    Notes: Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy (RET) has been used to determine the dipole-bound electron affinity of the indole molecule, and the value of 3 meV was obtained. RET has also been employed to study [indole–(water)N]− cluster anions and the results have been interpreted with the help of ab initio calculations. It has been shown that for N=1 and 2 only dipole-bound anions are formed and that the electron attachment induces large amplitude motions in these systems. [Indole–(water)N]− anions with N=3 and 4 have not been observed. This finding for N=3 is consistent with a low theoretically predicted dipole moment of the neutral indole–(water)3 complex, which is insufficient for the formation of a stable dipole-bound anion. Above N=5, RET experiments showed formation of valence [indole–(water)N]− anions. From the observed size threshold for the formation of these anions, the negative value of the valence electron affinity of indole equal to −1.03±0.05 meV was deduced. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of N-methylation on the dipole-bound electron affinities of pyrimidine nucleic acid bases, uracil and thymine, has been investigated theoretically using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, and experimentally using Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy. Both experiment and theory are consistent in showing that replacement of hydrogen atoms by methyl groups reduces electron affinities corresponding to formation of dipole-bound anions of these systems. Also, the distortion of the anion geometries with respect to the geometries of the neutral parents are reduced with the methylation. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of methylation upon adiabatic electron affinities of formamide (F), N- methylformamide (NMF), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is experimentally investigated by means of Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy and calculated with the use of high-level ab initio methods. In the anions of these systems the excess electrons are captured in diffuse dipole-bound states. The methylation of formamide results in a slight increase of the dipole moment and in an increased molecular size. The two factors have opposite effects on the electron affinity. Both experimental data and theoretical results are in agreement, showing that the molecular size effect dominates and that the electron affinity noticeably decreases with the methylation. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The coupling between the dipole bound and valence electronic states of the nitromethane anion has been investigated via Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy and field detachment spectroscopy of the bare and argon-solvated anions. The unique aspects of the nitromethane system are highlighted by comparing the solvation behavior of nitromethane anion with that of acetonitrile, a system in which the dipole bound state is well-isolated from the resonance arising from excess electron occupation of its high lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract. Given q as the global frequency of the alleles causing a disease, any allele with a frequency higher than q minus the cumulative frequency of the previously known disease-causing mutations (threshold) cannot be the cause of that disease. This principle was applied to the analysis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations in order to decide whether they are the cause of cystic fibrosis. A total of 191 DNA samples from random individuals from Italy, France, and Spain were investigated by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) analysis of all the coding and proximal non-coding regions of the gene. The mutations detected by DGGE were identified by sequencing. The sample size was sufficient to select essentially all mutations with a frequency of at least 0.01. A total of 46 mutations was detected, 20 of which were missense mutations. Four new mutations were identified: 1341+28 C/T, 2082 C/T, L1096R, and I1131V. Thirteen mutations (125 G/C, 875+40 A/G, TTGAn, IVS8–6 5T, IVS8–6 9T, 1525–61 A/G, M470V, 2694 T/G, 3061–65 C/A, 4002 A/G, 4521 G/A, IVS8 TG10, IVS8 TG12) were classified as non-CF-causing alleles on the basis of their frequency. The remaining mutations have a cumulative frequency far exceeding q; therefore, most of them cannot be CF-causing mutations. This is the first random survey capable of detecting all the polymorphisms of the coding sequence of a gene.

    Description: Physiological evidence suggests that birth weight (BW) and postnatal growth affect blood pressure (BP) level, independently or in interaction. Their respective roles are difficult to disentangle in epidemiological studies, however, especially when adjusting for final weight. We assessed the portion of the effect of BW on BP at 5 years that was not attributable to postnatal growth and investigated potential interactions between BW and postnatal growth velocity at different time points in the EDEN mother–child study. Collecting a median of 19 weight measurements for each of the 1119 children who completed follow-up enabled us to model instantaneous growth velocity at any age. After computing a BP SD-score at 5 years, adjusted for age, sex, current body mass index, and height, we used multiple linear regression to study its association with age- and sex-specific BW z score, adjusting for several maternal and pregnancy risk factors. We tested interactions between BW categories (small-, appropriate-, and large-for-gestational-age) and weight growth velocities at different ages. The BW z score was negatively and significantly correlated with the systolic BP SD-score at the age of 5 years ( r =–0.07, P =0.02). Interactions were found between BW categories and weight growth velocities from 1 to 4 months ( P from 0.002 to 0.08) but not at older ages; specifically, children born small for gestational age with a fast weight growth velocity in their first few months of life had the highest absolute systolic BP and SD score values at 5 years. They may need monitoring for cardiovascular risks.
