Ninhydrin Reagent

Ninhydrin is the most well known spray reagent for identification of amino acids due to its high sensitivity. But, it produces same purple/violet color with all amino acids, except proline and hydroxy proline. A new spray reagent, para bromobenzoic acid has been introduced here which produces distinguishable colors with the amino acids with moderately high sensitivity (0.01-1.0) μg. A probable mechanism for such color formation has also been proposed.

The effect of sulphonated aromatic compounds on the atomization of molybdenum in acetylene-air and nitrous oxide-acetylene flames was studied. The absorbance signal is increased in the presence of these compounds only in acetylene-nitrous oxide flames and in the presence of potassium or sodium salts. Otherwise, the absorbance is decreased. The probable mechanism of the effect of sulphonated aromatic groups during the atomization of molybdenum is discussed. The determination in the presence of 0.1M 5-sulphosalicylic acid and 9.5 mg ml-1 KCl is without interference and has high sensitivity.

Small proteins of <51 amino acids are abundant across all domains of life but are often overlooked because their small size makes them difficult to predict computationally, and they are refractory to standard proteomic approaches. Ribosome profiling has been used to infer the existence of small proteins by detecting the translation of the corresponding open reading frames (ORFs). Detection of translated short ORFs by ribosome profiling can be improved by treating cells with drugs that stall ribosomes at specific codons. Here, we combine the analysis of ribosome profiling data for Escherichia coli cells treated with antibiotics that stall ribosomes at either start or stop codons. Thus, we identify ribosome-occupied start and stop codons with high sensitivity for ∼400 novel putative ORFs. The newly discovered ORFs are mostly short, with 365 encoding proteins of <51 amino acids. We validate translation of several selected short ORFs, and show that many likely encode unstable proteins. Moreover, we present evidence that most of the newly identified short ORFs are not under purifying selection, suggesting they do not impact cell fitness, although a small subset have the hallmarks of functional ORFs. IMPORTANCE Small proteins of <51 amino acids are abundant across all domains of life but are often overlooked because their small size makes them difficult to predict computationally, and they are refractory to standard proteomic approaches. Recent studies have discovered small proteins by mapping the location of translating ribosomes on RNA using a technique known as ribosome profiling. Discovery of translated sORFs using ribosome profiling can be improved by treating cells with drugs that trap initiating ribosomes. Here, we show that combining these data with equivalent data for cells treated with a drug that stalls terminating ribosomes facilitates the discovery of small proteins. We use this approach to discover 365 putative genes that encode small proteins in Escherichia coli .

Abstract A thin-layer chromatographic (TLC)-densitometric method has been developed for identification and quantification of ciprofloxacin (Rf = 0.61) and an ethylenediamine compound (Rf = 0.42), a desfluoro compound (Rf = 0.48), by-compound A (Rf = 0.53), and fluoroquinolonic acid (Rf = 0.68) as ciprofloxacin degradation products in pharmaceutical preparations. By using chloroform–methanol–25% ammonia (43 + 43 + 14, v/v/v) as the mobile phase and silica gel 60 F254 high-performance TLC plates as the stationary phase, it was possible to separate individual constituents that, when subjected to ultraviolet (UV) densitometric analysis at 330 nm for fluoroquinolonic acid and 277 nm for the other compounds, gave well developed peaks allowing easy qualitative and quantitative analyses. DMSO–methanol (1 + 1) was used to extract drug constituents. The method showed high sensitivity (limit of detection 10 to 44 ng), a wide linearity range (3 to 20 μg/mL), and good precision (2.32 to 6.46% relative standard deviation) and accuracy (percentage recoveries 98.62 to 101.52%) for individual constituents.

Dipeptide Derivative

Amino acids and peptides bearing cyclic hydrocarbon side-chains are of interest in the development of a wide range of bioactive molecules. The preparation of an amino acid and a dipeptide derivative bearing an unfunctionalised cubane substituent is described. Attempts to prepare a cubylalanine derivative via the corresponding dehydroalanine were unsuccessful due to the high sensitivity of this vinyl cubane compound. Conversely, the addition of cubyllithium to a (RS)-glyoxylate sulfinimine led to an effective synthesis of a cubylglycine derivative and a cubane-substituted dipeptide in diastereomerically pure form.

Hypersensitive Transitions

The absorption difference, comparative absorption spectrophotometry, and quantitative analysis of 4f–4f spectra of praseodymium(III) complexes with ligands possessing varying structural features and binding capabilities have clearly indicated that the 3H4 → 3P2, 3H4 → 3P1, 3H4 → 3P0, and 3H4 → 1D2 transitions exhibit substantial intensification as well as a wide variation of oscillator strength. Since these transitions do not follow the selection rules they cannot be considered hypersensitive. Ligands such as β-diketones, Schiff bases, amino acids, diols, nucleic bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, alkoxides, and haloacetates with widely differing binding features in terms of coordinating ability, denticity, and normalized bite appear to induce, to varying degrees, high sensitivity in these non-hypersensitive transitions. The present article reports the high sensitivity of the 3H4 → 3P2, 3P1, 3P0, and 1D2, transitions of Pr(III) by considering the solution spectra of 173 species. This unique sensitivity is termed Ligand Mediated Pseudohypersensitivity. Keywords: praseodymium(III), 4f–4f transitions, hypersensitive transitions.
