Electrochemical biosensing for dsDNA damage induced by PbSe quantum dots under UV irradiation

<正>An electrochemical sensor for the detection of the natural double-stranded DNA(dsDNA) damage induced by PbSe quantum dots(QDs) under UV irradiation was developed.The biosensing membranes were prepared by successively assembling 3- mercaptopropionic acid,polycationic poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium) and dsDNA on the surface of the gold electrode.Damage of dsDNA was fulfilled by immersing the sensing membrane electrode in PbSe QDs suspension and illuminating it with an UV lamp. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to detect dsDNA damage with Co(phen)_3~(3+) as the electroactive probe.The UV irradiation,Pb~(2+) ions liberated from the PbSe QDs under the UV irradiation and the reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated in the presence of the PbSe QDs also under the UV irradiation were the three factors of inducing the dsDNA damage.The synergistic effect of the three factors might dramatically enhance the damage of dsDNA.This electrochemical sensor provided a simple method for detecting DNA damage,and may be used for investigating the DNA damage induced by other QDs.

Investigation of the interaction of carbofuran and DNA by voltammetry and fluorescence with the aid of chemometrics

<正>The interactions of carbofuran and DNA were studied using voltammetry and fluorescence spectroscopy.The formation of carbofuran-DNA makes the current peak of DNA decreased by voltammetry method.The binding number(n) and constant(K_a) for complex carbofuran-DNA were calculated to be 1.06±0.04 and 0.11±0.03mol~(-1) L,respectively by fluorescence measurement.Chemometrics approach,such as singular value decomposition(SVD) was used to evaluate the number of spectral species in the drug-DNA binding process.And the pure spectra and concentration profiles in the kinetic system were clearly deduced by multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares(MCR-ALS) with the initial estimates by evolving factor analysis(EFA).     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at platinum electrode modified with Eu-Fe cyanide-bridged binuclear complexes

<正>The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at the platinum electrode modified with Eu-Fe cyanide-bridged binuclear complexes (Eu-Fe film) was investigated for the first time by cyclic voltammetry.Compared with the bare platinum electrode,the results showed that the modified electrode had excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of methanol;the oxidation peak potential shifted more negatively and the peak current increased about twenty times.The electrooxidation of methanol at the modified electrode with Eu-Fe cyanide-bridged binuclear complexes material exhibited the better tolerance capacity to poison of intermediate species;the peak current was proportional to the concentration of methanol in the range of 0.5-2.0mol/L (R~2 = 0.9991,n =7),which was a comparatively wider linear range.Moreover,based on the linear relationship between the peak current and the square root of scan rate,electrocatalytic oxidation process of methanol was confirmed to be a diffusion control process.Furthermore,according to the counting of electron transfer number(n_α) in the rate-limiting step and the slope of linear equation between acidity of electrolyte and the oxidation peak potential(E_p),the possible mechanism of the electrooxidation of methanol at the modified electrode was primarily discussed.

Simple preparation of Mn–N-codoped titania photocatalyst with visible light response

Mn–N-codoped TiO₂ nanocrystal photocatalysts responsive to visible light were synthesized for the first time by a simple hydrothermal synthesis method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurement indicated that all the photocatalysts have an anatase crystallite structure, and that increase of the doping concentration had little effect on the structure and particle size. Compared to N-doped TiO₂, a shift of the absorption edge of Mn–N-codoped TiO₂ to a lower energy and a stronger absorption in the visible light region were observed. The Mn–N-codoped TiO₂ showed higher photocatalytic reactivity than undoped TiO₂ or N-doped TiO₂ for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The highest photocatalytic activity was achieved on 0.4 mol% Mn–N–TiO₂ calcined at 673 K.

We report the independent invention of perovskite ferroelectric nanowires strontium bismuth tantalate (SrBi₂Ta₂O₉, SBT). Electrophoretic sol–gel techniques have been used successfully. The morphology and structures are analyzed via SEM, TEM and XRD. SBT nanowires and nanoparticles filled template revealed 30 and 40 μm long, respectively. SBT are proved to be a single phase of orthorhombic perovskite structure. As it indicated, SBT nanowires has been crystallized at 700 °C. To minimize surface polarity, SBT nanowires oriented preferentially along the growing axis (c axis) by translation and rotation of atomic clusters of SBT.     

Amminelithium Amidoborane Li(NH3)NH2BH3: A New Coordination Compound with Favorable Dehydrogenation Characteristics

The monoammoniate of lithium amidoborane, Li(NH₃)NH₂BH₃, was synthesized by treatment of LiNH₂BH₃ with ammonia at room temperature. This compound exists in the amorphous state at room temperature, but at ?20 °C crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with lattice parameters of a=9.711(4), b=8.7027(5), c=7.1999(1) Å, and V=608.51 ų. The thermal decomposition behavior of this compound under argon and under ammonia was investigated. Through a series of experiments we have demonstrated that Li(NH₃)NH₂BH₃ is able to absorb/desorb ammonia reversibly at room temperature. In the temperature range of 40–70 °C, this compound showed favorable dehydrogenation characteristics. Specifically, under ammonia this material was able to release 3.0 equiv hydrogen (11.18 wt %) rapidly at 60 °C, which represents a significant advantage over LiNH₂BH₃. It has been found that the formation of the coordination bond between ammonia and Li⁺ in LiNH₂BH₃ plays a crucial role in promoting the combination of hydridic B? H bonds and protic N? H bonds, leading to dehydrogenation at low temperature.
