Anharmonic Couplings

We review the mechanics of H-bonds as revealed by ir spectroscopy and show how the various (strong) anharmonic couplings of the νs vibrations [Formula: see text]of H-bonds may be treated so as to eliminate the irrelevant features of the spectra and keep only those features which may give information on the still unknown dynamical quantities of the H-bonds, such as the transfer of protons through H-bonds or the mechanism of rupture of H-bonds. We also describe the possibilities offered by vibrational spectroscopy for studying these dynamical quantities, which may be important in biology.

The H-bonded NH stretching fundamentals of protonated amine–water clusters pass through the “Fermi resonance window” formed by bending overtones, generating split bands due to anharmonic couplings.

SummarySevere Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is relatively frequent in Iraqi-Jews and Arabs residing in Israel. We have recently described the mutations responsible for the disease in Iraqi-Jews – an 11 base pair deletion in exon 12 of the glycoprotein IIIa gene, and in Arabs – a 13 base pair deletion at the AG acceptor splice site of exon 4 on the glycoprotein IIb gene. In this communication we show that the Iraqi-Jewish mutation can be identified directly by polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis. With specially designed oligonucleotide primers encompassing the mutation site, an 80 base pair segment amplified in healthy controls was clearly distinguished from the 69 base pair segment produced in patients. Patients from 11 unrelated Iraqi-Jewish families had the same mutation. The Arab mutation was identified by first amplifying a DNA segment consisting of 312 base pairs in controls and of 299 base pairs in patients, and then digestion by a restriction enzyme Stu-1, which recognizes a site that is absent in the mutant gene. In controls the 312 bp segment was digested into 235 and 77 bp fragments, while in patients there was no change in the size of the amplified 299 bp segment. The mutation was found in patients from 3 out of 5 unrelated Arab families. Both Iraqi-Jewish and Arab mutations were detectable in DNA extracted from blood and urine samples. The described simple methods of identifying the mutations should be useful for detection of the numerous potential carriers among the affected kindreds and for prenatal diagnosis using DNA extracted from chorionic villi samples.

Detection Of Mutations

SummaryTwelve different mutations in the WASP gene were found in twelve unrelated families with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) or X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). Four frameshift, one splice, one nonsense mutation, and one 18-base-pair deletion were detected in seven patients with WAS. Only missense mutations were found in five patients diagnosed as having XLT. One of the nucleotide substitutions in exon 2 (codon 86) results in an Arg to Cys replacement. Two other nucleotide substitutions in this codon, R86L and R86H, have been reported previously, both giving rise to typical WAS symptoms, indicating a mutational hot spot in this codon. The finding of mutations in the WASP gene in both WAS and XLT gives further evidence of these syndromes being allelic. The relatively small size of the WASP gene facilitates the detection of mutations and a reliable diagnosis of both carriers and affected fetuses in families with WAS or XLT.

The present paper is interested in the study of compounds from the apatite family with the general formula Ca10 (PO4)6A2. It particularly brings to light the exploitation of the distinctive stereochemistries of two Ca positions in apatite. In fact, Gd-Bearing oxyapatiteCa8 Gd2 (PO4)6O2 has been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The site occupancies of substituents is0.3333 in Gd and 0.3333 for Ca in the Ca(1) position and 0. 5 for Gd in the Ca (2) position.  Besides, the observed frequencies in the Raman and infrared spectra were explained and discussed on the basis of unit-cell group analyses.
