The assignment of the aromatic 1H n.m.r. resonances of the four tyrosine residues of bovine 2-zinc insulin is reported, based on double resonance techniques, use of Hahn spin echo pulse sequences and examination of specific derivatives nitrated at tyrosines A14 and A19 as well as des-(B26-B30)-insulin. Titration curves of the four tyrosine residues show that residues A14 and B16 have normal pK' values of 10.3-10.6 in solution, consistent with their accessibility to solvent in monomer and dimer in the crystal. Tyrosine residues A19 and B26 have pK' values of 11.4 and exhibit other features in their titration curves that are consistent with limited accessibility to solvent and a nonpolar environment. The meta protons of residues B16 and B26 both observe the titration of a nearby tyrosine residue, probably A19. Interpretation of the n.m.r. data obtained in solution is consistent with the crystallographic data for the monomer and dimer obtained on insulin crystals [Blundell, Dodson, Hodgkin & Mercola (1972) Adv. Protein Chem. 26, 279-402].

Abstract Three patients with different neurological complaints were studied by magnetic resonance imaging. Coincidentally, all studies showed cystic changes within the pineal bodies. These cysts appeared hypointense on T1-weighted, spin-echo pulse sequences and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Spin-density sequences displayed them as hypointense areas, with relaxation times similar to those of the CSF, suggesting their cystic nature. The increased use of magnetic resonance imaging may result in coincidental imaging of involutional cystic pineal changes of many individuals; their characteristic appearance will allow the differentiation between them and pineal neoplastic conditions.

To obtain a fast MRI sequence for detection of liver metastases under suspended respiration, two healthy volunteers were examined with the field echo sequence FLASH, using a large number of repetition times, echo times, flip angles and matrix sizes. The spleen was used to simulate liver metastases and contrast-to-noise ratios between liver and spleen were calculated and the sequence with the highest ratio was considered optimal. The different FLASH sequences were also compared with spin echo sequences using short repetition and echo times. A FLASH sequence with a repetition time of 140 ms, an echo time of 14 ms, a flip angle of 80 to 100 degrees and a matrix size of 128×256 was considered the most suitable for detecting liver metastases. This sequence, together with other FLASH and spin echo sequences, were used for examination of five patients with liver metastases from endocrine gastrointestinal tumours.
