Two novel ion-pair complexes, [RBzIQl]+[Ni(mnt)2]− (mnt2− = maleonitriledithiolate, [RBzIQl]+ = 4-R-benzylisoquinolinium; R = H (1), Cl (2)) have been characterized structurally and magnetically. The anions and [BzIQl]+ cations of 1 form 1D column of alternating between cations and anions via π?π stacking interaction between Ni(mnt)2 plane and isoquinoline ring, and the Ni(mnt)2 anions between adjacent columns exist C?N, C?N, and N?N interaction. The anions and cations of 2 stack into well-segregated columns in the solid state; and the Ni(III) ions form a 1D zigzag chain in a Ni(mnt)2 column through intermolecular Ni?S, S?S, Ni?Ni or π?π interactions. The chain is uniform in 2 with the Ni?Ni distances of 3.784 Å. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for these complexes in the temperature range 1.8-300 K show that 1 exhibits antiferromagnetic coupling behavior, and 2 exhibits unusual magnetic phase transitions around 45 K. The overall magnetic behavior for 2 indicates the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction in the high-temperature phase (HT) and spin gap in the low-temperature phase (LT). 相似文献

Summary
Callianassa, an estuarine animal, can experience changes in salinity which reduce the level of divalent cations in the blood, as well as changes in temperature and variations in protein concentration in the hemolymph. The hemocyanin in whole hemolymph shows evidence of dissociation ( 12%) after 3 days acclimation to 40% seawater. Using purified hemocyanin the dissociation from 39 S to 17 S hemocyanin was investigated for the three variables, salinity, temperature and protein concentration. An equation was developed to define the amount of dissociation which should be observed under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Summary The growth and siderophore production of a fluorescentPseudomonas species isolated from soil contaminated with chromium was found to be influenced by the presence of trivalent cations. Overproduction of pseudobactin occurred when the isolate was grown in media containing 1 mM Cr(III) under ironlimited conditions but not when Fe(III) was added at 10 M Pseudobactin synthesis was derepressed in iron-limited cultures containing 1 mM Sc(III) or Y(III), examples of group III-B elements. We found that AI(III), Ga(III) or In(III), representative metals from group III-A, repressed synthesis of pseudobactin under iron-deficient conditions. Analogs of Fe(III) were found to inhibit growth of thePseudomonas isolate in iron-limited media and the trivalent metals listed in order of decreasing toxicity were as follows: Ga > In > Sc > Cr > Y > Al. The inhibition of growth by 1 mM In(III), Sc(III) and Ga(III) was greater during iron-limited growth than in media containing 10 M Fe(III). These data show that, although the metal analogs of Fe(III) have similar chemical and physical characteristics, the physiological response of the fluorescent pseudomonad when grown in the presence of these metals varied markedly. 相似文献

Two novel ion-pair complexes, 1-(4′-bromo-2′-fluorobenzyl)isoquinolinium-bis(maleonitrile dithiolato)nickel(III), [BrFBzIQl] · Ni(mnt)2 · 0.5MeCN (1) and 1-(4′-bromo-2′-flourobenzyl)-quinolinium-bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickel(III), [BrFBzQl] · Ni(mnt)2 (2) have been characterized structurally and magnetically. The anions and cations of 1 stack into columns in the solid state, respectively; and the Ni(III) ions form uniform stacking column with the Ni?Ni distances 4.061 Å within a column through intermolecular Ni?S, S?S, Ni?Ni or π?π interactions, while 2 forms 1D column of alternating between cations and anions via the hydrogen bonds, C?N, C?N, N?C, and π?π interactions. The changes of coupling constants were observed in these two complexes at 85 K for 1 and 70 K for 2. It is interesting that 1 undergoes a transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase and 2 does counter to that of 1. 相似文献

The dissociation products of isolated phycobilisomes of Mastigocladus laminosus were separated and analyzed by ultracentrifugation and, in part, by isoelectric focusing. With the exception of the allophycocyanin core, the sedimentation constants of peripheral phycocyanin- and phycoerythrocyanin-phycocyanin complexes lay in the range of 6 to 17S. The latter was represented by a 17S aggregate of two hexameric phycocyanins (dodecamer, dipartite unit). A complex with an absorption maximum at 610 nm (phycocyanin) and a shoulder at 580 nm (phycoerythrocyanin), a fluorescence emission maximum at 645 nm and a sedimentation constant of 11 S is described as a heterogeneously composed hexamer of ()3-phycoerythrocyanin-()3-phycocyanin. It was stable under extended dissociation in the cold and under isoelectric focusing. An aggregate of 14 S with an absorption maximum at 576 nm and a shoulder in the fluorescence emission spectrum at 625 nm (phycoerythrocyanin) in addition to the maximum at 645 nm (phycocyanin) is interpreted as a polar phycoerythrocyanin/ phycoerythrocyanin-phycocyanin complex. Combining these complexes with phycocyanin dodecamers creates peripheral rods of the phycobilisome. A proposal of the phycobiliprotein distribution within the phycobilisome of M. laminosus is presented.Abbreviations APC

