    Notes: Abstract The effects of disodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) on bone and serum chemistry were investigated in adult rabbits. EHDP was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 0.25, 2.5 and 10 mg/kg body weight/day for of 28 days. Blood samples were obtained weekly from each rabbit and serum levels of total calcium, ionized calcium, inorganic phosphate and alkaline phosphatase were determined. At the end of the treatment period all rabbits were sacrificed and the tibiae removed for chemical analysis and histological evaluation. The effect of EHDP administration on serum chemistry was both dose- and time-related. The highest of the three doses, 10 mg/kg/day, resulted in a time-related decrease in total serum calcium. This dose also caused a rapid but transient reduction in serum ionized calcium. The effect of EHDP on serum inorganic phosphate was biphasic. Administration of 2.5 mg/kg/day resulted in a time-related elevation in this parameter, whereas the 10 mg/kg/day dose resulted in a time-related hypophosphatemic response. There were no significant drug-related changes in tibial fat-free dry weight, ash weight, total calcium or total phosphorus values. However, administration of 2.5 and 10 mg/kg/day EHDP resulted in increased osteoid tissue as measured histologically. These results are compared with data from other EHDP studies, and discussed in relation to the maturity and growth-state of the experimental animals.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden Gleichgewichts-Phasendiagramme für das System CaO-P2O5-H2O bestimmt, indem hydrothermale Synthese-Techniken im Temperaturbereich von 300–600° und bei einem Druck von 2 Kb H2O verwendet wurden. Es wurde gut-kristallisiertes Hydroxyapatit erzeugt und charakterisiert. Es wurden geringe Unterschiede in den Parametern der Zelleinheiten festgestellt, welche von der angewandten Temperatur und der Zusammensetzung des Startmaterials abhingen. Es waren genaue chemische Bedingungen nötig, um Apatit als die einzige feste Phase im Gleichgewicht mit der Lösung zu erhalten. Die Resultate der Gleichgewichts-Phasendiagramme werden mit früheren Untersuchungen mit der Synthesetechnik verglichen.
    Notes: Abstract Equilibrium phase diagrams have been determined for the system CaO-P2O5-H2 using hydrothermal synthesis techniques in the temperature range 300–600° and 2 Kb H2O pressure. Well-crystallized hydroxyapatite has been produced and characterized. Small variations in unit cell parameters dependent on temperature of synthesis and bulk composition of the starting materials have been determined. Precise chemical conditions were required to obtain apatite as the only solid phase in equilibrium with solution. Equilibrium phase diagram results are compared with previous synthetic investigations.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacology, toxicology and kinetics of a new diuretic indapamide, have been studied in six normal volunteers following a single oral dose of 40 mg. Pronounced diuresis was found, commencing three hours after ingestion, with a peak urinary flow at four to six hours, and continuing for a total of thirty-six hours. A fall in systolic standing blood pressure occurred twenty four hours after ingestion, coincident with the period of maximum dehydration. Free water clearance rose, accompanied by increased urinary losses of Na+, K+ and Cl− and alkalinisation of the urine comparable to the actions of benzothiadiazines. Total urinary losses of Ca2+, Mg2+ and PO 4 3− rose in spite of a fall in urinary concentrations of these ions. The Ca2+ effect compares with the acute ionic effects of other diuretics. No renal, hepatic or haematological toxic effect was demonstrated. The blood sugar level was not disturbed. Serum uric acid rose to abnormal levels although the change did not reach statistical significance. — A thin layer chromatographic method, with a sensitivity limit of 0.1 µg/ml., has been developed for the assay of indapamide in urine. The urinary excretion rates of the volunteers measured over forty-eight hours indicate that the drug is rapidly absorbed with a peak excretion, 2.9±1.3 µg/min occurring three hours after ingestion. The drug is eliminated bi-phasically with an initial short rapid elimination followed by a slower exponential decline with a mean elimination half-life of 10.3 ± 3.9 h. The mean urinary excretion of unchanged indapamide over forty-eight hours was 4.4±1.4% of the administered dose. — It is concluded that indapamide is an effective long-acting diuretic with comparable action to the benzothiadiazine diuretics, but without an effect on blood sugar level in single doses in normal subjects. In contrast with other diuretics, indapamide appears to be extensively metabolised in man, and its longer duration of action to be related to a longer elimination half-life.

    Notes: Summary 50 mg14C-Butylbiguanide was administered intravenously to 4 diabetic patients and 100 mg14C-butylbiguanide orally to 5 further diabetics. The concentrations of the drug in plasma, intestinal fluid, intestinal epithelium and liver tissue were determined and the renal excretion of the biguanide measured. Irregularities in the plasma concentration curve were observed which appeared as systematic deviations from the ideal curve of a biexponential function. Because these deviations occurred only in the middle phase of the plasma concentration curve, it was nevertheless possible to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of butylbiguanide by use of a two-compartment open model. The principal pharmacokinetic parameters were determined according to this model after intravenous dosing and the following mean values were obtained:t 1/2 (β)=4.6 h (β=0.15 h−1),C P 0 =0.85µg/ml,V D =218 l,V T =157 l,V P =62 l,k 12=0.69 h−1,k 21=0.44 h−1,k el =0.54 h−1. Within 48 h after administration, an average of 72.4% of the intravenous and 74.4% of the oral dose had been excreted in the urine. Total clearance (Cl tot) averaged 536 ml/min and renal clearance (Cl ren) 393 ml/min. High concentrations of butylbiguanide were observed in the intestinal fluid (100–700 mg/ml) 20–40 min after oral administration. It was found that the drug accumulates in intestinal fluid, intestinal epithelium and liver tissue, and that it is secreted into the intestinal lumen. The concentrations of butylbiguanide in intestinal and liver tissue were 10–46 times higher than in plasma. The secretion of biguanide into the intestinal lumen may occur via the bile or the intestinal mucosa, but there is no evidence of significant biliary excretion of butylbiguanide.

    Pharmacokinetics of mestranol in man in relation to its oestrogenic activity (1974)

    Notes: Summary The oestrogenic activity of mestranol depends on its demethylation to ethynyloestradiol. The reaction has been studied in man. The compound disappeared exponentially from plasma during the first 4 h after i.v. injection of [4-14C-] mestranol. The “metabolic clearance” for this phase amounted to 31.8 1/day per kg body weight. Methoxy-3H-labelled mestranol was prepared for the further studies, because if it is demethylated, the tritium would be transferred to HTO, which would equilibrate immediately with body water. The appearance in body water of tritium from [methoxy-3H-] mestranol could be described by two exponential functions, which corresponded to bi-phasic disappearance of the original compound from plasma. The rate constant of the first stage was: γ1=0.835 h−1, and of the second: γ2=0.034 h−1. HTO radioactivity was eliminated from the body by exchange of water. From the data obtained, a three-compartment model was constructed of the transfer of tritium from [methoxy-3H-] mestranolinto body water, which permitted computer simulation of the partial processes. The compartmental analysis suggested that mestranol differed from ethynyloestradiol mainly in the delayed and protracted manner in which hormonally active oestrogen entered the circulation. The proportion of [methoxy-3H-] mestranol demethylated to ethynyloestradiol (demethylation ratio) varied little, 53.7±5.0% (x±SD; n=6), and was consistent with clinical observations that mestranol is half as potent an oestrogen as ethynyloestradiol. Thus, the dose of mestranol required to produce a given effect has to be twice as large as that of ethynyloestradiol.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of tranexamic acid has been investigated in two healthy volunteers. The behaviour of the drug can be described in terms of a two compartment open model; the disposition (biological) half-life was 2.7 h and 1.9 h, respectively. In five normal volunteers the mean total recovery in urine 48 h after dosing was 94.8%. The renal clearance in the two subjects, adjusted to 1.73 m2 body surface area, was 135 and 132 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively, indicating that tranexamic acid is eliminated by glomerular filtration and that neither tubular excretion nor absorption takes place.

