Dianin's Compound

Dianin's compound (4-p-hydroxyphenyl-2,2,4-trimethylchroman) serves as host in a series of well-defined clathrate inclusion complexes with eleven linear, as well as branched chain, phenyl alkyl ketone guest molecules, chosen for their ability to undergo the Norrish type I and type II photochemical reactions in solution. The photochemical reactivity of the guest ketones within the clathrate cavity was determined by irradiation of the inclusion complexes in the solid state. The results were compared to the photoreactivity of the ketones in polar as well as nonpolar liquid media. In general, the inclusion complex medium brings about an enhancement of type I over type II reactivity and causes an increase in type II fragmentation compared to type II cyclization. This change in reactivity is interpreted as resulting from the relatively restricted environment of the clathrate cavity coupled with the greater motion required for the type II process (γ-hydrogen abstraction) compared to the type I reaction (α-cleavage), as well as from the greater steric requirements for type II cyclization (cyclobutanol formation) as compared to type II cleavage (1,4-hydroxybiradical scission).

Abstract The review considers the spectral kinetic data obtained by us by femtosecond absorption laser spectroscopy for the photochromic reaction of retinal isomerization in animal rhodopsin (type II), namely, bovine visual rhodopsin and microbial rhodopsins (type I), such as Exiguobacterium sibiricum rhodopsin and Halobacterium salinarum bacteriorhodopsin. It is shown that the elementary act of the photoreaction of retinal isomerization in type I and type II rhodopsins can be interpreted as a transition through a conical intersection with retention of the coherence of the vibrational wave packets generated during excitation. The coherent nature of the reaction is most pronounced in visual rhodopsin as a result of the barrier-free movement along the excited surface of potential energy, which also leads to an extremely high rate of retinal isomerization compared to microbial rhodopsins. Differences in the dynamics of photochemical reactions of type I and type II rhodopsins can be related to both differences in the initial isomeric forms of their chromophores (all-trans and 11-cis retinal, respectively), as well as with the effect of the protein environment on the chromophore. Despite the practically identical values of the quantum yields of the direct photoreaction of visual rhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin, the reverse photoreaction of visual rhodopsin is much less effective (φ = 0.15) than in the case of bacteriorhodopsin (φ = 0.81). It can be assumed that the photobiological mechanism for converting light into an information process in the evolutionarily younger visual rhodopsins (type II rhodopsins) should be more reliable than the mechanism for converting light into a photoenergetic process in the evolutionarily more ancient microbial rhodopsins (type I rhodopsins). The low value of the quantum yield of the reverse reaction of visual rhodopsin can be considered as an increase in the reliability of the forward reaction, which triggers the process of phototransduction.

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

Experimental infection of chimpanzees with non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) or with delta agent hepatitis results in the appearance of characteristic cytoplasmic alterations in the hepatocytes. These alterations include spongelike inclusions (Type I), attached convoluted membranes (Type II), tubular structures (Type III), and microtubular aggregates (Type IV) (Fig. 1). Type I, II and III structures are, by association, believed to be derived from endoplasmic reticulum and may be morphogenetically related. Type IV structures are generally observed free in the cytoplasm but sometimes in the vicinity of type III structures. It is not known whether these structures are somehow involved in the replication and/or assembly of the putative NANB virus or whether they are simply nonspecific responses to cellular injury. When treated with uranyl acetate, type I, II and III structures stain intensely as if they might contain nucleic acids. If these structures do correspond to intermediates in the replication of a virus, one might expect them to contain DNA or RNA and the present study was undertaken to explore this possibility.

Methylotrophic bacteria play an Important role in the environment in the oxidation of methane and methanol. Extensive intracytoplasmic membranes (ICM) have been associated with the oxidation processes in methylotrophs and chemolithotrophic bacteria. Classification on the basis of ICM arrangement distinguishes 2 types of methylotrophs. Bundles or vesicular stacks of ICM located away from the cytoplasmic membrane and extending into the cytoplasm are present in Type I methylotrophs. In Type II methylotrophs, the ICM form pairs of peripheral membranes located parallel to the cytoplasmic membrane. Complex cell wall structures of tightly packed cup-shaped subunits have been described in strains of marine and freshwater phototrophic sulfur bacteria and several strains of methane oxidizing bacteria. We examined the ultrastructure of the methylotrophs with particular view of the ICM and surface structural features, between representatives of the Type I Methylomonas albus (BG8), and Type II Methylosinus trichosporium (OB-36).

Digital transformation has led to changes in business models of traditional players in the existing markets. What is more, new entrants and new markets appeared, in particular platforms and multisided markets. The emergence and rapid development of platforms are caused primarily by the existence of so called indirect network externalities. Regarding to this, a question arises of whether the existing instruments of competition law enforcement and market analysis are still relevant when analyzing markets with digital platforms? This paper aims at discussing advantages and disadvantages of using various tools to define markets with platforms. In particular, we define the features of the SSNIP test when being applyed to markets with platforms. Furthermore, we analyze adjustment in tests for platform market definition in terms of possible type I and type II errors. All in all, it turns out that to reduce the likelihood of type I and type II errors while applying market definition technique to markets with platforms one should consider the type of platform analyzed: transaction platforms without pass-through and non-transaction matching platforms should be tackled as players in a multisided market, whereas non-transaction platforms should be analyzed as players in several interrelated markets. However, if the platform is allowed to adjust prices, there emerges additional challenge that the regulator and companies may manipulate the results of SSNIP test by applying different models of competition.

Udp Glucuronosyltransferase

Background: Crigler–Najjar syndrome type I (CN-1) and type II (CN-2) are rare hereditary unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia disorders. However, there have been no reports regarding the co-existence of CN-1 and CN-2 in one family. We experienced a case of an Iranian family that included members with either CN-1 or CN-2. Genetic analysis revealed a mutation in the bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene that resulted in residual enzymatic activity.Case report: The female proband developed severe hyperbilirubinemia [total serum bilirubin concentration (TB) = 34.8 mg/dL] with bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus) and died after liver transplantation. Her family history included a cousin with kernicterus (TB = 30.0 mg/dL) diagnosed as CN-1. Her great grandfather (TB unknown) and uncle (TB = 23.0 mg/dL) developed jaundice, but without any treatment, they remained healthy as CN-2. Results: The affected cousin was homozygous for a novel frameshift mutation (c.381insGG, p.C127WfsX23). The affected uncle was compound heterozygous for p.C127WfsX23 and p.V225G linked with A(TA)7TAA. p.V225G-UGT1A1 reduced glucuronidation activity to 60% of wild-type. Thus, linkage of A(TA)7TAA and p.V225G might reduce UGT1A1 activity to 18%–36 % of the wild-type. Conclusion: Genetic and in vitro expression analyses are useful for accurate genetic counseling for a family with a history of both CN-1 and CN-2. Abbreviations: CN-1: Crigler–Najjar syndrome type I; CN-2: Crigler–Najjar syndrome type II; GS: Gilbert syndrome; UGT1A1: bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase; WT: Wild type; TB: total serum bilirubin.
