U-Th isochron ages of tufas formed on shorelines suggest that the last pluvial event in Lake Lahontan and Searles Lake was synchronous at about 16,500 cal yr B.P. (equivalent to a radiocarbon age of between 14,000 and 13,500 yr B.P.), whereas the timing of this pluvial event determined by radiocarbon dating is on the order of 1000 yr younger. The timing of seven distinct periods of near desiccation in Searles Lake during late-glacial time has been reinvestigated for U-Th age determination by mass spectrometry. U-Th dating of evaporite layers in the interbedded mud and salt unit called the Lower Salt in Searles Lake was hampered by the uncertainty in assessing the initial 230Th/232Th of the samples. The resulting ages, corrected by a conservative range of initial 230Th/232Th ratios, suggest close correlation of the abrupt changes recorded in Greenland ice cores (Dansgaard-Oeschger events) and wet–dry conditions in Searles Lake between 35,000 and 24,000 cal yr B.P.

Immunoglobulins of human heavy chain subgroup III have a binding site for Staphylococcal protein A on the heavy chain variable domain (VH), in addition to the well-known binding site on the Fc portion of the antibody. Thermodynamic characterization of this binding event and localization of the Fv-binding site on a domain of protein A is described. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to characterize the interaction between protein A or fragments of protein A and variants of the hu4D5 antibody Fab fragment. Analysis of binding isotherms obtained for titration of hu4D5 Fab with intact protein A suggests that 3–4 of the five immunoglobulin binding domains of full length protein A can bind simultaneously to Fab with a Ka of 5.5 ± 0.5 × 105 M−1. A synthetic single immunoglobulin binding domain, Z-domain, does not bind appreciably to hu4D5 Fab, but both the E and D domains are functional for hu4D5 Fab binding. Thermodynamic parameters for titration of the E-domain with hu4D5 Fab are n = 1.0 ± 0.1, Ka = 2.0 ± 0.3 × 105 M−1, and ΔH = −7.1 ± 0.4 kcal mol−1. Similar binding thermodynamics are obtained for titration of the isolated VH domain with E-domain indicating that the E-domain binding site on Fab resides within VH. E-domain binding to an IgG1 Fc yields a higher affinity interaction with thermodynamic parameters n = 2.2 ± 0.1, Ka > 1.0 × 107 M−1, and ΔH = −24.6 ± 0.6 kcal mol−1. Fc does not compete with Fab for binding to E-domain indicating that the two antibody fragments bind to different sites. Amide 1H and 15N resonances that undergo large changes in NMR chemical shift upon Fv binding map to a surface defined by helix-2 and helix-3 of E-domain, distinct from the Fc-binding site observed in the crystal structure of the B-domain/Fc complex. The Fv-binding region contains negatively charged residues and a small hydrophobic patch which complements the basic surface of the region of the VH domain implicated previously in protein A binding.
