X-Ray Structure Of The Quinoprotein Ethanol Dehydrogenase From Pseudomonas Aeruginosa: Basis Of Substrate Specificity, Thomas Keitel, Annette Diehl, Tobias Knaute, John J. Stezowski, Wolfgang Hohne, Helmut Görisch

John J. Stezowski Publications

The homodimeric enzyme form of quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933 crystallizes readily with the space group R3. The X-ray structure was solved at 2.6 Å resolution by molecular replacement. Aside from differences in some loops, the folding of the enzyme is very similar to the large subunit of the quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenases from Methylobacterium extorquens or Methylophilus W3A1. Eight W-shaped β-sheet motifs are arranged circularly in a propeller-like fashion forming a disk-shaped superbarrel. No electron density for a small subunit like that in methanol dehydrogenase could be found. The prosthetic group is located in the centre …

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Methodology for the synthesis of the C7–C13 segment (19) and C14–C24 segment (41) of macrolactin A have been developed. Dicarbonyl(methyl 7-nitro-2E,4Z-heptadienoate)triphenylphosphineiron (19) is prepared by nucleophilic addition to a (1-methoxycarbonylpentadienyl)iron cation. The C23 stereocenter of 41 is established by introduction of a C20 stereocenter, chirality transfer from C20 to C23 followed by (diene)iron mediated selective ionic reduction of the C20 hydroxyl. The C15 stereocenter may be established by nitrile oxide–olefin cyclocondensation.

Thermal Degradation Of Cross-Linked Polyisoprene And Polychloroprene, David D. Jiang, Galina F. Levchik, Sergei V. Levchik, Caroline Dick, John J. Liggat, C.E. Snape, Charles A. Wilkie

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Polyisoprene and polychloroprene have been cross-linked either in solution or in solid state using free radical initiators. In the comparable experimental conditions higher cross-linking density was observed in the solid state process. Independent of the cross-linking method, polychloroprene tended to give a higher gel content and cross-link density than does polyisoprene. Infrared characterization of the cross-linked materials showed cis-trans isomerization occurred in the polyisoprene initiated by benzoyl peroxide, whereas no isomerization was found in the samples initiated by dicumyl peroxide. Polyisoprene does not cross-link by heating in a thermal analyzer, whereas polychloroprene easily undergoes cross-linking in such conditions. Infrared …

Freezing Transition Of A Strongly Dipolar Simple Fluid, G.T. Gao, Xiao Cheng Zeng Mar 2000

Freezing Transition Of A Strongly Dipolar Simple Fluid, G.T. Gao, Xiao Cheng Zeng

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

The freezing transition of a strongly dipolar Lennard-Jones fluid is investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the system undergoes a ferroelectric liquid-to-solid transition when cooled under a constant pressure. Near the triple point the stable solid phase is a body-centered orthorhombic ferroelectric crystal; a metastable ferroelectric solid phase with distorted hexagonal lattice structure is also discovered. To locate the freezing point, Gibbs free energies of the solid and liquid phase are determined using a thermodynamic integration method.

Chromate Dissociation From Primer Paint In Simulated Lung Fluid, Tiffany J. R. Morgan Mar 2000

Chromate Dissociation From Primer Paint In Simulated Lung Fluid, Tiffany J. R. Morgan

Theses and Dissertations

OSHA has proposed a new strontium chromate exposure standard that would potentially cause Air Force paint facilities to be in violation of the proposed standard if adopted. This proposed reduction make the continued use of chromate containing primer paints very difficult. There is currently no acceptable replacements for chromate containing primer paints on AF aircraft. This study suggests that paint particles with chromate bound in primer paint may be unavailable for bodily absorption if inhaled and a reduced standard for painting applications may be unnecessary. Primer paint overspray was collected into simulated lung fluid (SLF) and allowed 6 hr, 24 …

Conceptual Problems With Remote Element Synthesis, Oliver Manuel Mar 2000

Conceptual Problems With Remote Element Synthesis, Oliver Manuel

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The notion of remote element synthesis has recently been modified to explain the presence of nucleogenetic isotopic anomalies and decay products of short-lived nuclides by injection of a small amount of exotic nucleogenetic material. Even with this modification, remote element synthesis seems inconsistent with the following observations: Evidence of coupled variations in the chemical and isotopic compositions of the source material for meteorites. Residual coupling of chemical and isotopic heterogeneities across planetary distances in the solar system today. The mass-fractionation relationship seen across isotopes of elements in the planetary system, in the solar wind, and in solar flares. Linkage of …

Effect Of Interfacial Tension On Propagating Polymerization Fronts, R. Texier-Picard, John A. Pojman, Vitaly Volpert Mar 2000

Effect Of Interfacial Tension On Propagating Polymerization Fronts, R. Texier-Picard, John A. Pojman, Vitaly Volpert

Faculty Publications

This paper is devoted to the investigation of polymerization fronts converting a liquid monomer into a liquid polymer. We assume that the monomer and the polymer are immiscible and study the influence of the interfacial tension on the front stability. The mathematical model consists of the reaction-diffusion equations coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations through the convection terms. The jump conditions at the interface take into account the interfacial tension. Simple physical arguments show that the same temperature distribution could not lead to Marangoni instability for a nonreacting system. We fulfill a linear stability analysis and show that interaction of the …

