An Improved Approach for Practical Synthesis of 5-Hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) Phosphoramidite and Triphosphate

5-Hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) phosphoramidite and triphosphate are important building blocks in 5hmdC-containing DNA synthesis for epigenetic studies. However, efficient and practical methods for the synthesis of these compounds are still limited. The current research provides an intensively improved synthetic method that enables the preparation of commercially available cyanoethyl-protected 5hmdC phosphoramidite with an overall yield of 39% on 5 g scale. On the basis of facile and efficient accesses to cyanoethyl protected-5hmdU and 5hmdC intermediates, two efficient synthetic routes for 5hmdC triphosphate were also developed.     

Development of Optogenetic Dual-Switch System for Rewiring Metabolic Flux for Polyhydroxybutyrate Production

Several strategies, including inducer addition and biosensor use, have been developed for dynamical regulation. However, the toxicity, cost, and inflexibility of existing strategies have created a demand for superior technology. In this study, we designed an optogenetic dual-switch system and applied it to increase polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. First, an optimized chromatic acclimation sensor/regulator (RBS10–CcaS#10–CcaR) system (comprising an optimized ribosomal binding site (RBS), light sensory protein CcaS, and response regulator CcaR) was selected for a wide sensing range of approximately 10-fold between green-light activation and red-light repression. The RBS10–CcaS#10–CcaR system was combined with a blue light-activated YF1–FixJ–PhlF system (containing histidine kinase YF1, response regulator FixJ, and repressor PhlF) engineered with reduced crosstalk. Finally, the optogenetic dual-switch system was used to rewire the metabolic flux for PHB production by regulating the sequences and intervals of the citrate synthase gene (gltA) and PHB synthesis gene (phbCAB) expression. Consequently, the strain RBS34, which has high gltA expression and a time lag of 3 h, achieved the highest PHB content of 16.6 wt%, which was approximately 3-fold that of F34 (expressed at 0 h). The results indicate that the optogenetic dual-switch system was verified as a practical and convenient tool for increasing PHB production.

Vapor-phase synthesis of V-butylaniline from aniline and 1-butanol over Cu/SiO2 catalyst

The Cu/SiO2 catalyst prepared by incipient wetness method exhibited very high activity and selectivity for the vapor-phase synthesis of JV-butylaniline from aniline and 1-butanol. When Cu loading was 0.70 mmol/g-SiO2 and the catalyst precursor was calcined at 500 ℃, 1-butanol conversion reached 99%, and the selectivity of JV-butylaniline exceeded 97%.     

Investigating bottom-quark Yukawa interaction at Higgs factory

Measuring the fermion Yukawa coupling constants is important for understanding the origin of the fermion masses and their relationship with spontaneously electroweak symmetry breaking.In contrast,some new physics(NP)models change the Lorentz structure of the Yukawa interactions between standard model(SM)fermions and the SM-like Higgs boson,even in their decoupling limit.Thus,the precise measurement of the fermion Yukawa interactions is a powerful tool of NP searching in the decoupling limit.In this work,we show the possibility of investigating the Lorentz structure of the bottom-quark Yukawa interaction with the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson for future e^+e^- colliders.     

钛硅沸石中的一种非活性钛物种

Synthesis of the titanium silicalite TS-1 was first reported by Taramasso et al[1]in 1983. TS-1 has received considerable interest during the last decade because of its unique catalytic properties in oxidation reactions involving H2O2 as the oxidant. It is accepted that the extraframework Ti species in TS-1 favor the decomposition of H2O2and should be avoided. But in the present study, it was observed that there was a kind of Ti species inactive in both the oxidation reaction and the decomposition of H2O2.     

Cu-Mn-Zn/Y直接合成二甲醚催化剂中锌和锰的协同调节作用

通过对Y型分子筛负载Cu-Mn、Cu-Zn和Cu-Mn-Zn催化剂的结构、表面性质及其直接合成二甲醚反应活性的对比,发现Mn和Zn对催化剂还原性能的影响作用相反,对催化剂吸附H₂和CO的影响也不同。Mn和Zn的单独添加或共同添加引起催化剂结构和组分之间相互作用程度的改变,是造成催化剂活性和选择性变化的主要原因。两者的协同作用,能调整催化剂的还原性能和吸附性能达到适合的状态,从而使得催化剂具有高的二甲醚合成活性。     

Partially crystallized Pd nanoparticles decorated TiO2 prepared by atmospheric-pressure cold plasma and its enhanced photocatalytic performance

TiO2 decorated with partially crystallized Pd nanoparticles （Pd/TiO2-P） was successfully prepared by atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma. The XRD and XPS analyses proved that Pd ions were reduced to partially crystallized metallic Pd nanoparticles in Pd/TiO2-P. The XPS spectra also indicated that an enhanced metal-support interaction was formed due to the existence of partially crystallized Pd nanoparticles with lower coordination number in Pd/TiO2-P. Photocatalytic activity of Pd/TiO2-P was much higher than that of TiO2 samples decorated with well crystallized Pd nanoparticles.
