    Notizen: Abstract A Danish genetic study showed increased risk of cluster headache (CH) among relatives of CH patients. We studied the families of 191 CH patients (118 males, 73 females; mean age 45.9 years) attending the Milan Headache Center. Information on 3589 relatives was collected by direct interview of the probands (n = 118) or by mailed questionnaire (n = 73). The diagnostic criteria of the IHS were used. A positive family history was found in 19% (37 of 191) of the families. A total of 32 first-degree (32 of 1036, 3.1%) and 15 second-degree (15 of 2553, 0.6%) relatives were affected. The relative risk of CH was 26.89 (95% CI, 17.57–36.21) in the first-degree relatives and 4.35 (95% CI, 2.13–5.21) in second-degree relatives. This study shows increased familial risk of cluster headache in an Italian population and confirms that cluster headache is, in some families, and inherited disorder.

    Notizen: Abstract Migraine carries a significant hereditary determination. Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) has been recently linked to mutations in the CACNA1A gene on chromosome 19. CACNA1A codes for a subunit of a neural calcium channel. Other linkage loci on chromosome 1q21-23 and 1q31 have been reported. Several linkage and association studies have been performed to determine the role of the CACNA1A gene, and of other candidate genes implicated in the metabolism of serotonin and dopamine, in the more common types of migraine. Co-morbidity of migraine with vascular events has been analysed versus genetic prothrombotic factors and mitochondrial DNA, and genes involved in the inflammatory cascade have been explored. Though no definite conclusions have emerged from these studies as yet, molecular genetics of migraine can be expected to unravel the complex aetiologies of these fascinating diseases.

    Notizen: Abstract Molecular genetics offers a novel approach to the understanding and management of migraine since the disorder is known to have a strong genetic component. In recent studies, polymorphisms in the genes for dopamine receptors have been evaluated. Both positive and negative association studies have been reported. In particular, these data suggest that activation of the DRD2 receptor plays a modifying role in the pathophysiology of migraine. As a result, existing data provide a molecular rationale for the documented efficacy of dopamine D2 receptor antagonists in the treatment of migraine. Therefore, at the present time, molecular genetic data provide support for the hypothesis that susceptibility to migraine may be modified, in part, by variations in dopamine DRD2 receptor function.

    Notizen: Abstract Pathophysiological studies have dominated migraine research for several years. However, these studies are difficult to interpret because it is difficult to decide whether the observed phenomena are primary or secondary to the migraine attack. For that reason it is important that future migraine research focus on studies that concern migrain etiology. Migraine is a paroxysmal disorder. It is most likely and ion-channel disorder like familial hemiplegic migraine. The present paper focuses on genetic factors in migraine and chronic tension-type headache.

    Notizen: Abstract  Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations of the VHL tumor suppressor gene. Major progress has been made in the last decade in both clinical and fundamental aspects of VHL. The VHL gene product, pVHL, has major and multiple functions: pVHL regulates not only first angiogenesis but also extracellular matrix formation and the cell cycle. A molecular diagnosis of VHL is now available, leading to a transformation in clinical management of patients and their families. Diagnosis of VHL has to be suspected in patients with a VHL-related tumor without familial history and especially in case of hemangioblastoma or endolymphatic sac tumors. Such patients should be systematically investigated for clinical and molecular evidence of VHL disease. Treatment of symptomatic hemangioblastomas remains mainly neurosurgical, often in emergency, but stereotactic radiosurgery is emerging as an alternative therapeutic procedure. In the future, antiangiogenic drugs could represent a potential medical treatment of CNS hemangioblastomas in view of their highly vascular structure. Lastly, visceral manifestations of VHL disease are also of critical importance and require early detection for effective treatment.

    Notizen: Abstract Migraine is a common chronic disorder with an etiology still mostly unknown. Several neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease and the study of their systems is crucial in the understanding of migraine. Dopaminergic receptors are variously represented in human CNS and periphery. The hypothesis that a hypersensitivity of the dopaminergic system may have a role in migraine is based on clinical and genetic data. Genetic data are represented by association studies using dopaminergic genes as candidate genes which show that the D2 receptor gene appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine.

    Notizen: Abstract Human leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are encoded by genes located on chromosome 6p21. Genes important in migraine are being recognized in two basic ways: association studies and linkage analysis. One of the strongest associations is with the HLA region. Actually, genome scan studies suggest that multiple genes are involved in both migraine without aura (MWoA) and migraine with aura (MWA). However, both MWoA and MWA are disorders in which multiple factors, including environmental and genetic factors, confer disease susceptibility. Linkage analysis is identifying new candidate genes that will help to explain the etiology of migraine. In this review previous studies regarding genetic susceptibility to migraine are analyzed, particularly those related to the HLA region. I discuss evidence that HLA shared-hyplotypes in MWoA-affected pairs in different than that expected, that HLA-DR2 antigen provides additional basis for the proposed genetic heterogeneity between MWoA and MWA, and lastly that TNFB gene studies seem to play an important role in the susceptibility to MWoA. In the past years, major advances hae been made in understanding the genetic foundation of MWoA and MWA. Our reported genome-scan studies support the concept that MWoA/MWA are coinherited with a particular HLA region. However, the examination of candidate genes (Ca2+ channel, vascular, CNS, etc.) in a large migraine population seems to be the correct direction in which we have to move. More MWoA/MWa gene studies are needed to test this developing hypothesis and to further establish the complete genetic scenario of migraine.

    Notizen: ABSTRACT¶Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with clinical features resulting from deficiency of dopamine in the nigrostriatal system. Most PD cases are sporadic and the primary cause of the disease is still unknown. Recently, familial PD and parkinsonism have received much attention because these forms of the disease might provide clues to the genetic risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic PD. To date, two causative genes, α-synuclein and the parkin gene, have been identified. α-Synuclein is involved in the pathogenesis of an autosomal dominant form of PD and constitutes a major component of the Lewy body, which is a pathological hallmark of idiopathic PD. In addition, mutations in the parkin gene have been identified as the cause of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). AR-JP manifests itself as a highly selective degeneration of the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus, but without Lewy body formation. In addition to these two genes, four chromosomal loci have been linked to other forms of familial PD. Furthermore, there are a number of other pedigrees of familial PD in which linkage to known genetic loci has been excluded. Molecular cloning of these disease genes and elucidation of the function of their gene products will greatly contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of idiopathic PD.

    Notizen: Abstract  Mechanisms underlying susceptibility to skin irritants are not clearly understood. Cytokines play a key role in inflammation, and functional polymorphisms in cytokine genes may affect responses to irritants. We investigated the relationship between polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-chain gene and responses to irritants. Volunteers (n=221) tested with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and benzalkonium chloride (BKC) were divided into responders and nonresponders and high and low irritant-threshold groups. DNA was assayed for the TNF-308 polymorphism by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. There was a significant increase in the A allele (P=0.030) and AA genotype (P=0.023) in both the SDS low irritant-threshold group and in SDS responders (A allele P=0.022, AA genotype P=0.048). In the BKC low irritant-threshold group, we found a significant increase in the A allele (P=0.002) and AA genotype (P=0.016). Individuals with a low threshold to both irritants demonstrated a significant increase (P=0.002) in the A allele. This is the first description of a nonatopic genetic marker for irritant susceptibility in normal individuals. Genotyping for theTNF-308 polymorphism may thus contribute to screening of individuals deemed at risk of developing irritant contact dermatitis.

    Notizen: Abstract Risk of critical illness is determined both by genetic and environmental influences, particularly those relating to infectious and cardiovascular diseases. Physiologically-based scoring systems cannot measure prior risk because they do not quantify physiological reserve independently of the acute illness. Genetic profiling could be useful for risk assessment. Early detection of critical illness involves identifying physiological ’triggers' for referral; this requires the education of nursing and medical staff in their significance. Analysis of the relationship between risk factors and interventions may need complex modelling techniques. Therapeutic strategies depend on the nature of the underlying problem: the most useful are likely to be those which enhance tissue oxygen delivery and resistance to infection.

    Notizen: Abstract  Two newborns with glomerulocystic kidney disease manifesting as late onset oligohydramnion and neonatal anuria, yet without severe respiratory distress, are presented. They had a similar perinatal course and associated clinical manifestations. No associated congenital or inherited malformation syndrome could be defined. Both infants’ parents were first degree cousins and belonged to the same small Bedouin tribe, and neither they nor the infants’ siblings had polycystic kidneys or renal insufficiency, pointing to either a possible genetic etiology or a common external toxic exposure.

    Notizen: Abstract Thanks to the World Wide Web, most results of research in genetics are made available in public databases. At the present time there are resources on genetic diseases, genes and their location, mutations of already cloned genes and on laboratories performing the mutation analysis. The main resources on phenotypes are On-line Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Pedbase, GeneClinics, London Dysmorphology Database (LDDB) and Orphanet. The main resources on human genes are, in addition to OMIM, the Genome Database, Genatlas and Genecard. There are also two major sequence databases. All of them can be queried using the OMIM number of the disease. Central databases of mutations, as well as locus specific databases have been created. Their list is maintained at the Human Genome Organisation mutation database initiative website. Several initiative have been taken to integrate all these data and help the clinician to find out quickly what he/she needs. The website of the National Center for Biotechnology Information is the best example of such an effort with sections on diseases, a genome guide, and locus links. Several databases of genetic testing resources have been established. GeneTests is an on-line genetics resource that contains a directory of North American laboratories providing testing for heritable disorders. Orphanet is a similar database on French services which is in the process of becoming a European database. Conclusion Even if clinicians do not have as many services at their disposal as the molecular geneticists, various useful databases already exist and should no longer be ignored in practice.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract Over the last decade mild hyperhomocysteinaemia has widely been recognised as a new risk factor for arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Main regulating enzymes of homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism are cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), methionine synthase and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Early studies on patients with vascular disease described elevated Hcy concentrations after methionine loading and decreased CBS activity, resembling heterozygotes for CBS deficiency. Therefore, heterozygosity for CBS deficiency was proposed as the main cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. However, more recent enzymatic and molecular genetic studies have demonstrated that heterozygosity for CBS deficiency is not or only a very minor cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular disease. We discovered two common genetic causes of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia, the 677C 〉 T and the 1298A 〉 C mutations in the coding region of MTHFR. The 677C 〉 T mutation causes reduced enzyme activity with thermolabile protein properties, elevated Hcy and low-normal or decreased plasma folate levels. The 1298A 〉 C mutation relates also to decreased enzyme activity, but not to thermolabile protein, and Hcy and folate levels are not influenced. However, compound heterozygosity for these two mutations, i.e. individuals with the 677CT/1298AC genotype, have elevated Hcy and decreased plasma folate levels. Gene-enviroment interactions between 677C 〉 T and folate is demonstrated in individuals with the 677TT genotype. Those with low-normal folate have elevated Hcy, whereas those with high-normal folate have normal Hcy concentrations. The elevated Hcy levels due to these mutations can be normalised by administration of folate, but whether folate reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease remains to be established. Conclusion Heterozygosity for cystathionine β-synthase deficiency is a minor cause of hyperhomocysteinaemia. The current data on mutations in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene do not tell us whether elevated plasma homocysteine plays a causal role in vascular disease. Low cellular vitamin status may be a possible cause and homocysteine may just be a marker for this situation.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract The epidemic diffusion of obesity in industrialised countries has promoted research on the aetiopathogenesis of this disorder. The purpose of this review is to focus mainly on the contribution that European research has made to this field. Available evidence suggests that obesity results from multiple interactions between genes and environment. Parents obesity is the most important risk factor for childhood obesity. Twin, adoption, and family studies indicated that inheritance is able to account for 25% to 40% of inter-individual difference in adiposity. Single gene defects leading to obesity have been discovered in animals and, in some cases, confirmed in humans as congenital leptin deficiency or congenital leptin receptor deficiency. However, in most cases, genes involved in weight gain do not directly cause obesity but they increase the susceptibility to fat gain in subjects exposed to a specific environment. Both genetic and environmental factors promote a positive energy balance which cause obesity. The relative inefficiency of self-adapting energy intake to energy requirements is responsible for fat gain in predisposed individuals. The role of the environment in the development of obesity is suggested by the rapid increase of the prevalence of obesity accompanying the rapid changes in the lifestyle of the population in the second half of this century. Early experiences with food, feeding practices and family food choices affect children's nutritional habits. In particular, the parents are responsible for food availability and accessibility in the home and they affect food preferences of their children. Diet composition, in particular fat intake, influences the development of obesity. The high energy density and palatability of fatty foods as well as their less satiating properties promotes food consumption. TV viewing, an inactivity and food intake promoter, was identified as a relevant risk factor for obesity in children. Sedentarity, i.e. a low physical activity level, is accompanied by a low fat oxidation rate in muscle and a low fat oxidation rate is a risk factor of fat gain or fat re-gain after weight loss. Conclusion Further research is needed to identify new risk factors of childhood obesity, both in the genetic and environmental areas, which may help to develop more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

