We previously showed by using mass spectrometry that endothelin A selective receptor antagonists BQ123 and JKC301 form novel coordination compounds with sodium ions. This property may underlie the ability of an ET(A) antagonist to induce net tubular sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule cells and reverse acute renal failure induced by severe ischemia. We have now defined the metal binding sites on BQ123 and JKC301 by subjecting the metal-containing peptides to multiple stages of collisionally activated decomposition (CAD) in an ion trap mass spectrometer. When submitted to low-energy CAD, the ring opens at the Asp-Pro amide bond. The metal ion, which bonds, inter alia, to the carbonyl oxygen of the proline residue, acts as a fixed charge site, and directs a charge-remote, sequence-specific fragmentation of the ring-opened peptide. Amino acid residues are sequentially cleaved from the C-terminal end, and the terminal aziridinone structure moves one step toward the N-terminus with each C-terminal amino acid residue removed. These observations are the basis of a new method to sequence cyclic peptides. Amino acid residues are observed as sets of three ions, a*(n)PD, b*(n)PD and c*(n)PD where n is the number of amino acid residues in the peptide. 相似文献

Background
We have recorded responses from single neurons in murine visual cortex to determine the effectiveness of the input from the two murine cone photoreceptor mechanisms and whether there is any unique selectivity for cone inputs at this higher region of the visual system that would support the possibility of colour vision in mice. Each eye was stimulated by diffuse light, either 370 (strong stimulus for the ultra-violet (UV) cone opsin) or 505 nm (exclusively stimulating the middle wavelength sensitive (M) cone opsin), obtained from light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the presence of a strong adapting light that suppressed the responses of rods.Results
Single cells responded to these diffuse stimuli in all areas of striate cortex. Two types of responsive cells were encountered. One type (135/323 – 42%) had little to no spontaneous activity and responded at either the on and/or the off phase of the light stimulus with a few impulses often of relatively large amplitude. A second type (166/323 – 51%) had spontaneous activity and responded tonically to light stimuli with impulses often of small amplitude. Most of the cells responded similarly to both spectral stimuli. A few (18/323 – 6%) responded strongly or exclusively to one or the other spectral stimulus and rarely in a spectrally opponent manner.Conclusion
Most cells in murine striate cortex receive excitatory inputs from both UV- and M-cones. A small fraction shows either strong selectivity for one or the other cone mechanism and occasionally cone opponent responses. Cells that could underlie chromatic contrast detection are present but extremely rare in murine striate cortex. 相似文献4.

Collisionally activated decomposition (CAD) of a protonated cyclic peptide produces a superposition spectrum consisting of fragments produced following random ring opening of the cyclic peptide to give a set of acylium ions (or isomeric equivalents) of the same m/z. Assignment of the correct sequence is often difficult owing to lack of selectivity in the ring opening. A method is presented that utilizes multiple stages of CAD experiments in an electrospray ion-trap mass spectrometer to sequence cyclic peptides. A primary acylium ion is selected from the primary product-ion spectrum and subjected to several stages of CAD. Amino-acid residues are sequentially removed, one at each stage of the CAD, from the C-terminus, until a b2 ion is reached. Results are presented for seven cyclic peptides, ranging in sizes from four to eight amino-acid residues. This method of sequencing cyclic peptides eliminates ambiguities encountered with other MS/MS approaches. The power of the strategy lies in the capability to execute several stages of CAD upon a precursor ion and its decomposition products, allowing the cyclic peptide to be sequenced in an unambiguous, stepwise manner. 相似文献

MnO3 (LPMO) thin films, grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrates by laser ablation technique at different temperatures between 600 and 850°C, have been characterized for electrical
and magnetic properties. The temperature dependence of resistivity showed that the metal-insulator transition temperature
(T

Let f, g: (Rn, 0) (Rp, 0) be two C map-germs. Then f and gare C0-equivalent if there exist homeomorphism-germs h and lof (Rn, 0) and (Rp, 0) respectively such that g = l f h1.Let k be a positive integer. A germ f is k-C0-determined ifevery germ g with jk g(0) = jk f(0) is C0-equivalent to f. Moreover,we say that f is finitely topologically determined if f is k-C0-determinedfor some finite k. We prove a theorem giving a sufficient conditionfor a germ to be finitely topologically determined. We explainthis condition below. Let N and P be two C manifolds. Consider the jet bundle Jk(N,P) with fiber Jk(n, p). Let z in Jk(n, p) and let f be suchthat z = jkf(0). Define
Whether (f) < k depends only on z, not on f. We can thereforedefine the set
Let Wk(N, P) be the subbundle of Jk(N, P) with fiber Wk(n, p).Mather has constructed a finite Whitney (b)-regular stratificationSk(n, p) of Jk(n, p) Wk(n, p) such that all strata aresemialgebraic and K-invariant, having the property that if Sk(N,P) denotes the corresponding stratification of Jk(N, P) Wk(N, P) and f C(N, P) is a C map such that jkf is multitransverseto Sk(N, P), jkf(N) Wk(N, P) = and N is compact (or f is proper),then f is topologically stable. For a map-germ f: (Rn, 0) (Rp, 0), we define a certain ojasiewiczinequality. The inequality implies that there exists a representativef: U Rp such that jkf(U 0) Wk (Rn, Rp = and suchthat jkf is multitransverse to Sk (Rn, Rp) at any finite setof points S U 0. Moreover, the inequality controlsthe rate jkf becomes non-transverse as we approach 0. We showthat if f satisfies this inequality, then f is finitely topologicallydetermined. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 58C27. 相似文献
