The novel NAD+-linked opine dehydrogenase from a soil isolate Arthrobacter sp. strain 1C belongs to an enzyme superfamily whose members exhibit quite diverse substrate specificites. Crystals of this opine dehydrogenase, obtained in the presence or absence of co-factor and substrates, have been shown to diffract to beyond 1.8 ? resolution. X-ray precession photographs have established that the crystals belong to space group P21212, with cell parameters a = 104.9, b = 80.0, c = 45.5 ? and a single subunit in the asymmetric unit. The elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme will provide a structural framework for this novel class of dehydrogenases to enable a comparison to be made with other enzyme families and also as the basis for mutagenesis experiments directed towards the production of natural and synthetic opine-type compounds containing two chiral centres. 相似文献

Comparison of prestomal teeth of adult Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya rufifacies, Chrysomya nigripes, Lucilia cuprina, Parasarcophaga dux and Musca domestica was accomplished by use of scanning electron microscopy. The prestomal teeth of C. megacephala, C. rufifacies, L. cuprina and P. dux are all similar in appearance in having various degrees of bifurcation at their tips. In contrast, the tips of the prestomal teeth in C. nigripes are very shallowly serrated, but are comparatively more deeply serrated in M. domestica. These features may help account for the roles these flies may play in matters of medical or veterinary importance, such as causing physical irritation or acting as vectors of disease agents. 相似文献

Mouthparts of adult Megaselia scalaris (Loew), a fly species of medical importance, were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Sexual dimorphism of the labellum was observed in the mouthpart structures of this species. The labella of males were clothed with a dense covering of microtrichia, but these were found to be entirely absent from the labella of females. Aside from this difference, trichoid and conical sensilla that are most likely used as taste or contact chemoreceptors appear on the labellum and labrum of both sexes. In addition, five pairs of sharply pointed teeth at the ventral surface of the labellum is another feature that is shared by the two sexes. A plausible feeding mechanism for this fly is also advanced. 相似文献

Ultrastructure of all larval instars of Parasarcophaga dux (Thomson), a common flesh fly species in Thailand, is presented using scanning electron microscopy. Special attention is given to the structure of anterior and posterior spiracles since these are important features used to differentiate between other sarcophagids. Each anterior spiracle in second and third instars has a single row of papillae varying in number from 14 to 17. The posterior spiracular discs have incomplete peritremes, with a prominent inner arc. Three long, narrow spiracular slits are oriented more or less vertically in each spiracular disc of third instar. Posterior spiracular hairs lack extensive branching and emanate approximately midway down the length of each slit. Microscopic morphology of the mouthhooks markedly differs between the first and second instars. The structure of these mouthhooks supports this fly species as being necrophagous or capable of producing myiasis. 相似文献

Intercalates of o-, m-, and p-toluidine into α-Zr(HPO4)2 · H2O were prepared and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. As follows from IR, toludine molecules are protonated in the interlayer space. Toluidine molecules are arranged in a bimolecular way in the intercalates containing more than 1.5 toluidine molecules per Zr atom. On the other hand, a monolayer of the toluidine molecules is supposed in the intercalates with less than one toluidine molecule per Zr atom. 相似文献

The free energy as a function of the reaction coordinate (rc) is the key quantity for the computation of equilibrium and kinetic quantities. When it is considered as the potential of mean force, the problem is the calculation of the mean force for given values of the rc. We reinvestigate the PMCF (potential of mean constraint force) method which applies a constraint to the rc to compute the mean force as the mean negative constraint force and a metric tensor correction. The latter allows for the constraint imposed to the rc and possible artefacts due to multiple constraints of other variables which for practical reasons are often used in numerical simulations. Two main results are obtained that are of theoretical and practical interest. First, the correction term is given a very concise and simple shape which facilitates its interpretation and evaluation. Secondly, a theorem describes various rcs and possible combinations with constraints that can be used without introducing any correction to the constraint force. The results facilitate the computation of free energy by molecular dynamics simulations. 相似文献

The varied ultrastructure of the eggshell of Paracapillaria (Crossicapillaria) philippinensis, collected from a human sample, is reported from a scanning electron microscopy study. Two distinct egg shapes were identified: typical peanut-shaped and swollen peanut-shaped. Both thick and thin eggshells were detected. Thick eggshells are either fairly smooth or bear a beam-like network in relation to the pillars in their surface ultrastructure. Thin eggshells are transparent allowing visibility of the coiled larva within. Presence of the thin shell provides supportive evidence of autoinfection involved in the life cycle of this medically important parasite. 相似文献

The external morphology of the adult female blow fly, Chrysomya pinguis (Walker, 1858), was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Ultrastructure of the compound eye, ocellus, antenna, palpus, spiracles and portions of the thorax was highlighted. A great difference was observed in sculpture patterns of the corneal lens surface of the ommatidia of the compound eye and that of the ocelli, with the former being densely pustulate and the latter extremely sinuous. Several sensilla types were observed in this study including: sensilla chaetica, sensilla trichodea, sensilla basiconica and sensilla coeloconica. Their probable functions are discussed with reference to other literature. Morphological information about C. pinguis that was revealed in this study allows us to know such types of structures in much better detail and may eventually provide a basis for understanding some of the biological behavior of this fly species in the future. 相似文献

Antennal sensilla of some forensically important fly species in the families Calliphoridae (Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya rufifacies, Chrysomya nigripes and Lucilia cuprina), Sarcophagidae (Parasarcophaga dux) and Muscidae (Musca domestica) were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Five types of sensilla were observed: trichoid, basiconic, coeloconic, styloconic and sensory pit. Only trichoid sensilla are found on the scape of the antenna, while both trichoid and styloconic sensilla are located on the antennal pedicels of all species studied. Basiconic sensilla are the most numerous of the sensilla found on the antennae of both sexes of all fly species studied and are comprised of two subtypes: large and small basiconic sensilla. Coeloconic sensilla are characterized by short pegs, with either grooved or smooth surfaces, that are sunken into deep depressions. No marked difference was observed in the number, morphological structure or distributional pattern of any of the sensilla among the species studied, with the exception of there being more numerous sensory pits detected in female P. dux compared to the other species. The suggested function of each antennal sensillum was based on comparison with results of other investigations on similar sensilla. 相似文献