    Notizen: Abstract The mechanisms underlying motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that apoptosis is involved in the abnormal neural death that occurs in this devastating disease. Presenilin-1, a transmembrane protein, seems to be implicated in apoptosis. To determine whether presenilin-1 intron 8 polymorphism has an influence in the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, we examined this polymorphism genotypes in a large group of patients (n=72) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and in a random sample of 213 healthy individuals. The results showed a significant difference in genotype (P 〈 0.04) and allele (P 〈 0.03) distribution between patients and controls. These results suggest a possible intervention of presenilin-1 in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

    Notizen: Abstract This review describes differing profiles of vascular risk factors in different types of dementia. Although vascular risk factors are related to various types of strokes, their independent effect on the occurrence of poststroke dementia appears to be small. Various risk factors have been identified for microangiopathy-related cerebral abnormalities, such as white matter changes and lacunae, which are the core lesions for the development of a vascular dementia syndrome without stroke symptoms. Most consistently, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus have been found to be associated with such brain abnormalities. Diastolic blood pressure seems to be of particular importance as recent investigations demonstrate that this factor is related to the course of multiple lacunar strokes and the progression of white matter disease. Epidemiological studies report that various vascular risk factors including arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation may also be associated with Alzheimer’s disease. There is also evidence of a direct relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and general atherosclerosis. Further investigations are needed to determine whether these associations are due to the weakness of diagnostic criteria, or whether vascular risk factors indeed modulate the clinical expression of primary degenerative dementia. Common susceptibility genes leading to shared risk factors may be one of the reasons for a higher coincidence of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia than can be expected by chance. A modulatory effect of vascular risk factors in the development of primary degenerative dementia may extend treatment options.

    Notizen: Abstract Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) metabolises dopamine and activates neurotoxins known to induce parkinsonism in humans and primates. Therefore the MAOB gene (MAOB; Xp15.21–4) is a candidate gene for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Longer length dinucleotide repeat sequences in a highly polymorphic GT repeat region of intron 2 of this gene showed an association with PD in an Australian cohort. We repeated this allele-association study in a population of 176 Chinese PD patients ¶(90 men, 86 women) and 203 age-matched controls (99 men, 104 women). Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood and the polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the appropriate regions of the MAOB gene. The length of each (GT) repeat sequence was determined by 5% polyacrylamide denaturing gel electrophoresis. There was no significant difference in allele frequencies of the (GT) repeat allelic variation between patients and controls (χ2 = 2.48; df = 5, P 〈 0.75). Therefore the longer length GT repeat alleles are not associated with PD in this Chinese population. Possible reasons for the discrepancy between Chinese and Australian populations include a different interaction between this genetic factor and environmental factors in the two populations and the possibility that the long length GT repeat alleles may represent a marker mutation, genetically linked to another susceptibility allele in whites but not in Chinese. Methodological differences in the ascertainment of cases and controls in this cohort could also explain the observed differences. Further study is required to determine whether the longer length GT repeat alleles are true susceptibility alleles in PD.

    Notizen: Abstract Genetic studies have detected an association between the presence of the τ gene A0 allele and patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This study examined whether patients with this polymorphism exhibit distinct demographic or clinical characteristics. We studied 26 patients who fulfilled clinical criteria for the diagnosis of PSP, 20 who had the A0/A0 genotype and 6 who had other genotypes. A questionnaire on demographic data, past medical history, familial history, and initial symptoms was completed as part of the consultation. A complete neurological examination was performed and PSP symptoms were quantified following Golbe’s PSP disability scale. We found a significant difference in the age at onset of PSP symptoms, which was 65.9 ± 5.3 years in the A0/A0 group and 71.2 ± 5.6 in the non-A0/A0 group (P = 0.016). There were no significant differences in the years from disease onset between the two groups. Symptom severity did not differ significantly in patients with the different A0/A0 genotypes. The detection of significantly lower age at onset with the A0/A0 alleles is consistent with the known association of this genotype as a risk factor for PSP. No significant differences were detected in symptom severity between the two groups of patients.

    Notizen: Abstract We found that 19% (9/47) of healthy siblings of patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis had an intrathecal immunological reaction with two or more 2 CSF-enriched oligoclonal bands (OCBs), in contrast to (4%) (2/50) unrelated healthy controls. Furthermore, in this group of nine healthy sibs the measles CSF IgG antibody titers were higher than that of the other sibs and that of controls. There were also differences in the serum titers for measles IgG antibody, which were higher in the group of all healthy sibs than in healthy volunteers, and (as with CSF titers) higher in the subgroup of healthy sibs with two or more 2 CSF-enriched OCBs than the other sibs. Thus a significant proportion of healthy siblings to MS patients have a partially hyperimmune condition similar to that occurring in MS, which in 19% manifested itself as an OCB reaction, in 9% as increased CSF measles IgG antibody titers, and in 21% as increased serum measles IgG antibody titers, these phenomena tending to occur in the same individuals. This condition is characterized by CSF-enriched OCBs with undefined specificity, although some increased antiviral reactivity is found both in the serum and CSF. While it needs further characterization, a genetic trait interacting with common infections is suggested. The recurrence risk of this condition is approximately five times higher than the 3–4% recurrence risk for manifest MS reported for sibs.

    Notizen: Abstract  The new millennium beckons for novel advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric neurosurgical conditions. Almost every aspect of pediatric neurosurgery has changed over the last decade. Undoubtedly with the application of knowledge in molecular biology to human disease many aspects of neurosurgery, especially neuro-oncology and the field of neuro-developmental anomalies, will change appreciably over the next decade. Overall, the trend in surgery in general and neurosurgery in particular is toward less invasive procedures and possibly non-surgical interventions. This review will briefly cover many of the important areas of pediatric neurosurgery. We will describe the state-of-the-art of our subspecialty and discuss possible future directions.

    Notizen: Abstract  The (in)compatibility genotypes of two self-compatible sweet cherry selections, JI 2420 and JI 2434, originating from the John Innes Institute were re-examined. The selections and seedlings derived from them were analysed for stylar ribonucleases, which are known to correlate with S alleles, and the outcome of test crosses was recorded. JI 2420, which had been reported previously as S 3 S 4 ", where " indicates loss of pollen activity, was deduced to have the genotype S 4 S 4 ’. For JI 2434, which had been reported previously as S 3 S 4 0 , S 3 S 3 0 or S 3 S 3 ", where 0 indicates loss of pollen and stylar activity, two different clones were identified. One, at East Malling, was deduced to be S 3 "S 4 ; the other, at Ahrensburg, appeared to be S 3 S 3 " or S 3 S 3 0 .

    Notizen: Abstract  An enriched microsatellite library of the mangrove species Avicennia marina was constructed, in which 85.8% of the clones contained microsatellite sequences. Of the microsatellite repeat sequences isolated, 55.0% were di-nucleotides, 34.2% were tri-nucleotides, 50.0% were perfect, 24.2% were imperfect, and 15.0% were compound. Four different di-nucleotide repeats were isolated with repeat lengths ranging from 5 to 33; ten different tri-nucleotide repeats were isolated with repeat lengths ranging from 3 to 25. The most common di-nucleotide was the AC/TG repeat; the most common tri-nucleotide was the CCG/GGC repeat. Sixteen microsatellite sequences were selected for primer design, and 6 primers were selected to investigate the polymorphism detected among 15 individuals of A. marina from three natural populations in Australia. A total of 40 alleles were detected at 6 microsatellite loci. The number of alleles per microsatellite locus ranged from 5 to 13. On average, 7 alleles were detected per locus. All microsatellite loci showed high levels of gene diversity (heterozygosity), with values ranging from 0.53 to 0.88; the mean value of gene diversity was 0.70. Microsatellite loci were also tested for conservation across Avicennia species. There was a decline in amplification success with increasing divergence between Avicennia species. The results indicate that microsatellites are abundant in the Avicennia genome and can be valuable genetic markers for assessing the effects of deforestation and forest fragmentation in mangrove communities, which is an important issue for mangrove conservation and afforestation schemes.

    Notizen: Abstract In the search for genetic factors contributing to tardive dyskinesia, dopamine receptor genes are considered major candidates. The dopamine D3 receptor is of primary interest as dopamine D3 receptor knock-out mice show locomotor hyperactivation resembling extrapyramidal side-effects of neuroleptic treatment. Furthermore, Steen and colleagues (1997) recently reported an association between tardive dyskinesia and a dopamine D3 receptor gene variant. In the present study we tried to replicate this finding. We investigated 157 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder receiving long-term neuroleptic medication who never or persistently displayed tardive dyskinesia. As advanced age is a main risk factor for tardive dyskinesia, we also compared older patients with a long duration of schizophrenia not displaying tardive dyskinesia to younger patients with a shorter duration of the illness displaying tardive dyskinesia. However, we found no evidence that the dopamine D3 receptor gene is likely to confer susceptibility to the development of tardive dyskinesia.

    Notizen: Abstract An association between long alleles of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the dopamine receptor D4 gene and the extraversion related personality traits Excitement and Novelty Seeking has been reported in healthy subjects. In an attempt to replicate the previous findings, 256 healthy Caucasian volunteers were analysed for a potential relationship between the dopamine receptor D4 exon III VNTR polymorphism and Extraversion as assessed by the Revised Neo Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). The present study did not yield evidence for an association between Extraversion and the dopamine receptor D4 polymorphism.

    Notizen: Abstract An increased amount of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1 molecule has been found in the blood of actively relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but is unclear whether this enhanced expression is partially causative of the MS process, or whether it is merely an epiphenomenon of the inflammatory-immunological reaction. Using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), we studied exon 4 and exon 6 polymorphism of the ICAM-1 gene from 157 families with both parents, one affected and one healthy sib coming from Sardinia, an Italian island having a high incidence and prevalence of MS. TDT did not show variation in the expected 50:50 frequency in transmission in either healthy or affected sibs, using phenotypic or genotypic analysis. Moreover, independence from the predisposing HLA-DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 haplotype was confirmed by TDT analysis performed on the patients stratified according to the presence or absence of the HLA-DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 Sardinian predisposing haplotypes. Our data suggest that the increased expression of the ICAM-1 molecule observed in both blood and periplaque microvessels may be considered a consequence of the inflammatory process rather than the result of a genetic variation.

    Notizen: Abstract  The potato cultivar ’Shepody’ is susceptible to a number of potato viruses including potato virus Y (PVY, potyvirus) but was found to possess extreme resistance to another potyvirus, potato virus A (PVA). ’Shepody’ plants were resistant to PVA infection in manual and graft inoculations. PVA replication was not detected in any of the inoculated plants by ELISA, an infectivity assay and RT-PCR. However, ’Shepody’ plants grafted with shoots containing PVA developed a novel symptomology which resembled a virus infection in appearance and in rate of translocation to the entire plant. Efforts to transmit the symptom-inducing agent manually failed. Graft-inoculation to potato virus indicator plants and PVA-susceptible potato plants showed that the symptom inducer was PVA at an extremely low concentration, detected using RT-PCR followed by Southern blot assay. Tubers from grafted but resistant ’Shepody’ plants had necrotic surfaces and internal spots. PVA was detected from necrotic areas but not from the non-necrotic ones. However, plants resulting from necrotic tubers were free from aerial leaf symptoms observed in grafted plants and produced non-necrotic normal tubers. A trace-back of the parental lineage of ’Shepody’ indicated that the resistance had been introgressed from the cultivar ’Bake King’. Analysis of progeny of a cross of resistant ’Shepody’ to the susceptible ’Goldrus’ indicated that this resistance is controlled by two independent dominant complementary genes in contrast to monogenic resistance reported for other potato viruses.

