Low resolution crystal structures of Taka-amylase A and its complexes with inhibitors.

The molecular structure of Taka-amylase A, an alpha-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae, has been studied at 6 A resolution by X-ray diffraction analysis. The electron density map showed a non-crystallographic three-fold screw arrangement of the molecules in the crystal. The molecule is an ellipsoid with approximate dimensions of 80 x 45 x 35 A and contains a hollow which may correspond to the active center. The inhibitor molecules bind to Taka-amylase A at four different sites, one of which is located in the hollow of the enzyme. The probable position of a thiol group is discussed in connection with heavy atom binding.

[Determination of radioactive and stable cobalt in marine biological materials (author's transl)].

Studies were made to develop the method for rapid determination of radioactive and stable cobalt in a single specimen of marine biological materials. The sample was dried, ashed, and dissolved in acid. The cobalt was extracted with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol benzene and determined by absorptiometry on the benzene phase. Then, the organic solution was evaporated to dryness, and the residue was treated with nitric-perchloric acid mixture to decompose any organic matter, and taken up with hydrochloric acid. The cobolt was extracted from the solution with TIO A-toluene, and the radioactive cobalt was determined by liquid scintillation counting on the toluene phase. Examinations were made on the chemical yield and on the decontamination factor of the fission product nuclides. Analysis were made on the marine biological samples of Urazoko Bay, Fukui prefecture. Agreement of the radioactive cobalt data between that by the present method and that by Ge(Li) gamma ray spectometry was good. Also, the stable cobalt value by the present method agreed well with that by neutron activation analysis method.

Crystallographic data for cytochrome c3 from two strains of Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Miyazaki.

Two crystalline forms of cytochrome c3 isolated from two strains of Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Miyazaki, tentatively designated as D. vulgaris, Miyazki F and D. vulgaris, Miyazaki K, have been found. Both belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), but have different cell dimensions; a=54.1, b=68.9 and c=35.0 A for D. vulgaris, Miyazaki F, and a=43.5, b=41.2, and c=62.9 A for D. vulgaris, Miyazaki K. The asymmetric unit of each crystal contains one molecule of cytochrome c3.
