Vibrational assignment, <Emphasis Type="Italic">ab initio</Emphasis> calculation and normal coordinate analysis of 2,2′-biquinoline

The vibrational wavenumbers and the fundamental modes of 2,2′-biquinoline were obtained by density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP functional using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The calculated wavenumbers were scaled by a single factor of 0.965 to correct them for vibrational anharmonicity, but the force constants were overestimated. Normal coordinate analysis of the molecule was also carried out by using the force field of the quinoline molecule and the force field parameters of quinoline are shown to be transferable to 2,2′-biquinoline. The potential energy distribution associated with the normal modes is also given. The theoretical wavenumbers are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Increase of Calcium Levels at Interphase in NIH 3T3 Cells

The fluorescent calcium ion indicator dye Fluo-3 and DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342 were employed to determine, in a quantitative microspectrofluorometric study, the intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca~(2+)]_i) and the DNA content of individual living NIH3T3 cells. The well-separated excitation and emission properties of these dyes allowed us to establish for each cell both the phase of the cell cycle using DNA content and [Ca~(2+)]_i. We found that the transition from G_1, through S, to the G_2 phase is accompanied by a two-fold increase in [Ca~(2+)]_i. The [Ca~(2+)]_i was inhomologous in each phase of the interphase (G_1, S and G_2) although [Ca~(2+)]_i in the S and G_2 phases was never lower than certain threshold values in the G_1 and S phases respectively. [Ca~(2+)]_i in G_0 cells was lower than that in G_2 cells. These changes in [Ca~(2+)]_i suggest that [Ca~(2+)]_i may be an import regulator of cell cycle progression.     

Synthesis and Structure of Ag_3PSe_4

The title compound Ag3PSe4 was synthesized by the reaction of Ag powder,P2Se5 and Se in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 at 500℃ and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.The crystal belongs to orthorhombic,space group Pmn21 with cell parameters:a=7.689(4),b=6.660(3),c=6.379(4)A,V=326.7(3)A^3,Z=2,Dc=6.816g/cm^3,Mr=670.42,F(000)=584,μ=31.302mm^-1,R=0.0606,wR=0.1289 and S=1.012,The 3-D structure can be regarded as constructed from the stacking of puckered Ag-P-Se honeycomb-like sheets along the c direction,in which the Ag,P and Se atoms are bonded to each other to form a chair-like six-membered ring,and the rings then build the sheets by sharing edges.     

On a characterization of the normal distribution by means of identically distributed linear forms

Let X₁, X₂,…, be independent, identically distributed random variables. Suppose that the linear forms L₁ = Σ_j=1^∞a_jX_j and L₂ = Σ_j=1^∞b_jX_j exist with probability one and are identically distributed; necessary and sufficient conditions assuring that X₁ is normally distributed are presented. The result is an extension of a theorem of Linnik (Ukrainian Math. J.5 (1953), 207–243, 247–290) concerning the case that the linear forms L₁ and L₂ have a finite number of nonvanishing components. This proof only makes use of elementary properties of characteristic functions and of meromorphic functions.     

Quality evaluation of fingerprints of herbal medicine with chromatographic data

In this study, local least squares (LLS) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to deal with the disturbances in a data set of chromatographic fingerprints after necessary data transformations. It has been demonstrated that PCA with standard normal variate (SNV) transformation of data led to meaningful classification of 33 different Erigeron breviscapus herbal samples. The result was also corroborated by variance squares discriminant method. The quality of herbal objects was further evaluated, and the causes of this fact have been explained from a chemical point of view. At the same time, it implied an idea for qualitative evaluation of the herbal objects with a common class pattern of chromatographic fingerprints.     

Small molecules as inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases

Cell division (mitosis) is one of the basic requirements for multicellular oranisms. The capability of a cell to replicate enables a complex assembly to be created. Faulty regulation of the control mechanism in the cell cycle leads to an excessive cell proliferation and is the cause of cancer. The key position of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their direct partners, as well as the fact that the majority of malign illnesses show defects in at least one of these key players of the cell cycle, is of great interest for the development of low-molecular-weight CDK inhibitors. In this Review an overview of the different structural classes of ATP-competitive inhibitors of CDKs are given, whose devlopment was aimed at battling cancer. The Review shows how far the development of selective CDK inhibitors has progressed and to what extent the expectations for such drugs have so far been fulfilled.     

Rheology of polystyrene solutions around the coil overlapping concentration: A phenomenological description of stresses in simple shear flow

Linear viscoelasticity behavior is described with the sum of two terms for polystyrene solutions in tricresyl phosphate around the coil overlapping concentration (K. Osaki, T. Inoue, & T. Uematsu, J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 2001, 39, 211). One is a Rouse–Zimm (RZ) term represented by the Zimm theory with arbitrarily chosen values of the hydrodynamic interaction parameter and the longest relaxation time (τ_RZ). The other (the L term) consists of a relaxation mode with a single relaxation time (τ_L > τ_RZ) and a high‐frequency limiting modulus proportional to the square of the concentration. In this study, we describe the viscosity (η) and first normal stress coefficient (Ψ₁) in steady shear with simple formulas. The stress due to the L term is assumed to be given by a Kaye, Bernstein, Kearsley, and Zapas (K‐BKZ) equation with the damping function h(γ) = (1 + 0.2γ²)^?1/2, where γ is the magnitude of shear. Contributions to η and Ψ₁ from the RZ term are derived from the RZ model, in which the relaxation time in steady flow is given by τ_st = τ + (τ_RZ ? τ)/(1 + 0.35τ_RZ γ˙) instead of τ_RZ. Here, γ˙ is the rate of shear, and τ is the τ_RZ value at the infinite dilution limit. η and Ψ₁ at various concentrations for two polystyrene samples (with molecular weights of 2890 and 8420 kg mol^?1) are well described with parameters derived from dynamic viscoelasticity. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Refining adsorption parameters of n-butyl alcohol at the interface of mercury electrode with aqueous NaF and Na2SO4 solutions by correcting the adsorbate concentration

As an adjunct to the regression analysis of differential capacitance curves, which allows refining the adsorption parameters, a program, which takes into account possible errors in volume concentrations of organic substances, is developed. Using this procedure, the earlier data on the differential capacitance of a mercury electrode in aqueous solutions of normal butanol (1-BuOH) containing either 0.1 M NaF or 0.05 and 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ as the supporting electrolyte are analyzed. This allows obtaining the most accurate values of adsorption parameters for the systems mentioned above within the framework of the model of two parallel capacitors and the Frumkin isotherm. It is shown that, when a linear dependence of the intermolecular interaction parameter on the electrode potential is taken into account, the standard deviation of experimental capacitance values from those calculated using the mentioned model is 6.8–8.8%, which points to very high accuracy of this phenomenological model.
