紫细菌B800缺失LH2能量传递模型的构建及性质

构建B800缺失LH2对于阐明光合作用中光能传递的分子机制与捕光复合体组装机制具有重要意义。采用吸收光谱、荧光光谱、分子筛层析、超滤和SDS-PAGE等方法研究了紫细菌两个典型种外周捕光复合体 (LH2) 约800 nm特征光谱 (B800) 细菌叶绿素 (BChl) 缺失能量传递模型的构建方法及性质。结果表明：在pH 8.0 Tris-HCl(10 mmol·L-1) 缓冲液中,0.08% SDS能够使来自Rhodobacter azotoformans的LH2 B800 BChl特异性解离,解离体系中加入10%(φ) 甲醇,通过超滤脱除游离BChl,构建了B800缺失LH2,但该缺失模型不够稳定。在pH 1.9缓冲液中,来自Rhodopseudomonas palustris的LH2 B800 BChl能够特异性解离,通过层析得到两个组分。一个组分的B800 BChl不能通过层析脱除,能够重新自组装成LH2。另一个组分为B800缺失LH2,该缺失模型稳定。两种LH2均存在2类以上B800 BChl结合位点,并得到了两类Rhodopseudomonas palustris B800 BChl解离的LH2,但未发现类似紫色硫细菌中的B800吸收光谱劈裂现象。B800缺失LH2均未呈现约800 nm特征荧光光谱。采用两种方法构建了两个物种B800缺失LH2能量传递模型。利用BChl与缺失B800 LH2结合能力不同的特性,将Rhodopseudomonas palustris中的LH2分成两个类型,实现了异质性亚基LH2的分离。     

Influence of LDAO on the conformation and release of bacteriochlorophyll of peripheral light-harvesting complex (LH2) from Rhodobacter azotoformans

The aim of this study is to reveal the interaction relationships between lauryl dimethylamine N-oxide (LDAO) and peripheral light-harvesting complex (LH2) as well as the influence of LDAO on structure and function of LH2. In the present work, the effects of LDAO on the conformation and release processes of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) of LH2 when incubated under different temperature and pH in the presence and absence of LDAO were investigated by spectroscopy. The results indicated that (1) the presence of LDAO resulted in alterations in the conformation, alpha-helix content, and spectra of Tyr and B850 band of LH2 at room temperature and pH 8.0. Moreover, energy transfer efficiency of LH2 was enhanced markedly in the presence of LDAO. (2) At 60 degrees C, both the B800 and B850 band of LH2 were released and transited into free BChl at pH 8.0. However, the release rates of bacteriochlorophylls of B800 and B850 band from LH2 were slowed down and the release processes were changed when incubated in the presence of LDAO. Hence, the stability of LH2 was improved in the presence of LDAO. (3) The accelerated release processes of bacteriochlorophylls of B800 and B850 band of LH2 were induced to transform into bacteriopheophytin (BPhe) and free BChl by LDAO in strong acid and strong alkalic solution at room temperature. However, the kinetic patterns of the B800 and B850 band were remarkably different. The release and self-assemble processes of B850 in LH2 were observed in strong acid solution without LDAO. Therefore, the different release behaviors of B800 and B850 of LH2 are induced by LDAO under different extreme environmental conditions.     

紫细菌捕光天线LH2中的超快光物理研究

采用飞秒泵浦探测技术研究了紫细菌外周捕光天线LH2中的超快光动力学过程.从B800蓝侧的激发态动力学中观察到B800到B850的能量传递时间,实验结果与理论计算结果的差别说明激发B800时可能引起B850上激子带的直接激发,或存在由B800到B850上激子态的能量传递通道.在B800红侧激发的动力学过程中,漂白信号前端存在的一个快速光吸收信号主要来源于B850上激子带的直接激发.在天然RS601和突变体GM309的LH2中,800 nm激发时的动力学过程都表现为一个类似的光漂白过程,动力学曲线的衰减时间常量在天然LH2中明显快于突变体中,说明在GM309中B800到B850的激发能传递速率有所降低.而在845 nm激发下两个样品中的快过程类似,但慢过程在GM309中有所增快,激发态中的能量重新分布包括逆向的能量传递也受到类胡萝卜素微结构的影响.

Effect of the mutation of carotenoids on the dynamics of energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes （LH2） from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 601 at room temperature

Energy transfers in two kinds of peripheral light-harvesting complexes (LH2) of {Rhodobacter sphaeroides} (RS) 601 are studied by using femtosecond pump--probe spectroscopy with tunable laser wavelength at room temperature. These two complexes are native LH2 (RS601) and green carotenoid mutated LH2 (GM309). The obtained results demonstrate that, compared with spheroidenes with ten conjugated double bonds in native RS601, carotenoid in GM309 containing neurosporenes with nine conjugated double bonds can lead to a reduction in energy transfer rate in the B800-to-B850 band and the disturbance in the energy relaxation processes within the excitonic B850 band.     

