掺杂立方AgBr乳剂介电频谱的研究——Ⅰ.Cd++、Cu++离子的影响

测定了立方AgBr乳剂经添加不同量Cd(NO₃)₂、CdCl₂、CdBr₂、Cu(NO₃)₂、CuCl₂、CuBr₂、KCl和KBr以后的介电频谱,发现Cd⁺⁺离子只有在卤素离子存在的情况下才能进入AgBr微晶的表面层晶格,使AgBr微晶表面层内填隙银离子浓度降低,从而使AgBr乳剂的介电吸收峰明显向低频方向偏移.Cu⁺⁺离子很难进入AgBr微晶的表面层晶格,因而对介电吸收峰的位置和形状没有明显影响.这种差别可能主要是由于Cd⁺⁺和Cu⁺⁺离子的离子半径、电子层构型及晶体中的配位情况不同所引起的.最后,对Sillars方程应用于照相乳剂体系的条件作了初步探讨.     

具有重要生物学意义的重金属及过渡金属离子荧光分子探针

过渡金属及重金属广泛地存在于自然界中,其中的一些元素（如铜、锌等）在生命过程中具有非常重要的功能,而另外一些元素（如铅、汞、镉等）则在很低浓度时就对生物体具有极强的毒性。本文简要介绍了金属离子荧光探针的设计原理,并综述了近5年来具有重要生物学意义的重金属及过渡金属离子Pb²⁺、Hg²⁺、Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺、Cu⁺、Zn²⁺荧光分子探针的设计合成、性能及其在活细胞中应用研究的最新进展。     

金属离子对彩色成像过程的影响

通过测量和计算彩色单层片中成色剂的照相活性、偶合效率以及漂白前银密度等参数,研究了在分散四当量成色剂青(Ⅰ)时掺入金属离子Mg²⁺、Zn²⁺、Fe³⁺和Cu²⁺对彩色青单层片的成像过程中各个化学反应的影响。本实验的结果表明,成色剂中加入的金属离子Cu²⁺和Fe³⁺对成像过程的初始反应中的Ag影像形成产生不利的影响,但它们能促进偶合过程中青(Ⅰ)与显影剂氧化产物作用所生成的隐色体转变成染料的速率。Mg²⁺和Zn²⁺的加入主要是对偶合过程中青(Ⅰ)的偶合效率产生不利的影响。上述原因的综合影响,最终降低了彩色单层片的感光度。     

HPZL和TBP对金属离子的萃取和协同萃取机理

本文报导用两相滴定法研究HPZL和TBP的苯溶液对Pb⁺⁺、Ni⁺⁺、Mn⁺⁺、Co⁺⁺、Ca⁺⁺、Mg⁺⁺、Cd⁺⁺、La⁺⁺⁺诸离子的萃取和协同萃取机理得到的结果。 1.确定了有关萃合物和协萃络合物的组成和相应的平衡常数。 2.实验表明,萃取作用比较强的金属离子,协萃效应比较弱;而萃取作用比较弱的金属离子协萃作用则较强。所以,萃取性能比协萃性能更反映出金属离子之间的差异。 3.发现配位数和配位键的共价性之间有以下关系:若配位键的共价性较强,则配位数倾向于取较小的值,协同效应较弱;若配位键的离子性较强,则配位数倾向于取较大的值,协萃效应较强。

Cu2+对腺嘧啶-胸腺嘧啶碱基对阴离子质子转移的影响

采用B3LYP/DZP++方法研究了腺嘌呤-胸腺嘧啶(A-T)碱基对阴离子(AT)-的单质子转移机理以及金属离子Cu2+对(AT)-碱基对质子转移的影响.(AT)-碱基对的单质子转移路径是由胸腺嘧啶N25位上的质子H26沿分子间的氢键N25-H26…N10转移到腺嘌呤的N10位.金属Cu2+可通过络合作用分别吸附在(AT)-碱基对O24、O28、N4、N13上,从而影响(AT)-碱基对中质子转移过程.Cu2+络合作用在胸腺嘧啶(T)的O24、O28上时,发生了从胸腺嘧啶到腺嘌呤方向上的单质子转移反应;而作用在腺嘌呤(A)的N4、N13上时,得到了双质子转移的稳定产物.     

堆积的胸腺嘧啶体系光物理失活的动力学模拟

采用半经典动力学方法模拟了π堆积的胸腺嘧啶体系最低激发态的光物理失活过程.设置激光脉冲仅作用于一个胸腺嘧啶分子T,另一胸腺嘧啶分子T’保持基态.模拟发现由于T与T’之间存在π堆积相互作用,导致电荷转移,形成T带负电荷、T’带正电符的激基复合物.由于相邻分子的空间效应阻碍了激发的T分子到达圆锥相交所必需的强烈扭曲,激基复合物的寿命比单体增长.当分子间距离缩短至0.3 nm后,T分子C₅—C₆键扭曲程度最大,此时发生电荷重组,两个胸腺嘧啶分子均恢复电中性.电荷重组诱导T’分子发生畸变,并在C₅’—C₆’扭曲最大时避免相交,体系衰减至基态,T和T’分子均恢复平面构型.     

