Abstract: Basic structure-function relations of the epicardial coronary vascular tree. Basis of quantitative coronary arteriography for diffuse coronary artery disease. Seiler C, Kirkeeide RL, Gould KL. University of Texas Medical School, Houston 77030. BACKGROUND. Quantitative coronary arteriography has been validated for stenotic segments of coronary arteries. However, it does not currently account for diffuse coronary artery disease, because the normal size of the coronary artery for its distal myocardial bed size is not known and cannot be measured directly with diffuse involvement of the artery. METHODS AND RESULTS. From clinical coronary arteriograms of 12 patients without coronary artery disease (group 1) and in 17 patients with coronary artery disease (group 2), we determined by quantitative coronary arteriography 1) the relations among measured coronary artery cross-sectional lumen area, summed distal branch lengths, and regional myocardial mass distal to each point in each coronary artery; 2) the ratio of coronary artery lumen area between parent and daughter vessels at 50 bifurcations; and 3) which of three different theoretical physical principles could underlie the tree structure of the human coronary artery system, by comparing the coronary artery size, branch lengths, regional mass, and relations between parent-to-daughter lumen area ratios with those for the different theoretical physical principles to test which principle best fit the observed data and therefore which principle most probably characterizes the human coronary artery tree structure. The results showed that 1) there is a close correlation between the lumen area of a coronary artery at each point along its length and the corresponding summed distal branch lengths and regional myocardial mass in patients without and with coronary artery disease; 2) measured coronary artery lumen area in patients with coronary artery disease is diffusely 30-50% too small for distal myocardial bed size compared with normal subjects; and 3) the observed relations among coronary artery size, distal summed lengths, myocardial bed size, and parent-to-daughter size ratios are not consistent with the theoretical principle of constant mean blood flow velocity in the coronary circulation but are consistent with the principles of minimum viscous energy loss and of limited/adaptive vascular wall shear stress characterized by a 2/3 power law relating coronary artery lumen area to distal summed branch lengths and regional mass or parent-to-daughter branching ratios. CONCLUSIONS. These observations provide a basis for quantifying diffuse coronary artery disease on clinical arteriograms. PMID: 1591819 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
A basic protein has been purified from the CNS myelin of the gummy shark (Mustelus antarticus). Electroblotting was used to examine the capacity of rabbit antisera raised against this electrophoretically pure protein to recognize myelin basic protein from higher vertebrates. The antisera bound to two shark proteins including the original polypeptide antigen and to chicken, bovine, and human myelin basic proteins. Thus, the shark protein appeared to possess antigenic determinants that have been retained through evolutionary divergence of these p...

Structure-based drug design is still a difficult achievable goal because many parameters describing non-covalent intermolecular interactions are known with insufficient accuracy. Here, we describe an example of a structural analysis of 5-substituted 2'-deoxyuridines and investigate if this analysis can be used to predict new molecules with antiviral activity. The target enzyme is the thymidine kinase of herpes simplex virus type. The physicochemical analysis of the 5-substituent demonstrate where substituents may be introduced and how the elect...
The series of tetranuclear zinc(II) carbamato complexes (Zn(4)O)(O(2)CR)(6), (1, R = diethylamino; 2, R = piperidino; 3, R = pyrrolidino) was prepared. Complexes 2 and 3 were crystallographically characterized and shown to have the same tetrahedral Zn(4)O(6+) core. Complex 2 crystallizes in the cubic space group I(-)43d, a = 24.0131(5) A, V = 13846.6(5) A(3), R(1976 observed reflections) = 0.0194, and GOF = 1.013. Complex 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P(-)1, a = 10.3178(6) A, b = 10.6962(6) A, c = 19.5130(11) A, alpha = 81.9070(10...
The spermatic protein of chromatin I2 of squid Illex argentinus was separated by HPLC into two components I2-1 and I2-2. Amino acid sequences of the major portion of protein I2-1 (52 residues) and the N-terminal sequence of protein I2-2 (21 residues) were determined. Arginines in protein I2-1 are arranged in clusters typical of protamines; the first cluster is in the N-terminus, the longest heterogeneous basic cluster is in the central part of the protein chain, the C-terminal part of the molecule contains two clusters of three hydroxyamino aci...
The capacity of myelin basic protein or of poly-L-lysine to promote leakage of carboxyfluorescein from vesicles or the aggregation of vesicles was studied. The vesicles were composed of phosphatidylcholine as the sole or major lipid component. Addition of 10% sphingomyelin, 10% phosphatidylglycerol, 10% egg or bovine brain phosphatidylethanolamine, or 30% dodecanal had relatively little effect on the extent of carboxyfluorescein release in the presence of either myelin basic protein or poly-L-lysine. In contrast with these results, the extent o...
A novel series of endothelin-A (ET(A)) selective receptor antagonists having a 2H-chromene skeleton are described. A lead compound, 2-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid (3), was found by modifications of our own angiotensin II antagonist. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of 3 reveals that the structural requirements essential for potent and selective ET(A) receptor binding affinity are the m,p-methylenedioxyphenyl, carboxyl, and isopropoxy groups at the 2-, 3-, and 6-positions, respectively, on the (R)-2H-chromen...
The complete amino acid sequence of a basic proline-rich protein, IB-9, from human parotid saliva was determined by automated Edman degradation of peptides obtained by enzymatic cleavage of the intact protein with clostripain. The protein was digested with papain and elastase to obtain overlapping peptides. Automated Edman degradation of the intact protein was also performed. The protein consists of 61 amino acids, of which 26 are proline residues. The partial sequence of another human parotid basic proline-rich protein, IB-6, was also obtained...
The effect of deimination of arginyl residues in bovine myelin basic protein (MBP) on its susceptibility to digestion by cathepsin D has been studied. Using bovine component 1 (C-1) of MBP, the most unmodified of the components with all 18 arginyl residues intact, we have generated a number of citrullinated forms by treatment of the protein with purified peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) in vitro. We obtained species containing 0-9.9 mol of citrulline/mol of MBP. These various species were digested with cathepsin D, a metalloproteinase which cle...
Abstract The "foliage cluster (FC) model" shows that the size (the amount of leaves, number of yearly shoots and total twig length), turnover time, and branching (i.e., forking) structure of a twig becomes stable in the top of the crown in an oak species by forming a "stable FC". A stable FC can be treated as a basic component of the crown structure and as an alternative to individual leaf or current-year shoot. The FC model is composed of several equations approximating the branching structure of twigs. Differences in size and branching morph...

Together the two rat kidneys accumulated a total of 31.7 +/- 1.6% of the intravenously injected amount of 7 nmoles egg-white-lysozyme (measured as iodine 125 lysozyme) within 10 min. The low molecular weight protein lysozyme and other basic substances were injected simultaneously in order to evaluate whether these basic substances can inhibit the renal lysozyme accumulation. The inhibitory effect of various basic compounds was dose-dependent with a maximal reduction of lysozyme accumulation to 11.7 +/- 0.08%. The basic substances could be divid...
