TY - JOUR. T1 - Electrostatic energy calculation on the pH-induced conformational change of influenza virus hemagglutinin. AU - Ho, Sup Choi. AU - Huh, June. AU - Won, Ho Jo. PY - 2006. Y1 - 2006. N2 - The pH-induced conformational change of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) has been investigated by calculating the change of electrostatic energy of the fragment of HA2 upon pH change. The average charge and electrostatic free energy are calculated as a function of pH for the fusion peptide (residues 1-20 of HA2) and the polypeptide of residues 54-77 of HA2 by using the finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann method. It is found that as pH decreases from 8 to 5, the electrostatic free energy of the fusogenic state is lowered by ∼2 kcal/mol and the fusogenic state is less ionized compared to that of the native state for both polypeptides. For the fusion peptide at the fusogenic state, most of ionizable residues are neutral at acidic pH except Glu-11. For the polypeptide of residues 54-77 at the ...

Four WIN compounds with anti-picornavirus activities were tested for their ability to stabilize human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV-2) against low pH-induced conformational changes in vitro, as determined by specific immunoprecipitation. These results were compared to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) as measured in a plaque reduction assay. A direct relationship was observed between the concentration of the compound that prevented the low pH-induced conformational changes and the MIC, indicating that stabilization is an important element in the mode of action of these drugs against HRV-2.

In recent decades, thermodynamics has attained a remarkable level of competence in advanced design of practical devices, complex energy and industrial systems, bioprocesses, chemical reactors, reacting flows, separations, and even (most recently) flying objects. One of the key concepts of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is that it can take account of dynamic behavior and pathwise constraints. Some recent developments in thermodynamics, aimed at extending the range of its application to far-from equilibrium regimes (extended thermodynamics, only briefly discussed in the book) abandon the assumption of local equilibrium. Consequently problems in nonequilibrium thermodynamics are formulated as typical or extended macroscopic problems of thermodynamic networks or fields. New developments consider also various aspects of material structure, in particular polymeric fluids and rheological bodies described by general rheological equations of state and bodies with continuous spectra. Still other ...

Affiliation:Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8571, Japan.. Keywords:Entropy of transition, framework structure, Grüneisen function, heat capacity, mode-Grüneisen parameter, negative thermal expansion, order-disorder phase transition, phonon, structural phase transition, thermal expansion, ZrW2O8.. Abstract:In this paper, various thermodynamic approaches to the structural phase transitions and the phonon properties of the materials showing negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the wide temperature range are briefly reviewed through three families of the NTE compounds; ZrW2O8, ZrV2O7, A2B3O12 (A = trivalent cation, B = W or Mo) families. As for the structural phase transitions, the thermodynamic approaches provide us with elucidation of their mechanism from an entropic point of view. The NTE is ...

Previous studies have observed inconsistent relations between the acuity of the Approximate Number System (ANS) and mathematical achievement. In this paper, we hypothesize that the relation between ANS acuity and mathematical achievement is influenced by fluency; that is, the mathematical achievement test covering a greater expanse of mathematical fluency may better reflect the relation between ANS acuity and mathematics skills. We explored three types of mathematical achievement tests utilized in this study: Subtraction, graded, and semester-final examination. The subtraction test was designed to measure the mathematical fluency. The graded test was more fluency-based than the semester-final examination, but both involved the same mathematical knowledge from the class curriculum. A total of 219 fifth graders from primary schools were asked to perform all three tests, then given a numerosity comparison task, a visual form perception task (figure matching), and a series of other tasks to assess general

AU - Hu, Po. AU - Zhang, Yingkai. PY - 2007/4/12. Y1 - 2007/4/12. N2 - To elucidate enzyme catalysis through computer simulation, a prerequisite is to reliably compute free energy barriers for both enzyme and solution reactions. By employing on-the-fly Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations with the ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach and the umbrella sampling method, we have determined free energy profiles for the methyl-transfer reaction catalyzed by the histone lysine methyltransferase SET7/9 and its corresponding uncatalyzed reaction in aqueous solution, respectively. Our calculated activation free energy barrier for the enzyme catalyzed reaction is 22.5 kcal/mol, which agrees very well with the experimental value of 20.9 kcal/mol. The difference in potential of mean ...

