    Notes: Abstract In the female grasshopper Gomphocerus rufus mating elicits ‘secondary defense’ which makes remating impossible. The behavioral change is caused by the liquid white secretions, proteins of less than 90 kD, which are produced by the white tubuli of the male's accessory glands. Experimental injection of the white secretions directly into the spermathecal duct of receptive virgins provokes ‘secondary defense’ instantly whereas sperm transfer had no such effect. ‘Secondary defense’ is also released by eggs entering the oviducts and excerting pressure against the oviductal walls on their way to oviposition.

    Notes: The solution structure of a 20 amino acid long peptide corresponding to the region 141-160 of the envelope protein Vp1 from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype A, variant A, has been determined by a combination of NMR experiments and computer calculations. The peptide contains both the immunodominant epitope as well as the sequence (RGD) used by the virus to bind the cell receptor in the initial stages of infection. These two sites have been shown to partially overlap.One hundred and thirty-five NMR distance constraints were used to obtain a set of 11 structures by distance geometry, minimization and molecular dynamics simulations. These structures were divided into two homogeneous families based upon backbone superimposition. The first and most populated family was characterized by a backbone RMS of 1.5±0.4 Å, the second by a backbone RMS of 0.8±0.2 Å. The two families had similar structural features and differed mainly in the backbone angles of G149. In the larger of the two families these angles favoured the formation of a loop comprising residues 147 to 152 and stabilized by a H-bond between the NH of D147 and the CO of A152. In the second family, where this bond was absent, the peptide adopted in this region the shape of an irregular helix. The C-terminal half of the peptide (152-159) was similar in both families and largely helical. Similar structural features were also found within the VRGDS sequence (144-148) which was assigned to a β-turn type IV. The features of the two families of structures were found to be different from those of the recently published X-ray structure of the antigenic loop of a chemically modified form of FMDV. Proposals accounting for these differences are provided which take into account the dual activity of the 141-160 sequence (i.e. antibody binding and cell invasion through receptor binding).

    Notes: The solution structure of a peptide corresponding to the VP1 region 141-160 of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype A variant USA has been studied by NMR and computer calculations and compared with the results from a study on a highly homologous peptide deriving from serotype A, variant A. The two peptides differ in their serological behaviour and contain the immunodominant epitope of the virus which partly overlaps with its receptor binding region. Distance constraints, derived both from 2D and 3D homonuclear NMR and 2D-heteronuclear NMR experiments, were combined with DG calculations to yield 50 structures. After refinement through EM and restrained molecular dynamics simulations the selected structures shared several general features. In particular the 151-158 region was a helix in all cases while a large loop similar to that found in peptide A but comprising less residues and stabilized by an H-bond between the side chains of D147 and S150 was found in the majority of structures. A further loop, common to all structures, was identified around the RGD sequence (145-147). This was different from that found in the corresponding region of peptide A as were the conformations of the individual residues within the RGDX sequence.The different structural features shown by the two peptides were rationalized in terms of the S148 (peptide A) to F148 (peptide USA) mutation. The second mutation, that at position 153 (L in A, P in USA) did not appear to affect the structure of the peptide significantly although the different dimensions of the loop in the central region and the type of H-bond stabilizing it could be potentially ascribed to this second mutation.All criteria used pointed to different structural features for the two peptides consistent with their serological behaviour.

    Notes: We report the solid-phase synthesis by the Fmoc strategy of a peptide containing a cysteamide group at its C-terminus. This peptide was subject to further modifications including the linkage of fluorophores, namely lucifer yellow and coumarin respectively, at the C- and/or N-terminals. After incubation with living cultured cells these two probes were localized and it is concluded that the post-synthesis modifications can strongly modify the localization of the peptide.

    Notes: The role of end groups in determining stereochemistry and packing in hydrophobic helical peptides has been investigated using an α-aminosobutyric acid (Aib) containing model nonapeptide sequence. In contrast to the Boc-analogue, Ac-(Aib-Val-Ala-Leu)2-Aib-OMe crystallizes with two independent molecules in a triclinic cell. The cell parameters are: space group P1, a=10.100(2)Å, b=15.194(4) Å, c=19.948(5) Å, α=63.12(2)°, β=88.03(2)°, γ=88.61(2)°, Z=2, R=7.96% for 5140 data where |Fo|〉3σ(F). The two independent molecules alternate in infinite columns formed by head-to-tail hydrogen bonding. The helices in the two independent molecules are quite similar to each other but one molecule is rotated ≍123° about its helix axis with respect to the other. All the helical columns pack parallel to each other in the crystal. Replacement of the bulky Boc group does not lead to any major changes in conformation. Packing characteristics are also similar to those observed for similar helical peptides.

    Notes: The granular dorsal glands of the giant tree frog Litoria infrafrenata contain five peptides including caerulein (a known neuropeptide), and four new peptides named frenatins 1 (MH+ = 1140 Da), 2 (1423), 3 (2180) and 4 (2493). The amino acid sequences of the frenatins are detailed: their structures do not correspond to those of peptides isolated from other amphibians or animals. Frenatin 3, Gly-Leu-Met-Ser-Val-Leu-Gly-His-Ala-Val-Gly-Asn-Val-Leu-Gly- Gly-Leu-Phe-Lys-Pro-Lys-Ser-(OH), has wide spectrum antimicrobial properties.

    Notes: The relation between the various spatial structures of the gramicidin A channels and their ionic conductance has been studied. For this aim, various conformations of the peptide were pre-formed in liposomal bilayer and after subsequent fusion of liposomes with planar lipid bilayer the measured channel conductance was correlated with gramicidin structures established in liposomes. To form the single-stranded π6.3π 6.3 helix the peptide and lipid were co-dissolved in TFE prior to liposome preparation. THF and other solvents were used to form parallel (↑ ↑ π π) and antiparallel (↑ ↓ π π) double helices. Conformation of gramicidin in liposomes made by various phosphatidylcholines was monitored by CD spectroscopy, and computer analysis of the spectra obtained was performed. After fusion of gramicidin containing liposomes with planar bilayer membranes from asolectin, the histograms of single-channel conductance were obtained. The histograms had one or three distinct peaks depending on the liposome preparation. Assignment of the structure of the channel to conductance levels was made by correlation of CD data with conductance histograms. The channel-forming analogue, des(Trp-Leu)2-gramicidin A, has been studied by the same protocol. The channel conductances of gramicidin A and the shortened analogue increase in the following order: ↑ ↓ π π 2 ↑ ↑ π π 〈 π 6.3π6.3. Single-channels formed by double helices have higher dispersity of conductance than the π6.3π6.3 helical channel. Lifetimes of the double helical and the π6.3π6.3 helical channels are very close to each other. The data obtained were compared with theoretically predicted properties of double helices [1].