    Notes: Summary Intra-individual variability in the plasma half-life of phenazone has been studied in 16 healthy, young volunteers. Phenazone was analysed by a simple gas chromatographic method, which is specific in relation to known metabolites; 4′-methylphenazone was employed as the internal standard. Phenazone was given on two occasions, two or three months apart, in oral doses of 10 mg/kg. The plasma half-life determined from five time points was 10.9±1.5 h and 11.2±1.3 h respectively, on the two occasions. The mean intra-individual variability (0.86 h) was close to the methodological error of 4%.

    Notes: Summary The elimination of pindolol in 25 patients with various degrees of renal failure has been studied after an intravenous dose of 3 mg. A linear correlation was not found between the elimination rate of pindolol and the endogenous creatinine clearance, and the half-life of the unchanged drug was independent of the severity of the renal failure. This implies greater metabolism of pindolol in anuric patients and the extrarenal elimination rate constantk mwas increased. Three patients with severe renal failure were given 3 mg14C-pindolol. They showed almost constant plasma levels of radio-activity for 6 h and then slow excretion with a half-life of 48 h, because of accumulation of metabolites in the blood. Up to 90% of the metabolites are glucuronides and sulphates which have no beta-blocking or other clinical activity. Thus, to produce beta-adrenergic blockade the same dose of indolol is required in healthy patients as in those with uraemia.

    Notes: Summary Pizotifen (BC 105) has an orexigenic effect in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. As these cases are often treated with isonicotinylhydrazine (INH), any effect of one of these drugs on the absorption of the other has been examined in a cross-over study in 8 healthy male volunteers. No difference was found between the absorption of INH given alone or together with pizotifen. It should be safe, therefore, to employ the combination of the orexigenic drug and INH in the treatment of tuberculosis as there will be no change in the concentration of therapeutic drug achieved.

    Notes: Summary Diphenylhydantoin (2 mg/kg) was infused intravenously in four uraemic patients and four healthy volunteers and its plasma concentration measured during and after the infusion. The plasma concentrations were considerably lower in the uraemic subjects and the apparent volume of distribution was higher. These observations could be explained by the lower plasma protein binding of diphenylhydantoin in the uraemics. The overall elimination rate constant β was greater (shorter half-life) in the uraemic patients. This difference could not be explained by reduced plasma protein binding, but it might be due to induction of diphenylhydantoin metabolism in the uraemic state. it is concluded that monitoring of the plasma levels of drugs in uraemic patients should be combined with determination of the extent to which the compounds are bound to plasma proteins.

    Notes: Summary Single oral doses of rifampicin (RMP) were given to 31 patients with pleural effusions of various aetiologies. The concentrations of RMP and its active metabolites in pleural fluid and plasma were determined by an agar diffusion method using paper discs as diffusion centres. The plasma concentrations reached a peak within 3 h and then declined monoexponentially; in pleural fluid, RMP concentration rose slowly to reach a plateau that lasted for several hours. There were marked differences between subjects in the observed concentrations of RMP. During the first 12 h the plasma levels exceeded those in pleural fluid, but after 24 h the concentration of RMP in pleural fluid was higher than in plasma. If multiple oral doses of RMP 10 mg/kg b. w. are given every 24 h, as is common in the treatment of tuberculosis, therapeutic concentrations may be expected in pleural fluid for the major part of each day.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of absorption, distribution and excretion of pindolol have been investigated in 17 volunteers after an oral dose or intravenous infusion of 5 mg. The calculated absorption was 92%. The time course of the plasma levels appeared to follow first order kinetics with an apparent half life of 3.6 (oral) and 3.1 (i.v.) hours. The cumulative urinary excretion att=∞ was 36.1% and 39.2% of the dose administered, respectively, indicating extensive metabolism of the drug. The distribution volume was 136 l. Peak plasma levels were found 80 min after oral administration and they showed up to 4-fold variation after identical doses. Renal clearance was 216 ml×min−1 and total clearance was 483 ml×min−1. In plasma 57% of pindolol was bound to protein.

    Notes: Summary The plasma levels of phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin, DPH) in epileptic patients were significantly higher after treatment with either of two preparations containing the sodium salt of DPH, than after treatment with the same dose of the free acid. This was confirmed in both short and long term studies, and in the latter increased plasma levels of DPH were accompanied by better control of generalized seizures. The degree of acute side-effects in 6 out of 10 patients whose treatment was changed from DPH-acid to DPH-sodium was proportional to the plasma level of DPH; the latter varied from 22.8 to 34.9 µg/ml in affected patients. After a single oral dose in healthy volunteers, the sodium salt of DPH showed much better bioavailability than the free acid. The differences in bioavailability in patients and volunteers probably depended on differences in particle size in the preparations of the sodium salt of DPH and its free acid. The excipient, lactose or starch, did not seem to affect the bioavailability of the two formulations of sodium-DPH.

    Notes: Summary Single oral doses of rifampicin (10 mg/kg body weight), p-aminosalicylic acid (0.2 g/kg), isoniazid (10 mg/kg), or rifampicin and either p-aminosalicylic acid or isoniazid, were given to 69 tuberculous patients with normal renal and hepatic function. Ten-fold interindividual differences were observed in the peak serum concentrations and half-lives of rifampicin; its half-life was reduced from 4.3 h after the first dose to 3.1 h after the third dose, possibly due to self-induction of its own metabolism. No effect on its serum concentration or half-life, nor on those of isoniazid, were found after simultaneous oral administration of the two drugs. After treatment with rifampicin and p-aminosalicylic acid, the peak serum level of the former was delayed from 2 to 4 h, it was reduced from 8.0 to 3.8 µg/ml, and the mean area under the serum concentration curve throughout the entire 8 h study period was also lowered by about half. Individual patients did not attain therapeutically effective peak serum concentrations of rifampicin if also treated withp-aminosalicylic acid. The interaction observed between the two drugs is probably due to impaired gastrointestinal absorption of rifampicin, either by alteration of its physico-chemical properties or by a decrease in the gastric emptying rate combined with more rapid intestinal transit. The combination of these two drugs is unsuitable for the routine chemotherapy of tuberculosis.

    Notes: Summary The effect of renal failure on the excretion of oral doses of practolol has been studied. The plasma half-life increased up to 6.6 times normal and the cumulative urinary excretion of the drug was reduced. There was a linear correlation between the overall elimination rate constant of practolol and inulin and creatinine clearances. A linear correlation was also found between the renal clearances of practolol and inulin. The dose of practolol required for maintenance therapy should be reduced in patients with impaired renal function.

    Notes: Abstract Several important statistical aspects of pharmacokinetic analyses by digital computer are discussed. These include selection of appropriate equations, weighting of data, precision of parameter estimates, comparisons of parameters, analysis of weighted residuals, and criteria useful in the selection of particular models. Data obtained after administration of isoniazid and isonicotinuric acid to man are analyzed to illustrate the usefulness of the discussed methods.

    Notes: Abstract A new pharmacokinetic model is proposed to explain the hepatobiliary transport of a nonmetabolized sulfonic acid dye, bromphenol blue, which is actively transported from the bloodstream into bile. This model has the advantage of taking into account the roles of the liver cytoplasmic Y- and Z- binding proteins and T binder.