    Notizen: Abstract The importance of visual evoked potential (VEPs) and electroencephalography for diagnosing and distinghishing the infantile (INCL), late-infantile (LINCL) and juvenile (JNCL) forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) is well established. Variant forms with protracted clinical courses and atypical symptoms have been described recently, whose neurophysiological characteristics sometimes overlap those of LINCL and JNCL. It is unclear whether these variant forms are due to phenotypic variability of known genetic defects, or represent new mutations. Twenty-eight NCL patients have been diagnosed at our institute; a proportion of them were investigated genetically. In 17 we performed neurophysiological investigations including VEPs, brainstem auditory (BAEP) and upper limb somatosensory (SEP) evoked potentials. We found typical and diagnostic electrophysiological involvement of the visual system in 8 patients with classic forms of NCL. Furthermore, the distinctive features of the multimodal evoked potentials in most of the six patients with variant NCL suggest that these are distinct genetic entities.

    Notizen: Abstract We performed a clinical and genetic study of patients affected by cavernous angiomas (CA) of the nervous system. We examined initial signs and symptoms in sporadic and familial cases. We obtained clinical, neuroimaging and genetic data on 15 Italian patients with CA of the nervous system with positive, doubtful or apparently negative family history. Genetic markers surrounding three different gene regions (7q, 3q and 7p) were analysed. In one small family, genetic linkage was consistent with all chromosome loci. In another family with the unusual association of cerebral and spinal CA, linkage with chromosome 7q and, likely, 7p was excluded, while linkage with locus 3q was possible. Our results indicate that Italian families with CA may show genetic heterogeneity. Non-specific and subtle onset symptoms hide the presence of CA within families. Patients with multiple CA may have silent cerebral lesions confirming the low penetrance of clinical signs in spite of radiological ones.

    Notizen: Abstract We present the clinical profile of a group of patients with myoclonus and dystonia sensitive to alcohol and address these cases in the context of essential myoclonus. Six patients from 4 families were selected: 4 men and 2 women with myoclonus affecting predominantly the arms. Active movements of these segments elicited the dystonic and myoclonic movements. A marked improvement with alcohol intake was seen. Laboratory findings including EEG, SSEP, and cranial CT and MRI were normal. Surface EMG recording showed bursts with duration of 30–112 ms in 3 patients. One patient showed a triphasic recording pattern (agonist-antagonist-agonist) of ballistic type. Our findings suggest that the myoclonus-dystonia disorder is present in Brazilian patients.

    Notizen: Abstract When populations are exposed to different environments, evolutionary processes can lead either to genetically differentiated strains or to the appearance of increased generalism at the individual level. For evolution to occur, genetic variability in performance in different environments is required. Here, intraspecific genetic variation across environments was estimated in the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) by comparing the responses of two strains of T. castaneum to different flour types. Replicated groups from each strain were allowed to develop on either the standard whole wheat medium or on one of four novel flours (wheat, rice, corn and oat). In several of the novel flours, clear differences in mean development time or population size of one or both strains were seen relative to performance in the standard medium. Moreover, the strains differed significantly in their phenotypic responses to the flours. One strain did particularly poorly on oat flour. Reduced oviposition, reduced larval survivorship and increased larval cannibalism were examined as possible causes of the low productivity on oat flour. These three factors accounted for about 70% of the reduction in population size when this strain oviposited and developed in oat flour. The difference between these two outbred strains in response to these five flours suggests that genetic variation in resource use is present within T. castaneum and may also be present within strains and natural populations in grain storage facilities. Such variation would permit an evolutionary response to selection in multiple environments (flours). This process has agricultural implications when several types of grain are stored in a single location because it could eventually lead to the evolution of highly generalized populations of T. castaneum, an important pest of stored products.

    Notizen: Summary Root-colonizingPseudomonas putida WCS358 enhances growth of potato in part by producing under iron-limiting conditions a yellow-green, fluorescent siderophore designated pseudobactin 358. This siderophore efficiently complexes iron(III) in the rhizosphere, making it less available to certain endemic microorganisms, including phytopathogens, thus inhibiting their growth. At least 15 genes distributed over five gene clusters are required for the biosynthesis of pseudobactin 358. High-affinity iron(III) transport in strain WCS358 is initiated by an 86-kDa outer membrane receptor protein (PupA) which appears to be specific for ferric pseudobactin 358. PupA shares strong similarity with TonB-dependent receptor proteins ofEscherichia coli, which suggests a TonB-like protein in strain WCS358 is required for iron(III) transport. Strain WCS358 possesses a second uptake system for ferric pseudobactin 358 and structurally diverse ferric siderophores produced by other microorganisms. A second receptor gene (pupB) responsible for iron transport from pseudobactin BN7 or pseudobactin BN8 has been identified. The production of this and certain other ferric siderophore receptor proteins requires that strain WCS358 be grown in the presence of these siderophores. An apparent regulatory gene required for the expression ofpupB is located adjacent topupB. Two positive regulatory genes have been identified which can independently activate, under low-iron(III) conditions, transcription of genes coding for the biosynthesis of pseudobactin 358.

    Notizen: Summary Immunoglobulin heavy chain (G1m, G2m, G3m, A2m) and kappa light chain (Km) allotype and phenotype frequencies of 323 central European Caucasian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were examined and correlated with various genetic, serologic and clinical markers of SLE. No significant associations were found between immunoglobulin allotypes or phenotypes and all 20 parameters tested (nephritis, vasculitis, arthralgias, photosensitivity, discoid lesions, central nervous system disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, sex, anti-Ro, anti-La, anti-nRNP, HLA-DR1-DR7, HLA phenotypes B8-DR3, B7-DR2). It could therefore be assumed that Gm, A2m and Km allotypes were not associated with HLA-antigens and had no influence on the serologic and clinical expression of SLE.

    Notizen: Summary Patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and a strong family history of the disease may represent a sub-group where genetic factors play a pree-minent role in transmission of the disease. A defect in the liver/islet cell glucose transporter (GluT 2) could explain many of the pathophysiological features of the disease. In order to test the hypothesis that genetic variation at the GluT 2 locus contributes genetic susceptibility to Type 2 diabetes, 60 unrelated Caucasian diabetic patients with at least one affected sibling were genotyped for a Taq 1 restriction fragment length polymorphism marker. Hybridisation with a cDNA GluT 2 probe identified two alleles of sizes 13 kilobase (T1) and 19 kilobase (T2). The allele frequencies in the diabetic group with a family history were significantly different from those in a racially-matched control population of 122 subjects with no personal or family history of the disease (diabetic patients T1=0.96, T2=0.04, control subjects T1=0.89, T2=0.11, p〈 0.03). However, when the study was repeated with 54 diabetic patients with indeterminate family history, statistical significance was not reached although the allele frequencies showed a similar trend. The findings of this study support the hypothesis that a genetic variant of the liver/islet cell glucose transporter may contribute to familial susceptibility in Type 2 diabetes.

    Notizen: Summary Epidemiologic data suggest that having a parent with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus increases the risk for Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes in siblings of a Type 1 diabetes proband. This increase in risk is consistent with a shared genetic susceptibility between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. We contrast genetic risk factors in three sets of families, consisting of (1) a single Type 1 diabetic child (proband) and non-diabetic parents, (2) multiple Type 1 diabetic siblings and non-diabetic parents, and (3) at least one Type 1 diabetic child and at least one Type 2 diabetic parent. Previous studies have demonstrated that HLA region genes, which elevate the risk in Type 1 diabetes, have no significant effect with respect to the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. An earlier report cited a contribution by the haptoglobin locus to genetic susceptibility for Type 2 diabetes. We provide evidence that a high risk HLA antigen (HLA-DR3) is decreased to a greater extent in Type 1 patients with a Type 2 parent than in Type 1 patients in which the parents are not diabetic. The role of HLA-DR4 is maintained in these families, with an unexpectedly significant increased rate of transmission of the HLA-DR4 allele from Type 2 parent to Type 1 offspring. The role of haptoglobin in these families does not appear to be important, either with respect to association with diabetes or with respect to linkage with a secondary susceptibility locus. These results indicate that families with a Type 2 parent and Type 1 child, heavily determined by HLA-DR4 linked factors, may represent a homogeneous subset of diabetes susceptibility.

    Notizen: Summary Life-history traits of 101 clones from two populations of Daphnia magna were measured under controlled environmental conditions in the laboratory. Some individuals had four juvenile instars, others had five. This depended on their length at birth and on the population they came from. Females in the group with five juvenile instars were smaller at birth but larger and older at maturity than those with four juvenile instars. Within groups of females with equal numbers of preadult instars (instar groups) age and size at maturity increased with size at birth. This relationship differed significantly among instar groups for both age and size at maturity. Significant differences in age and size at maturity between two populations became non-significant when size at birth was used as a covariable in AN-COVA. Within populations, size at birth depended on the clone and on the parity of the clutch. First-clutch offspring were considerably smaller than those from later clutches. The results suggest that variability in life-history traits is common within and between clones, but that most of this variation can be accounted for by size at birth and the number of pre-adult instars.

Administration of the non-competitive NMDA antagonists produced a dose-dependent increase in well-coordinated locomotor activity at lower doses, followed by a bizarre behavioral syndrome (head weaving, body rolling, rotations, ataxia) after higher doses. The pharmacological profile of the competitive antagonists CGP 39551, CGS 19755, and NPC 12626 was more complex. CGP 39551 dose-dependently inhibited locomotor activity, whereas CGS 19755 and NPC 12626 displayed a biphasic action, that is low doses inhibited locomotor activity, whereas higher doses produced mild behavioral stimulation. The behavioral effects of NMDA antagonists appear to be genetically determined, since CBA animals were most sensitive to both noncompetitive and competitive antagonists, followed by NMRI and C57 animals. The differential effects of NMDA antagonists in various strains of mice suggest that the observed behavioral differences may be due to genetic differences in the NMDA/glutamate receptor channel complex.

    Notizen: Abstract Heterologous gene probes derived from cfxLp and cfxPp genes of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 revealed the presence of structural genes encoding ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK) on the genome of carboxydotrophic bacteria. The two genes were found to be rather conserved. In Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM5 cfx genes reside on the plasmid pHCG3 and the chromosome as well, indicating that they are duplicated. Also in all plasmidharboring carboxydotrophic bacteria cfxL and cfxP structural genes were found to be plasmid-coded. Our results extend the list of carboxydotrophy structural genes residing on the plasmid pHCG3 and strongly support the idea that the components essential for the chemolithoautotrophic utilization of CO by Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM5 are plasmid-coded. A cfxL gene probe from Rhodospirillum rubrum did not detectably hybridize with DNA from any of the carboxydotrophic bacteria examined.

There was no difference between the animal strains in learning capacity in a passive avoidance test, but CBA mice displayed a significant increase in latency in their performance. When tested for sensitivity to the convulsant actions of GABAergic antagonists, picrotoxin produced seizures at lower doses in CBA as compared to NMRI and C57 mice, whereas there was no difference between the strains in the seizure activity produced by the specific GABA receptor antagonist bicuculline. When the animals were tested for sensitivity to ethanol in a horizontal wire test, ethanol (2 g/kg, IP) produced muscle relaxation in CBA mice whereas the performance of NMRI and C57 was not affected. A large dose of ethanol (4 g/kg, IP) produced a significantly longer sleeping time in CBA mice as compared to NMRI and C57 animals. Ethanol-produced hypothermia was, however, similar in all animals. Environment-dependent development of tolerance to ethanol following daily injections of ethanol for 4 days was examined. C57 mice showed the most rapid development of tolerance towards ethanol's hypnotic actions, whereas CBA mice showed no tolerance to this effect of ethanol. No difference between the strains to the development of tolerance to ethanol's hypothermic effects was observed. The present findings indicate that sensitivity to ethanol and ethanol tolerance are complex phenomena which cannot be adequately characterized by measuring only one single functional response to ethanol. The possibility that a genetically determined perturbation in the functions of the GABA receptor-coupled chloride channel, noted as variable sensitivity to picrotoxin, may be of importance for the observed disturbance in habituation to a new environment, for the different sensitivity to ethanol, and for the different rate of development of ethanol tolerance is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary A polydiagnostic computerized diagnostic system for psychosis was used in a Swedish family complex, and 51 patients with psychiatric symptomatology were examined with eight main diagnostic systems for schizophrenia and three systems for schizophrenic subgroups. All patients fulfilled the criteria for schizophrenia according to Taylor et al., 50 according to Carpenter, 41 according to RDC, and 31 of the 51 according to DSM-III and DSM-III-R. The hypothesis that the patients in the Swedish family complex differ from other phenotypes of schizophrenia must be refuted based on the data of the present study.

