Geometrical structure of yttrium and metal-bromine complexes in solution: limitations of extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis (EXAFS)

An extensive study on the appearance of multi-electron features in the X-ray absorption spectra of several yttrium(III)-based compounds has been performed. The existence of a multi-electron transition of non-negligible intensity within the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) region of the Y K-edge spectra has been proven. The impact of such features in the EXAFS analysis is made evident for aqueous solutions of YBr3 x 6H2O in liquid and glassy states in the concentration range 0.005-2.0 M, in which this transition induces an overestimation in the coordination numbers derived from EXAFS. We have performed theoretical computation of cross-sections for the double-electron processes at the K-edge of both Y and Br. These computations have been applied to the experimental EXAFS K-edge spectra of both Y and Br in several solids and in aqueous solutions. While in the case of Y K-edge spectra the presence of such multi-electron transitions was seen to seriously affect the standard EXAFS analysis, its influence in the case of Br K-edge spectra was determined to be negligible.

Physico-chemical characterization of liposomes with covalently attached hepatitis A VP3(101-121) synthetic peptide.

The covalent conjugation of a 20-mer peptide belonging to the VP3 capsid protein of hepatitis A virus to the surface of preformed liposomes was investigated. Three different bonds (disulfide, thioether and amide) were established between the peptide sequence and liposomes bearing at their surface appropriate reactive groups. The effect of the relative concentration of the N-[4-(p-maleimidophenyl)butyryl]dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine anchor in liposomes on stability during coupling of the peptide sequence was studied. The interaction of the three liposomal preparations with phospholipids in a biomembrane model system, monolayers at the air-water interface, is also reported. The results showed that although the peptides associate with liposomes in similar yields for the three strategies studied, differences can be observed when their interaction with phospholipid monolayers composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is analysed.

Synthesis, structure and X-ray excited luminescence of Ce-doped AREP2O7-type alkali rare earth diphosphates (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs; RE=Y, Lu)

The crystal structures of five new alkali rare earth diphosphates were obtained by Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles, including four alkali lutetium diphosphates ALuP₂O₇ (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) and the low temperature phase of KYP₂O₇. The scintillation properties of Ce³⁺-doped AREP₂O₇ (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs; RE=Y, Lu) powder samples were studied under static and pulsed X-ray excitations, and featured outstanding scintillation properties with light yields 1–2 times of that of Bi₄(GeO₄)₃ and relatively short decay time of 20–28 ns. Considering the suitable emission wavelength range, large light yield, short decay time, and non-hygroscopic nature, Ce³⁺-doped AREP₂O₇-type alkali rare earth diphosphates are potential candidates for high-counting-rate scintillation applications.     

A new approach to qualitative analysis of organophosphorus pesticide residues in cucumber using a double gas chromatographic system: GC-pulsed-flame photometry and retention time locking GC-mass spectrometry

A qualitative method for the screening of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) that could present in different types of vegetables has been established and validated. A typical multi-residue extraction procedure of OPs using ethyl acetate and sodium sulphate has been applied. No clean-up was required after extraction, and concentrated extracts were analysed by gas chromatography with pulsed-flame photometric detection (GC-PFPD). Confirmation of compound identities was performed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MSD) in the electron impact (EI) mode with full scan acquisition. Retention time locking (RTL) software was used in order to improve the method capability of identification and confirmation. Spiked samples at pesticide concentrations equal to the maximum residue level (MRL) were used to check chromatographic performance and for validation studies. The proposed method allows a rapid and accurate identification of the studied OPs until the ng ml(-1) range for those whose use is forbidden, and above their MRL concentration for the rest.     

邻菲啰啉对固定尿酸酶催化反应动力学的影响

The activation energy of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction for uric acid decreases markedly in the presence of o-phenanthroline, which activates the bioelectrochemicla activity of the polypyrrole uricase electrode. The response current of the enzyme electrodeis independent of the concentration of o-phenanthroline. Based on the experimental results, the mechamsm of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction for uric acid in the presence of o-phenanthroline is presented as follows: E+A→EA, EA+S EAS, EAS→EA+P, where E, A, S and P are the enzyme, activator, substrate and product, respectively. The effects of pH value, potential and the uric acid concentration on the response currents of the uricase electrode have been studied in the presence of o-phenanthroline. In the presence of o-phenanthroline, the response current of the enzyme electrode increase linearly with increasing concentration of uric acid in the region of 0.07 to 0.67 mmol·L~(-1), therefore the polypyrrole uricase electrode which has once lost its activity can be activated and used again to determine the substrate concentration.
