NEAR-UV ACTIVATION OF ENZYMATIC CONVERSION OF 5-HYDROXYTRYPTOPHAN TO SEROTONIN

Near-UV (337 nm) photoactivation of the 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylation reaction producing serotonin has been observed. The photoactivation effect was investigated as a function of fluence rate and fluence, and pH. Photoactivation of decarboxylase activity was found to occur at nearly neutral pH values (low activity of the enzyme in the dark). The findings indicate that the effect of light is similar to a pH shift toward the acid region, which causes the enzyme conversion from the inactive to active form. Pyridoxal phosphate, the decarboxylase cofactor, in the form of an adduct absorbing at 330-340 nm, is suggested as a candidate for the role of the photoactive chromophore of decarboxylase.     

Transition Metal Ion-binding Properties of a 14-Membered N2O2S2- Macrobicyclic Ligand

The selective liquid–liquid extraction of various transition metal cations from the aqueous phase to the organic phase was carried out using a 14-membered N₂O₂S₂-macrobicycle. Metal picrates such as Pb²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺,Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺ were used in this extraction studies. It was found that the ligand showed moderate selectivity towards Pb²⁺ only among the other metals. The extraction constant (log K _ex) was determined to be 13.8 for Pb²⁺ complex.

Liquid–liquid extraction of neodymium (III) and europium (III) using synergic mixture of furosemide and tribenzylamine in benzyl alcohol

The extraction behavior of Nd(III) and Eu(III) with 0.05 mol dm⁻³ furosemide in benzyl alcohol as single acidic extractant and then with equimolar (0.05 mol dm⁻³) synergic mixture of furosemide as acidic extractant and tribenzylamine as neutral donor in benzyl alcohol has been studied from aqueous solutions of pH 1 to 6. The effect of various parameters and of various cations and anions on the extraction of these metal ions was investigated. The composition of the extracted adducts was determined by slope analysis method that came out to be [(M(FS)₂)⁺ (CH₃COO)⁻] and [M(FS)₃·3TBA] where M = Nd(III) and Eu(III).

Coherence of elementary excitations in a disordered electron system

The localization properties of the single-particle and collective electron excitations were investigated in the intentionally disordered GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices by weak-field magnetoresistance and Raman scattering. The localization length of the individual electron was found to be considerably larger than that of the collective excitations. This suggests that the disorder has a weaker effect on the electrons than on their collective motion and that the interaction which gives rise to the collective effects increases localization.     

Weak Mixing in Interval Exchange Transformations of Periodic Type

Interval exchange transformations (IETs) are piecewise isometries of the interval, obtained permuting a certain number of subintervals. We give a condition on IETs in the special subclass of IETs with periodic Rauzy-Veech cocycle which guarantees weak mixing, i.e. the continuity of the spectrum. The proof involves the study of the associated spectral measures. The condition can be checked explicitly by computing a certain Galois group of a field related to the Ravzy-Veech cocycle. Explicit examples of weakly mixing IETs are constructed in the Appendix. *Dedicated to the memory of F.A. Berezin

Damping Effects on the. Reflection of the Metallic Superlattice for Soft X-Rays and Extreme Ultraviolet

Based on the hydrodynamic model theory and the transfer-matrix-method, we have reexamined the reflection properties by taking account of damping effects to the system of the metallic superlattice for the S-polarized soft X-rays and extreme ultraviolet. Fot the normal incidence, we find that the reflection intensity spectxm will decline monotonously with the increasing of the retardation, but for the regions of the higher frequencies and the smaller grazing angles, the damping effects could be neglected.