    Notes: Abstract An experiment has been carried out in man designed to compare the fit of a two- and a three-compartment pharmacokinetic model to experimentally determined serum digoxin concentration-time data following rapid intravenous injection of 1.0 mg of the drug. Digoxin was administered to five healthy male volunteers, blood samples were withdrawn repetitively over a period of 72 hr, and samples were assayed using a 125 I radioimmunoassay. Appropriate equations describing two- and three-compartment open models were fitted to the experimental data using weighted nonlinear least squares regression analysis. It was demonstrated that the three-compartment fit resulted in a statistically significant reduction in residual error, a marked improvement in the randomness of scatter of the experimental data about the serum digoxin-time curve, and better agreement of the predicted serum concentration-time curve with experimental serum digoxin concentrations. Thus the three-compartment open model is the simplest pharmacokinetic model consistent with the data observed in this experiment.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of 3H-metoprolol, a new selective β 1-receptor antagonist, have been studied in healthy volunteers by following the plasma concentrations and the urinary excretion of the unchanged compound and its total radioactive metabolites after oral and intravenous administration. The compound was rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration, and about 40% of the dose reached the systemic circulation. The estimated half-life of the absorption process was 10 min. Metoprolol was extensively distributed to extravascular tissues, with the half-life of the distribution phase close to 12 min. About 95% of the dose was excreted in the urine within 72 hr, mainly in metabolized form. The elimination halflife of the compound was close to 3 hr as was also the half-life of the total metabolites after oral administration. After intravenous administration, the elimination half-life of the metabolites was raised to 5 hr, indicating that the route of administra tion might influence the metabolic pathways of the parent compound.

    Notes: We describe a method for determining chemical kinetic constants and diffusion coefficients by measuring the rates of decay of spontaneous concentration fluctuations. The equilibrium of the system is not disturbed during the measurement. We measure the number of molecules of a specified type in a defined open volume as a function of time and compute the time course of the deviations from the thermodynamic mean concentration. The method is based on the principle that the rates of decay of spontaneous microscopic fluctuations are determined by the same phenomenological rate coefficients as those of macroscopic departures from equilibrium which result from external perturbations. Hence, an analysis of fluctuations yields the same chemical rate constants and diffusion coefficients as are measured by conventional procedures. In practice the number of the specified molecules is measured by a property such as absorbance or fluorescence which is specific and sensitive to chemical change. The sample volume is defined by a light beam which traverses the cell. As the molecules appear in or disappear from the light beam, either due to diffusion or chemical reaction, their concentration fluctuations give rise to corresponding fluctuations of the intensity of absorbed or emitted light. This paper presents the theory needed to derive chemical rate constants and diffusion coefficients from these fluctuations in light intensity. The theory is applied to three examples of general interest: pure diffusion in the absence of chemical reaction; the binding of a small rapidly diffusing ligand to a larger slowly diffusing macromolecule; and a unimolecular isomerization. The method should be especially useful in studying highly cooperative systems, relatively noncooperative systems with intermediate states closely spaced in free energy, small systems, and systems not readily subject to perturbations of state.

    Molecular mobility of polypeptides containing proline as determined by 13C magnetic resonance (1974)

    Notes: The molecular conformations and dynamics of poly(L-prolyl), poly(hydroxyl-L-prolyl), poly(L-prolyl-glycyl), poly(hydroxyl-L-prolyl), and poly(glycyl-glycyl-L-prolyl-glycyl), in aqueous solution, have been studied using 13C pulse Fourier transform nmr spectroscopy. From a measurement of the intensities of major and minor resonances in the spectra of the copolypeptides, it was determined that 15-20% of the glycyl-prolyl and glycyl-hydroxyprolyl peptide bonds are cis. Effective rotational correlation times (τeff), obtained from measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) of individual backbone and side-chain carbons, demonstrated that backbone reorientation is approximately isotropic for the five polypeptides and is characterized by correlation times of ca. 0.3-0.6 nanoseconds as a result of rapid segmental motion. In a given polypeptide glycyl and pyrrolidine residues were found to have the same backbone correlation times, but backbone carbon τeff values did decrease as the glycyl content of the peptides increased. A semi-quantitative analysis of Cβ, Cγ, and Cδ correlation times suggests that rapid ring motion in both prolyl and hydroxyprolyl involves primarily Cγ and Cβ, with the prolyl ring being more mobile than the hydroxyprolyl ring.

    Notes: A model for the flexibility of DNA is proposed that is based on discrete variations in the direction of propagation in going from one subunit to the next. Expansion of the local free energy in terms of the local bending gives a Gaussian distribution function. The assumption of the independence of local bends on neighbors lead to very simple formulae for the persistence length and the characteristic ratio. Emphasis, however, is placed on the application of the formulae for molecules of finite size where the persistence length and C∞ are not defined. The formulae are worked out for two models, which should serve as limits for the real physical situation.

    Notes: If dispersion effects are not taken into account, the dimensions of particles in suspension estimated from spectrophotometric data (slope of the log OD versus log λ plot) are too low. By measuring dispersion curves for the medium and for the suspension, a consistent estimate of the size of latex particles of different diameter is obtained from the OD data.

    Notes: X-ray diffraction and stereochemical analyses were used to study the hydrated structure of the helical amylose polymorph having a fiber repeat spacing of 8 Å. Intensity calculations using computer models confirmed six as the number of residues per turn and supported the space group P212121. Both diffraction intensity and stereochemical methods indicate the suitability of residue G3 from the potassium acetate complex of cyclohexaamylose as opposed to residues with longer O(4)-O(1) vectors. Comparison of the present results with those obtained for V amylose dehydrate indicated no major conformational differences between the two helix skeletons. A net helical rotation of approximately 30° accompanied the hydrate-dehydrate transition and the rotational position in the hydrate allowed packing that was less close. Hydration water molecules were not located; noncarbohydrate peaks on the electron density maps were primarily due to Fourier series termination errors.

    Notes: We have measured the circular dichroism spectra and have obtained melting curves for samples of purified satellite DNA's from three species of crab, Cancer borealis, Gecarcinus lateralis, and Callinectes sapidus. Although all three satellite DNA's have the same density in neutral CsCl, their circular dichroism spectra and melting and reassociation characteristics are different, as are other properties of these DNA's. The circular dichroism spectra are analyzed to give estimates of nearest-neighbor frequencies. We estimate that about 90% of the Cancer borealis satellite DNA and over 80% of the Gecarcinus lateralis satellite DNA consist of d(AT)n:d(AT)n sequences, while the serially repeating unit of the Callinectes sapidus satellite DNA may not contain any extended d(AT)n:d(AT)n sequences. The results from the circular dichroism spectra for the Cancer borealis, Gecarcinus lateralis, and the Callinectes sapidus satellite DNA's are in agreement with base composition analyses, which give 2.4, 8, and 25% G+C, respectively, for these DNA's.

    Notes: Samples of epichlorohydrin crosslinked potato starch were prepared by using a high ratio of starch to water and alkali concentration below the gelatinization level. This yielded crosslinked samples that were partially crystalline, and where the number of crosslinks could be varied between 1 and 20 crosslinks per 100 anhydroglucose units. The degree of swelling varied regularly with degree of crosslinking, and the molecular weight between crosslinks Mc as derived from swelling data in a good swelling agent compared favorably with Mc derived from chemical analysis.From the heat of gelatinization of the crosslinked starches, as observed in a differential scanning calorimeter, for gelatinization in glycerol, water, and dimethylsulfoxide, a model for the gel state of the crosslinked starch is proposed. It is concluded that the entropy of melting is the determining factor in establishing the temperature of gelatinization.

