Studies with

Schneider and Schmidt and Thannhauser (1945-1950) introduced procedures for the fractionation of 32P-labeled compounds in tissues. Inorganic phosphate is very tightly bound to proteins. Both procedures therefore recommended extensive washing in cold dilute 

Treatment with hot organic solvents was the next step in the tissue fractionation, to remove lipid-phosphorous and breakdown lipid-protein interactions. In the Schneider procedure, nucleic acids were then extracted in hot dilute trichloroacetic or perchloric acid, leaving a protein residue with any phosphoprotein links still intact. This method was to become particularly useful when 3H thymidine became the preferred label for DNA in the early 1960s. For investigations where both RNA and DNA were to be examined the Schmidt-Thannhauser process was often chosen. Here the lipid-extracted material was hydrolyzed with dilute sodium hydroxide releasing RNA nucleotides and any hydroxyamino acid bound phosphorus. DNA could be precipitated from the extract but the presence in the alkaline hydrolysate of the highly labeled phosphate released from phosphoprotein complicated 

By the early 1960s it was clear that simple experiments on P uptake were inadequate to distinguish different species of RNA in mixed populations of cells at different stages of the cell cycle. The future for labeling experiments with 32P in cell biology was to lie mainly with synchronized cells and for studies on nucleic acids, with molecular biological techniques. 

Three years later, Lajtha, Oliver, and Ellis performed similar studies with human bone-marrow cultures exposed to 32P, or 14C-adenine. Control smears were treated with M HC1 at 60 °C for 6.5 min to remove 32P not incorporated into DNA. Grain counts were made over individual nuclei so that the rate of uptake into DNA could be estimated. The cycle time for the dividing cells in the culture was 40-48 h. DNA synthesis took 12-15 h in the second half of the cycle and was divided from mitosis by a 3-4 h non-synthesizing period (G2). 

Isotopic experiments on the cell cycle could also be performed with ordinary (non-autoradiographic) biochemical procedures if synchronized cells were available. The earliest animal preparation providing such a system for use in vivo was the regenerating rat liver. Stowell (1949) and Abercrombie and Harkness (1951) noted that DNA synthesis in livers

The solid-gas interface and the important topics of physical adsorption, chemisorption, and catalysis are addressed in Chapters XVI-XVIII. These subjects marry fundamental molecular studies with problems of great practical importance. Again the emphasis is on the basic aspects of the problems and those areas where modeling complements experiment. 

It was determined, for example, that the surface tension of water relaxes to its equilibrium value with a relaxation time of 0.6 msec [104]. The oscillating jet method has been useful in studying the surface tension of surfactant solutions. Figure 11-21 illustrates the usual observation that at small times the jet appears to have the surface tension of pure water. The slowness in attaining the equilibrium value may partly be due to the times required for surfactant to diffuse to the surface and partly due to chemical rate processes at the interface. See Ref. 105 for similar studies with heptanoic acid and Ref. 106 for some anomalous effects. 

The ability to image lateral heterogeneity in Langmuir monolayers dates back to Zocher and Stiebel s 1930 study with divergent light illumination [166]. More recently the focus shifted toward the use of fluorescence microscopy of mono-layers containing a small amount of fluorescent dye [167]. Even in single-corn-... 

Gilman [124] and Westwood and Hitch [135] have applied the cleavage technique to a variety of crystals. The salts studied (with cleavage plane and best surface tension value in parentheses) were LiF (100, 340), MgO (100, 1200), CaFa (111, 450), BaFj (111, 280), CaCOa (001, 230), Si (111, 1240), Zn (0001, 105), Fe (3% Si) (100, about 1360), and NaCl (100, 110). Both authors note that their values are in much better agreement with a very simple estimate of surface energy by Bom and Stem in 1919, which used only Coulomb terms and a hard-sphere repulsion. In more recent work, however, Becher and Freiman [126] have reported distinctly higher values of y, the critical fracture energy. ... 

