    Notes: Abstract To investigate the mechanism of synovial pannus formation in rheumatoid arthritis, immunohistochemical and immunoelectron microscopic studies with monoclonal antibodies against the adhesion molecules, CD54 (ICAM-1), CD 11a (LFA-1), CDw49a (VLA-1), CDw49b (VLA-2), CDw49c (VLA-3), Cdw49d (VLA-4) and CDw49e (VLA-5), were carried out to determine the pattern of distribution of these molecules at the rheumatoid synovial cartilage junction. Treatment with anti-ICAM-1 resulted in membrane staining of most of the macrophages and fibroblasts infiltrating the synovial tissue and bordering the pannus-cartilage junction, suggesting the possibility that ICAM-1 may function to facilitate the adhesion of synovial type A cells bearing ICAM-1 to type B cells of the pannus. ICAM-1-positive macrophages and fibroblasts were often found to be in contact with lymphoid cells, suggesting also that a cellular immune reaction occurs in the formation of the pannus. In addition, VLA-3, VLA-4 and, particularly, VLA-5 were the predominantβ1 integrins expressed by rheumatoid synovial pannus. Since these three integrins all function as fibronectin receptors, it is possible that the fibronectin-rich environment of the rheumatoid cartilage surface effectively traps pannus cells expressing high levels of these molecules. The VLA-5 molecule was found in a pericellular and interterritorial matrix distribution in the present study, strongly suggesting that a recepfor-ligand interaction between VLA-5 and cartilage matrix may occur at the early stage of pannus formation. Furthermore, an increase inβ1 integrin may be necessary for the growth of the pannus and also for the upregulation of the VLA molecules, leading secondarily to increased attachment.

    Notes: Abstract A case of cervical juxtamedullary meningeal melanocytoma is presented along with results of careful neuroradiological and pathological examinations. The authors review the previous literature and discuss the problems related to the intriguing diagnosis of this very rare entity. CT and MRI show variable appearances due to different degrees of melanization and do not reliably allow us to distinguish meningeal melanocytomas from other pigmented tumors. Pathological examination of the tumor is critical for diagnosis, but is absolutely must comprise electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural criteria are thus proposed to distinguish meningeal melanocytoma from pigmented meningioma or schwannoma and malignant melanoma (primary or secondary).

    Description / Table of Contents: Anteroposterior and tangential traction on the central retina is an important factor in the pathogenesis of idiopathic macular hole formation. Histological studies have shown that macular holes of different stages can be associated with epiretinal membranes. Such membranes can be removed during surgery for macular holes. We investigated such tissue samples of 11 patients with macular holes in stages II – IV. Light microscopially, the tissue consisted of a thin collagen layer mostly covered by a thin layer of cells. Ultrastructural analysis revealed glial cells and macrophages as cellular components. The collagen can be ascribed to vitreous, inner limiting membrane and newly formed collagen. According to the morphological findings a multilayered tissue structure can be assumed. Macrophages were found on the retinal side of the inner limiting membrane and at the vitreal side of the tissue. Therefore, the macrophages probably originate from the retina as well as from the vitreous as so-called resident hyalocytes. Glial cells covered the inner limiting membrane forming pericellular collagen to which outer vitreous collagen fibrils can be attached. The multilayered membrane structure might possibly be the cause for only partial laminar surgical extraction so that contractile or potentially proliferative tissue residues might be one of the reasons for surgical failures after incomplete membrane peeling.
    Notes: A.-p. und tangentiale Traktionen an der zentralen Netzhaut spielen für die Entstehung idiopathischer Makulaforamina eine wichtige Rolle. Durch histologische Untersuchungen ließen sich bei Makulaforamina unterschiedlicher Stadien epiretinale Membranen nachweisen, die für die tangentiale Traktion auf die Foramenränder verantwortlich gemacht werden. Von 11 Patienten konnten wir derartige, von uns chirurgisch entfernte Membranen licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersuchen. Die Membanen bestehen lichtmikroskopisch aus einem azellulären Kollagenband mit einem schmalen, teilweise nur einschichtigen Zellbesatz. Elektronenmikroskopisch lassen sich als zelluläre Komponenten Gliazellen und Makrophagen differenzieren. Die Kollagenanteile sind Glaskörperkollagen, neugebildetem Kollagen und der Lamina limitans interna zuzuordnen. Aus den Befunden läßt sich eine Schichtung der Membranen rekonstruieren mit sublaminären Makrophagen, der Lamina limitans interna und epilaminären Gliazellen und vereinzelten Makrophagen, die am ehesten residenten Hyalozyten entsprechen. Auf der vitrealen Seite können auch Verbindungen der Membran zum äußeren Glaskörperkollagen bestehen. Die Membranen zeigen Charakteristika, die in ihrem Aufbau epiretinalen Proliferationsmembranen entsprechen. Die topographische Schichtung der Membranen könnte zur Folge haben, daß chirurgisch teilweise nur Lamellen und nicht die gesamte Membran abgeschält werden. Kontraktions- oder auch proliferationsfähige Membranreste können dann einer der Faktoren für operative Mißerfolge sein.

    Notes: Abstract  Migration of particulate matter from plastic tubing and solid plastic implants has been documented in a number of studies, including some with the use of cardiac bypass, haemodialysis, and pump-assisted intravenous infusions. In order to ascertain whether silicone embolisation occurs when children have an Ivac 560 pump-assisted IV infusion, we passed 180 ml of pumped fluid through a microfilter and compared the scanning electron micrographs of those filters with unused filters and with others through which a similar volume had been passed without using the pump. The particles on the filters were analysed for their elemental content using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. In addition, the appearance of the silicone tubing used in the pump over 3 and 72 h was assessed and compared to that of flow-only and unused tubing. More particles were found on the microfilter when fluid had been delivered via the pump than on those through which non-pumped fluid had passed or that were unused. Elemental silicon-containing particles were only found on the filter when a pump had been attached to the IV line. The flow-only and unused tubing were found to have adherent particles on the inner surface that were not seen once the tubing had been used for 3 h in the Ivac 560 pump. Also, after 72 h use, the silicone tubing had a deformed inner layer. The clinical significance of these findings is yet to be determined, but it does appear that silicone embolisation occurs during pump-assisted infusions in children.

    Notes: Abstract Papillary adenoma of type II pneumocytes is a rare tumour. It is considered to be a benign neoplasm and is derived from immature cells in the bronchioloalveolar epithelium, however, its biological nature has not been elucidated. We report a case of an adenomatous tumour; a papillary adenoma of type II pneumocytes, which we regard as possessing malignant potential. Light microscopically, as well circumscribed, papillary tumour of predominantly cuboidal cells resembling type II pneumocytes was found, but Clara type and ciliated cells were also present. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells reacted positively with antibodies to surfactant apoproteins (A, B), carcinoembryonic antigen, cytochrome P-450 1A1-2 and 2B1-2. Ultrastructurally, many osmiophilic lamellar bodies and electron-dense granules were demonstrated. Semi-serial sections revealed signs of transbronchial dissemination and vascular invasion. Morphometry using 12-dimensional cluster analysis disclosed features of the tumour cells which resembled those of pneumocyte type II adenocarcinoma. These findings suggest that the present case has some malignant characteristics and originates from immature bronchiolar or alveolar cells, with a potential to develop into both type II pneumocyte and Clara cell type adenocarcinomas.

    Notes: Abstract This study describes ultrastructural alterations of the interstitial stroma in the rat bladder epithelium during N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN)-induced bladder carcinogenesis using scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy with NaOH treatment. The results obtained with SEM demonstrated the occurrence and development of stroma protrusions which exhibited pipe-like structures in the rat bladder epithelium following administration of BBN. Number and size of blood vessel sections also gradually increased both in the stroma and within the layer of the proliferated epithelial cells as examined by light microscopy (LM) and TEM. In this study stroma alterations were not only observed in malignant lesions of rat bladder, but hyperplastic lesions were also accompanied by stroma alterations. It is suggested that: (1) the interstitial stroma of the rat bladder epithelium may exhibit pathological changes in structure and these changes may correlate with the progression of epithelial cell proliferation following administration of BBN and (2) one of the most important alterations in the stroma is the occurrence of neovascularization, which may induce structural modification of the stroma in the processes of bladder tumor growth and development.

    Notes: Abstract Rat neonate vomeronasal organs were transplanted into the parietal cortex of littermates to examine their survival and the behavior of axon growth into the surrounding host brain parenchyma. After survival times of 10–100 days the brains were processed for ultrastructural examination. The transplanted vomeronasal organs (VNO) formed several vesicles lined with a sensory epithelium. From these sensory epithelia, VNO neurons leave the epithelium and enter the host brain. Transplant neurons grew axons that fasciculated into bundles surrounded by sheath cell processes and formed one or more fiber plexuses containing distinct globose or spherical-shaped glomeralar-like structures. The glomeruli consisted of nerve terminals between which existed asymmetric synaptic contacts. Rarely did we observe clear reciprocal synapses. The glomeruli also contained terminals that showed signs of degeneration, such as increased density of the terminals, clumping of mitochondria and multivesicular bodies. The glomeruli were not partitioned or subdivided by glial septa; however, glial profiles were interspersed among the sensory terminals. Transplant glomeruli also lacked periglomerular cells and had no definitive glial envelope. These results suggest that glomerular formation is not dependent on dendrite contribution of second order neurons or glial support, but rather on a complementary population of receptor neurons.

    Notes: Abstract Electron microscopy has been employed to analyze the normal maturationai sequence that characterizes the postnatal development of synaptic circuits in the ventrobasal (VB) and reticular (Rt) thalamic nuclei of rats at different ages (from birth to the end of the third postnatal week). Throughout the first postnatal week, similar signs of immaturity are observed in both nuclei, mainly consisting in scarcity of cytoplasmic organelles, presence of wide extracellular spaces, and absence of myelinated fibers. Several synaptic terminals are however present from birth, thus indicating that some of the afferents have already reached and contacted their thalamic target during embryonic life. Most of the terminals are small and contain only a few round, clear vesicles, and therefore their cytological features do not allow the identification of their origin. In particular, in both nuclei, terminals with flat vesicles and symmetric specialization are only rarely observed, and in VB the ascending terminals are not distinguishable from terminals of other sources as they are in adults. During the second postnatal week, progressive maturationai changes in VB and Rt lead to neurons having well-developed cytoplasmic organelles and to an elaborate neuropil containing myelinated fibers and synaptic terminals that are morphologically heterogeneous and resemble the adult ones. The permanence of growth cone-like profiles and of numerous somatic and dendritic protrusions, often contacted by synaptic terminals, indicates that a certain degree of reorganization is still taking place in both nuclei. By the end of the third postnatal week the synaptic organization of VB and Rt is indistinguishable from that observed in adults. This ultrastructural study shows that the appearance of the neuropil of VB and Rt and the morphological complexity of the synaptic arrangements characteristic of the adult rat are not present in neonates, but are gradually acquired during the first three postnatal weeks, and that they result from progressive modifications in circuit organization involving both pre- and postsynaptic elements.

    Notes: Abstract A light and electron microscopic study of the brain of an 18-week fetus with a prenatal genetic diagnosis of Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy revealed a widespread mantle of abnormal neurogliomesenchymal tissue that covered a dysplastic cerebral cortex. In this area alone, the glia limitans that adjoined the abnormal mantle via one or two layers of basal lamina had frequent breaches, through which neuroglial elements extruded. In the most severely affected cortical region, which had only a rudimentary and fragmentary glia limitans, the majority of cortical neurons had migrated into the neurogliomesenchymal tissue. The massive overmigrated neurons still maintained a somewhat columnar arrangement, and the marked dysplasia abruptly shifted to a neurogliomesenchymal tissue-free normal cortical structure with an intact glia limitans, thus indicating essentially vertical overmigration of neurons without significant tangential migration of them. Together the above findings imply that breaches in the glia limitans may be the primary cause of the micropolygyria seen in this genetic disorder.

    Notes: Abstract We have identified two central neurocytomas which contained cells co-expressing glial fibrillary acidic protein and synaptophysin defined by double-label immunostaining. Dual-positive cells were mostly polygonal in shape and with a morphological appearence similar to that of reactive astrocytes. This distinct morphology could be used to distinguish cells expressing glial fibrillary acidic protein from cells with round and clear cytoplasm which did not express glial fibrillary acidic protein and which composed the majority of the tumor. Samples containing polygonal cells were selected for electron microscopy from toluidine blue-stained semithin sections. Ultrastructural findings were similar in both neurocytomas, with both being composed predominantly of round cells with clear cytoplasm corresponding to the clear cells identified by light microscopy. Dense-core vesicles and clear vesicles were frequently observed in the cell processes. Apart from these clear cells, polygonal cells with electron-dense cytoplasm were noted. Paralleling the results of double immunostaining, these polygonal cells contained both dense-core vesicles and intermediate, presumably glial filaments. Microtubules and lipofuscin granules were also observed. These results suggest that cells expressing glial fibrillary acidic protein in central neurocytoma include tumor cells with both neuronal and glial characteristics.

    Notes: Abstract The origin and differentiation of the oxyntic cell lineage during physiological cell renewal was investigated by light and electron microscopy in the abomasal mucosa of adult cattle. The morphologically heterogeneous oxyntic cell population exhibits various developmental subtypes depending on the position within the oxyntic unit. Pre-oxyntic cells of the isthmus and neck represent the immature precursors. Though heterogeneous with respect to the degree of canalicular and tubulovesicular membrane development, they all contain secretory granules resembling those of either isthmus cells, immature surface mucous cells, neck cells or young chief cells. A secretory granule-free stem cell is not present in the bovine. Downward to the gland base genesis of canalicular as well as tubulovesicular membranes is gradually completed; thus pre-oxyntic cells give rise to mature oxyntic cells. Older degenerative oxyntic cells, primarily located within the gland bottom, are characterized by progressive involution of canalicular and tubulovesicular membranes. Towards the pit, differentiation of pre-oxyntic cells is associated with atypical and incomplete development of canaliculi and tubulovesicles. In consequence, these superficial oxyntic cells have a reduced secretory capacity from a morphological point of view.

