ISOLEUCYL-tRNA-SYNTHETASE A FLUORESCENCE STUDY OP THE BINDINGPROPERTIES OF THE SYNTHETASE FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI

Fluorescence properties of purified isoleucyl-tRNA-synthetase isolated from E. coli B have been studied. No changes in the quantum yield, energy or polarization of the emission were detected in the presence (either individually or in combinations) of the substrates and cofactors required for activation of L-isoleucine. In 2.5 M urea enzyme activity and intrinsic fluorescence intensity (at 340 nm) each decrease with time, showing similar kinetics and rate constants. The rate of this decay is reduced in the presence of ligands which can bind to the enzyme and the effect has been used to measure dissociation constants for enzyme-ligand complexes. Values have been obtained for the complexes between enzyme and L-isoleucine (K{sub diss} = 2.5 x 10{sup -5} M), L-valine (K{sub diss} = 3.0 x 10{sup -4} M), ATP (K{sub diss} = 1.5 x 10{sup -4} M) and PP{sub i} (K{sub diss} = 2.0 x 10{sup -4} M) at 25{sup o}. The effects of ionic strength, and the temperature dependence and urea concentration dependence of L-isoleucine binding have also been studied. Magnesium ions, which are required for catalysis, do not greatly affect the binding of single substrates, but changes are seen in the presence of ATP and L-isoleucine together. The magnesium …

Preliminary analysis of LOFT Reactor vessel closure. Addendum I, Volume I. Appendix A-3

The purpose of this analysis is to determine if the two piece flat head closure concept presently being considered by INC for the LOFT reactor vessel will meet the structural and fatigue requirements of Article 4 of Section III, ''Nuclear Vessels,'' of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, for the anticipated LOFT operational requirements. The analyses performed include stress analyses based on classical stress analysis methods and proven computer programs, fatigue analyses based on the fatigue criteria of Section III of the Code, and thermal analyses based on multi-dimensional computer programs.

Technical bases for K Reactor dichromate and pH control

This memorandum was written to provide additional technical basis for preparing Process Standards. Fuel surface-tube outlet temperature data is also provided. These data will help establish dichromate concentration and coolant pH based on the outlet coolant temperatures of the hottest reactor process tubes.