Protein adsorption has been studied with a variety of techniques such as ellipsome-try [107,108], ESCA [109], surface forces measurements [102], total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRE) [103,110], electron microscopy [111], and electrokinetic measurement of latex particles [112,113] and capillaries [114], The TIRE technique has recently been adapted to observe surface diffusion [106] and orientation [IIS] in adsorbed layers. These experiments point toward the significant influence of the protein-surface interaction on the adsorption characteristics [105,108,110]. A very important interaction is due to the hydrophobic interaction between parts of the protein and polymeric surfaces [18], although often electrostatic interactions are also influential [ 116]. Protein desorption can be affected by altering the pH [117] or by the introduction of a complexing agent [118]. 

Adsorbed atoms and molecules can also diflfiise across terraces from one adsorption site to another [33]. On a perfect terrace, adatom diflfiision could be considered as a random walk between adsorption sites, with a diflfiisivity that depends on the barrier height between neighbouring sites and the surface temperature [29]. The diflfiision of adsorbates has been studied with FIM [14], STM [34, 35] and laser-mduced themial desorption [36].

Time-resolved spectroscopy has become an important field from x-rays to the far-IR. Both IR and Raman spectroscopies have been adapted to time-resolved studies. There have been a large number of studies using time-resolved Raman [39], time-resolved resonance Raman [7] and higher order two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy (which can provide coupling infonuation analogous to two-dimensional NMR studies) [40]. Time-resolved IR has probed neutrals and ions in solution [41, 42], gas phase kmetics [42] and vibrational dynamics of molecules chemisorbed and physisorbed to surfaces [44]- Since vibrational frequencies are very sensitive to the chemical enviromnent, pump-probe studies with IR probe pulses allow stmctiiral changes to...

For diffraction studies with monocliromatic radiation, the crystal is connnonly mounted on an Eulerian cradle, which can rotate the crystal so that the nonnal to any set of planes bisects the angle between the incident and reflected beams, which is set for reflection from planes with a particular value of the interplanar spacing, d. 

Powder diffraction studies with neutrons are perfonned both at nuclear reactors and at spallation sources. In both cases a cylindrical sample is observed by multiple detectors or, in some cases, by a curved, position-sensitive detector. In a powder diffractometer at a reactor, collimators and detectors at many different 20 angles are scaimed over small angular ranges to fill in the pattern. At a spallation source, pulses of neutrons of different wavelengdis strike the sample at different times and detectors at different angles see the entire powder pattern, also at different times. These slightly displaced patterns are then time focused , either by electronic hardware or by software in the subsequent data analysis.

The adliesion and fiision mechanisms between bilayers have also been studied with the SEA [M, 100]. Kuhl et al [17] found that solutions of short-chained polymers (PEG) could produce a short-range depletion attraction between lipid bilayers, which clearly depends on the polymer concentration (fignre Bl.20.1 It. This depletion attraction was found to mduce a membrane fusion widiin 10 minutes that was observed, in real-time, using PECO fringes. There has been considerable progress in the preparation of fluid membranes to mimic natural conditions in the SEA [ ], which promises even more exciting discoveries in biologically relevant areas.

The excellent agreement of the results of HCR ab initio studies with the corresponding experimental findings clearly shows that the strongest influence on the numerical accuracy of the vibronic levels have effects outside of the R-T effect, that is, primarly the replacement of the effective bending approaches employed in previous works by a full 3D treatment of the vibrational motions (for an analysis of this matter see, e.g., [17]). Let us note, however, that such a... 

This reaction has been carefully studied with the aim of obtaining the enthalpy of combustion as electrical energy, and successful hydrazine-air fuel cells have been developed using potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte. The hydrazine fuel, however, has the disadvantage that it is expensive and poisonous. 

Previous studies with a variety of datasets had shown the importance of charge distribution, of inductive effect), of r-electronegativity, resonance effect), and of effective polarizability, aeffi polarizability effect) for details on these methods see Section 7.1). All four of these descriptors on all three carbon atoms were calculated. However, in the final study, a reduced set of descriptors, shown in Table 3-4, was chosen that was obtained both by statistical methods and by chemical intuition.