    Notes: The hypervariable domain of the HIV gp120, the V3 loop domain, represents a target for neutralizing antibodies and for HIV vaccine strategies. In this study, we have investigated in murine species the potential cross-reactivity of immune responses elicited by immunization either with individual V3 peptides, derived from distinct HIV sequences (BRU, RF, SF2, MN and ELI sequences), or with a V3 combinatorial peptide library.We observed that individual V3 peptides are immunogenic but elicit a specific B- and T-cell immune response that is mainly restricted to the sequence of the immunizing peptide. In particular, T-cell responses that depend on T-cell receptor recognition of peptides bound to the molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex were significantly influenced by small differences in the peptide amino acid sequence. The combinatorial V3 peptide library, previously described as B- and T-cell immunogens, induced a more broadly reactive immune response, specially when T-cell cytokine secretion was used as a readout for restimulation of T-cells with individual V3 peptides.These data suggest that amino acid variations in the sequence of an antigenic peptide could lead to the induction of different transducing signals in the primed T-cell population and to the activation of T-cells with distinct cytokine secretion properties. These observations may have implications in the understanding of antigenic variability and in the design of vaccine strategies.

    Notes: Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a peptide amide comprising 36 residue has been shown to act as a potent vasoconstrictor. In order to shed light on the structural requirements for the biological activities with respect to the different prerequisites for affinity to the NPY receptor subtypes Y1 and Y2, in the present study the syntheses and conformational analyses of two C-terminal segments, NPY(18-36) and NPY(13-36), are described.The results obtained by CD measurements, two-dimensional NMR spectros copy and a conformational refinement of the NMR-derived structure by molecular mechanics simulations support the findings of previously published structure -activity relationship studies for biologically active and selective compounds. In particular, the α-helical conformation as well as an appropriate exposure of the side chains of the critical C-terminal dipeptide within NPY(18-36) are in agreement with the prerequisites proposed for Y2 receptor binding of that segment.

    Notes: The design of cecropin-melittin hybrid analogues is of interest due to the similarities in the structure of the antimicrobial peptides cecropin and melittin but differences in their lytic properties. We suspected that a hydrophobic residue in position 2 of milittin (Ile8 in the hybrid) plays an important role in the activity of the 15-residue hybrid, KWKLFKKIGAVLKVL-NH2, [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] and have now examined its role in the analogue toward five test bacteria. Deletion of Ile8 reduced activity, and it was not restored by lengthening to 15 residues by addition of another threonine at the C-terminus. Replacement of Ile8 by a hydrophobic leucine maintained good activity and Ala8 was equally active for four organisms, although less active against Staphylococcus aureus. Replacement by the hydrophilic Ser8 strongly reduced potency against all five organisms. Deletion of Leu15 decreased activity, but addition of Thr16 maintained good activity. The presence of hydrophobic residues appears to have a significant effect on the process of antibacterial activity. These peptide analogues showed voltage-dependent conductance changes and are capable of forming ion-pores in planar lipid bilayers. The antibacterial action of the peptides is thought to be first an ionic interaction with the anionic phosphate groups of the membrane followed by interaction with the hydrocarbon core of the membrane and subsequent reorientation into amphipathic α-helical peptides that form pores (ion-channels), which span the membrane. The analogue also showed an increase in α-helicity with an increase in hexafluoro 2-propanol concentration.

    Notes: For flexible peptides, nuclear Overhauser Effects (NOE) experiments do not provide enough information to ensure a correct definition of their solution structure. The use of distance constraints, derived from the knowledge of proton chemical shifts, is developed to restrict the number of possible conformations. In the case of flexible molecules, randomization appears as an important factor of the correct estimation of the chemical shifts from the 3D structure. The refinement of the solution structure of the highly flexible AVP-like parallel dimer is described to illustrate this process.

    Notes: A series of peptides and glycopeptides derived by amino acid and glycosyl amino acid scans through the self peptide from CBA/J mouse haemoglobin Hb (67-76), VITAFNEGLK, was synthesized by multiple column peptide synthesis (MCPS). Investigation of glycopeptide binding to the mouse major histocompatibility class II molecule Ek showed that glycans in position 72 did not interfere with the binding to Ek. Immunization experiments revealed that glycopeptides with the glycan in position 72 were immunogenic. Therefore a series of N-linked and O-linked glycopeptides with the glycan attached in the position 72 either to serine, threonine or asparagine was synthesized by MCPS. The glycan structure was furthermore varied with respect to monosacc haride component, size of oligosaccharide, anomer configuration and stereoche mistry of essential hydroxyl groups in order to investigate the specificity of the interaction with the T-cell receptor. Easy synthesis of ready to use Ser and Thr building blocks corresponding to mucin core 1, the Tn-antigen and its β-anomer were developed using trichloroacetimidates as glycosyl donors and reduction with in situ acetylation of the azide containing glycosylation products. Synthesis of an α-linked GlcNAc-Thr building block was achieved by glycosylation of Fmoc-Thr-OPfp with 2-azido-2-deoxy-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D- glycopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate as a glycosyl donor. Other building blocks were obtained by previously described procedures.

    Notes: Melittin peptides carrying 2,4-dinitro-6-carboxyphenyl (Dncp) haptenic groups regularly evoked anti-hapten IgG responses in mice or guinea pigs when the hapten was C-terminally attached. Single haptens on the N-terminal helix in several positions gave poor or no responses in the early stages but adequate titres after prolonged immunization. Peptides with Dncp at the C-terminus as an invariant feature and a second Dncp in various positions along the peptide chain did not fail to produce adequate responses. The hampering effect is not due to a defect at the T-cell level but involves the recognition step on the B-cell. It is implied that the haptenic interaction with the paratope of the recognizing immunoglob ulin on the B-cell involves the cell membrane in an important way. It is also suggested that late antibody responses should not be overlooked during the development of proteinaceous immunogens for vaccination.

