The crystal transformation of dihydrate trehalose to anhydrous trehalose was investigated using ethanol and a new type of crystal particle with porous structure could be obtained. The specific surface area of the anhydrous crystal transformed at 50 degrees C was 3.3 m(2)/g, with a median pore diameter of 0.21 microm, and void volume of 0.22 mL/g. The crystal transformation was monitored by measuring the crystal moisture content. The crystal transformation rates could be correlated with the Avrami equation, using the mechanism parameter n=11.5, suggesting that the change of surface area occurred during crystal transformation from dehydrate to anhydrous trehalose. The apparent activation energy of the crystal transformation was 132 kJ/mol.  相似文献

Swelling behaviors of cellulose I(alpha) and III(I) crystals have been studied using molecular dynamics simulations of the solvated finite-crystal models. The typical crystal models consisted of 48 x 10-mer chains. For the cellulose I(alpha) crystal, models consisting of different numbers of chains and chain lengths were also studied. The structural features of the swollen crystal models, including the cellulose I(beta) crystal model reported previously, were compared. A distinct right-handed twist was observed for models of the native cellulose crystals (cellulose I(alpha) and I(beta)), with a greater amount of twisting observed for the I(alpha) crystal model. Although the amount of twist decreased with increasing dimensions of the cellulose I(alpha) crystal model, the relative changes in twist angle suggest that considerable twist would arise in a crystal model of the actual dimensions. In contrast to the swelling behavior of crystal models of the native cellulose, the cellulose III(I) crystal model exhibited local, gradual disordering at the corner of the reducing end. Comparison of the lattice energies indicated that the cellulose chains of the I(beta) crystal were packed in the most stable fashion, whereas those of the I(alpha) and III(I) crystals were in a metastable state, which is consistent with the crystallization behaviors observed. Upon heating of the native cellulose crystal models, the chain sheets of the I(alpha) model showed a continuous increase in twist angle, suggesting weaker intersheet interactions in this model. The swollen crystal models of cellulose I(alpha) and III(I) reproduce well the representative structural features observed in the corresponding crystal structures. The crystal model twist thus characterizes the swelling behavior of the native cellulose crystal models, which seems to be related to the insolubility of the crystals.  相似文献

Two genes encoding the predominant polypeptides of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. thompsoni cuboidal crystals were cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. The polypeptides have electrophoretic mobilities of 40 and 34 kDa, with the deduced amino acid sequences predicting molecular masses of 35,384 and 37,505 Da, respectively. No statistically significant similarities were detected between the 40- or 34-kDa crystal protein and any other characterized B. thuringiensis crystal protein, nor were they detected between the 40- and 34-kDa crystal proteins. A 100-MDa plasmid carries both crystal protein genes, which appear to be part of an operon, with the 40-kDa gene 64 nucleotides upstream of the 34-kDa gene. Both crystal proteins are synthesized in approximately the same amounts. Even though small compared with other crystal proteins, the 34-kDa crystal protein has insecticidal activity against lepidopteran larvae (Manduca sexta). The 40-kDa polypeptide appears to have no insecticidal activity, but it could have a role in crystal structure.  相似文献

In Drosophila, Black cells (Bc) encodes a Prophenoloxidase and is expressed late in the maturation of crystal cells, which are blood cells involved in wound healing and immune encapsulation. Enhancer analysis of Bc revealed a 1,025-bp upstream sequence that regulates gene expression in a crystal cell exclusive pattern. Expression of this fragment is altered by mutations in the GATA family serpent (srp) and RUNX family lozenge (lz) genes; Srp and Lz are required for crystal cell specification. Deletional analysis uncovered a 330-bp crystal cell-specific sequence, which contains two GATA and three Lz binding sites. Mutational analysis revealed that both GATA sites are necessary, but not sufficient for crystal cell expression. However, one of the Lz sites is essential for crystal cell expression. Thus, Srp and Lz do not just specify the crystal cell lineage, but also regulate the later differentiation of these cells. Additionally, we now have a sensitive tool for marking crystal cells in live animals.  相似文献

Testicular biopsy materials of men were examined with the electron microscope equipped with a tilling stage. An optical transformation method was applied for the electron microscope images. An attempt was made to clarify relationships between the contour and the internal pattern of Reinke's crystal in the interstitial cell. The shape of this crystal is a hexagonal prism. Three types of internal patterns are observed in relation to the main planes of the crystal. The crystal consists of 50-A-thick filaments. It is trigonal, a = 300 A, c = 450 A, being similar to catalase crystals studied by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy (20), but the dimensions are different. Dislocations of Reinke's crystal are also analyzed. In some interstitial cells without Reinke's crystal, specially arranged 50-A-thick filaments are observed. They are similar in arrangement to the pattern within Reinke's crystal, but not so closely compacted. Morphological similarities and dissimilarities between this crystal and other crystal and crystalloid structures are discussed.  相似文献

