A Study of the Probe Effect on the Apparent Image of Biological Atomic Force Microscopy

The atomic force microscopy (AFM) possesses high spatial resolution and it is compatible with liquid environments. AFM can provide possibility to study a wide range of biological problems at the molecular level and acquire topological information at nanometre resolution under physiological conditions1,2. However, a major problem for image reconstruction of biological specimens is that structures of most biological molecules are very soft and delicate, which could be easily deformed and dama…

Efficient asymmetric synthesis of the vasopeptidase inhibitor BMS-189921

[reaction: see text] An efficient asymmetric synthesis of the vasopeptidase inhibitor BMS-189921 was accomplished. Two short enantioselective syntheses of the common key intermediate (S)-alpha-aminoazepinone 6b were developed. Olefin 3 was converted to 6b via asymmetric hydrogenation. Alternatively, enyne 12 was converted to racemic alpha-aminoazepinone 15b, which was transformed to 6b by a practical dynamic resolution.     

Reflection and transmission of waves near the localization threshold

A theory is presented for propagation of waves in bounded media near the mobility edge, based on the self-consistent theory for localization. It predicts a spatially inhomogeneous diffusion constant that leads to scale dependence in enhanced backscattering and transmission.     

Frequency-domain technique for optical property measurements in moderately scattering media

We demonstrate a reflection geometry frequency-domain technique that is suitable for measurement of the optical properties of a medium with moderate scatter and absorption (mu(s) and mu(a) ~ 1 m(-1)). Variations in absorption and scatter produce opposing tends in the amplitude signal and common trends in the phase signal, allowing unique determination of absorption and scattering coefficients for a given phase function. An analytical model based on single-scattering events gives good agreement with experimental measurements.     

改性硫氧镁胶凝材料的配制及性能研究

为确定工业级轻烧氧化镁粉与七水硫酸镁溶液配制改性硫氧镁胶凝材料的最优参数,分别研究了不同氧化镁/七水硫酸镁摩尔比,硫酸镁溶液浓度及水稳剂水玻璃对硫氧镁胶凝材料工作和力学性能的影响.结果表明:随着氧化镁/硫酸镁摩尔比的提高,硫氧镁水泥的初凝时间逐渐缩短,流动性逐渐降低,抗压和抗折强度逐渐提高;随着七水硫酸镁浓度的提高,硫氧镁水泥的抗压抗折强度也呈现增长趋势,MgO:MgSO4·7H2O:H2O摩尔比为14:1:12时,硫氧镁胶凝材浆体的28d抗压和抗折强度分别达到38.3MPa和7.0MPa.耐水性研究表明,加入氧化镁质量2%的水玻璃可以很好地改善硫氧镁水泥的耐水性.

Dynamic metal-ligand coupling in the infrared MCD spectra of the cobalt(II) tetrahalides

The axial single-crystal magnetic circular dichroism spectra of Cs₃ZnCl₅/Co²⁺ and Cs₃ZnBr₅/Co²⁺ have been measured over the 4000–7000 cm^?1 region of the ⁴A₂ → ⁴T₁ (F) transition at ambient and liquid-helium temperature. The B/D and C/D terms obtained give transition moment ratios, 〈t₂∥m∥t₂〉/〈e∥m∥t₂〉, in accord with the value required (?3^{$\text{1}\text{2}$}/2^{$\text{1}\text{2}$}) by a dynamic ligand-polarisation model for d-electron transition probabilities in tetrahedral metal complexes.     

Fluorescent Molecular Logic Gates and Pourbaix Sensors in Polyacrylamide Hydrogels

Polyacrylamide hydrogels formed by free radical polymerisation were formed by entrapping anthracene and 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide fluorescent logic gates based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and/or internal charge transfer (ICT). The non-covalent immobilisation of the molecules in the hydrogels resulted in semi-solid YES, NOT, and AND logic gates. Two molecular AND gates, examples of Pourbaix sensors, were tested in acidic aqueous methanol with ammonium persulfate, a strong oxidant, and displayed greater fluorescence quantum yields than previously reported. The logic hydrogels were exposed to aqueous solutions with chemical inputs, and the fluorescence output response was viewed under 365 nm UV light. All of the molecular logic gates diffuse out of the hydrogels to some extent when placed in solution, particularly those with secondary basic amines. The study exemplifies an effort of taking molecular logic gates from homogeneous solutions into the realm of solid-solution environments. We demonstrate the use of Pourbaix sensors as pE-pH indicators for monitoring oxidative and acidic conditions, notably for excess ammonium persulfate, a reagent used in the polymerisation of SDS-polyacrylamide gels.