    Notes: Novel backbone-to-side chain and backbone-to-backbone cyclic analogues of substance P (SP) were prepared by solid-phase synthesis and screened for biological activity. An analogue containing a thioether- lactam ring between positions 9 and 11 showed an EC50 value of 20nM toward the neurokinin 1 (NK-1) and was inactive toward the NK-2 and NK-3 receptors. On the other hand, in a multiple backbone cyclic peptide library of similar analogues, in which the sulphur was excluded from the ring, very low activity was detected. The activity was re-evaluated and was found to be even lower (EC50=0.11 mM) than the previously published data. These results indicate that the thioether moiety has a crucial role in receptor activation. The results also show tolerance of the NK-1 receptor, but not NK-2 or NK-3, to cyclization of the C-terminal portion of the SP6-11 hexapeptide.

    Notes: A multivalent ligand system was constructed by coimmobilization of two kinds of peptide ligands, enkephalin and neurotensin derivatives having a dioctadecyl group, on dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes. The enkephalin derivatives are Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Trp-Leu- (Sar-Sar-Pro)n-[N(C18H37)2] (Enk3nD, n=0, 1, 2), where a dioctadecyl group was connected to the C-terminal side of enkephalin directly or through a hydrophilic and flexible spacer chain of different lengths. The neurotensin derivatives are Ac-Glu[N(C18H37)2]-(Sar-Sar-Pro)n-Arg-Arg-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Leu-OH (D3nNT, n=0, 1, 2, 3). The derivatives were spontaneously immobilized on DMPC liposomes by overnight incubation. The receptor affinity of the enkephalin derivatives became significantly higher upon immobilization on liposomes. The highest affinity was obtained for the δ receptor by Enk6D immobilized on DMPC liposomes. This affinity is higher than that of enkephalinamide. Neurotensin derivatives coimmobilized with large amounts of Enk3D on DMPC liposomes show higher affinity than the neurotensin derivatives immobilized alone. The effect of Enk3D on the receptor affinity of the coimmobilized neurotensin derivative disappeared by the addition of [Ala2, MePhe4, Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAGO). Therefore, the receptor affinity of a peptide hormone is altered by immobilization on DMPC liposomes and by coimmobilization with other peptide hormones. It was confirmed by fluorescent microscopy that the multivalent ligand system binds to receptors without release of the bound ligands from DMPC liposomes.

    Notes: A new method has been developed for the rapid determination of D-cysteine contents in synthetic peptides. It is based on the reduction of cystine residues, when present, with tris- alkylphosphines, selective derivatization of the cysteine residues with 4-vinylpyridine, followed by acid hydrolysis of the (4-pyridylethyl)cysteine -peptides. Baseline enantiomeric resolution of theD,L-S-β-(4-pyridylethyl)cysteine, and thus quantification ofD- enantiomer contents at levels ≤1%, is easily achieved by capillary zone electrophoresis exploiting the host-guest complexation principle with crown ethers or by gas chromatography on chiral glass capillary columns upon conventional derivatization of the hydrolysate. The acid-stability of the (4-pyridylethyl)cysteine derivative prevents racemization via thiazoline intermediates and allows for standardization of the acid hydrolysis-dependent racemization.

    Notes: Human midkine (hMK), a novel heparin-binding neurotrophic factor consisting of 121 amino acid residues with five intramolecular disulphide bonds, was synthesized by solution procedure in order to demonstrate the usefulness of our newly developed solvent system, a mixture of dichloromethane or chloroform and trifluoroethanol. The final protected 121-residue peptide was assembled from two large fully protected intermediates, Boc-(1-5 9)-OH and H-(60-121)-OBzl, in CHL/TFE (3:1, v/v) using water-soluble carbodiimide in the presence of HOOBt as coupling reagents. After removal of the protecting groups by HF followed by treatment with Hg(OAc)2 in 50% acetic acid, the fully deprotected peptide was subjected to the oxidative folding reaction. The final product was confirmed to have the correct disulphide structure from its tryptic peptide mapping and to possess the same biological activities as those of the natural product. In order to clarify the active region of the hMK molecule, the N-terminal and C-terminal half domains [(1-59) and (60-121)] were also synthesized by the same procedure used for the hMK synthesis. The C-half domain was confirmed to show the full pattern of bioactivities except for the neuronal cell survival activity, while the N-half one showed much less activity in general.

    Notes: The pentapeptide Boc-Val-ΔPhe-Gly-ΔPhe-Val-OMe, containing two dehydro-phenylalanine (ΔPhe) residues, has been synthesized and its structure investigated. In the crystalline state, the molecule adopts a right-handed 310-helical conformation stabilized by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds between CO of Val1 and NH of ΔPhe4, and between CO of ΔPhe2 and NH of Val5, respectively. NMR measurements are consistent with the presence of 310-helical structures also in acetonitrile and dimethylsulphoxide solution: the distances between backbone protons estimated from NOE connectivities are in overall agreement with those observed in the solid state; the chemical shifts of the amide protons show the smaller temperature coefficients for the NHs that in solid state are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The CD spectra in acetonitrile, chloroform, methanol and dimethylsulphoxide display exciton couplets of bands corresponding to the ΔPhe electronic transition at 280nm; the sign of the bands is consistent with the presence of helical structures having a prevalent left-handed screw sense. Addition of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro- propan-2-ol gives rise to the gradual appearance of a couplet of opposite sign, suggesting the helix reversal from left-handed sense to right-handed sense. The conformational behaviour is discussed on the basis of the specific sequence of the peptide.

