The use of the isotropic orientation factor in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies of the actin filament

A Dale-Eisinger style analysis (R. E. Daleet al., Biophys. J. 26, 161, 1979) is used to produce three-dimensional plots that display the limits on the average orientation factor k ² that is required to calculate molecular distances in F-actin from fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements. Maxima and minima plots are generated for the transfer of energy from a donor to a single acceptor and for transfer to multiple acceptors that are related by F-actin helical symmetry. The analysis is performed in terms of dipole cone half-angles rather than depolarization factors, in order to facilitate the modeling of the multiple acceptor problem. Calculations are carried out under the restrictive condition of a single electric dipole moment per fluorophore. In addition, both surface and volume averaging of the donor and acceptor dipoles are considered. Comparisons between the plots show that for the multiple acceptor cases with F-actin symmetry, there is a great reduction in the range for maxima and minima limits on k ². The calculations also suggest guidelines for the choice of fluorescence label that will result in an average orientation factor occurring within acceptable limits, i.e., inside the limits for which k ²=2/3 may be employed. Thus, without having detailed knowledge of the mean donor or acceptor dipole relative orientations, the use of k ²=2/3 in radial coordinate studies of F-actin is more than reasonable and is fairly assured of being correct.

液晶性芳香酰胺化合物的合成

合成了一系列炖粹以酰胺基为中心桥键的刚性芳香酰胺小分子化合物，并对其作了表征，发现其中有些化合物具有液晶性。酰胺键之间能形成很强的分子间氢键，使芳香酰胺小分子化合物的熔点很高，难于形成液成液晶态。研究发现，如果在这类化合物的中心苯环上引入合适的取代基以减弱分子间氢键，同时引入合适的末端基时，则可使芳香酰胺化合物生成液晶相的能力增强。     

Na2B2Se7, K2B2S7 und K2B2Se7: Drei Perchalkogenoborate mit neuem polymeren Anionengerüst

The crystal structures consist of polymeric anion chains of composition ([B₂S₇]^2?)_n or ([B₂Se₇]^2?)_n formed by spirocyclically connected five-membered B₂S₃ (B₂Se₃) rings and six-membered B₂S₄ (B₂Se₄) rings. The nine-coordinate alkaline metal cations are situated in between.     

X-ray study of volatile Ni(II), Cu(II), and Pd(II) complexes of β-ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone

Synthesis of volatile complexes based on -ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone, C(CH₃)₃C(NH)CH₂COCF₃, is described. The general formula of the complexes is M(L)₂, where M = Cu, Ni, Pd. Complexes of this kind with Ni and Pd were obtained for the first time. The Cu and Pd complexes were found to be isostructural. A comprehensive crystal-chemical study showed that all structures are molecular and built of trans-complexes. The central atom has a square plane environment. The average M-O and M-N distances are nearly equal in all compounds: 1.84 , 1.92 , and 1.98 for Ni, Cu, and Pd complexes, respectively; the mean values of the O-M-N chelate angles are 93.4°, 91.9°, and 92.7°, respectively.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by I.

Synthesis, Structure and Conductivity of the New Charge-transfer Salt (ET)_2(CH_2=CH-CH_2-SO_3)·H_2O

ET is one of the most famous electron-donor molecules, which forms charge-transfer complexes (abbr. CT-complexes) with various types of counterions.
