We report M�ssbauer and EPR measurements on horseradish peroxidase in the native state and the reaction intermediates with peroxide and chlorite. A detailed analysis of the electronic state of the heme iron is given, and comparisons are drawn with related systems. The native enzyme is high-spin ferric and thus has three Kramers doublets. The unusual magnetic properties of the ground doublet and ...

We previously described Ad-Delta24RGD as an enhanced-infectivity oncolytic adenovirus that targets tumors with an impaired RB pathway. The common alteration of this pathway in cancer eliminates the interaction of pRB with E2F and releases free E2F to activate E2F-responsive promoters, including the E2F-1 promoter. To improve the selectivity towards RB pathway-defective tumors ...

The techniques used to measure precisely the polarization of the proton beams at RHIC are presented and discussed. Fast polarization measurements are performed using polarimeters based on pC elastic scattering. The absolute normalization is provided by a polarized hydrogen gas jet target. During the 2004 polarized proton run a relative precision on the beam polarization ...

A method and system for solving the inverse acoustic scattering problem using an iterative approach with consideration of half-off-shell transition matrix elements (near-field) information, where the Volterra inverse series correctly predicts the first two moments of the interaction, while the Fredholm inverse series is correct only for the first moment and that the Volterra approach provides a ...

The reaction of a cis beta folded organocobalt derivative with a salen-type ligand, 1, isolated as racemic compound of Delta and Lambda enantiomers, with enantiomerically pure alpha-l amino acids is reported. The reaction between racemic 1 and l-tyrosine afforded a mixture of the two diastereoisomers Delta-2 and Lambda-2, which could be separated by ...

Gas isotope ratio mass spectrometers usually measure ion current ratios of molecules, not atoms. Often several isotopologues contribute to an ion current at a particular mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Therefore, corrections have to be applied to derive the desired isotope ratios. These corrections are usually formulated in terms of isotope ratios (R), but this does not reflect the practice of ...

At high temperature, the substitution of Pr for Y does not affect the thermopower and resistivity; Pr behaves ...

The factors affecting the inelastic cross section ( sigma /sub max/) in nonresonant single-electron charge exchange were studied. Charge exchange cross sections are strongly infuenced by the structures of external electron shells of ion (I/sup +/) and targets (A). Data were obtained which reveal the absolute magnitude ( DELTA E) of the resonance ...

We present the results of a systematic study of the dark current in each pixel of a charged-coupled device chip. It was found that the Arrhenius plot, at temperatures between 222 and 291 K, deviated from a linear behavior in the form of continuous bending. However, as a first approximation, the dark current, D, can be expressed as: D=D{sub 0}exp({minus}{Delta}E/kT), where ...

These were used to determine the quantity V = V(zz)[1+ 1/3((V(xx) - ...

By using portable infrared thermometer, the canopy temperature (Tc) of apple tree in its main growth season was measured in 2002-2005. Combined with the synchronous micro-meteorological data on the canopy, such as net radiation (Rn), wind speed (V), air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH), as well as the soil water content (SW) at 0-80 cm depth, the variation of apple tree canopy-air ...

Deltaic deposition during a eustatic sea level fall occurs in two phases, each controlled primary by the morphology of the sea floor and the rate of subsidence. The initial, or shelf phase of deposition, produces deposits similar to most modern deltas, although the rates of progradation are enhanced by the cumulative effects of sedimentation and absolute ...

The rate of change in the O{sub 2}({sup 1{Delta}}) concentration in continuous-flow tube is determined by ...

Many scientists use naturally occurring stable isotopes to reconstruct the diets of animals. However, isotopic ratios may be affected not only by the composition of the diet but also by the amount of food consumed. Thus, an experiment using tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was carried out to test the influence of feeding level on delta13C and delta15N of ...

After twenty years of intense scrutiny CP violation is apparently still well described, if not explained, by the superweak hypothesis, in which absolute values ..delta..S = 2 (T-violating) transitions between the K/sup 0/, anti K/sup 0/ states induce CP violating impurities in the K/sub L//sup 0/, K/sub S//sup 0/ states. CP-violating effects observed in ...

The results show that the local defect structures around tetrahedral Fe3+ centers display an expansion effect. ...

Motivated by recent development in quantum entanglement, we study relations among concurrence C, SU{sub q}(2) algebra, quantum phase transition and correlation length at the zero temperature for the XXZ chain. We find that at the SU(2) point, the ground state possesses the maximum concurrence. When the anisotropic parameter {delta} is deformed, however, its value decreases. ...

The concept of the absolute half-cell potential is discussed from a simple thermodynamic point of view and defined as -..delta..G/ne for the half-cell reaction, treating the electron like other individual chemical species. With the standard reference state of the electron taken as the free electron at rest at infinity, the absolute ...

The phenomenon of 'tidal-shock relaxation' is defined and quantitatively estimated. We show that the second-order term mean value of ((delta E)2) which has usually been neglected in the treatment of tidal shocks, is typically far more important than the first-order term mean value of (delta E). The latter has been found by Aguilar, Ostriker & Hut ...
