Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) metabolize nearly all drugs and toxins. Recently, it has become clear that CYPs exhibit both homotropic and heterotropic allosteric kinetics for many substrates. However, the mechanism of cooperative kinetics has not been established for any specific human CYP/substrate combination. Suggested mechanisms include binding of multiple substrates within distinct, static, subsites of a single large active site or binding of multiple substrates within a single fluid active site. CYP3A4 hydroxylates pyrene with positive cooperativity. Therefore, experiments were designed to exploit the fluorescence properties of pyrene, which diagnostically distinguish between pyrene.pyrene complexes versus spatially separated pyrene substrates. Pyrene complexes (excimers) yield an emission spectrum clearly distinct from pyrene monomers. In lipid-free aqueous/glycerol solutions of CYP3A4, addition of pyrene affords a concentration-dependent low-spin to high-spin conversion of the CYP3A4 heme prosthetic group, indicating occupancy of the active site by pyrene. Under the same conditions, in the presence of CYP3A4 but not other heme proteins, the excimer/monomer ratio (E/M) of pyrene was decreased in emission spectra, compared to pyrene alone. However, excitation spectra indicate a CYP3A4-dependent increase in the wavelength shift for the excimer excitation spectrum versus the monomer excitation spectrum, as well as changes in the excimer excitation peak shape and vibronic structure. These changes are reversed by the CYP3A4 substrate testosterone. Together, the results demonstrate that pyrene.pyrene ground-state complexes occupy the CYP3A4 active site, and they provide the first spectroscopic evidence for substrate complexes within a single fluid active site. Functional implications include the possibility that turnover rate, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity of the reaction are determined by the substrate.substrate complex rather than individual substrates. 相似文献

A new system of data acquisition and analysis has been developed for the modified Birnboim-Schrag multiple lumped resonator apparatus which is used to measure the viscoelastic properties of long-chain macromolecules in dilute solution. The modifications to the original apparatus include improved temperature control and vibration isolation. The original theory has been reworked so that each resonance mode can be characterized by a greater number of data points. The entire data acquistion/processing system is automated and placed under computer control; a correlation for mode coupling is derived. The modifications result in improved precision in the measured viscoelastic moduli and increased instrumental reliability. 相似文献

LetA be aC*-algebra with second dualA″. Let (φ
n)(n=1,...) be a sequence in the dual ofA such that limφ
n(a) exists for eacha εA. In general, this does not imply that limφ
n(x) exists for eachx εA″. But if limφ
n(p) exists whenever p is the range projection of a positive self-adjoint element of the unit ball ofA, then it is shown that limφ
n(x) does exist for eachx inA″. This is a non-commutative generalisation of a celebrated theorem of Dieudonné. A new proof of Dieudonné’s theorem, for
positive measures, is given here. The proof of the main result makes use of Dieudonné’s original theorem. 相似文献

The storage (J′) and loss (J″) shear compliances have been measured for two random copolymers of styrene and n-hexyl methacrylate with styrene contents of 18% and 30% (by weight) in the frequency range 45–4400 Hz and the temperature range 31–107°C. The data at different temperatures were combined by the method of reduced variables, and the WLF coefficients were calculated from the temperature shift factors by the method of Pierson and Kovacs. The data were compared with earlier data for the two homopolymers. The thermal expansion coefficient of the fractional free volume, and the free volume at the glass transition temperature, varied monotonically with composition, but the fractional free volume at a reference temperature of 100°C appeared to pass through a maximum as a function of concentration. Comparison of isothermal plots of J′ at 100°C, plots of the relaxation spectrum at 100°C, the monomer friction coefficient and its temperature dependence, and isochronal plots of the storage shear moduls at 100 radians/see all show that the properties of poly(n-hexyl methacrylate) are very slightly affected by incorporation of 18% styrene and only moderately affected by 30% styrene. By contrast, comparison of styrene–butadiene rubber with 1,4-polybutadiene shows a very large effect of incorporation of 23.5% styrene. These differences may be associated with local packing relations of the comonomer residues and suggest that copolymer properties cannot be readily predicted from those of the component homopolymers. 相似文献

Comparisons are made between experimental rheological data and theoretical predictions obtained from a recently developed algorithm which incorporates three major molecular concepts in a theory for dilute polymer solutions (hydrodynamic interaction, excluded volume and nonlinear springs). These predictions include the radius expansion factor, the apparent chain expansion factor, the molecular weight dependence of the intrinsic viscosity, the frequency dependence of oscillatory flow birefringence, and the shear rate dependence of the intrinsic viscosity. This paper shows that a bead-spring chain model quantitatively predicts these quantities when the relevant molecular concepts are incorporated, suggesting that the rheological properties of dilute polymer solutions can be explained and predicted in terms of these molecular parameters. 相似文献

The eigen frequencies of radial pulsations of neutron stars are calculated in a strong magnetic field. At low densities we
use the magnetic BPS equation of state (EOS) similar to that obtained by Lai and Shapiro while at high densities the EOS obtained
from the relativistic nuclear mean field theory is taken and extended to include strong magnetic field. It is found that magnetized
neutron stars support higher maximum mass whereas the effect of magnetic field on radial stability for observed neutron star
masses is minimal. 相似文献

The apparent short time cutoff of the relaxation‐time spectrum at surprisingly long times for polymers in solution is a well known but not yet understood observation. To elucidate its origins we revisit viscoelastic and oscillatory flow birefringence data for solutions and melts of two linear polymers (polystyrene and polyisoprene) and present new measurements of oscillatory flow birefringence of the latter. Previous measurements have suggested that the “flexibility” of both polymers in solution is smaller than in the melt on the basis of the breadth of the relaxation‐time spectrum of the solution as compared with that of the melt. Our new measurements have explored a higher effective frequency range than was previously possible. This has allowed us to observe the effect of the rotational relaxation time of the solvent on the dynamics of the solution at high frequencies. To obtain the polymer global motion contribution, one now needs to subtract from the solution properties a frequency‐dependent complex solvating environment contribution. We show that the decrease in apparent “flexibility” for solutions arises from the presence of a solvent that exhibits a rotational relaxation time and thus simple viscoelastic behavior somewhat near the frequency window of the experiment. Although recent predictions of a model for a chain in a solvent with a single relaxation time are in qualitative agreement with our results, our data suggest that the solution results may reflect the influence of solvent on the development of the “entropic spring” forces at short times. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