Exciton delocalization probed by excitation annihilation in the light-harvesting antenna LH2

Singlet-singlet annihilation is used to study exciton delocalization in the light harvesting antenna complex LH2 (B800-B850) from the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The characteristic femtosecond decay constants of the high intensity isotropic and the low intensity anisotropy kinetics of the B850 ring are related to the hopping time tau(h) and the coherence length N(coh) of the exciton. Our analysis yields N(coh) = 2.8+/-0.4 and tau(h) = 0.27+/-0.05 ps. This approach can be seen as an extension to the concept of the spectroscopic ruler.     

Local crystallization in an oxyfluoride glass doped with Er3+ ions using a continuous argon laser

Local crystalline formation in erbium doped oxyfluoride glass has been obtained under a cw Argon laser irradiation up to 1.8 W pumping power. By exciting at 514 nm, the emission from 800 nm and 850 nm corresponding to the ⁴S_3/2(²H_11/2)→⁴I_13/2 electronic transitions have been analyzed both inside and outside the irradiated area. The changes in the emission spectra indicate that the high power Ar laser irradiation has resulted in a localized desvitrification process. The temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratio of the 800 nm and 850 nm emission bands has been used to determine the temperature of the irradiated zone. Moreover, the average lifetime of the ⁴S_3/2(²H_11/2) thermalized levels have been measured as a function of the excitation spot position. An important decrease is observed at the irradiated area. These results confirm that a localized cristalline phase has been created by the laser action.     

Structural phase transitions of the Si(100) surface

A Monte Carlo study of the structural phase transitions on the Si(100) surface for both the “(2×1)” and “c(2×2)” reconstruction families is carried out using the asymmetric dimer model. A second order phase transition is observed at about 250 K from a p(2×2) (layered antiferromagnetic) to a disordered (paramagnetic) state in the “2×1” family. A similar transition is observed about 800 K from a c(2×2) (ferromagnetic) to a disordered state in the “c(2×2)” family. These results are in agreement with real-space renormalization group results. The variation of the specific heat, susceptability and the absolute value of the order parameter as a function of temperature is obtained in the range 200 to 300 K for the “2×1” family and 750 to 850 K for the “c(2×2)” family. Also, the order parameter correlation function is computed for ten different temperatures in the above ranges.

Enhancing high-order above-threshold dissociation of H2+ beams with few-cycle laser pulses

High-order (three-photon or more) above-threshold dissociation (ATD) of H(2)(+) has generally not been observed using 800 nm light. We demonstrate a strong enhancement of its probability using intense 7 fs laser pulses interacting with beams of H(2)(+), HD(+), and D(2)(+) ions. The mechanism invokes a dynamic control of the dissociation pathway. These measurements are supported by theory that additionally reveals, for the first time, an unexpectedly large contribution to ATD from highly excited electronic states.

ZnO薄膜微结构变化对光电特性的影响

使用脉冲激光淀积(PLD)技术在n型Si衬底上沉积氧化锌(ZnO)薄膜,在O2气氛下对样品进行了500℃(Sample1,S1),600℃(Sample2,S2),700℃(Sample3,S3)和800℃(Sample4,S4)退火,随后进行了X射线衍射(XRD)谱,椭偏光折射率,热激电流(TSC)和电容-电压(C-V)的测量。研究发现:S1中晶界的电子陷阱由高浓度的深能级杂质(Zni)提供的电子填充,该能级位于ET=EC-0.24±0.08eV。S3中出现与中性施主(D0)有关的深能级中心,其ET=EC-0.13±0.03eV,推测D0的出现与高温氧气条件退火下晶界处形成的复合体缺陷有关。XRD和椭偏光折射率测量结果表明:氧气对ZnO薄膜微结构的修饰是改变ZnO/Si结构光电特性的主要因素。

The Radial Hamiltonians for the X(1)Sigma(+) and B(1)Sigma(+) States of HCl

All literature vibration-rotational and pure rotational transition energies for the ground X(1)Sigma(+) electronic state of H(35)Cl, H(37)Cl, D(35)Cl, and D(37)Cl, along with the entire collection of electronic B(1)Sigma(+) --> X(1)Sigma(+) emission data for the four isotopomers, have been used in a least-squares fit of compact analytic Born-Oppenheimer potential functions for the B(1)Sigma(+) and X(1)Sigma(+) electronic states. Additional functions related to the adiabatic and nonadiabatic corrections have also been determined. Separate least-squares fits were made according to the hamiltonian operators of J. K. G. Watson (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 80, 411 (1980)) and R. M. Herman and J. F. Ogilvie (Adv. Chem. Phys. 103, 187 (1998)). The results from the separate analyses demonstrate clearly that the two hamiltonian operators are essentially equivalent, both achieving equally satisfactory representations of the spectral data, and furnishing virtually identical Born-Oppenheimer potential functions. Fully quantum-mechanical vibrational eigenvalues and rotational perturbation series parameters B(v)-O(v) are presented for the lower levels of the X(1)Sigma(+) ground state for which infrared and/or microwave data are available (v" 相似文献   