酞菁化合物光敏化氧化-还原反应的研究——Ⅰ.吸收光谱的研究

本文报道了几种金属酞菁化合物的吸收光谱及其特征参数。它们在可见区域内单分子吸收光谱基本是相似的,其最低电子跃迁特征吸收峰λ_max在650—700nm范围,其值随溶剂极性增加而略向红移,取代基团不同,对λ_max值影响不大,络合金属不同,λ_max值略有差别。某些取代酞菁化合物在极性小的溶剂中形成二聚体。它们是无光活性的,不适宜作光敏化剂。本文探讨了有关二聚体的形成与溶剂极性、溶液浓度、取代基团性质及络合金属原子的关系。结果表明二聚体的形成取决于取代基团的性质以及溶剂的介电常数与溶液浓度。最后计算锌酞菁磺酰胺在氯仿与乙醇中,单分子与二聚体的平衡常数K_eq=C_D/C_M²约为～10⁶l·mol^-1。

ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS COMPLEXED WITH HEAVY ATOMS-II. PHOSPHORESCENCE AND PHOTODIMERIZATION OF DNA COMPLEXED WITH Ag*

Abstract— We have studied the luminescence (at 77°K) and photochemistry (at 298°K) of a variety of polynucleotides complexed with Ag⁺. In all cases we observed that Ag⁺ induces a 'heavy atom effect' as indicated by quenching of fluorescence, enhancement of phosphorescence, and reduction of triplet lifetimes. The enhancement by Ag⁺ of the phosphorescence intensity of poly (dT) and DNA paralleled a 20-fold enhancement of the rate of thymine dimerization. These results suggest a possible triplet precursor for thymine dimerization in Ag⁺ complexes. Dimers were also made with a variety of triplet sensitizers, and Ag⁺ increased the dimer yield two- to four-fold, depending on the sensitizer used.     

PHOTOPRODUCT FORMATION IN DNA AT LOW TEMPERATURes.

Abstract— The temperature dependence of thy mine photoproduct formation in Escherichia culi DNA dissolved either in water or in a 50 per cent ethylene glycol solution was studied at temperatures between + 25 and — 196°C. At low temperatures, the formation of thymine dimer was strongly inhibited. A dose of 1 × 10⁴ ergs/mm² at 280 nm converted 2 per cent of the thymine to dimer at 25°C as compared with 0.2 per cent at — 196°C. In addition, a new thymine photo-product which was both nonphotoreversible and nonphotoreactivable was found at low temperatures. On the basis of its chromatographic mobility, this new photoproduct was assumed to be the same as that isolated from irradiated spores of Bacillus megaterium . Extensive irradiation at 254 nrn of DNA at — 120°C resulted in a yield of > 23 per cent for the 'spore-type' photoproduct as compared with 6 per cent for the thymine dimer. In poly d(AT), irradiated at low temperature, no spore-type photoproduct was found; this suggests that adjacent thymine residues are necessary for the formation of the spore-type photoproduct.     

ULTRAVIOLET-INDUCED REACTIONS OF THYMINE AND URACIL IN THE PRESENCE OF CYSTEINE

Abstract —Ultraviolet-radiation photolysis of thymine in the presence of cysteine gives rise to four isomeric dimers, dihydrothymine, and at least five cysteine addition products. Similar reactions occur for uracil but the products have not all been characterized in detail. The addition reactions arise from the triplet state of the pyrimidine. The initial step is production of a hydropyrimidine radical, which then reacts with cysteine to give the addition products. The triplet is quenched by cysteine with a rate constant of about 2 times 10⁸ M^-1 s^-1 for thymine and 2–9 times 10⁸ for uracil. The total yield of products gives a lower-limit estimate of the triplet yield and hence of the intersystem-crossing efficiency. These studies, combined with earlier determinations of dimer yields, show that 93% of the thymine triplets which interact with another thymine molecule are quenched without forming stable dimers. For uracil, the corresponding figure is 75%.     

PROPERTIES OF AN UNUSUAL PHOTOPRODUCT OF U.V. IRRADIATED THYMIDYLYL-THYMIDINE

Abstract— One of the four major photoproducts formed by UV irradiation of TpT in aqueous solution has a number of unusual properties. This compound, which we arbitrarily call TpT⁴, is produced irreversibly from TpT with single-hit kinetics and seems to represent a novel pathway for TpT photolysis different from the conventional cyclobutane ring dimer formation. This communication describes the preparative isolation of TpT⁴ by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and its UV, fluorescence and IR spectra. TpT⁴ has an absorption maximum at 325 mμ, fluoresces at 405 mμ when excited at 325 mμ, and has an IR spectrum consistent with the assumption that one of the thymine rings has been converted to a pyrimidin-2-one structure. In addition, TpT⁴ appears to have both pyrimidine rings linked together and does not contain a peroxide group as previously supposed. Spectrophotometric titration shows that TpT⁴ has a pKâ of 10.75 and is unstable to prolonged treatment at extreme pH. A model structure consistent with the present data is given. This model contains the glycosidic and phosphodiester bonds intact with a 5-methylpyrimidine-2-one ring and a thymine ring joined in ether linkage at the C₄ positions, with an OH at the C₄ position in the thymine ring.

