The Existence and Long-Time Behavior of Weak Solution to Bipolar Quantum Drift-Diffusion Model

The authors study the existence and long-time behavior of weak solutions to the bipolar transient quantum drift-diffusion model,a fourth order parabolic system.Using semi-discretization in time and entropy estimate,the authors get the global existence of nonnegative weak solutions to the one-dimensional model with nonnegative initial and homogenous Neumann(or periodic)boundary conditions.Furthermore,by a logarithmic Sobolev inequality,it is proved that the periodic weak solution exponentially approaches its mean value as time increases to infinity.     

Interaction of Chelerythrine Choloride in Acid Buffer with Calf-thymus DNA

Several benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (BPA) were found in plants of Caprifoliaceae, Fumariaceae, Meliaceae, Papaveraceae, and Ruracea families1. BPA represent a group of natural products, exhibiting multiple pharmacological properties and biological ac…     

Refolding with Simultaneous Purification of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor from Escherichia coli Using Strong Anion Exchange Chromatography

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF), a single chain polypeptidecontaining 174 amino acid residues (MW=18,800, pI=6.1), is one of the hemopoieticgrowth factors which plays an important role in stimulating proliferation, differentiation,and functional activation of bloodcells1. It contains a free cysteine at position 17 andtwo intramolecular disulfide bonds, Cys36-Cys42 and Cys64-Cys74, and the two disulfidebonds in G-CSF molecule are both required for its bioactivity2. Wh…     

Gnetuhainin P, a New Isorhapontigenin Dimer from the Lianas of Gnetum hainanense

Continuous investigation on oligostilbenes from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense resulted in the isolation of a new rhapontigenin dimer, Gnetuhainin P (1), in addition to the dimers of resveratrol and oxyresveratrol reported previously1. Gnetuhainin P (1) was obtained as a yellowish amorphous powder, [(]25D +6.6 (c 0.092, MeOH). The high resolution FABMS m/z 533.1866 [M+H]+ gave a molecular formula of C30H28O9 (C30H29O9 requires 533.1812), which corresponds to a isorhapontigenin dimer. …     

Characterization of Formation Kinetics of Self-Assembled Thiol Monolayers on Gold by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Interest in the properties of organized monolayers has grown enormously in recent years because these monolayers can provide a means to control the interface at a molecular level1. The self-assemblies of alkanethiols and their derivatives were probably the most intensively studied due to their stability, well-packed structure, ease in preparation, and flexibility in designing the tail group2. The adsorption kinetics of thiol monolayer has been studied by using several techniques, including con…     

SYNTHESIS OF A SERIES OF NOVEL ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WITH TWO-PHOTON ABSORPTION AND TWO-PHOTON PUMPED LASING

Two-photon absorption (TPA) occurs through the simultaneous absorption of two photons via virtual states in a medium. Materials with large TPA cross section are gaining increasing attention recently due to their potential applications in optical data storage, two-photon up-converted lasing, two-photon-laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, optical power limiting and photodynamic therapy1-3. Numerous organic compounds have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically in order to u…     

Novel Stereoselective Synthesis of 1,3-Dienyl Tellurides by Palladium Catalyzed Cross-coupling Reaction of (E)-β-Bromovinyl Tellurides

Conjugated dienes are valuable intermediates in organic chemistry. Many biologically active compounds occurring in nature possess the structural skeleton of conjugated dienes such as chillea amide1 and pelltoine2. Besides, the synthesis of conjugated dienes for use in the Diels-Alder reaction is still an important challenge in organic synthesis. One particularly attractive approach has been the incorporation of heteroatom substituents that can activate the diene3.Recently, we found that β-br…     

A Molecular Modeling for the Complexation of Cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) with Substituted Benzenes and Biphenyls

The molecular recognition of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), 14+, has drawn great attention recently, due to its important applications in the design and synthesis of electrochemically and chemically switchable rotaxanes, photoactive rotaxanes, and other molecular devices1. Usually, this type of molecular recognition was investigated with the methods including X-ray, NMR, UV, and IR. However, since these methods usually have difficulties in providing a detailed understanding of the energeti…     

One new bufadienolide biotransformed from cinobufagin by Cunninghamella elegans

Cunninghamella elegans has been employed for the biotransformation of cinobufagin （1） to afford one metabolites. The structure of the transformation product has been characterized as 7β,12β-dihydroxylcinobufagin （2）. Product 2 is a new compound. In vitro cytotoxic activities of the biotransformation product and the substrate-cinobufagin have been assayed against HeLa; they all showed cytotoxic activities.
