The spin-probe technique was employed to study molecular motion in collagen and modified collagen samples in the ?160° to +200°C region. The effect of water content in the 0–30-wt. % range, relative to vacuum dried samples, on the electron spin resonance spectrum of the probe was also investigated. The spectra at the lowest temperatures consisted of a broad asymmetric triplet. Narrowing of this triplet above ?40° to ?70°C and the appearance of additional lines in the spectrum, interpreted as due to a narrow triplet, at a temperature dependent on the water content were observed. For samples with low water contents [(0–0.4)%] the broad triplet was that expected for a glassy system up to 150–190°C; for these samples the narrow triplet appears at a temperature above 50°C, its intensity increasing with increasing temperature up to 70–100°C, then decreasing with a further temperature increase. For samples with water contents near 30%, the narrow triplet first completely appears at about 0°C, and reaches relative intensities of 35% at 30°C. The motion taking place in collagen and related samples is discussed in terms of these results. 相似文献

Tea is one of the top beverages used around the world every day, which contains a high amount of polyphenols and antioxidants. The main aim of this research is to quantify some marketed black tea (Rabea, Lipton, Alkbous, Green gold and Haritham) for phenolic contents and antioxidant potential evaluation by ultrasound solvent extraction and was compared with conventional extraction. Ultrasonic extraction was optimized by considering frequencies (26 kHz, 40 kHz), temperature (30, 40 and 50 °C), and power (30, 40 and 50%) at a fixed time of 30 min. In both the ultrasonic frequencies, 40 °C temperature and 40% power combination exhibited highest cumulative yield (mg/100 g DW), total phenolic content (mg gallic acid/g DW), flavonoids (mg/g DW) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (%) in all branded tea. Within each brand of tea, at any temperature-power combination at particular frequency results were not significantly different. But, at a similar condition of temperature power results were found significantly different between two frequencies. Furthermore, ultrasonic extraction process was analyzed thermodynamically by selecting some basic parameters. Thermodynamics results showed the extraction process was feasible, spontaneous and irreversible. Also, 26 kHz ultrasonic probe is more appropriate for the extraction purpose and thermodynamically more acceptable as compared to 40 kHz ultrasonic bath. Moreover, Haritham was selected as the best tea brand due to its high polyphenol contents and antioxidant potential. 相似文献

The temperature-dependence of steady-state exchanges of K and Na were determined under conditions in which cell viability, ATP, water, Ca, and Mg were not confounding variables. Steady-state ion contents are near-normal between 37° and 10° C, Below 10° C K is replaced by Na in a mole-for-mole fashion with significant net K retention and Na exclusion occurring even below 3°C. The rates of steady-state Kand Na exchanges have markedly different temperature-dependences; between 37° and 10° C, for example, that of K decreases markedly while that of Na remains near-normal, and there is no consistent correlation between the steady-state exchanges and the ionic contents. Ouabain increases steady-state Na flux at 37° C and induces a more marked temperature-dependence over the entire temperature range. This effect is not due simply to inhibition of some processes and unmasking others; it mirrors a pronounced effect of ouabain on the intrinsic properties of Na self-exchange. These results are compatible with a model based on two simple concepts: (1) partial ionic exclusion from cellular water that is ordered by interaction with proteins; and (2) ionic accumulation mediated by adsorption onto and desorption from fixed macromolecular anionic sites, the majority of which interact with one another in a cooperative fashion. In this view, the sharp temperature transition in the net replacement of K by Na below 10° C is due to a critical transition in the selectivity of the cooperatively interacting adsorption sites. The rates of steady-state self-exchanges of K and Na are determined by parameters of ion-site interaction, and the major set of ion-adsorbing sites that interact cooperatively have a steep thermal activation energy of ionic self-exchange. When they are in the K-preferring state above 10° C, exchange of K has a steep temperature-dependence. When they are in the Na-preferring state below 10° C, exchange of Na has a steep temperature-dependence. When these sites are forced into a Na-preferring state at all temperatures by treatment with ouabain, exchange of Na acquires a steep temperature-dependence over the entire temperature range 37° to 0° C. 相似文献

