Abstract

Phenylbutazone has been associated with bioavailability problems and has shown nonclassical behavior in phase-transport studies. This nonclassical behavior has been attributed, in part, to the fact that phenylbutazone, as a carbon acid, undergoes noninstantaneous ionization kinetics. Instantaneous reaction is an assumption made in many diffusion-limited transport models involving a simultaneous ionization reaction. The ionization kinetics of phenylbutazone were determined at an ionic strength of 0.1 and 25 degrees using a stopped-flow spectrophotometer. A log kobs versus pH profile for the approach to the ionization equilibrium was determined, and a mechanism consistent with the profile was postulated. The percent enol versus the diketo form of phenylbutazone acid as well as pKaenol and pKadiketo was kinetically calculated. The protonation reaction was highly catalyzed by general acids while the deprotonation reaction was highly catalyzed by general bases. The general acid, water, was a poor proton donor to the anionic form (the so-called mesomericanion) of phenylbutazone.

Determination of divalent trace metals in natural waters by preconcentration on N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-aminoethyl)ethylenediamine-silica followed by on-line ion chromatography.

A method for the on-line preconcentration and chromatography of trace metals, e.g., Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb, on N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-aminoethyl)ethylenediamine-bonded silica is described. The preconcentrated metals were desorbed with 0.13 M tartrate, which allows direct separation on a cation-exchange chromatographic column. The metals separated were detected by postcolumn reaction with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and measuring the absorbances at 500 nm. Linear calibration graphs were obtained over the range 1.10(-8)-3.10(-6) M. The synthesis and characteristics of the chelated silica are described. The method was applied to the analysis of river and interstitial sediment waters.

A reexamination of the stopped-flow measured hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates in nucleic acid double helices.

Using the deuteration labelling method in conjunction with an improved stopped-flow instrument, we have reexamined the proton exchange process in poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT). A single proton exchange class is found with a rate constant at 20 degrees C of 0.4 S-1. This exchange rate is independent of buffer concentration. From the comparison of these results with those obtained in a former study where two rates were measured, it is concluded that the present deuteration signal corresponds to the exchange of the amino protons, whereas the imino proton exchange is not detected.

Inhibition of tyrosine Z photooxidation after formation of the S3 state in Ca(2+)-depleted and Cl(-)-depleted photosystem II.

Ca2+ and Cl- are obligatory cofactors in photosystem II (PS-II), the oxygen-evolving enzyme of plants. The sites of inhibition in both Ca(2+)- and Cl(-)-depleted PS-II were compared using EPR and flash absorption spectroscopies to follow the extent of the photooxidation of the redox-active tyrosine (TyrZ) and of the primary electron donor chlorophyll (P680) and their subsequent reduction in the dark. The inhibition occurred after formation of the S3 state in Ca(2+)-depleted PS-II. In Cl(-)-depleted photosystem II, the inhibition occurred after formation of the S3 state in about half of the centers and probably after S2TyrZ+ formation in the remaining centers. After the S3 state was formed in Ca(2+)- and Cl(-)-depleted photosystem II, electron transfer from TyrZ to P680 was inhibited. This inhibition is discussed in terms of electrostatic constraints resulting from S3 formation in the absence of Ca2+ and Cl-.
