Structure of Liquids. VIII. An X-Ray Diffraction Study of Liquid Mercury-Gallium Systems

Abstract

X-ray diffraction measurements were made at 0°, 30°, and 50°C on pure mercury and on two mercury-gallium systems of composition 0.9658 and 0.0197 mole fraction of mercury. Peak positions of the radial distribution functions for all samples show no significant change with temperature; the average position of the first and second peaks of the mercury curves are 3.01 Å and 5.80 Å, respectively. Coordination numbers for mercury as determined by the symmetrical curve method are 7.5, 7.3, and 7.0 atoms for 0°, 30°, and 50°C. The scattering function and the features of the structure obtained for the Ga-in-Hg solution are not significantly different from those of pure mercury; for the Hg-in-Ga solution, however, the coordination numbers are smaller than those for pure gallium, and the scattering functions are significantly different.     

Review article: some transport phenomena in classical liquids and neutron scattering

Abstract

The sound velocity in toluene has been measured up to 2634 bar and at temperatures from 173 to 320 K using the pulse-echo overlap method. The sound velocity in n-heptane has been measured up to 2634 bar and at temperatures from 185 to 310 K by the phase comparison pulse-echo method. The density, the isothermal compressibility, the isobaric thermal expansion and the specific heat at constant pressure of both liquids have been evaluated from the measured sound velocity, following the method of Davis and Gordon. From a comparison of the calculated densities with those obtained previously from direct measurements, it is concluded that the method is very suitable for precise determination of liquid densities under elevated pressures.

Reaction Dynamics of Aligned Molecules

Photofragmentation—also termed ‘half collision’—is a method to comprehend the complicated process of a chemical reaction (the ‘full collision’) better. The use of polarized light enabled the study of the spectroscopy of aligned molecules, yielding information about the photochemically produced intermediate state—the transition state. Even though stable reaction products were studied, the forces responsible for the motions of the fragments can be visualized. In this way a model can be constructed that represents the part of the potential hypersurface responsible for the observed motions. The application of this spectroscopic method to hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂ has become a classic example. The complex decomposition of hydrazoic acid, HN₃, represented a challenge, and its successful solution proves the general applicability of this method.     

Effect of solvent polarizability on dual fluorescence of EE-1-phenyl,4-(1′-pyrenyl)-1,3-butadiene

The properties of the lowest excited states of EE-1-phenyl,4-(1′-pyrenyl)-1,3-butadiene were studied by absorption and emission spectrometry in solvents of different polarity and polarizability. The effect of the latter on the energy and relative position of the two lowest excited singlet states (of B_u and A_g parentage) was investigated. Dual fluorescence was observed in low polarizability solvents at room temperature. The emission from a thermally populated upper state disappears at low temperature and in higher polarizability solvents, such as CS₂, where the lowest excited state acquires an allowed character. The excited molecule relaxes mainly by the radiative pathway. Internal conversion also plays an important role while the triplet population is scarce and photoisomerization is practically negligible. The behaviour is compared with those of related compounds.     

Nano-Optical Tweezers: Methods and Applications for Trapping Single Molecules and Nanoparticles

Optical tweezers were developed in 1970 by Arthur Ashkin as a tool for the manipulation of micron-sized particles. Ashkin's original design was then adapted for a variety of purposes, such as trapping and manipulation of biological materials^[1] and the laser cooling of atoms.^[2,3] More recent development has led to nano-optical tweezers, for trapping particles on the scale of only a few nanometers, and holographic tweezers, which allow for dynamic control of multiple traps in real-time. These alternatives to conventional optical tweezers have made it possible to trap single molecules and to perform a variety of studies on them. Presented here is a review of recent developments in nano-optical tweezers and their current and future applications.

棕色固氮菌细菌铁蛋白捕获能力、稳定性和亚基相互作用的强度

选用柱层析、电泳和反相高效液相色谱(RP-HPLC)技术制备质谱纯棕色固氮菌细菌铁蛋白(Bacteri-al ferritin ofAzotobacter vinelandii,AVBF),并采用释放铁动力学和肽质量指纹图谱(Peptide mass fingerprint-ing,PMF)技术分别鉴定AVBF。基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)和电泳技术揭示AVBF亚基之间相互作用强度、稳定性和聚合态。AVBF可直接捕获有机小分子亚甲蓝(MB),其捕获率为15.0±2.0MB/AVBF,认为介于AVBF亚基单体之间的血红素参与捕获MB。较高浓度(40%~50%)的乙腈和丙酮均能使AVBF和鲨鱼肝铁蛋白(Liver ferritin of shark,SLF)释放不稳定亚基,但在较低浓度(20%~30%)的乙腈条件下,却需要借助来源于质谱仪的激光才能使AVBF或SLF释放不稳定亚基,并供质谱分析。AVBF亚基之间的相互作用强度明显低于SLF。铁蛋白亚基之间的相互作用强度高低与铁蛋白执行释放和储存铁的速率有关。     

