Isoelectric focusing of basic proteins: the problem of oxidation of cysteines

Isoelectric focusing of human globin chains in polyacrylamide gels dried in the ambient atmosphere and rehydrated in the presence of 8 mol/L urea produces artefactual doublets of zones as a result of oxidation by the gel. This oxidation can be avoided in separations of short duration by adding a reducing agent (e.g. 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol to the rehydration solution (Altland, K. and Rossmann, U., Electrophoresis 1985, 6, 314-325). We now demonstrate that the observed zone doublets can be explained by assuming neutralization of the contribution of dissociated sulfhydryl group of cysteine to pI by partial and reversible formation of globin dimers held together by disulfide bridges. Long time separations, requiring e.g. more than 4 h at greater than or equal to 500 V/cm, in pH gradients exceeding pH 7.5, are accompanied by artefactual oxidation from both the atmosphere and the gel matrix. Oxidation from the atmosphere as well as the effect of carbon dioxide can be eliminated by overlayering the gel with paraffin oil. Oxidation from the gel matrix can only partially be inhibited by rehydration of gels in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol. Nearly complete protection against oxidation by the gel matrix was achieved by adding a permanent supply of 2-ME to the gel or by adding DTT to the cathodic wick towards the end of the experiment. Alkylation with iodoacetamide or iodoacetic acid resulted in stable globin patterns, which, however, displayed additional artefactual zones. Our experimental data indicate that the polyacrylamide gels function as an electron acceptor for dissociated sulfhydryl groups in proteins, even after pretreatment with strong reducing agents for proteins.     

Comparison of cryoscopic determinations of purity of benzene by thermometric and calorimetric procedures

Workers at the National Bureau of Standards and elsewhere have been conscious of the discordant results sometimes yielded by two methods for determining purity employing the same physical principle. A comparison was made on samples of benzene by the thermometeric method, by which a stirred sample is frozen at nearly constant rate, and by the calorimetric method, by which a frozen sample is melted in stages by the addition of accurately controlled increments of energy under adiabatic conditions.Benzene, purified by single crystal formation and of very high purity, was contaminated in known amounts by n-heptane and samples of the same level of purity determined by both procedures. Great care was taken to submit samples of the same composition to the different groups employing the two different methods. Further, the actual degree of contamination of the benzene was unknown to both groups until final values of the purity were submitted. Results of this comparison showed that the large divergence between the two methods that had characterized earlier comparisons is not displayed. The differences between the analyses on all three samples are roughly of the order of the statistically estimated uncertainties of the averages and less than deviations between individual experiments by one method. Comparison of the methods with absolute values of purity could not be made because of contamination of the highly purified sample of benzene with supposedly chemically adsorbed water from the borosilicate glass walls.

History of the Development and Growth of Thermosetting Polymers

Fibrous proteins are cross-linked through the disulfide linkages of cystine; animal and vegetable proteins can be cross-linked by the reaction of tannic acid, chromic acid, or formaldehyde; and natural rubber can be vulcanized by heating with sulfur. However, most thermosetting polymers are synthetic polymers. These include saturated polyesters (Glyptals) synthesized by Smith in 1901, phenolic plastics produced by Baekeland in 1907, urea and melamine plastics produced by John and Henkel in 1918 and 1935, alkyds patented by Kienle in 1933, glycol maleates patented by Ellis in 1937, and epoxy resins patented by Schlack in 1933. Many of these developments were made prior to the advent of commercial synthetic thermoplastics. However, because their fabrication is more labor intensive than that of thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics now account for less than 20% of all plastics produced. Nevertheless, over 2.5 million tons of these thermosets are produced annually and the use of these cross-linked plastics continues to grow.     

Synthesis of Neoglycolipid Analogues of the Oligosaccharide Portion of Ganglioside GM3

In order to elucidate the molecular specificity of the antimelanoma response induce by GM3 included in proteoliposome preparation, we designed syntheses of a series of neoglycolipids containing the trisaccharide portion of GM3 or its fragment. In the present paper, we synthesized two neoglicolipids containing as a lipid, a racemic glycerol unit substituted by two aliphatic octadecyl ether chains. The di‐ and trisaccharide derivatives were prepared as glycosides of the spacer by a sequence of isopropilidenation‐benzylation‐hydrolysis followed by sialylation. The condensation between the oligosaccharides and the lipid was performed by an amidation reaction.

Pulse polarographic determination of the complexation capacity of various organic phosphonates of heavy metals with the aid of design of experiments

This study presents the determination of the complexation capacity of phosphonates (ATMP, EDTMP, and DTPMP) by differential pulse polarography. All of them are non-volatile, stable in water samples, and resistant to hydrolysis. Therefore, their decomposition rate in natural water is low. The metal complexation capacity of these phosphonates was detected for cobalt, copper, and zinc ions. DTPMP is the best of the investigated chelating agents for these three metal ions.Owing to the environmental fate of aminocarboxylates, these were often replaced by phosphonates. Therefore, we compared NTA and EDTA with ATMP and EDTMP according to their Zn-CC and could find out approximately four times higher complexation of zinc ions by phosphonates than by aminocarboxylates.Furthermore, the interaction between phosphonates and the influence of iron ions on the Zn-CC were investigated by chemometric means. The design of experiments indicated no significant interaction in phosphonate mixtures but significant influence of iron ions. Thus, the complexation capacity of a mixture of ATMP, EDTMP, and DTPMP can be calculated by the addition of several individual Zn-CC of the phosphonates according to their percentage in the mixture. A similar calculation is impossible in the presence of iron ions.     

