Abstract

Within the pH range 2.5-6.5 tungstic acid (an isopolyacid) prevents the reduction of silver ions by ascorbic or hydroquinone more effectively than either gum acacia or other protective colloids. The colloid state of tungstic acid can be stabilized with nonionic detergents, especially with Triton X-100. For buffering the system a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate is optimal. Physical developers constituted on the basis of these observations are, in contrast to those commonly used in histology, light insensitive, and remain clear for about 30 min at room temperature, 2-5 times as long as the time required for development.

Conversion in the peptides coating cadmium:sulfide crystallites in Candida glabrata.

Cultures of Candida glabrata treated with CdCl2 form intracellular Cd(II) complexes that evolve with the time of culturing. Initially, glutathione (gamma ECG) appears to be the major buffering component. One type of Cd(II)-glutathione complex exists as a cadmium:sulfide (CdS) crystallite coated with glutathione. A time dependent change in the coating of the CdS particles occurs with a decrease in the (gamma ECG) content and a corresponding increase in the abundance of (gamma EC)nG peptides with (gamma EC)2G becoming the predominant peptide. The des-Gly variant (gamma EC)2 appears in significant concentration only in late cultures. The evolution in isopeptide coating appears to be dependent on the sulfide content of the CdS particles. Cellular conditions that enhance the generation of sulfide ions facilitate the conversion from gamma ECG to (gamma EC)2G.

Chiral separation of nipecotic acid amides.

1-Decyl-3-(N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)piperidine (1) and alpha,alpha'-bis[3-(N-benzyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)piperidinol]-p-xyle ne (2) represent mono-N-substituted and bis-N-substituted carbamoylpiperidines, or nipecotic acid amides, respectively. Initially, several attempts were made to resolve these compounds using beta-cyclodextrin, cellulose carbamate and Pirkle-type columns. However, the interactions of the stereoisomers of the two compounds with these stationary phases did not differ enough to permit satisfactory separations. Baseline resolution was achieved using an alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) chiral column. The mobile phase was phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Tetrabutylammonium (TBA) was used as the cationic modifier and ethanol as the uncharged modifier. Circular dichroism was used to identify the enantiomers. Compound 1 was resolved into positive and negative enantiomers and 2 into positive and negative enantiomers and a meso diastereomer. The influence of pH, buffer ionic strength, cationic and uncharged modifier concentrations on retention, chiral selectivity and resolution were evaluated. Based on the results, it is suggested that both ionic and hydrophobic interactions may be responsible for retention and resolution.

Influence of pH on the migration properties of oligonucleotides in capillary gel electrophoresis.

The effect of pH on the electrophoretic migration properties of single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides in capillary gel electrophoresis was investigated. Different homooligodeoxyribonucleotides of equal chain length showed significant differences in relative migration when the pH of the gel buffer was varied from pH 6 to 8, parallel with the running buffer. A similar variation in migration order was observed during the electrophoretic equilibration of a pH 8 gel-filled capillary column with a pH 6 running buffer. In the latter instance, the current reached the new level after 20 min of electrophoretic equilibration with the pH 6 running buffer. However, it was observed that the migration order characteristic of the pH 6 gel was achieved only after 4 h of electrophoretic equilibration. To avoid this time-consuming equilibration process, these results suggest that gel-filled capillary columns should be prepared with the same buffer (composition and pH) that will be used as the running buffer during the separations.