The electrochemical and in-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) techniques were used to investigate the electrooxidation behavior of methanol in acidic, neutral and alkaline media at a Pt-Ru nanoparticle modified glassy carbon (Pt-Ru/GC) electrode. The results showed that methanol could be dissociated spontaneously at the Pt-Ru/GC electrode to produce a strongly adsorbed intermediate, CO. It was found that CO could be oxidized more easily in the alkaline medium than in the acidic and neutral media. The peak potential of methanol oxidation was shifted from 0.663 and 0.708 V in the acidic and neutral media to -0.030 V in the alkaline medium, which is due to that the adsorption strength of CO on the Pt surface in the alkaline medium is weaker than that in the acidic and neutral media. The final product of the methanol oxidation is C02. However, in the alkaline medium, CO2 proCO(2) duced would form CO32- and HCO3- resulting in the decrease in the alkaline concentration and then in the ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Prediction of hydration free energies for aliphatic and aromatic chloro derivatives using molecular dynamics simulations with the OPLS-AA force field. AU - Beckstein, Oliver. AU - Iorga, Bogdan I.. PY - 2012/5. Y1 - 2012/5. N2 - All-atom molecular dynamics computer simulations were used to blindly predict the hydration free energies of a range of chloro-organic compounds as part of the SAMPL3 challenge. All compounds were parameterized within the framework of the OPLS-AA force field, using an established protocol to compute the absolute hydration free energy via a windowed free energy perturbation approach and thermodynamic integration. Three different approaches to deriving partial charge parameters were pursued: (1) using existing OPLS-AA atom types and charges with minor adjustments of partial charges on equivalent connecting atoms; (2) calculation of quantum mechanical charges via geometry optimization, followed by electrostatic potential (ESP) fitting, using Jaguar at the ...

Currently, numerous studies are focused on the valorisation of seawater desalination reverse osmosis brines. Electrodialysis can be used to concentrate one of the primary components (NaCI) and obtain a suitable raw material for industrial applications, such as the chlor-alkali industry. An electrodialysis pilot plant was used to evaluate the efficiency of concentrating a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) brine under representative full-scale operational conditions covering the temperature range of a semiarid climate. The results indicate that electrodialysis is a technology that can concentrate SVVRO brines from approximately 70 to 245 g/L NaCl, achieving an additional intrinsic purification of major multivalent ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-) due to the selectivity patterns of ion exchange membranes and the ion-complexation reactions in the concentrated brines. However, minor components, such as Ni and Cu, are concentrated due to the formation of Cu and Ni complexes with chloride ions to form ...

Sometimes the timeliness of the own writing can surprise the author himself. A few days ago this blog was dedicated to Emmy Noether, the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century. It also mentioned the greatest female mathematician of the 21st century: Maryam Mirzakhani is the only female winner of the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal, which is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for Mathematics" (it is being given only every four years and this exclusively to persons under 40 years of age). And now, this weekend, the mathematics guilt received the sad news that this extraordinary woman has died of breast cancer at the age of just 40 years. She leaves behind her husband, the computer scientist and applied mathematician Jan Vondrák, and a six-year-old daughter.. We look back at an extraordinary career that stands like few others for the possibilities talented women have in mathematics today, possibilities which Emmy Noether could have only dreamt of. Maryam Mirzakhani was ...

AU - Layland, Nicola J.. PY - 1995/12. Y1 - 1995/12. N2 - The methanolysis of benzylpenicillin is catalyzed by Enterobacter cloacae P99 class C β-lactamase and the pH dependence of kcat indicates that the catalytic groups involved of pKa ca. 5 and 10 are the same as those for hydrolysis. The kinetic solvent isotope effect (KSIE) is 1.42 for both the hydrolysis and methanolysis of benzylpenicillin. However, there is an inverse KSIE on of 0.83 ± 0.05 for the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin and cephaloridine. There is also an abnormally high shift in the low pKa on going from H2O to D2O of 0.85 ± 0.15 from the pH dependence of both kcat and kcat/Km for both methanolysis and hydrolysis. The D2O shift on the high pKa of ca. 10 is the normal value of ca. 0.4. These results are consistent with a ...

