基于愈创木酚荧光减量准确测定过氧化物酶活性的新方法

利用H2O2/过氧化物酶(POD)/愈创木酚(GA)反应体系的产物(470 nm)吸光度去定量POD活性是目前常用方法之一,但产物不稳定且对比色皿有吸附现象是该反应的主要缺点之一。为了解决此问题,本研究利用GA的荧光特性建立了一种能准确测定POD活性的方法。用辣根过氧化物酶( HRP)作为测试样品得到了以下优化条件：0.5 mmol/L GA,0.5 mmol/L H2O2,0.05 mol/L PBS缓冲液(pH 6.0),反应温度20℃,样品耗量20μL;本方法的线性范围为500~60000 U/L(r=0.9993),RSD≤2.4%(n=11),检出限为385 U/L。在优化条件下,用白萝卜提取液作为测试样品,用本方法((9714依132) U/L)与比色法((9926依352) U/L)和循环催化流动分析法((9608依456) U/L)进行了对比,结果表明,3种方法相互一致性很好。     

Force field‐dependent solution properties of glycine oligomers

Molecular simulations can be used to study disordered polypeptide systems and to generate hypotheses on the underlying structural and thermodynamic mechanisms that govern their function. As the number of disordered protein systems investigated with simulations increase, it is important to understand how particular force fields affect the structural properties of disordered polypeptides in solution. To this end, we performed a comparative structural analysis of Gly₃ and Gly₁₀ in aqueous solution from all atom, microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the CHARMM 27 (C27), CHARMM 36 (C36), and Amber ff12SB force fields. For each force field, Gly₃ and Gly₁₀ were simulated for at least 300 ns and 1 μs, respectively. Simulating oligoglycines of two different lengths allows us to evaluate how force field effects depend on polypeptide length. Using a variety of structural metrics (e.g., end‐to‐end distance, radius of gyration, dihedral angle distributions), we characterize the distribution of oligoglycine conformers for each force field and show that each sample conformation space differently, yielding considerably different structural tendencies of the same oligoglycine model in solution. Notably, we find that C36 samples more extended oligoglycine structures than both C27 and ff12SB. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Understanding the Structural Differences between Spherical and Rod‐Shaped Human Insulin Nanoparticles Produced by Supercritical Fluids Precipitation

In this study, the thermal denaturation mechanism and secondary structures of two types of human insulin nanoparticles produced by a process of solution‐enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluids using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethanol (EtOH) solutions of insulin are investigated using spectroscopic approaches and molecular dynamics calculations. First, the temperature‐dependent IR spectra of spherical and rod‐shaped insulin nanoparticles prepared from DMSO and EtOH solution, respectively, are analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and 2D correlation spectroscopy to obtain a deeper understanding of the molecular structures and thermal behavior of the two insulin particle shapes. All‐atom molecular dynamics (AAMD) calculations are performed to investigate the influence of the solvent molecules on the production of the insulin nanoparticles and to elucidate the geometric differences between the two types of nanoparticles. The results of the PCA, the 2D correlation spectroscopic analysis, and the AAMD calculations clearly reveal that the thermal denaturation mechanisms and the degrees of hydrogen bonding in the spherical and rod‐shaped insulin nanoparticles are different. The polarity of the solvent might not alter the structure or function of the insulin produced, but the solvent polarity does influence the synthesis of different shapes of insulin nanoparticles.     

Synthesis and Characterization of CeO2 Nanoparticles via Solution Combustion Method for Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Activity Studies

CeO₂ nanoparticles have been proven to be competent photocatalysts for environmental applications because of their strong redox ability, nontoxicity, long-term stability, and low cost. We have synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles via solution combustion method using ceric ammonium nitrate as an oxidizer and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as fuel at 450 °C. These nanoparticles exhibit good photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity. The obtained product was characterized by various techniques. X-ray diffraction data confirms a cerianite structure: a cubic phase CeO₂ having crystallite size of 35 nm. The infrared spectrum shows a strong band below 700 cm⁻¹ due to the Ce−O−Ce stretching vibrations. The UV/Vis spectrum shows maximum absorption at 302 nm. The photoluminescence spectrum shows characteristic peaks of CeO₂ nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images clearly show the presence of a porous network with a lot of voids. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, it is clear that the particles are almost spherical, and the average size of the nanoparticles is found to be 42 nm. CeO₂ nanoparticles exhibit photocatalytic activity against trypan blue at pH 10 in UV light, and the reaction follows pseudo first-order kinetics. Finally, CeO₂ nanoparticles also reduce Cr^VI to Cr^III and show antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.     

Effect of plasma-activated water and buffer solution combined with ultrasound on fungicide degradation and quality of cherry tomato during storage

The purpose of this study was to examine plasma-activated buffer solution (PABS) and plasma-activated water (PAW) combined with ultrasonication (U) treatment on the reduction of chlorothalonil fungicide and the quality of tomato fruits during storage. To obtain PAW and PABS, an atmospheric air plasma jet was used to treat buffer solution and deionized water at different treatment times (5 and 10 min). For combined treatments, fruits were submerged in PAW and PABS, then sonicated for 15 min, and individual treatment without sonication. As per the results, the maximum chlorothalonil reduction of 89.29% was detected in PAW-U₁₀, followed by 85.43% in PABS. At the end of the storage period, the maximum reduction of 97.25% was recorded in PAW-U₁₀, followed by 93.14% in PABS-U₁₀. PAW, PABS, and both combined with ultrasound did not significantly affect the overall tomato fruit quality in the storage period. Our results revealed that PAW combined with sonication had a significant impact on post-harvest agrochemical degradation and retention of tomato quality than PABS. Conclusively, the integrated hurdle technologies effectively reduce agrochemical residues, which helps to lower health hazards and foodborne illnesses.

PCB酸性蚀刻液中缓蚀剂对厚铜线路制作的影响

以2-巯基苯并噻唑(2-MBT)、 苯并三氮唑(BTA)和苯氧基乙醇(MSDS)作为缓蚀剂, 研究了其加入在酸性蚀刻液后对PCB厚铜线路的缓蚀效果。通过接触角测试、电化学测试和蚀刻因子得出缓蚀状态,并结合扫描电子显微镜观察铜表面形貌。通过分子动力学计算和量子化学模拟分析缓蚀剂在铜表面的吸附机理。结果表明,2-MBT + MSDS与BTA + MSDS的分子结构可有效地平行吸附在铜表面,且吸附能高于单一缓蚀剂。加入了2-MBT + MSDS的蚀刻液,对厚度约为33 μm铜线路进行刻蚀,铜线路的蚀刻因子提高到6.59,可有效应用于PCB厚铜线路制作。
