A CO Adsorption Site Change Induced by Copper Substitution in a Ruthenium Catalyst for Enhanced CO Oxidation Activity

Ru is an important catalyst in many types of reactions. Specifically, Ru is well known as the best monometallic catalyst for oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and has been practically used in residential fuel cell systems. However, Ru is a minor metal, and the supply risk often causes violent fluctuations in the price of Ru. Performance‐improved and cost‐reduced solid‐solution alloy nanoparticles of the Cu‐Ru system for CO oxidation are now presented. Over the whole composition range, all of the Cu_xRu_1?x nanoparticles exhibit significantly enhanced CO oxidation activities, even at 70 at % of inexpensive Cu, compared to Ru nanoparticles. Only 5 at % replacement of Ru with Cu provided much better CO oxidation activity, and the maximum activity was achieved by 20 at % replacement of Ru by Cu. The origin of the high catalytic performance was found as CO site change by Cu substitution, which was investigated using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra and theoretical calculations.     

Visible-light-mediated external-reductant-free reductive cross coupling of benzylammonium salts with (hetero)aryl nitriles

Herein we report a novel visible-light-mediated external reductant-free reductive cross coupling for the construction of C sp~2–C sp~3 bonds. A variety of benzylammonium salts underwent selective coupling with(hetero)aryl nitriles to deliver important diarylmethanes under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, photocatalysts can be omitted for many cases, which might involve the electron donor acceptor(EDA) complex. Mechanistic studies indicated benzylic radicals might be involved as the key intermediates. Moreover, the in situ generated NMe_3 via cleavage of C–N bond in ammonium salts acts as the electron donor,thus avoiding the use of external-reductant.

Mass spectrometry combined with affinity probes for the identification of CP4 EPSPS in genetically modified soybeans

Sample preparation methods used for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) analysis are often time consuming, require extensive manual manipulation, and result in limited amounts of purified protein, which may complicate the detection of low‐abundance GM protein. A robust sample pretreatment method prior to mass spectrometry (MS) detection of the transgenic protein (5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase [CP4 EPSPS]) present in Roundup Ready soya is investigated. Liquid chromatography‐multiple reaction monitoring tandem MS (nano LC‐MS/MS‐MRM) was used for the detection and quantification of CP4 EPSPS. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and concanavalin A (Con A)‐immobilized Sepharose 4B were used as selective probes for the separation of the major storage proteins in soybeans. AuNPs that enable the capture of cysteine‐containing proteins were used to reduce the complexity of the crude extract of GM soya. Con A‐sepharose was used for the affinity capture of β‐conglycinin and other glycoproteins of soya prior to enzymatic digestion. The methods enabled the detection of unique peptides of CP4 EPSPS at a level as low as 0.5% of GM soya in MRM mode. Stable‐isotope dimethyl labeling was further applied to the quantification of GM soya. Both probes exhibited high selectivity and efficiency for the affinity capture of storage proteins, leading to the quantitative detection at 0.5% GM soya, which is a level below the current European Union's threshold for food labeling. The square correlation coefficients were greater than 0.99. The approach for sample preparation is very simple without the need for time‐consuming protein prefractionation or separation procedures and thus presents a significant improvement over existing methods for the analysis of the GM soya protein.

A metabolically engineered spin-labeling approach for studying glycans on cells

Metabolic glycan engineering (MGE) coupled with nitroxide spin-labeling (SL) was utilized to investigate the heterogeneous environment of cell surface glycans in select cancer and normal cells. This approach exploited the incorporation of azides into cell surface glycans followed by a click reaction with a new nitroxide spin label. Both sialic acid and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) were targeted for spin labelling. Although each of these moieties experiences a diverse and heterogeneous glycan environment, their EPR spectra and hence mobility are both characterized as a linear combination of two distinct spectra where one component reflects a highly mobile or uncrowded micro-environment with the second component reflecting more restricted motion, reflective of increased crowding and packing within the glycocalyx. What differs among the spectra of the targeted glycans is the relative percentage of each component, with sialic acid moieties experiencing on average an ∼80% less crowded environment, where conversely GlcNAc/GalNAz labeled sites reported on average a ∼50% more crowded environment. These distinct environments are consistent with the organization of sugar moieties within cellular glycans where some residues occur close to the cell membrane/protein backbone (i.e. more restricted) and others are more terminal in the glycan (i.e. more mobile). Strikingly, different cell lines displayed varied relative populations of these two components, suggesting distinctive glycan packing, organization, and composition of different cells. This work demonstrates the capability of SDSL EPR to be a broadly useful tool for studying glycans on cells, and interpretation of the results provides insights for distinguishing the differences and changes in the local organization and heterogeneity of the cellular glycocalyx.