Intracellular pH must be kept close to neutrality to be compatible with cellular functions, but the mechanisms of pH homeostasis and the responses to intracellular acidification are mostly unknown. In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we found that intracellular acid stress generated by weak organic acids at normal external pH induces expression of several chaperone genes, including ROF2, which encodes a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase of the FK506-binding protein class. Loss of function of ROF2, and especially double mutation of ROF2 and the closely related gene ROF1, results in acid sensitivity. Over-expression of ROF2 confers tolerance to intracellular acidification by increasing proton extrusion from cells. The activation of the plasma membrane proton pump (H+-ATPase) is indirect: over-expression of ROF2 activates K+ uptake, causing depolarization of the plasma membrane, which activates the electrogenic H+ pump. The depolarization of ROF2 over-expressing plants explains their tolerance to ...

Black holes are an important area of research for theoretical physics as the behavior of the strong gravitational fields near the singularity of a black hole likely involve both gravitational and quantum effects. Understanding the behavior and properties of black holes tackles the ultimate goal of theoretical physics, unifying all known physical forces into a single theory. Recently, there has been much work done in understanding the thermodynamics of black holes, relating the properties of black holes to the laws of thermodynamics as well as understanding the concepts of information and entropy in the case of black holes. Considering black hole thermodynamics puts quantum effects and classical gravity in discussion with each other, as quantum field theory based descriptions of the Standard Model interactions on a curved spacetime around a black hole dictate black hole thermodynamics. In the course of this paper, I will derive and outline the various laws of black hole thermodynamics and discuss Hawking

The binding of CO to ascorbate-reduced Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase was investigated by static-titration, stopped-flow and flash-photolytic techniques. Static-titration data indicated that the binding process was non-stoicheiometric, with a Hill number of 1.44. Stopped-flow kinetics obtained on the binding of CO to reduced Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase were biphasic in form; the faster rate exhibited a linear dependence on CO concentration with a second-order rate constant of 2 × 10(4) M-1-s-1, whereas the slower reaction rapidly reached a pseudo-first-order rate limit at approx. 1s-1. The relative proportions of the two phases observed in stopped-flow experiments also showed a dependency on CO concentration, the slower phase increasing as the CO concentration decreased. The kinetics of CO recombination after flash-photolytic dissociation of the reduced Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase-CO complex were also biphasic in character, both phases showing a linear pseudo-first-order rate dependence ...

Acute poisoning with chlorophenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D and MCPA is reported world wide, potentially causing severe toxicity and death. Since there is no antidote for chlorophenoxy herbicides, treatments such as urinary alkalinisation have been used to increase the clearance of these poisons from the body. Although urinary alkalinisation was first trialled over 30 years ago, it is not currently used routinely for the treatment of patients with acute chlorophenoxy poisoning. This review looked for studies where this treatment had been given to poisoned patients. No studies of sufficient quality were identified and therefore routine use of this approach to treatment cannot be recommended. However, due to the poor outcomes in patients who present with severe toxicity it may have a role in addition to standard intensive care support. More research should be conducted.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Luminal and non-luminal non-competitive inhibitor binding sites on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (Review). AU - Arias, Hugo R.. PY - 1996/1/1. Y1 - 1996/1/1. N2 - The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor presents two very well differentiated domains for ligand binding that account for different cholinergic properties. In the hydrophilic extracellular region of the a subunit exist the binding sites for agonists such as the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which upon binding trigger the channel opening, and for competitive antagonists such as d-tubocurarine, which compete for the former inhibiting its pharmacological action. For non-competitive inhibitors, a population of low-affinity binding sites have been found at the lipid-protein interface of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. In addition, at the M2 transmembrane domain, several high-affinity binding sites have been found for non-competitive inhibitors such as chlorpromazine, triphenylmethylphosphonium, the local ...