    Notes: The sequence of deltorphin I, a δ-selective opioid agonist, has been systematically modified by inserting conformationally constrained Cα,α disubstituted apolar residues in the third position. As expected, substitution of Phe with Ac6c, Ac5c and Ac3c yields analogues with decreasing but sizeable affinity. Surprisingly, substitution with Aib yields an analogue with almost the same binding affinity of the parent compound but with a greatly increased selectivity. This is the first case of a potent and very selective opioid peptide containing a single aromatic residue in the message domain, that is, only Tyr1. Here we report a detailed conformational analysis of [Aib3]deltorphin I and [Ac6c3]deltorphin I in DMSO at room temperature and in a DMSO/water cryomixture at low temperature, based on NMR spectroscopy and energy calculations. The peptides are highly structured in both solvents, as indicated by the exceptional finding of a nearly zero temperature coefficient of Val5 NH resonance. NMR data cannot be explained on the basis of a single structure but it was possible to interpret all NMR data on the basis of a few structural families. The conformational averaging was analysed by means of an original computer program that yields qualitative and quantitative composition of the mixture. Comparison of the preferred solution conformations with two rigid δ-selective agonists shows that the shapes of [Aib3]deltorphin I and [Ac6c3]deltorphin I are consistent with those of rigid agonists and that the message domain of opioid peptides can be defined only in conformational terms.

    Notes: ω-Agatoxin IVA, isolated from the venom of funnel web spider Agelenopsis aperta, blocks potently and selectively P-type calcium channels. This toxin, composed of 48 amino acids and containing 8 cysteine residues, was synthesized by the solid-phase procedure. The Cys residues were protected by acetamidomethyl (Acm) groups which were removed by mercuric acetate. During treatment with mercuric acetate, a by-product was detected, involving modification of tryptophan residues by the Acm groups. This side reaction can be completely prevented by addition of an excess of tryptophan in the reaction medium during Acm deprotection.The resulting peptide was submitted to an oxidative refolding, in different conditions, in order to determine the most favourable protocol. After formation of the four disulphide bonds, the toxin was purified by successive preparative HPLC, on two different supports, and fully characterized by analytical HPLC, capillary electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, mass spectrometry and Edman degradation. It was found to block the P-type calcium channel with a similar biological potency as described for the natural product.

    Notes: A complete series of terminally blocked, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the pentamer level) from the sterically demanding, medium-ring alicyclic Cα,α-disubstituted glycine 1-aminocyclooctane-1-carb oxylic acid (Ac8c), and two Ala/Ac8c tripeptides, were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The preferred conformation of all the oligopeptides was determined in deuterochloroform solution by IR absorption and 1H-NMR. The molecular structures of the amino acid derivative Z-Ac8c-OH, the dipeptide pBrBz- (Ac8c)2-OH and the tripeptide pBrBz-(Ac8c)3-OtBu were assessed in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction. Conformational energy computations were performed on the monopeptide Ac-Ac8c-NHMe. Taken together, the results obtained strongly support the view that the Ac8c residue is an effective β-turn and helix former. A comparison is also made with the conformational preferences of α-aminoisobutyric acid, the prototype of Cα, α-disubstituted glycines, and of the other members of the family of 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acids (Acnc, with n=3, 5-7) investigated so far. The implications for the use of the Ac8c residue in peptide conformational design are considered.

    Notes: The evaluation of peptide structures in solution is made feasible by the combined use of two-dimensional NMR in the laboratory (NOESY) and rotating frames (ROESY), and by the use of molecular dynamics calculations. The present paper describes how both the NMR method and molecular dynamics calculations were applied to very rigid synthetic bicyclic peptides that are analogues of natural amatoxins. The NMR theory, which allows the estimate of interatomic distances between interacting nuclei, is briefly discussed. The experimental data were compared with those of known solid-state structures. Three amatoxin analogues have been examined. Of these, one is biologically active (S-deoxo γ[R] OH-Ile3-amaninamide) and its structure in the solid state has recently been worked out. The second and third analogues (S-deoxo-Ile3 -Ala5-amaninamide and S-deoxo-D-Ile3 -amaninamide, respectively) are inactive and their solid-state structures are unknown. The data presented confirm the authors' previous hypothesis that lack of biological activity of S-deoxo-Ile3-Ala5- amaninamide is due to the masking of the tryptophan ring by the methyl group of L-Ala and not to massive conformational changes of the analogue.

The base-labile Tbfmoc group can be removed under very mild conditions, which preserve the thiol-con taining protein in the reduced state. Oxidative folding was then used to furnish the biologically active β-chemokine MCP-1.

    Notes: We have synthesized and crystallized the cyclic peptide (Gly-Aib-Gly) 2. Its structure has been determined by conventional X-ray diffracti on methods. In the crystal it adopts a conformation with one β-turn (type I) and its mirror image at the other side of the ring. All conformation al angles are similar to those reported for these amino acid residues. In particular the Aib residue has a conformation intermediate between α- and 310-helical conformations. The ring is an adequate model for the β-turn conformation. A molecule of formic acid is found in the crystal which shows a very short hydrogen bond with one of the glycine carbonyl groups.

This approach enables (i) the use of higher concentrations of activated amino acids, resulting in increased coupling rates, (ii) drastically decreased consumption of solvents, and (iii) the construction of multiple peptide synthesizers having virtually no reaction vessels.

    Notes: Synthetic lipopeptides are showing promise as vaccine candidates, but until now it has been very difficult to prepare them in homogeneous form. We describe the synthesis and characterization of a new water-soluble, four-branched template with a built-in lipophilic adjuvant (Pam3Cys). Through the use of oxime chemistry, we attached four copies of an unprotected influenza virus peptide and characterized the product (13kDa) by reversed-phase HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Several other such constructions were made using the new template and different peptides. We seem to have a general method for making synthetic lipopeptides in homogeneous form.

    Notes: During the past decade proteases have been widely used as catalysts in peptide synthesis. Unfortunately, they are not ideal ligases. Enzymatic peptide synthesis in frozen aqueous systems has been developed as an approach towards the suppression of competitive reactions. This paper summarizes reports concerning the behaviour of non-enzymatic as well as of enzyme-catalysed reactions when the reaction mixture is frozen. The advantages of freezing the reaction mixture in serine and cysteine protease-catalysed peptide synthesis, the influence of modified reaction conditions and the possible reasons for the yield-increasing effect of freezing are discussed.

    Notes: Taking into account the sequence homology existing between thymopoietin II and the DNA-binding domain of p53 protein, a series of octapeptides was synthesized, related to the wild p53 type protein as well as to its mutated forms, appearing in some human tumours. The wild type octapeptide has immunostimulative activity with regard to the humoral immune response, but is inactive in the cellular immune response. The mutated peptides of p53 differ in their immunomodulatory activity from the wild type octapeptide. The Ser5 analogue of the wild type peptide is a strong stimulant of the humoral immune response and enhances TNF-α production, while at the same time suppressing the cellular immune response. The data suggest that the mutations of p53, which favour tumour development and growth, may also change the immune activity of respective p53 fragments.

