Transesterification of a phosphodiester bond of RNA models has been studied in various buffer solutions, under neutral and slightly alkaline conditions in H2O and D2O. The results show that imidazole is the only buffer system where a clear buffer catalysis on the cleavage of a phosphodiester bond is observed. The rate enhancement in sulphonic acid buffers is smaller, and a sulphonate base, particularly, is inactive as a catalyst. The rate‐enhancing effect of imidazole is, however, catalytic, and the catalytic inactivity of sulphonate buffers can be attributed to their structure and/or charge. The catalysis by imidazole is a complex system which, in addition to first‐order reactions, involves a process that shows a second‐order dependence in imidazole concentration. The latter reaction becomes significant in acidic imidazole buffers (pH < pKa), as the buffer concentration increases. The kinetic solvent deuterium isotope effect kH/kD, referring to first‐order catalysis by imidazole base, is 2.3 ± 0.3. That referring to second‐order catalysis is most probably much larger, but an accurate value could not be obtained. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We have prepared spherical non-agglomerated silver nanoparticles by an evaporation–condensation–dilution/cooling technique. Silver was evaporated from a crucible in a tubular flow reactor. A porous tube diluter was used to quench the carrier gas at the outlet of the reactor to enhance the formation of small particles and to suppress agglomeration and other particle growth mechanisms. The number size distribution of the prepared particles was measured with a differential mobility analyser–condensation nucleus counter combination and the size and the shape of the particles were analysed with transmission electron microscope. The system was modelled using a sectional aerosol dynamics computer code to estimate the importance of different aerosol processes. In all conditions the particles obtained were non-agglomerated and spherical. The mean particle diameter varied from 4 to 10-nm depending on boundary conditions. From the modelling studies it can be concluded that the nucleation rate is the most important parameter controlling the final particle size. 相似文献

This paper describes the validation of a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method for the direct determination of the 3-O-glucuronides of entacapone and its (Z)-isomer, the main urinary metabolites of entacapone in humans. Entacapone is a novel drug which, as a potent inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), is used as an adjunct in the standard therapy of Parkinson's disease. The 3-O-glucuronide of another COMT inhibitor, nitecapone, was used as internal standard (I.S.). The validation experiments were performed by using spiked urine samples that were extracted with Sep-Pak C18 cartridges before analysis. Determinations were carried out in a buffer of pH 7.0 containing 25 mM of phosphate, 50 mM of borate and 20 mM of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and by applying 15 kV over a 67 cm (60 cm to the detector) x 75 microns fused-silica capillary. UV detection was at 335 nm. The validity of the method was assessed by investigating the identity of the analytes, selectivity, limit of quantitation, linearity, within-day precision, extraction recovery, between-day precision and accuracy, electroosmotic flow stability and analyte stability. The method proved to be reproducible, sufficiently selective and accurate. Extraction recoveries of the analytes were > 94%. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 2 micrograms/ml and the assay was linear in the range 2-150 micrograms/ml with correlation coefficients better than 0.999 for both glucuronides. The repeatability of the method, expressed as the ratio of corrected peak area of the analytes to that of I.S., gave RSD values of < 5% even at the LOQ. Between-day precision (RSD) was < 7.5% for both glucuronides at 7.5 micrograms/ml. Determination of the glucuronide concentrations in urine samples of 34 patients treated with entacapone either orally (200 mg) or intravenously (25 mg) showed the method to be suitable for monitoring the concentrations of the glucuronide of entacapone after both oral and intravenous administration and those of the glucuronide of its (Z)-isomer after oral administration. The limited long term stability of the system requires, however, frequent recalibration in applications involving long sample series. 相似文献

A rat infection model using the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes was employed to analyze the im-munosuppressive activity of UVB radiation. Rats were exposed to suberythemal doses of UVB radiation for 5 or 7 consecutive days, using Kromayer or FS40 lamps respectively. Subsequently, the rats were infected subcuta-neously or intravenously with Listeria . Exposure to UVB resulted in an increased number of bacteria in the spleen 4 days after infection. Listeria -specific lymphocyte proliferation assays as well as delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions demonstrated that T cell-mediated immunity to Listeria was impaired by UVB as measured 4 and 8 days after infection. In addition, UVB exposure decreased phagocytotic activity of peripheral blood macrophages. This study demonstrated that suberythemal doses of UVB radiation caused a delay in the clearance of Listeria bacteria from the spleen of the rats and that this was probably caused by impaired nonspecific phagocytosis of Listeria by macrophages in addition to an impaired activity of Listeria -specific T cells. 相似文献

Recent experiments indicate that proton irradiation triggers ferromagnetism in originally nonmagnetic graphite samples while He ion bombardment has a much smaller effect. To understand the origin of irradiation-induced magnetism, we have performed spin-polarized density functional theory calculations of the magnetic properties of the defects which are most likely to appear under irradiation vacancies and vacancy-hydrogen complexes. Both defects are magnetic, but as for the latter we find that H adsorption on one of the vacancy dangling bonds gives rise to a magnetic moment double that of the naked vacancy. We show that for small irradiation doses vacancy-hydrogen complexes result in a macroscopic magnetic signal which agrees well with the experimental values. 相似文献

Children differ in how much they spontaneously pay attention to quantitative aspects of their natural environment. We studied how this spontaneous tendency to focus on numerosity (SFON) is related to subitizing-based enumeration and verbal and object counting skills. In this exploratory study, children were tested individually at the age of 4–5 years on these skills. Results showed 2 primary relationships in children's number skills development. Performance in a number sequence production task, which is closely related to ordinal number sequence without reference to cardinality, is directly associated with SFON. Second, the association of SFON and object counting skills, which require relating cardinal and ordinal aspects of number, is mediated by subitizing-based enumeration. This suggests that there are multiple pathways to enumeration skills during development. 相似文献