The mechanism inducing the difference in growth rate under various temperature (10–50 °C) conditions was analyzed using rice
and azuki bean seedlings. The growth rate of rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls increased as temperature increased
up to 40 and 30 °C, respectively, and the elongation was retarded at a higher temperature. The cell wall extensibility of
rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls also showed the highest value at 40 and 30 °C, respectively, and became smaller
as the temperature rose or dropped from the optimum. The opposite tendency was observed in the minimum stress-relaxation time
of the cell wall. On the other hand, the cellular osmotic concentration of rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls was lower
at the temperature optimum for growth at 40 and 30 °C, respectively. When rice and azuki bean seedlings grown at 10, 20, 40,
or 50 °C were transferred to the initial temperature (30 °C), the growth rate of coleoptiles and epicotyls was mostly elevated,
concomitant with an increase in the cell wall extensibility. The growth rate was correlated with the cell wall mechanical
parameters in both materials. These results suggest that the environmental temperature modulates the growth rate of plant
shoots by affecting mainly the mechanical properties of the cell wall.

The specific heat, of rat tail tendon at various water contents was measured as a function of temperature. The resulting graphs showed peaks arising from the melting, near 50°C, of helical material in the collagen, and from the melting of absorbed water in the range -40°C to 0°C. The heat of melting of helical material was 11.7 cal per gram of dry tendon. Determination of the heat and temperature of fusion of the absorbed water allowed resolution of the water into four states in the case of tendon before denaturation, and three states after denaturation. The four states are (1) water not freezable on cooling to - 70°C, (2) freezable water with-both heat and temperature of fusion different from the values for ordinary water, (3) freezable water with the heat of fusion of ordinary water, but a different temperature of fusion, and (4) water not distinguished from ordinary water. The fourth state was absent in denatured tendon. The results are discussed in terms of increasing size of clusters of absorbed water molecules. 相似文献

Rafts of Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Agardh can act as an important dispersal vehicle for a multitude of organisms, but this mechanism requires prolonged persistence of floating kelps at the sea surface. When detached, kelps become transferred into higher temperature and irradiance regimes at the sea surface, which may negatively affect kelp physiology and thus their ability to persist for long periods after detachment. To examine the effect of water temperature and herbivory on the photosynthetic performance, pigment composition, carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity, and the nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) content of floating M. pyrifera, experiments were conducted at three sites (20° S, 30° S, 40° S) along the Chilean Pacific coast. Sporophytes of M. pyrifera were maintained at three different temperatures (ambient, ambient ? 4°C, ambient + 4°C) and in presence or absence of the amphipod Peramphithoe femorata for 14 d. CA activity decreased at 20° S and 30° S, where water temperatures and irradiances were highest. At both sites, pigment contents were substantially lower in the experimental algae than in the initial algae, an effect that was enhanced by grazers. Floating kelps at 20° S could not withstand water temperatures >24°C and sank at day 5 of experimentation. Maximal quantum yield decreased at 20° S and 30° S but remained high at 40° S. It is concluded that environmental stress is low for kelps floating under moderate temperature and irradiance conditions (i.e., at 40° S), ensuring their physiological integrity at the sea surface and, consequently, a high dispersal potential for associated biota. 相似文献

The seasonal dynamics of water-soluble substances and water content in the meristematic tissues of vegetative buds of Picea obovata L. and Pinus sylvestris L. are considered. Changes in the concentrations of the cytoplasmic solutions of meristematic cells under their dehydration
as a result of extracellular or extraorgan freezing were determined. It was found that the concentration of water-soluble
substances of the cytoplasm can increase by a factor of 2–2.5 as the below-zero temperature decreases to −40 °C due to water
crystallization. A relationship was found between the cellular content of crystallizable water, nonfreezing water, and the
concentration of water-soluble substances with a decrease in temperature from 0 to −40 °C. 相似文献

Between September, 1976 and July, 1977 Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was replaced as the dominant species by Skeletonema costatum (Grev) Cleve as temperatures fell below 10°C in the fall in an outdoor pond supplied with a mixture of waste water and sea water. Phaeodactylum tricornutum returned in the spring as the major species when temperatures rose above 10°C. In an adjacent pond in which only nitrogen and phosphorus were added in excess, however, P. tricornutum dominated throughout the entire study period even through the temperature varied between 0 and 25°C. We suspected that the difference inspecies dominance in the two ponds occurred because Skeletonema costatum requires silicon, which was present in sufficient quantities only in the waste-water-enriched pond. whereas Phaeodatylum tricornutum does not have a specififc requirement for this nutrient. The cellular chemical composition of P. tricornutum varied in a U-shaped fashion with changing temperature: minimum values for the cellular carbon, nitrogen, and chlorophyll contents were displayed at 15–20°C and maximum values at 3 and 15°C. Both the cellular carbon: nitrogen and carbon: chlorophyll ratios by weight were invariant with changing temperatures at ≈6: 1 and 50: 1 respectively, indicating nutrient saturation. Only under conditionsof nutrient saturation, which can be established in various ways, can the influence of temperature on phytoplankton physiology be separated from nutrient-related factors. 相似文献

Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of the cyanobacteriumAnabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 were isolated following mutagenesis with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and post-treatment with metronidazole
at 40°C. Of the 8000 clones isolated and tested, six mutants were conditionally lethal at the restrictive temperature (40°C).
All the ts mutants exhibited differences in their rates of growth, chlorophyll content, pigment (phycocyanin and/or chlorophyll)
ratios, heterocyst frequency, oxygen evolution and nitrogenase activity at the permissive temperature (28°C). A gradual loss
of all the above features occurred after a period of 3 d at 40°C, followed by lysis of the cultures. Cessation of nitrogenase
activity was found to be different in the different ts mutants. The temperature-sensitive nature of the mutants is suggested
to be due to an impairment in iron metabolism since addition of ferric citrate to cultures at 40°C restored the ability to
grow, produce heterocysts and fix nitrogen. 相似文献

Use of traditional sources of collagen such as pork, bovine, and carp has some limitations. Chicken skin can be valuable alternative. In this work collagen was isolated from chicken skin using a modified procedure. Molecular properties of chicken collagen were analyzed and compared to collagen from other animal skins. Acid-soluble collagen type I was obtained with a yield of 25% and water content around 67%. Viscosimetry and ultrasonic spectroscopy were newly used for molecular characterization. By ultrasonic attenuation measurements, a pre-aggregation phase in the interval from 20°C to 27°C was observed, which is a proof of disaggregation and liquefaction. From 40°C upward, the liquefaction process finishes and aggregation continues. In a bovine sample this phenomenon starts at 40°C, in chicken at 50°C, and continues until 70°C. By viscosimetry, the denaturation temperature was confirmed as 40°C for bovine and 50°C for chicken collagen. Chicken collagen has a two times higher lysine level than bovine, which provides molecular stability side-chain interactions. With regard to higher thermal stability and favorable amino acid composition, waste chicken skin has the potential to be an excellent alternative source of raw collagen with applications in the food industry and biomedicine. 相似文献

We analyzed spectra of light and heavy water at temperatures from 4 up to 50°C in a frequency range of 0.15 to 6.5 THz. It was shown that the amplitude of high-frequency relaxation absorption band with its maximum at 0.5 THz extends with increasing temperature and this temperature dependence for light water has a marked feature at 35–40°C as a sharp growth. This fact is noteworthy because this range corresponds to physiological values of a body temperature of the warm-blooded organisms. At the same time, the analogous temperature dependence for heavy water in the considered temperature range lacks this particular feature. Thus, the water with its properties differs significantly not only from other fluids, but also from its own isotopologues. 相似文献

The effects of dark -(Ev = 0 lux) and low-background radiation (BGR), where R < 1μRongen/h, on physicochemical properties (specific electrical conductivity, heat fusion, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and oxygen contents) of distilled water (DW) and physiological solution (PS) at 4°C and 18°C were studied. The incubation of DW and PS samples in dark and in low BGR (under dark) medium at 4°C and 18°C brings to changes of their physicochemical properties compared with DW and PS samples incubated in light and normal BGR condition (Ev = 500–550 lux and R = 17 μRoentgen/h). The observed changes of DW and PS properties depended on their initial temperature, density and ionic composition. It is suggested that water molecules dissociation and ions hydration are sensitive to illumination and BGR. Therefore, the cell-bathing medium can be considered as a messenger through which direct and non direct (by modulating of others factors-induced effects) influences of illumination and BGR on cell metabolism are realized. 相似文献

