前驱体水解对纳米铂形状控制合成的影响

以聚丙烯酸钠(NaPA: M_w ≈ 2100)为保护剂，对比研究了H_2还原K_2PtCl_4 和K_2PtCl_6水溶液制备纳米铂晶粒的形状选择性，揭示了前驱体的水解对纳米铂 晶粒的形状控制合成具有显著影响。文献中通常采用的合成立方形状纳米铂的 K_2PtCl_4前驱体在水溶液中不稳定，避光静置一周会析出黑色沉淀。这种不稳定 性导致了以K_2PtCl_4为Pt前驱体的合成结果难以重复。相比而言，避光静墨的 K_2PtCl_6水溶液很稳定，以它为前驱体合成的纳米铂通常为削角八面体。 K_2PtCl_6水溶液暴露于室内光线中会出现[PtCl_6]~(-2)的光致水解。当[PtCl_6] ~(2-)的紫外特征吸收峰(260nm)由于光致水解完全消失后，以聚丙烯酸钠为保护剂 ，通过H_2还原可以有选择性地(约80%)合成由{100}晶面包裹的立方体形状的纳米 铂。

以XRD、XPS和EXAFS手段对CuO－BaO／Sic2催化剂及其还原态的结构进行了研究．结果表明，在CuO－BaO／SiO2体系中铜和钡都是以氧化态的形式存在，超细SiO2载体对所负载的CuO的结构有影响．随着样品负载量的逐渐降低，Cu－O和Cu－Cu睡的健长和配位数逐渐征小，而且低载量样品的健长和配位数减小的幅度最大．在总负载量＞13．39％的样品中，CuO以晶相的形式存在；总负载量＜13．39％的样品中，CUO呈现单层分布的高分出状态．还原态样品中钢以本价铜的形式存在，随负载量的降低，还原态Cu－Cu健的镇长和配位数也分别呈现出逐渐减小的趋势．还原态中心铜原子在催化剂表面的分布状态基本上保持了氧化态催化剂中CuO物相的分市状态．     

D-葡萄糖D-果糖与硼的有机物形成配合物的稳定性研究

葡萄糖异构酶加速葡萄糖与果糖的平衡,平衡时果糖含量为42％左右,体系中加入一些硼酸盐,果糖的含量提高到80％左右,究其原因可能是由于葡萄糖和果糖与硼酸盐形成不同稳定性的配合物。虽然Roy,Conner,Daris,Belcher,Lorand等都已报导了这些配合物的稳定常数,概括结果分歧较大。Belcher曾首次报导了硼酸与D-果糖的配位数为     

Fluorogenic probes for detecting deacylase and demethylase activity towards post-translationally-modified lysine residues

Reversible enzymatic post-translational modification of the ε-amino groups of lysine residues (e.g. N-acylation reactions) plays an important role in regulating the cellular activities of numerous proteins. This study describes how enzyme catalyzed N-deprotection of lysine residues of non-fluorescent peptide-coumarin probes can be used to generate N-deprotected peptides that undergo spontaneous O- to N-ester transfer reactions (uncatalyzed) to generate a highly fluorescent N-carbamoyl peptide. This enables detection of enzyme catalyzed N-deacetylation, N-demalonylation, N-desuccinylation and N-demethylation reactions activities towards the N-modified lysine residues of these probes using simple ‘turn on’ fluorescent assays.

We developed “turn-on” fluorescent probes that detect enzymatic lysine deacylation and demethylation critical for epigenetic and other cellular phenomena, using intramolecular O- to N-ester transfer reactions.     

Tuning cell adhesion on gradient poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-grafted surfaces

A simple yet versatile method was developed to prepare a low-density polymerization initiator gradient, which was combined with surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to produce a well-defined poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (HEMA) gradient substrate. A smooth variation in film thickness was measured across the gradient, ranging from 20 A to over 80 A, but we observed a nonmonotonic variation in water contact angle. Fits of X-ray reflectivity profiles suggested that at the low graft density end, the polymer chain structure was in a "mushroom" regime, while the polymer chains at high graft density were in a "brush" regime. It was found that the "mushroom" region of the gradient could be made adhesive to cells by adsorbing adhesion proteins, and cell adhesion could be tuned by controlling the density of the polymer grafts. Fibroblasts were seeded on gradients precoated with fibronectin to test cellular responses to this novel substrate, but it was found that cell adhesion did not follow the expected trend; instead, saturated cell adhesion and spreading was found at the low grafting density region.