    Notes: Circular dichroism studies of the interaction of β-cyclodextrin with a series of eight dinucleoside phosphates, and with 3′-AMP are reported. From results with ApU and ApA, it is shown that β-cyclodextrin binding is sensitive to dinucleoside stacking in approximately the same way as optical measures of stacking. Some qualitative uses of β-cyclodextrin binding are suggested, based on the fact that the change in the CD spectrum caused by cyclodextrin binding is unique to each of the dinucleosides studied. Hoffman and Bock have previously suggested the use of β-cyclodextrin as a probe of nucleic acid structure. Their work indicated that only binding to adenosine and inosine would have to be considered. The present paper shows that binding to other bases cannot be neglected, and will impose serious restrictions on the use of β-cyclodextrin as a structural probe.

Oligomers prepared in this manner were optically pure and were obtained in reasonable yield. Preliminary optical examination of the peptides suggests that secondary structures may begin forming in the pentamer or hexamer in trifluoroethanol. BOC-(Met)4-OMe and BOC-(Met)5-OMe were also synthesized using an insoluble resin containing BOC-L-methionine as the nitrophenol active ester.

    Notes: Conformational studies of a series of oligopeptides (from the tripeptide to the octadecapeptide) with the repeating sequence L-norvalyl-glycyl-L-proline and a polytripeptide with this sequence are reported. By means of chiroptical techniques, unordered conformations are found for all oligopeptides in water, trifluoroethanol, and ethylene glycol and for the water-insoluble polymer in trifluoroethanol. In ethylene glycol the polymer assumes a collagen-like structure. Infrared studies indicate that all the oligomers, in contrast to the polymer, are unordered in the solid state.

    Notes: Uncharged poly(Nε-methyl-L-lysine) (PMLL) and its isomer, poly(Nδ-ethyl-L-ornithine) (PELO), in alkaline solution (pH ca. 12) undergo a helix-to-β transition upon mild heating at 50°C or higher in a manner similar to that of poly(L-lysine) (PLL). The rate of conversion follows the order: PMLL 〈 PELO 〈 PLL. The helix can be regenerated upon cooling near zero degrees, for instance, after more than 12 hr at 2°C. At concentrations less than 0.02% the β form is intramolecular, but at higher concentrations both intra- and intermolecular β forms are generated. Poly(Nδ-methyl-L-ornithine) (PMLO), an isomer of PLL, behaves like poly(L-ornithine); uncharged PMLO in alkaline solution is partially helical and becomes disordered at elevated temperatures.

    Notes: In order to study the effect of side-chain length on the conformation of polypeptides, conformational changes of various ionic polypeptides with various lengths of side chain, poly-Nε-glutaryl-L-lysine (PGL), poly-Nδ-glutaryl-L-ornithine (PGO), poly-Nε-succinyl-L-lysine (PSL), and poly-Nδ-succinyl-L-ornithine (PGO), were investigated by ORD, potentiometric titration, and dilatometric measurements in aqueous solution. The results of optical rotation and potentiometric titration measurements indicate strongly that the α-helix stability increases in the sequence PSO 〈 PSL ∼ PGO 〈 PGL, which corresponds to increased side-chain length. The volume change associated with the helix-coil transition also increased in the above sequence. This series of polymers seems to be more hydrophobic compared with poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-lysine, as suggested from the values of enthalpy and entropy changes for coil-helix transitions.

    Notes: The conformational changes of poly-Nε-glutaryl-L-lysine (PGL) and poly-Nε-succinyl-L-lysine (PSL) in various salt solutions were studied by use of ORD and potentiometric titration measurements. The addition of alkali metal salts to the fully ionized PGL or PSL solution caused helix formation. The helical content of the polymers increases in the following sequences: at salt concentration 0-2 M, CsCl 〈 KCl 〈 LiCl 〈 NaCl; and at 2-3 M, LiCl 〈 CsCl 〈 KCl ∼ NaCl. The preferential binding of the solvent components with various alkali metal salts of PGL or PSL was measured in LiCl, NaCl, and KCl solutions by means of equilibrium dialysis and differential refractometry. It was found that with increasing salt concentration, the polymers were preferentially hydrated in NaCl and KCl soultions; however the salt was preferentially bound to the polymers in LiCl solution. Such preferential binding was suggested to be closely related to conformational change. The addition of CaCl2 to polymer solutions led to the stabilization of the helical structure of PGL or PSL.

    Notes: Refractive indices of bovine serum albumin solutions in saline and in 2-chloro ethanol are measured for the spectral region 1770-10000 Å by a reflectance method. A procedure for the determination of a dispersion formula for binary mixtures is developed and applied. The electronic polarizability of bovine serum albumin is determined and is found to be almost independent of the solvent and concentration. Hence it follows that the electronic polarizability of bovine serum albumin is almost independent of the molecular environment.

    Notes: The dielectric absorption of poly-DL-phenylalanine and poly-γ-benzyl-L-aspartate (PLAB) was measured in very dilute solutions to determine the type of molecular association and to locate the helix-coil transition. Both polypeptides were present as associated helices in chloroform. The mode of aggregation, which was determined by measuring the dipole moment and the critical frequency, did not depend on the polarity of the side chain but rather on that of the solvent.In both polymers, the dissociation of the aggregates in chloroform was observed on addition of small amounts of dichloroacetic acid; further addition of the acid lead to the helix-coil transition.No second region of dielectric absorption that might be related to the kinetics of the transition was found during the helix-coil transition of PBLA.

    Notes: Molecular conformation of some polysaccharides in aqueous solution in evidenced by changes in the optical rotation and in the elution pattern of gel filtration. The changes in the specific rotation against that in water are expressed as a molar conformational value [K]D21: -495° for colominic acid in 1.0 N NaOH solution, and -180° for hyaluronate (HA), +85° for corneal keratin sulfate, and +234° for amylose in 8 M urea solution. The gel filtration of amylose and HA dissolved in 8 M urea solution shows elution patterns distinctly different from those dissolved in water. The phenomena are attributable to a molecular conformational transition of polysaccharide molecules in aqueous solution.

    Notes: A previously described procedure for simultaneous optimization of bond lengths and angles was used to test different models for mannan I. Potential hydrogen bonds and the glycosidic angle were included in the optimization. A conformational model with bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type observed in the methyl cellobioside methanol complex showed the best agreement with available exprerimental data. The coordinates of this model were provided by computer calculations. The available X-ray data, however, were not sufficient for selecting this model; rather, ir data were necessary to furnish the needed information. The different conformational models tested all showed an almost constant virtual bond length O(1)-O(4) of the β-pyranose residue. This was in contrast to the previously obtained results for the α-pyranose residues.

    Notes: The longitudinal proton magnetic relaxation times T1 were measured for ferri (met)-and carbonmonoxy-bovine haemoglobin and equine myoglobin in 0.1 M KH2PO4 aqueous solutions near pH 6 at 5°C and 35°C from 1.5- to 60-MHz Larmor frequencies. It is concluded that the correlation time τC for the dipole-dipole interaction of electron and nuclear spins is in fact the electron (ferric) spin relaxation time τS being close to 1.5 × 10-10 sec for both metHb and metMb at 5°C. At 35°C the paramagnetic relaxation rates are not determined solely by the relaxation of protons exchanging from the haem pocket with bulk solvent. Hence, τC at 35°C cannot be calculated from the dispersion data obtained at this temperature. The relevance of this for the determination of interspin distances r is discussed.

    Notes: The orientation of naphthalene rings in the side chain of poly-γ-1-naphthylmethyl-L-glutamate (PNLG) in mixed solvents of dichoroethane (DCE) and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) has been studied together with its conformation by infrared, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectra. The CD pattern of PNLG varies with the solvent composition while it maintains the α-helical conformation. The fluorescence spectra of PNLG in solution show excimer emission of the naphthalene chromophores. The ratio of intensity of the excimer emission to that of the normal fluorescence decreases as the HFIP component in the solvent increases. It is suggested that the naphthalene rings in the side chain of α-helical PNLG are more rigidly orientated in the solvents of higher HFIP ratio.