The endogenous concentrations of Sc, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, and Lu were determined by neutron activation analysis in up to five successive needle age classes of Norway spruce (Picea abies). Trees from nine sites over different bedrocks were sampled individually. Concentration values found are generally much lower than those reported in the literature. This is attributed to the careful removal of any aerosols or soil particles from the needle surface prior to analysis. The concentration of each element increases linearly with the needle age class, i.e., the accumulation can be characterized by just one parameter, the yearly increment. This pattern is followed at small as well as at large concentrations. The accumulation behavior of the investigated elements is identical to that of Si. The relative concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE) in the needles are similar to those in the earth crust. There are significant correlations between the individual REE and between Sc and La. 相似文献

The interaction between DNA and a benzothiazole-quinoline cyanine dye with a trimethine bridge (TO-PRO-3) results in the formation of three noncovalent complexes. Unbound TO-PRO-3 has an absorption maximum (λmax) of 632 nm, while the bound dyes (with calf thymus DNA) have electronic transitions with λmax = 514nm (complex I), 584nm (complex II) and 642 nm (complex III). The blue shifts in the electronic transitions and the bisignate shape of the circular dichroism bands indicate that TO-PRO-3 aggregates with DNA. Complex I has a high dye:base pair stoichiometry, which does not depend on base sequence or base modifications. The bound dyes exhibit strong interdye coupling, based on studies with a short oligonucleotide and on enhanced resonance scattering. From thermal dissociation studies, the complex is weakly associated with DNA. Studies with poly(dGdC)2 and poly(dIdC)2 and competitive binding with distamycin demonstrate that complex II is bound in the minor groove. This complex stabilizes the helix against dissociation. For complex III, the slightly red-shifted electronic transition and the stoichiometry are most consistent with intercalation. Using poly(dAdT)2, the complexes have the following dye mole fractions (Xdye): Xdye = 0.65 (complex I), 0.425 (complex II) and 0.34 (complex III). 相似文献

Adsorption measurements of several actinide [thorium (Th), uranium (U)] and lanthanide [lanthanum (La), europium (Eu), ytterbium (Yb)] cations by Mycobacterium smegmatis showed that sorption kinetics followed a three-phase pattern. For 5% (w/w) bacterial suspensions at pH 1, maximum cation biosorption per gram dry biomass corresponded to 170 mol Th4+ and 187 mol UO

. Adsorption of all cations studied obeyed the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm, which assumes multilayer binding at constant energy. Plots for the Scatchard model showed the existence of at least two types of cation complexation site, with strong and weak affinity and negative cooperation. Th4+ was preferentially adsorbed with respect to the other cations, although all species appeared to compete for the same sites independently of bacterial viability. Adsorption of these cations was accompanied by partial release of magnesium from the cell wall, indicating that exchange reactions occurred at magnesium (Mg)-bonding sites. 相似文献

Mannans of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been implicated as containing the allergens to which bakers and brewers are sensitive and also the antigen recognized by patients with Crohn's disease. A fraction of S. cerevisiae mannan, Sc500, having high affinity for antibodies in Crohn's patients has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy followed by fragmentation using alkaline elimination, partial acid hydrolysis and acetolysis. The released oligosaccharides were separated by gel filtration on a Biogel P4 column and analyzed by fluorescence labeling, HPLC and methylation analysis. The relationship between structure and antigen activity was measured by competitive ELISA. The antigenic activity of the original high molecular weight mannan could be ascribed to terminal Man13Man12 sequences which are rarely found in human glycoproteins but were over-represented in Sc500 compared to other yeast mannans. 相似文献

