The current study describes the synthesis of a new 1,3-indandione derivative with conjugated N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 moiety (4). The crystal structure of compound 4 was solved and its optical properties were studied in various solvents and in presence of alkaline and alkaline-earth metal ions. Quantum chemical (DFT) methods were employed to describe the structure and the optical properties of the studied compound and its complexes. The obtained results indicated that the synthesis of compound 4 using acid-catalyzed aldol reaction between 2-acetyl-1,3-indandione and the corresponding aldehyde is accompanied with an unexpected deacetylation step. In this way, the N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 moiety is directly conjugated with the 1,3-indandione fragment, known as a very strong electron acceptor. Therefore, the absorption spectra of 4 are only slightly influenced by complexation with Ba2+ and Sr2+ ions. 相似文献
A novel nanostructured platform for pyruvate oxidase biosensors comprises poly(neutral red) (PNR) prepared by electropolymerization of NR in ethaline deep eutectic solvent (DES) with acid dopant, on a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Characterization was by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Ascorbate and H2O2 gave a better response at PNRDES/GCE than at PNRaq/GCE. Biosensors for pyruvate and phosphate, immobilizing pyruvate oxidase onto PNRDES/MWCNT/GCE enabled selective determination of pyruvate and phosphate, with micromolar limits of detection. Pyruvate was determined in onion samples and phosphate in water samples. 相似文献

A variety has definable factor congruences if there is a first order formula φ which defines each factor congruence in terms of its associated central element. We study the case in which φ is a conjunction of equations. 相似文献
The present study aimed at maximizing cellulase production by Penicillium funiculosum using sequential experimental design methodology for optimizing the concentrations of nitrogen sources. Three sequential experimental designs were performed. The first and the second series of experiments consisted of a 24 and a 23 factorial designs, respectively, and in the third one, a central composite rotational design was used for better visualizing the optimum conditions. The following nitrogen sources were evaluated: urea, ammonium sulfate, peptone, and yeast extract. Peptone and ammonium sulfate were removed from the medium optimization since they did not present significant statistical effect on cellulase production. The optimal concentrations of urea and yeast extract predicted by the model were 0.97 and 0.36 g/L, respectively, which were validated experimentally. By the use of the desirability function, it was possible to maximize the three main enzyme activities simultaneously, which resulted in values for FPase of 227 U/L, for CMCase of 6,917 U/L, and for β-glucosidase of 1,375 U/L. These values corresponded to increases of 3.3-, 3.2-, and 6.7-folds, respectively, when compared to those obtained in the first experimental design. The results showed that the use of sequential experimental designs associated to the use of the desirability function can be used satisfactorily to maximize cellulase production by P. funiculosum. 相似文献
Enzymes cleaving the biopolymer adhesives of fouling organisms are attracting attention for the prevention of biofouling. We report a versatile and robust method to confine the serine protease Subtilisin A (or Subtilisin Carlsberg) to surfaces to be protected against biofouling. The approach consists of the covalent immobilization of the protease onto maleic anhydride copolymer thin film coatings. High‐swelling poly(ethylene‐alt‐maleic anhydride) (PEMA) copolymer layers permitted significantly higher enzyme loadings and activities than compact poly(octadecene‐alt‐maleic anhydride) (POMA) films. Substantial fractions of the immobilized, active enzyme layers were found to be conserved upon storage in deionized water for several hours. Ongoing studies explore the potentialities of the developed bioactive coatings to reduce the adhesion of various fouling organisms.
The perovskite type oxides (nominal formula LaTi0.5Mg0.5O3) with addition of Pd were prepared by annealing the ethanol solution of precursors in nitrogen flow at 1200°C and characterized
by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed desorption of NO (NO-TPD).
Their activity was evaluated for NO reduction by CO under stoichiometric and oxidizing conditions and for direct decomposition
of NO. Pd substituted samples exhibited high NO reduction activity and selectivity towards N2. Nearly complete elimination of NO was achieved at 200°C. Two simultaneous reactions, NO reduction by CO and direct decomposition
of NO as well as two forms of NO adsorption were observed on the surface of Pd substituted perovskite samples. The distribution
of Pd in different catalytically active sites or complexes on at the catalyst surface may be responsible for the proceeding
of two reactions: NO reduction with CO and direct NO decomposition.