    Notes: The near ultraviolet chiroptical properties of L-cystine conformational isomers are examined on a static, “one-electron” model in which the disulfide moiety is the chromophoric group and the atoms of the L-alanyl fragments are treated as perturbers. The zeroth order chromophoric wave functions are calculated on a semiempirical molecular orbital model in which excited states are constructed in the virtual orbital-configuration interaction approximation. The perturbing environment is represented by point charges located at the atomic centers of the L-alanyl fragments. Chromophore-perturber interactions are expressed as charge-multipole moments with only the charge-dipole and charged-quadrupole terms being retained in the calculations. Vicinal contributions to the rotatory strengths of the five lowest energy disulfide transitions are computed for 30 conformational isomers of the L-cystine dizwitterion. The results provide support for the view that vicinal or peripheral effects can account entirely for the observed near ultraviolet (λ 〉 230 nm) chiroptical properties of L-cystine and its derivatives and that these properties are diagnostic of conformational features external to the disulfide moiety.

    Notes: The circular dichroic spectrum of poly(Tyr,TyrBr) in trimethylphosphate from 180 to 320 nm is found to be a linear function of composition from 25 to 68% TyrBr, and the spectra of the Tyr and TyrBr components are resolved. For Tyr the resolved spectrum is in agreement with available CD spectra of poly(Tyr). These results are interpreted to mean that the side-chain conformations of Tyr and TyrBr are not affected by the other component, and that for Tyr the conformation is the same as in poly(Tyr). It is also concluded that poly(Tyr,TyrBr) is helical with the same helix sense as poly(Tyr). The restrictions on the side-chain conformations are discussed, and it is suggested that the Tyr and TyrBr side chains are all in the same χ1 region.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids was calculated as a function of geometry using the theory of Tinoco and Johnson. This theory does not include contributions of near ultraviolet transitions that are not π → π* in nature. The calculated circular dichroism shows a strong dependence on the distance of base pairs from the helix axis and the tilt of the base pair. Smaller dependences are predicted for the propeller-like twist of a base pair and for variation of the angular increment per base pair. Moderately good agreement between calculated and many experimentally observed spectra could be generated.

    Notes: The maximum at 220 nm in the circular dichroism spectrum of native collagen solution changed to a negative value after heat denaturation or collagenase hydrolysis. The enzyme induced rate of CD change at 220 nm was shown to be first order in collagen concentration. The specific rate constant k is actually a combined rate constant kfast and kslow in which the ratio kf/ks is 4.1. The initial rates were linear with respect to enzyme concentration, and the Km was found to be 5.5 × 10-7 M. The rate of ultraviolet hyperchromicity at 220 nm on collagen hydrolysis was determined. The kfast was the same as that obtained by CD. The kf/ks ratio was 4.6. Both methods may be readily used to assay for collagenase activity.

    Notes: The crystal and molecular structure of the complex of amylose with dimethyl sulfoxide has been studied by a combination of stereochemical analysis, potential energy, and X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in a pseudotetragonal unit cell with a = b = 19.17 Å and c (fiber axis) = 24.39 Å, with two antiparallel chains per unit cell and space group P212121. The amylose chain is a left-handed 61(1.355) helix with three turns per crystallographic repeat. The O(6) rotational position is approximately gt. Dimethyl sulfoxide is located inside the helix with one DMSO molecule for every three glucose residues. An additional four DMSO molecules and eight water molecules each are located in the large interstices between chains, and it is the interaction of these molecules with the helix that results in the pseudotetragonal chain packing. The interstitial DMSO is the source of the previously reported additional layer lines, which are not consistent with the 8.13-Å amylose repeat distance. The final R factor for the layers with amylose contribution to the structure factors was 0.29, while the overall R factor was 0.35. The stereochemical packing analysis provided suitable phasing models for the subsequent X-ray refinement.

The dielectric increment ε0-ε∞ increased with the rise of temperature. The relaxation time, on the other hand, decreased. Both the increase in dielectric increment and the decrease in relaxation time could not be explained on the basis of the counterion polarization theory. Dipole moment was estimated from Kirkwood theory. It was found to decrease systematically with temperature. Even at 0°C there was a dipole moment of 104D.

    Notes: Five human hemoglobins whose genetic relationship to one another involves one set of alleles, hemoglobins CC, SC, SS, AS, and AA, were studied in the deoxygenated form within a McBain gravimetric sorption system at 28°C. Water was used as the adsorbate at relative vapor pressures ranging from 0.11 to 0.39. The results of this study are reported and compared with a similar study on the ferric form of these same five hemoglobins. For both forms of hemoglobin studied, a slight increase was measured in the number of polar sites accessible to H2O vapor for those genotypes in which the substituent in the sixth position from the N terminus of the two β chains had a positively charged side chain, i.e., hemoglobin C. Those samples containing hemoglobin S (less soluble in the deoxy form) show an increased BET monolayer coverage in the deoxy as compared to the ferric form. For each genotype, the deoxygenated form had more polar sites accessible to H2O vapor than its ferric form. This finding is in agreement with an increase in the size of the central cavity as shown by crystallographic analysis.

    Notes: Thermal denaturation of direct-mixed and reconstituted polylysine-DNA complexes in 2.5 × 10-4 M EDTA, pH 8.0 and various concentrations of NaCl has been studied. For both complexes, increasing ionic strength of the solution raises Tm, the melting temperature of free base pairs. The linear dependence of Tm on log Na+ indicates that the concept of electrostatic shielding on phosphate lattice of an infinitely long pure DNA by Na+ can be applied to short free DNA segments in a nucleoprotein. For a direct-mixed polylysine-DNA complex, the melting temperature of bound base pairs Tm′ remains constant at various ionic strengths. On the other hand, the Tm′ in a reconstituted polylysine-DNA complex is shifted to lower temperature at higher ionic strength. This phenomenon occurs for reconstituted complex with long polylysine of one thousand residues or short polylysine of one hundred residues. It is shown that such a decrease of Tm′ is not due to a reduction of coupling melting between free and bound regions in a complex when the ionic strength is raised. It is also not due to intermolecular or intramolecular change from a reconstituted to a direct-mixed complex. It is suggested that this phenomenon is due to structural change on polylysine-bound regions by ionic strength. It is suggested further that Na+ may replace water molecules and bind polylysine-bound regions in a reconstituted complex. Such a dehydration effect destabilizes these regions and lowers Tm′.

    Notes: Theoretical values are reported for the specific conductivity, charge carrier mobilities, and delocalized free paths in β-polyglycine using the parallel-chain pleated sheet conformation and the all-valence electron energy band structure obtained previously. The mobilities are found to be much larger along the polypeptide backbones than in the direction of the hydrogen bonds. This indicates a mechanism of conduction in which the former path is favored for electronic delocalization. The preexponential factor of the specific conductivity obtained theoretically agrees well with experimental results.

    Critical chain length for helix formation in L-methionine oligopeptides (1974)

    Notes: The circular dichroism of a series of L-methionine oligopeptides [BOC-(Met)n-OMe] was examined in trifluoroethanol and hexafluoroacetone sesquihydrate. The results indicate that the trimer through the hexamer exists predominantly in disordered conformations in these solvents. An abrupt change in the CD pattern at the heptamer in trifluoroethanol suggests that L-methionine oligopeptides begin forming helices at this chain length.

