    Notes: Fluorescence of fac-AlQ3 (Q=8-quinolinolato), mer-AlQ3, mer-Al(mQ)3 (mQ=4-methyl-8-quinolinolato), and BeQ2 were investigated with electronic structure calculations. The molecular structure of the first singlet excited state (the emission state) was optimized with the ab initio "configuration interaction with single excitations" (CIS) method. Ab initio CIS and semiempirical "Zerner's intermediate neglect of differential overlap" (ZINDO) methods were used to calculate the emission energies (ΔE) and also the corresponding absorption energies. Although the ab initio CIS method overestimated the experimental value of ΔE by 1.09–1.16 eV, the ZINDO method reproduced it to a reasonable accuracy (within 0.26 eV). The optimized excited-state structure has an interesting feature in that one of the equivalent ligands distorts appreciably, while the thers keep their ground-state structures. As a result the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) are localized on the distorted ligand. Since the excited state is characterized as the HOMO–LUMO transition, the emission from AlQ3 (and its analogues) directly reflects that of the ligand. In order to analyze this intrigung excited-state structure, exciton transfer theory was applied, where the exciton coupling between ligands and the structural relaxation of the ligand upon excitation were taken into account. By examining these two factors for BeQ2, it is shown that the exciton localization results from weak exciton coupling and/or large structural relaxation energy. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Substituent dependence of a fluorescence energy of the 8-quinolinolato anion (Q−) was systematically investigated with electronic structure calculations. Large red- and blueshifts of the fluorescence were predicted for Q− with the NO2 and CN groups, respectively. For bis(8-quinolinolato)berylium with the NO2 and CN groups, the emission energies were calculated to be 1.56 eV (795 nm) and 2.66 eV (466 nm), respectively, indicating that they are potential candidates as red- and blue-light-emitting compounds. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: cDNAs expressed preferentially in an Al-tolerant microorganism were isolated by subtraction hybridization with cDNAs of Al-sensitive Penicillium chrysogenum IFO4626 as driver cDNA and cDNAs of the Al-tolerant mutant derived from the wild cells by UV irradiation as tester cDNA. Northern blot analysis revealed that mRNA levels of six genes were increased significantly in the Al-tolerant mutant after exposure to Al stress when compared with the wild cells. Two genes accumulated in both the presence and absence of Al stress and four genes were induced by Al stress in the Al-tolerant mutant. cDNA fragments were amplified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends and sequenced to obtain full-length cDNAs of the six genes. Two genes were novel or predicted ones and the others showed significant homology to known genes, ADP/ATP translocase, enolase, cysteine synthase, and glucoamylase, which are induced by environmental stresses in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These enzyme activities increased in the Al-tolerant mutant when compared to those in the wild cells, showing that not only the levels of gene expression but also the levels of enzyme activities increased in the Al-tolerant mutant.

    Notes: The use of augmented basis sets of the form, {χ, rtχ, rtruχ, ...} (rt, ru=x, y, z), is proposed for calculating magnetic properties which are almost gauge-origin independent. It is derived from Epstein's theorem which states the sufficient condition for unitary invariance. Test calculations using the coupled-Hartree–Fock/finite perturbation method show that the augmented sets correctly reduce the origin dependence of magnetic shielding constants, and that the results agree well with the experiment. Through systematic modifications of the basis set, a practical procedure in choosing basis functions to be added is suggested. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Various soil samples were collected to screen the presence of microorganisms which have ability to degrade TOE. One strain (AKU-883) with good TOE degrading activity was isolated and identified as Burkholderia cepacia and the extracellular enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The purification was achieved by ultrafiltration, Super Q anion-exchange chromatography and Superdex 200HR gel-filtration in the presence of Triton X. The enzyme was purified to 85-fold, and specific activity of 4.910 kU mg protein−1. The peak preparation on gel filtration showed a single band of 34 kDa on SDS-PAGE and native PAGE which indicate the monomeric nature of the enzyme. The pI of the enzyme was 6.3. The enzyme showed the maximum activity at pH 9 and 65°C, and was stable in the range of pH 5–10 and up to 60°C. Almost all the activity (92%) was kept after incubation for more than 1 week at 50°C (pH 7.3). High activities remained even in water-miscible solvents such as ethanol, dimethyl formamide, diisopropyl ether, and dioxane. The N-terminal 16 amino acid residues were determined as A-N-G-Y-A-A-T-R-Y-P-I-I-L-V-G-G, which showed a consensus sequence for lipases from Burkholderia species. Thus the enzyme was concluded to be a kind of lipase.

    Notes: Acid- and aluminum (Al)-tolerant microorganisms were isolated from tea fields, from which six strains were selected and identified as Cryptococcus humicola, Rhodotorula glutinis, Aspergillus flavus Link, Penicillium sp., Penicillium janthinellum Biourge and Trichoderma asperellum. They were tolerant to Al up to 100–200 mM and could grow at low pH, 2.5–2.2. In a glucose medium (pH 3.5) the pH of the spent medium decreased to below 3.0. The toxic inorganic monomeric Al in the spent medium decreased with three strains (A. flavus F-6b, Penicillium sp. F-8b and P. janthinellum F-13), but the total Al remained constant for all strains. In a soil extract medium (pH 3.5), the pH of the spent medium of all strains increased to around 6.0–7.2 and total Al in the spent medium was removed by precipitation due to pH increase. Thus, different tolerance mechanisms were suggested in glucose and soil extract media.

    Notes: Abstract A group of rat monoclonal antibodies recognizing the six different α chains of human type IV collagen have been established by our novel method. The method is designated the rat lymph node method in which enlarged medial iliac lymph nodes of a rat injected with an antigen emulsion via hind footpads are used as a source of B cells for cell fusion to produce hybridomas. The immunogens used were synthetic peptides having non-consensus amino acid sequences near the carboxyl termini of type IV collagen α chains. Hybridomas were screened both by ELISA with synthetic peptides and by indirect immunofluorescence with cryostat sections of human kidneys. Because the epitopes of all antibodies were determined by multipin-peptide scanning, they were confirmed to be isoform-specific. They are useful for identification of α chains of type IV collagen at the protein level in normal and abnormal conditions. The combined use of synthetic peptides as immunogens, the rat lymph node method as making monoclonal antibodies, and the multipin-peptide scanning as epitope mapping is found to be a strong tool for identification of peptides and proteins whose amino acid sequences are known or have been deduced.

    Notes: Abstract. Acetylene insertion into Pt(II)–H and Pt(II)SiH3 bonds of PtH(SiH3)(PH3) was investigated using ab initio molecular orbital and Møller-Plesset perturbation theory methods. The insertion into PtH was predicted to proceed with a smaller activation energy (E a =12.8 kcal/mol) than that into PtSiH3 (E a =20.9 kcal/mol). The reaction energy (ΔE) of the insertion into PtH is 10 kcal/mol smaller than that for the insertion into PtSiH3, which reflects differences in bond energies between CH and CSi and between PtH and PtSiH3. A comparison with ethylene insertion revealed that the acetylene insertion occurs more easily, and the latter reaction is more exothermic. A simple vibronic coupling model combined with Toyozawa's interaction mode analysis was used to examine interesting differences in E a and ΔE between insertions into PtH and PtSiH3, and between acetylene and ethylene insertions. This analysis suggests that the factors determining E a are the stiffness of the PtH and PtSiH3 bonds and the vibronic coupling strength of acetylene and ethylene.
