Abstract

A defined medium (medium MB) for Moraxella bovis was formulated. Nineteen strains grew well on medium MB. One strain was auxotrophic for asparagine, and another was auxotrophic for methionine. Strains of M. equi and M. lacunata also grew on medium MB. All strains had an absolute requirement for thiamine and were stimulated by or actually required the other growth factors in the medium.

Chimeric structural isomer fragments as cost-efficient internal standards for amino acid quantification by mass spectrometry.

Amino acid (AA) profiles from body fluids such as blood and urine are clinical indicators for diagnosing metabolic and hepatic diseases. Current quantitative methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with isotopically labelled internal standards (ISs), are costly and technically demanding. This study proposes a cost-efficient alternative using structural isomers as ISs in a direct liquid infusion (DLI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) approach. The method leverages chimeric spectra and fragment intensity ratios to quantify AAs, demonstrating high linearity and precision even with a 3D ion trap mass analyser. This approach offers a viable strategy for AA quantification in preventive medicine, particularly for screening metabolic diseases such as phenylketonuria, diabetes, and liver dysfunction.

Element composition and biochemical components of Dirofilaria immitis.

Element composition of whole canine heartworms (Dirofilaria immitis) was determined using inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy. The elements evaluated included Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Al, B, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Sr, Zn, As, and Pb. The only significant sex difference was calcium concentration which was higher in females. Amino acid analyses of body fluid revealed presence of nine essential and eight non-essential amino acids. Concentrations for male and female heartworms were not significantly different. The spectrum of amino acids was similar to that previously reported for canine plasma. Neurotransmitters or their metabolites detected in whole male and female heartworms using HPLC with electrochemical detector were epinephrine, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, dopamine, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. Those not detected were norepinephrine, homovanillic acid, and 5-hydroxytryptamine.

Thermodynamics of the helix-coil transition: Binding of S15 and a hybrid sequence, disulfide stabilized peptide to the S-protein.

Pancreatic ribonuclease A may be cleaved to produce two fragments: the S-peptide (residues 1-20) and the S-protein (residues 21-124). The S-peptide, or a truncated version designated as the S15 peptide (residues 1-15), combines with the S-protein to produce catalytically active complexes. The conformation of these peptides and many of their analogues is predominantly random coil at room temperature; however, they populate a significant fraction of helical form at low temperature under certain solution conditions. Moreover, they adopt a helical conformation when bound to the S-protein. A hybrid sequence, disulfide-stabilized peptide (ApaS-25), designed to stabilize the helical structure of the S-peptide in solution, also combines with the S-protein to yield a catalytically active complex. We have performed high-precision titration microcalorimetric measurements to determine the free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity changes for the binding of ApaS-25 to S-protein within the temperature range 5-25 degrees C. The thermodynamic parameters for both the complex formation reactions and the helix-to-coil transition also were calculated, using a structure-based approach, by calculating changes in accessible surface area and using published empirical parameters. A simple thermodynamic model is presented in an attempt to account for the differences between the binding of ApaS-25 and the S-peptide. From this model, the thermodynamic parameters of the helix-to-coil transition of S15 can be calculated.
