The molecule of the well-known ulceration inhibitor, famotidine, is an excellent coordinator of transition metal ions. The guanidine, amine group and thiazole nitrogen, and the thioether sulphur are preferential sites to bind metal ions. Pd(II) and Pt(II) derivatives of famotidine have been synthesized and studied structurally. There is evidence that the palladium complex is a monomer while the platinum complex forms a dimer. Due to the interesting structure of the platinum complex several assays have examined the possible antitumour activity. Changes in DNA conformation induced by both complexes have been detected by CD, interstrand crosslinking interactions and electrophoretic mobility, but studies of the cytotoxicity of the platinum compound with U937 human leukemia cells and HeLA human womb carcinoma cells show only a small antiproliferative potential. 相似文献

Background
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum are able to infect horses. However, the extend to which Danish horses are infected and seroconvert due to these two bacteria is unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato and A. phagocytophilum in Danish horses.Methods
A total of 390 blood samples collected from all major regions of Denmark and with a geographical distribution corresponding to the density of the Danish horse population were analyzed. All samples were examined for the presence of antibodies against B. burgdorferi sensu lato and A. phagocytophilum by the use of the SNAP®4DX ® ELISA test.Results
Overall, 29.0% of the horses were seropositive for B. burgdorferi sensu lato whereas 22.3% were seropositive for A. phagocytophilum.Conclusions
Antibodies against B burgdorferi sensu lato and A. phagocytophilum are commonly found among Danish horses thus showing that Danish horses are frequently infected by these organisms.4.

Photoautotrophic organisms efficiently regulate absorption of light energy to sustain photochemistry while promoting photoprotection. Photoprotection is achieved in part by triggering a series of dissipative processes termed non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), which depend on the re-organization of photosystem (PS) II supercomplexes in thylakoid membranes. Using atomic force microscopy, we characterized the structural attributes of grana thylakoids from Arabidopsis thaliana to correlate differences in PSII organization with the role of SOQ1, a recently discovered thylakoid protein that prevents formation of a slowly reversible NPQ state. We developed a statistical image analysis suite to discriminate disordered from crystalline particles and classify crystalline arrays according to their unit cell properties. Through detailed analysis of the local organization of PSII supercomplexes in ordered and disordered phases, we found evidence that interactions among light-harvesting antenna complexes are weakened in the absence of SOQ1, inducing protein rearrangements that favor larger separations between PSII complexes in the majority (disordered) phase and reshaping the PSII crystallization landscape. The features we observe are distinct from known protein rearrangements associated with NPQ, providing further support for a role of SOQ1 in a novel NPQ pathway. The particle clustering and unit cell methodology developed here is generalizable to multiple types of microscopy and will enable unbiased analysis and comparison of large data sets. 相似文献

Estimates of DNA and protein sequence divergence: an examination of some assumptions 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
Some of the assumptions underlying estimates of DNA and protein sequence
divergence are examined. A solution for the variance of these estimates
that allows for different mutation rates and different population sizes in
each species and for an arbitrary structure in the initial population is
obtained. It is shown that these conditions do not strongly affect
estimates of divergence. In general, they cause the variance of divergence
to be smaller than a binomial variance. Thus, the binomial variance that is
usually assumed for these estimates is safely conservative. It is shown
that variability in the mutation rate among sites can have an effect as
large as or larger than variability in the mutation rate among bases.
Variability in the mutation rate among bases and among sites causes the
number of substitutions between two sequences to be underestimated. Protein
and DNA sequences from several species are collected to estimate the
variability in mutation rates among sites. When many homologous sequences
are known, standard methods to estimate this variability can be used. The
estimates of this variability show that this factor is important when
considering the spectrum of spontaneous mutations and is strongly reflected
in the divergence of sequences. Smaller variability is found for the third
position of codons than for the first and second codon positions. This may
be because of less selective constraints on this position or because the
third position has been saturated with mutations for the sequences
examined.

A histidine-2′-deoxyguanosine hybrid, Phac-Hse(p5′dG)-His-OH (I), was synthesized, and its reaction with cisplatin was monitored by reversed-phase HPLC and 1H NMR. Two new compounds, II and III, were observed to be simultaneously formed, II in larger proportion than III. These products were isolated after HPLC purification and extensively characterized. Both II and III contained platinum, had the same mass and showed a bathochromic displacement of their absorption maxima with respect to that
of I. Both remained undegraded upon enzymatic digestion and yielded I when treated with NaCN. From these data and the information provided by 1H NMR analysis, we inferred that II and III were constitutional isomers, in particular chelates in which platinum was coordinated to the N7 of guanine and either the
Nπ or the Nτ imidazole nitrogens, respectively. No preference of the metal for either of these N-donors was observed.

Background
Fornicata is a relatively recently established group of protists that includes the diplokaryotic diplomonads (which have two similar nuclei per cell), and the monokaryotic enteromonads, retortamonads and Carpediemonas, with the more typical one nucleus per cell. The monophyly of the group was confirmed by molecular phylogenetic studies, but neither the internal phylogeny nor its position on the eukaryotic tree has been clearly resolved. 相似文献10.
