基于G-四链体/硫黄素T的荧光生物传感器检测Pb^(2+)北大核心CSCD

本研究利用Pb^(2+)与硫黄素T(ThT)对功能核酸G-四链体(G4)中心位点的竞争关系,构建了一种荧光生物传感器用于Pb^(2+)的简单灵敏检测。ThT可以特异性结合G4,且在结合后显示出明显的荧光信号。Pb^(2+)能与G4形成更稳定的结构,故而当溶液中存在Pb^(2+)时,ThT会从G4-ThT体系中被竞争释放出来,失去受G4束缚状态下的刚性结构,从而降低了其荧光强度。在最优条件下,该体系荧光信号与Pb^(2+)浓度在5~1000 nmol/L范围内呈现良好的线性关系,检测限为1.6 nmol/L,同时实现对中药材独活中Pb^(2+)含量的加标测定。方法具有操作简便、响应快速以及高选择性超灵敏的特点,在Pb^(2+)检测方面有良好的应用潜力。     

基于酶辅助靶标循环的适体传感器灵敏检测中药中黄曲霉毒素B1

该文基于酶辅助靶标循环信号放大策略构建了用于黄曲霉毒素B1(AFB1)高灵敏检测的化学发光适体传感器。以G-四链体/氯化血红素DNA酶为信号分子设计了免标记的适体探针H1-S1和发夹探针H2。适体探针结合目标AFB1,在核酸外切酶I辅助下,触发靶标循环反应产生发夹H1。发夹H1与H2杂交,释放出完整的G-四链体序列,并进一步与氯化血红素结合形成G-四链体/氯化血红素DNA酶。DNA酶通过催化氧化鲁米诺-H2O2化学发光体系产生化学发光信号,实现AFB1的放大检测。在最优实验条件下,化学发光强度与AFB1质量浓度的对数在0.001~100 ng/mL范围内呈良好的线性关系,相关系数(r2)为0.9955,检出限为0.93 pg/mL,回收率为93.7%~107%。该适体传感器操作简单、灵敏度高、特异性好,在黄曲霉毒素污染检测方面具有良好的应用前景。     

基于脂质体-DNA复合体的“条形码分子开关”及其生物识别功能

构建了一种由DNA链和大单室囊泡(GUV,Giant unilamellar vesicles)组装成的具有智能靶向功能的复合体(GUV-DNA)。该复合体的粒径分布及形态学大小可以通过动态光散射(DLS)技术、表面Zeta电位及暗场显微镜进行测定及观察。组装后的GUV-DNA复合体可以藏匿靶向基团于高分子结构中;而该结构中的"立足点"(Toehold)序列使外源性的另一条寡核苷酸链能够通过DNA链置换反应竞争性地将靶向基团暴露于环境中,从而实现该结构的核酸敏感型变化。荧光共振能力转移(FRET)技术及生物素-亲和素(Biotin-avidin)捕获法阐明了该结构中的碱基配对"条形码"序列可以确保只有特异性的寡核苷酸序列能够"打开"复合体,从而暴露靶向基团。所构建的GUV-DNA复合体可以实现程序化的"开启"功能,从而释放藏匿于其中的生物靶向功能基团。

Toughening of polycarbonate through reactive melt blending: Effect of hydroxyl content and viscosity of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethysiloxane

In this study, four hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes(PDMSOH) with different viscosities and hydroxyl contents were used to improve the toughness of polycarbonate(PC) through reactive melt blending. A largely improved toughness of PC has been achieved, and the low temperature toughness of PC/PDMSOH blends could overtake that of PC homopolymer in much higher temperatures(e.g.-10 °C versus 23 °C). Moreover, it was found that the more the hydroxyl content, the less the PDMSOH was needed to reach the highest toughness, suggesting that equivalent molar ratio between the carbonyl group content of PC and the hydroxyl group content of PDMSOH was required for the toughening of PC. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to analyze the possible reaction between PC and PDMSOH. Contact angle was measured to assess the change of interfacial interaction between PC and PDMSOH as change of viscosity and hydroxyl content. The formation of PC-co-PDMSOH copolymer was believed to be the key for the toughening effect. This work gives a profound recommendation of the optimum kind and dosage of PDMSOH which should be used to improve the toughness of PC and will find immediate industrial applications.     

