The kinetics of electroreduction of the aquopentamminochromium(III) cation have been studied at a Hg electrode in acidified aqueous solutions of NaI+ NaClO4 with an ionic strength of 0.25 M. The rate of reaction increased with increase in iodide concentration due to the accelerating effect of this anion when it is adsorbed on the electrode. Analysis of the double layer effect indicates that the rate acceleration is greater than that predicted by the Frumkin theory chiefly because the reaction site is closer to the electrode than to the outer Helmholtz plane.

Capacity Data

The adsorption of nitrate ion at mercury has been studied from two systems at constant ionic strength, namely, xM NaNO3 + (0.2 − x) M NaF and x M KNO3 + (0.2 − x) M KF. The surface excess due to adsorbed nitrate ions was determined from differential capacity data using a modified version of the Hurwitz–Parsons analysis which takes into consideration variation in ionic activity coefficients with solution composition. The amount of adsorbed nitrate ion at a given electrode charge density and bulk nitrate ion concentration is shown to depend markedly on both ionic strength and the nature of the counter ion at the outer Helmholtz plane; when the charge in the diffuse layer is positive, an increase in ionic strength results in more anion adsorption and vice versa. A change in the cation from Na+ to K+ also results in increased anion adsorption. The effects observed are discussed in terms of the Stern–Grahame–Levine model for ionic adsorption which is based on an electrostatic description of the charged interface with consideration of discreteness-of-charge effects.

The kinetics of electroreduction of tetrathionate anion have been studied at a Hg electrode in aqueous solutions of Nal + NaF and KI + KF with an ionic strength of 0.25 M. The rate of reaction was observed to decrease as the iodide ion concentration was increased, and when the cation was changed from K+ to Na+ at constant electrode potential. Analysis of the double layer effects on the basis of the Frumkin model results in an overestimation of the repulsive effect of the adsorbed iodide anions. This result is interpreted on the basis of the discreteness-of-charge effect and the possible non-coincidence of the reaction plane and outer Helmholtz plane.

Preparation Techniques

Under a variety of electron microscope specimen preparation techniques different forms of chromatin appearance can be distinguished: beads-on-a-string, a 100 Å nucleofilament, a 250 Å fiber and a compact 300 to 500 Å fiber.Using a standardized specimen preparation technique we wanted to find out whether there is any relation between these different forms of chromatin or not. We show that with increasing ionic strength a chromatin fiber consisting of a row of nucleo- somes progressively folds up into a solenoid-like structure with a diameter of about 300 Å.For the preparation of chromatin for electron microscopy the avoidance of stretching artifacts during adsorption to the carbon supports is of utmost importance. The samples are fixed with 0.1% glutaraldehyde at 4°C for at least 12 hrs. The material was usually examined between 24 and 48 hrs after the onset of fixation.

Microscopy Images

In the SEM, contrast in the image is the result of variations in the volume secondary electron emission and backscatter emission which reaches the detector and serves to intensity modulate the signal for the CRT's. This emission is a function of the accelerating potential, material density, chemistry, crystallography, local charge effects, surface morphology and especially the angle of the incident electron beam with the particular surface site. Aside from the influence of object inclination, the surface morphology is the most important feature In producing contrast. “Specimen collection“ is the name given the shielding of the collector by adjacent parts of the specimen, producing much image contrast. This type of contrast can occur for both secondary and backscatter electrons even though the secondary electrons take curved paths to the detector-collector.Figure 1 demonstrates, in a unique and striking fashion, the specimen collection effect. The subject material here is Armco Iron, 99.85% purity, which was spark machined.

The high contrast in the dark-field mode of dedicated STEM, specimen deposition by the wet film technique and low radiation dose (1 e/Å2) at -160°C make it possible to obtain high resolution images of unstained freeze-dried macromolecules with minimal structural distortion. Since the image intensity is directly related to the local projected mass of the specimen it became feasible to determine the molecular mass and mass distribution within individual macromolecules and from these data to calculate the linear density (M/L) and the radii of gyration.2 This parameter (RQ), reflecting the three-dimensional structure of the macromolecular particles in solution, has been applied to monitor the conformational transitions in E. coli 16S and 23S ribosomal RNAs in solutions of various ionic strength.In spite of the differences in mass (550 kD and 1050 kD, respectively), both 16S and 23S RNA appear equally sensitive to changes in buffer conditions. In deionized water or conditions of extremely low ionic strength both appear as filamentous structures (Fig. la and 2a, respectively) possessing a major backbone with protruding branches which are more frequent and more complex in 23S RNA (Fig. 2a).

Helical Parameters

The bacterial cell is propelled through the liquid environment by means of one or more rotating flagella. The bacterial flagellum is composed of a basal body (rotary motor), hook (universal coupler), and filament (propellor). The filament is a rigid helical assembly of only one protein species — flagellin. The filament can adopt different morphologies and change, reversibly, its helical parameters (pitch and hand) as a function of mechanical stress and chemical changes (pH, ionic strength) in the environment.