    Notes: Abstract Hemidesmosomes are junctional complexes involved in the attachment of epidermal basal keratinocytes to the basement membrane. To try to understand better the sequence of events in the morphogenesis of hemidesmosomes, we undertook an ultrastructural analysis of hemidesmosome formation in fetal and neonatal digit skin. Hemidesmosomes, defined as membrane-associated densities or plaques, were counted and scored for three morphological characteristics: (1) the presence of a sub-basal dense plate, (2) association with anchoring filaments within the lamina lucida and (3) contacts with intermediate filaments. No hemidesmosomes were evident at 7 weeks’ gestational age. Between 9 and 15 weeks the number of hemidesmosomes increased by about fourfold (from 20.6 ± 3.8 (SD) to 95.5 ± 8.4 per 40 μm of basal cell plasma membrane; P 〈 0.01). The association of hemidesmosomes with intermediate filaments and anchoring filaments also increased after 15 weeks ( P 〈 0.05). Early attachment plaques first appeared as triangular focal densities on the basal plasma membrane with the appearance of sub-basal dense plates, which later became both larger and more electron dense. By 15 weeks, an inner plaque could be distinguished from the outer plaque, which coincided with a closer association with intermediate filaments. Hemidesmosomes appeared fully developed by 15 weeks’ gestation. This study illustrates the structural relationship of hemidesmosomes to both intra- and extracellular filaments, suggesting close functional interactions. The complexity of the hemidesmosome plaque is also revealed early during development.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) is a rare dermatosis of unknown aetiology. Recent electron microscopic studies suggest that CRP is a disorder of keratinisation. In our case we could not confirm the previously reported ultrastructural findings. CRP is generally resistant to therapy. We treated a 19-year-old patient with typical CRP with oral minocycline. Within a few weeks the eruption resolved completely. A mild relapse 7 months later responded promptly to a repeated course of minocycline. Twelve months after discontinuatin of therapy there is no evidence of recurrence. In CRP minocycline should be preferred to systemic retinoid therapy because of its minor side effects.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Papillomatosis confluens et reticularis (PCR) ist eine seltene Erkrankung unklarer Ätiopathogenese. Neuere elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen stützen die Vermutung, daß eine Keratinisierungsstörung vorliegt. Anhand unseres Falles konnten wir diese Befunde allerdings nicht bestätigen. Die PCR ist ausgesprochen therapieresistent. Wir behandelten einen 19jährigen Patienten mit klinisch und histologisch typischer PCR systemisch mit Minocyclin. Innerhalb weniger Wochen heilten die Effloreszenzen vollständig ab. Ein 7 Monate später auftretendes leichtes Rezidiv konnte durch einen zweiten Behandlungszyklus schnell und erfolgreich behandelt werden. Der Patient ist jetzt bereits 12 Monate nach Absetzen der Therapie erscheinungsfrei. Zur Behandlung der PCR sollte Minocyclin wegen seiner geringeren Nebenwirkungen systemischen Retinoiden vorgezogen werden.

    Notes: Abstract Specimens of human cerebral neocortex were obtained during neurosurgical operations and studied by immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy, using antibodies to the glutamate receptor subunit GluR1 and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Many GluR1-positive pyramidal neurons and fewer GluR1-positive nonpyramidal neurons were present in the cortex. Non-pyramidal neurons were more heavily labelled for GluR1 than pyramidal neurons. Most GABAergic neurons were labelled for GluR1. The white matter was unstained, except for occasional labelled neurons. This pattern of GluR1 immunostaining is similar to that in rat cerebral cortex, but is different from that in the hippocampus and amygdala, where large numbers of pyramidal or projection neurons, but few non-pyramidal or GABAergic neurons, were labelled for GluR1.

    Notes: Abstract The distribution of the [3H]alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxzalepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit GluR4 was studied in frontal, parietal and temporal cerebral cortex, subcortical white matter and corpus callosum of neonatal, immature and mature rats. In 1-to 2-day-old rats, a few oligodendrocyte progenitors and amoeboid microglia in the supraventricular part of the corpus callosum were immunolabelled for GluR4. At 7 to 10 days, the number of amoeboid microglia and oligodendrocyte progenitors in white matter increased; many neurons in cortex, including pyramidal neurons, were also moderately labelled for GluR4. The pattern of GluR4 immunostaining in 14-day-old rats was different from that in 7-to 10-day-old rats, but similar to the adult, in that there was no immunoreactivity in microglia and oligodendrocyte progenitors in subcortical white matter. A proportion of non-pyramidal neurons in cortex were moderately labelled, while some pyramidal neurons were lightly labelled. A population of small glial cells with features of oligodendrocyte progenitors were densely labelled in cortex.

    Notes: Abstract Three children from two German families are described and the observations compared with the previously published three families comprising eight patients. The two index cases presented with morning fatigue, had ketotic hypoglycaemia when fasting which rapidly disappeared after eating, and hepatic glycogen deficiency and absent or very low hepatic glycogen synthase activity. Metabolic profiles comprising glucose, lactate, alanine, and ketones in blood were typical for hepatic glycogen synthase deficiency. Symptoms were rapidly relieved and chemical signs corrected by introducing frequent protein-rich meals and night-time feedings of suspensions of uncooked corn (maize) starch. The discovery of oligosymptomatic and asymptomatic siblings suggests that there are more persons with undiagnosed hepatic glycogen synthase deficiency. Conclusion Liver glycogen synthase deficiency is likely to be more common than is believed today. It should be sought in children who, before the first meal of the day, present with drowsiness, lack of attention, pallor, uncoordinated eye movements, disorientation or convulsions and who have hypoglycaemia and acetone in urine.

    Bimodal solubilization of phospholipid-cholesterol vesicles in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) solutions. Formation of filamentous and helical microstructures depends on negatively charged lipids (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Phospholipid/cholesterol vesicles were solu-bilized by 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). Above 30 mol% cholesterol (Ch) in the lipid vesicles several remarkable changes of the solubilization process were observed. (i) Two modes of solubilization: The effective detergent to lipid ratio Rc(M) for the formation of mixed micelles decreased from Rc(M) = 43 ± 3 at low lipid concentrations, [L]≤ 0.15 mm, to Rc(M) = 2.4 ± 0.3 above [L] = 0.5 mm (40 mol% Ch, T = 20 °C). (ii) At subsolubilizing CHAPS concentrations, filamentous and helical microstructures were formed, similar to those which were observed in native and model bile. (iii) The number of observed fibers was about two orders of magnitude higher in the presence of the negatively charged lipids phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) compared to the zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC). Fiber formation began after 16–18 h using PG and PA compared to 3–4 days in the presence of PC. Screening of the charged lipids by NaCl effectively reduced the formation of fibers. Assuming binding of Na+ to the charged lipid aggregates, an intrinsic binding constant Kint = 0.6 M–1 was determined by applying the Gouy-Chapman theory. After the addition of CHAPS to PG/Ch vesicles, a fast initial solubilization of the vesicles (〈1 min) to mixed micelles (rh = 2.3 ± 0.2 nm) and small vesicles (rh = 23 ± 1 nm) was observed, followed by an intermediate period of 2 h, after which the formation of fibers occurred (〉15 h). The microstructures are visualized by darkfield and electron microscopy. The method of vesicle solubilization is compared to the dilution of concentrated micellar solutions, which is usually applied to model bile systems.

    Notes: Abstract Rice seedlings developed nodule-like tumors (para-nodules) along primary and secondary roots when treated with the auxin 2,4-dichlor-phenoxy-acetic acid (2,4-D). Histologically, these tumors appeared as cancerous out-grown lateral-root primordes and were thus comparable with stem nodules of the legume Sesbania rostrata. Azorhizobium caulinodans (a diazotroph known as a specific endophyte of Sesbania rostrata) was introduced and became established inside rice para-nodules and in root tissues around tumor bases. The infection with A. caulinodans followed a typical “crack-entry” invasion at places where para-nodule tumors had emerged through the root cortex and epidermis. The bacteria settled with high cell densities in intercellular spaces of the induced tumors and betwen root cortical cells. Infection of plant cells took place both in the epidermis and in cortical tissue. Intracellularly established A. caulinodans was found inside the cytoplasm, surrounded by membrane-like structures. N2 fixation by tumor-inhabiting Azorhizobium sp. was increased at low O2 tensions (1.5–3 kPa) compared with an untreated control. Only a little activity remained at O2 tensions of 5 kPa and above. The present results confirm that root-tumor induction offers a suitable method of establishing diazotrophs endophytically in the roots of gramineous crops.

    Notes: Abstract Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is clinically characterized by symmetrical shortening of the proximal limbs, contractures of joints, a characteristic dysmorphic face, and cataracts. In the classical form an impairment of several peroxisomal functions and enzymes (plasmalogen synthesis, phytanic acid oxidation, 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase) has been repeatedly shown. Recently a variant involving only the peroxisomal dihydroxyacetonephosphate acyltransferase (DHAP-AT) has been described. We present a patient with isolated DHAP-AT deficiency and all clinical, radiological, and pathological features of classical RCDP. For the first time, microscopy and immunocytochemistry of hepatocytes could be performed. Conclusion In contrast to studies on classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata which have shown enlarged peroxisomes in numbers varying from hepatocyte to hepatocyte, the peroxisomes in our patient seem to be normal in size, number and shape.

    Notes: Abstract The fine structure of the cell surface of seven enterotoxemic Escherichia coli (ETEEC) O139:K12 strains isolated from piglets with edema disease were examined electron microscopically using both the negative-staining method and the freeze-substitution fixation method. Densely packed, fine fibers were observed; they consisted of a capsule layer approximately 25 nm thick around the cell surfaces of strains 107/86, IW-2, ED-3, ED-43, and ED-61, all of which have a capacity to adhere strongly to HEp-2 cells. In contrast, no such structure was observed on the surface of strains RK-O139 or ED-1, both of which adhere only weakly to HEp-2 cells. These results suggest that the capsule structure might be associated with the ability to adhere to HEp-2 cells and, as a result, also potentially play some role in ETEEC infection.

    Notes: Abstract This review covers the recent progress in the elucidation of the structure of photosystem II (PSII). Because much of the structural information for this membrane protein complex has been revealed by electron microscopy (EM), the review will also consider the specific technical and interpretation problems that arise with EM where they are of particular relevance to the structural data. Most recent reviews of photosystem II structure have concentrated on molecular studies of the PSII genes and on the likely roles of the subunits that they encode or they were mainly concerned with the biophysical data and fast absorption spectroscopy largely relating to electron transfer in various purified PSII preparations. In this review, we will focus on the approaches to the three-dimensional architecture of the complex and the lipid bilayer in which it is located (the thylakoid membrane) with special emphasis placed upon electron microscopical studies of PSII-containing thylakoid membranes. There are a few reports of 3D crystals of PSII and of associated X-ray diffraction measurements and although little structural information has so far been obtained from such studies (because of the lack of 3D crystals of sufficient quality), the prospects for such studies are also assessed.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma which contained a large number of pleomorphic inclusions with fibrillary internal structures and mature zymogen granules. To clarify the significance of fibrillary inclusions in the differentiation of acinar cells of the pancreas, we further investigated fetal pancreases (gestational weeks 16, 17, 19, 20 and 28). We found two types of inclusions: type A, corresponding to fibrillary inclusion of neoplastic acinar cells, was observed only in a 19-week fetus; type B showed a homogeneous density similar to that of zymogen granules. Type B was observed in all the fetuses after the 17th gestational week. Although the type A inclusion might be generated throught a different mechanism than the type B inclusion, the appearance of a large number of fibrillary inclusions in neoplastic acinar cells may represent a transient form of zymogen granule.

We describe the electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and DNA flow cytometry in a case of alveolar adenoma in a 55-year-old woman. Alveolar adenoma appears to be a distinct benign neoplasm of the alveolar structures. Our findings further suggest that it is not a precursor of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma or other type II pneumocyte lesions of presumed malignant potential.

    Notes: Abstract. Desmin protein is an abundant constituent of the intermediate filaments in the electrocytes of the electric organ of the electric eel Electrophorus electricus. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against purified desmin from the electric organ and used for immunolabeling of the protein in reconstituted filaments. In thick sections of the main electric organ that has been stained with fluorescein-labeled desmin-specific antibodies, light microscope revealed a diffuse meshwork of desmin filaments dispersed in the cytoplasm of electrocytes. In the region under the membrane, the immunostaining was slightly more intense than elsewhere. The meshwork of intermediate filaments composed of desmin was examined by electron microscopy of the main electric organ. Immuno-gold labeling demonstrated a widespread meshwork of desmin filaments in the cytoplasm and in close association with the plasma membrane. These observations suggest that intermediate filaments play a role in the maintenance of the morphology of electrocytes and, as an intracellular meshwork spanning the width of the cell, they may contribute to the organization of the intracellular compartments.