Two novel molecular magnetic materials, [RBzTPP][Ni(mnt)2] (mnt2− = maleonitriledithiolate, [RBzTPP]+ = 4-R-benzyltriphenylphosphinium; R = CN (1), Cl (2)) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. In crystal of 1, the [Ni(mnt)2]− anions form a dimer via Ni?S and π?π stacking interactions between Ni(mnt)2 planes, and the C-H?Ni and C-H?N H-bonding interactions are found between the [Ni(mnt)2]− anions and the neighboring [CNBzTPP]+ cations. The anions and cations of 2 stack into well-segregated columns in the solid state; and the Ni(III) ions form a 1D alternating chain in a Ni(mnt)2 column through intermolecular Ni?S, or π?π interactions with the Ni?Ni distances of 3.900, 4.198, and 4.165 Å. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for these complexes in the temperature range 1.8-300 K show that the overall magnetic behavior for 1 and 2 indicates the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction, but 1 exhibits an activated magnetic behavior in the high-temperature (HT) region together with a Curie tail in the low-temperature (LT) region. 相似文献

The interaction of three forms of bovine angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with the competitive peptide inhibitor lisinopril with a fluorescent label was studied by the fluorescence polarization technique. The dissociation constants K
d of the enzyme-inhibitor complexes in 50 mM Hepes-buffer, pH 7.5, containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 M ZnCl2 at 37°C were (2.3 ± 0.4)·10–8, (2.1 ± 0.3)·10–8, and (2.1 ± 0.2)·10–8 M for two-domain somatic ACE, single-domain testicular ACE, and for the N-domain of the enzyme, respectively. The interaction of the enzyme with the inhibitor strongly depended on the presence of chloride in the medium, and the apparent dissociation constant of the ACE-chloride complex was (1.3 ± 0.2)·10–3 M for the somatic enzyme. The dissociation kinetics of the complex of the inhibitor with somatic ACE did not fit the kinetics of a first-order reaction, but it was approximated by a model of simultaneous dissociation of two complexes with the dissociation rate constants (0.13 ± 0.01) sec–1 and (0.026 ± 0.001) sec–1 that were present at approximately equal initial concentrations. The dissociation kinetics of the single-domain ACE complexes with the inhibitor were apparently first-order, and the dissociation rate constants were similar: (0.055 ± 0.001) and (0.041 ± 0.001) sec–1 for the N-domain and for testicular ACE, respectively. 相似文献

The energetics of dissociation of bovine insulin in aqueous solution have been investigated by sensitive dilution microcalorimetry. Cyclodextrins increase dissociation of insulin oligomers in a manner consistent with their interaction with protein side chains. For example, assuming monomer-dimer equilibrium, in the absence of cyclo-dextrins the calorimetric dilution data (25 °C, pH 2.5) indicate a dimer dissociation constant (Kdiss) of about 12 µM and an endothermic dissociation enthalpy (Hdiss) of +41 kJ mol–1. Addition of methyl--cyclodextrin (up to 200 mm) makes dissociation significantly more endothermic (Hdiss = 79 kJ mol–1) and reduces the apparent dimer dissociation constant by more than two orders of magnitude (Kdiss 1.7 mm). Qualitatively similar results are observed with -cyclodextrin and other -cyclodextrin derivatives. Cyclodextrin-induced insulin dissociation is also observed at pH 7.4. 相似文献

