to fall within 10 cm-1 of the experimental values. Approximations for the off-diagonal energy matrix elements, and numerical accuracy of torsional energy levels, are shown to be satisfactory. Attention is called to the computer programs developed for this work and their applications to torsional studies in relevant areas of spectroscopy, thermodynamics, and reaction rates. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The electronegativities () of some 36 atoms/groups (including some 6 ionic ones) X are calculated from the atomic charges in the corresponding methyl species CH3X that were obtained by applying Bader's theory of atoms in molecules. The numerical values of the for the various groups studied are reasonable and correlate linearly with the two existing experimental scales for group electronegativity, Inamoto's i scale and the 1JCC (ortho-ipso) coupling constants in the monosubstituted benzenes, to satisfactory extents. The relations between the values and some “critical properties” of the various CH3X molecules considered are also studied. It is suggested that in a molecule PX, rP/R where rP is the distance of Bader's critical point on the bond PX of length R from the atom P or the binding atom of the group P can be a very good measure of the electronegativity of the atom/group X. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Modifications to the distance geometry algorithm as embodied in the program DGEOM have been made to improve sampling capabilities. Specifically, torsion angle sampling replaces distance sampling for 1,4 atomic relationships and correlated distance sampling is disabled. The effects of these modifications are illustrated by comparing the different sets of conformations produced for butane. In addition, these changes are shown to increase the conformational sampling of two medium-sized rings, cycloheptadecane and caprylolactam. The current results for these molecules are compared to those of other conformational searching methods.

    Notizen: A two-component Kramers' restricted Hartree-Fock method (KRHF) has been developed for the polyatomic molecules with closed shell configurations. The present KRHF program utilizes the relativistic effective core potentials with spin-orbit operators at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level and produces molecular spinors obeying the double group symmetry. The KRHF program enables the variational calculation of spin-orbit interactions at the HF level. KRHF calculations have been performed for the HX, X2, XY(X, Y = I, Br), and CH3I molecules. It is demonstrated that the orbital energies from KRHF calculations are useful for the interpretation of spin-orbit splittings in photoelectron spectra. In all molecules studied, bond lengths are only slightly expanded, harmonic vibrational frequencies are reduced, and bond energies are significantly decreased by the spin-orbit interactions.

    Notizen: A computational chemistry study of the artificial redox enzyme synthesized by covalently attaching flavin to cyclodextrins explains some of its properties. Calculations indicate that the flavin moiety covalently attached to cyclodextrin is not within the cavity of cyclodextrin. This result is consistent with the UV-vis spectrum of the artificial enzyme. The calculations also indicate hydrogen bonds formed between the carbonyl groups of the catalytic functionality and the hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin play a role in their most stable conformation. This explains the observed overall stability of these artificial enzymes compared to riboflavin. Electrostatic energies and solvation energies play a major role in the stability of the hosts and the orientation of guests included within the artificial enzymes. The rates of oxidation of various thiols catalyzed by the artificial enzyme can be explained by the relative distances between the sulfur atom of the substrates and C(4a) of the flavin moiety.

    Notizen: The polynomial path is introduced for the calculation of liquid state free energies. The well-characterized SPC, TIP4P, and MCY water models were used to demonstrate its efficiency, as well as its range of applicability in conjunction with Monte Carlo computer simulations using thermodynamic integration based on Gaussian quadratures. The technique employed is compared with the slow-growth method (another variant of thermodynamic integration), the perturbation method, and the use of the grand-canonical ensemble.

    Notizen: The free energy gradient or Hessian of a molecule interacting with a liquid represented by a dielectric continuum is derived in the self-consistent reaction field formalism. An ellipsoidal approximation of the cavity is proposed with an algorithm to automatically define the ellipsoid from the nuclear coordinates of the atoms. With this approximation, geometry optimization of the solvated molecule becomes very fast. This method has been implemented in some standard ab initio or semiempirical computational codes. As a first test of the method, full geometry optimization of formamide in a high dielectric constant medium reveals that the CPU time needed for one optimization cycle is less than 3% longer for a solvated species than for the corresponding free molecule.

