Magic Lite design and development.

Chemiluminescence immunoassays have now achieved a recognized place in the diagnostic laboratory. The advantages of this non-isotopic technology derive from the use of acridinium esters which can be used to label antigens and antibodies to high specific activities, as well as from optimized immunochemistry. The availability of simple, reliable instrumentation for chemiluminescence measurement together with a range of assay kits offers a logical alternative to traditional radioimmunoassay.

Two-dimensional magic angle spinning NMR investigation of naturally occurring chitins: precise 1H and 13C resonance assignment of alpha- and beta-chitin.

13C homonuclear through-bond correlations of alpha- and beta-chitin were determined by using two-dimensional (2D) INADEQUATE spectra of these allomorphs purified from crab shell and squid pen, respectively. The 2D (13)C-(13)C correlation spectra where two directly bonded carbons share a common double-quantum frequency (DQ) enabled us to precisely assign all (13)C resonances of the chitin allomorphs for the first time. Following the complete (13)C assignment, (1)H chemical shifts of protons attached to each carbon nuclei were assigned by 2D frequency-switched Lee-Goldberg (FSLG) (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) spectra of the chitin allomorphs, recorded with a short mixing time (60 micros) to provide isotropic (1)H-(13)C chemical shift correlations between bonded pairs proton and carbon nuclei. From the (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts of chitin allomorphs, all 2-deoxy-2-acetamide-D-glucose (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) monomer units in each allomorph were revealed to be an identical (13)C-(13)C backbone conformation and magnetically equivalent. In addition, it was strongly suggested that there are two different hydrogen-bonding patterns at the hydroxyl groups of alpha-chitin by comparing (1)H chemical shifts at the C6 site of alpha-chitin with those at the same site of beta-chitin.

Polarization-transfer methods in solid-state magic-angle-spinning NMR: adiabatic CN pulse sequences.

An adiabatic double-quantum polarization-transfer experiment is described. It can be characterized as an adiabatic variant of the POST-C7 experiment. A continuous variation of the phase increment between pulses leads to the introduction of a fictitious Zeeman field that allows for an adiabatic passage through the recoupling condition. This results in a chemical-shift-offset-compensated adiabatic experiment, which leads to an efficient and broadbanded polarization transfer or to a double-quantum excitation. Similar variations of other C- or R-type experiments can be envisioned.

Molecular mechanisms of TSD in reptiles: a search for the magic bullet.

Significant progress has been made in understanding mechanisms of genetic sex determination. The ZFY gene encodes a zinc finger protein but is not the primary signal in sex determination. The SRY gene is the testis determining gene in man, mouse, rabbit, and probably marsupial mouse and wallaby. Temperature dependent sex determination probably involves a modification of development of the indifferent gonad due to differential expression of one or more specific DNA sequences whose behavior is controlled by some temperature sensitive process or to differential action of a gene product such as a protein. There are ZFY and SRY-like genes in reptiles. We cloned and sequenced a portion of the ZFY gene (Zft) from snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) that is found in both sexes. We cloned and sequenced portions of SRY-like genes (Sra for SRY-related-autosomal) from snapping turtle. Similar genes are found in alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and lizards. Cladistic analysis suggests that there are two or three major families of SRY-like genes in vertebrates in addition to sex specific SRY genes located on the Y chromosome of eutherian and marsupial mammals. When placed on a phylogenetic tree these data indicate that Sras were present in early tetrapods. Sequestering of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome probably happened only once and this may have been the defining moment that set the mammalian line of Therapsid reptiles apart from other reptilian groups.
