Abstract— Escherichia coli cells treated with sublethal doses of acridine plus near-UV light exhibit an effective split-dose recovery response that requires an incubation period of about 30–45 min. Studies of the metabolic requirements for split-dose recovery revealed the following: (a) DNA synthesis is not required for split-dose recovery; (b) inhibition of electron transport or protein synthesis reduces the efficiency of split-dose recovery by about one-half; (c) inhibition of phospholipid synthesis or cell wall synthesis completely eliminates the split-dose recovery response. These results suggest an involvement of membrane repair mechanisms in response to damage by acridine plus near-UV light. Additional evidence for such a process was provided by more direct assays for membrane recovery. It was found that cells treated with sublethal doses of acridine plus near-UV light are sensitive to low concentrations of detergents, and lose that sensitivity upon incubation. Likewise, treated cells are susceptible to lethal osmotic shock, but can recover from this susceptibility if incubated after treatment but prior to exposure to low osmotic conditions. Based on accumulating evidence, we propose that E. coli cells are capable of repairing membrane damage resulting from exposure to acridine plus near-UV light. 相似文献
Summary The light purple crystals of (4,4-dipyridinium) [ReO(NCS)(CN)4] crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/m witha=6.615(1),b=16.043(1),c=8.405(1) Å,=93.20(1)°,z=2. The anisotropic refinement of the 1770 observed reflections converged to R=0.041.The [ReO(NCS)(CN)4]2– ion has a distorted octahedral geometry. The rhenium atom is displaced by 0.30 Å out of the plane formed by the four carbon atoms towards the terminal oxo ligand. Bond distances: Re=0 =1.67(1), Re–N=2.12(1) and Re–Cav=2.11(1)Å. The thiocyanate ion is nitrogen bonded to the rhenium atom. 相似文献
Summary The crystal structure of the tetraethylammonium salt of [ReO(H2O)(CN)4]– has been determined from threedimensional x-ray diffraction data. The light blue crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/m witha=8.760(1),b=9.518(5),c=11.718(1) Å, =102.63(1)o with two molecules per unit cell. The final R value using 2009 observed reflections and anisotropic thermal parameters for all the non-hydrogen atoms was 0.038. The [ReO(H2O)(CN)4]– ion has a distorted octahedral geometry with the rhenium atom displaced by 0.30 Å out of the plane formed by the four carbon atoms of the cyano ligands towards the oxo ligand. Bond distances: Re=O=1.667(8), Re–OH2=2.142(7) and Re–C (average)=2.11(1) Å. 相似文献
[N(CH3)4]Ca(N3)3,M=240.29, was prepared from aqueous solutions of tetramethylammoniumazide with calciumazide at 298 K. The crystals are tetragonala=936.6(7) pm,c=694.7(5)pm, space group P4/nmm,Z=2, (x)=1.31Mgm–3. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction (234 Mo-K-reflections, =0.469 mm–1,R=0.064). Calcium is octahedrally coordinated to six azide groups. The octahedra are connected via azide groups to a threedimensional array with the complex ammonium ions between. The terminal nitrogen atoms of the azide groups and the methyl groups are considerably disordered. 相似文献
A comparison of different nebulisers for direct hyphenation of capillary and nano liquid chromatography (Cap-LC, Nano-LC) and quadrupole-based collision cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CC-ICP–MS) for phosphorylation profiling of tryptic protein digests is described. Helium was used as cell gas and specially tuned instrumental conditions were used to achieve background minimisation at the mass of phosphorus, because of kinetic energy discrimination of the interfering polyatomic ions. The proposed set-up is based on a modified capillary electrophoresis interface and a home-made 4 mL spray chamber. It enables the use of gradient conditions with a highly concentrated organic mobile phase as often used in protein phosphorylation analysis, without the need to apply membrane desolvation for removal of the organic phase or further background minimisation. No significant signal suppression or other negative effects caused by the organic mobile phase occur, because of the low flow rates used in Cap-LC and the robust plasma conditions of the CC-ICP–MS instrument. A tryptic digest of beta-casein was investigated as model compound to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed set-up for phosphorylation profiling in protein analysis using quadrupole based collision-cell ICP–MS as phosphorus-specific detector. Detection limits for phosphorylated peptides down to the sub picomole level were obtained. As a complementary technique, electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI–MS–MS) with data base searching was used for further characterisation of the phosphorylated peptides detected. 相似文献
Substituted 2-(Thiazol-4-yl)-phenols as Ligands and Potential Extractants for Copper (II) Substituted 2-(thiazol-4-yl)-phenols are obtained by the HANTZSCH synthesis. Their solubility in toluene is higher than in n-octane depending on the position, the chain length, and the polarity of the substituents. From alcoholic solutions complexes of the type CuL2n are precipitated. According to the substituents their structure is distorted octahedral (CuL22, CuL23) or distorted tetrahedral (CuL28, CuL29). The new complexes are nearly insoluble in toluene and aliphatic hydrocarbons, but CuL28 and CuL29 are soluble in chloroform. Therefore copper(II) may be extracted by HL8 and HL9 using chloroform as a diluent. 相似文献
We present a systematic procedure for the optimization of the expansion basis for the limited expansion of diatomic overlap density functional theory (LEDO-DFT) and report on optimized auxiliary orbitals for the Ahlrichs split valence plus polarization basis set (SVP) for the elements H, Li--F, and Na--Cl. A new method to deal with near-linear dependences in the LEDO expansion basis is introduced, which greatly reduces the computational effort of LEDO-DFT calculations. Numerical results for a test set of small molecules demonstrate the accuracy of electronic energies, structural parameters, dipole moments, and harmonic frequencies. For larger molecular systems the numerical errors introduced by the LEDO approximation can lead to an uncontrollable behavior of the self-consistent field (SCF) process. A projection technique suggested by L?wdin is presented in the framework of LEDO-DFT, which guarantees for SCF convergence. Numerical results on some critical test molecules suggest the general applicability of the auxiliary orbitals presented in combination with this projection technique. Timing results indicate that LEDO-DFT is competitive with conventional density fitting methods. 相似文献
High-resolution translational-energy spectroscopy (up to 0.1 eV) has been carried out on 8 V beams of NO? and NO2?. Several features in the spectrum of NO4 are assigned to the transitions within the triplet manifold of this ion. The observed transitions originate in several excited electronic states, indicating long lifetimes (> 10 μs) for the states involved. Two electronic transitions in NO2' have been observed at low energies which are attributed to excitations to the first two excited states of this ion. 相似文献