    Notes: The spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of water adsorbed on collagen fibers was determined at six frequencies and temperatures varying from 25° to -80°C. Care was taken to eliminate the contributions to the signal of protons other than those in the adsorbed water. Quantitative calculations were made on T1 and the results were compared with the experimental data. It is suggested that a maximum of about 0.50-0.55 g water per g collagen forms a hydration layer, which cannot be frozen down to -90°C and exhibits a distribution of motional correlation times. For collagen samples containing a larger quantity of adsorbed water, the additional water molecules behave like ordinary isotropic water, having a single correlation time and a freezing temperature of about -10°C.

    Notes: Laser Raman spectra of the trinucleoside diphoshate ApApA and dinucleoside phosphates ApU, UpA, GpC, CpG, and GpU are reported and discussed. Assignments of conformationally sensitive frequencies are-facilitated by comparison with spectra reported here of poly(rA), poly(rC), and poly(rU) in deuterium oxide solutions. The significant spectral differences between ApU and UpA, and between GpC and CpG, reveal that the sequence isomers have nonidentical conformations in aqueous solution. In UpA at low temperature the bases are stacked and the backbone conformation is similar to that found in ordered polynucleotide structures and RNA. In ApU no base stacking can be detected and the backbone conformation differs from that found in UpA, both in the orientation of phosphodiester linkages and in the internal conformation of ribose. At the conditions employed neither ApU nor UpA exhibits base pairing in aqueous solutions. In both GpC and CpG the bases are stacked and the phosphodiester conformations are similar to those encountered for UpA and RNA. However, major differences between spectra of GpC and CpG indicate that the geometries of stacking and ribosyl conformations are different. In GpC the Raman data favor the formation of hydrogen bonded dimers containing GC pairs. Protonation of C in GpC is sufficient to eliminate the ordered conformation detected by Raman spectroscopy. Despite the ordered backbone conformation evident in GpU, this dinucleoside apparently contains neither stacked nor hydrogen bonded bases at the conditions employed here. The Raman data also confirm the stacking interactions in ApApA, poly(rA), and poly(rC) but suggest that the backbone conformation in poly(rC) differs qualitatively from that found in most ordered polynucleotide structures and is thermally more stable. The present results demonstrate the sensitivity of the Raman technique to sequence-related structural differences in oligonucleotides and provide additional spectra-structure correlations for future conformational studies of RNA by laser Raman spectroscopy.

    Assignment of the proton nmr chemical shifts of the T—N3H and G—N1H proton resonances in isolated AT and GC Watson-Crick base pairs in double-stranded deoxy oligonucleotides in aqueous solution (1974)

    Notes: The 300-MHz proton nmr spectra (between 11 and 14 ppm) of a series of double-stranded deoxy oligonucleotides of known sequence have been recorded in H2O solution. These resonances have been assigned to the G—N1H and T—N3H protons of specific base pairs from an evaluation of the temperature dependence of the ring NH linewidths and from the selective ring NH chemical shift changes on actinomycin-D binding. The deoxy oligonucleotides exist predominantly in the DNA-B conformation as evaluated from antibiotic binding studies. Ring-current calculations have been utilized to evaluate the up-field shifts of the G—N1H and T—N3H protons in Watson-Crick base pairs due to the ring currents from the pyrimidine and purine rings of nearest neighbor base pairs in regular DNA-B- and RNA-A-type helices. The perturbations on these up-field ring-current contributions that arise from twisting and tilting a base pair adjacent to the ring NH under study have been evaluated and found to change the calculated chemical shift by ±0.6 ppm for twist and tilt distortions of 〈30°C in a single adjacent base pair. A knowledge of the experimentally assigned ring NH chemical shifts of specific base pairs in known sequences of double-stranded deoxy oligonucleotides coupled with the ring-current tables for the DNA-B helical structure permit the assignment of 13.6 ± 0.1 ppm and 14.6 ± 0.2 ppm for the G—N1H proton of an isolated GC base pair and the T—N3H proton of an isolated AT base pair, respectively.

    Notes: This paper describes the first experimental application of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, a new method for determining chemical kinetic constants and diffusion coefficients. These quantities are measured by observing the time behaviour of the tiny concentration fluctuations which occur spontaneously in the reaction system even when it is in equilibrium. The equilibrium of the system is not disturbed during the experiment. The diffusion coefficients and chemical rate constants which determine the average time behaviour of these spontaneous fluctuations are the same as those sought by more conventional methods including temperature-jump or other perturbation techniques. The experiment consists essentially in measuring the variation with time of the number of molecules of specified reactants in a defined open volume of solution. The concentration of a reactant is measured by its fluorescence; the sample volume is defined by a focused laser beam which excites the fluorescence. The fluorescent emission fluctuates in proportion with the changes in the number of fluorescent molecules as they diffuse into and out of the sample volume and as they are created or eliminated by the chemical reactions. The number of these reactant molecules must be small to permit detection of the concentration fluctuations. Hence the sample volume is small (10-8 ml) and the concentration of the solutes is low (∼ 10-9 M). We have applied this technique to the study of two prototype systems: the simple example of pure diffusion of a single fluorescent species, rhodamine 6G, and the more interesting but more challenging example of the reaction of macromolecular DNA with the drug ethidium bromide to form a fluorescent complex. The increase of the fluorescence of the ethidium bromide upon formation of the complex permits the observation of the decay of concentration fluctuations via the chemical reaction and consequently the determination of chemical rate constants.

    Notes: The D and L copolymerizations of N-carboxy γ-benzyl glutamate anhydride (NCA) were carried out in a homogeneous solution with various D/L ratios, initiated by either n-butylamine or sodium methoxide, and were followed directly by circular dichroism (CD) to observe the behavior of the secondary structure of growing polymer molecules. In the n-butylamine system, the difference of the helical content between the righthanded and the lefthanded (Δα-helix) gradually increased as the polymerization proceeded, while in the sodium methoxide system, the Δα-helix had a tendency to decrease during the later stages of the polymerization. These results suggest a difference of the power of stereo-selection of monomer antipodes by the growing chain end between these systems, the stereoselectivity by the growing chain end in the sodium methoxide system being higher than that in the n-butylamine system.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of Ac-Ala-NHMe, cyclo(-Ala-Ala-), Ac-Ala-OMe, Ac-Ala-Ala-OMe, and Ac-Ala-Ala-Ala-OMe has been measured in water and in aqueous salt solutions as a function of temperature. Only cyclo(-Ala-Ala-) exhibits circular dichroism which is independent of temperature. Each of the linear derivatives of L-alanine exhibits a positive circular dichroism in the range 208-218 nm at 15°C in water. Heating reduces the intensity of the positive circular dichroism, and only Ac-Ala-OMe retains positive circular dichroism at 75°C in water. Isothermal addition of salts produces changes in the circular dichroism of linear derivatives of L-alanine which resemble those seen on heating. The relative effectiveness of the salts tested, at a concentration of 4M, is LiCl ≤ KCl = NaCl 〈 MgCl2 ≤ CaCl2 ≤ NaClO4. The circular dichroism of cyclo(-Ala-Ala-) is also affected by the salts. Extrapolation of the results obtained with Ac-Ala-OMe, Ac-Ala-Ala-OMe, and Ac-Ala-Ala-Ala-OMe to a long polypeptide with a -CH2R side chain in the L-configuration leads to the conclusion that this polypeptide should exhibit a temperature-dependent salt-sensitive positive circular dichroism between 208 and 218 nm when it exists as a statstical coil.

    Notes: The heats of the conformational conversion ΔHc of polyuridylic acid (polyU) in the presence of various cations were determined using a differential scanning microcalorimeter and an isothermal mixing calorimeter. The first method yields a value of ΔHc = 5.2 kcal/mol of base pairs, the second one a value of ΔHc = 6.4 kcal/mol of base pairs. Knowing ΔHc and the maximal slope of the degree of conversion, which was determined from the temperature dependence of the absorbance of polyU solutions at 260 nm, we were able to evaluate the parameter of cooperativity σ. From the relation σ = eΔFstack/RT the stacking free energy ΔFstack could be calculated. Dividing the apparent enthalpy of conversion by the calorimetrically measured enthalpy yields the cooperative length N0 of one helical segment at the midpoint of conversion. The results show that the type of the cation has no influence on the magnitude of ΔHc, whereas the cooperativity of polyU is influenced by the various cations.