    Notes: We synthesized by classical solution methods three conformational constrained analogues of EDNEYTA, a heptapeptide sequence that represents the common major autophosphorylation site of the protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) of the Src family. The correlation between the different structural properties induced by the modifications of the native sequence and the propensity of the peptides to act as PTK substrates was examined. The kinetic data obtained indicate that the introduction of the tyrosine-analogue constraints Tic(OH) and MeTyr, which block the ring flexibility, completely prevents the phosphorylation catalysed by the kinases Lyn and Fgr. On the other hand PTKIIB/p38syk can phosphorylate the two derivatives albeit with an efficiency lower than that found with the native sequence. A third derivative contained side chain to side chain cyclization. This analogue, in which the freedom of the phenolic moiety is not altered, can be phosphorylated by all the PTKs tested with kinetic constants comparable to the parent peptide.

    Notes: The solution conformation of [D-Pen2,D-Pen5] enkephalin (DPDPE), a highly potent δ-selective opioid agonist, was examined by means of NMR, molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods. The structural information in the solvent water was obtained employing one- and two-dimensional methods of 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Based on the distance geometry technique using the ROE data as input, 400 conformers were obtained and considered in the structure analysis. Alternatively, about 2000 conformers were stochastically generated and related to the NMR data after energy minimization. The structure analysis provides one conformer in agreement with all NMR data, which belongs to the lowest energy conformation group. This structure may serve as a reference conformer for DPDPE analogues synthesized with the aim of activity increase.

    Notes: A simple procedure for the preparation of the specifically labelled peptide antibiotic zervamicins IC, IIA and IIB has been developed. The zervamicin molecules are labelled with stable isotopes by culturing the Emericellopsis salmosynnemata on a well-defined synthetic medium containing the highly isotopically enriched amino acid. To obtain the peptide with the specifically and highly enriched amino acid residue, precautions have been taken to prevent any de novo biosynthesis of the particular amino acid from unlabelled precursors. The enrichment of the labelled peptide is determined by mass spectrometric analysis. Following this method we have incorporated [2′,4′, 5′,6′,7′-2H5]-L-Trp-1, [1′-15N]-L-Trp-1 and [2′, 3′,4′,5′,6′-2H5]-L- Phl-16 into zervamicins IC, IIA and IIB on the preparative scale and without scrambling of the label. Thus, using the procedures described, isotopically labelled zervamicins can be prepared, allowing them to be studied by solid- state NMR.

    Notes: The conformational preferences of the methylenic sequence in the side chain of the glutamine residue were investigated by ab initio and semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations and examination of both the Brookhaven Protein Databank and Cambridge Structural Data Base. The results were analysed on the basis of our previous findings about the folding of methylene groups in aliphatic segments. Both energy calculations and the crystallographic structure of small peptides indicate that methylene units of the glutamine residue tend to fold in a gauche conformation. In contrast, such groups usually adopt an all-trans conformation in proteins due basically to the entropic and solvent contributions. These results have been demonstrated by computing the entropic correction to the free energy and evaluating the solvent effects through SCRF calculations

    Notes: Reduced dipeptides with the general formula RCO-Xaa- rXbb-N+HR′R′′ (rXbb, reduced analogue of residue Xbb: NH-Cα HR1 -Cr H2) are shown to adopt a folded conformation in solution and in the solid state. The protonated reduced amide bond is an active proton donor capable of interacting with a peptide carbonyl to give a strong hydrogen bond topologically equivalent to the i+2 or i+3⇒ i interaction. The resulting conformation is similar to the γ- or β-turn structure found in peptides and proteins.

    Notes: We have previously described the conditions by which peptide synthesis by the solid-phase fragment condensation approach can be carried out using crown ethers as non-covalent protection for the Nα -amino group. Here we demonstrate that the procedure can be extended to large, partially protected peptide fragments possessing free Lys and/or Arg residues. The first step was to ensure that complex formation on the side chain of amino acids was not detrimental to the methodology and exhibited the same solubility and coupling properties as Nα -complexed peptides. Thus, a model hexapeptide was synthesized using Fmoc chemistry containing Lys and Arg residues, which, when complexed with 18-Crown-6, was readily soluble in DCM and coupled quantitatively to a resin-bound tetrapeptide. Two tripeptides were then prepared, one containing a free Ser residue, the other free Tyr, to examine the possible occurrence of side reactions. After coupling using standard conditions only the former tripeptide exhibited the formation of the O-acylation by-product (5%). Another model hexapeptide containing Lys, Tyr, Ser and Asp protected with a TFA-stable adamantyl group was complexed with 18-Crown-6 and coupled to the resin-bound tetrapeptide with near quantative yield. Extending the length of the peptide to 21 and 40 residues, which represent sequences Gly52 to Leu72 (21-mer) and Pro33 to Leu72 (40-mer) from Rattus norvegicus chaperonin 10 protein, respectively, resulted in partially protected fragments that were readily soluble in water, thus enabling purification by RP-HPLC. Complexation with 18-Crown-6 gave two highly soluble products that coupled to resin-board tetramer with 68% and 50% coupling efficiencies for the 21-mer and 40-mer, respectively. Treatment with 1% DIEA solutions followed by acidolytic cleavage and purification of the major product confirmed that the correct product had been formed, when analysed by amino acid analysis and ESI-MS. These results served to extend the methodology of non-covalent protection of large partially protected peptide fragments for the stepwise fragment condensation of polypeptides.