Association and Shape of Molecules Using Free Length Theory

Abstract

Traditionally workers engaged in calculation of the ultrasonic velocity in liquid mixtures using Jacobson's Free Length Theory (FLT) arrive at the conclusion that the predictions of FLT produce large deviations when compared with experimental velocities. Such workers seemed to have ignored the necessity of incorporating two parameters in FLT as originally suggested by Jacobson himself: one, to account for the association, and the other, for the shape of the component molecules in the mixture. By introducing the association factor and deriving explicit expressions for different shapes of the molecules, the present work has demonstrated that FLT might be made to predict ultrasonic velocities in the mixtures better. Also this approach can very well be used to account for molecular associations and shapes.     

Efficient overlay of small organic molecules using 3D pharmacophores

Aligning and overlaying two or more bio-active molecules is one of the key tasks in computational drug discovery and bio-activity prediction. Especially chemical-functional molecule characteristics from the view point of a macromolecular target represented as a 3D pharmacophore are the most interesting similarity measure when describing and analyzing macromolecule-ligand interaction. In this study, a novel approach for aligning rigid three-dimensional molecules according to their chemical-functional pharmacophoric features is presented and compared to the overlay of experimentally determined poses in a comparable macromolecule coordinate frame. The presented approach identifies optimal chemical feature pairs using distance and density characteristics obtained by correlating pharmacophoric geometries and thus proves to be faster than existing combinatorial alignment methods and creates more reasonable alignments than pure atom-based methods. Examples will be provided to demonstrate the feasibility, speed and intuitiveness of this method.

Trapping of positronium in a size-dependent spherical square well potential

The real trapping potential energy U(r) of positronium in vacancy-type holes and self-sustaining bubbles in liquids is replaced by a spherical square well potential of finite energy depth U_m and the scaling procedure proposed by Yu et al. is applied. Available data for the ortho-positronium lifetime in molecular crystals and in liquids are re-examined and a unique relation is found between the potential energy depth U_m and the calculated radius R of the trapping site. The general form of a surface-enhanced real potential energy U(r) which is compatible with the behaviour of U_m is proposed.     

MEPSIM: A computational package for analysis and comparison of molecular electrostatic potentials

Summary MEPSIM is a computational system which allows an integrated computation, analysis, and comparison of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distributions. It includes several modules. Module MEPPLA supplies MEP values for the points of a grid defined on a plane which is specified by a set of three points. The results of this program can easily be converted into MEP maps using third-parties graphical software. Module MEPMIN allows to find automatically the MEP minima of a molecular system. It supplies the cartesian coordinates of these minima, their values, and all the geometrical relationships between them (distances, angles, and dihedral angles). Module MEPCOMP computes a similarity coefficient between the MEP distributions of two molecules and finds their relative position that maximizes the similarity. Module MEPCONF performs the same process as MEPCOMP, considering not only the relative position of both molecules but also a conformational degree of freedom of one of them. The most recently developed module, MEPPAR, is another modification of MEPCOMP in order to compute the MEP similarity between two molecules, but only taking into account a particular plane. The latter module is particularly useful to compare MEP distributions generated by systems of aromatic rings. MEPSIM can use several wavefunction computation approaches to obtain MEP distributions. MEPSIM has a menu type interface to simplify the following tasks: creation of input files from output files of external programs (GAUSSIAN and AMPAC/MOPAC), setting the parameters for the current computation, and submitting jobs to the batch queues of the computer. MEPSIM has been coded in FORTRAN and its current version runs on VMS/VAX computers.     

Magnetization Lifetimes Prediction and Measurements Using Long-Lived Spin States in Endogenous Molecules

Nuclear magnetization storage in biologically-relevant molecules opens new possibilities for the investigation of metabolic pathways, provided the lifetimes of magnetization are sufficiently long. Dissolution-dynamic nuclear polarization-based spin-order enhancement, sustained by long-lived states can measure the ratios between concentrations of endogenous molecules on a cellular pathway. These ratios can be used as meters of enzyme function. Biological states featuring intracellular amino-acid concentrations that are depleted or replenished in the course of in-cell or in-vivo tests of drugs or radiation treatments can be revealed. Progressing from already-established long-lived states, we investigated related spin order in the case of amino acids and other metabolites featuring networks of coupled spins counting up to eight nuclei. We detail a new integrated theoretical approach between quantum chemistry simulations, chemical shifts, J-couplings information from databanks, and spin dynamics calculations to deduce a priori magnetization lifetimes in biomarkers. The lifetimes of long-lived states for several amino acids were also measured experimentally in order to ascertain the approach. Experimental values were in fair agreement with the computed ones and prior data in the literature.
