    Notes: The theoretical kinetics are analyzed for reactions between torsionally stressed DNA and another compound which reacts at different rates with portions of the substrate molecule which are in different conformational states. These reactions are assumed to obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics, so no cooperative effects occur. The DNA is regarded as being susceptible to a stress-induced local conformational transition as described recently by Benham. Briefly, alterations in torsional stress consequent on superhelicity effectively change the relative concentrations of the two conformational states of the substrate, thereby influencing the course of the reaction. This theory is developed for transition between the B-form helix and the single-stranded, random-coil states. To illustrate the influence of posited stress-induced melting on kinetics, calculations are made on simple models of two biochemical phenomena. First, the variations in initial nicking rates of single-strand-specific endonucleases with substrate superhelicity are interpreted as arising from changes in the concentration of (stress-induced) single-stranded binding sites. Second, the observed dependence of the transcription rate of RNA polymerase core enzyme on substrate superhelicity is interpreted in terms of a model in which the rate-limiting step in the initiation event is the formation of a complex between the enzyme and a single-stranded region. Related experimental results are shown to be qualitatively consistent with the suggestion that sufficiently supercoiled DNA contains locally melted regions.

    Notes: This paper analyzes the elastic equilibrium conformations of duplex DNA constrained by the constancy of its molecular linking number, Lk. The DNA is regarded as having the mechanical properties of a homogeneous, linearly elastic substance with symmetric cross section. Integral representations of the writhing number Wr and of Lk are developed, in terms of which the equilibria are given as solutions to an isoperimetric problem. It is shown that the Euler angles defining equilibrium conformations must obey equations identical to those governing unconstrained equilibria. A scaling law is developed stating that molecules supercoiled the same amount ΔLk will have geometrically similar elastic equilibria regardless of their length. Thus, comparisons among molecules of properties related to their large-scale tertiary structure should be referred to differences in ΔLk rather than to their superhelix densities. Specific conditions on the elastic equilibrium conformations are developed that are necessary for ring closure. The equilibrium superhelical conformations accessible to closed-ring molecules are shown to approximate toroidal helices. Questions relating to the stability and nonuniqueness of equilibria are treated briefly. A comparison is made between these toroidal conformations and interwound configurations, which are shown to be stable, although they are not equilibria in the present sense. It is suggested that entropic factors are responsible for favouring the toroidal conformation in solution.

    Notes: Two pairs of enantiomerically pure cis-fused cyclopenteno-1,2,4-trioxanes (7, ent-7 and 8, ent-8) are prepared (Schemes 1-3). Their identities are established by dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of ent-7 and 8, ent-8 to the allylichydroperxides, reduction to the corresponding alcohols, and conversion to the (1S)-camphanates (Scheme 4), the structures of which are determined by X-ray analysis. The dynamic properties of ent-7 are investigated by NMR spectroscopy and PM3 calculations. Evidence for an easily accessible twist-boat conformation is obtained. The in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activities of 7, ent-7,8, and ent-8 as well as those of the racemic mixtures are evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum, P. berghei, and P. yoelii. No correlation is observed between configuration and activity. Racemates and pure enantiomers have commensurate activities. The mode of action on the intraerythrocytic parasite is rationalized in terms of close docking by the twist-boat conformer of the trioxane on the surface of a molecule of heme, single-electron transfer to the O—O σ* orbital, and scission to the acetal radical which then irreversibly isomerizes to a C-centered radical, the ultimate lethal agent (Scheme 5).

    Notes: Living ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone initiated from the numerous chain-end hydroxymethyl groups of the analogous dendrimeric and hyperbranched polyesters derived from 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid is described. By controlling the size of the dendritic macromolecule and the molar ratio of ε-caprolactone, a variety of highly branched radial block copolymers are obtained. Comparison of the results obtained for the dendrimeric and hyperbranched initiators demonstrates that the reactivity of the chain-end hydroxymethyl groups in the dendrimer are significantly greater than in the isomeric hyperbranched case. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of monomer structure and catalyst on the synthesis of hyperbranched polyesters based on 4,4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic acid has been examined. The nature of the ester group and the catalyst have a significant effect on the molecular weight of the hyperbranched polyester but do not effect the degree of branching for these materials. The fate of the single ester group at the focal point of these hyperbranched macromolecules is probed by the synthesis and polymerization of 13C labeled methyl 4,4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)pentanoate. Comparison of the molecular weights determined by 1H- or 13C-NMR spectra with those determined by osmometry suggest that intramolecular cyclization does not occur to a significant extent in these systems. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Circular dichroism (CD) spectra were determined for the bioactive (+)-enantiomers of 1 · HCl, 3 · HCl, and 4 · HBr to characterize the chiroptical properties of these pyrroloisoquinoline antidepressants. The compounds showed a low-intensity negative CD band with much fine structure between 252 and 272 nm, a medium negative CD band with fine structure between 215 and 225 nm, and a high-intensity negative CD maximum between 198 and 203 nm. Except for amplitude variation, the three CD spectra were essentially superimposable in sign and position of the bands. The CD curves for the (-)-enantiomers of 1 · HCl and 4 · HBr were opposite in sign and comparable within 5% to the (+)-enantiomers. The results are consistent with the previously assigned (Maryanoff et al. J. Med. Chem. 30:1433-1454, 1987) absolute configurations of (6S, 10bR) for 1 and 3, and (6R, 10bR) for 4.

    Notes: This paper analyzes equilibrium superhelical cruciform formation in a topologial domain of DNA containing inverted repeat sequences. The cruciform conformation is shown to be stable when the molecule is sufficiently negatively supercoiled but not when it is positively supercoiled. For a particular sequence containing a single inverted repeat, onset of stability occurs at a degree of negative superhelicity that depends critically on the number of base pairs separating the repeat copies. The free energy associated with the stable cruciform state is constant, independent of the degree of superhelicity, up to the point where the complete inverted repeat participates in the cruciform. In contrast, the free energy of the alternative, unextruded state grows approximately quadratically with the superhelical deformation. Therefore, a degree of negative supercoiling occurs at which the cruciform state becomes energetically favored. The equilibrium properties of this cruciform extrusion transition vary with segment length, the positions and sizes of the inverted repeats involved, environmental conditions, and the degree of superhelicity imposed. In a segment containing multiple repeats, both tandem and inverted, of one or more sequences, the pattern of cruciforms that form is dependent on superhelicity in a complex way. Specific cruciforms may occur at equilibrium only in narrow ranges of superhelicity, their reabsorption being coupled to the extrusion of others.