    Notes: Abstract. The nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactivity and NADPH-diaphorase activity of intracardiac neurones in the rat and guinea-pig was studied at the ultrastructural level. While some nitric oxide synthase-containing intracardiac neurones were very heavily labelled, with electron-dense immunoprecipitate distributed throughout the neuronal cell bodies and their processes, most of the labelled neurones exhibited a lighter and more patchy distribution of nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive material. Synapses made by nitric oxide synthase-negative nerve fibres with labelled intracardiac neurones were seen. Conversely, many nitric oxide synthase-containing nerve fibres that made synaptic contacts with unlabelled intracardiac neurones were also observed. Some small granule-containing cells were nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive and were associated with unlabelled nerve terminals, while non-immunoreactive small granule-containing cells that were innervated by nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive nerves were also seen. Small patches of osmiophilic electron-dense material were observed in the cytoplasm of NADPH-diaphorase-positive intracardiac neurones. This is the first description of the ultrastructural distribution of nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactivity and NADPH-diaphorase activity in a subpopulation of intracardiac neurones of rat and guinea-pig heart and provides further evidence in support of a role for nitric oxide in the local control of the heart by intrinsic neurones.

    Notes: Abstract. We studied the structure of ocellar photoreceptor cells of Drosophila melanogaster, particularly the subrhabdomeric cisternae which our previous studies have shown to be essential structures for turnover of photoreceptive membranes in compound eyes. Each ocellus contained elongated photoreceptor cells with rhabdomeres positioned distally. In the subrhabdomeric regions, endocytotic invaginations were frequently observed, suggesting active turnover of photoreceptive membranes. In the vicinity of the photoreceptive microvilli, membranous structures similar to the subrhabdomeric cisternae in compound eyes were observed. These membranous structures were immunopositive for the rdgB protein, a phosphatidylinositol transfer protein that is localized to the subrhabdomeric cisternae in compound eyes. The ocellar photoreceptor cells of the retinal degeneration mutants (rdgA,B) were also studied. In these mutants, retinal degeneration has been reported to start, in compound eyes, with the disappearance of the subrhabdomeric cisternae. We found that the ocellar subrhabdomeric cisternae also disappear during the initial stage of retinal degeneration. From these observations, we conclude that the mechanism of photoreceptive membrane turnover in ocellar photoreceptor cells involves the rdgB and probably the rdgA proteins which are associated with subrhabdomeric cisternae, as is the case for photoreceptive membrane turnover in compound eyes.

    Notes: Abstract. More than 50 chordotonal sensilla, or scolopidia, embedded entirely in the integument were found in each side of the genital chamber wall in the female cricket, Teleogryllus commodus. Their cell bodies lie among the epidermal cells, and the tips of their dendrites terminate in the cuticle. About half of them contain two sensory cells (two-cell scolopidium), the others only one (one-cell scolopidium). The sensory cell in the one-cell scolopidium is the type-1 cell. In the two-cell scolopidium one is type-1 and the other type-2. Regardless of the number of sensory cells, they are all amphinematic. In the two-cell scolopidium only the type-2 dendrite, rich in microtubules, penetrates into the cuticle, bifurcates and terminates in the tube enclosed by an attachment cell; the type-1 never extends into the cuticle. On the other hand, the type-1 cell in the one-cell scolopidium projects its apex into the cuticle. The unique topography and structure of these scolopidia lead to the following hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship between the scolopidia and other kinds of sensilla: the type-1 scolopidial sensory cell buried in the integument may be the original model, which through the loss of the long regular axoneme has given rise to type-2 cells. Modification of the apical region, the tubular body or ramification, may have lead to the cuticular sensilla corresponding to the development of the cuticular apparatus, and the scolopidia may have been withdrawn into the body cavity to form ordinary chordotonal organs.

    Notes: Abstract In order to study morphological effects on the nasal and sinus mucosa, New Zealand White rabbits underwent either unselective, regional sectioning of sensory and parasympathetic nerve branches or topical treatment of the mucosa with capsaicin. Ten days after treatment, mucosal specimens were analyzed by light and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate neuropeptides present, in particular substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and neuropeptide Y. In surgically denervated rabbits, mucosal glands were found to be enlarged and contained an increased number of zymogen granules having a bipartite substructure. Topical capsaicin application caused localized epithelial changes in the sinus mucosa and maxilloturbinal region of the nose, including clotting of cilia and an increased number of goblet cells. Reduced amounts of all neuropeptides investigated were found in the surgically denervated animals, while topical capsaicin treatment had only marginal effects on the mucosal neuropeptide content. The morphological changes observed after surgical denervation suggest an imbalance between neural stimulation and secretory capacity of the mucosal glands. These findings could explain the difference in clinical effect noted between sectioning of the vidian nerve and topical treatment with capsaicin in patients with perennial rhinitis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Neuartige Fluoropolyether-Polyol-Harze, die mit konventionellen Härtern wie Polyisocyanaten oder Melaminen aushärtbar sind, wurden hergestellt. Zunächst wurden oligomere NCO-terminierte Prepolymere durch Addition von Fluorpolyether-Makrodiolen unterschiedlicher Molekulargewichte an Isophorondiisocyanate erhalten. Durch die Reaktion dieser Prepolymeren mit Trimethylolpropan wurden endständige Hydroxygruppen eingeführt. Die Viskosität von Lösungen dieser Harze wurde bei unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen (Massenbruch 0,4-0,8) und Temperaturen (25°C-65°C) gemessen. Die erhaltenen Werte wurden auf der Basis der Erickson-Gleichung (Konzentrationsabhängigkeit von η) und unter Berücksichtigung des WLF-und des Arrhenius-Modells (Temperaturabhängigkeit von η) diskutiert. Das thermische Verhalten der Harze und von ausgehärteten Filmen wurde mit DSC bestimmt. Dabei wurden zwei Glasübergange beobachtet, die den separierten fluorhaltigen und nicht-fluorhaltigen Phasen zugeordnet werden können. Die Analyse des Zugverhaltens der Filme zeigte besonders bei den mit Isocyanat gehärteten Proben ein ausgeprägtes hart-plastisches Verhalten. Diese Werkstoffe erscheinen für die Anwendung als hoch-wertige, dauerfeste und klare Beschichtungen geeignet.
    Notes: New fluoropolyether polyolic resins are presented suitable to be cured with conventional hardeners as polyisocyanates or melamines. These resins are prepared by addition of fluoropolyether macrodiols (Fomblin® ZDOLTX) of various molecular weights to isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to give oligomeric NCO-terminated prepolymers. The final hydroxy functionality is obtained by the reaction of those prepolymers with trimethylolpropane (TMP). The viscosity of the resins is measured at various concentrations (weight fraction 0.8 - 0.4) and temperatures (T = 25-65°C). The results are discussed in terms of the Erickson equation (η vs. concentration) and using the WLF and Arrhenius models (η vs. T). The thermal behavior is studied by DSC for both the resins and cured films indicating the presence of two Tgs, corresponding to the segregated fluorinated and hydrogenated phases, the former particularly evident with the highest molecular weights of the fluorinated macromer. Tensile curves of selfsupported films are then analyzed showing an evident tough-plastic behavior especially for the isocyanate-cured films. The application of such materials as high-durability clear coats is finally proposed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zur Verbesserung der Maßhaltigkeit und der Zähigkeit von gehärteten Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden teilverträgliche, methylolgruppenhaltige Epoxidharze (EP) auf Bisphenol A-Basis hergestellt und charakterisiert. Die Vernetzung solcher Epoxyresolharze durch 2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazol in Gegenwart von MF-Harz wurde untersucht. Spritzgepreßte Probekörper zeigen eine Zweiphasenstruktur; die EP-Phase kann als Wirt für carboxy-funktionalisierte, oligomere NBR-Kautschuke (CTBNX) dienen, die für sich allein in MF-Harzen nicht wirksam sind. Unter der Voraussetzung von kovalenten Bindungen in der Phasengrenzfläche kann durch den Zusatz von 0,5 bis 4 Gew.-% CTBNX zur MF-Formmasse bei EP-Anteilen bis 20 Gew.-% eine 50 bis 100proz. Steigerung von Bruchdehnung und Schlagzähigkeit erreicht werden, ohne daß Steifigkeit und Wärmeformbeständigkeit wesentlich abfallen. Bei moderaten EP/CTBNX-Gehalten wird zusätzlich die Nachschwindung von MF-Formteilen vermindert.
    Notes: In order to improve dimension stability and toughness of melamine formaldehyde moulding materials (MF), compatible bisphenol A epoxy resins (EP) with additional methylol groups were synthesized and characterized. Crosslinking of those epoxyresol resins with 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole in the presence of MF resin was investigated. Transfer-moulded specimens revealed a two-phase morphology in which the EP phase is used as a host for modification with carboxylic functionalized oligomeric NBR rubber (CTBNX), which is not effective in MF moulding materials alone. The addition of 0.5 - 4 wt.-% CTBNX to the MF moulding materials at an epoxy content of maximum 20 wt.-% results in 50-100 % increase of elasticity and toughness without serious decrease in stiffness and heat deflection temperature, provided that covalent interfacial bonds exist. In addition, the post-shrinkage of MF parts decreases if a moderate EP/CTBNX content is introduced.

Bemerkenswert ist, daß die Einführung von 2,5 und 5 Teilen Ruß eine Verbesserung der physico-mechanischen Eigenschaften ermöglicht. Dieses Resultat ist durch die Anwesenheit der Schlagzäh- und Fließmodifikatoren zu erklären.
    Notes: The concurrent influence of the processing aid (Paraloid K 120N) and the carbon black ratio, as well as the nature and the ratio of the impact modifier (CPE 3615 and Kane Ace B56 A) on the main physico-mechanical characteristics of the poly(vinyl chloride)-based unplasticized mixtures have been studied. The results obtained, processed mathematically and plotted graphically in the form of response surfaces, evidenced that the improvement of certain physico-mechanical properties becomes possible by the introduction of 2.5 parts and 5.0 parts carbon black into these compounds. This is due to the introduction of impact modifiers and processing aids into the mixtures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeres (EVA) mit 12% Vinylacetat-Gehalt wurde mit Trimethylolpropantrimethacrylat (TMPTMA) als Sensibilisator mit Elektronen bestrahlt. Die mechanischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften der bestrahlten Copolymerproben wurden untersucht. Die Resultate zeigen, daß sich Zugfestigkeit und Bruchdehnung zunächst mit zunehmender Strahlungsdosis verbessern und bei Überschreiten einer optimalen Strahlungsdosis und Sensibilisatorkonzentration wieder verschlechtern. Durch die Bestrahlung wird eine Vernetzung des Polymeren ausgelöst, die auf den sich mit der Strahlungsdosis erhöhenden Gelanteil zurückgeführt wird. Im Vergleich mit den Originalproben nehmen sowohl die Dielektrizitätskonstante als auch der dielektrische Verlustfaktor durch die Elektronenbestrahlung ab.
    Notes: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer (12% vinyl acetate content) is subjected to electron beam irradiation using trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a radiation sensitizer. Mechanical and electrical studies of these irradiated samples show that the strength properties (tensile strength, elongation at break) are increased with radiation dosage up to an optimum radiation dose and sensitizer level above which the properties begin to deteriorate. Crosslinking of the polymer takes place on irradiation which is attributed to an increased gel content with increasing radiation dose. Compared to the original samples both dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor decrease for samples subjected to irradiation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cellulose-p-toluolsulfonsäureester (Cellulosetosylate) lassen sich durch homogene Umsetzung von Cellulose in einer Lösung aus N,N-Dimethylacetamid und LiCl mit Tosylchlorid (Tos-Cl) und Triethylamin in 24 h bei 8°C in hoher Ausbeute und mit minimalem Einbau von Chlordesoxy-Gruppen herstellen. Die unterschiedlichen Celluloseausgangsmaterialien hatten durchschnittliche Polymerisationsgrade von 280 bis 5100. Die Produkte wurden mit Elementaranalyse, 13C-NMR- und FTIR-Spektroskopie und durch Bestimmung der Grenzviskositäten charakterisiert. Die Erhöhung des Molverhältnisses Tos-Cl/Anhydroglucose-Einheit (AGU) von 0.6 auf 9.0 führte zu einem Anstieg des Substitutionsgrades (DS) von 0.4 bis auf einen Maximalwert von 2.3. Die Cellulosetosylate sind in herkömmlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln wie Dimethylsulfoxid (im gesamten DS Bereich) und in N,N-Dimethylacetamid, N,N-Dimethylformamid, Aceton, Tetrahydrofuran und Trichlormethan (in Abhängigkeit von DS) löslich. Durch 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie wurde nachgewiesen, daß die Tosylierung am O-6 Atom der AGU schneller als an den O-2/3 Atomen erfolgt. Die Analyse der korrespondierenden Ioddesoxycellulosen, die durch Umsetzung mit NaI in Acetylaceton synthetisiert wurden, bestätigte dies zusätzlich. Darüber hinaus wurden wichtige Eigenschaften der Cellulosetosylate wie die Stabilität gegenüber Alkali und thermischer Beanspruchung untersucht.
    Notes: Pure cellulose p-toluenesulfonates (tosylates) with an insignificant formation of chlorodeoxy groups were prepared by reacting cellulose dissolved in a solution of N,N-dimethylacetamide and LiCI with tosylchloride (Tos-CI) in the presence of triethylamine within 24 h at 8°C. Various cellulosic starting materials with a degree of polymerization from 280 to 5 100 were used. The samples obtained were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FTIR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and their intrinsic viscosities. The rise of the molar ratio of Tos-CI/anhydroglucose unit (AGU) from 0.6 to 9.0 leads to an increase in the degree of substitution (DS) from 0.4 up to a maximum value of 2.3. The cellulose tosylates are readily soluble in common organic solvents like dimethyl sulfoxide (within the whole DS range) and in N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetone, tetrahydrofuran and trichloromethane depending on DS. As revealed by 13C NMR spectroscopy a faster tosylation takes place at the O-6 atom of AGU compared with the O-2/3 atoms. This was additionally confirmed by analysis of the corresponding iododeoxy celluloses synthesized with NaI in acetylacetone. Furthermore, some important properties as stability against alkaline and heat were studied as well.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Herstellung einer SiC-Oberfläche auf Kohlefasern unter Verwendung einer Sol-Gel-Mischung von Tetraethylorthosilikat (TEOS) und Phenolharz wurde untersucht. FTIR- und SEM-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß die SiC-Oberfläche durch carbothermische Reduktion der Sol-Gel-Mischung bei 1 420°C innerhalb von 15-20 min in einer Argon-Atmosphäre gebildet werden kann. Mittels TGA konnte gezeigt werden, daß die SiC-Beschichtung die thermo-oxidative Stabilität der Kohlefasern erhöht. Bei der erreichten SiC-Schichtdicke von 0,47 μm, bei einem C/Si-Verhältnis von 4, zeigt sich keine Beeinflussung der mechanischen Stabilität der Kohlefasern.
    Notes: The preparation of a SiC coating on a carbon fiber surface using a sol-gel mixture of tetraethyl orthosilicat (TEOS) and phenolic resin was studied. FTIR and SEM investigations indicated that the SiC coating can be formed by carbothermal reduction of the sol-gel mixture at 1420°C for 15-20 min in an argon atmosphere. TGA of the coated fiber was also performed, showing that the SiC coating improves the thermooxidative stability of the carbon fiber. With the thickness of the obtained coating of 0.47 μm using a C/Si ratio of 4, this treatment does not affect the carbon fiber strength.

