In this work, for the first time, we report pK(a) values of the amino functions in a target-bound aminoglycoside antibiotic, which permitted dissection of the thermodynamic properties of an enzyme-aminoglycoside complex. Uniformly enriched N-15-neomycin was isolated from cultures of Streptomyces fradiae and used to study its binding to the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3')-IIIa (APH) by N-15 NMR spectroscopy. N-15 NMR studies showed that binding of neomycin to APH causes upshifts of similar to 1 pK(a) unit for the amines N2' and N2''' while N6' experienced a 0.3 p K a unit shift. The pK(a) of N6''' remained unaltered, and resonances of N1 and N3 showed significant broadening upon binding to the enzyme. The binding-linked protonation and pH dependence of the association constant (K-b) for the enzyme-aminoglycoside complex was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. The enthalpy of binding became more favorable (negative) with increasing pH. At high pH, binding-linked protonation was attributable mostly to the amino functions of neomycin; however, at neutral pH, functional groups of the enzyme, possibly remote from the active site, also underwent protonation/deprotonation upon formation of the binary enzyme-neomycin complex. The K-b for the enzyme-neomycin complex showed a complicated dependence on pH, indicating that multiple interactions may affect the affinity of the ligand to the enzyme and altered conditions, such as pH, may favor one or another. This work highlights the importance of determining thermodynamic parameters of aminoglycoside-target interactions under different conditions before making attributions to specific sites and their effects on these global parameters.

Dimedone reacted with benzofuraxane in the presence of Et3N. The expected products were quinoxaline derivatives but an unexpected compound was obtained in low yield. The structural identification of the product was done spectrally and a mechanism for its formation was proposed by the aid of AM l type semiempirical calculations.
Assessment of the durability of different travertine lithotypes used as armourstone around the coasts of Lake Van

We report a major olistostromal event situated around the Priabonian/Rupelian boundary. It is manifested in the island of Samothraki simultaneously with the development of a carbonate reef, preceded and followed by flyschoid sedimentation. Olistostrome formation of approximately the same age is observed also in the SE part of the island of Lemnos. Comparisons with the Thracian basin and the Rhodopes hint at the links of olistostrome and mélange formation with an episode of carbonatic sedimentation brusquely...

pH-responsive layer-by-layer films of zwitterionic block copolymer micelles

We report a strategy to incorporate micelles of poly[3-dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate]-block-poly[2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (beta PDMA-b-PDPA) into electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) films. We obtained micelles with pH-responsive PDPA-cores and zwitterionic bPDMA-coronae at pH 8.5 through pH-induced self-assembly of bPDMA-b-PDPA in aqueous solution. To incorporate bPDMA-b-PDPA micelles into LbL films, we first obtained a net electrical charge on bPDMA-coronae. Nega...
Investigation of thermostable recombinant glucose isomerase production by sucrose utilizing escherichia coli
Akdağ, Burcu; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2013)
The aim of this M.Sc. thesis is to investigate the production of thermostable glucose isomerase (GI; EC 5.3.1.5) by metabolically engineered sucrose-utilizing Escherichia coli in the designed molasses-based production media. Throughout the experiments the cell growth, sucrose consumption, recombinant GI activity, and by-product concentrations were analyzed. For this purpose, in the first part of this thesis, pRSETA plasmid carrying the thermostable GI encoding gene from Thermus thermophilus (xylA) was isola...
