Figure 3 shows the final chromatogram and activity profile of purified alpha-endopsychosin. The first peak contained most of the PCP displacing activity as measured by its ability to inhibit 3H-PCP. An aliquot of the most active material was hydrolyzed in acid and the amino acid composition was determined using OPA detection. It was determined that the peptide contained approximately 26 amino acids, in close agreement with the molecular weight predicted by Sephadex gel filtration studies. N-terminal analysis revealed that the peptide was blocked at this site. The nature of this blockade is yet to be determined. Studies are under way to determine the amino acid sequence of the peptide.

This unit describes a method for measuring the viscosity (r ) of Newtonian fluids. For a Newtonian fluid, viscosity is a constant at a given temperature and pressure, as defined in unit hi. i common liquids under ordinary circumstances behave in this way. Examples include pure fluids and solutions. Liquids which have suspended matter of sufficient size and concentration may deviate from Newtonian behavior. Examples of liquids exhibiting non-Newtonian behavior (unit hi. i) include polymer suspensions, emulsions, and fruit juices. Glass capillary viscometers are useful for the measurement of fluids, with the appropriate choice of capillary dimensions, for Newtonian fluids of viscosity up to 10 Pascals (Newtons m/sec 2) or 100 Poise (dynes cm/sec 2). Traditionally, these viscometers have been used in the oil industry. However, they have been adapted for use in the food industry and are commonly used for molecular weight prediction of food polymers in very dilute solutions (Daubert and Foegeding, 1998). There are three common types of capillary viscometers including Ubelohde, Ostwald, and Cannon-Fenske. These viscometers are often referred to as U-tube viscometers because they resemble the letter U (see Fig. HI.3.1).

In the assessment of the uptake of a chemical after dermal exposure, for instance, the dermal permeability of the skin is often estimated using the Potts-Guy quantitative structure-activity relationship (Guy Potts, 1992), which was derived from an experimental data set of in vitro measured steady-state skin permeations (Wilschut et al., 1995). Uncertainty in the use of a value for the skin permeation obtained this way comes from questions of how well a regression model based on Kow and molecular weight predicts the skin permeability of a chemical that was not in the original data set, and how representative the steady-state permeability measured in vitro is for a (possibly) non-steady-state permeability in vivo (see also IPCS, 2006b). 

Figure 2 shows the partition coefficient versus PEG molecular weight predicted by the sphere-cylinder model for the four proteins when the dextran molecular weight is fixed at 23,000 and the mixture composition is PEG 6% Dx 8%. Thus for low values of the Dx molecular weight, the model predicts the observed experimental trend, i.e. that the partition coefficient decreases with increasing PEG molecular weight. 

It is often observed that the measured molecular, weight of a polymer product made by free-radical chain polymerization is lower than the molecular weights predicted from Eq. (6.102) for termination by either coupling [Eq. (6.103)] or disproportionation [Eq. (6.104)]. Such an effect, when the mode of termination is known to be disproportionation, can be due to a growing polymer chain terminating prematurely by transfer of its radical center to other species, present in the reaction mixture. These are referred to as chain transfer reactions and may be generally written as... 

The diffusivity of DNA in this matrix, measured by both the jump-time distribution and the growth of the mean-squared displacement, indicates an exponential decay with respect to molecular weight, although the amount of data is very limited. If these data are fit by a power law, one obtains D -i i o.7 Although this is very close to inverse dependence on molecular weight predicted by the Rouse model, the dynamics are very different. It is clear from these experiments that direct visualization is necessary to determine the true mode of migration [34].