    Notizen: The geometry of acryloyl fluoride was optimized completely at the RHF/6-31G* level of theory at 10 points on the theoretical potential energy curve for internal rotation. The energies obtained were used to determine a six term cosine expansion of the torsional potential energy function. This function was then refined using the experimental torsional transition frequencies in the s-trans and s-cis wells in conjunction with the geometrical parameters optimized at the RHF/6-31G* level. The effective potential function obtained is compared with previous results. The necessity of accounting for relaxation of the geometry upon internal rotation is stressed. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) methods allow a fast and accurate calculations of the reaction field (charge-solvent) energies for molecular systems. Unfortunately, the energy in the FDPB calculations includes the self-energies and the finite-difference approximation to the Coulombic energies as well as the reaction field energy. A second finite-difference calculation, in a uniform dielectric, is therefore necesssary to eliminate these contributions. In this article we describe a rapid and accurate method to calculate the self energy and finite-difference Coulombic energies in a uniform dielectric thus eliminating the need for a second finite-difference calculation. The computational savings for this method range from a factor of 4 for a typical protein to a factor of 103 for small molecules. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Simulation data from an off-lattice polymer model are compared with data from the Rouse model. The polymer model is built of sequentially connected rigid monomer units that represent the amide planes of a protein backbone. The time propagation of the dynamics of the polymer model is performed by a Monte Carlo method. The elementary Monte Carlo steps correspond to local confomational changes in a window of three consecutive monomer units. The time autocorrelation functions of end-to-end distances from segments within the linear chain molecule are considered in detail. Both models exhibit a stretched exponential decay pattern. A comparison of the data from the Rouse model and the computer simulation provide an estimate of the time unit of 15 ps for a full scan of the algorithm for local conformational changes along the chain. With a conservative estimate of the parameters governing the Rouse model this time unit is four orders of magnitude longer than the elementary time step of a conventional computer simulation of polymer dynamics based upon the classical equations of motion for all atoms. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A semi-empirical NDDO method, generalized from a similar scheme at the CNDO/2 level developed previously, is presented to treat very large molecules. The extended molecular system is divided into a relatively small subsystem where substantial chemical changes take place and an environment remaining more-or-less unperturbed during the process. Expanding the wave function on an atomic hybrid basis an SCF procedure is performed for the subsystem in the field of the iteratively determined electronic distribution of the environment. A computer program has been written for the IBM RISC System/6000 530 computer and several test calculations were done for a variety of large classical molecules, like substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, water oligomers, and a heptapeptide. Protonation energies, proton transfer potential curves, rotational barriers, atomic net charges, and HOMO and LUMO energies, as computed by the exact version of the NDDO method, are fairly well reproduced by our approximation if the subsystem is appropriately defined. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Four semiempirical methods (AM1, MNDO, PM3, and MINDO/3) are used to calculate the deformation angles of [n]paracyclophanes and their Dewar benzene isomers for n = 3… 10. The results obtained by all these methods are in good agreement with data from X-ray studies. We have determined the strain energies that, in both series of compounds, are due to two components: (1) the strain energy of deformation of the cycle (aromatic or Dewar Benzene skeletons) and (2) the strain energy of the oligomethylene chain. In [6]paracyclophane, the strain energy [SEring(MNDO) ≍ 32.9 kcal/mol] almost compensates the resonance energy (Eresonance ≈ 36 kcal/mol) so that its chemical properties are closer to alkenes than to benzenic compounds. To better reproduce the enthalpy of the valence isomerization [n]Dewar bezene → [n]paracyclophane, which is poorly calculated with these methods, a correction is proposed and the reaction enthalpy of [6]paracyclophane is estimated to be about ΔHr ≈ 15 ± 15 kcal/mol. It is found that MNDO and MINDO/3 need the smallest corrections, but MNDO leads to better geometries than MINDO/3. In conclusion, MNDO seems to be the best technique for further studies of these compounds. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Our recently proposed scheme for including aqueous solvation free energies in parameterized NDDO SCF models is extended to the Parameterized Model 3 semiempirical Hamiltonian. The solvation model takes accurate account of the hydrophobic effect for hydrocarbons, as well as electric polarization of the solvent, the free energy of cavitation, and dispersion interactions. Eight heteroatoms are included (along with H and C), and the new model is parameterized accurately for the water molecule itself, which allows meaningful treatments of specifically hydrogen bonded water molecules. The unphysical partial charges on nitrogen atoms predicted by the Parameterized Model 3 Hamiltonian limit the accuracy of the predicted solvation energies for some compounds containing nitrogen, but the model may be very useful for other systems, especially those for which PM3 is preferred over AM1 for the solute properties of the particular system under study. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A distribution of conformations of heptaalanine is obtained using a new Monte Carlo (MC) method that grows the chain atom by atom. Resulting configurations are energy minimized and a detailed analysis is performed of the minimum-energy conformers using a method of classification that partitions φψ space. The MC-generated configurations are compared with those generated from high-temperature molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It is found that the new method generates a wide distribution of low-energy conformers at least 10 times more quickly than the MD. An analysis of the generated energy minima demonstrates that they can be divided into clusters in the space defined by the five pairs of φ - ψ angles of the inner residues. The space occupied by the minima populating each cluster is restricted. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: An algorithm for the rapid analytical determination of the accessible surface areas of solute molecules is described. The accessible surface areas as well as the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian coordinates of the atoms are computed by a program called “MSEED,” which is based in part on Connolly's analytical formulas for determining surface area. Comparisons of the CPU time required for MSEED, Connolly's numerical algorithm DOT, and a program for surface area determination (ANA) based on Connolly's analytical algorithm, are presented. MSEED is shown to be as much as 70 times faster than ANA and up to 11 times faster than DOT for several proteins. The greater speed of MSEED is achieved partially because nonproductive computation of the surface areas of internal atoms is avoided. A sample minimization of an energy function, which included a term for hydration, was carried out on MET-enkephalin using MSEED to compute the solvent-accessible surface area and its derivatives. The potential employed was ECEPP/2 plus an empirical potential for solvation based on the solvent-accessible surface area of the peptide. The CPU time required for 150 steps of minimization with the potential that included solvation was approximately twice as great as the CPU time required for 150 steps of minimization with the ECEPP/2 potential only.