Chemical kinetics plays an important role in controlling the atmospheric composition of all planetary atmospheres, including those of extrasolar planets. For the hottest exoplanets, the composition can closely follow thermochemical-equilibrium predictions, at least in the visible and infrared photosphere at dayside (eclipse) conditions. However, for atmospheric temperatures < ~2000 K, and in the uppermost atmosphere at any temperature, chemical kinetics matters. The two key mechanisms by which kinetic processes drive an exoplanet atmosphere out of equilibrium are photochemistry and transport-induced quenching. We review these disequilibrium processes in detail, discuss observational consequences, and examine some of the current evidence for kinetic processes on extrasolar planets.. Julianne I.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Acrolein hydrogenation on Pt(211) and Au(211) surfaces. T2 - a density functional theory study. AU - Yang, Bo. AU - Wang, Dong. AU - Gong, Xue-Qing. AU - Hu, P.. PY - 2011. Y1 - 2011. N2 - Partial hydrogenation of acrolein, the simplest alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde, is not only a model system to understand the selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis, but also technologically an important reaction. In this work, the reaction on Pt(211) and Au(211) surfaces is thoroughly investigated using density functional theory calculations. The formation routes of three partial hydrogenation products, namely propenol, propanal and enol, on both metals are studied. It is found that the pathway to produce enol is kinetically favoured on Pt while on Au the route of forming propenol is preferred. Our calculations also show that the propanal formation follows an indirect pathway on Pt(211). An energy decomposition method to analyze the barrier is utilized to understand the selectivities at ...

Ocean acidification is the multidecadal decrease in ocean pH and change in seawater inorganic carbon chemistry caused primarily by uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Global surface ocean mean pH has decreased from 8.2 to 8.1 over the past two centuries; the current pH decrease is about 10-100 times faster than past trends observed in the recent geological record. As CO2 dissolves into the ocean, it decreases pH as well as carbonate ion concentrations (CO32−). Carbonate ions are required for the hard calcium carbonate (CaCO3) shells and skeletons that many marine organisms create. Many organisms decrease their rate of CaCO3 production in response to ocean acidification. Other biological responses to ocean acidification include changes in photosynthesis and respiration, alterations in behavior, and shifts in intracellular chemistry. Ocean acidification may also alter the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen, carbon, and micronutrients. Direct impacts on individual ...

Hemoglobin values were similar in patients with low and normal testosterone level. Among the nutritional parameters, only prealbumin was lower in patients with testosterone deficiency, whereas values of serum albumin and nPCR were higher in patients with hormone deficiency. C-reactive protein was higher in patients with normal testosterone values; if HD and PD patients are analyzed separately this difference is maintained only in HD patients. Phosphorus and iPTH do not appear to be different in patients with testosterone deficiency, and vitamin D is low in all patients, with or without testosterone deficiency. Data obtained by bioimpedance showed differences according to the testosterone levels. With a similar body surface, patients with testosterone deficiency had significantly higher values of lean mass (Table 1), while there were no differences in percentages of fat and muscle mass. In a separate analysis of patients on HD and PD no differences were observed in any of the parameters measured ...

N2 - Water proton 1/T1 nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles were measured for a water‐soluble gadolinium(III) texaphyrin (Gd‐tex) complex as a function of temperature and in the presence and absence of 5% human serum albumin (HSA). Upon dissolving the complex in water (0.259 mM), the water relaxivity values decreased with time but remained higher than those of free Gd3+aqat all fields. Concurrent measurements of free Gd3+ using metallochromic dyes indicated that demetallation of the texaphyrin did not occur over a period of several days at 37°C. The high relaxivity values and shape of the NMRD profile of this complex ...

Disinfection in water treatment has been used to protect public health for over 100 years. Disinfectants are added to inactivate pathogens in the drinking water treatment plant and throughout the distribution system. As an unintended consequence, disinfectants react with natural organic matter (NOM) and other background constituents to form disinfection by-products (DBPs). Each disinfectant produces a different range of DBPs. While toxicity effects of many individual DBPs have been studied, the effect of whole-mixtures of DBPs needs further investigation. The overall goal of this project is to develop and optimize a NOM concentration method using a sequential reverse osmosis(RO)/electrodialysis(ED) treatment system that can be used for toxicity studies. This work focuses on data comparison from two methods of NOM concentration and two sources of sample water, Newmark tap water and a filter effluent from a conventionally-treated surface water treatment plant in Central Illinois, IL. Throughout ...

The reaction of H2O2 with thioanisole and p-methoxythioanisole catalysed by lignin peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been studied spectrophotometrically under turnover and single turnover conditions with a stopped-flow apparatus. Pre-formed lignin peroxidase compounds I and II are each able to react with the sulphides to form a sulphide radical cation. The radical cation is then converted into the sulphoxide either by reaction with the medium or by reaction with compound II. This is the first report of a direct reaction between compound II and the substrate radical cation. With thioanisole, significant enantiomeric selectivity and high oxygen incorporation in the sulphoxide are obtained because compound II is preferentially reduced by the enzyme-bound thioanisole radical cation compared with the neutral substrate. By contrast, with p-methoxythioanisole, the data imply formation of an intermediate ternary complex comprising compound II, radical cation and neutral substrate, such ...