Microstructure characterization of short-chain branching polyethylene with differential scanning calorimetry and successive selfnucleation/annealing thermal fractionation

A series of the copolymers of ethylene with 1-hexene(M1–M9) synthesized by metallocene catalyst Et[Ind]2ZrCl2/MAO was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and successive self-nucleation and annealing(SSA) thermal fractionation. The distribution of methylene sequence length(MSL) in the different copolymers was determined using the SSA method. The comonomer contents of samples M4 and M5 are 2.04 mol% and 2.78 mol%, respectively. Both M4 and M5 have low comonomer content and their MSL distribution profiles exhibit a monotonous increase trend with their MSL. The longest MSL of M5 is 167, and its corresponding molar percent is 43.95%, which is higher than that of M4. Moreover, the melting temperature(Tm) of M5 is also higher than that of M4. The comonomer contents of samples M7, M8, and M9 are 8.73 mol%, 14.18 mol% and 15.05 mol%, respectively. M7, M8, and M9 have high comonomer contents, and their MSL distribution profiles display unimodality. M7 has a lower peak value of 33 and a narrow MSL distribution, resulting in a Tm lower than that of M8 and M9. The MSL and its distribution are also key points that influence the melting behavior of copolymers. Sometimes, MSL and its distribution of copolymers have a greater impact on it than the total comonomer contents, which is different from traditional views.     

Fe~(3+)诱导全氟羧酸的光化学降解:pH值及链长的影响

以全氟辛酸(PFOA)为代表的全氟化合物是环境水体中新出现的一类持久性有机污染物,Fe3+的存在促进了其在254 nm紫外光下的有效降解.在此基础上,主要考察了溶液初始pH值对Fe3+诱导PFOA光化学降解的影响,并以全氟丁酸(PFBA)、全氟戊酸(PFPeA)、全氟己酸(PFHxA)和全氟庚酸(PFHpA)为对象,研究了Fe3+诱导短链全氟羧酸(PFCAs)的降解,通过对降解中间产物的分析,进而推断了其降解机理.结果表明,强酸性条件有利于PFOA的降解,弱酸性或中性反应条件下,PFOA的降解和脱氟均受到明显地抑制,进一步证实PFOA的降解主要是溶解性铁作用的结果,此时Fe(OH)2+则是铁(III)-羟基配合物的主要分配形态.Fe3+诱导PFCAs的降解表明:当碳原子数大于5,长链的PFCAs更易于降解,但对于碳原子数小于6的PFCAs,其降解没有明显的规律.降解中间产物主要是链更短的PFCAs,由此推断,PFCAs的降解遵循逐级降解的规律.     

烷基链工程对两亲有机半导体热力学性能影响的研究

Due to their special polar structure, amphiphilic molecules are simple to process, low in cost and excellent in material properties. Thus, they can be widely applied in the preparation of functional film materials and bionics related to cell membranes. Therefore, amphiphilic organic semiconductor materials are receiving increasing attention in research and industrial fields. The structure of organic amphiphilic semiconductor molecules usually consists of three functional parts: a hydrophilic group, a hydrophobic group, and a linking group between them. The adjustment of their correlation to achieve the target performance is particularly important and needs experimental discussion regarding synthetic methodologies. In this work, we focused on the engineering of a substituent alkyl-chain, and an amphiphilic functional molecule (benzo[b]benzo[4, 5] thieno[2, 3-d]thiophene, named C_nPA-BTBT, n = 3–11) was proposed and synthesized. This molecule links the hydrophobic semiconductor backbone and hydrophilic polar group through alkyl chains of different lengths. Fundamental properties were investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) to conform the structure and the band gap properties of the designed organic semiconductor. Thermodynamic features were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and corresponding differential thermal gravity (DTG), which indicate that the functional molecule C_nPA-BTBT (n = 3–11) has a great stability in ambient conditions. Moreover, the results show that the binding ability of the amphiphilic molecule to water molecules was regulated by the odd-even alternating effect of the alkyl chain and the intramolecular coupling with BTBT. Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM) were used to study the material properties in detail. As the length of the alkyl chain increased, the functional molecule C_nPA-BTBT (n = 3–11) gradually changed from "hard" species with no thermodynamic changes to a transition one with a pair of thermodynamic peaks, and eventually to a "soft" one as a typical liquid crystal with clear observation of Maltese-cross spherulites. The cooling and freezing points were further studied, and the values and trends of their enthalpy and corresponding temperature fluctuated and alternated due to the volume effect, odd-even alternating effect, flexibility, and other functions of the alkyl chain. Three molecular models were proposed according to the thermodynamic study results, namely the brick-like model, transition model, and liquid crystal model. This work presents in-depth discussion on material structure and corresponding thermodynamic properties, and it is an experimental basis for the design, synthesis, optimization, and screening of target performance materials.
