Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PBH) was recently shown to be produced in genetically engineered plants which expressed the genes from Alcaligenes eutrophus responsible for the formation of PHB from acetoacetyl-CoA. The transgenic plants accumulated PHB as granules which were similar in size and appearance to the bacterial PH…

In order to study the in vivo digestion of immobilized collagen and gelatin, these proteins labeled with 125I or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) were covalently immobilized onto silicone surfaces, which were grafted with acrylic acid to introduce carboxyl groups, and implanted subcutaneously in rats and mice. When t…

We have determined the amino acid sequence of the alpha chain of a fibril-forming collagen from the body wall of the marine invertebrate Riftia pachyptila (vestimentifera) by Edman degradation. The pepsin-solubilized collagen chain consists of a 1011-residue triple-helical domain and short remnants of N- and C-telopep…

Resonant photoemission measurements have been performed on well characterized, stoichiometric (1012) surfaces of single-crystal Cr2O3 using synchrotron radiation. A strong resonant enhancement of the highest-lying valence-band states is observed across the Cr 3p → 3d excitation threshold. In light of the similarity of…

X-ray reflectivity, widths, centroid shifts and profiles for curved perfect crystals are calculated from a model. The crystal is approximated by a stack of perfect-crystal lamellae or blocks with a gradually changing (mean) orientation. A computer program has been developed to calculate the above quantities in the Joh…

Abstract Experimental alteration of volcanic glass has been carried out in distilled water at 200°C and 150°C. The formation and transformation processes of alteration products have been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared abs…

We develop a phenomenological theory of the dynamic viscosity of colloidal suspensions, based on an extrapolation of the low-frequency behavior by use of a continued-fraction representation. In lowest approximation the dynamic viscosity depends on a small number of parameters, which may be determined experimentally. F…

An aluminum (Al) target was laser ablated in a nitrogen (N 2 ) atmosphere, producing aluminum nitride (AlN) powder. These powders were calcined at 900°C for 2 h. Powders were produced at various nitrogen pressures, and the calcined powders were tested for unreacted aluminum content, using differential thermal analysis…

β-Poly-l-malate (PMA) is a highly soluble polyanion specifically synthesized during the plasmodial stage of the life cycle in Physarum polycephalum. The polymer partitions in a growth-dependent fashion between cell nuclei, the cytoplasm and the culture medium, where it is slowly hydrolyzed. It strongly interacts with…

The photochemical bleaching of vertebrate rhodopsin results in the cis to trans isomerization of the 11-cis-retinal protonated Schiff base. Hydrolysis of the Schiff base leads to the formation of opsin and all-trans-retinal. In order for vision to proceed, the enzymatic trans to cis isomerization of a retinoid must oc…

Abstract The plasma copolymerization of ethylene (ET) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) was investigated by means of IR and XPS analyses. The deposition rates for plasma ET/TFE copolymers, when plotted versus mol % TFE in the feed gas, gave a concave‐downward curve situated above the straight‐line joining the deposition r…