PY - 1994/9/1. Y1 - 1994/9/1. N2 - The function of the hydrophobic residues Leu28, Phe31, Ile50, and Leu54 at the folate binding site in Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.5.1.3) has been studied by a combination of site-specific mutagenesis and reaction kinetics. Studies suggest that the overall protein structure and kinetic sequence for the reaction did not change for the mutant proteins compared to the wild-type enzyme. Two sets of mutated reductases have been constructed. The first set, in which the side chains of the targeted amino acids are spatially well separated (∼8 Å), includes two single mutants (L28Y and L54F) and a double mutant (L28Y-L54F). This set features residues that increased the side chain surface area and the potential ...

1. [2′-2H]Inosine was made from inosine by tetraisopropyldisiloxanyl protection of the 3′- and 5′-positions, oxidation with dimethyl sulphoxide and acetic anhydride, immediate NaB2H4 reduction of the oxo sugar product and inversion at C-2′ of the resultant protected [2′-2H]arabino-inosine by trifluoromethanesulphonylation and reaction with caesium propionate, followed by deprotection. 2. The equilibrium-perturbation technique was used to measure beta 2H(V/K) for phosphorolysis of this compound by the purine nucleoside phosphorylase of Escherichia coli as a function of pH. 3.

Three different mathematical approaches for the evolution of diffusion equation are presented. The evolution process of the diffusion equation is explained by principle of conservation law, probability distribution procedure, and finally though stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by Brownian motion. The Monte Carlo method is discussed to solve the diffusion equation by generating the normally distributed random numbers and the root mean square error is derived for the Monte Carlo method. The numerical solutions are computed for 1-dimensional diffusion equation and results are compared with exact solution. Finally, theoretical root mean square error is compared with the maximum error and the L2-error by increasing the number of simulated points.. ...

Importantly, it catalyzes the direct conversion of the amino acid L-ornithine to L-proline. Using molecular dynamics (MD) and a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method in the ONIOM formalism, the catalytic mechanism of OCD has been examined. The rate limiting step is calculated to be the initial step in the overall mechanism: hydride transfer from the L-ornithine's Cα-H group to the NAD+ cofactor with concomitant formation of a Cα=NH2+ Schiff base with a barrier of 90.6 kJ mol−1. Importantly, no water is observed within the active site during the MD simulations suitably positioned to hydrolyze the Cα=NH2+ intermediate to form the corresponding carbonyl. Instead, the reaction proceeds via a non-hydrolytic mechanism involving direct nucleophilic attack of the δ-amine at the Cα-position. This is then followed by cleavage and loss of the α-NH2 group to give

According to the International Federation of Renal Registries, in 1999 the prevalence of peritoneal dialysis in the United States as approximately 9.5% of patients receiving dialysis (2005 United States Renal Data Systems data indicates a prevalence of around 7.5%). Data from Europe in 1999 to 2000 (not including the United Kingdom, France or Germany) indicated peritoneal dialysis was the mode of dialysis in approximately 11.1% of dialysis patients. 2006 data from the United Kingdom indicates that more than 20% of patients on dialysis are receiving peritoneal dialysis while French and German data indicate rates of 8.1% and 4.8% respectively. More than 90% of patients with chronic renal failure/chronic kidney disease Stage 5 (End Stage Renal Disease) are anemic. The vast majority of patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis receive erythropoiesis-stimulating agent therapy to treat their anemia.. Anemia of chronic renal failure is due to several factors, primarily the inability of the ...

Version 12 extends its numerical partial differential equation-solving capabilities to solve nonlinear partial differential equations over arbitrary-shaped regions with the finite element method. Given a nonlinear, possibly coupled partial differential equation (PDE), a region specification and boundary conditions, the numerical PDE-solving capabilities find solutions to stationary and time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations. This functionality will enable you to model a much larger class of industry-relevant applications from domains like physics, chemistry, mechanics, fluid dynamics and many more.. ...
