Aluminum Lon Removal from Monoaluminum Ovotransferrin by Pyrophosphate

The rates at which aluminum was removed from the N- and C-terminal monoaluminum ovotransferrins by pyrophosphate were evaluated by UV difference spectra in 0.01 mol/L Hepes, pH=7.4 and at 37℃. Pesudo first-order rate constants as a function of pyrophosphate concentration were measured. The results indicate that the pathways of aluminum removal are different. For the N-terminal binding site, aluminum removal follows simple saturation kinetics, while the removal of aluminum from the C-terminal binding site reverts to the combination of saturation and first-order kinetics. The saturation component is consistent with a rate-limiting conformational change in the protein as has been reported. We propose that the first-order kinetics mechanism is attributed to a pre-equilibrium process. The rate constants of saturation kinetics are accelerated from both terminals with the addition of 0.1 mol/L chloride to the monoaluminum ovotransferrin solutions, whereas the rates of the first-order kinetics are decreased for the C-terminal binding site. The effect of chloride ionic strength causes a continuing increase on kobs for the N- and C-terminal binding sites. Moreover, the kinetics behavior of the N-terminal is more easily affected by chloride than that of the C-terminal. In the experiment presumably the N-terminal site is apparently kinetically more labile than the C-terminal site.     

Diterpene derivative and chromone from Hypericum perforatum

A novel diterpene derivative, 5-methyl-5-(4,8,12-trimethyl-tridecyl)-dihydro-furan-2-one (1) and a new chromone, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-methyl-chromen-4-one (2), along with a known compound, phytol (3) have been isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with published values.     

Surface composition and property of film prepared with aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate including fluorinated block copolymer

The aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate (PUA) including small amount of fluorinated block copolymers containing carboxyl groups (PATF), which can be dissolved in water, was used to make films and the surface properties of these films were examined. The experimental data show that the modified PUA film exhibits a hydrophobic surface property, although the original surface of PUA film is hydrophilic. The surface composition of the modified PUA film was measured by ATR and XPS. The results indicate that there is a concentration gradient of the fluorine groups along the lines of thickness of the modified film and towards the outmost surface layer, resulting from the migration of fluorinated blocks to the air side surface of the modified PUA film during the film formation process. However, the PUA film can not be modified effectively by adding the sodium salt of PATF, since the urethane groups in the system are easy to occupy on the surface of the film.

纳米多孔双金属氧化物在镍钛合金纤维上的原位生长及其对多环芳烃的选择性固相微萃取

采用阳极氧化法在镍钛合金(NiTi)纤维上原位生长了双金属氧化物纳米孔(NiTiONPs)涂层,通过扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱(EDS)考察了电解质组成和电压对形貌的影响。将NiTiONPs涂层的NiTi纤维与高效液相色谱-紫外检测器联用,研究了4种典型芳香分析物的萃取性能。结果表明,富含TiO2的NiTiONPs涂层对多环芳烃(PAHs)具有良好的萃取效率,尤其对苯并[a]芘的萃取选择性优于市售聚二甲基硅氧烷纤维和聚丙烯酸酯纤维。在优化条件下,PAHs的线性范围为0.05~200μg/L,相关系数均大于0.999,检出限为0.012~0.134μg/L。对单支纤维日内和日间分析的相对标准偏差(RSDs)分别为4.0%~5.5%和6.0%~6.8%,使用分批组装的5支纤维分析的RSDs为6.4%~7.6%。实际水样分析的加标回收率为84.5%~111.5%。所制备NiTi纤维至少可重复使用250次以上,重现性好。     

Optimization of zinc phosphate coating on 7075-T6 aluminum alloy

A zinc phosphate coating process on 7075-T6 aluminum alloy has been significantly improved through a combined approach of titanium colloid pretreatment, pH level adjustment, fluoride additive and ZnO/H₃PO₄ ratio adjustment. In particular, optimum phosphate coatings were formed in coating baths with a ZnO/H₃PO₄ ratio of 0.205 and 0.256. Coating morphology studied by SEM reveals that the adjustment in the coating procedure produces an improved crystalline coating layer with high coverage and small grain size. For coatings formed in a bath with a ratio of 0.205, the coverage of the crystalline patches on top of the amorphous coating base is almost complete. The chemical composition of the coating layers has been characterized by XPS and SIMS. The crystalline and amorphous coating phases formed in the bath with a ratio of 0.205 were found to have compositions given schematically as Zn_x(PO₄) and Zn_xAl_y(PO₄), respectively. In contrast, neither coating phase formed in the bath with a ratio of 0.256 shows the presence of Al.     

DFT study and Monte Carlo simulation on proton transfers of 2-amino-2-oxazoline, 2-amino-2-thiazoline, and 2-amino-2-imidazoline in the gas phase and in water

Density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation with free energy perturbation (FEP) techniques have been used to study the tautomeric proton transfer reaction of 2-amino-2-oxazoline, 2-amino-2-thiazoline, and 2-amino-2-imidazoline in the gas phase and in water. Two reaction pathways were considered: the direct and water-assisted transfers. The optimized structures and thermodynamic properties of stationary points for the title reaction system in the gas phase were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p) level of theory. The potential energy profiles along the minimum energy path in the gas phase and in water were obtained. The study of the solvent effect of water on the proton transfer of 2-amino-2-oxozoline, 2-amino-2-thiazoline, and 2-amino-2-imidazoline indicates that water as a solvent is favorable for the water-assisted process and slows down the rate of the direct transfer pathway.