    Notizen: Summary Genetic improvement in growth of poultry has traditionally proceeded via selection for body weight at a fixed age. Due to increased maintenance costs and reproductive problems of adult broiler breeders, the potential for genetic manipulation of the growth curve has been receiving increased interest. Research of both male and female progeny of a three-way diallel cross was used to investigate the inheritance of growth curve parameters. The Laird form of the Gompertz equation was used to determine growth curve parameters, and was suited to the juvenile growth data frequently collected from meat-type chickens. Growth rate exhibited significant heterosis due to both autosomes and the sex chromosomes. Age at inflection point also exhibited significant average heterosis, though only among females. Growth rate was also influenced by average line effects, as was age at inflection point. Maternal effects had no influence on growth curve parameters, while additive sex linkage was observed for growth rate. Phenotypic and genetic correlations were calculated among the growth curve parameters and suggest that specific breeding programs could alter the growth trajectory of the contemporary broiler chicken. Moderate heritabilities were observed for the growth curve parameters and support the hypothesis that the growth curve could be altered via genetic manipulation of early postnatal growth, especially during the first 14 days post-hatch.

    Notizen: Summary The genetics and relationships between the genes in rye located in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the male sterility of the G-type were investigated. A factor inducing male sterility was found in the cytoplasms or rye cv Schlägler alt and rye cv Norddeutscher Champagner. Monogenic inheritance was observed in linkage tests. Using primary trisomies of rye cv Esto, the nuclear gene ms1 was found to be located on chromosome 4R. Modifying genes, probably masked in normal cytoplasm but expressed in male-sterility-inducing cytoplasm together with gene ms1, were located on chromosomes 3R (ms2) and 6R (ms3). Mono-, di-, and trigenic inheritance types were found in backcross progenies of trisomies.

    Notizen: Summary Legumin and vicilin were purified from seeds of Vicia faba L. var. Scuro, characterized in different electrophoretic systems, and used to produce polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Two-dimensional electrophoretic studies showed a wide range of heterogeneity in the subunits of both legumin and vicilin. Legumin was found to be composed of 29 disulphide-linked subunit pairs with different molecular weight and/or isoelectric point. Western blot analysis of legumin of several mutants revealed molecular polymorphism based on a corresponding gene family. Three different α-major legumin patterns were found, and inheritance studies showed that the 34.3-kD legumin polypeptide is the product of one locus, Lg-1α, which is the first legumin genetic locus described in Vicia faba. Vicilin was found to be composed of as many as 59 subunits distributed in a molecular weight range of 65.7 to 42.8 kD (major polypeptides) and 37.2 to 15.2 kD (minor polypeptides), with different isoelectric points. A model is proposed that explains the possible formation of the minor subunits and the major subunits of 48.2 and 46 kD molecular weight (MW) from proteolytic cleavages and/or glycosilation of precursor polypeptides. Ten different vicilin electrophoretic patterns were observed among the analyzed accessions, which showed large molecular polymorphism that proved to be under genetic control.

    Notizen: Summary Rye α-Amy1, α-Amy2, and α-Amy3 genes were studied in the cross between inbred lines using wheat α-amylase cDNA probes. The α-Amy1 and α-Amy2 probes uncovered considerable restriction fragment length polymorphism, whereas the α-Amy3 region was much more conserved. The numbers of restriction fragments found and the F2 segregation data suggest that there are three α-Amy1 genes, two or three α-Amy2 genes, and three α-Amy3 genes in rye. These conclusions were supported by a simultaneous study of α-amylase isozyme polymorphism. The F2 data showed the three individual α-Amy1 genes to span a distance of 3cM at the locus on chromosome 6RL. The genes were mapped relative to other RFLP markers on 6RL. On chromosome 7RL two α-Amy2 genes were shown to be separated by 5 cM. Linkage data within α-Amy3 on 5RL were not obtained since RFLP could be detected at only one of the genes.

    Notizen: Abstract The focus of CJD among Jews of Libyan origin has been recognized for two decades, but the reasons underlying it were unknown. Prevailing views suggested transmission from sheep infected with scrapie. However, recent data show that in fact CJD in this ethnic group is a genetically determined disease due to a point mutation on the codon 200 of the prion protein gene. The clinical characteristics of CJD in this group, and particularly the less common periodic activity in the EEG, are reviewed. New findings include peripheral neuropathy of the demyelinating type in two cases, presumably due to involvement of Schwann cells. The pathophysiology of the disease includes, presumably, a focal post-translational modification of the prion protein, (predisposed by the mutation). Later, the disease progresses through cell-to-cell transmission.

    Notizen: Summary We have isolated nine independent auxin-resistant mutants of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia by culturing M2 seedlings in the presence of indole-3-acetic acid ethyl ester or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid at concentrations which significantly inhibit hypocotyl elongation of the wild type. The mutations were induced by treating seed with ethyl methanesulphonate and were found in the course of screening 10 000 individual M2 families. Auxin resistance was in all cases the result of a mutation at a single, nuclear locus. The dominance relationships of two of the mutants could be defined as recessive or dominant; all other mutants showed partial dominance. In contrast to previously described mutants of Arabidopsis and N. plumbaginifolia, all of the present mutants were specifically resistant to auxin; the mutants were cross-resistant to several auxins, but showed no increased resistance to cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene or 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid. The importance of the choice of the selection criterion for the isolation of specific resistance traits is discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract This study was designed to compare catecholamine concentrations among three brain areas of four pureline populations of visually isolated chicks. The purelines used were a commercial male line, a fertility selected line, an unselected fertility control line, and unselected White Jersey Giants. In general, male chicks had significantly larger brain weights than females. Six catecholamine-related compounds (norepinephrine, epinephrine,l-DOPA, dopamine, DOPAC, and MHPG) were measured via HPLC-ECD. No significant differences in neurochemical concentration were observed for any line or brain area due to sex of the chick. The hypothalamus (HT) contained the greatest concentration of catecholamines in all lines, followed by the intramedial hyperstriatum ventrale (IMHV) and optic tectum (OT). The HT exhibited consistent lateralization in all lines with the right HT containing ca. 30% more catecholamines than the left HT. While no consistent lateralization was observed among the other brain areas, the IMHV exhibited significantly different degrees of lateralization among the populations. Neuronal activity, as measured by MHPG:NE and DOPAC:DA ratio varied by line within each brain area. There were line differences for MHPG:NE in the HT, IMHV, and OT, while line differences for DOPAC:DA were observed in the HT. Since differences among purelines have been demonstrated in this study, care must be given to precisely define the genotype of chicks used in behavioral and neurochemical research.

    Notizen: Summary The inheritance of resistance in cauliflower to stalk rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary) was investigated in population from six generations of six crosses. Disease incidence was recorded on 4 parents, 6 Fs 1, 6 Fs 2 and 12 back-crosses in a screenhouse under artificially created epiphytotic conditions. Resistance to stalk rot in this set of parents was found to be polygenic and under the control of recessive genes and due primarily to additive gene action. A breeding strategy emphasizing recurrent selection should lead to improvement in resistance.

    Notizen: The properties (squared dimensions, anisotropy, numbers of intra- and intermolecular contacts) of a single five-way cubic lattice chain embedded into an environment (matrix) of chains of the same length n = 50 were evaluated as a function of matrix volume fraction (matrix density) v and intermolecular interaction between the matrix polymer and the minority chain segments, characterized by a parameter φ. No convincing evidence was found for the occurrence of a coil-globule transition in the range of matrix densities (v ≤ 0.7) and repulsive interactions between matrix and minority chain (φ ≤ 0.2) investigated. For moderate attractive interaction (φ ≈ -0.17) a compensation of the chaincompressing action of the matrix and the chain-expanding interaction with the matrix was observed resulting in a zero-dependence of the size and shape of the minority chain on matrix density. It further turned out that there are fixed relations among the various size and shape data irrespective of the specific combination of matrix density and thermodynamic interaction by which a particular polymer dimension is produced. These interrelations are fairly the same as those evaluated for isolated chains the size of which is varied by an intramolecular energy parameter φi.

    Notizen: New three phases composite materials made of glassbeads as filler, water as liquid dispersed phase and polystyrene as matrix were obtained by polymerization of a water in oil emulsion formed by water dispersed in styrene in which glass beads are added. For this purpose glass beads have to be modified by silanization by a coupling agent 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (TPM) or a silane Octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODMS), in order to prevent the wetting of the glass by water. Only low coverage of the glass surface by the coupling agent (0,05% of TPM) are convenient for the preparation cellular materials having good mechanical properties. At higher coverage ratio, strong hydrophobic glass beads are obtained which destabilize the water / styrene emulsion and lead to macroporous products. Study of the rheology of the filled emulsion appears to be the more simple and more sensitive method to determine the level of wettability of the glass bead by the emulsion which is the most significant parameter for the preparation of such three phases composite materials. Composite materials made of glass beads, air and polystyrene are simply obtained by evaporation of water under vacuum.

    Notizen: To test the molecular parameters concerning gas sorption in polymers, the concentration of CO2, N2O, CO, N2, CH4 and the noble gases Ne, He in glassy poly(butylene terephthalate) films (PBTP) has been studied gravimetrically with a recording microbalance at 25°C. The sorption isotherms exhibit downward curvature to the pressure axis. As neither solubility nor adsorption can explain the experimental results, analysis was carried out based on the dual-sorption model: gas dissolution and microvoid filling are considered as independent sorption mechanisms. The parameters of the dual-sorption model for the mentioned penetrants are determined. The results indicate that for parameter correlation the Lennard-Jones potential parameters give a rough idea, but size exclusion of gases in small diameter microvoids is proposed and special chemical interactions must be considered.

Methylaluminoxan, diethylaluminium ethoxide, tetraisobutyldialuminoxan and tetrabutyltin served as cocatalyst. Toluene, Chlorobenzene and dichloromethane were used as solvents. The concentration of the tungsten components was in the range from 5 × 10-4 to 5 × 10-3 mol/l. Among the catalyst studied, tungsten hexachloride with diethylaluminium ethoxide proved to be the best. The polymerisation was highly selective with this system even at high monomer/tungsten ratios (e.q. 10200:1) and let to high conversions (≥82%).

Als Cokatalysatoren dienten Methylaluminoxan, Diethylaluminiumethoxid, Tetraisobutyldialuminoxan und Tetrabutylzinn. Als Lösungsmittel wurden Toluol, Chlorbenzol und Dichlormethan verwendet. Die Konzentration der Wolframkomponente lag im Bereich 5 × 10-4 - 5 × 10-3 mol/l. Unter den geprüften Katalysatoren erwies sich Wolframhexachlorid in Verbindung mit Diethylalumiumethoxid als der geeignetste. Mit diesem System verlief die Polymerisation auch bei großen Monomer/Wolfram-Verhältnissen (10200 :1) hochselektiv und führte zu großen Umsätzen (≥82%).