The influence of the addition of electrolytes on the degree of dispersion of silver iodide hydrosol

The changes in the degree of dispersion of AgI hydrosols produced by reaction of AgNO₃ and KI with the addition of other electrolytes (1–60 min after addition of AgNO₃ to KI) were investigated by photometric methods. The results obtained suggest that in the process of rapid condensation (caused by a sudden increase in concentration to a value considerably higher than the critical one) colloidal particles do not form by continuous growth of individual nuclei but through disaggregation of loose and amorphous, i. e. thermodynamically unstable clusters of previously formed embryos. This disaggregation process, termed protopeptization by the authors in order to underline its analogy with the peptization process, increases in magnitude with the strengthening adsorption of potential-determining ions (protopeptizing agents) by the particles formed in the precipitation process.

Synthesis of hexamethyleneamides of organic acids

Twenty hexamethyleneamides of various organic acids have been synthesized by a direct transamidation reaction. The process consists in the previous mixing of hexamethyleneimine, acetic anhydride, and the corresponding acid, heating the resulting mixture to the boil, and distilling off the acetic acid formed through a fractionating column. The synthesis of amides by this method is characterized by high yields and comparatively short times.     

The determination of small amounts of vanadium in the presence of large amounts of uranium

To eliminate the color interference of large amounts of uranium in the determination of vanadium by the Hamner method, the vanadium was separated prior to titration by the extraction of vanadium cupferrate with chloroform. The chloroform extract was evaporated with sulfuric acid and the excess cupferron removed by oxidation with nitric acid and perchloric acid. The vanadium was reduced with ferrous ammonium, sulfate solution, the excess ferrous ion oxidized with ammonium persulfate, and the vanadium (IV) titrated with 0.02 N potassium permanganate. As little as 1.02 mg of vanadium in the presence of 5 g of uranium oxide was determined accurately by this method.     

Mechanisms of pyrolysis of fluoropolymers

A systematic study of the mechanisms of the pyrolysis of fluoropolymers was made by means of pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and direct Py-MS. For perfluoropolymers and chlorine-containing fluoropolymers the depolymerization reaction predominates during pyrolysis. However, the introduction of OCF₃ groups into perfluoropolymers in place of F atoms brings about significant changes in their mode of degradation. The OCF₃ groups activate the F atoms attached to the same carbon atoms and make them easier to transfer. Therefore, random chain cleavage accompanied by the F transfer becomes predominant in the course of the pyrolysis. When the F atoms of perfluoropolymers are partly replaced by H atoms, elimination of hydrogen fluoride and chain cleavage accompanied by H transfer would occur with great ease. For fluoropolymers containing H, Cl and OCF₃ as side groups, the depolymerization, the elimination of hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride and the random chain cleavage accompanied by H and F transfer would occur simultaneously and compete with each other.     

Selectivity of catalytic methods of determination

By means of catalytic analytical methods, extremely low levels can be determined at low cost and with a high sensitivity that is equal to that of physical methods of trace analysis. The selectivity of the catalytic determinations, is, however, usually rather lower than that of other methods of trace analysis. The selectivity can sometimes be improved by modification of the indicator reaction through variation of the reagents and their concentrations, or by use of masking reagents or activators, or by combination with a separation method. Modification of the indicator reaction can be exemplified by the selective determination of osmium and ruthenium by their catalysis of the nitrate oxidation of 1-naphthylamine. By variation of the nitrate concentration and the use of 1,10-phenanthroline and 8-hydroxyquinoline as complexing agents it is possible to determine these two elements simultaneously. An especially significant increase in the selectivity is made possible by use of a preliminary separation step. If the ion to be determined is separated by solvent extraction and then catalytically determined directly in the extract, a very specific determination is possible; this technique has been called "extractive catalytic determination". This method has been used for determination of molybdenum (0.5 ng/ml) in sea-water, iron (5 ng/ml) in heavy metal salts, and copper (3 ng/ml) in the presence of numerous elements.     

Inter-laboratory comparison of the chemical analysis of silicon nitride

The following analytical methods have been tested: nitrogen by acid decomposition under pressure followed by Kjeldahl distillation; oxygen by carrier-gas hot extraction; carbon by combustion in oxygen and infrared detection; metallic impurities after acid decomposition under pressure and evaporation of silicon fluoride by AAS or ICP-OES.     

Mechanism of the second sulfenylation of indole

Sulfenylation of indole using a sulfenyl chloride occurs initially at the 3-position of the ring, leading to a 3-indolyl sulfide. When an excess of sulfenyl chloride is used, a second sulfide group is introduced at the 2-position, and an indolyl 2,3-bis-sulfide results. We have demonstrated that this second sulfenylation occurs not by direct introduction of the second sulfide at the 2-position but via initial formation of an indolenium 3,3-bis-sulfide intermediate, followed by migration of one of the sulfide groups to the 2-position. This was achieved by the isolation of two examples of 3H-indole 3,3-bis-sulfides and by subsequent demonstration that they rearrange to the indolyl 2,3-bis-sulfides by treatment with sulfenyl halides.