    Notes: Clipped autocorrelation functions for the fluctuating intensity of light scattered from dilute solutions of poly-L-lysine in 0.2 M NaBr have been observed over a wide range of time scales down to 1.83 μsec, and over a wide range of pH. Two poly-L-lysine samples of molecular weight 35,000 and 200,000, respectively, were compared to determine the extent of draining of the so-called random-coil configuration. The observed correlation functions were in general very satisfactorily represented by simple translation diffusion of single molecules. At high pH ∼10-10.4, there was evidence of considerable aggregation, but no indication whatsoever of any unusually fast component, as reported recently by Jamieson et al. for poly-L-lysine HBr in the absence of salt.A 30% rise in the diffusion coefficient to a peak at pH 10 parallels the previously reported dip in the intrinsic viscosity, and is interpreted in terms of a more compact structure in that pH region between the coil and helix extremes.

    Notes: The conformation of deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP) from calf thymus at different stages of deproteinization was studied.The dissociation of the first portion of histone produces no effect on the hydrodynamical and optical behavior of DNP particles. The conformational transition of a macromolecule was observed as soon as the ratio of protein to DNA ≤ 0.9.The effect of ionic strength on the conformation of DNP particles with high protein content was more strongly pronounced than that for DNA. On the contrary, DNP particles depleted of proteins (protein/DNA 〈 0.9) were found to be less sensitive than DNA to the variation of ionic strength. These data imply that the DNP molecules rich in proteins possess a superstructure that is destroyed as the protein/DNA ratio becomes 0.9.The data were analyzed in view of current theories on various model concepts. The most probable model to describe the DNP molecule was chosen by comparing the calculated and experimentally obtained parameters. We believe that DNP is best described as a “compressed coil,” possibly including superhelical regions.

    Notes: Double-stranded DNA can be readily adsorbed on mica or directly on carbon coated grids from the surface of solutions containing ethidium bromide, actinomine, or propidium diiodide. The DNA molecules are unfolded, well separated, and show a length distribution similar to molecules prepared by protein monolayer techniques.Since the intercalating dyes tested do not lead to an increased apparent diameter of the nucleic acid the method is useful for the study of nucleic acid-protein complexes. As a model, the binding of E. coli RNA polymerase to phage T7 and T3 DNA was examined under different conditions. The enzyme can easily be identified and its position along the DNA molecule can be mapped.

    Notes: The synthesis and characterization of a series of oligopeptides (from the tripeptide to the octadecapeptide) with the repeating sequence L-norvalyl-glycyl-L-proline and a polytripeptide with this sequence are reported. The oligomers were synthesized step by step using the mixed anhydride method. All the products were chemically and optically pure. The polymer was prepared by the active ester method, using the p-nitrophenyl ester as the polymerizable tripeptide derivative. Good yield of relatively high average molecular-weight polymer was obtained. In the accompanying paper conformational investigations, both in solution and in the solid state, on the oligomers and the polymer are described.

    Notes: Poly(Nδ-carbobenzoxy, Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine) (PCBLO) was prepared by the standard NCA method. PCBLO was converted into poly(Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine) (PBLO) through decarbobenzoxylation with hydrogen bromide. The monomer Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine was synthesized by reacting L-ornithine with benzaldehyde, followed by hydrogenation. The conformation of the two polypeptides was studied by optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism. PCBLO forms a right-handed helix in helix-promoting solvents. In mixed solvents of chloroform and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) it undergoes a sharp helix-coil transition at 12% (v/v) DCA at 25°C, as compared with 36% for poly(Nδ-carbobenzoxy-L-ornithine) (PCLO). Like PCLO, the helix-coil transition is “inverse,” that is, high temperature favors the helical form. PBLO is soluble in water at pH below 7 and has a “coiled” conformation. In 88% (v/v) 1-propanol above pH (apparent) 9.6 it is completely helical. In 50% 1-propanol the transition pH (apparent) is about 7.4; this compares with a pHtr of about 10 for poly-L-ornithine in the same solvent.

    Notes: The binding of ethidium bromide to DNA has been studied by various optical methods. From fluorescence polarization studies, and film, electric linear dichroism, and circular dichroism spectra, we propose assignments of the absorption bands of the dye, which are discussed in connection with wave-mechanical calculations recently reported.The optical activity induced in the dye absorption bands upon binding to DNA was attributed to various origins depending on the electronic transition considered. The visible absorption band displayed a circular dichroism due to the asymmetry of the binding site and independent of the amount of binding. The transition identified at 378 nm from the circular dichroism and electric dichroism observations was thought to be due to a magnetic-dipole transition. It remained constant with increasing amounts of dye bound. The main ultraviolet band showed circular dichroism characteristics corresponding to exciton interactions between dye molecules bound to neighboring sites.The electric dichroism observed for the strongly bound dye molecules indicated that the phenanthridinium ring of ethidium bromide was probably not perfectly parallel to the DNA base planes. When the amount of dye bound to DNA exceeded the maximum amount compatible with the exclusion of adjacent binding sites, the electric dichroism decreased owing to the appearance of externally bound dye molecules with no contribution to the dichroism.Sonicated DNA was used to study the lengthening of the DNA molecule upon complexation. Although the viscosity of the complexes increased with the amount of binding, the rotational diffusion coefficient measured by the electric birefringence relaxation was not detectably affected. The absence of variation in the electric birefringence with the binding indicated that the DNA base stacking remained unaltered.

    Notes: In the polymerization of phenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) using poly(N-methyl-L-or DL-alanine) diethylamide as initiator, the polymerization rate was L-NCA ≃ D-NCA 〉 DL-NCA. This is a new type of selective polymerization and indicates the incompleteness of earlier investigations to study the asymmetrically selective polymerization without D-NCA. Neither secondary structure nor optical activity of the polymeric initiator is a reason for the selectivity. Hence the cause for the selectivity was sought in the properties of the NCA's in solution. However, the selectivity was not observed in the polymerization initiated by poly(L-phenylalanine) dimethylamide. The importance of the initiator being a secondary amine type was suggested. The experimental results are discussed on the basis of these considerations.

    Notes: Classical potential energy calculations were performed for the dinucleoside phosphates UpA and GpC. Two widely accessible low-energy regions of conformation space were found for the ω′, ω pair. That of lowest energy contains conformations similar to helical RNA, with ω′ and ω in the vicinity of 300° and 280°, respectively. All five experimental observations of crystalline GpC, two of ApU, and the helical fragment of ApApA fall in this range. The second lowest region has ω′ and ω at about 20° and 80°, respectively, which is in the general region of one experimentally observed crystalline conformer of UpA, and the nonhelical region of ApApA.It is concluded that GpC and ApU, which were crystallized as either sodium or calcium salts, are shielded from each other in the crystal by the water of hydration and are therefore free to adopt their predicted in vacuo minimum energy helical conformations. By contrast, crystalline UpA had only 1/2 water per molecule, and was forced into higher energy conformations in order to maximize intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

    Notes: Dielectric dispersion measurements on poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG) in dioxane and dioxane-dichloroacetic acid (DCA) mixtures in the frequency range 200 Hz-2 MHz were made in order to study the structure of molecular aggregates. The structure of aggregates is explained on the basis of the variation of dipole moment and relaxation time with degree of aggregation. PBLG was found to form linear head-to-tail-type aggregates in dioxane. These aggregates gradually reduce in size without loosing their α-helical structure during the process of disaggregation obtained by either adding DCA to the solution in dioxane or by heating. It was confirmed that the addition of 30 wt % DCA completely destroys the aggregation of PBLG in dioxane at 30°C. Thermal disaggregation, however, was not complete even at a temperature approaching the boiling point of the solvent.A reaction scheme for aggregation is proposed and equilibrium constants are calculated at various stages of aggregation. The enthalpy of aggregate formation is found to be -3 kcal/mol. Results of optical rotatory dispersion measurements of the helix-coil transition in this system are also presented.