Liquid chromatographic studies of the effect of phosphate on the binding properties of silica-immobilized bovine serum albumin

High-performance liquid chromatography has been used to examine how phosphate ions affect the binding properties of bovine serum albumin (BSA) immobilized to porous silica. In doing this, the time dependence of the protein to reach conformational equilibrium is measured as a function of the concentration of phosphate in the eluent using the D- and L-isomers of tryptophan and kynurenine as solutes. The overall binding and chiral selectivity (alphaD,L) of the protein toward these solutes appear to be related to two types of effects: one being those that are site-selective and only influence the retention of the L-isomers and the other being those that are nonselective and influence the retention of both enantiomers. An interesting feature of the concentration-dependent data is a maximum in alphaD,L at intermediate phosphate concentrations (i.e., 10 to 50mM phosphate) indicative of both cooperative and antagonistic binding effects. Phosphate eluents within this concentration range provide selectivity advantages, and those at higher concentrations decrease the time required for the protein or column to reach equilibrium. A final set of studies has also been carried out using four alternate buffer systems (i.e., borate, carbonate, acetate, and arsenate eluents). Although the borate eluents affect the BSA's binding properties and alphaD,L similar to the phosphate eluents, the other buffers result in poor separations. Observations from this study are useful in helping to optimize separations carried out on immobilized BSA as well as addressing biological and mechanistic questions related to how anions influence the native binding properties of serum albumins.     

Photocatalytic and antifouling properties of TiO2-based photocatalytic membranes

Photocatalysis has been extensively studied due to its potential ability to avoid the excessive use of chemical reagents and reduce the energy consumption by employing solar energy. Moreover, to alleviate the reduction in the membrane permeation selectivity, separation efficiency, and membrane service life caused by the emerging micro-pollutants and membrane fouling, membrane technology is often coupled with microbial, electrochemical, and catalytic processes. However, although physical/chemical cleaning and membrane module replacement can overcome the inherent limitations caused by membrane fouling and other membrane separation processes, high operating costs limit their practical applications. In this review, common preparation methods for TiO₂ photocatalytic membranes are described in detail, and the main approaches to enhancing their photocatalytic performance are discussed. More importantly, the mechanism of the TiO₂ photocatalytic membrane antifouling process is elucidated, and some applications of photocatalytic membranes in other areas are described. This review systematically outlines future research directions in the field of photocatalytic membrane modification, including metal and non-metal doping, fabrication of heterojunction structures, control over reaction conditions, increase in hydrophilicity, and increase in membrane porosity.     

Effect of Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> on spectral characteristic of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex from spinach

It was studied by spectroscopy that PSII reaction center complex consisting of three polypeptides, D₁, D₂ and Cytb559, were purified from PSII particle of CeCl₃ treated spinach. The results of the experiment show that Ce³⁺ could improve the growth of spinach, and accelerate electron transport of PSII particles. Of chl-a of UV-Vis spectrum of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, Soret band was blue-shifted by 3 nm and Q band by 2 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence emission peak was blue-shifted by 5 nm in CeCl₃-treated spinach compared with the one in control. By the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy methods, it has been found that Ce³⁺ is coordinated with 8 nitrogen atoms in the first coordination shell with Ce-N bond length of 0.253 nm, and Ce³⁺ with 6 oxygen atoms in the second coordination shell with Ce-O bond length of 0.32 nm. However, the secondary structure of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has no significant change after CeCl₃ treated. It might be that Ce³⁺ binds to porphyrin rings of chlorophyll and oxygen of amino acid residue of polypeptide in D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, and then accelerates the primary reaction of PSII, intensifies function of P680⁺ primary electron donor of D1/D2/Cytb559, but there is little change in conformation of PSII reaction center complex.