    Notizen: The dependence of dilution on the chain propagation and termination rate constants was investigated in the polymerization of ethyl acrylate in benzene solution at 50°C, with the rotating sector method. The errors of the above rate constants were determined and, by our method applied to decrease these errors, the errors of the propagation rate constant was reduced to its half value. By the application of our earlier results in polymerization kinetics, we found that in this system the chain propagation step is exclusively responsible for the solvent effects observed. Our experimental results can be quantitatively described in terms of the hot redical theory.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Durch gemeinsame Reaktion von Benzophenontetracarbonsäuredianhydrid, Maleinsäureanhydrid und Diaminen mit 1,3,5-Triazingruppen wurden niedermolekulare Prepolymere mit Amin-Endgruppen erhalten, die sowohl 1,3,5-Triazingruppen als auch Etherbindungen enthalten. Diese reaktiven Prepolymeren sind in niedrigsiedenden Lösemitteln wie z. B. Chloroform und Tetrahydrofuran löslich. Sie wurden durch Elementaranalyse, IR- und NMR-Spektroskopie, Dampfdruckosmometrie und Viskosimetrie charakterisiert. Beim Erhitzen der Prepolymeren auf Temperaturen zwischen 180 und 190°C tritt Kettenverlängerung durch Michael-Addition auf; gleichzeitig vernetzen sie durch Reaktion der Amin- mit den Maleimid-Endgruppen. Die vernetzten Polymeren sind thermisch stabil; ihr thermisches Verhalten wurde durch TGA, DTA und isotherme Alterung untersucht. Die Biegefestigkeit und interlaminare Scherfestigkeit von aus den Prepolymeren und Carbonfasergeweben hergestellten Laminaten wurden gemessen.
    Notizen: Low molecular weight amine-terminated monomaleimide prepolymers containing 1,3,5-triazine groups as well as ether linkages were synthesized by reacting benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride, diamines having 1,3,5-triazine group and maleic anhydride. These reactive prepolymers are soluble in low boiling solvents such as chloroform, tetrahydrofuran etc. They were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopy, vapour pressure osmometry, and viscosity. On heating at 180-190°C these prepolymers undergo simultaneous chain extension by Michael addition reaction and crosslinking by mutual reaction between their amine-terminated and maleimide-terminated ends. The cured polymers are thermostable and the thermal behaviour was studied by TGA, DTA, and isothermal aging. Laminates fabricated using these prepolymers and carbon fiber as reinforcing agent were evaluated by their flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Ein Epoxidharz wurde durch Reaktion mit Anilin bzw. Benzylamin in unterschiedlichen molaren Verhältnissen modifiziert. Die modifizierten Harze wurden dann mit Diethylamin und anschließend mit teilblockiertem Toluylendiisocyanat umgesetzt, wobei thermisch vernetzbare Harze mit tertiären Aminen in und am Ende der Polymerkette erhalten wurden. Die partielle Ansäuerung mit Essigsäure lieferte thermisch vernetzbare kationische Harze, aus denen durch Lösen in geeigneten Lösungsmitteln und Zugabe von entionisiertem Wasser Emulsionen hergestellt wurden. Diese wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung zur elektrolytischen Abscheidung untersucht und verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Abscheidungsausbeute und das Streuvermögen der Emulsionen aus Benzylamin-modifizierten Epoxidharzen besser sind als die der Anilin-modifizierten Epoxidemulsionen. Ein hohes, vom pH-Wert der Emulsion abhängiges Streuvermögen ist für diese kationischen Harze charakteristisch.
    Notizen: Aniline/benzylamine-modified epoxy resins with different molecular weights, which contain tertiary amines in the middle of the polymer chain, were synthesized by the reaction of aniline/benzylamine with epoxy resin at various molar ratios. The resulting aniline/benzylamine-modified epoxy resins were reacted with diethylamine and subsequently reacted with 2-ethylhexanol-blocked toluene diisocyanate to obtain thermally crosslinkable resins which contain tertiary amines at the end and in the middle of the polymer chain. These resins were partially neutralixed with acetic acid to give thermally crosslinkable cationic resins. The resulting cationic resins were dissolved in suitable solvents and mixed with deionized water to form various emulsions. The emulsion and electrodeposition properties of these resins were studied in some detail to compare the properties of these cationic resins. The results show that the deposition yields and throwing power of the emulsions prepared from benzylaminemodified epoxy resins are higher than those of the emulsions prepared from anilinemodified epoxy resins. The emulsion having proper pH values can give a high throwing power. High throwing power is the characteristic property of these modified cationic resins. Factors determining the throwing power and deposition yield of the emulsions were also investigated.

The density and the increase of mass in humid atmosphere were always found to be less when the wood was thermally treated. On the other hand, the hardness of the composites made from natural poplar was much higher. The mechanical properties were found to be weak when the wood was retified.When the wood was thermally treated, it was possible to optimise the three parameters, namely, density, water retention capacity and mechanical properties. The optimal granulometry of poplar was determined between 0.75 and 1.5 mm.The results obtained are discussed considering the physico-chemical properties of the different varieties of wood studied and the interactions which exist between the polar resin and the wood.
    Notizen: Divers matériaux composites à base de peuplier rétifié ou naturel et de résine polyester insaturée ont été préparés par moulage. L'influence de la granulométrie de la charge a été étudiée sur quelques propriétés physico-chimiques (densité, reprise d'humidité, dureté) ou mécaniques des matériaux obtenus. La densité et la reprise de masse en milieu humide sont toujours plus faibles si la charge est traitée thermiquement sous atmosphère inerte. Par contre, la dureté des composites issus du peuplier naturel est plus importante. Les propriétés mécaniques sont inférieures si la charge est rétifitée.Si la charge lignocellulosique est traitée thermiquement, il est possible d'optimiser les trois paramètres: densité, reprise d'eau et propriétés mécaniques; la granulométrie optimale du peuplier est ainsi comprise entre 0,75 et 1,5 mm.Les résultats obtenus sont expliqués en tenant compte des propriétés physico-chimiques des charges et des interactions existant entre la résine polaire et le bois.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht das Wasserdurchlässigkeitsverhalten von vier Arten verschieden modifizierter Chitosanmembranen zur Abtrennung von Wasser aus wäßrigen Ethanolmischungen. Chitosan wurde aus Chitin von Krebstierschalen durch Verseifung (Deacetylierung) gewonnen. Die in dieser Arbeit untersuchten modifizierten Chitosanmembranen enthielten Carboxymethyl-, Carboxyethyl-, Cyanethyl- und Amidoxim-Chitosan. Die Einführung hydrophiler funktioneller Gruppen in der 6-O Position des Chitosans erhöht die Selektivität der modifizierten Membranen im Vergleich zu den mit Essigsäure komplexierten Chitosanmembranen. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, daß Chitosanmembranen, die Carboxygruppen enthalten, die höchste Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit aufweisen. Carboxymethyl-Chitosanmembranen zeigen eine maximale Quellung und den höchsten Ethanoldurchfluß bei einer Ethanolkonzentration von ca. 15 Gew.-% im Zulauf aufgrund von Bindungs- und Weichmachereffekten.
    Notizen: The present study investigates the pervaporation performance of four kinds of modified chitosan membranes to separate water from aqueous ethanol solution. Chitosan was prepared from chitin abstracted from the crab shell and subsequently deacetylated with aqueous NaOH solution. Modified chitosan membranes examined in this study include carboxymethyl chitosan, carboxyethyl chitosan, cyanoethyl chitosan, and amidoxime chitosan. The incorporation of hydrophilic functional groups into the 6-O position of chitosan enhances the selectivity of modified chitosan membrane compared to the previously reported chitosan-acetic acid complex membrane. Among the modified chitosan membranes, membranes containing carboxy groups show the best pervaporation performance. Carboxymethyl chitosan membranes show the maximum swelling and ethanol flux at approx. 15 wt.-% feed ethanol concentration due to the coupling and plasticizing effect.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: The tensile properties of self reinforced poly(propylene)/poly(1-butene) composites, obtained by rapid extension of the melt, have been measured and correlated to morphological parameters derived from x-ray experiments. Critical fiber lengths as a function of sample composition and the elastic modulus and yield stress of the fibers could be determined. It is shown, that, applying a load to the system, the forces are fully taken up by the fibers and the system breaks by fail of the fibers. The longitudinal structure of the fibers is found to be independent of sample composition.
    Notizen: Mechanische Parameter wie Elastizitätsmodul, Fliß- und Bruchspannung von aus der hochorientierten Schmelze hergestellten nadelkristallinen Mischungen aus Poly(propylen) und Poly(1-bute) wurden mit morphologischen Parametern, die aus Röntgenmessungen abgeleitet wurden, korreliert. Es wird gezeigt, daß der Elastizitätsmodul des Verbundes aus den E-Moduln der Fasern und der Matrix berechnet werden kann (Mischungsregel). Die an der Probe angreifenden Kräfte werden voll auf die Fasern übertragen; der Verbund kann daher als eigenfaserverstärktes System angesehen werden. Die Abschätzung der kritischen Faserlänge ergibt, daß die Festigkeit der FAsern voll ausgenutzt wird; der Bruch des Systems bei Belastung ist daher auf das Versagen der Fasern zurückzuführen. Das mechanische Verhalten des Verbundes wird stark beeinflußt durch die Komponentenzusammensetzung. Die longitudinale Struktur der Nadeln beider Komponenten bleibt unbeeinflußt von der jeweiligen Co-Komponente.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Lösliche kationische Polyelektrolyte mit quartären Stickstoffatomen in der Hauptkette wurden durch Polykondensation von Epichlorhydrin (ECH) mit Dimethylamin (DMA) und N,N-Dialkylaminoakylaminen erhalten. Die Reaktionsparameter, die die Polymereigenschaften hauptsächlich beeinflussen, sind: Molverhältnis DMA/asymmetrische Diamine, Ausgangskonzentration der Aminlösung, Molverhältnis ECH/Amine und die Struktur der asymmetrischen Diamine. Das viskosimetrische Verhalten verdünnter wäßriger Lösungen mit oder ohne Zugabe neutraler Salze veranschaulicht die flexible Natur der Polyelektrolyten.
    Notizen: Water soluble cationic polyelectrolytes containing quaternary nitrogen atoms within the main chain were prepared via condensation polymerization of epichlorohydrin (ECH) with dimethylamine (DMA) and N,N-dialkylaminoalkylamines. The main parameters of the reaction that influence the polymer properties are: DMA/asymmetrical diamine molar ratio, the initial concentration of amine solution, NaOH/amine molar ratio, ECH/amine molar ratio, and asymmetrical diamine structure. The feature of flexible polyelectrolyte own to the investigated polymers was emphasized by the viscosimetric behaviour in dilute aqueous solutions with and without salt presence.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Antioxidantien wurden in einer modifizierten Friedel-Crafts-Reaktion mit wasserfreiem Zinkchlorid als Katalysator an Flüssig-Naturkautschuk mit Hydroxy-Endgruppen gebunden. Die immobilisierten Antioxidantien waren weniger flüchtig und extrahierbar als konventionelle Antioxidantien. Sie wurden sowohl einem Latex als auch trockenem Kautschuk zugesetzt; die daraus hergestellten Vulkanisate zeigten eine bessere Alterungsbeständigkeit als Vulkanisate mit konventionellen Antioxidantien.
    Notizen: Antioxidants were attached to hydroxy-terminated liquid natural rubber by modified Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction using anhydrous zinc chloride as catalyst. The rubber bound antioxidants were found to be less volatile and less extractable compared to conventional antioxidants. The bound antioxidants were tried both in latex compounds and dry rubber compounds. The vulcanizates showed improved ageing resistance compared to vulcanizates based on conventional antioxidants.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Strom-Spannungs-Charakteristik eines Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonats im Span-nungsbereich 50-1000 V und der Einfluß von UV-Bestrahlung (λ = 225 und 300 nm) und Tempern auf die elektrische Leitfähigkeit (σ) des Polycarbonats wurden untersucht. Die Abhängigkeit von σ gegen 1/T deutet auf zwei verschiedene Leitfähigkeits-mechanismen hin. Aus den Ergebnissen wurden die Aktivierungsenergien der Leitfähigkeit und die Sprungdistanzen berechnet.
    Notizen: Current-voltage characteristics of polycarbonate samples (PC) have been studied in the voltage range 50-1000 V. The effect of UV-irradiation at λ = 225 and 300 nm, and thermal annealing on the electrical conductivity (σ) of PC was studied. The σ vs. 1/T relationship shows two slopes, i.e. two possible conduction mechanisms. The obtained results made it possible to determine a complete set of conduction parameters including activation energy and jump distance.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Durch Suspensionspolymerisation wurden Terpolymere aus Acrylnitril (AN), Vinylacetat (VA) (7,5-30 mol-%, bezogen auf AN) und Divinylbenzol (DVB) (10 Gew.-%) hergestellt. Als Verdünner wurden Mischungen von Toluol oder Cyclohexanol (90 Vo1.-%) mit Hexadecan, Octan, Dodecan, 2-Ethylhexanol oder Benzylalkohol (jeweils 10 Vo1.-%) verwendet.Die Porosität der AN-VA-DVB-Terpolymeren ist mit 0,61-0,68 größer als die der entsprechenden AN-DVB-Copolymeren. Die übermolekulare Struktur der Terpolymeren hängt vom verwendeten Verdünner ab, obwohl sich die Porositäten nicht sehr voneinander unterscheiden. Die beim Erhitzen der Terpolymeren auf Temperaturen über 200°C auftretenden thermischen Effekte sind signifikant größer als die bei der Cyclisierung von AN-Polymeren gemessenen.
    Notizen: Terpolymers of acrylonitrile (AN), vinyl acetate (VA) (7.5-30 mol-%, related to AN), and divinylbenzene (DVB) (10 wt.-%) were prepared by suspension polymerization. The diluents used were mixtures of toluene or cyclohexanol (90 vol.-%) with solvents (10 vol.-%) such as hexadecane (HD), octane (O), dodecane (D), 2-ethylhexanol (E) or benzyl alcohol (B).It has been found that AN-VA-DVB terpolymers have a higher porosity, about 0.61-0.68, than corresponding AN-DVB copolymers. The terpolymers obtained with mixtures of various diluents differ in their supermolecular structure although they had similar porosity characteristics.The thermal effects accompanying heating of the terpolymers above 200°C significantly exceed that of nitrile groups cyclization observed of the other AN polymers.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wird ein allgemeines numerisches Verfahren vorgestellt, um die Modifikation der Grundgleichung für hydrodynamische Schmierung, die von mit Polymeren versetzten Schmierölen mit scherabhängiger Viskosität erbracht wird, zu berechnen.Das Verfahren basiert auf dem verallgemeinerten Newtonschen Fileßmodell und erlaubt, alle Fileßregionen zwischen dem rein Newtonschen und dem Exponentialgesetzverhalten kontinuierlich zu behandeln. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß der Einfluß der scherspannungsabhängigen Viskosität durch eine dimensionslose Zahl vollkommen charakterisiert wird, nämlich U · τ*/h*, wobei U die relative Gleitgeschwindigkeit, h* die charakteristische Filmdicke und τ* die Relaxationszeit des Schmieröles darstellen.Als praktisches Beispiel wird die Anwendung des Verfahrens aufgezeigt, um den Einfluß des Molekulargewichts und der Konzentration der Polymerkomponente des Schmieröls auf die hydrodynamische Schmierung zu bestimmen. Dieser Einfluß ist durch die starke Beziehung zwischen Polymereigenschaften und τ* verursacht.
    Notizen: A general numerical procedure is presented to calculate the modification of the basic equation for hydrodynamic lubrication brought about by the use of polymeric fluids with shear depending viscosity. The procedure is based on the generalized Newtonian fluid model and allows to treat continuously all the flow regions between the pure Newtonian and the power law behavior. The results show that the influence of the viscosity depending on shear stress is completely characterized by one dimensionless number, namely U.·τ*/h*, where U is the relative sliding velocity, h* is the characteristic film thickness, and τ* is a characteristic time of the lubricant. The procedure is exemplified by applying it for the determination of the influence of the molecular weight and concentration of the polymeric component of the lubricant on the hydrodynamic lubrication. This influence is brought about by the strong relation between the polymer properties and τ*.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Morphologien von spritzgegossenem und formgepreßtem Poly(1-buten) (PB-1) wurden im Polarisationsmikroskop und im Transmissionselektronenmikroskop untersucht. Eine dünne Oberflächenhaut und bis in den Kern der Probekörper reichende abgeplattet-sphärolithische Strukturen werden bei spritzgegossenem PB-1 beobachtet, während in formgepreßtem PB-1 typische Sphärolithe vorliegen. Das Bruchbild des spritzgegossenen PB-1 zeigt unter der Oberflächenhaut viele aufgereihte streifenartige Hohlräume, die senkrecht zur Spritzrichtung zur Mitte des Probekörpers wachsen. Aus diesen Beobachtungen kann geschlossen werden, daß eine beim Spritzgießen durch den Schmelzefluß induzierte Scherspannung nicht nur die Entstehung der Oberflächenhaut verursacht, sondern auch bis in die Mitte des Probekörpers hinein die Bildung abgeplatteter Sphärolithe bewirkt. Diese abgeplattet-sphärolithischen Strukturen sind für die beim Dehnen des spritzgegossenen PB-1 entstehenden, streifenartigen Hohlräume verantwortlich, während die Oberflächenhaut und die abgeplatteten Sphärolithe im Kern die Sprödigkeit und die im Vergleich zu formgepreßtem PB-1 geringere Bruchdehnung bewirken. Diese kann durch Tempern oberhalb des Schmelzpunktes erhöht werden.
    Notizen: The injection-molded poly(1-butene) (PB-1) is found to be more brittle than the compression-molded PB-1. The morphologies of these specimens are examined by use of polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A skin layer and an oblate spherulitic structure extended to the core region are observed in the injection-molded PB-1, while typical spherulites exist in the compression-molded PB-1. Below the skin layer of the injection-molded PB-1, the fracture surface is found to consist of many aligned strip-like voids with ribbon edges propagating to the center of the specimen and perpendicular to the flow direction of injection-molding. Based on these observations, it can be inferred that shear stress induced by the melt flow during the injection-molding does not only cause the formation of skin layer, but also penetrates deeply into the central region of the injection-molded specimen causing the formation of oblate spherulites. The oblate spherulitic structure is responsible for the aligned voids during elongation of PB-1, while the existence of the skin layer and the oblate spherulites in core region is responsible for the brittleness of the injection-molded PB-1. The elongation of the injection-molded PB-1 is found to be lower than that of the compression-molded. This can be attributed not only to the presence of the skin layer but also to the oblate spherulites in the core region. The elongation can be improved by annealing at a temperature above the melting point of PB-1.

