1H‐detection can greatly improve spectral sensitivity in biological solid‐state NMR (ssNMR), thus allowing the study of larger and more complex proteins. However, the general requirement to perdeuterate proteins critically curtails the potential of 1H‐detection by the loss of aliphatic side‐chain protons, which are important probes for protein structure and function. Introduced herein is a labelling scheme for 1H‐detected ssNMR, and it gives high quality spectra for both side‐chain and backbone protons, and allows quantitative assignments and aids in probing interresidual contacts. Excellent 1H resolution in membrane proteins is obtained, the topology and dynamics of an ion channel were studied. This labelling scheme will open new avenues for the study of challenging proteins by ssNMR. 相似文献
The possibility of constructing symmetrical stabilized oscillator models that operate in several phases instead of operating in two phases, as is more usual, is considered in the present paper. In particular, symmetrical oscillator models operating in three phases are discussed comprehensively. An interesting feature of their dynamic behaviour, e.g. the appearance of limit cycles which are regionally stable and not orbitally stable, as is the case in the two phase counterpart, is suggested and dealt with. 相似文献
New methods are needed to modify silk biomaterials with bioactive molecules for tissue engineering and drug delivery. In the present study, silk fibroin in solution or in microsphere format was coupled with NeutrAvidin via carbodiimide chemistry. Silk fibroin retained its self‐assembly features after reaction. It was found that more than four NeutrAvidin molecules bound to one silk molecule. Non‐specific binding of biotin or NeutrAvidin to silk microspheres could be reduced by pre‐treatment of the microspheres with BSA or post‐treatment with detergent. The NeutrAvidin‐coupled silk microspheres were coupled with biotinylated anti‐CD3 antibody and the functionalized microspheres were able to specifically bind to the CD3 positive T‐lymphocytic cell line Jurkat.
Let M be a commutative, cancellative, atomic monoid and x a nonunit in M. We define ω(x)=n if n is the smallest positive integer with the property that whenever x∣a1???at, where each ai is an atom, there is a T?{1,2,…,t} with |T|≤n such that x∣∏k∈Tak. The ω-function measures how far x is from being prime in M. In this paper, we give an algorithm for computing ω(x) in any numerical monoid. Simple formulas for ω(x) are given for numerical monoids of the form 〈n,n+1,…,2n?1〉, where n≥3, and 〈n,n+1,…,2n?2〉, where n≥4. The paper then focuses on the special case of 2-generator numerical monoids. We give a formula for computing ω(x) in this case and also necessary and sufficient conditions for determining when x is an atom. Finally, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of ω(x) by computing \(\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\frac{\omega(x)}{x}\). 相似文献
The [(M6L12i)L6a]n− and [(M6L8i)L6a] units (a = apical, i = inner) constitute the basic building blocks in the octahedral cluster chemistry. Nano-sized metallic clusters are easily obtained by solid state synthesis with transition elements associated with halogen or chalcogen. The intrinsic properties of M6 cluster units—one or two electron reversible redox process, magnetism and luminescence—depend on the nature of the metal and ligands. The solubilisation of M6 solid state compounds provides [(M6L12i)L6a]n− or [(M6L8i)L6a]n− building blocks with individual properties that can be further used for the design of hybrid organic/inorganic materials. Several examples of solid state precursors are presented as well as substitution reactions of apical ligands in solution. Indeed, hexacyano M6 clusters are obtained by direct reaction of solid state precursors in aqueous KCN solutions. Low dimensional frameworks are subsequently obtained by recrystallisation of hexacyano M6 clusters with transition elements. The functionalisation of cluster proceeds in two steps. The first one consists in the replacement of apical halogens of cluster unit precursors by labile groups as CF3SO3 (triflate) or solvent molecules after solution reaction. The second one consists in the substitution of the labile groups by functionalised phenolate or pyridine ligands. 相似文献
