Membrane reactions

Prokaryotic cells have only a single membrane, the plasma membrane or cell membrane. Because they have no other membranes, prokaryotic cells contain no nucleus or organelles. Nevertheless, they possess a distinct nuclear area where a single circular chromosome is localized, and some have an internal membranous structure called a mesosome that is derived from and continuous with the cell membrane. Reactions of cellular respiration are localized on these membranes. In photosynthetic prokaryotes such as the cyanobacteria,... 

The solution pH affects the function of all ISEs, either through interference of hydroxonium or hydroxide ions in the membrane reaction (for example the interference of OH" with the function of fluoride ISEs at pH values greater than about 5.5), or through chemical interference in solution (for example, formation of poorly dissociated HF and HF in acid solutions, which are not sensed by a fluoride ISE or formation of HS and H2S with decreasing pH, which are not sensed by a sulphide ISE), or both. Moreover, the pH value can affect the equiUbria of interferents in the solution. The pH must thus be adjusted with all these effects in mind. Fortunately, it is usually sufficient to maintain the pH within a certain region rather than at a single precise value.

Heavy-atom derivation of an object as large as a ribosomal particle requires the use of extremely dense and ultraheavy compounds. Examples of such compounds are a) tetrakis(acetoxy-mercuri)methane (TAMM) which was the key heavy atom derivative in the structure determination of nucleosomes and the membrane reaction center and b) an undecagold cluster in which the gold core has a diameter of 8.2 A (Fig. 14 and in and ). Several variations of this cluster, modified with different ligands, have been prepared The cluster compounds, in which all the moieties R (Fig. 14) are amine or alcohol, are soluble in the crystallization solution of SOS subunits from H. marismortui. Thus, they could be used for soaking. Crystallographic data (to 18 A resolution) show isomorphous unit cell constants with observable differences in the intensity (Fig. 15).

The CVI-experiments with silane as precursor did not show any increase in permselectivity of the membranes. The reaction temperature was in all cases 275°C and several oxygen pressures were tried. In each experiment, however, white powder was obtained on the membrane surface, indicating the decomposition of silane at the surface of the membrane. Reaction conditions could not be chosen in such a way that a highly separative layer was obtained. This was probably related to with the fact that the reactor temperature or the concentration of silane in the precursor gas was too low. Safety regulations, however, prohibited an increase of the silane concentration in the precursor flow.

The radical H02 formed reversibly from 02 in acidic solutions (p a = 4.7) is similar in reactivity to R02 radicals, formed by oxygen addition to alkyl and related radicals, or by H-atom loss from ROOH molecules. As radicals, they are more reactive than 02 ions and can extract active hydrogen, as in reaction [1.5] to give allyl radicals. The resulting hydroperoxide, like H202, is quite reactive, as is the allyl radical which, formally, has ca. 50% spin-density on two almost equivalent carbon atoms, as indicated. Reaction [1.5] is of major importance in certain membrane reactions, since it is one of the stages in the au-toxidation of unsaturated lipid groups (see Chapter 2). The total reaction comprises [1.5] followed by [1.6] which, in turn is followed by [1.5], These two steps constitute a chain reaction which may continue...

While being devoid of myelosuppressive effects, tretinoin therapy is associated with headache, skin and mucous membrane reactions, bone pain, nausea, and the retinoic acid syndrome. When tretinoin is started, rapid onset of differentiation of promyelocytes occurs, which can lead to leukocytosis and/or retinoic acid syndrome. The retinoic acid syndrome (fever, respiratory distress, interstitial pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusions, and weight gain) is now referred to as the APL differentiation syndrome or APL hyperleukocytosis syndrome, because it has been associated with other treatment modalities in the management of APL. Among tretinoin-treated patients, this syndrome has been fatal in 5% to 29% of cases. A combination of chemotherapy with tretinoin induction decreases the incidence of retinoic acid syndrome, and rapid initiation of dex-amethasone 10 mg (0.2 mg/kg per dose in children) twice daily for 3 days upon development of symptoms decreases associated mortality.
