The electrochemical oxidation of the cysteine‐quinone adduct has been examined as a means of providing an electroanalytical cysteine specific detection protocol. The appliance of square‐wave voltammetry allowed 0.5 μM as a limit of detection. The effects of various biologically relevant interferences including other thiols were studied and found to present no change in the voltammetric profile. The practical applicability and efficiency of the methodology was probed through the determination of cysteine concentration in growth tissue medium. 相似文献
The first example of using a copper microelectrode array for use in electroanalysis is explored and exemplified with the electroanalytical quantification of nitrate. The analytical approach is based upon the in situ deposition of copper at a boron‐doped diamond (BDD) microelectrode array. The immobilized copper layer is electrocatalytic for nitrate reduction and exhibits an analytically useful range from 1.2 to 124 μM with a marked selectivity for nitrate ion over nitrate, with a limit of detection of 0.76 μM. The analytical applicability was examined through standard addition determinations of nitrate in drinking and river water samples. 相似文献
In this work, a combination of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) microchip system with capillary array electrophoresis (CAE) is demonstrated as a system for optimizing conditions for enzymatic reaction. Dimethylacridinone (DDAO)-phosphate substrate and alkaline phosphatase conjugate were selected for the enzymatic reaction, which was applicable to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Laser-induced fluorometry with a miniature semiconductor laser was used to detect the enzymatic products. The speed of the enzymatic reaction between the DDAO-phosphate and the alkaline phosphatase conjugate was investigated as a function of reaction time. The microchip-CAE detection system could determine the pH condition and the concentration of enzyme that are suitable for rapid and low-cost analysis. This result shows the feasibility of using the microchip-CAE system for application to miniaturized screening systems. 相似文献
Photoelectron spectroscopy, in particular the angular resolved photoemission excited by ultraviolet radiation (ARUPS), provides the most direct experimental information about the electron structure of crystals, both of the bulk and of the low-index surfaces. The sensitivity of the method, as well as its difficulties, when applied to GaAs/AlAs superlattices are described. The new periodicity of these man-made crystals in the direction of their growth (e.g., in the layer-by-layer growth in molecular beam epitaxy), is responsible for opening of the new energy gaps (so-called minigaps) in the electron energy bands of crystals forming the superlattice. In addition to the well-known confinement of electrons at the valence and conduction band edges in long-period superlattices, the electron confinement to the interfaces has also been found in the vicinity of minigaps in short-period superlattices. The role of this confinement in the intensities of electrons photoemitted from superlattice surfaces is discussed. Superlattices with different thicknesses in the topmost layers represent systems with a simple change of the surface atomic structure. The predictions of one-dimensional models about a change of the surface-state energy within the band gap with a change of crystal potential termination are tested for the ideally terminated (1 0 0) surface of a very thin superlattice (GaAs)2(AlAs)2. The results of the energy distributions of photoemitted electrons, calculated in the one-step model of photoemission, show that the ARUPS experimental observation of surface-state shifts should be possible, at least in larger minigaps. The results indicate the possibility of a straightforward tuning of the electronic structure of the superlattice surface by geometrical means. 相似文献

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were used to investigate the possibility of detecting aniline by linear-sweep cathodic stripping voltammetry. It was found that the dimeric species (p-aminodiphenylamine and benzidine) formed by anodic oxidation of aniline during the accumulation period are involved in electrochemically reversible redox processes and, in acidic media, the shape of the stripping voltammetric response is suitable for aniline detection in the micromolar concentration range. The low background current of conductive diamond is an advantage compared to other electrode materials and allows a detection limit of 1 μM. Weak adsorption properties and the extreme electrochemical stability are additional advantages of BDD and it was found that, even after long-time measurements, the electrode surface can regain its initial activity by an anodic polarization in the potential region of water decomposition. 相似文献
In this paper, photoexcitation processes in the bilayer devices based on inorganic materials and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) were investigated. In order to clarify the roles of inorganic materials in photoconductive properties of bilayer devices, TiO2 and ZnS were chosen to combine with PVK. A model for generation of photocurrent (Iph) in single layer device of PVK was obtained. It is deduced that the recombination rate constant (Pcomb) and the ionization rate constant (y) ofexcitons should be considered as the most important factors for Iph. For inorganic materials (TiO2 or ZnS)/PVK bilayer devices, in reverse bias of-4 V, the photocurrent of 115 mA/cm^2 in the TiO2/PVK device was observed, but the photocurrent in the ZnS/PVK device was only 10 mA/cma under the illumination light of 340 nm and the light intensity of 14.2 mW/cm^2. The weaker photocurrent is attributed to the absorption of ZnS within UV region and the energy offset at the interface between PVK and ZnS, which impedes the transport of charge carriers. 相似文献
A (right -) module is said to be a Whitehead test module for projectivity (shortly: a p-test module) provided for each module , implies is projective. Dually, i-test modules are defined. For example, is a p-test abelian group iff each Whitehead group is free. Our first main result says that if is a right hereditary non-right perfect ring, then the existence of p-test modules is independent of ZFC + GCH. On the other hand, for any ring , there is a proper class of i-test modules. Dually, there is a proper class of p-test modules over any right perfect ring.
A non-semisimple ring is said to be fully saturated (-saturated) provided that all non-projective (-generated non-projective) modules are i-test. We show that classification of saturated rings can be reduced to the indecomposable ones. Indecomposable 1-saturated rings fall into two classes: type I, where all simple modules are isomorphic, and type II, the others. Our second main result gives a complete characterization of rings of type II as certain generalized upper triangular matrix rings, . The four parameters involved here are skew-fields and , and natural numbers . For rings of type I, we have several partial results: e.g. using a generalization of Bongartz Lemma, we show that it is consistent that each fully saturated ring of type I is a full matrix ring over a local quasi-Frobenius ring. In several recent papers, our results have been applied to Tilting Theory and to the Theory of -modules.