    Notizen: The application of molecular mechanics methods for the study of structures has become a standard approach to conformational analysis. The MM2 force field has been extended to include imines. In general, a diverse group of aliphatic and aromatic imine structures can now be treated. The rotational energy profiles and barriers to N-substituted imines about the Csp2—Csp2 single bonds adjacent to C=N functional group were calculated via ab initio MO theory. Information obtained from the quantum mechanical calculations at the 3-21G, 6-31G*, and MP4/6-31G* //6-31G* levels was used both to study the phenomena involved and to parameterize MM2. The syn-anti isomerization was also studied, and the mechanistic pathways have been evaluated. In cases where the comparison with experimental data can be made, the agreements are good.

    Notizen: The recently extended SINDO1 method is used to study geometries, electronic structures, and chemical bonding of transition metal organometallic compounds. The optimized distances and angles between metal atoms and organic ligands are in fair agreement with experimental data and are comparable to ab initio results. The comparison of orbital energies between the current method and ab initio methods shows that the method can give a correct description of electronic structure and bonding patterns of organometallic compounds. The method is also used to calculate atomic and bond valence, which are defined in terms of appropriate combinations of first-order density matrix elements for molecules. The valence indices provide a straightforward and easy-to-interpret way to analyze the magnitude of metal-carbon and metal-metal bonds.

    Notizen: A preliminary study of the capability of the finite difference and finite element methods (FDM, FEM) to evaluate eigenvalues of one-, two-, and three-dimensional self-adjoint operators is reported with reference to applications dealing with the description of vibrational levels. Results of harmonic oscillator model potentials and ab initio PES for the water molecule are obtained by using the FDM. In spite of the large matrices used, low accuracy, nonvariational results are found. A different method, based on FEM and normal coordinates, is therefore proposed. Two nearly harmonic cases are studied and it is shown that variational results with higher accuracy can be obtained with a moderate cost. The vibrational levels of the water molecule are also calculated in order to compare the results with those of the FDM treatment.

    Notizen: A coarse-grain, parallel approach to direct Hartree-Fock calculations is presented and discussed. The suggested scheme allows for a near asymptotic speedup involving a very low parallelization overhead without compromising the vector performance of vector-parallel architectures. A shared-memory MIMD implementation, for which very high speeds of computation have been achieved, is discussed in detail.

    Notizen: Our previously developed approaches for integrating quantum mechanical molecular orbital methods with microscopic solvent models are refined and examined. These approaches consider the nonlinear solute-solvent coupling in a self-consistent way by incorporating the potential from the solvent dipoles in the solute Hamiltonian, while considering the polarization of the solvent by the potential from the solute charges. The solvent models used include the simplified Langevin Dipoles (LD) model and the much more expensive surface constrained All Atom Solvent (SCAAS) model, which is combined with a free energy pertubation (FEP) approach. Both methods are effectively integrated with the quantum mechanical AMPAC package and can be easily combined with other quantum mechanical programs. The advantages of the present approaches and their earlier versions over macroscopic reaction field models and supermolecular approaches are considered. A LD/MNDO study of solvated organic ions demonstrates that this model can yield reliable solvation energies, provided the quantum mechanical charges are scaled to have similar magnitudes to those obtained by high level ab initio methods. The incorporation of a field-dependent hydrophobic term in the LD free energy makes the present approach capable of evaluating the free energy of transfer of polar molecules from non polar solvents to aqueous solutions. The reliability of the LD approach is examined not only by evaluating a rather standard set of solvation energies of organic ions and polar molecules, but also by considering the stringent test case of sterically hindered hydrophobic ions. In this case, we compare the LD/MNDO solvation energies to the more rigorous FEP/SCAAS/MNDO solvation energies. Both methods are found to give similar results even in this challenging test case. The FEP/SCAAS/AMPAC method is incorporated into the current version of the program ENZYMIX. This option allows one to study chemical reactions in enzymes and in solutions using the MNDO and AM1 approximations. A special procedure that uses the EVB method as a reference potential for SCF MO calculations should help in improving the reliability of such studies.

    Notizen: PEFF is a new computer program designed to assist in the development of empirical force fields used in molecular mechanics calculations. Its main features are: constrained and unconstrained energy minimization available with four different techniques, rigid group refinement, crystal lattice summations, calculation of normal modes, thermodynamic functions and crystallographic temperature factors, vibrational corrections of calculated crystal structures, and a multidimensional driver to scan the energy hypersurface. Used in force field optimization mode, the program employs a least-squares method to fit the force field parameters to a set of experimental data.
