Solventless Formation of G‐Quartet Complexes Based on Alkali and Alkaline Earth Salts on Au(111)

Template cations have been extensively employed in the formation, stabilization and regulation of structural polymorphism of G‐quadruplex structures in vitro. However, the direct addition of salts onto solid surfaces, especially under ultra‐high‐vacuum (UHV) conditions, to explore the feasibility and universality of the formation of G‐quartet complexes in a solventless environment has not been reported. By combining UHV‐STM imaging and DFT calculations, we have shown that three different G‐quartet‐M (M: Na/K/Ca) complexes can be obtained on Au(111) using alkali and alkaline earth salts as reactants. We have also identified the driving forces (intra‐quartet hydrogen bonding and electrostatic ionic bonding) for the formation of these complexes and quantified the interactions involved. Our results demonstrate a novel route to fabricate G‐quartet‐related complexes on solid surfaces, providing an alternative feasible way to bring metal elements to surfaces for constructing metal–organic systems.     

Interlayer interaction mechanism and its regulation on optical properties of bilayer SiCNSs

Silicon carbide nanosheets (SiCNSs) have a very broad application prospect in the field of new two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this paper, the interlayer interaction mechanism of bilayer SiCNSs (BL-SiCNSs) and its effect on optical properties are studied by first principles. Taking the charge and dipole moment of the layers as parameters, an interlayer coupling model is constructed which is more convenient to control the photoelectric properties. The results show that the stronger the interlayer coupling, the smaller the band gap of BL-SiCNSs. The interlayer coupling also changes the number of absorption peaks and causes the red or blue shift of absorption peaks. The strong interlayer coupling can produce obvious dispersion and regulate the optical transmission properties. The larger the interlayer distance, the smaller the permittivity in the vertical direction. However, the permittivity of the parallel direction is negative in the range of 150-300 nm, showing obvious metallicity. It is expected that the results will provide a meaningful theoretical basis for further study of SiCNSs optoelectronic devices.     

Sarcaglarols A—D,Lindenane−Monoterpene Heterodimers from Sarcandra glabra Based on Molecular Networks

Sarcaglarols A—D ( 1 — 4 ), two pairs of lindenane?monoterpene heterodimers fused by a 1,2‐dioxane moiety, were discovered and isolated from the leaves of Sarcandra glabra guided by MS/MS molecular networking‐based strategy. Their planar structures, absolute configurations of basic skeleton and flexible polyhydric side chain were established by analysis of HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopic data, ECD spectrum, and the X‐ray diffraction study of isopropylidene derivatives. An intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition may play a key role in the biosynthesis pathway of the 1,2‐dioxane moiety fused lindenane?monoterpene heterodimer skeleton, which can be recognized as the biogenetic precursors of our previous reported lindenane?normonoterpene conjugates. In addition, compounds 1 , 3 and 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects of lipid accumulation in free fatty acid‐exposed L02 cells.     

Cobalt and nitrogen atoms co-doped porous carbon for advanced electrical double-layer capacitors

Electrical double-laye r capacitors are widely concerned fo r their high power density,long cycling life and high cycling efficiency.However,their wide application is limited by their low energy density.In this study,we propose a simple yet environmental friendly method to synthesize cobalt and nitrogen atoms co-doped porous carbon(CoAT-NC) material.Cobalt atoms connected with primarily pyridinic nitrogen atoms can be uniformly dispersed in the amorphous carbon matrix,which is benefit for improving electrical conductivity and density of states of the carbon material.Therefore,an enhanced perfo rmance is expected when CoAT-NC is served as electrode in a supercapacitor device.CoAT-NC displays a good gravimetric capacitance of 160 F/g at 0.5 A/g combing with outstanding capacitance retention of 90% at an extremely high current density of 100 A/g in acid electrolyte.Furthermore,a good energy density of30 Wh/kg can be obtained in the organic electrolyte.

Expression and Enzyme Activity Detection of a Sepiapterin Reductase Gene from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Musca domestica</Emphasis> Larva

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for aromatic acid hydroxylases and nitric oxide synthase. Sepiapterin reductase (SPR) catalyzes the final steps of BH4 biosynthesis. Studies on SPR from several insects and other organisms have been reported. However, thus far, enzyme activity of SPR in Musca domestica is kept unknown. In this study, 186 differentially expressed genes including SPR gene from Musca domestica (MDSPR) were screened in subtractive cDNA library. The MDSPR gene was cloned, and the recombinant MDSPI16 protein was expressed as a 51-kDa protein in soluble form. The MDSPR exhibited strong activity to the substrate sepiapterin (SP). The values of V_max and K_m of the MDSPR for SP were 6.83 μM/min and 23.48 μM, and the optimum temperature and pH of MDSPR were 50 °C and 4.0, respectively. This study provides new hypotheses and methods for the production of BH4 using insect-derived SPR.     

原位核磁共振技术考察L-缬氨酸导引下合成花状纳米结构聚苯胺形成机理的研究

利用~1H-NMR原位追踪在L-缬氨酸存在下合成花状纳米聚苯胺的形成过程中发现此结构的形成经历3个阶段:首先在苯胺与缬氨酸构成的类胶束结构内聚合成吩嗪类寡聚物;其次通过p-p重叠作用及胶束融合过程成为片状聚集体;最终通过与缬氨酸形成氢键组装成花瓣状纳米聚苯胺.通过改变反应条件,对比形成过程中核磁共振图谱及产物形貌的变化发现花状纳米聚苯胺的形成有如下特征:反应初期L-缬氨酸作为缓冲试剂可以避免苯胺的骤然质子化,有利于生成具有吩嗪结构的寡聚物;反应前苯胺单体与缬氨酸形成稳定的反应环境保证寡聚物始终在其内聚集生长,有效避免了外部环境的影响.     

Hyperbolic Yamabe problem

In this paper, we investigate the solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem for the(1 + n)-dimensional Minkowski space-time. More precisely speaking, for the case of n = 1, we derive a general solution of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem; for the case of n = 2, 3, we study the global existence and blowup phenomena of smooth solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem;while for general multi-dimensional case n ≥ 2, we discuss the global existence and non-existence for a kind of exact solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem.