The resins thus obtained have been characterized by IR spectra and number average molecular weight. The thermal properties have been studied by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. All the resins were tested for their biological activity against Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger. The results show that the growth of the tested organisms can be controlled by the polyketone resins.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: In der Arbeit wurde die homogene Polyaddition von Pyromellitsäuredianhydrid und 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethan untersucht. Die Abhängigkeit des zahlenmittleren Molekulargewichts (M̄n) von der Zeit weist ein Maximum auf. Die Ursache der niedrigen Gleichgewichtswerte von M̄n beruht auf einer durch Wasserspuren im Lösungsmittel verursachten Dianhydridhydrolyse und damit einer gestörten Äquimolarität der funktionellen Gruppen. Im Laufe der Stabilisierung des M̄n-Gleichgewichtswertes entsteht auch die wahrscheinlichste Molmassenverteilung.
    Notizen: The homogeneous polyaddition reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane was investigated. The dependence of the number average molecular weights on time has a maximum; low equilibrium values of M̄n are caused by a disturbed equimolarity of functional groups due to the hydrolysis of dianhydride with water present in the solvent. In the course of establishment of the equilibrium M̄n value, the molecular weight distribution changes to the most probable value.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Das Phasen- und Mischbarkeitsverhalten der binären und ternären Polymermischungen von Polyarylat (PAR), Phenoxid und Poly(butylenterephthalat) (PBT) wurde untersucht. Die Mischungen wurden durch Ausfällen aus gemeinsamen Lösungen hergestellt, und die Mischbarkeit wurde durch DSC-Messungen und Transparenz der Schmelze beurteilt. Im Falle der binären Blends zeigten PAR/PBT und Phenoxid/PBT Mischbarkeit, während sich PAR/Phenoxid nicht mischen ließ. Die Mischbarkeitstendenz der unmischbaren PAR/Phenoxid-Mischungen konnte jedoch durch Zugabe von PBT erhöht werden; eine ausreichende Menge PBT machte die ternären Mischungen mischbar, so daß diese eine einzige Tg in der DSC-Kurve zeigten. Im ternären Phasendiagramm war das Maximum der Mischbarkeitsgrenze in Richtung auf die Phenoxidseite hin verschoben, was auf die bessere Mischbarkeit von PAR/PBT im Vergleich zu Phenoxid/PBT zurückgeführt wird.
    Notizen: The phase and miscibility behavior of binary and ternary blends containing polyarylate (PAR), polyhydroxyether of bisphenol AIUPAC: poly[oxy(2-hydroxytrimethylene)oxy-1,4-phenylene-isopropylidene-1,4-phenylene]. (Phenoxy), and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were studied. The blends were prepared by solution-precipitation method and miscibility was examined by DSC and melt transparency. In binary blends, PAR/PBT and Phenoxy/PBT blends show miscibility, while PAR/Phenoxy appeared to be immiscible. However, the miscibility of incompatible PAR/Phenoxy blend was enhanced by addition of PBT. The addition of sufficient amount of PBT caused the ternary blend to have a single glass transition temperature. The shape of miscibility boundary of ternary blend was skewed to the apex of Phenoxy, which was attributed to the better miscibility of PAR/PBT than that of Phenoxy/PBT.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Festphasen-Polykondensation von amorphen, unorientierten Poly(ethylenterephthalat)-Folien (PET) (Vorstufe der Du Pont Mylar® -Polyesterfilme), die mit einem speziellen Katalysator-und Monomer-System hergestellt wurden, war Gegenstand dieser Arbeit. Der Einfluß verschiedener Reaktionsparameter, wie Reaktionstemperatur und -zeit, auf die inhärente Viskosität (ηinh) und auf die Anzahl der Carboxy-und Hydroxy-Endgruppen wurde untersucht. Aus den Messungen von ηinh wurde eine empirische Gleichung erstellt, die die Berechnung von M̄n der PET-Folien nach der Festphasen-Polykondensation bei gegebener Zeit und Temperatur erlaubt. Das Schmelzverhalten verschiedener Festphasen-Polykondensate wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notizen: The solid-state polycondensation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) amorphous and unoriented films from Du Pont (precursor for their Mylar® Du Pont's registered trade mark for the polyester film. polyester film) prepared from a specified catalyst and monomer system has been studied. The effect of various reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and time on inherent viscosity (ηinh) and number of carboxy and hydroxy end-groups has been investigated. From ηinh measurements an empirical equation was taken which allows the calculation of (M̄n) of PET film after solid-state polycondensation at a certain temperature and time. The melting behaviour of the solid-state polycondensated samples was also studied.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Sphärische makroporöse Partikel, die als Trägermaterialen für verschiedene Säulen-Operationen eingesetzt werden sollen, wurden mittels Suspensions- und Mikrosuspensionspolymerisation von Trimethylolpropan-trimethacrylat (TRIM) in Gegenwart verschiedener Mengen porogener Reagenzien (Toluol bzw. Mischungen von Toluol und Isooktan) hergestellt. Textur und Eigenschaften der Partikel variierten deutlich mit dem Anteil und der Zusammensetzung des porogenen Reagens und wurden zusätzlich durch die Wahl des Suspensionstabilisators beeinflußt. Die makroporösen Partikel wiesen ein Gesamtporenvolumen von 0,4 bis 3,6 cm3/g und eine spezifische Oberfläche von 7 bis 〉 450 m2/g auf. Alle Partikel enthielten Makroporen und, außer den Teilchen mit sehr niedriger spezifischer Oberfläche, einen gewissen Anteil an Mikroporen (Durchmesser 〈 60 Å). Durch Erniedrigung der Monomerkonzentration und Erhöhung des Isooktan-Gehaltes im porogenen Reagens auf 50 Gew.-% konnte das Auftreten von Mikroporen vollständig unterdrückt werden. Das Erhöhen des Isooktan-Gehaltes führte zu einem vergrößerten Gesamtporenvolumen und zu einem verringerten Quellvermögen der Polymermatrix in Toluol. Der Einfluß einer Hitzebehandlung bei 130°C und eines Aufpfropfens von Polymethylmethacrylat auf die Partikeleigenschaften wurde ebenfalls untersucht.Die Menge an nicht umgesetzten Doppelbindungen in den Partikeln konnte durch Variation der Polymerisationstemperatur verändert werden. Das Vorhandensein leicht zugänglicher Doppelbindungen ist wichtig, da sie zur Funktionalisierung der festen makroporösen Partikel verwendet werden können.
    Notizen: Spherical macroporous particles, intended for use as carrier particles in various types of column operations, were prepared by suspension and microsuspension polymerization of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM), in the presence of various amounts of porogenic agents (toluene or mixtures of toluene and isooctane). The texture and properties of the particles varied markedly with the amount and composition of the porogenic agent, and were also affected by the choice of suspension stabilizer. Macroporous particles were prepared, ranging in total pore volume from 0.4 to 3.6 cm3/g, and in specific surface area from 7 to 〉450 m2/g. All of the particles contained macropores, and except for those with very low specific surface area, contained a certain fraction of micropores (diameter 〈60 Å). The presence of micropores could be eliminated completely by decreasing the monomer concentration and increasing the isooctane content of the porogenic agent to 50 wt.-%. Increasing the isooctane content also resulted in an increase in the total pore volume and a decrease in the tendency of the polymer matrix to swell in toluene. The effect on properties of particles by heat treatment at 130°C and by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) onto the particles was also studied.The amount of unreacted double bonds of the particles could be varied by varying the polymerization temperature. The presence of easily accessible double bonds is important as they can be utilized for functionalization of the rigid macroporous particles.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Eine einfache Methode für die Bestimmung der Grenzflächenhaftung in kurzfaserverstärkten Polymeren, beruhend auf der Längenverteilung von aus der Bruchfläche herausgezogenen Faserteilen, wurde entwickelt. Die Messungen mit Faserverbundwerkstoffen von isotaktischem Polypropylen mit 32 Gew.-% Kurzglasfasern bestätigen die Brauchbarkeit dieser Methode für eine empfindliche Beurteilung von Unterschieden in der Grenzflächenhaftung. Die Einflüsse von Temperatur, Polymer- und Glasfasermodifizierung sowie Faserorientierung auf die Grenzflächenhaftung wurden untersucht.
    Notizen: For the evaluation of the interfacial adhesion in short-fibre composites, a simple method based on fibre pull-out length distribution was proposed. The experiments with three composites of isotactic polypropylene with 32 wt.-% of short-glass fibres confirm the potentials of the method for a sensitive determination of differences in the interfacial adhesion. The effects of temperature, crystallinity and fibre orientation angle on the interfacial adhesion were investigated.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: PE und EPDM-Kautschuk wurden durch Aufpfropfen von Dibutylmaleat (DBM) mit Dicumylperoxid (DCP) als Initiator in Substanz im Temperaturbereich von 140-220°C funktionalisiert. Der Pfropfungsgrad wurde IR-spektroskopisch und durch DSC-Messungen ermittelt. Die für die Pfropfung optimalen DBM- und DCP-Konzentrationen betragen 0,5 bzw. 0,2 Gew.-%. Die Kinetik der Pfropfreaktion ist für PE und EPDM vergleichbar; die Aktivierungsenergien betragen ca. 145 bzw. 130 kJ/mol. Die Pfropfungsgrade sind für PE höher als für EPDM; bei PE/EPDM-Blends steigt der Pfropfungsgrad mit zunehmendem PE-Anteil. Ein Pfropfungsmechanismus, der Nebenreaktionen berucksichtigt, wird vorgeschlagen.
    Notizen: Functionalization of polyethylene (PE) and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) in the bulk through dicumyl peroxide (DCP) initiated grafting of dibutyl maleate (DBM) has been studied in the temperature range from 140 to 200°C. The degree of grafting has been determined by infrared spectrophotometry and DSC. The concentration of DBM and DCP has been optimized. 0.5 wt.-% and 0.2 wt.-% DCP for PE and EPDM, respectively, and 10% DBM for both have been found to be the optimum. The kinetics of the grafting reaction is comparable for PE and EPDM. The activation energy of grafting is ca. 145 kJ/mol for PE and ca. 130 kJ/mol for EPDM. The influence of structure of polyolefins on the degree of grafting has also been studied. A higher degree of grafting is obtained for PE than for EPDM. For PE/EPDM blends, the degree of grafting increases with increasing PE content in the blends. A through discussion and proposed mechanism for grafting and other competitive secondary reactions has been provided.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von gehärteten Epoxidharzen, gefüllt mit porösen Siliciumdioxid-Mikrokugeln mit unterschiedlichen spezifischen Oberflächen, Porenradien, Porenvolumina und adsorbierter Wassermenge, wurde untersucht. Die Glasubergangstemperaturten (Tg) der Composite sind 12-14°C niedriger als die des ungefullten Harzes, was auf die bevorzugte Adsorption von Härter an den porösen Mikrokugeln zurückgeführt wird. Mit zunehmender adsorbierter Wassermenge steigt die Tg der Composite an. Der Speichermodul ist mit der mit Quecksilber bestimmten spezifischen Oberfläche (Hg-Oberfläche) der Mikrokugeln, die der Summe der Oberfläche von Poren mit einem Durchmesser größer als 4 nm entspricht, korreliert.Das Verbältnis tan δc/tan δm nimmt mit zunehmender Hg-Oberfläche ab.
    Notizen: Dynamic mechanical properties were studied for epoxy resin filled with porous silica microballoons with varying surface area, pore radius, pore volume and adsorbed water. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composites is 12-14°C lower than the Tg of the unfilled epoxy resin. This Tg depression is attributed to the preferential adsorption of curing agents on the porous silica microballoons. Tg of the composite increases with increase in the adsorbed water on fillers. The storage modulus has a distinct correlation with the Hg-surface area of silica microballoons, which corresponds to the sum of the surface area of pores with radii larger than about 4 nm.Tan δc tan δm decreases with increasing Hg-surface area.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Membranen aus Blends von Nylon 6 mit Poly(acrylsäure) (PAA) mit PAA-Gehalten zwischen 25 und 45 Gew.-% wurden durch Filmgießen hergestellt und anschließend durch Eintauchen in eine Aluminiumsalzlösung ionisch vernetzt. Die Glasübergangstemperaturen (Tg) der Membranen wurden mit der DSC-Methode bestimmt. Alle Proben zeigen eine einzige Tg oberhalb der Tg der Homopolymeren, die sich mit zunehmender Scanzeit verschiebt; dies wird auf die Eliminierung von Wasser und die Bildung von Anhydriden im nicht vernetzten PAA-Anteil zurückgeführt.Die Morphologie wurde rasterelektronenmikroskopisch untersucht; die Membranen zeigen eine dichte, porenfreie Struktur ohne Phasenseparation, was auf eine völlige Mischbarkeit der beiden Homopolymeren im untersuchten Zusammensensetzungsbereich schließen läßt. Die Festigkeit der Membranen liegt je nach PAA-Gehalt zwischen 5 und 26 MPa; Membranen mit hohem PAA-Anteil zeigen trotz höherer Vernetzungsdichte eine geringere Zugfestigkeit, was mit der geringen Festigkeit von PAA und der mit größerem PAA-Anteil zunehmenden Quellung zusammenhängt. Letztere wurde durch Messen der Wasseraufnahme trockener Membranen bestimmt; sie steigt von 23,6 Gew.-% bei einem PAA-Gehalt von 25 auf 76,3 Gew.-% bei einem PAA-Gehalt von 45 Gew.-%.
    Notizen: Ionically crosslinked blended membranes were prepared from blends of nylon 6 and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with the proportion of PAA ranging from 25 to 45 wt.-%. The technique consists of casting a film of the blend, followed by drying and immersion in an aluminum salt crosslinking solution for a predetermined time. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the membranes was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All the samples exhibited a single Tg, which is higher than that of either polymer. There is also a shift in the Tg with increasing scanning time. This phenomenon is attributed to the elimination of water molecules and the formation of anhydrides in the non-crosslinked PAA portion of the membrane. The membrane morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and shows a dense structure without any pores. No phase separation is observed by scanning cross-sections of the samples, indicating that nylon 6 and PAA are completely miscible in the ranges studied. The membrane material strength lies in the range of 5 to 26 MPa and varies with the amount of PAA in the membrane. Samples with higher PAA content show lower tensile strength in spite of increased crosslinking density. This is due to the inherent low strength of PAA, coupled with increasing swelling of the membrane with increasing PAA content. The latter is confirmed by the measurement of water uptake into a dry membrane which increases from 23.6% to 76.3% with the membrane PAA content increasing from 25 to 45 wt.%.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Practically no adhesion is observed at the interface poly(tetrafluoroethylene)/glass fiber. We have investigated methods to improve adhesion between these interfaces. We have also discussed the question of possible reinforcement, i.e. increase of tensile strength and a simultaneous decrease of elongation.In this first part we present some calculations demonstrating the prerequisites for reinforcement using existing theoretical models. We describe the influence of modification of the glass fiber surface by dispersion coating or by plasma polymerization.In a second part the influence of polymer surface modification and of additives will be dealt with.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Due to the very strong variation of the viscosity of the reaction mass with increasing monomer conversion, three stationary states for the tubes of a multitubular system with cooling vessel can be found. As a consequence, a maldistribution of the fluid arises, so that the reactor stability and the polymer quality are negatively influenced. The recycling of the reaction mass is a helpful method to increase the reactor stability. In this paper some fundamental aspects of the use of multitubular reactors for the polymerization of styrene are studied.
    Notizen: Infolge der sich mit steigendem Monomerumsatz stark verändernden Viskosität der Reaktionsmasse existieren im Multirohrreaktor mit Kühlung mindestens drei stationaäre Punkte bezüglich des Einzelrohrmassenstromes gleichzeitig. Als Konsequenz ergibt sich eine Ungleichverteilung der Rohrbelastung, die sowohl die Reaktorstabilität als auch die Polymerqualität negativ beeinflußt. Das Betreiben einer Rückführung kann das Reaktorverhalten stabilisieren. In der vorgelegten Arbeit werden einige fundamentale Aspekte der Anwendung von Multirohrreaktoren für die Massepolymerisation von Styrol untersucht.

