On the electrostatic properties of papain in relation to its enzymatic activity

The electrostatic potentials and fields created by the thiol protease, papain, are computed on the surface envelope of the protein and in the region of its active site using a technique based on accurate multipole expansions of the electron density of appropriately chosen subunits. The effect of binding counterions to the protein is considered specifically. The possible role of the “electrostatic environment” in the functioning of the enzyme is discussed and it is found that this environment can favor the proton transfer between Cys 25 and His 159 that is thought to initiate its mode of action, but that the reasons for this appear more complicated than earlier models would suggest.     

表面效应对γ-Fe2O3微粉饱和磁化强度的影响

我们制备了直径为80—700A的γ-Fe₂O₃微粉,测量了它的比饱和磁化强度σ_s和比表面积S_a,得出经验公式:σ_s(s=σ_s(∞)(1—aS_a)。假定微粉由两部分组成:第一部分是表面层,在磁场的作用下,它的磁矩只能转到与磁场成某个角度;第二部分是内部,它的磁矩可以转到磁场的方向。从这个简单的模型出发,上述的经验公式可以得到较好的解释。 关键词：

Photodegradation catalyst discovery by high-throughput experiment

A high-throughput experimental methodology was developed for photocatalysis reaction. In this work, a CCD imaging analysis system and photocatalytic reactor for UV light was designed and tested. By making use of the technologies, we have screened several catalyst libraries. From the SiO2-supported single component catalyst library, we found that TiO2, ZrO2, Nb2O5, and WO3 were good candidates for highly active catalyst formulation. We designed and screened several triangle catalyst libraries and found that the WO3- and Nb2O5-codoped TiO2 catalyst showed much higher photodegradation activities for the degradation of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine than did the pure TiO2 catalyst. The doping of ZrO2 into TiO2 did not generate apparent positive effects on catalytic activity.     

Low-temperature synthesis of single crystalline Ag2S nanowires on silver substrates

We report on the successful synthesis of silver sulfide (Ag(2)S) nanowires by a simple and mild gas-solid reaction approach. For the nanowire synthesis, a preoxidized silver substrate is exposed to an atmosphere of an O(2)/H(2)S mixture at room temperature or slightly above. The resulting Ag(2)S nanowires are phase pure with a monoclinic crystal structure and have diameters of a few tens of nanometers and lengths up to 100 mum. The influence of reaction conditions on the diameter, length, and morphology of the Ag(2)S nanowires has been studied by a number of structural and spectroscopic techniques. The nanowire growth mechanism on the Ag substrate has been discussed, which is likely characterized by continuous deposition at the tip. Additionally, we demonstrate thinning and cutting of individual Ag(2)S nanowires with electron beams and laser beams, which are potentially useful for nanowire manipulation and engineering.     

Depositional characteristics of metal coating on single-crystal TiO2 nanowires

Ultralong single-crystalline TiO(2) nanowires were prepared by a simple, low-cost solvothermal process. Silver nitrate, neodymium chloride, ceric nitrate, stannic chloride hydrate, and cadmium chloride were used as metal sources and deposited by reduction on the surface of TiO(2) nanowires. The composites were subsequently characterized by transmission electron microscopy, and their coverage was compared. The nature of the coatings on the TiO(2) nanowires varies from metal to metal. A novel approach on modified one-dimensional nanostructures with metal coating was developed, which has great potential applications in catalysts, sensors, and nanoscale devices.
