Characterization of aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase from the medulla of rat kidney

Aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase from the medulla of the rat kidney have been purified to homogeneity by using affinity chromatography, gel filtration and chromatofocusing. The molecular weights of aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were found to be 37000 and 39000, respectively. The isoelectric points of aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase were found to be 5.4 and 6.2 by chromatofocusing, respectively. The major differences of amino acid compositions between both enzymes were found in serine, alanine and aspartic acid. Substrate specificity studies showed that aldose reductase utilized aldo-sugars such as D-glucose and D-galactose, but aldehyde reductase did not use them. The Km values of aldose reductase for various substrates were lower than those of aldehyde reductase. Aldose reductase utilized both reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) as coenzymes, whereas aldehyde reductase utilized only NADPH. The presence of the sulfate ion resulted in a dramatic activation of aldose reductase whereas it did not affect aldehyde reductase activity. These enzymes were strongly inhibited by the known aldose reductase inhibitors. However, aldose reductase was more susceptible than aldehyde reductase to inhibition by the aldose reductase inhibitors.     

Microwave spectrum of nitrogen dioxide in excited vibrational states—Equilibrium structure

Microwave spectra were observed for ¹⁴NO₂ in the vibrationally excited ν₁, ν₂, ν₃, and 2ν₂ states, as well as for ¹⁵NO₂ in the ν₁ and ν₂ states. The rotational constants, spin-rotation coupling constants and hyperfine interaction constants were precisely determined. Second-order change of the spin-rotation coupling constants with respect to the bending vibrational quantum number v₂ was also determined. Combined use of the rotational constants obtained by the present microwave investigation and those reported in high-resolution infrared spectroscopic studies leads to the determination of all the vibration-rotation interaction constants α_s and γ_ss′ and the equilibrium structure of nitrogen dioxide, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{(}\text{N}\text{O) = 1.19389 ± 0.00004}\text{A}\text{?}$ and θ_e (ONO) = 133°51.4′ ± 0.2′, in the second-order approximation with respect to the vibrational quantum numbers.     

Microwave spectrum and conformation of vinyl mercaptan: The anti rotamer

Microwave spectra of the anti rotamer of vinyl mercaptan and its SD isotopic species have been studied in the frequency range 12–60 GHz. For the normal species rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained for the ground and first three excited states of the SH torsional mode, the ground state values being A = 49 422.75(5) MHz, B = 5 897.215(9) MHz, C = 5 279.436(9) MHz, D_J = 3.12(11) kHz, D_JK = ?38.50(1.71) kHz, and δ_J = 0.498(51) kHz. An approximate potential function for the SH torsion in the vicinity of the anti conformation, derived using the observed variation of rotational constants with vibrational quantum number, reveals the presence of a small potential barrier of 19 cm^?1 at the planar conformation. The v = 0 state lies above this barrier so the molecule is essentially planar in the ground state in spite of the observed negative value for the inertia defect (?0.1976(2) a.m.u.Ų). The anti rotamer is found to be 50 ± 25 cm^?1 less stable than the syn rotamer. The dipole moment has the ground state values μ_a = 0.425(10), μ_b = 1.033(10), and μ_total = 1.117(14) D and is shown to vary considerably with vibrational quantum number. Evidence for significant structural changes in going from the syn rotamer to the anti rotamer is also presented.
