This investigation was undertaken to determine the interaction of diuron with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by monitoring the spectral behavior of diuron-HSA system. The fluorescence of HSA at 340 nm excited at 230 nm was obviously quenched by diuron due to dynamic collision and the quenching constant was of the order of 104 L mol?1 at 310 K. However, no fluorescence quenching was observed when excited at 280 nm. Thermodynamic investigations revealed that the combination between diuron and HSA was entropy driven by predominantly hydrophobic interactions. The binding of diuron induced the drastic reduction in α-helix conformation and the significant enhancement in β-turn conformation of HSA. In addition, both sites marker competition study and molecular modeling simulation evidenced the binding of diuron to HSA primarily took place in subdomain IIIA (Sudlow's site II).  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Abamectin, a blend of the natural avermectins B1a and B1b, is a widely-used insecticide/miticide with relatively low toxicity to mammals. Exposure to high doses of it, however, leads to cholinergic-like neurotoxic effects. Butyrylcholinesterase, which is best known for its abundant presence in plasma, is a serine hydrolase loosely coupled with the cholinergic system. It protects and supports the neurotransmitter function of its sister enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Here, using experimental and computational studies, we provide evidence demonstrating that abamectin is a potent (IC50 = 10.6 μM; Ki = 2.26 ± 0.35 μM) inhibitor of horse serum butyrylcholinesterase and that it interacts with the enzyme in a reversible, competitive manner predictively to block the mouth of the active-site gorge of the enzyme and to bind to several critical residues that normally bind/hydrolyze choline esters.  相似文献

The effect of wastewater from a phosphoric gypsum depot on common oak, Quercus robur L., at cytogenetical level was studied. Allium-test was used as a control. The treatment of common oak seedlings with wastewater under laboratory conditions caused mitodepressive effect. Chromosome aberrations and mitotic irregularities were found. Cytogenetic analysis of common oak seedlings grown from acorns collected near the depot did not show changes in mitotic activity in comparison to control but the number of aberrations was higher than in control. In comparison to Alliumtest common oak was found to be more tolerant to wastewater from the phosphoric gypsum depot.  相似文献

Effects of repeated applications of the herbicide butachlor (N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro -N-2′,6′-dimethyl acetanilide) in soil on its persistence and soil microbial functional diversity were investigated under laboratory conditions. The degradation half-lives of butachlor at the recommended dosage in soil were calculated to be 12.5, 4.5, and 3.2 days for the first, second, and third applications, respectively. Throughout this study, no significant inhibition of the Shannon-Wiener index H′ was observed. However, the Simpson index 1/D and McIntosh index U were significantly reduced (P ≤ 0.05) during the initial 3 days after the first application of butachlor, and thereafter gradually recovered to a similar level to that of the control soil. A similar variation but faster recovery in 1/D and U was observed after the second and third Butachlor applications. Therefore, repeated applications of butachlor led to more rapid degradation of the herbicide, and more rapid recovery of soil microorganisms. It is concluded that repeated butachlor applications in soil had a temporary or short-term inhibitory effect on soil microbial communities.  相似文献

Present day Mexico City was established on the banks of the now dead Lake Texcoco by Aztec Indians in a.d. 1325. Over time, increasing population growth, urbanization, vehicular traffic and the number of diverse stationary sources, coupled with its topography and the resultant frequency of prevalent stagnant air masses make Mexico City one of the most polluted areas in the world. Use of biological indicator plants since the early 1970s has shown the critical nature of phytotoxic photochemical oxidants in the region. More recent empirical studies with bean, soybean and pine species confirm these observations and raise concern regarding the geographic magnitude of the problem. Surface measurements of air quality in the region are inadequate and require much additional support. Ultimately, ambient air quality measurements must be coupled with the observations on responses of sensitive vegetation. While the results presented in this paper are primarily observational or qualitative, they hopefully serve the purpose of bringing attention to a critical air quality issue in a developing country.  相似文献