Retransformation of ts SV40 Transformants by Murine Sarcoma Virus at Non-permissive Temperature 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Temperature sensitive (ts) SV40 transformed mouse fibroblasts (tsSV3T3) express their transformed phenotype in vitro when growing at 32° C but not when growing at 39° C1. Viral mRNA is, however, apparently transcribed at 39° C, for SV40 specific T-antigen can be demonstrated and viral mRNA can be found by nucleic acid hybridization: Fusion-rescue experiments show that the transforming virus is wild type but tsSV3T3 cells cannot be re-transformed at 39° C with high multiplicity SV40. This suggests that the temperature sensitive behaviour stems from a cellular rather than a viral mutation. The question then arises of the stringency with which these ts transformants control the expression of viral transformation functions at 39° C. 相似文献

The effect of temperature on embryonic development and reproduction ofLymnaea luteola was studied. This snail did not develop completely and failed to reproduce at 15 °C and 40 °C. The temperature range of 25 °C–35 °C was observed to be optimum for development and reproduction of this snail. The utility of this study in predicting seasonal fluctuations of snail population in nature is discussed. 相似文献

The response of photosynthesis and respiration of the intertidal brown alga Fucus spiralis L. to light and temperature at ambient and elevated concentrations of inorganic carbon was investigated. The light-saturated rate of photosynthesis was greater in air at 15° C and 20° C, but greater in water at 10° C. Light compensation point and Ik was about 50% lower under submerged relative to emerged conditions, whereas the initial slope of photosynthesis versus irradiance was higher, except at 20° C. Under both submerged and emerged conditions light-saturated photosynthesis was limited to a similar degree (78%, and 65%, respectively) by the availability of inorganic carbon at naturally occuring concentrations. In air, slight desiccation at tissue water contents of about 96% to 92% caused a stimulation in the rate of net photosynthesis to 110–148% of fully hydrated fronds. At lower water contents the rate of net photosynthesis declined linearly with decreasing water content and became zero at a water content of about 15%. Dark respiration declined linearly with tissue water content and remained positive to a water content of 8%. Upon reimmersion the fronds showed a complete recovery within 35 min following desiccation to a water content of 20–30%. Thus F. spiralis seems to be very tolerant to desiccation. Since F. spiralis photosynthesizes effectively in air, even at a higher rate than in water as long as it has not lost a large proportion of its water in desiccation, the alternating exposure to air may be beneficial by increasing the daily carbon gain compared to a fully submerged situation. 相似文献

The dielectric constant and the loss factor of water in collagen are measured for various water, NaCl, and HCl contents at frequencies ranging from 102 to 105 Hz and at temperatures ranging from ?70° to +23°C. For all measurements, both the dielectric constant and the loss decrease monotonically as the frequency increases, or the temperature decreases; the absence of a maximum in the loss curves as a function of temperature and frequency indicates an extremely broad spectrum of relaxation times. By shifting the curves obtained for the dielectric constant and the loss factor along the log–frequency axis, all data, obtained at different temperatures, can be represented on master curves valid for 23°C. In order to explain these results, water molecules are assumed to be hydrogen bonded to each other in long chains. All water molecules in a chain can, cooperatively, be oriented in two different directions along the channel, resulting in large, reversible, dipole moments. These chains are not rigid, but are flexible liquid-like structures. Diffusion of chains as entities is assumed to be the rate-limiting step for dipole reorientation. Although the rate of diffusion decreases inversely proportional to chain length, the activation energy is independent of chain length. At lower temperatures, diffusion becomes slower, until at the glass point, approximately ?100°C, it ceases. 相似文献

Survival, growth, haemolymph osmolality and tissue water of Penaeus chinensis (Osbeck) juveniles (0.11 ± 0.04 g) were investigated, after they were acclimated to 10, 20, 30 and 40 ppt from 33 ppt for 14 days at 24°C, and then acclimated to 12, 18, 24 and 30°C at each salinity for 14 days. The survival of shrimp was the lowest at 10 ppt and 12°C. Growth of shrimp increased with increased temperature in the range 12–24°C, with no significant difference among four salinity levels at 18, 24 and 30°C. Haemolymph osmolality increased with increased salinity, and decreased with increased temperature. The isosmotic point computed from the linear relationship between haemolymph osmolality and medium osmolality was 664, 632, 629 and 602 mOsm/kg which is equivalent to 25.2, 24.1, 24.0 and 23.1 ppt at 12, 18, 24 and 30°C, respectively. Tissue water decreased with increased medium osmolality and haemolymph osmolality. The slope obtained from the relationship between haemolymph osmolality and medium osmolality indicated that there is an impairment of osmoregulatory ability for the P. chinensis juveniles at 12°C. 相似文献
