- The critical current density (Jc) of Ag-clad Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O wire has been measured to be 1.2×104 A/cm2 at 77 K in zero field. The high Jc is attributed to a combination of elimination of the poisoning effect of Ag on superconductivity, grain alignment, and enhancement of flux pinning. Jc-H dependence was significantly improved in the Ag-clad tape, which has a Jc of 1.0×103 A /cm2 at 77 K and 4000 Oe, while the Jc of the sintered pellet drops two orders of magnitude at only 100 Oe. A pronounced anisotropy in Jc under high magnetic field is attributed to the grain alignment. Planar defects, such as heavy stacking faults parallel to the a-b plane in the rolled tape, are considered to be effective pinning centres.

- Three types of bismuth-based bulk samples were prepared through uniaxial pressing at room temperature, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and drawing and rolling. Transport current properties were characterized in a steady field up to 1.12 T at 77 K (T/T c=0.75). The Josephson weak-link decoupling fields have been found to be 5 mT for the cold-pressed pellet and 30 mT for the HIPed pellet and the rolled tape. At the decoupling field the transport critical current density,J c, drops 80% from 124 (OT) to 29 A cm-2 (5 mT) for the cold-pressed pellet, 80% from 582 (OT) to 126 A cm-2 (30 mT) for the HIPed sample and 50% from6500 (0 T) to 2850 A cm-2 (30 mT) for the rolled tape. In the flux flow regime, whereB is perpendicular to thec-axis a modified Kim's modelJ c=(α/B 0)/[(1+B/B 0)] n can be used to describe the field dependence of the critical current density, Jc, in the field range 0.2-1.12 T. The effective upper critical fields were estimated to be 0.98, 1.54 and 1.94 T for the three types of samples, respectively. An adjustable range ofB c2 for bismuth-based bulk highT c superconductors is given. Flux shear may operate in these materials. The prediction of this pinning mechanism is yielded from fitting the equation qualitatively. WhenB is parallel to thec-axis, the absence of strongly intragranular flux-pinning is emphasized by the poor flux flow regime for the rolled tape sample.

- Using quasistatic harmonic excitations, we have measured the lateral force between a permanent magnet and a Bi-based ceramic high-Tc superconductor (HTSC) for lateral displacement amplitudes down to 1 µm. We find clear evidence for a transition from elastic (nondissipative) to inelastic interaction, and attribute the effect to flux pinning. The crossover amplitude can easily reach several micrometers, with the consequence that the lateral disturbance of a levitated magnet will decay to this amplitude, whereas further damping will be extremely slow. For applications of HTSCs in magnetic bearing systems this can be a very relevant aspect of the interaction, and it can set the limit for precision positioning of levitated objects

- Using a computerized mechanical pendulum, we have studied the lateral magnetic flux motion of the Bi-based high-T c superconductors in the quasi-static magnetic field (0.1 Hz) for the range 1 μm to 0.35 mm. The effect of d.c. and a.c. transport currents on the flux motion has also been investigated. We argue that the lateral magnetic stiffness is a measure of the pinning potential of the fluxoids in the superconductors. The pinning energy barrier ε is estimated to be about 0.3 eV based on the stiffness measurements, which is comparable with the data from the YBa2Cu3O7-χ superconductors.

- DNA ANALOGUES are currently being intensely investigated owing to their potential as gene-targeted drugs1-3. Furthermore, their properties and interaction with DNA and RNA could provide a better understanding of the structural features of natural DNA that determine its unique chemical, biological and genetic properties3,4. We recently designed a DNA analogue, PNA, in which the backbone is structurally homomorphous with the deoxyribose backbone and consists of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units to which the nucleobases are attached5-9. We showed that PNA oligomers containing solely thymine and cytosine can hybridize to complementary oligonucleotides, presumably by forming Watson-Crick-Hoogsteen (PNA)2-DNA triplexes, which are much more stable than the corresponding DNA-DNA duplexes5-7, and bind to double-stranded DNA by strand displacement5,8. We report here that PNA containing all four natural nucleobases hybridizes to complementary oligonucleotides obeying the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules, and thus is a true DNA mimic in terms of base-pair recognition.

- (A)BC excinuclease of Escherichia coli is the enzymatic activity resulting from sequential and partially overlapping actions of UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC protein. UvrA is a molecular matchmaker which promotes the formation of a stable UvrB-damaged DNA complex in which the DNA is kinked by about 130 degrees. The UvrB-DNA complex is then recognized by UvrC) and two incisions are made in the DNA by the joint actions of UvrC and UvrB. A mutant of UvrB (D478A) can be loaded onto the DNA but it does not interact with UvrC to cause a nick 3' to the lesion. Based on the lack of a DNase-I-hypersensitive site in the footprint of the mutant, it was proposed that the lack of incision was due to the inability of the mutant UvrB to kink the DNA. In the current study we have investigated the interaction of the mutant UvrB with DNA using two biophysical methods, flow linear dichroism and electron microscopy. Both methods reveal that the mutant UvrB is unable to bend DNA.

DNA-BINDING AND PHOTOCLEAVAGE BY URANYL(VI) (UO2(2+)) SALTS

- The interaction of the uranyl(VI) ion (UO22+) with DNA and its light-induced cleavage of DNA has been studied using flow-linear dichroism and P-32-endlabeled oligonucleotides. It was found that binding of uranyl ion to DNA is a prerequisite for photocleavage; from run-off experiments the binding constant was estimated to be of the order of 10(10) M-1 at pH 4. The angular orientation of the [O=U=O]2+ chromophore is consistent with binding by bridging phosphate groups on opposite strands of the minor groove of DNA; at higher DNA concentration aggregation indicates intermolecular bridging as well. The uranyl-mediated photocleavage of DNA is not influenced by the presence of O2, is more efficient at low pH (