    Notizen: Heteronuclear multispin coherence proton-detected two-dimensional nmr spectroscopic experiments were used to obtain information on protonated carbons and nitrogens of the self-complementary d (G-G-T-A-T-A-C-C) and d (G-G-A-A-T-T-C-C) duplexes, with and without the drug netropsin dissolved in aqueous solution. Many correlations of protons coupled to 13C nuclei on the base and sugar rings of the octanucleotides were detected, allowing the carbon resonances to be assigned based on previous homonuclear proton two-dimensional nmr studies. Imino nitrogen assignments can also be made using the proton assignments from previous one-dimensional nuclear overhauser effect experiments. Imino nitrogen shifts may be useful indicators of changes in local hydrogen-bonding interactions to base-pair edges.

    Notizen: Polyriboadenylates of alkali metals were obtained from (1) K+-poly(A) (salts I) and (2) H+-poly( A) (salts II) by the ion-exchange method. The conductivity of these salts as well as of H+-poly(A) were studied. Salts I and II of the same counterion were shown to have significantly different conductivity coefficients (f) and polyion conductances (λp0). The charge density parameter (ζ) was 1.3 and 2.5, respectively, with λp0 equal to 44 and 83 ohm-1 cm2 mole-1 for poly(A)-I and poly (A)-II salts, respectively. This is credited to the difference in the conformations of corresponding polyions. The linear dependence of equivalent conductivity on the square root of polymer concentration (Kohlrausch coordinates), earlier obtained for DNA, is also satisfied for the studied polynucleotides. A comparison of the slopes of straight lines in Kohlrausch coordinates for poly(A), simple electrolytes, and for earlier studied polyribouridylic acid salts lends credence to the concepts, developed by a number of authors, that DNA can act as a “buffer” against the ion-ion interaction in concentrated electrolyte solutions. Using the approximation that the polyion conductance is independent of the counterion nature, parameter f (agreeing in this case with Eisenberg parameter φ) has been shown to decrease as the polynucleotide concentration is increased; the decrease is caused by the relaxation effect. The transference numbers of counterions, which have negative values in poly (A)-II solutions, grow with the increase in polymer concentration; the higher the ζ, the more apparent is this increase. This is explained by the increase in the fraction of conductivity along the polyion chains (“surface” conductivity) with the growth of polyelectrolyte concentration.

    Notizen: Binding of the hydrophobia fluorescent probe, 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS), to synthetic polypeptides and proteins with a different structural organization has been studied. It has been shown that ANS has a much stronger affinity to the protein “molten globule” state, with a pronounced secondary structure and compactness, but without a tightly packed tertiary structure as compared with its affinity to the native and coil-like proteins, or to coil-like, α-helical, or β-structural hydrophilic homopolypeptides.The possibility of using ANS for the study of equilibrium and kinetic molten globule intermediates is demonstrated, with carbonic anhydrase, β-lactamase, and α-lactalbumin as examples.