Summary A reproducible Romanowsky-Giemsa staining (RGS) can be carried out with standardized staining solutions containing the two dyes azure B (AB) and eosin Y (EY). After staining, cell nuclei have a purple coloration generated by DNA-AB-EY complexes. The microspectra of cell nuclei have a sharp and intense absorption band at 18 100 cm–1 (552 nm), the so called Romanowsky band (RB), which is due to the EY chromophore of the dye complexes. Other absorption bands can be assigned to the DNA-bound AB cations.Artificial DNA-AB-EY complexes can be prepared outside the cell by subsequent staining of DNA with AB and EY. In the first step of our staining experiments we prepared thin films of blue DNA-AB complexes on microslides with 1:1 composition: each anionic phosphodiester residue of the nucleic acid was occupied by one AB cation. Microspectrophotometric investigations of the dye preparations demonstrated that, besides monomers and dimers, mainly higher AB aggregates are bound to DNA by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. These DNA-AB complexes are insoluble in water. Therefore it was possible to stain the DNA-AB films with aqueous EY solutions and also to prepare insoluble DNA-AB-EY films in the second step of the staining experiments. After the reaction with EY, thin sites within the dye preparations were purple. The microspectra of the purple spots show a strong Romanowsky band at 18 100 cm–1. Using a special technique it was possible to estimate the composition of the purple dye complexes. The ratio of the two dyes was approximately EY:AB1:3. The EY anions are mainly bound by hydrophobic interaction to the AB framework of the electrical neutral DNA-AB complexes. The EY absorption is red shifted by the interaction of EY with the AB framework of DNA-AB-EY. We suppose that this red shift is caused by a dielectric polarization of the bound EY dianions.The DNA chains in the DNA-AB complexes can mechanically be aligned in a preferred direction k. Highly orientated dye complexes prepared on microslides were birefringent and dichroic. The orientation is maintained during subsequent staining with aqueous EY solutions. In this way we also prepared highly orientated purple DNA-AB-EY complexes on microslides. The light absorption of both types of dye complexes was studied by means of a microspectrophotometer equipped with a polarizer and an analyser. The sites of best orientation within the dye preparations were selected under crossed nicols according to the quality of birefringence. Subsequently, the absorption spectra of the highly orientated dye complexes were measured with plane polarized light. We found that the transition moments, m
AB, of the bound AB cations in DNA-AB and DNA-AB-EY are orientated almost perpendicular to k, i.e. m
ABk. On the contrary, the transition moments, m
EY, of the bound EY anions in DNA-AB-EY are polarized parallel to k, i.e. m
EY k. The transition moments m
AB and m
EY lay in the direction of the long axes of the AB and EY chromophores. For that reason, in both DNA-AB and DNA-AB-EY the long molecular axes of the AB cations are orientated approximately perpendicular to the DNA chains, while the long molecular axes of the EY chromophores are polarized in the direction of the DNA chains. Therefore, in DNA-AB-EY the long axes of AB and EY are perpendicular to each other, m

The effects of aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), iron (Fe), gallium (Ga), scandium (Sc) and lanthanum (La) on growth of an Al-tolerant and an Al-sensitive line of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were measured in solution culture. The concentrations of nutrients in the basal nutrient solution were (M) 500 Ca, 100 Mg, 300 K, 600 N (150 NH4, 450 NO3), 600 SO4, 2.5 P, 3 B, 2.5 Fe, 0.5 Zn, 0.5 Mn, 0.1 Cu at a pH of 4.7. The major solution nutrient concentrations were maintained at the nominal concentration with monitoring, frequent additions and weekly renewal. Differentiation in yield between the Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive line only occurred in the presence of Al indicating that, in the long term, none of the other metals tested could be used as an analog for Al. The visual symptoms in the roots of Cu toxicity (in both lines) and Al toxicity (in the sensitive line) were similar. The solution concentration (M) at which yield of the roots of the tolerant line was reduced by 50% was, in order of increasing tolerance, Cu 0.5, Sc 1.1, La 7.1, Ga 8.6, Al 15, Zn 19, Fe 84, B 490 and Mn 600. 相似文献

The effects of La3+ on the unfolded protein response signaling pathways were investigated in human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells. Our data showed that La3+ could induce unfolded protein response in HepG2 cells, including a significant increase of BiP/GRP78 level, which is an important ER residential chaperone and an ER stress hallmark, in a concentration and time-dependent manner, UPR transducer IRE1 phosphorylation and splicing activation IRE1 downstream substrate XBP1 mRNA. By using La3+-affinity chromatography, the possible cellular target of La3+ leading to UPR events was shown to be the ER residential chaperone BiP/GRP78. BiP/GRP78 was shown to be a La3+ binding protein and the interaction of La3+ with BiP/GRP78 resulted in dissociation of BiP-IRE1 complexes. La3+ induced dissociation of the BiP/GRP78-IRE1 complex was in a time and concentration manner. The apparent dissociation constant was estimated to be 4 nM. In addition, La3+ was observed to slightly stimulate the production of cellular ROS and cause alteration of intracellular Ca2+, indicating the possible involvement of ROS and Ca2+ alteration in La3+ induced UPR. The present work provides a new perspective for understanding the biological and toxicological effects of La3+. 相似文献

