Observation of Δn=1 dielectronic recombination resonances of boronlike argon

We report here an observation ofn=1 dielectronic recombination resonances of boron-like argon in the energy region 140–195 eV. With the cooler's electron beam as a target, a resolution of approximately 0.6 eV FWHM was obtained in the observed energy range. The energies of the doubly excited states were estimated with a Hartree-Fock calculation, which indicates that the observed resonances are from Ar¹³⁺(1s²2s²2p) to Ar¹²⁺(1s²2s²3l3l) and Ar¹²⁺(1s²2s2p3l3l) transitions.

二硫代氨基甲酸螯合树脂化学修饰电极的制备及银离子的测定

将纯石墨电极经三氧化二铝抛光与浓硝酸和浓硫酸(1+1)混合酸使其极性化,之后于1 g·L-1聚氯乙烯(PVC)环己酮溶液10μL中浸渍片刻,取出,用红外灯照射烘干30 min,冷却后,将电极置于含有哌嗪、K3PO4及二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)(2:1:8)的混合液中使其反应;最后在氢氧化钠存在下与二硫化碳反应,用水洗至中性,即制成修饰有二硫代氨基甲酸螯合树脂的石墨电极,将其用于银的测定。与未修饰的电极相比此电极具有较高的灵敏度和较好的选择性,在1．0×10-8～1．0×10-5mol·L-1范围内,峰电流与浓度呈线性关系,检出限为5．0×10-9mol·L-1。     

Oligodeoxyfluorosides: Strong Sequence Dependence of Fluorescence Emission

We describe the properties of a series of oligomeric polyfluorophores assembled on the DNA backbone. The 11 oligomers (oligodeoxyfluorosides, ODFs), 4-7 monomers in length, were composed of only two fluorescent monomers and a spacer in varied sequences, and were designed to test how fluorescent nucleobases can interact electronically to yield complexity in fluorescence emission. The monomer fluorophores were deoxyribosides of pyrene and perylene, which emit light in violet and blue wavelengths, respectively. The experiments show that simple variation in sequence and spacing can dramatically change fluorescence, yielding emission maxima ranging from 380 to 557 nm and visible colors from violet to orange-red. Fluorescence lifetime data, excitation spectra, and absorption data point to a number of multi-fluorophore electronic interactions, including pyrene-pyrene and perylene-perylene excimers, pyrene-perylene exciplexes, as well as monomer dye emissions, contributing to the final spectral outcomes. Thus, two simple fluorophores can be readily combined to give emissions over much of the visible spectrum, all requiring only a single excitation. The results demonstrate that fluorescent nucleobases in oligomeric form can act cooperatively as electronic units, and that fluorophore sequence in such oligomers is as important as fluorophore composition in determining fluorescence properties.     

Antihypertensive Effect of Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptide Obtained from Hen Ovotransferrin

Angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was isolated from the hen ovotransferrin hydrolysate using chymotryptic hydrolysis by two steps of reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography. The amino sequence of this novel peptide was identified as Lys‐Val‐Arg‐Glu‐Gly‐Thr‐Thr‐Tyr that inhibited ACE activity in vitro in a concentration‐dependent manner with an effective concentration (IC₅₀) of 102.8 μM. Also, this inhibition was identified as noncompetitive using the Lineweaver‐Burk plot. Moreover, the antihypertensive action of this novel peptide was investigated by an intravenous injection into spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). A dose‐dependent reduction of systolic blood pressure by this peptide was observed after 40 min of treatment and it decreased the blood pressure markedly at the maximal dose (1 nmol/mL/kg). The maximal blood pressure lowering activity of this peptide was calculated as 163% of captopril (10 pmol/mL/kg) that was used as positive control. In conclusion, the obtained data suggests that Lys‐Val‐Arg‐Glu‐Gly‐Thr‐Thr‐Tyr has an ability to inhibit ACE activity and decrease the systolic blood pressure in hypertensive animals.
