Optical properties of marine aerosols with varying water content at wavelengths 532 and 1064 nm, modelled with a morphologically realistic aerosol model
No full text<p>The data contain computational results obtained with the ADDA program at wavelengths 532 nm and 1064 nm, for particle sizes 0.04, 0.06, ..., 1.5 micrometers (where size = volume-equivalent dry radius), and for salt mass fractions 0.91, 0.94, 0.97, 1.00. The content of the data files is described in the README file.</p>
Analysis program of Phoenix lidar and AOD data to retrieve the dust extinction coefficient; analysis of pressure-drop events
No full text<p>The program processes data from the Phoenix lander. The main purpose is to retrieve the extinction coefficient from the lidar data (analog and photon counts) and to determine the dust-layer height. A second script analyses MET data to identify pressure-drop events as an indication for the presence of convective vortices.</p>

Crystal structure of the alkylsulfatase AtsK: Insights into the catalytic mechanism of the Fe(II) alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily
No full textMuller I, Kahnert A, Pape T, et al. Crystal structure of the alkylsulfatase AtsK: Insights into the catalytic mechanism of the Fe(II) alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. BIOCHEMISTRY. 2004;43(11):3075-3088.The alkylsulfatase AtsK from Pseudomonas putida S-313 belongs to the widespread and versatile non-heme iron(II) alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily and catalyzes the oxygenolytic cleavage of a variety of different alkyl sulfate esters to the corresponding aldehyde and sulfate. The enzyme is only expressed under sulfur starvation conditions, providing a selective advantage for bacterial growth in soils and rhizosphere. Here we describe the crystal structure of AtsK in the apo form and in three complexes: with the cosubstrate alpha-ketoglutarate, with alpha-ketoglutarate and iron, and finally with alpha-ketoglutarate, iron, and an alkyl sulfate ester used as substrate in catalytic studies. The overall fold of the enzyme is closely related to that of the taurine/alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase TauD and is similar to the fold observed for other members of the enzyme superfamily. From comparison of these structures with the crystal structure of AtsK and its complexes, we propose a general mechanism for the catalytic cycle of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily
