非晶态Co-B的局域电子结构的Xα原子簇计算

In the research on metallic glass, there are arguments against the "rigid band charge transfer", model which assumes a charge transfer from metalloid atoms to transition metal atoms to explain the experimental evidence of linear reduction of average atomic magnetic moment with the increasing concentration of metalloid atoms, but they could not explain the experimental relation of the reduction. In the present work, spin-polarized SCC-DV-X_a calculation for atomic clusters for metallic glass Co-B has been empoloyed to investigate the local electronic structure and magnetic property of the metallic glass. As opposed to the "rigid band charge transfer" model, calculation in the present work indicates that charge transfers from Co4s to both B and Co3d. It is found that there is Co3d4s-B2p hybird bonding in Co-B, which leads to the linear reduction of average atomic magnetic moment. Thus the explanation removes the above controversy.     

肾上腺素在脱氧核糖核酸修饰金电极上的电化学行为及铅离子的影响

用干燥／吸附法制备了脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)修饰金电极(DNA／Au)，采用循环伏安法、计时库仑法、微分脉冲伏安法、交流阻抗以及紫外光谱法研究了肾上腺素(EP)在该电极上的伏安行为及Pb^2 产生的影响。结果表明：在5mmol/L pH7．7Tris底液中，EP在DNA／Au上产生一不可逆的氧化峰(Ep＝0．16V)。该峰较EP在裸金电极上的峰(Ep＝0．11V)电位为正，灵敏度高。在有Pb^2 存在时，峰电位负移，峰高增大。微分脉冲峰高与EP浓度在0．5-75μmol/L范围内呈线性关系。氧化峰为扩散控制为主并兼有弱的吸附性。本文还探讨了其电极反应的机理，认为在无Pb^2 的情况下，EP与DNA的结合是EP嵌入DNA中为主并兼有一定程度的静电吸附。有Pb^2 存在的情况下EP是以EP-Pb^2 嵌入DNA的双螺旋结构中和通过静电吸附在DNA骨架上的Pb^2 为桥梁与DNA结合。     

Proteome analyses using accurate mass and elution time peptide tags with capillary LC time-of-flight mass spectrometry

We describe the application of capillary liquid chromatography (LC) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometric instrumentation for the rapid characterization of microbial proteomes. Previously (Lipton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2002, 99, 11049) the peptides from a series of growth conditions of Deinococcus radiodurans have been characterized using capillary LC MS/MS and accurate mass measurements which are captured as an accurate mass and time (AMT) tag database. Using this AMT tag database, detected peptides can be assigned using measurements obtained on a TOF due to the additional use of elution time data as a constraint. When peptide matches are obtained using AMT tags (i.e., using both constraints) unique matches of a mass spectral peak occurs 88% of the time. Not only are AMT tag matches unique in most cases, the coverage of the proteome is high; approximately 3500 unique peptide AMT tags are found on average per capillary LC run. From the results of the AMT tag database search, approximately 900 ORFs detected using LC-TOFMS, with approximately 500 ORFs covered by at least two AMT tags. These results indicate that AMT database searches with modest mass and elution time criteria can provide proteomic information for approximately one thousand proteins in a single run of <3 h. The advantage of this method over using MS/MS based techniques is the large number of identifications that occur in a single experiment as well as the basis for improved quantitation. For MS/MS experiments, the number of peptide identifications is severely restricted because of the time required to dissociate the peptides individually. These results demonstrate the utility of the AMT tag approach using capillary LC-TOF MS instruments, and also show that AMT tags developed using other instrumentation can be effectively utilized.     

High levels of soluble herpes virus entry mediator in sera of patients with allergic and autoimmune diseases

Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is a newly discovered member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily that has a role in herpes simplex virus entry, in T cell activation and in tumor immunity. We generated mAb against HVEM and detected soluble HVEM (SHVEM) in the sera of patients with various autoimmune diseases. HVEM was constitutively expressed on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, CD19(+) B cells, CD14(+) monocytes, neutrophils and dendritic cells. In three-way MLR, mAb 122 and 139 were agonists and mAb 108 had blocking activity. An ELISA was developed to detect sHVEM in patient sera. sHVEM levels were elevated in sera of patients with allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The mAbs discussed here may be useful for studies of the role of HVEM in immune responses. Detection of soluble HVEM might have diagnostic and prognostic value in certain immunological disorders.

Regiospecific photoisomerization of fluorinated (E,E)-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadienes

Photoisomerization of five fluorinated E,E-1-(R-phenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-butadienes in solution (R = 1: p-monofluoro, 2: m,m′-difluoro, 3: m,m′,p-trifluoro, 4: o,o′,m,m′-tetrafluoro, 5: o,o′,m,m′,p-pentafluoro) was investigated via direct irradiation. Our results indicated that cis-trans photoisomerization of the fluorinated 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadienes in the excited singlet state took place exclusively at the CC bonds closer to the fluorine substituents.     

RATE OF INTRA-MOLECULAR CONTACT FORMATION IN SHORT TWO-DIMENSIONAL COMPACT POLYMERS CHAINS

It is important to know the rate of intra-molecular contact formation in proteins in order to understand how proteins fold clearly. Here we investigate the rate of intra-molecular contact formation in short two-dimensional compact polymer chains by calculating the probability distribution p(r) of end-to-end distance r using the enumeration calculation method and HP model on two-dimensional square lattice. The probability distribution of end-to-end distance p(r) of short two-dimensional compact polymers chains may consist of two parts, i.e. p(r) = p1(r) p2(r), where p1(r) and p2(r) are different for small r. The rate of contact formation decreases monotonically with the number of bonds N, and the rate approximately conforms to the scaling relation of k(N) ∝ N-α. Here the value of α increases with the contact radius a and it also depends on the percentage of H (hydrophobic) residues in the sequences of compact chains and the energy parameters of εHH, εHP and εPP . Some comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental results are also made. This investigation may help us to understand the protein folding.     

LC-ESI-MS Determination of Bilobalide and Ginkgolides in Canine Plasma

A sensitive and selective method using liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometric detection was developed for the quantification of bilobalide and ginkgolides in canine plasma. The analytes were extracted with diethyl ether-dichloromethane-isopropanol (6:3:1, v/v) after spiking the samples with daidzein (internal standard). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of the method was 2.5 μg L⁻¹ for ginkgolide B and 10.0 μg L⁻¹ for bilabolide, ginkgolide A and ginkgolide C. The accuracy of the method was within 15% of the actual values over a wide range of plasma concentrations. The intra-day and inter-day precision was better than 15% (R.S.D.). Finally, the LC-ESI-MS method was successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetics of ginkgolides and bilabolide after administration of Ginkgo biloba extracts to dogs.
