阴离子-π复合物(I-·C6F6)的成键分析

最近Anst?ter, et al. 发表了对阴离子-π复合物(I^-·C₆F₆)的第一个定量谱学测量[J. Am. Chem. Soc. 141, 6132 (2019)],认为成键作用中相关作用占41%,静电作用占23%,得出相关作用占主导的结论. 本研究表明,该文献的“静电作用”中混入了Pauli排斥作用,后者在数值上抵消了前者的作用. 在复合物I^-·C₆F₆中,发现静电作用是相关作用的两倍多,因而阴离子-π复合物中仍应是静电作用占主导.

Neuron model with conductance-resistance symmetry

This paper is to derive a mathematical model for neuron by imposing only a principle of symmetry that two modelers must obtain the same model when one models the conductances of ion channels and the other models the channels' resistances. Conductance-voltage characteristics for ion transport channels and protein gating channels are both derived. They are expressed as products of maximal conductances and opening probabilities for both types of channel. It gives an explanation to the role of spontaneous firing of individual channel pores and to the origin of leak current. The model has a better fit to a classical data than the Hodgkin-Huxley model does. It can also be reduced to a 2-dimensional model qualitatively similar to the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation and be expanded to a model of three ion channels capable of spike bursts.     

Physical properties of voltage gated pores

Experiments on single ionic channels have contributed to a large extent to our current view on the function of cell membrane. In these experiments the main observables are the physical quantities: ionic concentration, membrane electrostatic potential and ionic fluxes, all of them presenting large fluctuations. The classical theory of Goldman–Hodking–Katz assumes that an open channel can be well described by a physical pore where ions follow statistical physics. Nevertheless real molecular channels are active pores with open and close dynamical states. By skipping the molecular complexity of real channels, here we present the internal structure and calibration of two active pore models. These models present a minimum set of degrees of freedom, specifically ion positions and gate states, which follow Langevin equations constructed from a unique potential energy functional and by using standard rules of statistical physics. Numerical simulations of both models are implemented and the results show that they have dynamical properties very close to those observed in experiments of Na and K molecular channels. In particular a significant effect of the external ion concentration on gating dynamics is predicted, which is consistent with previous experimental observations. This approach can be extended to other channel types with more specific phenomenology.     

Gating-by-tilt of mechanically sensitive membrane channels

We propose an alternative mechanism for the gating of biological membrane channels in response to membrane tension that involves a change in the slope of the membrane near the channel. Under biological membrane tensions we show that the energy difference between the closed (tilted) and open (untilted) states can far exceed k(B)T and is comparable to what is available under simple dilational gating. Recent experiments demonstrate that membrane leaflet asymmetries (spontaneous curvature) can strongly affect the gating of some channels. Such a phenomenon would be easier to explain under gating-by-tilt, given its novel intrinsic sensitivity to such asymmetry.     

NMR characterization of the pore structure and anisotropic self-diffusion in salt water Ice

NMR imaging and one- and two-dimensional self-diffusion propagator measurements of the liquid phase in salt water ice are presented. The properties of the network of brine-filled pores are found to depend on the growth conditions of the ice. Two types of samples are compared: (a) shock-frozen ice produced in the probe in situ and (b) ice grown over several hours under controlled conditions. By shock-freezing, an ice structure could be produced which featured streak-like porous channels of diameters of up to 300 μm allowing almost unrestricted self-diffusion along one preferential axis but reduced diffusivities in the remaining directions. In ice grown under controlled conditions, the pore sizes are near the resolution limit of the imaging experiment of typically 50 μm. For this type of samples, strongly non-Gaussian self-diffusion propagators are obtained, indicating restricted self-diffusion on rms scales of 30 μm. Common to all samples was the observation of highly anisotropic self-diffusion. One- and two-dimensional propagators are compared in order to estimate the degree of anisotropy and the size of the restrictions.

Acoustic properties of rarefied gases inside pores of simple geometries

Analytical solutions describing propagation of monochromatic acoustic waves inside long pores of simple geometries and narrow flat slits are obtained with accounting for gas rarefaction effects. It is assumed that molecular nature of gas is important in Knudsen layers near solid boundaries. Outside the Knudsen layers, the continuum approach is used. This model allows for extension of acoustic analysis to regions of low pressures and microscopic cross-sectional sizes of channels. The problem is solved using linearized Navier-Stokes equations with the boundary conditions that resulted from the first-order approximation with respect to small Knudsen number Kn. For slits and pores of circular and square cross sections, the theoretical dependencies of the dynamic density in the low-frequency range are compared with those that resulted from known experimental data on steady-state flows of rarefied gases in uniform channels. Despite the formal restriction Kn < 1 of asymptotic analysis, the theoretical model agrees well with experiments up to Kn approximately 5. It is shown that the molecular phenomena affect acoustic characteristics of micro-channels and pores starting from relatively small Knudsen numbers Kn > 0.01, especially at low frequencies. The obtained results may be used for analyses of acoustic properties of waveguides, perforated panels, micro-channels and pores in wide range of gas pressures as well as for stationary flows of rarefied gases through long uniform pipes etc.     

The dynamics of small excitable ion channel clusters

Through computational modeling we predict that small sodium ion channel clusters on small patches of membrane can encode electric signals most efficiently at certain magic cluster sizes. We show that this effect can be traced back to algebraic features of small integers and are universal for channels with a simple gating dynamics. We further explore physiologic conditions under which such effects can occur.     

Periodic forcing of ion channel gating: An experimental approach

To get information about the gating process of single ion channels it is important to carry out the periodic modulation of a physical parameter affecting the channels while they are recorded by the patch clamp technique. This paper outlines a possible experimental approach in the case that the membrane potential is the modulated parameter.     

Preparation and characterization of porous DVB copolymers and their applicability for adsorption (solid-phase extraction) of phenol compounds

Using DVB, three new porous copolymers in the form of microspheres were prepared, characterized and used as adsorbents for phenol and its chlorinated derivatives. As the monomers: 4,4′-bis(maleimidodiphenyl)methane (BM), 2,3-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methylacryloyloxy-propoxy)naphthalene (2,3-NAF) and 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate (GLY) were used. All the studied materials were synthesized under the same conditions by means of suspension copolymerization. The DVB copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, TG and DSC analyses and N₂ sorption. The off-line solid-phase extraction method (SPE) was used to estimate sorption properties of the copolymers. The results show that the newly obtained materials are mesoporous but their shape of pores and chemical structures are different. BM-DVB and GLY-DVB are characterized by slit-shaped pores and wide pore size distribution. 2,3-NAF-DVB also possesses slit pores but distribution of pore size is narrower. Of those studied BM-DVB is the most interesting material. It has good sorption properties and heat resistance.