    Notes: To obtain general rules of peptide design using α,β-dehydro-residues, a sequence with two consecutive ΔPhe-residues, Boc-L-Val-ΔPhe-ΔPhe- L-Ala-OCH3, was synthesized by azlactone method in solution phase. The peptide was crystallized from its solution in an acetone/water mixture (70:30) in space group P61 with a=b=14.912(3)  Å, c= 25.548(5)  Å, V=4912.0(6)  Å3. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined by a full matrix least-squares procedure to an R value of 0.079 for 2891 observed [I≥3σ(I)] reflections. The backbone torsion angles φ1=-54(1)°, ψ1= 129(1)°, ω1=-177(1)°, φ2 =57(1)°, ψ2=15(1)°, ω2 =-170(1)°, φ3=80(1)°, ψ3 =7(2)°, ω3=-177(1)°, φ4 =-108(1)° and ψT4=-34 (1)° suggest that the peptide adopts a folded conformation with two overlapping β-turns of types II and III′. These turns are stabilized by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the CO of the Boc group and the NH of ΔPhe3 and the CO of Val1 and the NH of Ala4. The torsion angles of ΔPhe2 and ΔPhe3 side chains are similar and indicate that the two ΔPhe residues are essentially planar. The folded molecules form head-to- tail intermolecular hydrogen bonds giving rise to continuous helical columns which run parallel to the c-axis. This structure established the formation of two β-turns of types II and III′ respectively for sequences containing two consecutive ΔPhe residues at (i+2) and (i+3) positions with a branched β-carbon residue at one end of the tetrapeptide.

    Notes: Summary A case of adrenoleukodystrophy was studied morphologically and biochemically. The patient was a 28-year-old man with no family history of adrenoleukodystrophy. His neurologic symptoms were cerebellar ataxia, spastic paraplegia, pseudo-bulbar palsy, and a minimal visual disturbance, with neither adrenal nor hypogonadal symptoms. The morphological and biochemical findings in this case are identical with those in typical adrenoleukodystrophy, but the topographical distribution of the lesions is distinctly different. The changes selectively affect the white matter in the cerebellum and brain stem in contrast to minimal involvement of the occipital white matter.

    Notes: Abstract Glucose is the main component of the cell wall of the yeast form of Taphrina deformans. On the other hand the glucosamine content is very low (less than 1%). Other sugars are mannose, galactose and rhamnose; their content depends on the age of the cultures. The protein content is less than 5% and lipids less than 2%. Most of the isolated cell wall is alkalisoluble: the insoluble fraction is less than 8% of the total wall. Three polysaccharides have been detected: an α-glucan containing mostly α(1→3) and perhaps a few α(1→4) glycosidic linkages, a β-glucan containing β(1→3) and β(1→6) linkages, and a heteropolysaccharide fraction containing mannose, galactose and rhamnose. Chitin, if present, forms no more than 2‰ of the total wall. The biochemical characteristics of the cell wall of the yeast form of T. deformans distinguish it from that of filamentous Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes and also of most of the yeasts. It is with the Schizosaccharomyces wall that they have the most features in common.

    Notes: Summary This study was aimed at investigating the relationships between marathon performance time (MPT) and a set of variables wider in scope than that used to date in similar studies. Sixteen marathon runners of varying abilities were examined for the following variables prior to the start of a marathon race: age, weight (wt); height (ht); triceps, abdominal and subscapular (SSF) skinfolds; % fat; rectal temperature; average weekly training distance over the preceding 2–3 months and over the preceding year (ATD); hematocrit; creatine phosphokinase (CPK); aldosterone and cortisol. MPT's ranged between 2; 15:21 and 4; 54:31 h. The coefficients of the simple linear correlations with MPT were: age, 0.70; wt·ht−2, 0.57; SSF, 0.67; % fat, 0.61; ATD, −0,64; CPK, 0.52 and cortisol, −0.41. In order of relative strength, CPK, age, ATD, SSF and cortisol were found by a multiple linear regression analysis to be the best predictors of MPT (R=0.99; p〈0.0001) — explaning 98% of its observed variance. The diversified approach may be supported by the high R value obtained. However, the significance of additional factors in determining MPT is expected and cannot be excluded.

    Notes: The naturally-occurring polyamines exist in the free form, as N-acetyl derivatives and bound to protein. Their biosynthesis is subject to sensitive control, particularly of ornithine decarboxylase. This enzyme may be multifunctional and a key regulatory protein. Studies, principally with selective inhibitors, have elucidated the roles of polyamines in cell proliferation. Oxidized polyamines, in contrast, can be potent mitotic inhibitors. These effects are reviewed in terms of their chemistry and biochemistry. Their principal distinctions are that they can be made or degraded intracellularly, they can associate electrostatically with macromolecules by means of their spaced cationic groups, and these can be readily converted to covalent bonds.

    Notes: Energetics and geometries for the hydrated gaseous halide anions have been computed from a simple model in which the molecular dipole of water was composed of two parts, one due to a lone pair on oxygen (60%) and the rest to formal charges on the nuclei. The calculations were made for both the symmetric and nonsymmetric structures. A variety of structures were used to compute potential energies and distances with up to six water molecules. The total energy consisted of a sum of electrostatic, polarization, dispersion, and repulsion terms. Various sets of repulsive potential parameters, ranging from those determined from molecular beam experiments to those determined using experimental ion-water distances or energies, have been employed to compute repulsive interaction energies. It was found that the range parameters play a significant role in deciding the magnitudes of the distances and energies, as the latter are most sensitive to them. It was also shown that with a simple correlation scheme the consistency of the experimental energies and distances can be tested separately without using repulsive potential parameters from other sources. It also suggests that a range of parameters can be used to compute repulsion energies. Despite the fact that the model is greatly simplified, the agreement of both the predicted ion-oxygen distances and energies with both experiment and other calculations is excellent. A detailed analysis of our calculation suggests that the negative ion clusters with one to three water molecules contain symmetric orientation of water molecules, while those with more than three may contain asymmetric orientations of water molecules or a mixture of both. From the log-log plots of hydration energies versus (R + radius of water molecule), we have proposed empirical expressions of the type ΔEn-1,n = 10·0x (R + 1.38)-y with both Pauling's and Ladd's radii for univalent ions with which stepwise hydration energies of the latter can be predicted if we know thier radii. The values predicted for the alkali cations are in excellent agreement with the experimental and theoretical values, indicating the consistency of the simple model.

    Notes: Ab initio SCF calculations of the equilibrium geometries have been carried out on nine possible isomers of MH2N2, where M = C or Si, and compared with the results of MNDO calculations. The results for the carbon compounds are in good agreement with available experimental data, but in the case of the silicon compounds, the molecules are predicted to be unstable with respect to decomposition to SiH2 and N2. The inclusion of electron correlation at the MP3 level does not alter the order of the relative stabilities, although the importance of the correlation contribution varies substantially between the different isomers.

    Notes: A computer-oriented algorithm is developed for enumerating and generating all rigorously planar benzenoid hydrocarbons. An additional algorithm is also developed for identification and enumeration of carcinogenic bay regions. The results are reported for undisrupted benzenoid structures up to ten fused rings. The reported numbers of isomeric benzenoids do not agree with the results in the literature, because other authors included in their considerations some polyhexes which are not strictly planar structures (e.g., helicenes) or which represent rings of hexagons (e.g., circulenes). The reported results for enumeration of bay regions fully agree with those of Balasubramanian et al.

    Notes: A low-cost microcomputer and package of assembly language routines has been developed to emulate the structure and performance of a large analog computer. The advantages of the analog computer, as implemented in this scheme, include (1) a significant reduction in the programming effort involved in modeling complex dynamic systems and (2) the control of the simulation and model parameters in a completely interactive and flexible manner. The symbolic nomenclature and schematic representations involving devices, such as integrators, comparators, multipliers, and function generators, offers a powerful alternative to the more conventional numerical methods, that is, to provide very simply the solutions to large systems of differential equations. This approach invariably leads the user to a more thorough understanding of the dynamic character of the system. The technique is illustrated using a chemical kinetics example involving the simulation of laser-induced fluorescence. The results of this work have provided an assessment of a systematic error that occurs when using induced resonance fluorescence to measure OH concentrations in the troposphere of the earth.

    Notes: Approximate minimum energy reaction paths have been calculated for two thioketone-enethiol tautomeric systems using an ab initio SCF-MO method. The calculations indicate nearly equal stabil ties of the isolated tautomers in both systems and an energy barrier of ca. 85 kcal/mol for their interconversion. This barrier is expected to be significantly lower in solution as a result of solvent-solute interactions.

    Notes: A relativistic effective core potential (REP) has been generated for the uranium atom and used in self-consistent-field calculations of the A states of UH, UF, and their ions. Energy curves were calculated at the base configuration level which ensures the dissociating atoms are described by Hartree-Fock wavefunctions. The electronic bonding of these molecules is found to be similar to that of comparable alkaline-earth hydrides and fluorides. The uranium 6p, 6d, and 5f orbitals retain their atomic character but the orbitals extend into the bonding region and are distorted by overlap repulsion and electrostatic effects. Nonetheless, the atomic energetic coupling determines that low energy states will have the maximum spin multiplicity and maximum orbital angular momentum projection consonant with the charge-transfer bonding.

Compact recurrence formulas for the integrals make the method particularly fitted to handle high-angular-momentum basis functions.

    Notes: The problem of the determination of the vibration-rotation eigenvalue in diatomic molecules is considered. An eigenvalue equation totally independent from the eigenfunction is written for any potential, analytical or numerical. This equation uses uniquely the vibration-rotation canonical functions; its resolution is reduced to that of a simple and classical numerical problem. Examples of numerical applications for analytical (Morse) and numerical potentials are presented. It is shown that the vibrational eigenvalues deduced from the eigenvalue equation are within 10-6 cm-1 of the exact values. Comparison with conventional methods are presented and discussed.

    Notes: Symmetry methods employed in the ab initio polyatomic program HONDO are extended to the coupled perturbed Hartree-Fock (CPHF) formalism, a key step in the analytical computation of energy first derivatives for configuration interaction (CI) wavefunctions, and energy second derivatives for Hartree-Fock (HF) wavefunctions. One possible computational strategy is to construct Fock-like matrices for each nuclear coordinate in which the one- and two-electron integrals of the usual Fock matrix are replaced by the integral first derivatives. “Skeleton” matrices are constructed from the unique blocks of electron-repulsion integral derivatives. The correct matrices are generated by applying a symmetrization operator. The analysis is valid for many wavefunctions, including closed- or open-shell spin-restricted and spin-unrestricted HF wavefunctions. To illustrate the method, we compare the computer time required for setting up the coupled perturbed HF equations for eclipsed ethane using D3h symmetry point group and various subgroups of D3h. Computational times are roughly inversely proportional to the order of the point group.

    Notes: Interchange and many-body perturbation theory are applied to the calculation of the radiative lifetime of the 3B1 state of SO2. The radiative lifetime of 3B1 SO2 is predicted to be 7.6 msec, in excellent agreement with the experimental collision-free phosphorescence lifetime. As a separate calculation, interchange perturbation theory is used to determine the radiative lifetime of the 1A1 state of CH2.

    Notes: The nearest-neighbor exclusion model for intercalation was studied using an energetical approach. It was shown that creation of the intercalation site in the exclusion model corresponds to the same energetical destabilization of the structure as in the standard model of intercalation. The stability of the intercalation complex formed in the case of the exclusion model is lower by 68 kcal/mol as compared with the standard model, but geometrical structures of both complexes are very similar. The electrostatic molecular potential method was also used to further characterize the intercalation site formed within both models of intercalation.

    Notes: The major relativistic effects are included into the model potential (MP) method of Bonifacic and Huzinaga. The effects are incorporated on the level of Cowan and Griffin's relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) method. The model potential parameters are determined using the results of nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock (NHF) and RHF calculations. A new scheme of selection of the basis functions for use in atomic and molecular MP calculations is proposed. To obtain agreement with the Hartree-Fock calculations on AgH and Ag2, the 4p shell has to be included explicitly in the MP calculations. The explicit treatment of the 4p electrons and the resulting reduction of the core size are necessary in order to overcome difficulties with approximate representation of the large 4p-4d core-valence interactions on the MP level.

    Notes: Parameters have been derived so as to enable the inclusion of deuterium in the MM2 molecular mechanics force field. Several compounds were studied and the results are compared with experiment. The results are never qualitatively wrong, but the accuracy ranges from excellent to only fair. They are quite good for hydrocarbons, but less so for ketones.

    Notes: The radical cations H3PPH3+⋅, H3PSH2+⋅, H3PClH+·, and HClClH+· have been studied by ab initio molecular-orbital theory. An increasing tendency to adopt trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) gemoetries is observed for the phosphorus radicals with sulfur and chlorine ligands. The three-electron bond dissociation energies are calculated to be between 7 and 31 kcal mol-1. The dependence of these bond energies on the ionization potentials for the neutral hydrides is illustrated, and the deformation of phosphorus σ* radicals towards TBP structures is discussed.