    Description / Table of Contents: Diese Mitteilung behandelt den Einfluß von oligomeren Polypropylen- und Polybutylenölen mit unterschiedlichem Molekulargewicht auf die adhäsiven Eigenschaften von ataktischem Polypropylen (aPP) und dessen Mischungen mit einem Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren. Die mechanische Adhäsionsarbeit Am von Mischungen, die ataktisches Polypropylen und das Oligomere enthalten, steigt mit dem Molekulargewicht des Oligomeren, was im Fall des Propylenöls signifikanter ist. Im Fall der ternären Mischungen des ataktischen Polypropylens mit dem Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren und Oligomeren wird ein Adhäsions-Maximum beobachtet, wenn der Gehalt an Styrol-Ethylhexylacrylat-Copolymeren in der Mischung ungefähr 30 Gew.-% erreicht. Wenn kein Oligomeres in der Mischung vorhanden ist, kann man bei dieser Zusammensetzung ein Adhäsions-Minimum beobachten, was auf die Unverträglichkeit der übrigen Komponenten zurückzuführen ist.
    Notes: This paper deals with the influence of oligomers, namely propylene oil and butylene oil, of different molecular weight on the adhesive properties of atactic polypropylene (aPP) and its mixtures with styrene-2-ethylhexyl acrylate (S-EHA) copolymer. The mechanical work of adhesion Am of the mixture containing atactic polypropylene and oligomer increases with the molecular weight of the oligomer, which was more significant in the case of propylene oil. For ternary mixtures aPP-S-EHA copolymer/oligomer a maximum of adhesion can be observed if the content of the S-EHA copolymer in the mixture reaches about 30 mass-%. In the absence of oligomers in the mixture a minimum of adhesion can be observed for this composition, which can be attributed to the incompatibility of the remaining components.

    Description / Table of Contents: After comparison of three catalyst systems, i.e. [Nd(Oct)3/Al2Cl3ET3/Al(i-But)3, Ni(Oct)2/BF3OEt2/AlEt3 and Al(i-But)3/I2/TiCl4] the titanium catalyst system was used for the copolymerization of 1,3-butadiene with propylene oxide. The effects of monomer ratio on copolymer composition, conversion, microstructure, molar mass and molar mass distribution as well as of time of polymerization and of the aluminium/titanium ratio were evaluted. The copolymerization parameters were determined according to Kelen-Tüdős as rbutadiene = 0,9 and rpropylene oxide = 3,9. Copolymerization was confirmed by 13C NMR spectroscopy and extract evaluation combined with 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Neben dem Einfluß der Monomerzusammensetzung auf den Umsatz, die Microstruktur, die Copolymerzusammensetzung, die Molmassen sowie die Molmassenverteilungen wurden auch die Polymerisationszeit und das Aluminium/Titan-Verhältnis untersucht. Die Copolymerisationsparameter wurden nach Kelen-Tüdős zu rButadien = 0,9 und rPropylenoxid = 3,9 bestimmt. Der Copolymernachweis erfolgte über 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie und Extraktionsuntersuchungen in Verbindung mit 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie.

    Description / Table of Contents: Phosphorhaltige Polyurethane (PU-P) auf der Basis von Bisphenol A wurden durch N-Alkylierung hergestellt und mittels IR- und 1H NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Physikalische und thermische Eigenschaften dieser Polyurethane wurden mittels Differentialkalorimetrie, Thermogravimetrie, Röntgenbeugung und Untersuchungen der Löslichkeit, der Feuerbeständigkeit (Sauerstoffindex, LOI) und der reduzierten Viskosität bestimmt. Die Glastemperaturen der N-alkylierten Polymeren sanken von 120°C für das Ausgangspolymere bis auf 29°C für das N-alkylierte Polyurethan mit 2 Gew.-% Phosphor. Die Viskosität der N-alkylierten Polyurethane nahm von 0,36 dL g-1 auf 0,24 dL g-1 ab. Die phosphorhaltigen Polyurethane besitzen eine geringere thermische Stabilität und bessere Löslichkeit sowie höhere Feuerbeständlgkeit als das Ausgangspolymere. Die Röntgenstreuexperimente ergaben, daß ein erhöhter Phosphorgehalt der Polyurethane die Kristallinität herabsetzt.
    Notes: Phosporus-containing polyurethanes (PU-P) based on bisphenol A were prepared by N-alkylation. The structures of N-alkylated polyurethanes were characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectra. Physical and thermal properties of the phosphorus-containing polyurethanes were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, tests of solubility, limiting oxygen index (LOI) and reduced viscosity. Tg of the N-alkylated polymers decreased from 120°C for the starting polymer to 29°C of the 2.0 wt.-% phosphorus-containing polyurethanes. The viscosity of N-alkylated polyurethanes also decreased from 0.36 dL g-1 to 0.24 dL g-1. The thermal stability of polyurethanes decreased on the introduction of phosphorus groups. The LOI values of polyurethanes showed that fire resistance of phosphorus-containing polyurethanes was enhanced. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the increased phosphorus content was accompanied by decreased crystallinity of the polyurethanes. The solubility of PU-P was improved.

    Notes: This question was addressed using various methods to monitor the process of curing and state of the final network. Attention was particularly focused on the possible inhomogeneous network formation as a consequence of the crosslinking process. An analysis of experimental data has revealed that some cured resins can be considered as homogeneous as the corresponding uncrosslinked materials. Resins cured by simple stepwise alternating chemistries, with good compatibility of components, usually fulfill the criterion of homogeneity. A family of epoxy resins cured with polyamines belongs to this category. Nodular structures seen by electron microscopy are a result of interaction of the electron beam or etching. Such structures are also observed for uncrosslinked polymers investigated under the same conditions. Formation of inhomogeneities in a number of thermoset systems is due to (a) chainwise mechanism of network formation with fast propagation inducing cyclization and steric volume exclusion and (b) poor compatibility of components of the system made stronger by increasing molecular weights and crosslinking during curing. Networks formed by freeradical polymerization and copolymerization of polyvinyl monomers can serve as an example of crosslinking-driven formation of inhomogeneities.

    Notes: The base and transition metal catalyzed isomerization of allyl and crotyl ethers affords a facile, high yield route to the preparation of a variety of mono-, di-, and multifunctional 1-propenyl and 1-butenyl ethers. Employing this novel method, monomers containing epoxide, ester, ether carbonate and urethane groups can be prepared from their readily available allyl and crotyl precursors. In general, these monomers display very high reactivity in cationic polymerizations. In our work, we have focused on photoinduced cationic polymerizations of these monomers using diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salt photoinitiators. To study these very fast photopolymerizations, extensive use of real-time infrared spectroscopy was made. Employing this technique, the effects of monomer and photoinitiator structure on the rates of polymerization were studied.

    Notes: Rubber elasticity is associated with changes in configurational entropy of a long chain. Because the chain cannot change its configuration instantaneously, there is a time delay in deformation to an applied force. This delayed response is the source of viscoelasticity and hysteresis energy loss of elastomer networks. Many tire performance properties are related to the viscoelasticity of tire components. Wet and dry traction of tire is related to the energy loss of the tread material at very high frequencies. On the other hand, rolling resistance of tire is characterized by the energy loss of tread material at relatively low frequencies. The dynamic viscoelastic properties of elastomer network shows characteristic zones on a frequency scale. At very high frequencies the energy loss is controlled by the segmental motions of the polymer chain. At lower frequencies the energy loss is related to the longer range motions of the chain. A series of polymers was synthesized to study the effect of micro- and macro-structure of the polymer on the viscoelastic properties of tread compounds and their tire performance properties. As expected from the theory, the wet traction of the tire was highly correlated to the segmental motions of the chains; namely, the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The energy loss of the compounds at a higher temperature, however, was related to the macrostructure of the polymer chain. Those examples illustrate that the fundamental understanding of the theory of elastomer network allows a tire engineer to obtain the best balance of tire performance characteristics.

    Notes: Cationic, anionic, and radical ring-opening polymerization of spiro and bicyclic monomers, and their application to network polymers have been developed. Bicyclo orthoesters (BOEs), spiro orthoesters (SOEs), and spiro orthocarbonates (SOCs) were polymerized by cationic double ring-opening. Bicyclobis(γ-butyrolactone)s and spirobis(γ-butyrolactone)s were copolymerized with epoxides by anionic alternating ring-opening. Polymers from SOCs bearing exomethylene groups consisted of ring-opened and vinyl polymerized units. The degree of ring-opening of SOCs depended upon the number of rings and steric hindrance. The radical polymerization of vinylcyclopropanone cyclic acetals depended on the ring-size. With the monomers bearing 5- and 6-membered acetal rings, single ring-opened polymers were obtained. With the monomer bearing 7-membered acetal ring, the polymer mainly consisted of double ring-opened unit. These monomers could be crosslinked by bifunctionalization. Poly(cyclic orthoester)s linked by covalent bonds with dithiols to bifunctional SOEs were crosslinked by acid catalysts, and the reversible crosslinking-depolymerization system could be controlled by temperature.

    Notes: Polyester urethane network elastomers with incorporated hard segment oligomers have been prepared by poly(ethylene adipate)glycol (PEA), 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), and 1,4-butanediol (BD). These hard segment oligomers were hydroxy-terminated oligomers ([BD-TDI]n-BD; n=1,3), obtained by reacting BD with TDI. Concentrations of allophanate as a cross-linking site were determined by the amine degradation method. Hard segment moieties were obtained by a novel selective hydrolysis of soft segments in the elastomers. Molecular weight distributions of hard segment were measured by means of GPC. Mechanical and thermal properties were measured. Dependence of rubber elasticity on physical cross-linking between normal elastomers and the elastomers with incorporated hard segment oligomers were discussed.

    Notes: Poly (vinyl alcohol) with pendent styrylpyridinium groups (SbQ) is insolubilized by photoirradiation. An association takes place in SbQ groups. The association of polymer chains becomes marked with increasing the number of SbQ groups. Mainly intermolecular crosslinks were formed. Transparent and homogeneous macrogels consisting of several intermolecular crosslinks are obtained.The proportion of the free water to the bound water in PVA-SbQ gels was 3.3-2.9 despite of the large change in conversion of photodimerization of SbQ groups, x=0.27-0.58. The water uptake after swelling of the gels in water increased 6-27 times compared to the original weight at pH=7. The higher the degree of photocrosslinking, the lower was the degree of swelling. The water diffusion coefficients, D, were (2.2-5.8) × 10-5 cm2 S-1 for a 88% saponified PVA with 1 . 3 mol% SbQ groups. The volume of the gel increased discontinuously about 10-fold for the 99% saponified PVA with 0 . 096 mol% SbQ and 51% water (49% acetone). The acetone concentration at the transition decreased with increasing the degree of saponification of the PVA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch anionische Copolymerisation von Allylmethacrylat und Methylmethacrylat wurden Makromonomere unterschiedlicher Kettenlänge mit durchschnittlich drei Allyl-Doppelbindungen pro Kette hergestellt́ und mit NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelpermeationschromatographie charakterisiert. Durch Copolymerisation der Makromonomeren mit 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon wurden dreidimensionale Strukturen erhalten. Die optischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Produkte wurden untersucht, und die Quellungseigenschaften und Vernetzungsgrade wurden bestimmt. Die Copolymereigenschaften wurden durch Makromonomere mit Kettenlängen bis 40 Einheiten nur wenig beeinflußt. Bei Kettenlängen über 50 Einheiten wurde eine leichte Abnahme der Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit und eine deutliche Erhähung des Elastizitätsmoduls beobachtet. Die Vernetzungsgrade hängen von der Makromonomer-Kettenlange ab; eine merkliche Erhöhung aufgrund der groößeren Zahl an Methyl-Methyl-Wechselwirkungen wurde bei Kettenlangen über 50 Einheiten festgestellt. Die Copolymeren zeigen günstige Festigkeits-Dehnungs-Eigenschaften und einen geringen Gehalt an wasserlöslichen Extrakten, in denen durch IR-Spektroskopie 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon-Homopolymere identifiziert wurden. Obwohl mit allen untersuchten Makromonomeren gute Resultate erzielt wurden, scheint für die Copolymerisation mit 1-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon das Makromonomere mit 50 Einheiten am besten geeignet.
    Notes: Macromonomers of various chain lengths with an average of three allyl double bonds per chain were prepared by anionic copolymerization of allyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate. The macromonomers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance. The macromonomers were then copolymerized with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone to form three-dimensional structures. Their optical, swelling and mechanical properties were studied and the crosslinking efficiency was determined. The copolymer properties are not greatly affected by macromonomer chain lengths up to 40-mers; above 50-mers there is a slight decrease in the equilibrium water content and a significant increase in the modulus of elasticity. The crosslinking efficiency depends on the macromonomer chain length; a marked increase was observed for the 50-mer because of a greater number of methyl-methyl interactions. Copolymers have favourable strength-strain properties and a low content of water-soluble extracts, in which the IR analysis demonstrated the presence of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone homopolymers. In spite of the good results obtained for all the macromonomers described in this work, the 50-mer seems to be optimal for copolymerization with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.

