AbstractBy employing novel hybrid silica/functional polymer aerogels, control of the course of chemical reactions between reactants confined inside of the aerogels with reactants whose access to the confinement domain is controlled by diffusion has been explored. Thus, monolithic silica/biopolymer hybrid aerogels have been synthesized with coordinated metal ions that can react with amino acids, such as L-cysteine, that are provided externally in a surrounding solution. Metal ions, such as Au(III), that can react in solution with the amino acid to produce one set of products under a given set of stoichiometric or concentration conditions, and a different set of products under a second set of conditions, were selected for incorporation into the aerogel. It was discovered that the course of the reaction can be changed by spatial confinement of the reaction domain in the aerogel. For example, in the case of Au(III) and L-cysteine, the Au(III) ions are confined in nanoscale domains, and when they are reacted with the amino acid, the nature of the reaction products is controlled by diffusion of the L-cysteine into the domains. Exploration of these and related phenomena will be presented.

Asid amino merupakan bahan asas dalam tisu tumbuhan dan haiwan. Tirosina (Tr) salah satu jenis asid amino yang mengandungi gelang aromatik, telah dipilih sebagai sampel untuk proses degradasi dalam medium akueus. Ini bertujuan melihat kesan penggunaan mangkinfoto dalam sinaran ultralembayung (λ < 400 nm) atau cahaya matahari ke atas molekul tirosina. Kajian telah dijalankan menggunakan sistem cahaya, mangkin serbuk TiO2, hidrogen peroksida, H2O2 dan ion logam. Penambahan ion logam seperti Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Co2+, Fe2+ dan Cd2+ dan agen pengoksidaan, iaitu hidrogen peroksida adalah untuk mendapatkan kaedah yang paling cekap. Keputusan menunjukkan penambahan H2O2 dan ion Fe2+ dan Ni2+ berjaya meningkatkan kecekapan proses degradasifoto tirosina. Ion Ni2+ memberikan keputusan terbaik berbanding ion-ion lain. Ion Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+ dan Cd2+ merencat proses degradasi. Keputusan juga menunjukkan cahaya matahari adalah setanding dengan cahaya ultralembayung. Kepekatan H2O2 terbaik adalah 5.0 x 10-2M dan semakin banyak TiO2 digunakan semakin baik peratus degradasi tirosina. Oleh itu kaedah optimum untuk proses degradasifoto ialah Tr 2.5 x 10-4 M + TiO2 + H2O25.0 x 10-3 M + Mn+ 1.0 x 10-2 M. Proses degradasifoto dikaji menggunakan spektroskopi ultralembayung-nampak pada julat panjang gelombang 400-200 nm. Kata kunci: Tirosina; degradasifoto; serbuk TiO; akueus Amino acid is a basic component in plant or animal tissue. Tyrosine (Tr), an amino acid which contains aromatic ring, was chosen as a sample for a photodegradation process in an aqueous system. The purpose of the experiment is to study the effect of photocatalysis under UV (λ < 400 nm) or sunlight on tyrosine. The experiment was carried out by using UV light, catalyst powder (TiO2), hidrogen peroxide H2O2 and metal ions system. The addition of oxidising agent H2O2 and metal ions such as Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Co2+, Fe2+ and Cd2+ were used in order to achieve the most efficient system. Results showed that the system with added H2O2 and metal ions such as Ni2+ and Fe2+ had successfully enhanced the process of the tyrosine photodegradation. Other metal ions system such as Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+ and Cd2+ were found to inhibit the degradation process. The results also showed that sunlight was comparable to ultraviolet light. The best H2O2 concentration was 5.0 x 10-2 M and the percentage of tyrosine degradation increased with the addition of more TiO2) by mass. Therefore, the optimum condition for tyrosine photodegradation process was in Tr 2.5 x 10-4 M + TiO2 + H2O2 5.0 x 10-3 M + H2O2 1.0 x 10-2 M. The dissappearance of tyrosine in the photo degradation process was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy between 400-200 nm. Key words: Tyrosine; photodegradation; TiO2 powder; akueus

An apparatus for the preparation of protein-free filtrates of biological fluids for subsequent amino-acid analysis by paper chromatography is described. The construction allows filtration to be carried out at high pressures, hence increasing the rate of filtration. Contamination by interfering heavy metal ions is avoided by a design in which solutions are exposed only to lucite.

Physical features of the amino acid oligomerization were studied. Growth model of the L-Glu monomer chain induced by the condensing agent in the aqueous solutions with and without metal ions was proposed. Computer simulation of oligomerization process was conducted and from the comparison of the calculated and experimental data attachment energy of the Leuchs anhydride of L-Glu to the oligomer was estimated.

Binding Residue

Over one-third of protein structures contain metal ions, which are the necessary elements in life systems. Traditionally, structural biologists were used to investigate properties of metalloproteins (proteins which bind with metal ions) by physical means and interpreting the function formation and reaction mechanism of enzyme by their structures and observations from experiments in vitro. Most of proteins have primary structures (amino acid sequence information) only; however, the 3-dimension structures are not always available. In this paper, a direct analysis method is proposed to predict the protein metal-binding amino acid residues from its sequence information only by neural networks with sliding window-based feature extraction and biological feature encoding techniques. In four major bulk elements (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Sodium), the metal-binding residues are identified by the proposed method with higher than 90% sensitivity and very good accuracy under 5-fold cross validation. With such promising results, it can be extended and used as a powerful methodology for metal-binding characterization from rapidly increasing protein sequences in the future.

The beta-elimination of phosphoserine residues by dilute alkali is catalysed by the presence of group II metal ions. The use of 0.1 M-Ba (OH)2 catalysed the rate of beta-elimination of phosphoserine by more than two orders of magnitude compared with the use of NaOH at the same OH-ion concentration. Serine and threonine residues are unaffected by this treatment. Free thiol groups and disulphide bonds are labile to these conditions, but carboxymethylcysteine is stable. The rate of beta-elimination of O-glycosidically linked moieties is not catalysed under these conditions, and the rate of reaction is thus two orders of magnitude slower than for phosphoserine. This specific catalysis was readily exploited in the rapid and selective modification of phosphoserine residues under mildly alkaline conditions with the nucleophile methylamine via the alpha beta-desaturated dehydroalanine intermediate to yield the beta-methylaminoalanine residue. This modified residue could be easily detected on sequence analysis and in amino acid compositions.
