PNPP Hydrolysis Catalyzed by Manganese(III) Complexes with Crowned Salicylaldimine Schiff Base Ligand

Four manganese(III) complexes (MnL¹Cl, MnL²Cl, MnL⁴₂Cl, MnL⁵₂Cl) with a crowned salicylaldimine Schiff base ligand have been synthesized and employed as models to mimic hydrolase in the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP). The kinetics and mechanism of catalytic PNPP hydrolysis have been investigated. The kinetic mathematical model of PNPP cleavage catalyzed by these complexes has been proposed. The effects of the ligand structure and crown ether ring in complexes, and the reactive temperature on the rate of catalytic PNPP hydrolysis have been also examined. The results show that compared with the crown-free analogous MnL³Cl and MnL⁶₂Cl, the crowned Schiff base manganese(III) complexes, MnL¹Cl, MnL²Cl, MnL⁴₂Cl and MnL⁵₂Cl, exhibit more high catalytic activity, which follow the order: MnL¹Cl >MnL²Cl >MnL⁴₂Cl >MnL⁵₂Cl >MnL³Cl >MnL⁶₂Cl; the pseudo-first-order-rate (k_obs) for the PNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complex MnL¹Cl containing three crown ether rings is highest among six complexes and is 1.81 times that of MnL³Cl, 1.49 × 10³ times that of spontaneous hydrolysis of PNPP, respectively, at pH = 7.00, [S] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol dm⁻³.

富锂掺杂Li1.06Co0.05Cr0.1Mn1.85O4的合成及电化学性能研究

锂离子电池具有比能量高、功率大、使用寿命长、无记忆效应、性能价格比高等优点,从而成为可充式电源的主要选择对象.锰由于资源丰富、价廉、环境友好等优点,使锰酸锂(LiMn2O4)成为最有希望取代钴酸锂的正极材料.但锰酸锂的放电容量相对较低,结构欠稳定,容量衰减严重,作为正极材料还无法与钴酸锂相比,近年来做了大量的研究工作以改善它的电化学性能[1～6].最近Youngjoon Shin等研究发现[7]用少量的Li与Ni共同替代LiMn2O4中的Mn得到的LiMn2-2yLiyNiyO4的电化学性能要优于单元素替代的LiMn2-xMxO4(M=Li,Cr,Fe,Co,Ni)的电化学性能.     

CH4, CO2和H2O在非金属原子修饰石墨烯表面的吸附

煤层气(矿井瓦斯)是一种有望替代传统化石燃料，如煤、石油和天然气的非常规气体. 作为可得的清洁能源，它的利用被认为是节能和经济的选择. 在本工作中，非金属原子X(X=H，O，N，S，P，Si，F，Cl)修饰的石墨烯(Gr)被用来代表具有结构异性的煤表面模型. 通过密度泛函理论系统地研究了煤层气组分Y(Y=CH₄，CO₂，H₂O)在非金属原子修饰石墨烯上的吸附作用. 结果表明Y在非金属原子修饰石墨烯上的吸附均为物理吸附. 态密度和差分电荷密度共同表明了这种弱的相互作用.其中，H和Cl对CH₄的作用较大； N、O、F、Cl对CO₂的作用较强； N，Cl对H₂O的影响不容忽视. 总的来说，吸附能大小依次为：H₂O>CO₂>CH₄. 因此，在CH₄富集的煤层里注入H₂O或CO₂可以与CH₄形成竞争吸附，进而提高煤层气采收率. 本工作提供了在分子水平下煤层气与非金属原子修饰石墨烯之间的相互作用的详情，并为煤层瓦斯的开采与分离提供了有用的信息.     

Duality and multiplication operators

We describe a space of functions contained inxxLx (D)C(D G) but not necessarily inU. We give a representation of these functions as bounded multiplication operators on the Bergman spacexxLx _a ² and identify the subspace consisting of functions which induce compact multiplication operators. We also describe a newC ^*-subalgebra ofxxLx (D) which we conjecture to be a proper super-set ofU.Most of this research was done while the second author was visiting Cleveland State University.

Amplified detection of nucleic acids and proteins using an isothermal proximity CRISPR Cas12a assay

Herein, we describe an isothermal proximity CRISPR Cas12a assay that harnesses the target-induced indiscrimitive single-stranded DNase activity of Cas12a for the quantitative profiling of gene expression at the mRNA level and detection of proteins with high sensitivity and specificity. The target recognition is achieved through proximity binding rather than recognition by CRISPR RNA (crRNA), which allows for flexible assay design. A binding-induced primer extension reaction is used to generate a predesigned CRISPR-targetable sequence as a barcode for further signal amplification. Through this dual amplification protocol, we were able to detect as low as 1 fM target nucleic acid and 100 fM target protein isothermally. The practical applicability of this assay was successfully demonstrated for the temporal profiling of interleukin-6 gene expression during allergen-mediated mast cell activation.

Herein, we develop an isothermal proximity CRISPR Cas12a assay that harnesses the target-induced collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a for the quantitative profiling of gene expression and detection of proteins with high sensitivity and specificity.
