Excess molar enthalpies [Formula: see text] at 310.15 K and 101.32 kPa, have been determined for the binary mixtures: lauric acid ethyl ester +, stearic acid ethyl ester +, oleic acid ethyl ester +, linoleic acid ethyl ester + n-hexadecane, + toluene, or + ethyl alcohol, and elaidic acid ethyl ester + n-hexadecane or + toluene.The results show that HE of ester + n-hexadecane mixtures increases with decreasing chain length and with increasing unsaturation of the ester molecule. Ester + toluene mixtures are slightly exothermic and ester + alcohol are strongly endothermic, with [Formula: see text] values ranging from 1535 to 1740 J mol−1 at the maximum.

Human 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (2,4-reductase; DECR) and rat monofunctional ∆3-∆2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (rat 3,2-isomerase; ECI) are thought to be mitochondrial auxiliary enzymes involved in the β-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. However, their function during this process has not been demonstrated. Although they lack obvious peroxisomal targeting signals (PTSs), both proteins have been suggested previously to also occur in the mammalian peroxisomal compartment. The putative function and peroxisomal location of the two mammalian proteins can be examined in yeast, since β-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is a compartmentalized process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requiring peroxisomal 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (Sps19p) and peroxisomal 3,2-isomerase (Eci1p). A yeast sps19∆ mutant expressing human 2,4-reductase ending with the native C-terminus could not grow on petroselinic acid [cis-C18:1(6)] medium but could grow when the protein was extended with a PTS tripeptide, SKL (Ser-Lys-Leu). We therefore reason that the human protein is a physiological 2,4-reductase but that it is probably not peroxisomal. Rat 3,2-isomerase expressed in a yeast eci1∆ strain was able to re-establish growth on oleic acid [cis-C18:1(9)] medium irrespective of an SKL extension. Since we had shown that ∆2,4 double bonds could not be metabolized extra-peroxisomally to restore growth of the sps19∆ strain, we postulate that rat 3,2-isomerase acted on the ∆3 unsaturated metabolite of oleic acid by replacing the mutant's missing activity from within the peroxisomes. Immunoblotting of fractionated yeast cells expressing rat 3,2-isomerase in combination with electron microscopy supported our proposal that the protein functioned in peroxisomes. The results presented here shed new light on the function and location of human mitochondrial 2,4-reductase and rat monofunctional 3,2-isomerase.

We report on the oxidation of a magnetic fluid. The oxidation results in magnetic super lattice crystals. The “atoms” are hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a diameter ø = 6.9 nm and they are covered with a 1-2 nm thick layer of surfactant molecules.Magnetic fluids are homogeneous suspensions of small magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. To prevent agglomeration, the particles are coated with surfactant molecules. The magnetic fluid studied in this work was produced by thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5 in Declin (carrier liquid) in the presence of oleic acid (surfactant). The magnetic particles consist of an amorphous iron-carbon alloy. For TEM investigation a droplet of the fluid was added to benzine and a carbon film on a copper net was immersed. When exposed to air the sample starts burning. The oxidation and electron irradiation transform the magnetic particles into hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a median diameter ø = 6.9 nm.