Variations in sulfation of heparan sulfate (HS) affect interaction with FGF, FGFR, and FGF-HS-FGFR signaling complexes. Whether structurally distinct HS motifs are at play is unclear. Here we used stabilized recombinant FGF7 as a bioaffinity matrix to purify size-defined heparin oligosaccharides. We show that only 0.2%-4% of 6 to 14 unit oligosaccharides, respectively, have high affinity for FGF7 based on resistance to salt above 0.6M NaCl. The high affinity fractions exhibit highest specific activity for interaction with FGFR2IIIb and formation of complexes of FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb. The majority fractions with moderate (0.30-0.6M NaCl), low (0.14-0.30M NaCl) or no affinity at 0.14M NaCl for FGF7 supported no complex formation. The high affinity octasaccharide mixture exhibited predominantly 7- and 8-sulfated components (7,8-S-OctaF7) and formed FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb complexes with highest specific activity. Deduced disaccharide analysis indicated that 7,8-S-OctaF7 comprised of DeltaHexA2SGlcN6S in a 2:1 ratio to a trisulfated and a variable unsulfated or monosulfated disaccharide. The inactive octasaccharides with moderate affinity for FGF7 were much more heterogenous and highly sulfated with major components containing 11 or 12 sulfates comprised of predominantly trisulfated disaccharides. This suggests that a rare undersulfated motif in which sulfate groups are specifically distributed has highest affinity for FGF7. The same motif also exhibits structural requirements for high affinity binding to dimers of FGFR2IIIb prior to binding FGF7 to form FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb complexes. In contrast, the majority of more highly sulfated HS motifs likely play FGFR-independent roles in stability and control of access of FGF7 to FGFR2IIIb in the tissue matrix. 相似文献

Plumbagin (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, H-PLN) was isolated from Plumbago zeylanica, the anticancer traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Five new lanthanide(III) complexes of deprotonated plumbagin: [Y(PLN)3(H2O)2] (1), [La(PLN)3(H2O)2] (2), [Sm(PLN)3(H2O)2]⋅H2O (3), [Gd(PLN)3(H2O)2] (4), and [Dy(PLN)3(H2O)2] (5) were synthesized by the reaction of plumbagin with the corresponding lanthanide salts, in amounts equal to ligand/metal molar ratio of 3:1. The PLN-lanthanide(III) complexes were characterized by different physicochemical methods: elemental analyses, UV-visible, IR and 1H NMR and ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrum) as well as TGA (thermogravimetric analysis). The plumbagin and its lanthanide(III) complexes 1-5, were tested for their in vitro cytotoxicity against BEL7404 (liver cancer) cell lines by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The five PLN-lanthanide (III) complexes 1-5 effectively inhibited BEL7404 cell lines growth with IC50 values of 11.0 ± 3.5, 5.1 ± 1.3, 6.1 ± 1.1, 6.4 ± 1.3, and 9.8 ± 1.5 μM, respectively, and exhibited a significantly enhanced cytotoxicity compared to plumbagin and the corresponding lanthanide salts, suggesting a synergistic effect upon plumbagin coordination to the Ln(III) ion. The lanthanide complexes under investigation also exerted dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic activity. [La(PLN)3(H2O)2] (2) and plumbagin interact with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) mainly via intercalation mode, but for [La(PLN)3(H2O)2] (2), the electrostatic interaction should not be excluded; the binding affinity of [La(PLN)3(H2O)2] (2) to DNA is stronger than that of free plumbagin, which may correlate with the enhanced cytotoxicity of the PLN-lanthanide(III) complexes. 相似文献

The nicotianamine molecule is made-to-measure for complexation of metal micronutrients in plants 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The non-proteinogenic amino acid nicotianamine (NA) is ubiquitous among plants. In meristematic tissues it reaches concentrations of about 400mol (g fresh weight)–1. NA forms complexes, among others, with the metal micronutrients (MN) copper, zinc, iron and manganese (logK
MeNA 18.6-8.8). Calculations of the dissociation curves of the metal-NA complexes based on the complex formation constants and on the acid dissociation constants of NA revealed their stability at the neutral or weak alkaline pH of cytoplasm and sieve tube sap. For the Mn-NA complex, dissociation begins at about pH 6.5, for all others dissociation occurs at more acid pHs. Thus, metal-NA complexes could theoretically persist also in the apoplasm and in xylem sap. The octanol water partition coefficient of NA is about 1 and those of its metal complexes are in the range of 0.3–0.4. The reason for this shift is perhaps the negative charge of the complexes. The higher lipophilicity of the free NA indicates that the NA supply to sites of requirement is faster than the removal of the complexes as long as membranes are an integral part of the transport paths. Changing phloem transport rates of MN-NA complexes by manipulation of the cotyledon apoplasm of Ricinus commuais L. suggest a competition of MN for NA at the site(s) of phloem loading. Thus, NA could control MN transport via phloem including recirculation. 相似文献