    Notizen: We employ a mean field, modified, self-consistent phonon theory to evaluate the single base-pair opening rate and the probability of a base pair in the amino proton exchangeable state for the homopolymer poly(dA) · poly(dT) at temperatures below the helix-coil transition region. Our calculated premelting single base-pair opening probabilities are in general agreement with several available experimental estimates from imino proton exchange and formaldehyde-induced DNA melting measurements. These calculated opening probabilities, however, are in disagreement with the prediction of the helix-coil transition theory. Possible reasons for the differences are discussed, especially the possible different definition of a meaningful open state in the premelting region. The premelting open state of the modified self-consistent phonon approximation theory seems to be appropriate to describe a solvent-accessible open configuration that is sufficient to facilitate important chemical reactions such as imino proton exchange and formaldehyde reaction with the bases. This can be compared with the completely unstacked open state of the helix-coil transition theory originally defined in the helix-coil transition region. We propose that the amino proton exchangeable state is different from the open state associated with melting and only involves the breaking of the amino interbase H bond. The agreement between the calculated and experimentally estimated probability of a base pair in the amino proton exchangeable state seems to support this hypothesis.

    Notizen: Results of free electrophoresis and free sedimentation of charged rods are introduced to allow for electrical double-layer effects in the gel electrophoresis of DNA, modeled as a Random flight sequence of rodlike Kuhn chain elements. The kinetics of DNA is shown to depend strongly on the orientation of the chain elements with respect to the external field and with respect to the direction of their velocity. The new theory gives approximate agreement between the DNA charge derived from electrophoresis of free and tethered DNA (close to 1.0e per DNA phosphate in both cases), compared with the earlier discrepancy of a factor 10 or 20 for the theory without shielding by salt. As part of a realistic force field for macromolecular dynamics simulation, the small ion effects are included in an expression for the gel forces restraining the DNA in gel electrophoresis from moving as in free electrophoresis.

    Notizen: The effect of G · T mispair incorporation into a double-helical environment was examined by molecular dynamics simulation. The 60-ps simulations performed on the two hexanucleotide duplexes d (G3C3)2 and d (G3TC2)2 included 10 Na+ counterions and first hydration shell waters. The resulting backbone torsional angle trajectories were analyzed to select time spans representative of conformational domains. The average backbone angles and helical parameters of the last time span for both duplexes are reported. During the simulation the hexamers retained B-type DNA structures that differed from typical A- or B-DNA forms. The overall helical structures for the two duplexes are vary similar. The presence of G · T mispairs did not alter the overall helical structure of the oligonucleotide duplex. Large propeller twist and buckle angles were obtained for both duplexes. The purine/pyrimidine crossover step showed a large decrease in propeller twist in the normal duplex but not in the mismatch duplex. Upon the formation of wobble mispairs in the mismatched duplex, the guanines moved into the minor groove and the thymines moved into the major groove. This helped prevent purine/purine clash and created a deformation in the relative orientation of the glycosidic bonds. It also exposed the free O4 of the thymines in the major groove and N2 of the guanines in the minor groove to interactions with solvent and counterions. These factors seemed to contribute to the apparently higher rigidity of the mismatched duplex during the simulation.

The information about the factors determining the changes in physicochemical parameters vs the hydration was obtained. This work discusses a possible physical sense of the factors obtained and the expedience of using factor analysis to interpret the molecular-biophysical experiments.

When free neutral end groups were used, it was found that conformations that were not α-helical had significantly lower potential energies than fully α-helical ones. However, when the N- and C-termini were blocked by acetyl and methyl amide groups, respectively, the number of unsatisfied hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors at the helix termini was diminished from 8 to 6; in this case, the possibility of forming two additional α-helical hydrogen bonds was an important enough factor in making the α-helical conformation the one with the lowest energy. The EDMC method was used as a global energy optimizer since it does not often become trapped in high-energy local minima.

    Notizen: The structures of the complexes formed in aqueous solution between ditercalinium, a bisintercalating drug, and both the self-complementary tetranucleotide d(GCGC)2 and octanucleotided(CCTATAGG)2, have been investigated by 400-MHz 1H-nmr and 162-MHz 31P-nmr. All the nonexchangeable protons, as well as the exchangeable imino protons and the phosphorus signals, have been assigned. Both oligonucleotides have been shown to adopt a right-handed B-DNA type structure. The addition of ditercalinium to the oligo-nucleotides lead to the formation of complexes in slow exchange at the nmr time scale with the free helices. At all drug-to-helix ratios studied, the ditercalinium was found in the bound form, whereas free and complexed oligonucleotides were in slow exchange, allowing resonance assignments through two-dimensional chemical exchange experiments.For d(GCGC)2 the strong upfield shifts induced on all aromatic protons of both the bases and the drug by complexation with ditercalinium suggest an interaction by intercalation of the two rings. However, the loss of twofold symmetry upon binding, as well as the chemical shift variation of the drug proton signals of one of the chromophores with temperature and concentration, favor a model in which the drug-nucleotide complexes have one ring of the drug intercalated and the other stacked on top of the external base pair. The intermolecular contacts between drug protons and nucleotide protons give a defined geometry for complexation that is consistent with the proposed model.In contrast, with d(CCTATAGG)2 several drug-nucleotide complexes were formed and a large increase in line broadening was observed at high drug-to-DNA ratios, precluding a detailed analysis of these complexes. However, the large upfield shift in the imino proton resonances together with the shielding of the ditercalinium ring protons favor a model with bis-intercalation of ditercalinium. This model is supported by the downfield shift of at least 4 out of 14 phosphorus signals. The results are compared with those obtained on ditercalinium binding to the homologous sequences d(CGCG)2 and d(TTCGCGAA)2, and discussed in terms of sequence specificity.

    Notizen: The synthetic peptide Gly-L-Ala-L-Val (C10H19N3O4·3H2O; GAV) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21, with a = 8.052(2), b = 6.032(2), c = 15.779(7) Å, β = 98.520(1)°, V = 757.8 Å3, Dx = 1.312 g cm-3, and Z = 2. The peptide Gly-L-Ala-L-Leu (C11H21N3O4·3H2O; GAL) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121, with a = 6.024(1), b = 8.171(1), c = 32.791(1) Å, V = 1614 Å3, Dx = 1.289 g cm-3, and Z = 4. Their crystal structures were solved by direct methods using the program SHELXS-86, and refined to an R index of 0.05 for 1489 reflections for GAV and to an R index of 0.05 for 1563 reflections for GAL. The tripeptides exist as a zwitterion in the crystal and assume a near α-helical backbone conformation with the following torsion angles: ψ1 = -150.7°; φ2, ψ2 = -68.7°, -38.1°; φ3, ψ31, ψ32, = -74.8°, -44.9°, 135.9° for GAV; ψ1 = -150.3°; φ2, ψ2 = -67.7°, -38.9°; φ3, ψ31, ψ32 = -72.2°, -45.3°, 137.5°, for GAL. Both the peptide units in both of the tripeptides show significant deviation from planarity [ω1 = -171.3(6)° and ω2 = -172.0(6)° for GAV; ω1 = -171.9(5)° and ω2 = -173.2(6)° for GAL]. The sidechain conformational angles χ21 and χ22 are -61.7(5)° and 175.7(5)°, respectively, for valine, and the side-chain conformations χ12 and χ23's are -68.5(5)° and (-78.4(6)°, 159.1(5)°) respectively, for leucine. Each of the tripeptide molecule is held in a near helical conformation by a water molecule that bridges the NH3+ and COO- groups, and acts as the fourth residue needed to complete the turn by forming two hydrogen bonds. Two other water molecules form intermolecular hydrogen bonds in stabilizing the helical structure so that the end result is a column of molecules that looks like an α-helix.

    Notizen: The effective sphere approximation for modeling electrophoretic transport of macromolecules in highly porous gels (the “Ogston model”) is examined, and contrasted with similar mobility models for stiff and flexible solutes. Calculation of segmental depletion near gel obstacles of various shapes demonstrates the limited applicability of the effective sphere approach. For highly flexible chains, both theory and experiment reveal a nonunique mapping between mobility and molecular size when the molecular radius is comparable to that of gel fibers. Turning to mobility behavior in more concentrated gels, neither flexible or stiff macromolecules behave as spheres; for the particular case of flexible chains, the presence of entropic barriers in concentrated gels can be understood in terms of a simple random planes model for the gel structure.

    Notizen: Differential scanning calorimetry studies of the effect of NaCl on protein-based polymer self-assembly has been carried out on six elastin-based synthetic sequential polypeptides- i.e., the polypentapeptide (L-Val1-L-Pro2-Gly3-L-Val4-Gly5)n and its more hydrophobic analogues (L-Leu1-L-Pro2-Gly3-L-Val4-Gly5)n and (L-Val1-L-Pro2-L-Ala3-L-Val4-Gly5)n; the polytetrapeptide (L-Val1-L-Pro2-Gly3-Gly4)n and its more hydrophobic analogue (L-IIe1-L-Pro2-Gly3-Gly4)n; and the polynonapeptide (a pentatetra hybrid), (L-Val1-L-Pro2-Gly3-L-Val4-Gly5-L-Val6-L-Pro7-Gly8-Gly9)n.Previous physical characterizations of the polypentapeptides have demonstrated the occurrence of an inverse temperature transition since increase in order of the polypentapeptide, as the temperature is raised from below to above that of the transition, has been repeatedly observed using different physical characterizations.In the present experiments, it is observed that the transition temperatures of the polypeptides studied are linearly dependent on NaCl concentration. The molar effectiveness of NaCl in shifting the transition temperature ΔTm/[N], is about 14°C/[N], with the dependence on peptide hydrophobicity being fairly small. Interestingly, however, the δΔQ/ [N] does depend on the hydrophobicity of a polypeptide.

    Notizen: The structure and activity of a protein molecule are strongly influenced by the extent of hydration of its cavities. This is, in turn, related to the free energy change on transfer of a water molecule from bulk solvent into a cavity. Such free energy changes have been calculated for two cavities in a sulfate-binding protein. One of these cavities contains a crystallo graphically observed water molecule while the other does not. Thermodynamic integration and perturbation methods were used to calculate free energies of hydration for each of the cavities from molecular dynamics simulations of two separate events: the removal of a water molecule from pure water, and the introduction of a water molecule into each protein cavity. From the simulations for the pure water system, the excess chemical potential of water was computed to be -6.4 ± 0.4 kcal/mol, in accord with experiment and with other recent theoretical calculations. For the protein cavity containing an experimentally observed water molecule, the free energy change on hydrating it with one water molecule was calculated as -10.0 ± 1.3 kcal/mol, indicating the high probability that this cavity is occupied by a water molecule. By contrast, for the cavity in which no water molecules were experimentally observed, the free energy change on hydrating it with one water molecule was calculated as 0.2 ± 1.5 kcal/mol, indicating its low occupancy by water. The agreement of these results with experiment suggests that thermodynamic simulation methods may become useful for the prediction and analysis of internal hydration in proteins.

    Notizen: The conformational possibilities of three different δ-selective opioid peptides, which are DPDPE , and DRE (Tyr-D-Met-Phe-His-Leu-Met-Asp-NH2, dermenkephalin), were explored using energy calculations. Sets of low-energy conformers were obtained for each of these peptides. The sets consisted of 61 structures for DPDPE, 32 for DCFPE, and 38 for DRE, including various types of rotamers of the Tyr and Phe side-chain groups. Comparison of the geometrical shapes of the conformers was performed for these sets using topographical considerations, i.e., examination of the mutual spatial arrangement of the N-terminal α-amino group, and of the Tyr and Phe side-chain groups. The results obtained suggest a model for the δ-receptor-bound conformer(s) for opioid peptides. The model suggests the placement of the Phe side chain in a definite position in space corresponding to the g- rotamer of Phe for peptides containing Phe4 and to the t rotamer for peptides containing Phe.3 The position of the Tyr1 side chain cannot be specified so precisely. The proposed model is in a good agreement with the results of biological testing of β-Me-Phe4-substituted DPDPE analogues that were not considered in the process of model construction.

    Notizen: Complete nmr and CD studies of two cyclic tetrapeptides with disulfide bonds, 1 and 2 bonds have been carried out in different solvents to investigate the formation and stabilization of β-turn structures and to determine the stereochemistry of the disulfide linkage. Both peptides have three-dimensional structures with a type II β-turn, as derived from quantitative nuclear Overhauser effect data. The combined use of CD and nmr indicates that the dihedral angle of the disulfide bridge is different in the two peptides, although the chirality is maintained.