    Notes: The Zimm-Bragg parameters s and σ were determined for poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) in m-cresol and in dimethylformamide (DMF) from ORD data as a function of molecular weight. It was found that, within the temperature range between 10 and 55°C and on the average, s = 1.61 ± 0.1 and √σ = 0.04 ± 0.01 in m-cresol and s = 1.65 ± 0.05 and √σ = 0.045 ± 0.015 in DMF. The values of s in m-cresol decreased with increasing temperature, while the values of σ in the same solvent increased. This result for s suggests that PBLG in m-cresol will undergo a thermal helix-coil transition of normal type. The parameters in DMF showed no appreciable trend to vary with temperature. Aside from the difference between the two solvents, our results are consistent with existing data for various conformation-dependent properties such as light-scattering radius, intrinsic viscosity, and dipole moment, each indicating that the polypeptide chain has some flexibility in helicogenic solvents.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids was calculated as a function of geometry, including terms involving n → π* transitions. The “nonbonding” n or σ orbitals were of the azine type, delocalized, but concentrated at the nitrogen atoms of the purines and pyrimidines. Dynamic coupling of the magnetic moments of the n → π* transitions with the electric moments of π → π* transitions generated important terms. Mixing of electric dipole character into n → π* transitions by the static electric field perturbation of the molecule is of lesser importance. The largest contributions of n → π* transitions to the circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids are comparable in magnitude to the sum of π → π* terms only for geometries where the circular dichroism is weak. Using both n → π* and π → π* contributions one is able to match experimental and calculated circular dichroism spectra for DNA's over a much wider range of conditions than was possible previously.

    Notes: Laser Raman spectra are reported for solid films cast from a series of solutions containing mixtures of right- and left-handed α-helices of poly-γ-benzyl-L- and D-glutamate. Procedures were established for producing spectra that were reproducible in position to ±0.3 cm-1 and in relative intensity to a few percent for features of interest. Spectra for the pure L and pure D polymers were identical, as expected. Several small but definite spectral changes appear in the mixtures, reaching a maximum for the racemic 50:50 mixture. The changes are a shift of -1.4 cm-1 in the amide I peak at 1650.5 cm-1; a shift of about -5 cm-1 in the partially resolved amide III peak at 1291 cm-1; a shift of +2.5 cm-1 in the benzyl peak at 3062.5 cm-1; changes in relative intensity of as much as 50% in several regions; and the marked enhancement of several peaks, particularly that at 254 cm-1. These changes are discussed in terms of side-chain interactions in the packing of right- and left-handed helices.

    Notes: Self-diffusion coefficient measurements have been applied to the study of Na+, Ca++, and Sr++ in the presence of a linear acidic polysaccharide extracted from cartilage, i.e., chondroitin sulfate. A series of experimental determinations was made with and without supporting electrolytes, and an analysis of experiments involving the separation of the electrostatic interaction terms by an extension of Manning's theory produced results showing the preponderant nature of these electrostatic terms. The specificity of each type of ion or the influence of the pH can be considered merely as higher order corrections with respect to the preceding interactions. Counterion concentration ranges and pH ranges were determined, where either the alkaline-earth counterions become free and hence move with their normal diffusion rate, or these cations are associated with the polyelectrolyte molecule, thus giving a diffusion coefficient similar to that of the macromolecule, or the apparent diffusion coefficients vary between these two extreme diffusion rates as a function of the association equilibria. This variation can be expressed as a function of the linear charge density parameter ξ related to the structure of the polyelectrolyte, the value of which was determined and found in good agreement with published values.

    Notes: The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of polyproline II (PPII) has heretofore been moderately well calculated from exciton theory only at the expense of assuming unreasonable chain conformations and accepting a conservative spectrum in the 180-250-nm region (which is not observed). We have incorporated far uv transitions in the polarizability approximation and, together with the π2π* transition, have calculated the resulting correction to the exciton model. This has been accompanied by a modified assignment of the ππ* transition in PPII, and a simultaneous calculation of the absorption and CD spectra of the α-helix, β structure, PPI, and PPII. We obtain good agreement with the observed CD spectrum of PPII in the 180-250-nm region for acceptable chain conformations. In addition, we predict a negative CD into the far uv, in agreement with recent experimental observations. Our calculations also reproduce features of the far uv CD spectrum of the α-helix, and are in agreement with the CD spectra of the β chain and PPI. The calculated CD of the unordered polypeptide chain is not significantly influenced by far uv contributions, indicating that our previous calculation is valid for such a system. These results demonstrate the importance of incorporating far uv transitions in order to achieve an adequate theoretical explanation of the CD spectra of polypeptides.

    Notes: The intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight of several samples of polyhydroxyethylaspartamide with differing degrees of polymerization were determined and related, according to the Mark-Howink equation. The a exponent is consistent with a random-coil structure. The average unperturbed dimensions of the polymer, the dimensions in water, and the water-polymer interaction parameter were calculated according to Flory and Fox. The interaction of the polymer with water may explain its good efficacy as a plasma expander, as has previously been demonstrated in biological experiments. The behavior of the molecule in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride solution was also studied: this solvent has a very slight effect on the configuration of the polymer, in contrast with its normal effect on proteins.

    Notes: Microcalorimetric heat capacity measurements on dilute and concentrated solutions and films of poly[d(A-T)·d(A-T)] in 2 M sodium chloride have been carried out. Values for enthalpy, entropy, and temperature of the helix-coil transition have been found to depend on the polymer concentration, and to have maxima near 20% (w/w) of polymer. The results are discussed in terms of polynucleotide hydration as one of the structure stabilizing factors.

    Evaluation of kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of native collagen by thermogravimetric analysis (1974)

    Notes: The kinetic parameters associated with the thermal decomposition of native collagen have been obtained by thermogravimetric techniques. In order to achieve this a thermogravimetric analysis was carried out in the temperature range of 25°C to about 1000°C. In this temperature range, it had been found that the differential primary weight loss curve had yielded three distinct peaks for the tendon collagen. The thermal decomposition corresponding to each peak was analyzed to retrieve its kinetic parameters. The peak temperature associated with the first peak decreased as the water content in a sample increased, while that of the second peak was independent of its hydration condition. It is believed that the first and the second peaks are, respectively, results of: (1) dissociation of water from collagen, and (2) of breaking of the collagen molecule itself. The third peak has not been easily identified so far. The activation energy and the order of water decomposition are obtained by various known methods. The results obtained by these different approaches agree reasonably well. The kinetic parameters of second and third peak are also obtained and reported here.

    Notes: The problem of calculating detailed probability profiles giving the probability of each unit in the chain to be in the ordered state (and all other average quantities as well including the fraction of strand association) for specific-sequence macromolecules requiring statistical weights that correlate up to the total number of units in the chain (e.g., DNA, collagen) is formulated in terms of recursion relations for appropriate a priori and conditional probabilities, thus generalizing the approach of Lacombe and Simha for nearest-neighbor correlations in specific sequence macromolecules. The technique allows the probability profiles for chains of thousands of units to be calculated in minutes making no approximation in the basic model.