Methyl-Substituted Dispiro-1,2,4,5-Tetraoxanes:  Correlations Of Structural Studies With Antimalarial Activity, Kevin J. Mccollough, James K. Wood, Walter Reed Army Institute Of Research, Yuxiang Dong, Jonathan L. Vennerstrom Mar 2000

Methyl-Substituted Dispiro-1,2,4,5-Tetraoxanes:  Correlations Of Structural Studies With Antimalarial Activity, Kevin J. Mccollough, James K. Wood, Walter Reed Army Institute Of Research, Yuxiang Dong, Jonathan L. Vennerstrom

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Two tetramethyl-substituted dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (7,8,15,16-tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]- hexadecanes) 3 and 4 were designed as metabolically stable analogues of the dimethylsubstituted dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane prototype WR 148999 (2). For a positive control we selected the sterically unhindered tetraoxane 5 (7,8,15,16-tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]hexadecane), devoid of any substituents. Tetraoxanes 3 and 4 were completely inactive in contrast to tetraoxanes 2 and 5. We hypothesize that the two inactive tetraoxanes possess sufficient steric hindrance about the tetraoxane ring due to the two additional axial methyl groups to prevent their activation to presumed parasiticidal carbon radicals by inhibiting electron transfer from heme or other iron(II) species. For each of the tetraoxanes 2-4, …

Design, Synthesis, And Evaluation Of A Novel Serine Protease Inhibitor Based On Monocyclic Β-Lactams, Ian M. Paquette Mar 2000

Design, Synthesis, And Evaluation Of A Novel Serine Protease Inhibitor Based On Monocyclic Β-Lactams, Ian M. Paquette

All Theses And Dissertations

Serine proteases are a large family of proteolytic enzymes which utilize a serine residue as a reactive nucleophile in the active site. Some of the more common serine proteases are chymotrypsin, trypsin, thrombin, human leukocyte elastase (HLE), human cathepsin G, and human cytomegalovirus protease (HCMV protease). Unregulated serine protease activity has been implicated in several common ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis, emphysema, pancreatitis, atherosclerosis, cystic fibrosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. Since serine proteases are responsible for the onset of such a wide range of diseases, there is an equivalent need for a large library of synthetic serine protease inhibitors to selectively counteract …

The Nonplanarity Of The Peptide Group: Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Steven W. Rick Mar 2000

The Nonplanarity Of The Peptide Group: Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Steven W. Rick

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The general properties of the peptide bond can be described from a linear combination of two states: a single bond neutral form and a double bond zwitterionic form. However, environmental effects can shift the balance of the linear combination. This would cause the rigidity of torsional rotations of the peptide bond to be environmentally dependent and, in fact, an analysis of protein structures in the protein data bank reveals a different degree of nonplanarity for different secondary structure elements. A potential is presented in which the peptide bond is treated as a linear combination of two states; the coefficients of …

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Supersaturated Vapor Nucleation In Slit Pore, K. Yasuoka, G.T. Gao, Xiao Cheng Zeng Mar 2000

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Supersaturated Vapor Nucleation In Slit Pore, K. Yasuoka, G.T. Gao, Xiao Cheng Zeng

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

Molecular dynamics simulations of nucleation of Lennard-Jones vapor confined in a slit pore have been performed. The walls of the slit pore are structureless walls; each wall interacts with vapor molecules via Lennard-Jones 9–3 potential. The rate of nucleation in the steady state is determined by analyzing time evolution of the cluster size distribution. At the same vapor density and temperature, the nucleation rate in the slit pore is higher than in the homogeneous vapor [K. Yasuoka and M. Matsumoto, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 8451 (1998)], irrespective of the strength of attraction between the wall and vapor molecules. However, this …

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

Second-order [O(k2), k = ω/c] nondipole effects in soft-x-ray photoemission are demonstrated via an experimental and a theoretical study of angular distributions of neon valence photoelectrons in the 100–1200 eV photon-energy range. A newly derived theoretical expression for nondipolar angular distributions characterizes the second-order effects using four new parameters with primary contributions from pure-quadrupole and octupole-dipole interference terms. Independent-particle calculations of these parameters account for a significant portion of the existing discrepancy between experiment and theory for Ne 2p first-order nondipole parameters.

Effect Of Different Species Of Cobalt Additive On Performance Of Nickel Hydroxide Electrode, Xian-Xia Yuan, Yin-Dong Wang, Feng Zhan Feb 2000

Effect Of Different Species Of Cobalt Additive On Performance Of Nickel Hydroxide Electrode, Xian-Xia Yuan, Yin-Dong Wang, Feng Zhan

Journal of Electrochemistry

Performances of nickel electrodes when adding or without adding Cobalt in different forms were studied, the results were interpreted by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS). It was demonstrated that the additions of Co, CoO, CoO+Co by mechanically mixing with Ni(OH)2 all can improve the performance of nickel electrode to some extent, and when Co is added in the form of CoO the best performance can be obtained. This can be mainly attributed to the fact that three kinds of Co additives all improved the structure of nickel hydroxide and the ability of H+ in electrolyte transporting …