    Description / Table of Contents: The curing of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with 2,6-dimethylol-p-cresol modified by hexahydrophthalic acid anhydride was investigated and compared with the analogous in situ curing of DGEBA, hexahydrophthalic acid anhydride and 2,6-dimethylol-p-cresol. The chemical reactions were investigated by means of titration and different spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. It was examined whether the less complicated and therefore cheaper in situ reaction delivers postcured products with equal or better properties. Furthermore, it was investigated whether the results are similar using technical phenolic hardeners.

Die chemischen Reaktionen wurden durch Titration der Epoxidgruppen und mit verschiedenen spektroskopischen und chromatographischen Methoden untersucht. Es wurde geprüft, ob die weniger aufwendige und daher preiswertere in situ-Härtung zu Produkten mit gleichen oder besseren Endeigenschaften führt. Weiterhin wurde die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse auf den Einsatz technischer Phenolharzhärter getestet.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zur Entwicklung neuartiger ökologisch verträglicher makromolekularer Schlichtemittel wurden in früheren Arbeiten Copolymerisationsreaktionen zwischen Polyvinylalkohol (PVA) und Stärke unter Verwendung von chemisch reaktiven bifunktionellen Verbindungen wie N-Methylolacrylamid beschrieben. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die physikochemischen Eigenschaften des resultierenden Copolymeren untersucht. Von Bedeutung sind hierbei insbesondere Merkmale wie Molekulargewichtsverteilung, Klebekraft, Stabilität, Löslichkeit sowie rheologische Eigenschaften. Derartige Kenntnisse über die physikochemische Beschaffenheit der PVA-Ausgangsverbindung sowie des makromolekularen Endproduktes sind eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Entwicklung von neuen Produkten, die als wasserlösliche, recycelbare Schlichtemittel zur Anwendung in der Textilindustrie kommen können.
    Notes: A macromolecular sizing agent based on the copolymerization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with hydrolysed starch was prepared using the chemically reactive bifunctional compound N-methylolacrylamide. Detailed characteristics of the resultant PVA/N-methylolcarbamoylethylated starch copolymer were studied where emphasis has been placed on solubility, rheological properties, molecular weight distribution, adhesive power and stability. Elucidation of the nature of the macromolecular segments of both N-methylolcarbamoylethylated PVA as well as PVA/N-methylolcarbamoylethylated starch copolymer fulfilled the prerequisite to tailor PVA/starch copolymer which is appropriate for application as a water-soluble recyclable sizing agent by ultrafiltration.

    Notes: Seismic isolation was reconfirmed to be extremely efficient for the protection of buildings, and hence human life, on the occasion of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Rubber bearings are placed under the buildings for isolation, and thus the type of rubber bearings is a dominant factor for efficient isolation. In this report, the performance of peripherally restraining type rubber bearing (PRB) was examined where its contracted model was found to simulate the performance of full scale PRB precisely. Damping ratio and vertical spring constant of PRB are as good as the existing ones. PRB showed lower critical shear strain, but it was concluded that no problems were found for the actual use of PRB.

    Notes: The network formation of phenol-formaldehyde resin was investigated by the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique. The observed value of the gel point, pc, was exactly determined as a critical extent of reaction, where the Mw/Mn in soluble parts is maximum. The MC simulation with the cubic percolation theory was applied to the gelation of phenolic resins and gave an exact gel point, which was in excellent agreement with the observed value of pc. The simulation showed that the intramolecular reaction occurred frequently with increasing the gel fraction beyond the gel point. The structural analysis of the maximum cluster with the computer strongly supported the contribution of the intramolecular reaction to the network formation of the gel.

    Notes: The structure of the hydrogel of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of synchrotron radiation. A physically crosslinked blend gel, which was prepared by repetitive freezing and thawing of an aqueous solution of PVA and PAA, could be chemically crosslinked by esterfication of PVA with PAA even in the hydrogel state. The chemical crosslinking induced the destruction of physical crosslinks into a folded structure, indicating that the chemical crosslinking proceeds at the sites around the physical crosslinks that contain PVA and PAA in much higher concentration than other portion of the gel. The pH-induced structure changes of the PVA hydrogels, chemically crosslinked with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were investigated by SAXS on the samples of various chemical crosslinking time. The gels were shrunk at pH4, and swollen at pH8. The results of SAXS showed, that the Porod slope changed with chemical crosslinking time from -3.5 to -2.9 at pH4, and from -2.9 to -2.4 at pH8. The results suggest that a folded structure as a structural domain, which is characterized by fractally rough interface, tends to change into the structure that corresponds to percolation cluster, particularly at pH8. The gels immersed in pH8 showed a remarkable structure change accompanying swelling. The results revealed that a conformational change of PAA chains, induced by the pH change, can be explained by the presence of a structural domain in the gel network, where both PVA chains and PAA chains get entangled and partially form a interpenetrating polymer network(IPN).

    Notes: Polyurethane elastomers were investigated as electrically active materials for actuators. Components in hard segment and soft segment in the elastomers were varied. The elastomers with excellent electrostrictive properties were limited to those which had soft segments of polyesters and polylactones. It turned out, that the elastomers, whose soft segments are polyethers are electrically inert under the experimental conditions. The chemical structure of the hard segment seems not to influence to the electrostrictive property. The charging and discharging process was investigated. The charging process was found to proceed simultaneously with the contracting process caused by the electric field, suggesting that the orientation of the soft segment in the elastomer plays critical rolls in the electrostrictive action. In the elastomer, which has a soft polyether segment and was inactive to the electric field, could be actuated very efficiently when the elastomer was swollen with dimethyl sulfoxide. We conclude that the polyurethane elastomer, whose soft segment has chemical bonds with a relatively large dipole moment, can be actuated by the electric field application, and that even the elastomer, whose soft segment is inactive, could be actuated in the presence of a solvent with a large dipole moment. Thus, the concept found with the gel, could be applied to an elastomer, the soft segment of which plays partly the roll of the solvent in the gel.

    Notes: Chitosan and 6-O-glycolchitosan, a water-soluble chitosan derivative, were oxidized by periodate. In the case of chitosan, only degradation products were obtained. With 6-O-glycolchitosan, however, water-soluble amphoteric polyelectrolyte derivatives of chitosan having higher molecular weight were obtained. The oxidized 6-O-glycolchitosan (OX-GC) showed a pH sensitive change of viscosity in aqueous solution. Moreover, the OX-GC hydrogel, cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, showed a pH sensitive swelling behavior. The OX-GC showed biodegradation behavior by lysozyme after acetylation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Fließ- und Bruchverhalten eines durch das gleichzeitige Härten eines ungesättigten Polyesters (UP) und eines wärmehärtbaren Bismaleimidharzes (BMI) erhaltenen quervernetzten Polymernetzwerkes wurde über einen weiten Temperatur- und Beanspruchungsbereich untersucht. Die Fließspannung σy und der Youngsche Elastizitätsmodul E steigen bei Zunahme der Spannungsbeanspruchung bzw. bei Absinken der Temperatur. Zudem steigen bei ansonsten gleichen Testbedingungen σy und E mit zunehmendem BMI-Gehalt im Blend. Andererseits wurde eine Beeinflussung des Bruch-Parameters Kc durch die Gegenwart des BMI nicht beobachtet. Der Fließprozess wurde sowohl mit Hilfe der Theorie von Argon als auch mit der von Bowden untersucht; die daraus abgeleiteten Molekül-Parameter wurden mit der bei der Härtung gebildeten Molekularstruktur in Beziehung gesetzt.
    Notes: The yielding and the fracture behaviour of an intercrosslinked polymer network obtained by the simultaneous curing of an unsaturated polyester (UP) and a thermosetting bismaleimide resin (BMI) was investigated in a wide range of temperatures and testing rates. The yield stress σy and the Young's modulus E increase by increasing the testing rate and decreasing temperature. Moreover, under the same testing conditions, σy and E increased as the BMI content in the blend was enhanced. On the other hand, it was found that the fracture parameter Kc was not affected by the presence of BMI. The yielding process was analyzed using the theories both of Argon and Bowden and the molecular parameters derived there were related to the molecular structure of the network developed upon curing.

    Notes: A series of new fluorinated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole-imide-amide)s containing various ratios of amide/oxadiazole groups in the repeating unit have been prepared by cyclodehydration of the corresponding poly(hydrazide-imide-amide)s resulting from the reaction of diacid dichlorides incorporating both hexafluoroisopropylidene bridges and imide rings with p-aminobenzhydrazide or with mixtures of certain aromatic diamines and p-aminobenzhydrazide or terephthalic dihydrazide. The new polymers are soluble in polar amidic solvents and can be processed into flexible films by casting from solution. Their glass transition temperatures are in the range 254-325°C and they are thermally stable up to 415-450°C.