Gold and platinum diffusion: The key to the understanding of intrinsic point defect behavior in silicon

The study of gold and platinum diffusion is found to allow the separate observation of the intrinsic point defects, i.e., of silicon self-interstitials and of vacancies. The diffusion of gold in float zone (FZ) silicon is found to be dominated by the kick-out mechanism for temperatures of 800° C and higher. The diffusion of platinum in FZ silicon is described by the kick-out mechanism for temperatures above approximately 900° C, whereas for temperatures below approximately 850° C the dissociative mechanism governs platinum diffusion. As a result of numerical simulations, we suggest a complete and consistent set of parameters which describes the diffusion of platinum in silicon in the temperature range from 700° C to 950° C and the diffusion of gold in the temperature range from 800° C to 1100° C. The generation or recombination of self-interstitials and vacancies is found to be ineffective at least below 850° C. The concentration of substitutional platinum is determined by the initial concentration of vacancies at diffusion temperatures below 850° C. Platinum diffusion below 850°C can be used to measure vacancy distributions in silicon quantitatively.     

Unoccupied electronic structure of TiOCl studied using x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy

We study the unoccupied electronic structure of the spin-1/2 quantum magnet TiOCl using x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) at the Ti L and O K edges. We acquire data both in total electron and fluorescence yield modes (TEY and FY, respectively). While only the latter allows us to access the unconventional low-temperature spin-Peierls (SP) phase of TiOCl, the signal is found to suffer from significant self-absorption in this case. Nevertheless, we conclude from FY data that effects of the SP distortion on the electronic structure are absent in the incommensurate intermediate phase within experimental accuracy. The similarity of room-temperature FY and TEY data, the latter not being obscured by self-absorption, allows us to use TEY spectra for comparison with simulations. These are performed by means of cluster calculations in D(4h) and D(2h) symmetries using two different codes. We extract values of the crystal-field splitting and parameterize our results using the commonly seen notation of Slater, Racah and Butler. In all cases, good agreement with published values from other studies is found.     

Effect of Ni and Co impurities on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of BCC iron

A theory of disordered binary alloys A_xB_1−x (A=Ni, Co; B=Fe; x0.06) is used to determine the changes in the electronic structure and magnetic properties of body centered cubic (BCC) iron induced by doping with nickel and cobalt impurities. This approximation is an extension of the cluster-Bethe lattice method, in which we incorporate electronic correlations, itinerant and localized nature of electrons 3d, and both long-range and short-range chemical correlations. The magnetism is described by means of a Hubbard Hamiltonian that in conjunction with Green's functions techniques is used to calculate local densities of electronic states. For it we take an atom in the real lattice and it is joined to a Bethe's lattice with like coordination number. The magnetic moments on sites occupied for A and B atoms are obtained self-consistently. Nickel and cobalt impurities in BCC iron can provide crucial information on the modification of the electronic band structure and magnetic moments from pure Fe. The results obtained are compared with those of both pure Fe and binary alloys of Co–Fe and Ni–Fe, which have been obtained by other authors using methods such as: first-principles electronic structure calculations using the layer Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (KKR), the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method, the KKR coherent potential approximation combined with the local-density functional method and by the tight-binding linear-muffin-tin orbitals method, obtained good agree. These results and other that recently we have published indicate to us that our methodology can be a new alternative for calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of impurities and alloys of ferromagnetic transition metals.     

Pt-Re small cluster interaction with H2

The interaction of small Pt-Re clusters with H₂ is reported here through ab initio multicon-figuration self-consistent field (MC-SCF) calculations, plus extensive multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI), variational and perturbative calculations. These calculations provide a cluster model for the activation of hydrogen by Pt-Re bimetallic catalysts. It was found that the ⁶S(5d⁵6s²) Re atom ground state needs an important activation to induce very weak capture of separated hydrogen atoms, whereas in the lowest excited states the activation energies are small or zero, with a very reasonable depth of well. The four lowest states of Pt-Re were found to be ⁴ Σ⁺, ⁶Π_yz, ^{Σ +} and ⁶Π_xz. Pt-Re interaction with H₂ has been studied from both metal ‘sides’. It was established that Pt-Re with the platinum side in the ground electronic ⁴Σ⁺ state and in the lowest ⁶Π⁺ excited states is able to capture H₂ molecules without activation, whereas in the ⁶Π_yz and ⁶Π_xz excited states there is no capture. The rhenium side of Pt-Re in its four lowest states considered cannot capture the H₂ molecule. The interaction of Pt₂-Re with H₂ was studied also. For the ground ²B₂ electronic state and the low lying ²A₁ electronic state the platinum moiety can spontaneously capture and break H₂. The rhenium side of Pt₂-Re(B₂), however, can capture H₂ only after surmounting a small barrier, and the excited Pt₂-Re(²A₁) can spontaneously capture H₂. For Pt₂-Re in its low lying ⁴A₁ electronic state both metal sides capture and break H₂ after surmounting a small barrier.