    Notes: As a model reaction for peptide and bond formation, the SN2 reactions between glycine and ammonia have been studied with and without amine catalysis: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$${\rm NH}_3 + {\rm NH}_2 {\rm CH}_2 {\rm COOH} + ({\rm NH}_3 ) \to {\rm NH}_2 {\rm CH}_2 {\rm CONH}_2 + {\rm H}_2 {\rm O} + ({\rm NH}_3 )$$\end{document} using ab initio molecular-orbital methods. For each of the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions, two reaction mechanisms have been examined: a two-step and a concerted mechanism. The stationary points of each reaction, including intermediate and transition states, have been identified and free energies calculated for all geometry-optimized reaction species to determine the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reaction. The calculations demonstrate that a second ammonia molecule catalyzes amide bond formation, and that the two-step mechanism is more favorable than the concerted one for the catalyzed reaction, while for the uncatalyzed reaction both mechanisms are competitive.

    Notes: Basis-set balance parameters, defined in terms of various projections of an abstract force vector in the space spanned by the logarithms of orbital exponents, are evaluated for a sample of 100 Gaussian basis sets. These basis sets are taken from a random Gaussian distribution of bases, centered on the best energy, fully variational uniform quality (UQ) atomic orbital (AO) basis sets. With each basis geometry optimization has been carried out for model molecule dimethyl sulfoxide, the wavefunction of which molecule is exceptionally sensitive to basis-set errors. Correlations between the balance of basis sets and calculated molecular properties are analyzed.

    Notes: Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to probe the effect of the substituent X on the structures, strain energies, stabilization energies, inversion barriers, and proton affinities of carbanions CH3CX CH3- and cis-C3H4X-, where X = H, F, CN, and NC. All geometries have been optimized with a 3-21G basis set, and the parent anions (X = H) were also optimized with the same basis set with a diffuse function added (i.e. the 3-21 + G basis set). The anions, with the exception of the α-cyanoisopropyl anion, are pyramidal. The out-of-plane angle, α, for the pyramidal anions decreases in the order F 〉 H ≈ NC 〉 CN, and the barriers to inversion follow the same order with the cyclopropyl anions consistently having higher barriers than the isopropyl anions. The substituents strongly stabilize the anions with the stabilization energy following the order CN 〉 NC 〉 F. The cyano group slightly reduces the strain energy of cyclopropane, but the isocyano and fluoro substituents are weakly and strongly destabilizing, respectively. The pyramidal cyclopropyl anions are less strained than the cyclopropanes except when the substituent is a cyano group where the strain energies are reversed but are very similar. The planar anions all have higher strain energies than the cyclopropanes.

    Notes: A very simple yet effective device for reducing the number of self-consistent-field (SCF) cycles in central finite-difference calculations of molecular properties is presented. The efficiency of this is demonstrated by MINDO/2 calculations of the force constants of a variety of molecules. The device consists of using information about the wavefunction at two values of a perturbation parameter to provide an estimate of the wavefunction at a third. This estimate is then used as an initial guess in an SCF procedure. The underlying theory is discussed and applications to other problems are suggested.

    Notes: An ab initio computation procedure to obtain electronic transition wave numbers in solution is presented and discussed. The continuum description of the bulk solvent is adopted, and solute-solvent interaction is reduced to a closed-form interaction operator added to the solute Hamiltonian. The resulting Schrödinger equations are solved variationally. No limitations are imposed on the shape of the solvent cavity or on the level of accuracy of the ab initio procedure.

    Notes: Proton affinities (PA) of 80 neutral bases were calculated using the semiempirical molecular orbital procedure MNDO. These were compared with the corresponding experimental and, where available, ab initio STO-3G and 4-31G data. For the 12 bases studied which led to ions which were not hyperconjugatively stabilized, the mean absolute error between the calculated and experimental values was 7.2 kcal mol-1. However, a plot of these data revealed a clear tendency of MNDO to underestimate the PAs of the more basic molecules. Where hyperconjugative stabilization of the ion was possible, the calculated PAS were underestimated by a further 7-10 kcal mol-1 for each attached alkyl group. Calculated and observed methyl-and ethyl-cation affinities were compared for 18 bases with qualitatively similar results.

    Notes: Koopmans' theorem ionization potentials have been calculated for a series of hydrides, methyls, and silyls HnX, (CH3)nX, and (SiH3)nX (X = F, Cl, n = 1; X = O, S, n = 2; X = N, P, n = 3), together with some mixed species (MH3)nXH3-n (X = N, P; M = C, Si) using ab initio SCF methods. The calculated values give excellent agreement with experimental values without the inclusion of d functions. For the chlorides, HCl, CH3Cl, and SiH3Cl, the values vary rather little over a wide range of basis sets, and are unaffected by the inclusion of d functions.

Test calculations performed on several closed- and open-shell systems show that the present procedure is definitely superior to the conventional SCF methods. In particular, the convergence of this procedure is ensured, the rate of convergency is high, and the computational cost of each cycle is low.

    Notes: MNDO has been extended to sulfur, but without inclusion of 3d AOs. Calculations are reported for heats of formation, geometries, dipole moments, and ionization energies of a variety of sulfur-containing molecules. The average discrepancy between calculated and observed heats of formation is larger than for compounds of other elements, a difference probably due, at least partly, to the lower accuracy of the thermochemical data for sulfur compounds. The calculated dipole moments agree well with experiment as do the calculated ionization energies, except for those corresponding to ionization from sulfur “lone-pair” orbitals which are too high by ca. 1 eV, probably as a result of the neglect in NDDO of interactions between inner and valence shell orbitals. As in the case of other third-period elements, the calculated heats of formation of compounds of sulfur in its higher valence states (SIV, SVI) were too positive by large amounts, due presumably to the neglect of 3d AOs.

    Notes: Derivatives, with respect to the symmetry coordinates, of the components of the dipole polarizabilities of HF, H2O, and CH4 are calculated using the Kirkwood method and a generalization of that method. The results for the bond-stretching derivatives are in reasonable agreement with those found by finite field calculations; those for angle changes are of the correct sign, but their magnitudes are in poor agreement with the finite field ones. The results are also analyzed using a four-parameter bond polarizability model.
