Conserved amino acid residues of riboflavin synthase from Escherichia coli were modified by site-directed mutagenesis. Replacement or deletion of phenylalanine 2 afforded catalytically inactive proteins. S41A and H102Q mutants had substantially reduced reaction velocities. Replacements of various other conserved polar…

The effects of hydrostatic pressure on conjugated polymers, in particular polyphenyls (see Figure for monomer unit) have been studied using photoluminescence, absorption, photo-induced absorption, and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of pressure on the singlet and triplet excitons and polarons allows an understanding of…

Abstract The Kübler Index (KI) is defined as the full width at half-maximum height (FWHM) of the 10-Å X-ray diffraction peak of illite-smectite interstratified (I-S) clay minerals. The only parameters controlling the Kübler Index are assumed to be the mean number of layers (N) in the coherent scattering domains (CSD),…

An algorithm for solving the Maxwell equations for propagation of light through anisotropic stratified media is considered. The algorithm uses the Berreman matrices of order 4 × 4. In contrast to the numerical methods suggested by Berreman, the new method is exact. The Sylvester theorem for calculating functions of a…

The ultrasound (363 kHz) induced decomposition of a commercially available polydisperse nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactant (Teric GN9) has been investigated. The initial rate of decomposition was found to be a function of the monomer concentration of the surfactant below and above the critical micelle concentration. Ba…
