The action of ultra violet rays of 260 nm on aqueous solutions of bases, nucleosides and nucleotides of DNA at 77°K is studied by electron spin resonance. It is shown that the free radicals observed are similar, with a few noteworthy exceptions to those induced by X-rays, under the same conditions of temperature, in the solid state. Contrary to what might be excepted on the basis of the results obtained by X-rays, the variation in the yield in paramagnetic centres in each sequence studied does not seem to be important. 相似文献
Abstract— –The photosensitization of amino acids by proflavine is studied using the technique of electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The analysis of the line shape as a function of the incident microwave power (both in the presence and absence of oxygen) and the dependence of the numbers of free radicals on the intensity of the incident light allow one to suggest that two types of radicals are formed. One is formed by a biphotonic process, the nature of the radicals being the same as in the case of ionising radiation, while the other is probably the RO2 radical formed as a result of photodynamic action. 相似文献
In this paper, we deal with the digital output-measurement-feedbackH control problem for Pritchard-Salamon infinite-dimensionalsystems with unbounded input and output operators. A discretePopov-theory-based solution is given in terms of the solvabilityof Kalman-Szegö-Popov-Yakubovitch systems associated withthe equivalent discrete-time time-invariant system obtainedby lifting the T-periodic continuous-time system. 相似文献
Dimethylphosphoramides react with -chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) in anhydrous acetone to yield the previously unknown -dimdethylamino-oxyphosphonous derivatives -oxidation and rearrangement. Further MCPBA oxidation yields formaldehyde and nitrosomethane, isolated as its -dimer. These reactions provide a possible biomimetic model for the metabolic activation of hexamethylphosphoramide as a mutagen and carcinogen. 相似文献
Abstract— Ellipsometric angles and reflectivity of black lipid membranes containing either egg lecithin or chloroplast extracts were measured at a wavelength of 6328 Å. Evidence was found for positive uniaxial anisotropy in membranes of lecithin. If the thickness of those films is assumed to be 62 Å, the refractive index normal to the film surface is 1.471 ± 0.004, and the refractive index parallel to the film surface is 1.454 ± 0.003. The results for membranes of chloroplast extracts also indicate a positive anisotropy in the indices of absorption. 相似文献
In order to determine the influence of 'sulphur-containing' spacers on the formation of mesophases in low molecular mass compounds, we have examined the mesomorphic behaviour of molecules which consists of a 4-biphenyl unit linked to an unbranched fluorinated chain via a short spacer including at least a sulphur atom. The synthesis of these compounds has been carried out from 2-F-butylethyl iodide or from the 2-F-alkylethyl mercaptans in the case of the F-hexyl and F-octyl tails. The mesomorphic properties have been characterized by polarized light microscopy and by differential thermal analysis showing the peculiar contribution of each of the spacers. The influence of the fluorinated chain and the shape of the connector on the stability of the mesophases has been investigated. The compounds with a thioether or a hemithioacetal spacer showed no mesomorphic properties, whereas the structures with a thioester spacer showed a very interesting enantiotropic behaviour of the smectic A type over a wide temperature range. Furthermore from the series exhibiting liquid crystalline behaviour, increasing the number of fluoromethylene units simultaneously increases both the melting and the clearing temperature. These mesomorphic properties within the fluorinated series are compared with those of their monocatenar hydrocarbon homologues. 相似文献
We attempt to resolve the discrepancy between the Buckingham—Longuet-Higgins (BLH) and Imrie—Raab (IR) theories of linear birefringence induced in a gas of dipolar molecules by an electric field gradient. To this end we present a new calculation of the effect, based on forward scattering of a light beam incident on a thin lamina of gas molecules. We work to electric quadrupole—magnetic dipole order. The beam undergoes a time delay which is proportional to the thickness of the lamina and the electric field gradient, and can therefore be interpreted in terms of a contribution to the refractive index of the gas due to the field gradient. The birefringence is obtained by considering appropriate polarizations of the incident beam. To avoid the occurrence of a divergent quantity, such as appears in the BLH theory, it is essential to take account of the finite beam width. Calculations are performed using both primitive (traced) and traceless molecular quadrupole moments; as required on basic grounds, these results are equivalent. They are also identical to the BLH result. By contrast, the IR result is physically unacceptable because it is not invariant with respect to the use of traced and traceless moments. The source of error in the IR theory remains unclear. 相似文献
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), isothermal stress testing–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IST–FTIR), isothermal stress testing–high-performance liquid chromatography, and powder X-ray diffraction (PDRX) were used as screening techniques for assessing the compatibility of tobramycin with some currently employed ophthalmic excipients. In the first phase of the study, DSC was used as a tool to detect any interaction. The absolute value of the difference between the enthalpy of the pure tobramycin melting peak and that of its melting peak in the different analyzed mixtures was chosen as a parameter of the drug–excipient interaction degree. DSC results demonstrated that benzalkonium chloride, monobasic sodium phosphate, boric acid, edetate disodium, sodium metabisulfite, thimerosal, and potassium sorbate interact with tobramycin. Taking into account these results, it could be suggested that some of the changes observed in the IST–FTIR spectra of binary blends of tobramycin and some of the excipients would account for a possible interaction between the mixture component. In this study, PDRX did not provide much information, since only tobramycin–thimerosal interactions could be detected. DSC and IST–FTIR are suitable and simple methods for the detection of potential incompatibilities between active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients.
We apply general arguments (based on spatial transformation properties, intrinsic symmetry and dimensional analysis) to the theory of the Buckingham effect (electric-field–gradient-induced birefringence in a gas). These yield, in a simple manner, the temperature-dependent and temperature-independent terms in the birefringence (each to within a numerical factor), and also the expression, derived by Buckingham and Longuet-Higgins, for the effective quadrupole centre of a molecule. We show in addition how the calculation of the two numerical factors can be simplified in our approach. 相似文献
