Probing the Binding of Rifampicin to Bovine Serum Albumin in Aqueous Solution

The binding of rifampicin (RFP), an anti-tuberculosis agent, to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied at physiological conditions (pH=7.40) by a spectroscopic approach. In the discussion of the quenching mechanism, it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by RFP is a result of the formation of a RFP–BSA complex. Binding parameters were determined using the modified Stern-Volmer equation and Scatchard’s equation to provide a measure of the binding affinity between RFP and BSA. The resulting thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at different temperatures indicate that electrostatic interactions play a major role in RFP–BSA association. Site marker competitive displacement experiments demonstrate that RFP binds with high affinity to the site I (subdomain IIA) of BSA. Furthermore, the effect of metal ions on the RFP–BSA system was studied, and the specific binding distance r (3.38 nm) between donor and acceptor (RFP) was obtained according to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography assay for the simultaneous quantification of urinary transferrin and albumin

A micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method for simultaneous determination of urinary transferrin and albumin has been developed. The performance of the assay was evaluated. Under the optimum conditions, the linearity of transferrin and albumin is in the range of 10~1000 mg L^?1. The detection limits are 1.3 mg L^?1 for transferrin and 1.1 mg L^?1 for albumin, with relative standard deviations of less than 5.4%. The within-run and between-run coefficients of variation were <5.5% for transferrin and <8.2% for albumin, respectively. The recoveries of transferrin and albumin are 97.7~106.1%. The performance of the MEKC assay was compared with radioimmunoassay, and correlated well with this.

二维/二维S-型Bi3NbO7/g-C3N4异质结光催化剂驱动选择性CO2还原制CH4

人工光合作用可直接将二氧化碳转化为一系列碳氢化合物,实现大气中的碳循环,被视为一种既能解决能源短缺又能减少温室气体,进而改善人类生存环境的新型绿色技术.光催化二氧化碳还原体系需要合适的耦合氧化还原反应,以及对外界光源的有效利用以产生足够电子参与反应,因此构建高催化活性和高选择性的催化体系仍然面临着巨大挑战.此外,二维纳米结构(2D)由于具有比表面积大、离子的迁移路径短以及独特的平层电子转移轨道等特性,被证实有利于光催化还原CO₂过程.其中,Bi₃NbO₇特殊的片层结构和合适的能带位置,使其在光催化还原CO₂反应中表现出良好的催化性能.然而,Bi₃NbO₇的光生载流子易复合及反应中光腐蚀严重等缺陷导致其光利用率较低,限制了其实际应用.因此,构建S-型异质结是提高复合材料光催化活性的一种有前途的策略.S-型异质结不仅能有效地分离光生电子和空穴,而且这一电子转移过程赋予了复合物最大的氧化还原能力.同时,S-型光催化体系不仅拥有同样的强氧化和强还原能力,还可显著抑制副反应的发生及副产物的产生,有利于CO₂还原反应的高选择性进行.本文利用简易的溶剂热法制备了一系列S-型Bi₃NbO₇/g-C₃N₄(BNO/UCN)异质结光催化剂,与其纯组分催化剂相比,表现出优异的光催化还原CO₂活性,g-C₃N₄含量为80wt%的BNO/UCN-3光催化剂催化CO₂生成CH₄产率为37.59μmol·g^-1h^-1,是g-C₃N₄的15倍,CH₄选择性为90%;且循环反应10次后仍保持较高的活性及CH4选择性.光催化活性及选择性的显著增强是由于二维分布的纳米结构和S-型电荷转移路径.在可见光照射下,界面内建电场、带边缘弯曲和库仑相互作用协同促进了复合物相对无用的电子和空穴的复合.因此,剩余的电子和空穴具有较高的还原性和氧化性,使复合材料具有较高的氧化还原能力.自由基捕获实验、电子顺磁共振实验和原位X射线光电子能谱实验结果表明,光催化剂中的电子迁移遵循S-型异质结机理.综上,本文不仅为新型S-型异质结CO₂还原光催化剂的设计和制备提供了新方法,而且为未来解决能源短缺及实现碳中和目标提供一定的实验及理论依据.

Polarization-controlled leakage current and photovoltaic effect in highly preferentially oriented BiFeO3 film

Highly preferentially oriented polycrystalline BiFeO₃ thin film was grown on FTO/glass substrate by a sol–gel method annealed at 500 °C. XRD result showed that the film adopts highly (100) preferential orientation. SEM results indicate that the film is composed of large grains of 40–200 nm and the thickness is about 320 nm. Room temperature saturated polarization and large Pr ~55 μC/cm² were obtained. Leakage current was substantially reduced by the controlling of ferroelectric polarization. Polarization-modulated conduction mechanism was studied. Moreover, substantial photovoltaic effect was observed.
