Determination Of Netropsin-Dna Binding Constants From Footprinting Data, Brian Ward, Robert Rehfuss, Jerry Goodisman, James C. Dabrowiak Sep 1987

Determination Of Netropsin-Dna Binding Constants From Footprinting Data, Brian Ward, Robert Rehfuss, Jerry Goodisman, James C. Dabrowiak

Chemistry - All Scholarship

A theory for deriving drug-DNA site binding constants from footprinting data is presented. Plots of oligonucleotide concentration, as a function of drug concentration, for various cutting positions on DNA are required. It is assumed that the rate of cleavage at each nucleotide position is proportional to the concentration of enzyme at that nucleotide and to the probability that the nucleotide is not blocked by drug. The probability of a nucleotide position not being blocked is calculated by assuming a conventional binding equilibrium for each binding site with exclusions for overlapping sites. The theory has been used to evaluate individual site …


Observation Of An Oxygen Isotope Effect In Yba2Cu3O7, Kevin J. Leary, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, Steven W. Keller, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, James N. Michaels, Angelica M. Stacy Sep 1987

Observation Of An Oxygen Isotope Effect In Yba2Cu3O7, Kevin J. Leary, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, Steven W. Keller, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, James N. Michaels, Angelica M. Stacy

A small decrease in Tc of 0.3 K to 0.5 K is observed when as much as 90% of the 16O in YBa2Cu3O7 is substituted with18O. This result is consistent with our observation that there is an oxygen isotope effect in La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, but in contrast with previous reports that there is no isotope effect for YBa2Cu3O7. This new result suggests that phonons play an important role in the electron-pairing mechanism in YBa2Cu3O7.


Observation Of An Isotope Shift In The Superconducting Transition Temperature Of La1.85Sr0.15Cuo4, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, Steven W. Keller, Kevin J. Leary, James N. Michaels, Angelica M.

An oxygen isotope shift is observed in superconducting La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 when 18O is substituted partially for 16O; the superconducting transition temperature Tc is lowered by 0.3 to 1.0 K in different samples. We examine these results using conventioanl phonon-mediated BCS theory and conclude that, for La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, phonons play an important role in the pairing mechanism.


Search For Isotope Effect In Superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O, L C. Bourne, M F. Crommie, A Zettl, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, S W. Keller, K L. Leary, Angelica M. Stacy, K J. Chang, Marvin L. Cohen, Donald E. Morris Jun 1987

Search For Isotope Effect In Superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O, L C. Bourne, M F. Crommie, A Zettl, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, S W. Keller, K L. Leary, Angelica M. Stacy, K J. Chang, Marvin L. Cohen, Donald E. Morris

An isotope effect has been searched for in the high-Tc, superconductor YBa2Cu307 —b through substitution of 180 for 16O. No shift in the superconducting transition temperature T, is observed by electrical resistivity or magnetic susceptibility measurements. We discuss the implications of this result for mechanisms of superconductivity in the high-T, oxides.


Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes May 1987

Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The glycation (nonenzymatic glycosylation) of several proteins was studied in various buffiner os rder to assess the effects of buffering ions on the kinetics and specificity of glycation of protein. Incubation of RNase with glucose in phosphate buffer resulted in inactivation of the enzyme because of preferential modification of lysine residues ino r near the activsei te. In contrast, in the cationic buffers, 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid and 3-(N-tris(hydroxymethyl)rnethylamino)- 2-hydroxypropanesulfonica cid, the kineticso f glycation of RNase were decreased 2- to 3-fold, there was a decrease in glycation of active site versus peripheral lysines, and the enzyme was resistant to inactivation by …

Nonlinear dynamics plays a dominant role in a variety of important problems in chemical physics. Examples are unimolecular reactions,’ infrared multiphoton decomposition of molecules,’ the pumping process of the gamma ray laser,’ dissociation of vibrationally excited state-selected van der Waals’s complexes,’ and many other chemical and atomic processes. The present article discusses recent theoretical studies on the quasi-periodic and chaotic dynamical aspects of vibrational-rotational states of atomic, nuclear, and molecular systems using the semiclassical spectral method (SSM).’ We note that the coordinates, momenta, and so on, are found using classical mechanics in the studies included in this review. Consequently, certain …
