Thin films of different thicknesses have been vacuum deposited onto clean glass plates held at room temperature using the flash evaporation technique in a vacuum of 2×10−5 Torr. The structural characterization of the bulk and the thin films was carried out using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction techniques. Electrical resistance and thermoelectric power of the films were measured in the same vacuum of 2×10−5 Torr in the temperature range 300–450 K. The conduction activation energy of the films was calculated using the electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power data of the films. The thickness dependence of the activation energy observed is attributed to the polycrystalline nature of the films. Grain growth and reorientation of the grains take place during the annealing process. The thickness dependence of electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of the films are explained by the effective mean free path model [C. R. Tellier, Thin Solid Films 51, 311 (1978)]. The important physical parameters like mean free path, Fermi energy, power index of the energy dependant expression for the mean free path, the hypothetical bulk resistivity and the thermoelectric power have been calculated by the combined analysis of electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power. The electron-phonon scattering mechanism is found to be dominant in the material. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

Thin films of Bi2Te2Se1 of various thicknesses have been deposited on clean glass plates using the flash evaporation technique. Electrical resistance and thermoelectric power measurements have been carried out on these films in the temperature range 300–485 K. The thickness dependences of electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of the films have been analyzed using the effective mean-free path model. The thickness dependence of activation energy of the films is explained by Seto's polycrystalline model. Various material parameters such as mean-free path and Fermi energy have been calculated from the analysis of experimental data. The thermoelectric power factor of the films has been calculated using the measured electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power values. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract Plant seeds contain a large number of protease inhibitors of animal, fungal, and bacterial origin. One of the well-studied families of these inhibitors is the Bowman-Birk family(BBI). The BBIs from dicotyledonous seeds are 8K, double-headed proteins. In contrast, the 8K inhibitors from monocotyledonous seeds are single headed. Monocots also have a 16K, double-headed inhibitor. We have determined the primary structure of a Bowman-Birk inhibitor from a dicot, horsegram, by sequential edman analysis of the intact protein and peptides derived from enzymatic and chemical cleavage. The 76-residue-long inhibitor is very similar to that ofMacrotyloma axillare. An analysis of this inhibitor along with 26 other Bowman-Birk inhibitor domains (MW 8K) available in the SWISSPROT databank revealed that the proteins from monocots and dicots belong to related but distinct families. Inhibitors from monocots show larger variation in sequence. Sequence comparison shows that a crucial disulphide which connects the amino and carboxy termini of the active site loop is lost in monocots. The loss of a reactive site in monocots seems to be correlated to this. However, it appears that this disulphide is not absolutely essential for retention of inhibitory function. Our analysis suggests that gene duplication leading to a 16K inhibitor in monocots has occurred, probably after the divergence of monocots and dicots, and also after the loss of second reactive site in monocots.

Abstract The (α/β)8 barrel proteins, in spite of having a common fold, do not show any sequence similarity. In order to understand the factors which are responsible for maintaining the common fold, the three-dimensional structures of 36 (α/β)8 barrel proteins are analyzed for the presence of identical amino acid clusters or physicochemically similar clusters. The results reveal 14 identical amino acid clusters and a large number of physicochemically similar clusters. Further analysis of the similar clusters points to the conservation of secondary structures, the presence of pairs of residues occupying topologically equivalent secondary structures, and the presence of certain key residues which may play a vital role in directing and stabilizing the (α/β)8 barrel fold.

Abstract An analysis of the dependence known three dimensional structure ofglobular proteins on their residue contacts and their interactions providesmuch information about their folding and stability. In this work, we analysethe residue-residue contacts and the role of medium and long rangeinteractions in globular proteins belonging to different structural classes.The results show that while medium range interactions predominate in allalpha class proteins, long range interactions predominate in all beta class.The residues Pro and Gly are found to have lowest medium range contacts,probably due to their helix breaking tendency. The hydrophobic residues Ile,Val and Tyr have higher long range contacts, and hence may serve as goodnucleation centres. Further, the role of charged residues and disulfidebridges in these interactions are also discussed.

Abstract The residue-residue contacts and the role of medium and long rangeinteractions in 36 (α/β)8 barrel proteins have beenanalysed. The influence of long range contacts in the formation ofphysico-chemically similar clusters, and the preference of amino acidresidues towards long range contacts have also been studied. Theresults reveal a nearly uniform level of medium and long rangecontacts in most of the proteins. The residues Gln and Ala havehighest medium range contacts and the residue Pro has the lowestmedium range contacts. The residue Cys has the highest long rangecontact followed by other hydrophobic residues namely Val, Ile andLeu. In the physico-chemically similar clusters identified in theseproteins, 25–40 percent residues are influenced by long rangecontacts, and the residues Cys, Ile, Val and Met are the mostpreferred ones.
