AB  - A physical and mathematical model identifies similarities between phosphocholine-binding antibodies.A methodology based on the representation of each amino acid of a protein sequence by the electron-ion interaction potential and subsequent analysis by signal processing was used to determine the characteristic or common frequency (in Hz) that reflects the biological activity shared among phosphocholine (PC)-binding antibodies. The common frequency for the variable portion of the heavy chain (VH) of the PC-specific antibodies is found to be at f 0.37 Hz. The VH sequences of the PC-binding antibodies exhibit three subsites for the PC moiety where hypervariable region 2 (CDR2) plays a role in the interaction with the phosphate group. Mutations in this VH region have an impact on the ability of mutant variants to bind PC and its carrier molecule, as well as on the characteristic frequency shift toward f 0.12 Hz for mutants failing to bind both hapten and carrier. The VH sequence of mutants that retain the ability to bind PC still shows f 0.37 Hz, suggesting that this frequency determines PC binding. However, this statement was not confirmed as mutation in another PC subsite impairs PC binding but retains both the phosphate-group recognition and the frequency at f 0.37 Hz. Herein, this finding is discussed to promote the idea that the VH sequence of the PC-binding antibodies encodes the subsite for phosphate-group binding as a dominant functional activity and that only CDR2 of the T15-idiotype antibodies together with FR3 region form an autonomous self-association function represented by the T15VH5073 peptide with f 0.370.05 Hz. Thus, these data confirmed that T15VH50-73 peptide might be used in superantibody technology.

AB  - Objective: We investigated the effects of bisoprolol and losartan on subjects with essential hypertension, by conducting heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of ECG signals. Our intention was to establish the set of linear and nonlinear heart rate variability parameters, which could be used as a noninvasive markers in the treatment of hypertension. Materials and Methods: Sixty subjects with essential hypertension included in this study were divided in two groups. During the four weeks medical treatment, the first group was administered with daily oral dose of 5 mg of bisoprolol and the second with daily oral dose of 50 mg of losartan. We recorded ECG signals, and performed HRV analysis of consecutive RR time intervals, before and after a month of pharmacological therapy. Results: In the case of bisoprolol, statistically the most significant changes of HRV parameters were: TP (1814.1 +/- 1731.3 ms(2) vs. 761.3 +/- 725.0 ms(2), P LT 0.0001), RR (870.2 +/- 105.7 ms vs. 1027.2 +/- 150.0 ms, P LT 0.0001), HR (70.81 +/- 8.42 bp/min vs. 60.10 +/- 9.52 bp/min, P LT 0.0001). In the case of losartan, the most significant changes were: SDNN (43.16 +/- 17.27 ms vs. 237.98 +/- 118.54 ms, P = 0.002), rmSDD (27.09 +/- 18.27 ms vs. 46.82 +/- 37.71 ms, P = 0.003), SD2 (55.18 +/- 20.6 vs. 70.67 +/- 26.12, P LT 0.019) and DF2 (0.69 +/- 0.21 vs. 0.86 +/- 0.25, P LT 0.014). Conclusion: Effects of bisoprolol and losartan were especially manifested among the set of linear HRV parameters. As a consequence of effect of losartan, we singled out the nonlinear parameters SD2 and DF2.

AB  - Biomolecular recognition is an open scientific problem, which has been investigated in many theoretical and experimental aspects. In that sense, there are encouraging results within Resonant Recognition Model (RRM), based on the finding that there is a significant correlation between spectra of the numerical presentation of amino acids in the primary structure of proteins and their biological activity. It has been found through an extensive research that proteins with the same biological function have a common frequency in their numerical spectra. This frequency was found then to be a characteristic feature for protein biological function or interaction The RRM model proposes that the selectivity of protein interactions is based on resonant energy transfer between interacting biomolecules and that this energy, electromagnetic in its nature, is in the frequency range of 10(13) to 10(15) Hz, which incorporates infra-red (IR), visible and a small portion of the ultra-violet (UV) radiation. In this paper, the quantum mechanical basis of the RRM model will be investigated using the solution in the simplified framework of Huckel-like theory of molecular orbits.

AB  - A theoretical model for calculation of equilibrium concentrations of isomeric butane molecule forms, and also the forms of hydrocarbons of the alkene series, is proposed. We considered the changes of internal rotational potential energy in respect of reaction coordinate, of rapid conversion of butane isomers from one form to another at room temperature. This is very important for better understanding of the nature of chemical reactions in butane, because the changes of internal rotational potential energy reflect conformational transitions of butane and changes of its chemical and physical properties. The presented model is based on Gribovs system of kinetic equations for isomer-isomer transitions. The canonical ensemble is used to calculate the room temperature probabilities of the rotoisomer conformational states as functions of dihedrial angle. and the obtained results are in good agreement with available ones. Also, in a sense of calculated lifetime of unstable rotoisomers ( LT 10(-10) s) our results are comparable with coupled cluster and density functional calculations on alkene derivatives.

It was found that the appearance of the central peak in the dynamic structure factor should be expected if large-polaron formation takes place. The possibility of the experimental verification of the existence of Davydov-like solitons in biological systems was discussed on the basis of these predictions.
