Photoreactivation of tobacco mosaic virus and potato virus X ribonucleic acids inactivated by acetone-sensitized photoreaction

Abstract— Acetone-sensitized photoinactivation and subsequent in vivo photoreactivation of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and potato virus X (PVX) ribonucleic acids (RNA's) were demonstrated. The photoreactivable sectors were comparable to those obtained for the same RNA's irradiated at 253·7 nm. Only dimers were detected in these RNA's. Irradiation of E. coli rRNA at a higher dose indicated that photoreversible pyrimidine dimers were the main photoproducts detected in the sensitized reaction, whereas pyrimidine hydrates were formed only in negligible amounts. These results have led us to conclude that photoreversible pyrimidine dimers constitute both a lethal and photorepairable type of lesion in u.v.-damaged viral RNA.

As facile,green,low-cost as possible:One more electron-deficient azaacene (TCAF) with deep LUMO (-4.52 eV), strong electronic affinity,excellent yield,and simple purification procedure was successfully created and explored as good electron injection material.It is believed TCAF would be a promising and pervasive acceptor material and bring in more significant achievements to green and sustainable organic electronics including OLEDs,OFETs,OPVs, and perovskite solar cells,etc.     

Protein family classification and functional annotation

With the accelerated accumulation of genomic sequence data, there is a pressing need to develop computational methods and advanced bioinformatics infrastructure for reliable and large-scale protein annotation and biological knowledge discovery. The Protein Information Resource (PIR) provides an integrated public resource of protein informatics to support genomic and proteomic research. PIR produces the Protein Sequence Database of functionally annotated protein sequences. The annotation problems are addressed by a classification-driven and rule-based method with evidence attribution, coupled with an integrated knowledge base system being developed. The approach allows sensitive identification, consistent and rich annotation, and systematic detection of annotation errors, as well as distinction of experimentally verified and computationally predicted features. The knowledge base consists of two new databases, sequence analysis tools, and graphical interfaces. PIR-NREF, a non-redundant reference database, provides a timely and comprehensive collection of all protein sequences, totaling more than 1,000,000 entries. iProClass, an integrated database of protein family, function, and structure information, provides extensive value-added features for about 830,000 proteins with rich links to over 50 molecular databases. This paper describes our approach to protein functional annotation with case studies and examines common identification errors. It also illustrates that data integration in PIR supports exploration of protein relationships and may reveal protein functional associations beyond sequence homology.     

An Overview of Molecular Packing Mode in Two‐Dimensional Organic Nanomaterials via Supramolecular Assembly

Two‐dimensional (2D) organic nanomaterials are attracting increasing research interest and expected to be the ideal candidate for future‐ proofed flexible electronics and biotechnologies. Owing to the complex molecular structures and multiple intermolecular interactions in organic systems, deeper understanding of rational molecular design and assembly principles is urgently required. In this review, a collection of molecular packing mode in the 2D organic nanomaterials via supramolecular assembly is presented, so as to help explicit the relationship among molecular structures, supramolecular interactions and molecular packing motifs in 2D assembly systems. We also provide a rational and accessible schematic model to demonstrate several typical kinds of molecular packing motifs for the prediction of the 2D morphology.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PHTHALAZINONE POLY(ARYL ETHER SULFONE KETONE)WITH CARBONYL GROUP*

A kind of novel heat-resistant, high performance engineering thermoplastic phthalazinone poly(aryl ether sulfoneketone) (PPESK) containing a carboxyl group in its side chain was prepared by the nucleophilic displacement reaction of 4-(4-hydroxylphenyl)-1(2H)-phthalazinone with di(4-chlorophenyl) sulfone, 4,4'-difluoro-benzophenone and phenolphthalin insulfolane in the presence of K_2CO_3 to produce high molecular weight polymers which can be dissolved in some polarsolvents such as chloroform and nitrobenzene at room temperature and can be easily can into flexible, yellowish andtransparent films. PPESK is an amorphous polymer having a decomposition temperature above 400℃, which indicates that ithas high thermal stability. At the same time, the thermal properties of PPESKs with dicyandiamide (DICY) as curing agentindicated that the heat-resistance properties of the PPESKs are improved after curing. The apparent activation energy (ΔE) ofthe cross-linking reaction and the reaction order (n) of PPESK/DICY were found to be 52.2 kJ/mol and ca. 1.0, respectively.Therefore, the cross-linking reaction is approximately a first order reaction.