    Description / Table of Contents: Blockcopoly(ester-ether) mit verschiedenen ionischen Einheiten wie Sulfobetain (S-Betain), Carbobetain (C-Betain) und Ammoniumtosylat wurden hergestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als antistatische Modifikatoren für Polyethylenterephthalat (PET)-Fasern untersucht. Die ionischen Segmente wurden aus N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamin generiert und statistisch mit den Polyester- und Polyoxyethylen(PEO)-Einheiten cokondensiert. Aus den Copolymeren mit S-Betain-Einheiten wurden im Schmelzspinnverfahren dicke Filamente hergestellt und deren elektrischer Widerstand bestimmt. Abhängig von der Zusammensetzung (25-75 Gew.-% PEO, 1-2 mol-% S-Betain) wurden Widerstände zwischen 108 und 1010 Ω cm-1 gemessen. Die drei copolymerartigen Modifikatoren wurden mit PET durch Blendspinnen gemischt. Die so erhaltenen PET-Fasem zeigen nicht nur gute mechanische sondern auch verbesserte antistatische Eigenschaften. Die Fasern aus dem S-Betain enthaltenden Copolymeren weisen dabei die kürzeste Halbwertszeit des Abbaus der elektrostatischen Ladung auf, obwohl der Oberflächenwiderstand dieses Materials in der Größenordnung 1013 Ω cm-2 dem Wert der mit C-Betain und Ammoniumtosylat hergestellten Fasem ähnlich ist. Die PET-Fasern bewahren ihre guten antistatischen Eigenschften auch nach dem Fäben und wiederholtem Waschen, da sowohl die hydrophilen als auch die ionischen Gruppen an den Polyesterketten fixiert sind.
    Notes: Block copoly(ester-ether)s containing different ionic units, i.e., sulfobetaine (S-betaine), carbobetaine (C-betaine), and ammonium tosylate, were prepared and evaluated as antistatic modifiers of PET fiber. The ionic units were readily derived from N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamine and co-condensed randomly with the polyester and poly(oxyethylene) (PEO) units. For the copolymers containing S-betaine units, a thick filament was melt-spun to evaluate their apparent electric resistivity. Depending on the unit compositions (25-75 wt.-% of PEO and 1-2 mol-% of S-betaine), resistivities ranging from 108 to 1010 Ω cm-1 were obtained. Then, the three copolymer-type modifiers were blended with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) by the ordinary blend-spinning technique. The blend PET fibers obtained showed not only good mechanical properties, but also improved antistatic properties. Particularly, the fiber blended with the copolymer containing S-betaine units had the shortest half-life time of leakage of static charge, although the surface area resistivity, being in the order of 1013 Ω cm-2, was similar to that of the fibers blended with the copolymers containing C-betaine and ammonium tosylate units. These blend PET fibers were found to retain good antistatic properties even after dyeing and repeated washings, because both the hydrophilic and ionic groups are immobilized with the polyester chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: For radical copolymerizations of α-methylstyrene (MS) with methacrylonitrile (MAN) and of MS with acrylonitrile (AN) studies were carried out to examine postulations of kinetic models known from literature, in particular the terminal model with chain-length-independent and chain-length-dependent depolymerization steps. The results of investigations were based on measurements of the sequence length distributions from 13C-NMR spectra. Analyses of MS/MAN copolymers with various compositions were carried out. Reaction parameters and depolymerization constants depending on temperature were calculated. The values of enthalpy and entropy of polymerization and the ceiling temperature were computed for MS to ΔH = 26,5 ± 0,5 kJ mol-1, ΔS = 95 ± 5 J mol-1 K-1, Tceiling = 65 ± 1°C. The terminal model with depolymerization steps turned out to be wrong for the accurate description of the polymerization behaviour in case of the tested systems. Results clearly show important penultimate effects. At the point of knowledge, the description of the polymerization behaviour in terms of a penultimate model with depolymerization steps are suggested.
    Notes: Für die radikalischen Copolymerisationen von α-Methylstyrol (MS) mit Methacrylnitril (MAN) sowie MS mit Acrylnitril (AN) wurden Untersuchungen zur Prüfung der in der Literatur postulierten kinetischen Modelle des „sequenzlängenunabhängigen“ bzw. „sequenzlängenabhängigen“ Terminalmodells mit Depolymerisationsschritten durchgeführt. Sie basieren auf Analysen der Sequenzverteilungen aus 13C-NMR-Spektren. Resultate von 13C-NMR-Untersuchungen an MS/MAN-Polymeren variabler Zusammensetzung werden vorgestellt. Reaktionsparameter und Gleichgewichtskonstanten wurden direkt aus den Informationen der 13C-NMR-Spektren für das Terminalmodell mit Depolymerisationsschritten in Abhängigkeit von der Reaktionstemperatur der Polymeren bestimmt. Hieraus konnten die Polymerisationsenthalpie ΔH = 26,5 ± 0,5 kJ mol-1, die Polymerisationsentropie ΔS = 95 ± 5 J mol-1 K-1 sowie die Ceilingtemperatur Tceiling = 65 ± 1°C für MS bestimmt werden. Es wurde nachgewiesen, daß im Rahmen der Terminalnäherung auch mit Berücksichtigung von Depolymerisationseinflüssen keine adäquate Beschreibung des Copolymerisationsverhaltens im Falle der untersuchten Systeme möglich ist. Vielmehr konnten als Ergebnis der Untersuchungen sowohl in Copolymeren von MS mit AN als auch mit MAN signifikante Penultimate-Effekte nachgewiesen werden. Aufbauend auf diesen Ergebnissen wird die Anwendung eines auf einer Penultimate-Näherung basierenden Modells, welches auch das Gleichgewicht in den Wachstumsreaktionen von MS berücksichtigt, zur theoretischen Vorhersage des Copolymerisationsverhaltens vorgeschlagen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein auf Magnesiumoxid aufgebrachter Polytitazan-Cobalt (III)-Komplex diente als effektiver Katalysator für die Epoxidierung von cis-Cycloocten mit molekularem Sauerstoff bei Normaldruck in Gegenwart von Isobutyraldehyd als Reduktionsmittel. Nach XPS-Untersuchungen wird Cobalt (III) durch den mehrzähnigen Stickstoffliganden des Polytitazans stabilisiert. Bei 25°C beträgt der cis-Cycloocten-Umsatz nach fünf Stunden 95,2%, mit einer Selektivität von 100% für das cis-Cyclohexylenoxid. Der Katalysator Kann mindestens neun Mal ohne Aktivitätsverlust verwendet werden.
    Notes: Magnesium oxide supported polytitazane cobalt (III) complex is demonstrated as an effective catalyst for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene with molecular oxygen at atmospheric pressure in the presence of isobutyraldehyde as the sacrificial reductant. XPS data show that the high-valent cobalt (III) is stabilized by the multidentate nitrogen ligand of polytitazane. The conversion of cis-cyclooctene is as high as 95.2% with 100% selectivity to the cis-cyclooctene oxide at 25°C within 5 h. The catalyst can be used at least nine times without loss of its activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird über die Gleichgewichts-Schmelzpunktsdepression von Polycarbonat aus Bisphenol A (PC) in Mischungen mit Poly-∊-caprolacton (PCL) berichtet. Hierzu wird ein Modell entwickelt, das den gekrümmten Verlauf der gemessenen Hoffman-Weeks-Plots zu erklären vermag. Es berücksichtigt die Konzentrationsinhomogenitäten, die mit fortschreitender Kristallisation an der Kristallwachstumsfront entstehen. Die gelegentlich beobachtete Schmelzpunktsdepression der PCL-Komponente wird diskutiert. Der Flory-Hugginssche Wechselwirkungsparameter wird zu -0,09 berechnet; aus diesem kleinen Wert muß geschlossen werden, daß die Mischungspartner enthalpisch nur schwach wechselwirken. Der merkliche Abfall der Glastemperatur des PC nach Einmischen von PCL bewirkt eine beträchtliche Kristallisation aus der Schmelze; es können PC-Kristallinitätsgrade bis zu 25% erreicht werden.
    Notes: It is reported on the equilibrium melting point depression of polycarbonate from bisphenol A (PC) in its blend with poly-∊-caprolactone (PCL). To this end, a model which explains the bended course of the measured Hoffman-Weeks plots is developed which takes into account the composition changes at the crystal growth front upon progressive crystallization. The occasional melting point depression of the PCL component is discussed. The calculated Flory-Huggins parameter of χ12 ≍ -0.09 indicates only weak enthalpic interactions. The remarkable drop in the glass transition temperature of PC with blending allows PC degrees of crystallinity up to 25% upon crystallization from the melt.

The powdery hydrogels were obtained by precipitation polymerization in acetone and diethyl ether, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide and ethylene dimethacrylate as crosslinking agents. Dependences of water-swellability, particle size, aggregation, specific surface and content of the uncrosslinked water-soluble polymers and low-molecular-weight substances in the hydrogels on the conditions of their synthesis were studied. Suitability of particular powdery hydrogels synthesized for the preparation of silicone rubber-hydrogel composites is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Wirkung von aliphatischem Korrosionsschutzöl auf das Aushärte- und Abbauverhalten eines ölkompatiblen Epoxidharzklebers wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC), Fourier-Transformations-Infrarot-Spektroskopie (FTIR) und Thermogravimetrie (TGA) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der DSC- und FTIR-Messungen deuten darauf hin, daß die Härtungsgeschwindigkeit des untersuchten Epoxid-Systems durch das Vorhandensein des Öls nur wenig beeinflußt wird. Dennoch bestätigt das Absinken der exothermen Härtungskurve, begleitet von einer Verbreiterung des Glasübergangstemperaturbereichs, daß das Öl den Aushärtemechanismus beeinflussen kann und in der Lage ist, die Struktur des gehärteten Harzes zu verändern. Außerdem geht aus den TGA-Messungen hervor, daß die Temperaturbeständigkeit des Harzes sich in Gegenwart des Öls verschlechtert; dies wird auf Veränderungen in der Struktur und im Abbaumechanismus des Epoxid-Systems zurückgeführt.
    Notes: The effect of aliphatic slushing oil on the curing and degradation behavior of an oil-accommodating epoxy adhesive is studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of FTIR and DSC indicate that the curing rate of the tested epoxy system is little affected in the presence of the oil. However, the decrease of the curing exotherm accompanied with a broadening of the glass transition confirms that the oil can affect the curing mechanisms and may change the structure of the cured resin. Additionally, it is evident from the TGA results that the thermal resistance of the resin deteriorates in the presence of the oil, which is attributed to the changes in the structure and the degradation mechanism of the epoxy system.

Reaktionsdauer, Temperatur und das Aluminium/Nickel-Verhältnis wurden auf maximale Aktivität und Selektivität optimiert. Umsätze über 90% konnten erreicht werden. Im Vergleich zu Polybutadienen, die mit anderen Nickel-Phosphin-Systemen hergestellt wurden, zeigten die synthetisierten Polybutadiene höhere cis-1,4-Anteile (〈80%) und eine geringe Bildung von 1,2-Einheiten (2%). Alle Polymeren hatten niedrige mittlere Molekulargewichte (Mw 〉 11 800).

Reaction time, temperature and aluminium/nickel molar ratio were optimized in order to achieve maximum activity and selectivity. Conversions higher than 90% were obtained in contrast to other nickel-based systems using phosphine ligands, the resulting polybutadiene showed high cis-1,4 (〈80%) content and only small amount of 1,2-units (2%). All polymers presented low molecular weights (Mw 〉 11 800).

    Description / Table of Contents: Bei der Bestrahlung von Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) mit Röntgensynchrotronstrahlung ändert sich die chemische Struktur des Polymeren. Die Ergebnisse der analytischen Untersuchungen dieser Arbeit weisen darauf hin, daß neben einem Abbau der Polymerketten auch einzelne Esterseitengruppen abgespalten werden. Durch die Bestrahlung entstehende Langkettenverzweigungen wurden bei PMMA nicht gefunden. Dadurch unterscheiden sich die physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften des bestrahlten Polymeren von denen des unbestrahlten.
    Notes: The irradiation of poly(methyl methacrylate) changes the chemical constitution of the polymer. In addition to a decrease in molar mass further radiation-induced radical reactions cause changes in the chemical constitution of the polymer. Analysis of the reaction products shows that formation of long-chain branching can be excluded. Along with degradation of the chain lengths, ester groups in the side chains are attacked. The result is a modified polymer with a physical and chemical behaviour different from that of the starting polymer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Zähigkeit von Polyarylaten wurde durch den Einbau von 4,4′-Thiodiphenol und Bisphenol A, die in der wäßrigen Phase einer Grenzflächenpolykondensation vorgelegt wurden, erhöht. Die modifizierten Polyarylate besitzen leicht erniedrigte Zugfestigkeiten und Zugmoduli, aber aufgrund der Flexibilität der eingebauten Segmente stark erhöhte Izod-Schlagzähigkeiten. Darüber hinaus bleiben die guten thermischen Eigenschaften der Polyarylate nach der Modifizierung erhalten, so daß die hergestellten Materialien auch für Anwendungen mit sehr hohen Anforderungen an die thermische Belastbarkeit geeignet sind.
    Notes: The toughness of polyarylates was improved by incorporation of 4,4′-thiodiphenol and bisphenol A, being introduced in the aqueous phase of an interfacial polycondensation reaction. The modified polyarylates possessed slightly lower tensile strength and modulus but much higher Izod impact strength due to the flexibility of the incorporated segments. In addition, the superb thermal properties typical for polyarylates were reserved in the modified polyarylate, thus assuring its broad applicability for those applications where extremely stringent criteria of thermal characteristics are required.

    Notes: The critical conditions in which the classical Flory-Stockmayer gelation theory (F-S theory) is applicable to monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations were pursued in detail. The resulting prepolymers or precursors of ideal crosslinked-polymers were characterized as standard polymers for the discussion of network formation in free-radical monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations. Methyl methacrylate was copolymerized with a small amount of ethylene dimethacrylate, butylene dimethacrylate or nonapropyleneglycol dimethacrylate in the presence of lauryl mercaptan, a chain transfer agent to reduce the occurrence of a thermodynamic excluded volume effect and intramolecular crosslinking as the primary and secondary factors, respectively, for the greatly delayed gelation in the free-radical monovinyl-divinyl copolymerizations and, moreover, to keep the primary chain length constant by inhibiting a gel effect. The ratio of the actual gel point to the theoretical one reached 1.1, supporting the validity of F-S theory. The resulting prepolymers were subjected to SEC-MALLS analysis to determine the molecular weights, the molecular-weight distributions and the radii of gyration; the correlations of molecular weight vs. elution volume and radius of gyration vs. molecular weight were useful for the characterization of the precursors of ideal network-polymers.

In N,N-Dimethylformamid wird vorwiegend Chlordeoxypullulan gebildet, während in Pyridin bei niedrigen Temperaturen der Mesylester das Hauptprodukt ist. In N,N-Dimethylacetamide entstehen Chlordeoxy und Mesylgruppen im Verhältnis 2:1. Durch die Einführung der Chlordeoxy- bzw. Mesylgruppen werden die Mikropartikel hydrophob.
    Notes: The reaction of mesyl chloride with crosslinked pullulan microparticles was investigated, in particular the influence of the reaction conditions on the ratio between the two possible products chlorodeoxy or O-mesyl pullulan. It was found that in N,N-dimethylformamide the preponderent reaction product is chlorodeoxy pullulan, while in pyridine at low temperatures the main product is the mesyl ester of pullulan. In N,N-dimethylacetamide, the substituent groups are both chlorodeoxy and mesyl ones, in about 2:1 ratio. By the introduction of either chlorodeoxy or mesyl groups, the pullulan-crosslinked microparticles become hydrophobic.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(4-hydroxybutylacrylat) poly(4-HBA) wurde aus wäßrigem Medium mit Ammoniumpersulfat als Initiator auf Seide (bombyx mori) aufgepfropft. Die Gewichtszunahme stieg proportional mit der Monomerkonzentration im Pfropfsystem. Der Pfropfgrad lag im Bereich von 45 bis 65%. Die Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme nahm bei einer Gewichtszunahme von 〉10% stark ab. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Seidenfasern zeigten mit steigender Gewichtszunahme keine wesentliche Änderung. Doppelbrechung und isotroper Brechungsindex nahmen bis zu einer Gewichtszunahme von 35% ab und blieben dann unverändert. Röntgenbeugungsdiagramme zeigten, daß die kristalline Struktur durch die Pfropfbehandlung nicht modifiziert wird. Kalorimetrische (DSC), thermomechanische (TMA) und thermogravimetrische (TG) Analysen ergaben, daß das thermische Verhalten der poly(4-HBA)-gepfropften Seidenfasern nur leicht verändert wird. Die zur Bestimmung des dynamisch-mechanischen Verhaltens der Seidenfasern durchgeführten DMA-Messungen zeigten eine Verschiebung der E′- und E″-Modulspitzen zu niedrigeren Temperaturen mit steigender Gewichtszunahme. Ablagerungen auf der Faseroberfläche der bei einem hohen Monomer/Seide-Verhältnis (〉50%) gepfropften Seide wurden mit Rasterelektronenmikroskopie nachgewiesen.
    Notes: Poly(4-hydroxybutyl acrylate) poly(4-HBA) was graft-copolymerized onto silk fibres (bombyx mori) in aqueous medium with ammonium persulfate as initiator. The weight gain increased with increasing concentration of monomer in the grafting system. The grafting efficiency ranged from 45 to 65%. Equilibrium moisture regain decreased sharply beyond 10% weight gain. The tensile properties of the silk fibres did not change significantly as a function of the increasing weight gain. Birefringence and isotropic refractive index decreased until 35% weight gain and then remained unchanged. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the crystalline structure was not affected by grafting. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical (TMA), and thermogravimetric (TG) measurements showed that poly(4-HBA)-grafted silk fibres underwent only slight changes in the thermal behaviour. The dynamic mechanical measurements (DMA) exhibited a downward shift of both the storage (E′) and loss modulus peak (E″) with increasing weight gain. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations showed the presence of some deposits adhering to the surface of silk fibres grafted at high monomer/silk ratio (〉50%).

