Substrate Specificity, Metal Binding Properties, And Spectroscopic Characterization Of The Dape-Encoded N-Succinyl-L,L-Diaminopimelic Acid Desuccinylase From Haemophilus Influenzae, David L. Bienvenue, Danuta M. Gilner, Ryan S. Davis, Brian Bennett, Richard C. Holz

The catalytic and structural properties of divalent metal ion cofactor binding sites in the dapE-encoded N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) from Haemophilus influenzae were investigated. Co(II)-substituted DapE enzyme was 25% more active than the Zn(II)-loaded form of the enzyme. Interestingly, Mn(II) can activate DapE, but only to ∼20% of the Zn(II)-loaded enzyme. The order of the observed kcat values are Co(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Mn(II) >Ni(II) ∼ Cu(II) ∼ Mg(II). DapE was shown to only hydrolyze l,l-N-succinyl-diaminopimelic acid (l,l-SDAP) and was inactive toward d,l-, l,d-, and d,d-SDAP. DapE was also inactive toward several acetylated amino acids as …

Mononuclear copper(II) methoxide complexes supported by N3S(thioether) chelate ligands having two internal hydrogen bond donors have been prepared, comprehensively characterized, and evaluated for hydrolytic reactivity.
Localized Ferromagnetic Resonance In Inhomogeneous Thin Films, R. D. Mcmichael, D. J. Twisselmann, Andrew Kunz
Localized Ferromagnetic Resonance In Inhomogeneous Thin Films, R. D. Mcmichael, D. J. Twisselmann, Andrew Kunz
Physics Faculty Research and Publications
The effect of sample inhomogeneity on the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth is determined by diagonalization of a spin wave Hamiltonian for ferromagnetic thin films with inhomogeneities spanning a wide range of characteristic length scales. A model inhomogeneity is used that consist of size D grains and an anisotropy field Hp that varies randomly from grain to grain in a film with thickness d and magnetization Ms. The resulting linewidth agrees well with the two-magnon model for small inhomogeneity, HpD « πMsd. For large inhomogeneity, HpD » πMsd the precession …

In this paper, we describe modeling of the effects of magnetic inhomogeneity on ferromagnetic resonance line width using eigen mode analyses of inhomogeneous thin magnetic films.
