Sobolev embeddings in metric measure spaces with variable dimension

In this article we study metric measure spaces with variable dimension. We consider Lebesgue spaces on these sets, and embeddings of the Riesz potential in these spaces. We also investigate Hajłasz-type Sobolev spaces, and prove Sobolev and Trudinger inequalities with optimal exponents. All of these questions lead naturally to function spaces with variable exponents.

A generalization of addition formulae

Let R denote the set of reals, J a real interval and X a real linear space. We determine the functions g : X J, M : J R and H : J ² R satisfying the equationg(x+M(g(x))y)=H(g(x),g(y)),under the assumptions that g is continuous on rays, M is continuous, and H is symmetric. As a consequence we obtain characterizations of some groups and semigroups.

Photosensitized cleavage and cross-linking of pBR322 DNA with khellin and visnagin

The naturally occuring furanochromones khellin and visnagin have received considerable attention, largely because of their vasodilatory properties and of their ability (particularly that of khellin) to induce skin pigmentation upon ultraviolet light treatment of patients suffering from vitiligo. There are conflicting statements in the literature on whether or not they are capable of cross-linking DNA photochemically. Supercoiled and linear pBR322 DNA was used to probe this reaction. The results showed that both khellin and, to a greater extent, visnagin photosensitized DNA cross-linking. In addition, both photosensitizers induced extensive DNA cleavage.     

DNA tertiary structure and changes in DNA supercoiling upon interaction with ethidium bromide and gyrase monitored by UV resonance Raman spectroscopy

The tertiary structure of DNA is important for many of its biological functions. In this work supercoiled and relaxed forms of purified plasmid DNA pBR322 in dilute aqueous solutions are investigated by means of UVRR spectroscopy to assess changes in B‐DNA conformation. Spectral variation in the CO and exocyclic NH₂ vibration above 1600 cm⁻¹ indicate changes in hydrogen bonding. A minor shift of the CN stretching mode of adenosine and guanosine at 1487 cm⁻¹ supports these findings. Changes in ribose conformation are visible in the spectral region 1320–1360 cm⁻¹ by vibrational coupling of the ribose pucker to the vibrations of the purine and pyrimidine bases. The intercalating phenanthridinium drug ethidium bromide is known to reduce the negative supercoiling of DNA. This change in DNA topology is reflected in variations of the UVRR marker bands of DNA identified above. Principal component analysis helped to extract the features of interest from the complex spectra of the intercalation complex. Within the bacterial cells the change in DNA topology is achieved by the action of topoisomerases. In this work, the DNA‐binding subunit GyrA of the enzyme gyrase was extracted from E. coli and applied to relaxed and supercoiled pBR322. The observed changes in the vibrational signature of the relaxed DNA in the presence of GyrA indicate a change of topology towards the supercoiled form. With already supercoiled DNA no further change in DNA topology is observed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

INVESTIGATION OF POLYDL-LACTIDE-b-POLY（ETHYLENE GLYCOL）-b-POLYDL-LACTIDE MICROSPHERES CONTAINING PLASMID DNA

PolyDL-lactide (PDLLA) and the block copolymer, polyDL-lactide-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-polyDL-lactide (PELA) were used as the microsphere matrix to encapsulate plasmid DNA. The PDLLA, PELA, pBR322-1oaded PDLLA and pBR322-1oaded PELA microspheres were prepared by solvent extraction method based on the formation of multiple w1/o/w2 emulsion. The microspheres were characterized by surface morphology, mean particle size, particle size distribution and loading efficiency. The integrity of DNA molecules after being extracted from microspheres was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. The result suggested that plasmid DNA molecules could retain their integrity after being encapsulated by PELA. The PELA microspheres could prevent plasmid DNA from being digested by DNase. The in vitro degradation and release profiles of plasmid DNA-loaded microspheres were measured in pH - 7.4 buffer solution at 37℃. The in vitro degradation profiles of the microspheres were evaluated by the deterioration in microspheres surface morphology, the molecular weight reduction of polymer, the mass loss of microspheres, the changes of pH values of degradation medium, and the changes of particle size. The in vitro release profiles of the microspheres were assessed by measurement of the amount of DNA presented in the release medium at determined intervals. The release profiles were correlation with the degradation profiles. The release of plasmid DNA from PELA microspheres showed a similar biphasic trend, that is, an initial burst release was followed by a slow, but sustained release.     

Synthesis and DNA Cleavage Studies of 2,6-Dimethoxyhydroquinone-3-Mercaptoacetic Acid Conjugates

In previous paper and work, we reported the synthesis and cytotoxicity studies of a novel series of short chain peptide conjugates of the cytotoxic agent 2, 6-dimethoxyhydro -quinone-3-mercaptoacetic acid1 (DMQ-MA). The DMQ-MA is a derivative of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone, which is a natural product of fermented wheat germ and found to have a wide spectrum of cytotoxicity against various tumor cell lines under the synergistic activation of L-ascorbic acid (AH2)2,3. Compared with DMQ, DMQ…     

Aharonov-Bohm effect in a draining bathtub vortex

We study planar waves in a circulating, draining fluid flow, which: (i) exhibit an analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in Quantum Mechanics; (ii) obey a Klein-Gordon equation on an ‘effective spacetime’ which resembles the Kerr spacetime of General Relativity; and (iii) may be observed in the laboratory using gravity waves in a shallow basin. We describe a modified AB effect which depends on two dimensionless parameters, associated with the circulation α and draining β rates; we call this the ‘αβ effect’. We show that the αβ effect is inherently asymmetric even in the low-frequency limit, and that it leads to novel interference patterns which carry the signature of both rotation and absorption.
