Salmonella newport phages 16–19 and 7–11 have very long heads and are members of two rare and so far little-known phage groups. Both produce various morphological aberrations. Preparations of phage 7–11 contain numerous polyheads and about 0.4% short heads belonging to nine size classes. In addition, one giant phage particle was observed. The head of phage 7–11 seems to be an icosahedron which became elongated by adding successive rows of subunits. Phages 16–19 and 7–11 have buoyant densities in CsCl of 1.43 and 1.48 g/mL and particle weights of 103 and 204 × 106 respectively. Both viruses contain double-stranded DNA, internal proteins, and sugars. Phage 16–19 contains 46.5% DNA of 35 × 106 molecular weight, and glucose. Phage 7–11 contains 47.5% DNA of 108 × 106 molecular weight, and mannose. Base compositions of phage and S. newport DNAs were determined from buoyant densities, melting point, and acid hydrolysis. Phage 16–19 contains 5.4% 5-methylcytosine.

Abstract The isolation and characterization of a specific chlorogenic acid esterase is described. The enzyme activity is measured by determination of the hydrolysis product caffeic acid. The enzyme had been concentrated by means of ultrafiltration and column-chromatography. The pH- and temperature optimum were 6.5 and 45 °C respectively. Divalent cations were not required for the enzyme activity. As other esterases, this enzyme is inhibited by di-isopropyl-phosphorofluoridate. The Km-value is 0.70 mᴍ chlorogenic acid, the molecular weight 240000. The described enzyme is specific for chlorogenic acid. On the other hand a typical unspecific esterase like the pig liver esterases does not split chloro­genic acid. The isoelectric focusing reveals several isoenzymes of chlorogenase within a pI-range of 4.0-4.5.

Erythro peptidyl epoxides are selective inactivators of cysteine proteases. The alkylation site, both on the enzyme papain and on the epoxide itself, was characterized. The inactivation of papain with the peptidyl epoxide erythro benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Ala-epoxide was followed by total hydrolysis by acid. Mass spectral analysis of the hydrolysate revealed, in addition to the expected amino acids, a unique signal of m/z 209 (MH+). Its high-resolution mass spectrum and daughter peak analysis correspond to the product of alkylation on cysteine and the expected fragmentation. A similar MS pattern was obtained for a synthetic model compound corresponding to the expected hydrolysis product. A 13C NMR analysis of papain inactivated by a specifically 13C-labelled peptidyl epoxide indicated that the alkylation of the enzyme's cysteine residue occurs on the primary carbon of the epoxide moiety.
