Simulating ion clustering in potassium thiocyanate aqueous solutions with various ion-water models

Using a molecular dynamics simulation technique,we compared several commonly used ion-water models to describe the microscopic structures and dynamics in KSCN aqueous solutions.Results are compared with observations of femtosecond infrared vibrational-energy transfer and anisotropy measurements.The Jorgensen/TIP4P model is found to provide the best reproduction of clustering properties such as percentage of clustered ions,cluster-size distribution,concentration dependence of the water,and ion-rotation time constants.

An Approach to NMR Assignment of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

An efficient approach to NMR assignments in intrinsically disordered proteins is presented, making use of the good dispersion of cross peaks observed in [¹⁵N,¹³C′]‐ and [¹³C′,¹H^N]‐correlation spectra. The method involves the simultaneous collection of {3D (H)NCO(CAN)H and 3D (HACA)CON(CA)HA} spectra for backbone assignments via sequential H^N and H^α correlations and {3D (H)NCO(CACS)HS and 3D (HS)CS(CA)CO(N)H} spectra for side‐chain ¹H and ¹³C assignments, employing sequential ¹H data acquisitions with direct detection of both the amide and aliphatic protons. The efficacy of the approach for obtaining resonance assignments with complete backbone and side‐chain chemical shifts is demonstrated experimentally for the 61‐residue [¹³C,¹⁵N]‐labelled peptide of a voltage‐gated potassium channel protein of the Kv1.4 channel subunit. The general applicability of the approach for the characterisation of moderately sized globular proteins is also demonstrated.     

Micro‐ and Nano‐Technologies for Lipid Bilayer‐Based Ion‐Channel Functional Assays

Ion channel proteins provide gated pores that allow ions to passively flow across cell membranes. Owing to their crucial roles in regulating transmembrane ion flow, ion channel proteins have attracted the attention of pharmaceutical investigators as drug targets for use in the studies of both therapeutics and side effects. In this review, we discuss the current technologies that are used in the formation of ion channel‐integrated bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) in microfabricated devices as a potential platform for next‐generation drug screening systems. Advances in BLM fabrication methodology have allowed the preparation of BLMs in sophisticated formats, such as microfluidic, automated, and/or array systems, which can be combined with channel current recordings. A much more critical step is the integration of the target channels into BLMs. Current technologies for the functional reconstitution of ion channel proteins are presented and discussed. Finally, the remaining issues of the BLM‐based methods for recording ion channel activities and their potential applications as drug screening systems are discussed.

Molten Ag2SO4‐based Ion‐Exchange Preparation of Ag0.5La0.5TiO3 for Photocatalytic O2 Evolution

Ag_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ with an ABO₃ perovskite structure was synthesized by a newly developed ion‐exchange method. Molten Ag₂SO₄ instead of traditional molten AgNO₃ was used as Ag⁺ source in view of its high decomposition temperature (1052 °C), thereby guaranteeing the complete substitution of Ag⁺ for Na⁺ in Na_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ with a stable ABO₃ perovskite structure at a high ion‐exchange temperature (700 °C). Under full‐arc irradiation, the O₂‐evolution activity of Ag_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ was about 1.6 times that of Na_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ due to the optimized electronic band structures and local lattice structures. On the one hand, the substitution of Ag⁺ for Na⁺ elevated the VBM and thus narrowed the band gap from 3.19 to 2.83 eV, thereby extending the light‐response range and, accordingly, enhancing the photoexcitation to generate more charge carriers. On the other hand, the substitution of Ag⁺ for Na⁺ induced a lattice distortion of the ABO₃ perovskite structure, thereby promoting the separation and migration of charge carriers. Moreover, under visible‐light irradiation, Ag_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ displayed notable O₂ evolution whereas Na_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ showed little O₂ evolution, thus demonstrating that the substitution of Ag⁺ for Na⁺ enabled the use of visible light to evolve O₂ photocatalytically. This work presents an effective route to explore novel Ag‐based photocatalysts.
