Cyclic Peptides as Inhibitors of Amyloid Fibrillation

Many neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or Huntington’s disease, occur as a result of amyloid protein fibril formation and cell death induced by this process. Cyclic peptides (CPs) and their derivatives form a new class of powerful inhibitors that prevent amyloid fibrillation and decrease the cytotoxicity of aggregates. The strategies for designing CPs are described, with respect to their amino acid sequence and/or conformational similarity to amyloid fibrils. The implications of CPs for the study and possible treatment of amyloid‐related diseases are discussed.

以三聚氰胺(MA)和甲醛为原料,添加氧化石墨烯(GO),通过原位聚合法制备了环境友好的石墨烯/三聚氰胺甲醛树脂(GE/MF)纳米导电复合材料.采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、X-射线衍射(XRD)及场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)分析了复合材料的结构和形貌.通过高阻仪和热重分析仪研究了石墨烯对三聚氰胺甲醛树脂导电性和热稳定性的影响,并检测了其甲醛含量.结果表明,超声剥离之后的GO与三聚氰胺甲醛树脂自组装形成了"三明治"夹层结构的复合材料,在GO被还原成GE的同时,大大降低了产品中游离甲醛含量,提高了复合材料的导电性和热稳定性.     

微流控芯片分选富集循环肿瘤细胞的研究进展

近年来,循环肿瘤细胞(CTCs)研究得到了越来越多的关注,许多研究报告已经证实其在肿瘤转移的早期诊断、治疗方案选择、个体化治疗及探索肿瘤转移机制等方面具有潜在的价值,然而CTCs在循环系统中的含量极低,这成为限制其临床相关应用的主要难点。微流控芯片技术具有低成本、快速、高通量及操作简单等优势,利用微流控芯片可实现CTCs的高速、高回收率、高纯度的分选富集,近年来得到广泛的关注。本文综述了近年来在微流控芯片内进行CTCs分选富集的研究并探讨了各种方法的优缺点,并在本研究团队的研究基础上进行了展望。

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FeZSM 48 IN A NON AQUEOUS SYSTEM

FeZSM-48 molecular sieve has been synthesized for the first time in a non aqueous system of Na 2O-SiO2-Al2O3-Fe2O3-H2N(CH2)6NH2-(C2H5)3N. Its X ray diffraction pattern and scanning electron micrograph show that it has ZSM-48 topological structure. Framework IR spectra and TG/DTA analysis provide evidences for the incorporation of Fe(III) ions into the skeleton. The signal g =4.3 in ESR spectra indicates that tetrahedral coordination of Fe(III) presents in the framework.

Amperometric Tyrosinase Biosensor Based on Carbon Nanotube–Titania–Nafion Composite Film

A highly sensitive and stable amperometric tyrosinase biosensor has been developed based on multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) dispersed in mesoporous composite films of sol–gel‐derived titania and perfluorosulfonated ionomer (Nafion). Tyrosinase was immobilized within a thin film of MWCNT–titania–Nafion composite film coated on a glassy carbon electrode. Phenolic compounds were determined by the direct reduction of biocatalytically‐liberated quinone species at ?100 mV versus Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl) without a mediator. The present tyrosinase biosensor showed good analytical performances in terms of response time, sensitivity, and stability compared to those obtained with other biosensors based on different sol–gel matrices. Due to the large pore size of the MWCNT–titania–Nafion composite, the present biosensor showed remarkably fast response time with less than 3 s. The present biosensor responds linearly to phenol from 1.0×10^?7 M to 5.0×10^?5 M with an excellent sensitivity of 417 mA/M and a detection limit of 9.5×10^?8 M (S/N=3). The enzyme electrode retained 89% of its initial activity after 2 weeks of storage in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0.     

Synthesis, structure and ethylene polymerization behavior of titanium phosphinoamide complexes

(Phosphinoamide)(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) complexes of the type Cp*TiCl₂(η²-Ph₂PNR) [Cp*=C₅Me₅; R = t-Bu (2a), R = n-Bu (2b), R = Ph (2c)] have been prepared by the reaction of Cp*TiCl₃ with the corresponding lithium phosphinoamides. The structure of Cp*TiCl₂(η²-Ph₂PN^tBu) (2a) and Cp*TiCl₂(η²-Ph₂PNPh) (2c) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. These complexes exhibited moderate catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO). Catalytic activity of up to 2.5 × 10⁶ g/(mol Ti h) was observed when activated by i-Bu₃Al/Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄.