    Notes: Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) continues to be a proven testing ground for the study of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). It is important to study the stability of the individual helices of bR, as they are postulated to exist as independently stable transmembrane helices (TMHs) and also for their utility as templates for modeling other IMPs with the postulated seven-helix bundle topology. Toward this purpose, the seven helices of bR have been studied by molecular dynamics simulation in this study. The suitability of using the backbone-dependent rotamer library of side-chain conformations arrived at from the data base of globular protein structures in the case TMHs has been tested by another set of 7 helix simulations with the side-chain orientations taken from this library. The influence of the residue's net charge on the helix stability was examined by simulating the helices III, IV, and VI (from both of the above sets of helices) with zero net charge on the side chains. The results of these 20 simulations demonstrate in general the stability of the isolated helices of bR in conformity with the two-stage hypothesis of IMP folding. However, the helices I, II, V, and VII are more stable than the other three helices. The helical nature of certain regions of III, IV, and VI are influenced by factors such as the net charge and orientation of several residues. It is seen that the residues Arg, Lys, Asp, and Glu (charged residues), and Ser, Thr, Gly, and Pro, play a crucial role in the stability of the helices of bR. The backbone-dependent rotamer library for the side chains is found to be suitable for the study of TMHs in IMP. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The influence of amino acids with contrasting conformational tendencies on the stereochemistry of oligopeptides has been investigated using an octapeptide Boc-Leu-Aib-Val-Gly-Gly-Leu-Aib-Val-OMe, which contains two helix-promoting Aib residues and a central helix-destabilizing Gly-Gly segment. Single crystal x-ray diffraction studies reveal that a 3 10-helix is formed up to the penultimate Aib residue, at which point there is a helix reversal in the backbone, reminiscent of a C-terminal 6 → I hydrogen bond. The curious feature in the crystal is the solvation of the possible 6 → 1 bond by a CH3OH molecule, where the OH is inserted between O(3) and N(8) and participates in hydrogen bonds with both. The cell parameters are as follows: space group P212121, a = 10.649(4) Å, b = 15.694(5) Å, c = 30.181(8) Å, R = 6.7% for 3427 data (| F0| 〉 3σF) observed to 0.9 Å. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies in CDCl3 using NH group solvent accessibility and nuclear Overhauser effects as probes are consistent with a 3 10-helical conformation. In contrast, in (CD3)2SO, unfolding of the central segment results in a multiple β-turn structure, with β-turn conformations populated at residues 1-2, 3-4, and 6-7. CD studies in methanol-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) mixtures also provide evidence for a solvent-dependent structural transition. Helical conformations are populated in TFE, while type II β-turn structures are favored in methanol. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The molecular and crystal structure of curdlan triacetate, acetylated (1 → 3)β-D-glucan, was analyzed by means of an x-ray diffraction technique with the help of the linked-atom least-squares method. Unit cell dimensions are a = b = 11.00(1), c(fiber axis) = 22.91 (9) Å, and γ = 120°. The space group is P61. The unit cell contains six chemical repeating units related by 6/I-helical symmetry, which is essentially the same as the backbone conformation of one of the modifications (form I) of curdlan. During the refinement calculation, the terminal methyl in every acetyl moiety was elastically restrained to the trans conformation commonly observed in related oligosaccharide structures. The difference Fourier map, the observed and calculated densities, and the thermogravimetric measurement indicated one water molecule per glucose residue. The water oxygen is linked to two carbonyl oxygens in adjacent molecules by hydrogen bonds. The conformation of the primary acetyl moiety is a (skew, -gauche, trans). So far, no skew conformation was observed for the primary acetyl and hydroxyl moieties except in α, β-panose. In both cases, the unusual eclipsed orientation of the primary group is attributed to the hydrogen bond and this conformation is quite different from that of pachyman triacetate. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopists are increasingly utilizing chemical shifts to characterize the secondary structure of proteins. The present study addresses the effects that the positively charged amino group at the N-terminus of a peptide has on 1HN and 1HCα chemical shifts along the chain. This information is necessary for interpreting chemical shift data for proteins and/or for peptides that are used as models for protein structure. The chemical shifts for the 1H resonances of four peptides that differ only in the location of their N-terminii are assigned using two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy. The peptides have sequences derived from the β subunit of the glycoprotein hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-β). Comparison of the 1HN and the 1HCα chemical shifts for residues common to all four peptides reveals downfield shifts for 1HN and the 1HCα resonances within three residues of the N-terminus compared with chemical shifts in the interior of the peptide. The magnitude of the downfield shift is larger for resonances nearer the N-terminus. Quantum mechanical calculations of the 1HN and 1HCα chemical shifts in peptides constructed with six alanine units also predict a significant terminus effect. The calculations agree both qualitatively and quantitatively with the experimental data. The inductive nature of the end effect is confirmed in the calculations by Mulliken population analysis. End effects should be taken into account in determining protein secondary structures from chemical shifts. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The interaction of the immunogenic peptide of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS(120-145), including B and T epitopes, with phospholipid vesicles has been studied by fluorescence techniques and CD. In addition, interaction of three lipopeptides derived from preS(120-145) containing stearoyl, cholanoyl, and tripalmitoyl-S-glyceryl-cysteine (Pam3C) SS moieties with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) has been investigated by polarization fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence experiments showed an increase in fluorescence intensity and a blue shift of the maximum emission wavelength upon interaction of preS(120-145) with DPPC vesicles below the transition temperature (Tc), indicating that the tryptophan moiety enters a more hydrophobic environment. Moreover, fluorescence polarization experiments showed that the peptide decreased the membrane fluidity at the hydrophobic core, increasing the Tc of the lipid and decreasing the amplitude of the change of fluorescence polarization associated with the cooperative melting of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene labeled vesicles. The absence of leakage of vesicle-entrapped carboxyfluorescein indicates that the peptide did not promote vesicle lysis. Besides, the three lipopeptides derived from preS(120-145) showed a more pronounced rigidifying effect at the hydrophobic core of the bilayer, with a significative increase in the Tc. Stearoyl- and cholanoyl-preS(120-145) restricted the motion of lipids also at the polar surface, whereas Pam3CSS-preS(120-145) did not alter the polar head group order. Finally, CD studies in 2,2,2-triflouroethanol or in presence of vesicles suggested that the bound peptide adopted amphiphilic α-helical and β-sheet structures, with an important contribution of the β-turn. It is concluded that preS(120-145) can interact with the lipid membrane through the formation of an amphipathic structure combination of β-sheet and α-helix aligned parallel to the membrane surface, involving the N-terminal residues, and penetrating only a short distance into the hydrophobic core. The C-terminal part, with a combination of β-turn and β-sheet structure, remains at the outer part of the bilayer, being potentially accessible to immunocompetent cells. Furthermore, coupling of an hydrophobic moiety to the N-terminal part of the peptide favors anchoring to the membrane, probably facilitating interaction of the peptide with the immunoglobulin receptor. These results are in agreement with the induction of immune response by preS(120-145) and with the enhanced immunogenicity found in general for lipid-conjugated immunopeptides. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Inclusion of Arg or Pro residues in proteins and peptides has been proved to play an essential role in biochemical functions through ionic interactions, conformational transitions, and formation of turns as well. In this study we present the conformational properties of the Ac-Arg-Ala-Pro (1), Ac-Arg-Ala-Pro-NH2 (2), Ac-Arg-Pro-Asp-NH2 (3), and Ac-Arg-Pro-Asp (4) tripeptides, using 1H-nmr spectroscopy and molecular dynamics. These peptides were modeled with the aim of studying the role of the Arg-guanidinium to carboxylate ionic interactions on the Xaa-Pro peptide bond isomerization. It was found with 1 and 4 that arginine preferentially interacts with the C-terminal carboxylate group, even though the β-carboxylate is also accessible. This tendency of the Arg moiety was found to induce the cis disposition of the Ala-Pro peptide bond in 1. It was also confirmed that the Arg…Asp side chain-side chain ionic interaction in 3 plays a key role in backbone folding and structural stabilization through a type I β-turn. The nmr pattern for 3 showed a remarkable similarity with that for various Arg-Tyr-Asp containing peptides, a sequence that is crucial for the adhesion properties of the Leishmania gp63 glycoprotein. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    A search for the ideal type I β-turn (1996)