There has been increasing awareness of the possible impact of herbicide drift on vegetation in nature reserves and field-margin habitats adjacent to treated areas. However, relatively little is known about the impact of such drift on species typical of these habitats. To investigate this problem a series of bioassay experiments simulating spray drift were carried out with five native plant species of different age placed at different distances up to 4 downwind from a sprayer under standardized conditions. These experiments used three herbicides--glyphosate, MCPA and mecoprop--in three types of surrounding vegetation structure--short, medium-height and tall grassland. Many plants showed symptoms of damage after spraying but showed no significant growth reduction at the end of the season even underneath the sprayer. Where a reduction in yield was found, it occurred close to the sprayer. In general, young plants were more often affected than old ones. Yield promotion occurred for some species between 2 and 4 m downwind of the sprayer (curvilinear response) with unknown ecological consequences. The structure of the surrounding vegetation influenced the response for some species, which indicates that deposition patterns can be complex, and thus there may be difficulty in predicting effects in semi-natural communities from simple deposition models.  相似文献

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effects of impaction substrate designs and material in reducing particle bounce and reentrainment. Particle collection without coating by using combinations of different impaction substrate designs and surface materials was conducted using a personal particle sampler (PPS) developed by the University of Southern California. The PPS operates at flow rate of 4 l min-1 with a 50% cutpoint of approximately 0.9 μm in aerodynamic diameter. The laboratory results showed that the PPS collection efficiency for particles larger than 50% cutpoint is strikingly low (e.g., less than 50%) when an uncoated open cavity made of aluminum was used as an impaction substrate. The collection efficiency gradually increased when Teflon tape, Nuclepore, and glass fiber filters were used as impaction surfaces, respectively. Conical or partially enclosed cavity substrate designs increased collection efficiency of particles of 9 μm up to 80–90%. A conical cavity with glass fiber filter used as impaction surface was identified as the optimum configuration, resulting in a collection efficiency of 92% at Stokes numbers as high as 15.4 (corresponding to 9 μm in aerodynamic diameter). Particle losses were low (less than 10%) and relatively independent of particle size in any design with glass fiber filter. Losses seemed to increase slightly with particle size in all other configurations. Finally, outdoor PM1 concentrations obtained with the PPS (in its optimum configuration) and a modified micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI) with coated impaction stages were in excellent agreement. The mean ratio of the PPS-to-MOUDI concentration was 1.13(±0.17) with a correlation coefficient R2=0.95. Results from this investigation can be readily applied to design particle bounce-free impaction substrates without the use of coating. This is a very important feature of impactors, especially when chemical analysis of the collected particulate matter is desirable.  相似文献

This study aimed to assess the influence of excess iron on the capacity of accumulation of this heavy metal, mineral composition, and growth of Setaria parviflora and Paspalum urvillei. Seedlings were submitted to 0.009; 1; 2; 4; and 7 mM of Fe-EDTA. In both species there was an increase in the concentration of Fe, Zn, P, and Ca and a decrease in Mn, K, and Mg in the iron plaque. Both species accumulated more iron in roots. In the shoots, S. parviflora showed higher iron content, except at 7 mM. Iron altered the contents of Fe, Cu, K, and Mg in roots, and of Fe, Mn, Zn, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in shoots. The two species tolerated high iron concentrations and accumulated high content of this element in both shoots and roots. The iron did not reduce their growth. Both species are indicated for studies aiming restoration of iron-contaminated areas.  相似文献

Abstract

The effects of the fungicide benomyl and its breakdown products, carbendazim and butyl isocyanate, were examined on canine tracheal epithelial tissue in primary culture. Changes in ciliary frequencies were monitored with an optical spectrum analysis system. Serial dilutions of the test compounds were prepared in 100% corn oil and applied to the cell cultures for intervals up to 6 hours and frequencies measured at intervals of 15 minutes to 1 hour. Benomyl and butyl isocyanate caused concentration‐dependent decreases in ciliary beat frequency. Benomyl at 300 μg/ml (3 mM) caused ciliostasis within 75 minutes of exposure. Butyl isocyanate at a molar concentration three times lower than benomyl (1 mM) caused a similar response, although within 30 minutes. The IBC50 for benomyl was 0.75 mM, while for butyl isocyanate it was 0.52 mM. Carbendazim caused a moderate decrease in frequency over a 6 hour exposure period. Benomyl caused moderate to severe swelling of the mitochondria of ciliated epithelial cells with other cell organelles appearing normal. Butyl isocyanate did not cause any noticeable effect on cell ultrastructure and the apparently low rate of penetration of carbendazim into cells made it impossible to obtain an effect which justified ultrastructural analysis. It appears, at least for benomyl and butyl isocyanate, that while the physiological effect of these two compounds (inhibition of ciliary beat) is the same, the sites of action in the cell may be different.  相似文献
