Extraction Constants

The extraction of polyethylene glycol of average molecular mass 400 (PEG 400) with dicarbolide solution in nitrobenzene and of longer-chain polyethylene glycol, of average molecular mass 1 500 (PEG 1 500), with chlorinated dicarbolide solution in nitrobenzene was studied. During the extraction of PEG 400, the polyethylene glycol solvates the Horg+ ion in the organic phase giving rise to the HLorg+ species (L is polyethylene glycol). The obtained value of the extraction constant Kex(HLorg+) = 933 is consistent with published data of metal extraction. Extraction of PEG 1 500 was treated applying the simplified assumption that the thermodynamic behaviour of PEG 1 500 is the same as that of n molecules of polyethylene glycol with relative molecular mass 1 500/n, each solvating one cation. For this model, the value of n = 3.2 ± 1.1 and the values of the extraction constants of the HL1/n,org+ and HL2/n,org+ species were obtained by using the adapted program LETAGROP. This value of n is consistent with published extraction data in the presence of polyethylene glycol with a relative molecular mass from 200 to 1 000.

Microchannel Resonators

In this work we study the different phenomena taking place when a hydrostatic pressure is applied in the inner fluid of a suspended microchannel resonator. Additionally to pressure-induced stiffness terms, we have theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated that the pressure also induces mass effects which depend on both the applied pressure and the fluid properties. We have used these phenomena to characterize the frequency response of the device as a function of the fluid compressibility and molecular masses of different fluids ranging from liquids to gases. The proposed device in this work can measure the mass density of an unknown liquid sample with a resolution of 0.7 µg/mL and perform gas mixtures characterization by measuring its average molecular mass with a resolution of 0.01 atomic mass units.

Abstract Thyroid peroxidase is a heme-containing, membrane-bound, glycoprotein enzyme that catalyzes iodination and coupling in the thyroid gland. It is also the antigen for microsomal autoantibodies that are commonly found in the serum of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. We examined the effect of deglycosylation on the catalytic functions and the immunoreactivity of this enzyme. A highly purified, solubilized, large tryptic fragment of porcine thyroid peroxidase, retaining all of the N-linked glycosylation sites of the native enzyme and displaying full catalytic activity was used. It was deglycosylated by treatment with N-glycanase under nondenaturing conditions. The loss in relative molecular mass after treatment, determined by gel electrophoresis, was about 75% of the estimated molecular weight of the glycan portion of porcine thyroid peroxidase. Lectin blots performed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A showed a similar loss in relative molecular mass but some residual carbohydrate. The intensity of the carbohydrate stain was consistent with the loss of about 75% of the glycans. Despite this loss, three different assays for catalytic activity of porcine thyroid peroxidase were not significantly decreased. Immunoreactivity measured by immunoblotting and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was also unimpaired. These findings suggest that N-glycanase-sensitive glycans in porcine thyroid peroxidase do not act as antigenic determinants and play a minor role, if any, in catalytic activity and, presumably therefore, in the maintenance of protein conformation.

A melanogenic enzyme catalysing the rearrangement of dopachrome has been identified in the ejected ink of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis. This enzyme occurs as a heat-labile protein which co-migrates with tyrosinase under a variety of chromatographic and electrophoretic conditions. On SDS/PAGE it shows like a single band with an approx. molecular mass of 85 kDa. The enzyme possesses high substrate specificity, acting on L-dopachrome (Km = 1 mM at pH 6.8) and on L-alpha-methyl-dopachrome, but not on D-dopachrome, L-dopachrome methyl ester, dopaminochrome and adrenochrome. Significant inhibition of the catalytic activity was observed with tropolone and L-mimosine. H.p.1.c. analysis of the enzyme-catalysed rearrangement of L-dopachrome revealed the quantitative formation of the decarboxylated product, 5,6-dihydroxyindole. These results point to marked differences between melanogenesis in cephalopod pigment cells and in melanocytes, which may have important implications in relation to the use of sepiomelanin as a model for studies of mammalian melanins.

ABSTRACTA levan-producing strain, BD1707, was isolated from Tibetan kefir and identified asLeuconostoc citreum. The effects of carbon sources on the growth ofL. citreumBD1707 and levan production in tomato juice were measured. The changes in pH, viable cell count, sugar content, and levan yield in the cultured tomato juice supplemented with 15% (wt/vol) sucrose were also assayed.L. citreumBD1707 could synthesize more than 28 g/liter of levan in the tomato juice-sucrose medium when cultured at 30°C for 96 h. Based on the monosaccharide composition, molecular mass distribution, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, the levan synthesized byL. citreumBD1707 was composed of a linear backbone consisting of consecutive β-(2→6) linkedd-fructofuranosyl units, with an estimated average molecular mass of 4.3 × 106Da.

The characterization of microstructure and basic properties of domestic butyl rubber 1751 ( IIR 1751) was performed with different testing , such as 1H-NMR spectrum, gel permeation chromatography, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimeter. And the comparison with Butyl 268 and Butyl 301 was made. The results showed that IIR1751 had a narrower molecular mass distribution, lower number-average molecular mass and lower weight-average molecular mass. The unsaturation degree of IIR1751 was close to Butyl 268 and Butyl 301. Its thermal stability was higher than the other and its ash content and volatile matter content was lower. Its glass transition temperature was same to Butyl 268’s, which was slightly higher than the Butyl 301. Dispersion of carbon black in IIR1751 vulcanizates was poor, but IIR1751 vulcanizates had good processing property, had a longer scorch safety period and fast curing rate. Its fatigue performance was good and its mechanical properties can achieve a better balance.

Abstract Pine kraft lignin was purified to obtain a kraft lignin preparation (KL) with weight average molecular mass (Mw) of 5500. The KL was then ozonated with an ozone-air stream containing 2–2.5% of ozone in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution to prepare ozonated kraft lignin preparations with ozone consumption of 10, 25, 30 and 40% per KL; Oz-10-KL, Oz-25-KL, Oz-30-KL and Oz-40-KL, respectively. The pH of reaction mixture was decreased with increasing ozone consumption, while the carboxylic acid content and the Mw of resulting ozonated lignins increase with increasing ozone consumption. The KL and its ozonated preparations were then characterized by elemental composition, functional group analysis, molecular mass distribution and nitrobenzene-K4MnO4 oxidation. The results showed that the KL extensively undergoes oxidative cleavage of both side chains and aromatic moieties without decrease in the Mw as well as dehydrogenationive coupling of phenolic degraded fragments by active oxygen radical species, such as hydroperoxyl and hydroxyl radicals. The formation of these active oxygen radical species are produced by way of a series of reactions initiated by the reaction of ozone with hydroxide anions at pH range of 12.4–10.5, producing superoxide (-O2•) and hydroperoxyl (HOO•) radicals.
