We have examined the autoionization spectrum of xenon by resonantly enhanced three-photon ionization (2 + 1 REMPI) involving intermediate states 5p6p [J = 0, 2]. The properties of the observed autoionization resonances change significantly with the choice of the intermediate state. For ionization via an intermediate state with predominantly 5p(P3/2) core character, a strong continuum with embed...

In this paper we study homogeneous Gibbs measures on a Cayley tree, subjected to an infinite-temperature Glauber evolution, and consider their (non-)Gibbsian properties. We show that the intermediate Gibbs state (which in zero field is the free-boundary-condition Gibbs state) behaves different from the plus and the minus state. E.g. at large times, all configurations are bad for the intermediat...

The reaction of fully reduced soluble bovine heart cytochrome oxidase with O2 at 173K was investigated by low-temperature optical and e.p.r. spectroscopy, and the kinetics of the reaction were analysed by non-linear optimization techniques. The only e.p.r. signals seen during the course of the reaction are those attributable to low-spin cytochrome a3+ and CuA2+. Quantitative analysis of e.p.r. ...

Cyt2Aa2 is a cytolytic toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis. Its active form has a lethal activity against specific mosquito larvae. We characterized an unfolding pathway of Cyt2Aa2 using a guanidinium hydrochloride denaturation. The results revealed three-state transition with a detectable intermediate in a condition with 3-4M of GuHCl. The conformational free energies for n...

We analyze oscillations of intermediate neutrinos in terms of scattering of particles described by Gaussian wave packets. We study a scalar model as in the previous paper (I) but in realistic situations, where two particles of the initial state and final state are wave packets and neutrinos are in the intermediate state. The oscillation of the intermediate neutrino is found from the time evolut...

F(1)-ATPase is a rotary molecular motor that makes 120 degrees stepping rotations, with each step being driven by a single-ATP hydrolysis. In this study, a new reaction intermediate of F(1)-ATPase was discovered at a temperature below 4 degrees C, which makes a pause at the same angle in its rotation as when ATP binds. The rate constant of the intermediate reaction was strongly dependent on tem...