    Notes: In 1968 C. Venkatachalam (Biopolymers, Vol. 6, pp. 1425-1436) predicted the ideal forms of β-turns (type I, type II, etc.) based entirely on theoretical calculations. Subsequently, over a thousand x-ray structures of different globular proteins have been analyzed, with results suggesting that the most important form among the hairpin conformers is the type I β-turn. For the latter type of hairpin conformation, the original computations had predicted φi+1 = -60°, ψi+1 = -30°, φi+2 = -90°, and ψi+2 = 0° as backbone torsion angle values, and these have been used from that time as reference values for the identification of the type I β-turn. However, it has never been clarified whether these “ideal” backbone torsion angle values exist in real structures, or whether these torsion angles are only “theoretical values.” Using the most recent release of the Protein Data Bank (1994), a survey has been made to assign amino acid pairs that approach the ideal form of the type I β-turn. The analysis resulted in four sequences where the deviation from ideal values for any main-chain torsion angles was less than 2°. In order to determine whether such a backbone fold is possible only in proteins owing to fortuitous cooperation of different folding effects, or whether it occurs even in short peptides, various attempts have been made to design the optimal amino acid sequence. Such a peptide model compound adopting precisely the predicted torsion angle values [φi+1 = -60°, ψi+1 = -30°, φi+2 = -90°, and ψi+2 = 0°] could provide valuable information. The solid state conformation of cyclo[(δ) Ava-Gly-Pro-Thr (O1Bu)-Gly] reported herein, incorporating the -Pro-Thr- subunit, yields values suggesting that the “ideal” type I β-turn is even possible for a peptide where there are no major environmental effects present. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The stereochemical requirements for δ-opioid receptor binding of a series of linear peptide antagonists with a novel conformationally restricted Phe analogue (Tic) as a second residue were examined by using a variety of computational chemistry methods. The δ-opioid receptor analogues with significant affinity, Tyr-Tic-NH2 (TI-NH2), Tyr-Tic-Phe-OH (TIP), Tyr-Tic-Phe-NH2(TIP-NH2), Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe-OH (TIPP), Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe-NH2) (TIPP-NH2), and the low affinity δ-opioid peptides Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-NH2 (morphiceptin) and Tyr-Phe-Phe-Phe-NH2 (TPPP-NH2), were included in this study. The conformational profiles of these peptides were obtained by consecutive cycles of high and low temperature molecular dynamic simulations, coupled to molecular mechanical energy minimization carried out until no new conformational minima were obtained. Comparing the results for TPPP-NH2 and TIPP-NH2, the presence of the conformationally restricted Tic residue did not greatly reduce the number of unique low energy conformations, but did allow low energy conformers involving cis bonds between the first two residues. The conformational libraries of these peptides were examined for their ability to satisfy the three key ligand components for receptor recognition already identified by previous studies of high affinity cyclic (Tyr1-D-Pen2-Gly3-Phe4-D -Pen5) enkephalin (DPDPE) type agonists: a protonated amine group, an aromatic ring, and a lipophilic moiety in a specific geometric arrangement. Two types of conformations common to the five high δ-opioid affinity L-Tic analogues were found that satisfied these requirements, one with a cis and the other with a trans peptide bond between the Tyr1 and Tic2 residues. Moreover, both the Tic2 and Phe3 residues could mimic the hydrophobic interactions with the receptor of the Phe4 moiety in the cyclic DPDPE type agonists, consistent with the appreciable affinity of both di-and tripeptides. The low δ-opioid receptor affinity of morphiceptin can be understood as the result of conformational preferences that prevent the fulfillment of this pharmacophore for recognition. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We present two experiments that probe the temperature dependence of the flexibility of the filamentous virus fd by examining aspects of the liquid crystalline nature of fd suspensions. The first measurement is of the temperature variation of the coexisting fd concentrations at the isotropic-cholesteric phase transition. The second measurement is of the magnetic field induced birefringence or Cotton-Mouton constant in the isotropic phase as a function of temperature. We compare these measurements with the theoretical treatment of Onsager, Khokhlov-Semenov, and Chen and conclude that the flexibility of fd varies nonmonotonically with temperature and has a minimum in persistence length at 35°C. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The titration of an aqueous solution of a de novo designed peptide with trifluoroethanol (TFE) shows complete helix formation with the addition of only 30% TFE. A molecular simulation of the peptide, in which a single shell of TFE molecules initially surrounds the peptide, reveals preferred sites of solvent interaction. The TFE molecules show greater preference for the hydrophobic compared with hydrophilic side chains. The helix-enhancing ability of TFE in aqueous solution may be rationalized in terms of stabilizing the hydrophobic collapse of apolar side chains of the formed helix. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Primary plant cell walls contain highly hydrated biopolymer networks, whose major chemistry is known but whose relationship to architectural and mechanical properties is poorly understood. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to characterize segmental mobilities via relaxation and anisotropy effects in order to add a dynamic element to emerging models for cell wall architecture.For hydrated onion cell wall material, single pulse excitation revealed galactan (pectin side chains), provided that dipolar decoupling was used, and some of the pectin backbone in the additional presence of magic angle spinning. Cross-polarization excitation revealed the remaining pectin backbones, which exhibited greater mobility (contact time dependence, dipolar dephasing) than the cellulose component, whose noncrystalline and crystalline fractions showed no mobility discrimination. 1HT2 behavior could be quantitatively interpreted in terms of high resolution observabilities. Mobility-resolved spectroscopy of cell walls from tomato fruit, pea stem, and tobacco leaf showed similar general effects.Nuclear magnetic resonance study of the sequential chemical extraction of onion cell wall material suggests that galactans fill many of the network pores, that extractability of pectins is not dependent on segmental mobility, and that some pectic backbone (and not side chain) is strongly associated with cellulose.Analysis of the state of cellulose in four hydrated cell walls suggests a noncrystalline content of 60-80% and comparable amounts of Iα and Iβ polymorphs in the crystalline fraction. Comparison with micrographs for onion cell walls shows that noncrystalline cellulose does not equate to chains on fibril surfaces, and chemical shifts show that fully solvated cellulose is not a significant component in cell walls. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An optimization protocol is proposed that combines a mean field simulation approach with Boltzmann-weighted sampling. This is done by including Boltzmann probabilities of multiple conformations in the optimization procedure. The method is demonstrated on a simple model system and on the side-chain conformations of phenylalanines in a small hexapeptide. For comparison, calculations were performed using classical stochastic dynamics simulations [M. Saunders, K. N. Houk, Y. Wu, C. Still, M. Lipton, G. Chang, and W. C. Guida (1990), Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 12, pp. 1419], iterative optimization of probabilities on a fixed set of basis conformations [P. Koehl and M. Delaure (1994), Journal of Molecular Biology, Vol. 239, pp. 249-275], and simulations with locally enhanced sampling [A. Roitberg and R. Elber (1991), Journal of Chemical Physics, Vol. 95, pp. 9277-9287]. Although approximations are used in our method, the results may be more physically meaningful than those of the other procedures discussed. Furthermore, the approximate Boltzmann distribution allows generalization of the results. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Several statistical mechanical theories of protein stability have recently been developed, based on mean-field approximations, random energy models, or related assumptions. None of these models treats how protein stability depends on the monomer sequence: they only treat sequences as being random. Here, as a first approximation to sequence effects, we develop theory for how the compact conformations of copolymer chains of two monomer types A and B depend on 4 composition quantities: the numbers of AA, AB, BA, and BB segments. We apply this to improving the “reconfiguration term” of a mean-field treatment of protein stability [K. A. Dill (1985), Biochemistry, Vol. 24, pp. 1501-1509]. Reconfiguration refers to the change of a compact chain from a random conformation to one with an optimal hydrophobic core. By comparison with exhaustive enumeration studies, we find that the theory gives improved estimates for reconfiguration properties in compact copolymers. One interesting result is that for a chain of a given length and hydrophobic (H)/polar (P) composition, some hydrophobic clustering in the sequence (PHHHHP .) is more stabilizing than if hydrophobic and polar residues are perfectly alternating (HPHP .). © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Conformationally and configurationally restricted rotameric probes of phenylalanine have been incorporated in the sequence of substance P (SP) - Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 - for analyzing the binding pockets of Phe7 (S7) and Phe8 (S8), in the neurokinin-1 receptor. These analogues of phenylalanine are (2S, 3R)- and (2S, 3S)-indanylglycines, E- and Z-α, β-dehydrophenylalanines, and 2(S)-α, β-cyclopropylphenylalanines [ΔE Phe, ΔZPhe, ▿E2(S)Phe, and ▿Z2(S)Phe]. Binding data obtained with either conformationally (Ing diastereoisomers) or configurationally (ΔEPhe, ΔZPhe) probes have unveiled large differences in the binding potencies of these rotameric probes. With the support of nmr data and energy calculations done on these SP-substituted analogues, we attempt to answer questions inherent to such study. First, none of these six probes prevents the formation of bioactive conformation(s) of the backbone of SP. Second, both diastereoisomers (S, S) and (S, R) of indanylglycine preferentially adopt, in the sequence of SP, the gauche (-) and trans side-chain orientations, respectively, as previously postulated from energy calculations with model peptides. However, in solution, the difference in energy between these rotamers included in the sequence of SP, compared to model peptides, is smaller since the other rotamer can be detected in [(2S, 3R) Ing7]SP. Finally, from this study we can hypothesize that the large variations observed in the affinities of Phe7 substituted analogues of SP must come from steric hindrance in the S7 binding site, which drastically restricts the space filling around the Cα (SINGLE BOND) Cβ bond of residue 7. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Comparative CD studies have been carried out to characterize the properties of 2′-5′ and 3′-5′ oligoriboadenylates and oligoribouridylates from dimer to decamer. The CD band of the 3′-5′ oligoribonucleotides was larger than that of the 2′-5′ oligoribonucleotides and increased with the increase in chain length, while the CD band of the 2′-5′ oligoribonucleotides increased little beyond the dimer level. The CD analysis of the chain length dependency revealed that the 3′-5′ oligoribonucleotides adopt mainly the base-base stacking interaction, while the base-sugar interaction is predominant in the 2′-5′ oligoribonucleotides. The CD intensity of 3′-5′ oligoribonucleotides decreased to a larger extent at elevated temperatures or in the presence of ethanol compared to that of the 2′-5′ counterparts. Mg2+ or Mn2+ ion enhanced the magnitude of the CD of 3′-5′ octariboadenylate, while a small decrease in the CD was observed by the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+ ion to the 2′-5′ octariboadenylate. The 3′-5′ oligoribonucleotide is likely conformationally flexible and can form helical ordered structure with strong base-base stacking depending on changes in the environment such as temperature, the presence of Mg2+ ion, or hydrophobicity of the solution. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ion transport characteristics across a macrocoacervate layer membrane composed of aqueous elastin model polypeptides with a specific repeating pentapeptide sequence, H-(Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)n-Val-OMe (n ≥ 40), were investigated. Transmembrane potential responses for NaCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2 concentration-cell systems were measured and examined systematically by comparing with those across a coacervate membrane composed of bovine neck ligamental α-elastin. In the case of the NaCl and MgCl2 systems, potential responses across these protein liquid membranes were different noticeably from each other depending upon the molecular structure with and without charged peptide side chains, whereas in the CaCl2 systems the transmembrane potential responses across the noncharged polypentapeptide coacervate membrane were comparable with those across the α-elastin coacervate membrane carrying both the positively and negatively charged amino acid residues as an amphoteric ion-exchange membrane. These results indicated that mechanisms of major Ca2+ ion transport are based on the specific and selective interactions with electrically neutral sites of elastin, such as the polypentapeptide backbone chain. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the thermodynamic stability of axial contacts in sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS). Free energy changes were evaluated for the point mutation β121 Glu → Gln in the axial contact region of HbS crystals. The calculations predict a free energy change of -3.6 kcal/mol per contact for the mutation, which is in qualitative agreement with experimental observations of aggravated sickling found in the double mutant Hb D Los Angeles (β6 Glu → Val, β121 Glu → Gln) relative to HbS (β6 Glu → Val). The β121 Glu is sequestered in a salt link with β17 Lys located on the same polypeptide chain, making the Glu interactions with its surroundings similar in aggregates and individual hemoglobins. Due to this cancellation of the large electrostatic Glu contributions, the weak nonspecific interactions between the Gln and the neighboring polypeptide chain are the main contributing factor to the enhanced aggregation of Hb D Los Angeles relative to HbS. Together with the previous study of the lateral contact [K. Kuczera et al. (1990) Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA, Vol. 87, pp. 8481-8485], the present results provide a more complete picture of the forces driving the sickling aggregation. A comparison of different treatments of internal flexibility in free energy simulations and analysis of rate of convergence of the different calculated properties has also been performed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Many modeling studies of supercoiled DNA are based on equilibrium structures from theoretical calculations or energy minimization. Since closed circular DNAs are flexible, it is possible that errors are introduced by calculating properties from a single minimum energy structure, rather than from a complete thermodynamic ensemble. We have investigated this question using molecular dynamics simulations on a low resolution molecular mechanics model in which each base pair is represented by three points (a plane). This allows the inclusion of sequence-dependent variations of tip, inclination, and twist. Three kinds of sequences were tested: (1) homogeneous DNA, in which all base pairs have the helicoidal parameters of an ideal, average B-DNA; (2) random sequence DNA; and (3) curved DNA. We examined the rate of convergence of various structural parameters. Convergence for most of these is slowest for homogeneous sequences, more rapid for random sequences, and most rapid for curved sequences. The most slowly converging parameter is the antipodes profile. In a plasmid with N base pairs (bp), the antipodes distance is the distance dij from base pair i to base pair j halfway around the plasmid, j = i + N/2. The antipodes profile at time t is a plot of dij over the range i = 1, N/2. In a homogeneous plasmid, convergence requires that the antipodes profile averaged over time must be flat. Even in the small plasmids examined here, the average properties of the ensembles were found to differ from those of static equilibrium structures. These effects will be even more dramatic for larger plasmids. Further, average and dynamic properties are affected by both plasmid size and sequence. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: HCO-Thp-Ac6c-Phe-OMe (3) has been synthesized as a new analogue of the prototypical chemotactic agent HCO-Met-Leu-Phe-OMe (fMLP-OMe). Compound 3 contains 4-aminotetrahydrothiopyran-4-carboxylic acid (Thp) and 1-aminocyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac6c) as achiral, conformationally restricted mimics of Met and Leu, respectively. In the crystal, the formyltripeptide adopts an helical conformation at the Thp and Ac6c residues, of the type αR and αL, respectively, whereas the C-terminal phenylalanine is quasi-extended. A system of two consecutive γ-turns, centered at the first two residues, better explains the nmr data as compared with an alternative β-turn structure. The conformation of the new analogue 3 is compared with those of two related peptides containing Thp as N-terminal residue. The biological activity of 3 has been determined on human neutrophils and compared to that of the previously studied model [Ac6c2] fMLP-OMe. While the above analogue is highly active in the superoxide anion production, the new tripeptide 3 is practically unable to elicit any of the tested biological activities. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We report the predicted combining site structure of the monoclonal antibody fragment. NC10.14, which is specific for the superpotent sweetener, N-(p-cyanophenyl-N′-(diphenylmethyl)guanidine acetic acid, using computer-aided molecular modeling and experimental methods, such as fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism. This is the first computer-aided modeling study on a λ-chain antibody fragment. We have also identified the amino acids that are involved in ligand binding. Aromatic residues. L:91(W), L:96(W), and H:100G(Y) are predicted to make van der Waals contacts with the p-cyanophenyl moiety of the ligand. Residue H:56(K) is predicted to provide a counterion for the acetic acid moiety, and H:50(E) provides the negatively charged potential for interaction with the positive guanidinium group. We also make a comparison of the binding site architecture of NC10.14 with that of a related monoclonal antibody fragment NC6.8. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Fracture of DNA in transient extensional flow. A numerical simulation study (1996)

    Notes: Using the Brownian dynamics simulation technique, we studied the fracture process of DNA chains subjected to transient extensional flow, letting the solution with DNA molecules pass through a very small orifice (radius = 0.0065 cm), thus experiencing extensional flow of the convergent (sink) type. The DNA molecules were modeled as FENE bead-spring chains with the springs obeying a modified Warner force law, as proposed by Reese and Zimm. The fracture yield was strongly dependent on flow rate and molecular weight, reaching, in our setup, a level of 100% at a flow rate of around 0.001 cm3/s for DNA with molecular weight 26 × 106 (T7 DNA). There was found to exist a critical flow rate (Qcrit) below which fracture did not occur, in accordance with what was observed in studies on polystyrene in transient extensional flow. We found that for DNA, the critical flow rate depended on the molecular weight as Qcrit ∼ M-14 when the hydrodynamic interaction effect (HI) was not included in the simulations. When HI was accounted for, the relation was found to be Qcrit ∼ M-1.1, close to the theoretical prediction for fracture of partly extended chains in transient extensional flow. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Molecular dynamics simulations of isolated transmembrane helices of potassium channels (1996)

    Notes: In the middle of the S6 helix in voltage-gated potassium channels there is a highly conserved Pro-Val-Pro motif, while the equivalent M2 helix of inward rectifier potassium channels contains a conserved glycine residue in a comparable position. The structural implications of these conserved motifs are of interest given the evidence that S6 and M2 are components of the lining of their respective pores. Multiple sequence alignment and TM helix prediction methods were used to define consensus regions for S6 and M2. Ensembles of 50 structures for each helix were generated by simulated annealing and restrained molecular dynamics. Time-dependent fluctuations of S6 and M2 were investigated by long time scale molecular dynamics simulations on representative members of each ensemble carried out in vacuo in the presence and absence of a hydrophobic potential that mimics a lipid bilayer. The results are discussed in terms of the structural basis of the kink in S6 and M2 and of a putative functional role for flexible helices as “molecular swivels.” © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