Molecular orbital theory of the hydrogen bond : XXXII. The effect of H and Li association on the A---T and G---C pairs

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed to determine the structures and stabilization energies of the A---T and G---C base pairs and their complexes with H⁺ and Li⁺, H⁺ and Li⁺ association stabilizes the A---T pair except for Li⁺ association at O₄ in thymine. Protonation of thymine stabilizes the A---T pair to a greater extent than protonation of adenine. The association of H⁺ and Li⁺ with guanine stabilizes the G---C pair, but protonation of cytosine destabilizes G---C. Changes in the structures of the hydrogen bonds in the A---T and G---C pairs reflect changes in hydrogen bond strengths.     

THYMINE DIMERIZATION IN L-STRAIN MAMMALIAN CELLS AFTER IRRADIATION WITH ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND THE SEARCH FOR REPAIR MECHANISMS

Abstract— The formation of thymine dimers in the DNA of L -strain mammalian cells after irradiation with ultraviolet light has been demonstrated. The amount of dimer formed rises with the dose of u.v. light.
In the course of post-irradiation incubation the thymine dimers remain in the TCA insoluble fraction and diminish as did the other thymidine-H³ derivatives with increasing incubation time. The dimer is not found in the soluble fraction. Thus, dimer excision (i.e. its liberation into the soluble fraction) as an expression of repair of radiation damage analogous to dark repair in E. coli was not found in these experiments.     

Thermal dissociation of the protein homodimer ecotin in the gas phase

The influence of charge on the thermal dissociation of gaseous, protonated, homodimeric, protein ecotin ions produced by nanoflow electrospray ionization (nanoES) was investigated using the blackbody infrared radiative dissociation technique. Dissociation of the protonated dimer, (E₂ + nH)ⁿ⁺ E₂ⁿ⁺ where n = 14–17, into pairs of monomer ions is the dominant reaction at temperatures from 126 to 175 °C. The monomer pair corresponding to the most symmetric charge distribution is preferred, although 50–60% of the monomer product ions correspond to an asymmetric partitioning of charge. The relative abundance of the different monomer ion pairs produced from E₂¹⁴⁺, E₂¹⁵⁺, and E₂¹⁶⁺ depends on reaction time, with the more symmetric charge distribution pair dominating at longer times. The relative yield of monomer ions observed late in the reaction is independent of temperature indicating that proton transfer between the monomers does not occur during dissociation and that the different monomer ion pairs are formed from dimer ions which differ in the distribution of charge between the monomers. For E₂¹⁷⁺, the yield of monomer ions is independent of reaction time but does exhibit slight temperature dependence, with higher temperatures favoring the monomers corresponding to most symmetric charge distribution. The charge distribution in the E₂¹⁵⁺ and E₂¹⁶⁺ dimer ions influences the dissociation kinetics, with the more asymmetric distribution resulting in greater reactivity. In contrast, the charge distribution has no measurable effect on the dissociation kinetics and energetics of the E₂¹⁷⁺ dimer.     

Analysis of ultrafast relaxation in photoexcited DNA base pairs of adenine and thymine

The photoinduced dynamics in base pairs of adenine and thymine were analyzed by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. On the short-time scale up to a few picoseconds, the characteristic time constants for the dimers are quite similar to the corresponding values of the monomers. This leads to the conclusion that ultrafast intramolecular relaxation proceeds via ππ^* and nπ^* states of one component within the dimer. On the long-time scale, we obtained a novel time constant of roughly 40 ps for the thymine dimer and the adenine–thymine base pair. This time constant was never observed in the monomers and is tentatively assigned to an intermolecular relaxation process, possibly via a hydrogen transfer state.     

INTERACTION OF RESTORATION PROCESSES IN UV IRRADIATED ESCHERICHIA COLZ CELLS

Abstract— An attempt was performed to estimate survival and course of DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli B/r hcr' and hcr^- cells in relation to the amount of unexcised dimers.
In exponential growing hcr⁺ cells irradiated with 30 Jm^-2, dimers were almost completely excised and survival of cells was equal to about 3%. In the hcr⁺ cells prestarved for amino acid and thymine and irradiated by the same fluence, survival of cells was almost equal while two thirds of dimers remained unexcised and could be detected in the hybrid DNA consisting of parental and daughter chains. In exponentially growing hcr^+- cells irradiated with 20Jm^-, the same amount of dimers was produced which remained unexcised in the prestarved hcr⁺ cells. However, their survival was equal to about 0.02%.
Despite the great differences in dimer contents, about one third of DNA was replicated after UV in both exponentially growing and prestarved hcr+ cells producing well defined HL-hybrid peak, and the newly synthesized DNA was normal-sized. In hcr⁺ cells which contained approximately the same amount of dimers as in hcr⁺ prestarved cells, the amount of replicated DNA was too low to form a detectable density labelled hybrid peak, and the newly synthesized DNA was in short pieces.
Thus, when hcr⁺ and hcr^+- cells contain the same number of residual dimers, they have different levels of tolerance to these dimers.