The structure of desheptapeptide (B24–B30) insulin (DHPI) in a new crystal form (form B) has been determined and refined to 0.2 nm resolution. The crystals were obtained under the same crystallization condition as previously reported crystal form (form A). The overall structures of the two crystal forms are similar but obvious differences can be observed in crystal packing and local conformation. The crystal structures of the two forms show that the two independent molecules in an asymmetric unit from a DHPI dimer, and the dimer formation buries more than 18.20 and 16.95 nm2 of solvent accessible surfaces for form A and form B DHPI, respectively, the largest among insulin and insulin analogs ever reported. Close examination at crystal packing shows that the dimer-forming surface of DHPI, namely Surface II, is normally present in the association of insulin and insulin analogs in their crystal structures. The results demonstrate that Surface II is crucially important for the formation of two crystal forms under the same crystallization condition.  相似文献

The structural chemistry of the Bacillus thuringiensis parasporal protein crystal is discussed in terms of purification techniques, removal of contaminating proteases, crystal subunit size, crystal shape, interchain crosslinks, the ultimate toxin, and lysinoalanine. The alkaline pH cleavage of disulfide bonds is stressed in relationship to this role in crystal solubilization and toxin formation. The future implication s of plasmid-coded crystal formation and B. thuringiensis var. israelensis (effective against mosquitoes and black flies) are also discussed.  相似文献

Protein crystals and their growth   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Recent results on the associations between protein molecules in crystal lattices, crystal-solution surface energy, elastic properties, strength, and spontaneous crystal cracking are reviewed and discussed. In addition, some basic approaches to understanding the solubility of proteins are followed by an overview of crystal nucleation and growth. It is argued that variability of mixing in batch crystallization may be a source of the variation in the number of crystals ultimately appearing in the sample. The frequency at which new molecules join a crystal lattice is measured by the kinetic coefficient and is related to the observed crystal growth rate. Numerical criteria used to discriminate diffusion- and kinetic-limited growth are discussed on this basis. Finally, the creation of defects is discussed with an emphasis on the role of impurities and convection on macromolecular crystal perfection.  相似文献

The various crystal models of cellulose Ibeta, each differing in crystal size, have been studied by computer simulation using the amber molecular-dynamics package and the GLYCAM parameters. The four types of crystal model were constructed by a combination of two base-plane sizes, consisting of either 24 or 48 chains and two chain lengths having either 10 or 20 residues. The base planes of the crystal models were composed by the edges of the [1,1,0], [1,-1,0], and [1,0,0] crystal planes, where the [1,1,0] plane was assigned to the longest edge. The crystal models were soaked in water boxes to investigate their swelling behavior. Unexpectedly, the crystal models twisted quickly to form a slightly right-handed shape during the initial approximately 50 ps and that, in a steady, swollen state, the twisted forms remained for the rest of the simulation time. In spite of such overall deformation, the inner part of the swollen model fairly reproduced the important structural features of the original crystal structure, such as the rotational positions of the substituent groups and the hydrogen-bonding scheme. On heating the crystal model up to 550 K, the twisted shape was conserved in most of the temperature range, while the initial conformations of the substituent groups deviated above approximately 430 K, followed by appreciable disordering in chain sheets at higher temperatures. It is suggested that some internal tensions are involved within a chain sheet of the initial structure. In the course of swelling, some of these tensions were released to introduce a twisted shape in the crystal models.  相似文献

Glutamic acid can be crystallized inside cation exchange column when displacer NaOH concentration is high enough to concentrate displaced glutamic acid beyond its solubility limit. Resulting crystal layer of glutamic acid was moved with liquid phase through the column, and thus could be eluted from the column and recovered in fraction collector. For the purpose of enhancing crystal recovery, effects of operating parameters on the crystal formation were investigated. The increase in the degree of crosslinking of resin favored crystal recovery because of its low degree of swelling. Higher concentration of displacer NaOH was advantageous. If NaOH concentration is too high, however, crystal recovery was lowered due to the solubility-enhancing effects of high pH and ionic strength. The decrease of mobile phase flow rate enhanced crystal recovery because enough time to attain local equilibrium could be provided, but film diffusion would control the overall crystal formation with extremely low flow rate. Lower temperature reduced solubility of glutamic acid and thus favored crystal formation unless the rate of ion exchange was severely reduced. The ion exchange operated by displacement mode coupled with crystallization was advantageous in reducing the burden of further purification steps and in preventing purity-loss resulted from overlapping between adjacent bands.  相似文献
