In this work, an electrochemical DNA‐based sensor was developed for the detection of the interaction between the anticonvulsant compounds 2‐phthalimido‐N‐substituted phenylethanesulfonamides (PMPES‐derivatives) and 24‐mer short DNA sequences by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) based on both compound and guanine oxidation signals at the renewable carbon graphite electrode (CGE) surface. The influence of compounds on DNA showed differences depending on the nature and position of the substituent on the N‐phenyl ring. Compounds bearing 3‐methoxy, 4‐chloro and 2,6‐dimethyl substituents bind to single stranded probe DNA more strongly than the other derivatives of PMPES. Thus, these compounds were evaluated for use as an electrochemical hybridization label (indicator). 相似文献
Geometry is one of the disciplines children involve within early years of their lives. However, there is not much information about geometry education in Turkish kindergarten classes. The current study aims to examine teachers’ perspectives on teaching geometry in kindergarten classes. The researchers inquired about teachers’ in-class experiences in geometry and asked a series of questions such as “what are the benchmarks in your kindergarten class?”; “what kind of tools and materials you use to teach geometry in your class?”; “what shape do you teach first in your kindergarten class?”; “what do you expect to hear when you asked your students ‘what is square’?”; “how do you teach rectangular?”. The study utilized one of the qualitative research methods, namely phenomenography, to collect the data and analyze the data. The study involved with eight kindergarten teachers who work in different schools in central Kutahya, Turkey. The researchers collected data by conducting face-to-face half-structured interviews. The findings of this phenomenographic research showed that kindergarten teachers have some difficulties in teaching geometry and have lack of knowledge and skills in teaching geometry in kindergarten classes. 相似文献
The proposed polar nucleophilic mechanism of MAO was investigated using quantum chemical calculations employing the semi-empirical PM3 method. In order to mimic the reaction at the enzyme's active site, the reactions between the flavin and the p-substituted benzylamine substrate analogs were modeled. Activation energies and rate constants of all the reactions were calculated and compared with the published experimental data. The results showed that electron-withdrawing groups at the para position of benzylamine increase the reaction rate. A good correlation between the log of the calculated rate constants and the electronic parameter (sigma) of the substituent was obtained. These results agree with the previous kinetic experiments on the effect of p-substituents on the reduction of MAO-A by benzylamine analogs. In addition, the calculated rate constants showed a correlation with the rate of reduction of the flavin in MAO-A. In order to verify the results obtained from the PM3 method single-point B3LYP/6-31G*//PM3 calculations were performed. These results demonstrated a strong reduction in the activation energy for the reaction of benzylamine derivatives having electron-withdrawing substituents, which is in agreement with the PM3 calculations and the previous experimental QSAR study. PM3 and B3LYP/6-31G* energy surfaces were obtained for the overall reaction of benzylamine with flavin. Results suggest that PM3 is a reasonable method for studying this kind of reaction. These theoretical findings support the proposed polar nucleophilic mechanism for MAO-A. 相似文献
The reactions of organoaluminum reagents (trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, etc.) with aryl and alkyl acyl phosphonates, which lead to the formation of α-hydroxy phosphonates in moderate to good yields, are reported. This method provides easy access to secondary and tertiary α-hydroxy phosphonates depending on the reaction conditions. The reactions of triethylaluminum with a series of acyl phosphonates at 0 °C gave the secondary α-hydroxy phosphonates, while at −100 °C they afford the tertiary α-hydroxy phosphonates. 相似文献
The polyethylenimine (PEI) derivatives (PTn) are prepared by treating PEI25k with Tris(hydroxymethyl) acrylamidomethane via the Michael addition. These PTns can effectively condense nucleic acids into nanosized particles with positive surface charges. The PTns show lower cytotoxicity and better serum‐resistant capacity than PEI25k. Specially, the transfection efficiency of PT26/DNA is 29‐fold higher than that of PEI25k in HeLa cells in serum‐containing medium. The PTn/siRNA complexes show superior knockdown effect in CT26 cells in serum‐containing medium. In addition, flow cytometry analysis shows that the PTns can efficiently mediate the entry of nucleic acids into the cell. Thus, PTns are potentially applicable as non‐viral carriers of nucleic acids and warrant further development for use in gene therapy.
We show that there exists critical trap aspect ratios
for a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with dipole-dipole
interactions. We discuss the role of critical trap aspect ratios
on both the critical angular velocity above which a vortex is
energetically favorable and the precession velocity of an off-axis
vortex. 相似文献
In this study we have employed two ionic liquids (ILs) as a new media for the analysis of aluminum in aqueous solutions by spectrofluorimetric method. ILs are liquid salts and they have no measurable vapor pressure up to their thermal decomposition point, >300 ??C. This lack of vapor pressure makes these materials highly attractive for many studies as they can be used as clean solvents. Besides they are promising environments for analysis purposes and optical sensor designs. The results revealed that absorption, excitation and emission spectra of the morin?CAl complex exhibited considerable changes in moieties. The morin?CAl complex was stable at aluminum concentrations below 9.1?mg?L?1 in 25% 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (IL-I)-water binary mixtures. The higher concentrations of IL (>25% by volume) was not suitable for the complex formation thus in pure IL media the complex formation even at high aluminum concentrations was not observed. The complex stoichiometry ratio of aluminum:morin was 2:1 in IL-I-water binary mixtures. The linear concentration range was 0.045?C7.2?mg?L?1 with a correlation coefficient of r?=?0.9909. The detection limit was found to be 0.036?mg?L?1. Cu2+, Mn2+ and PO43? ions exhibited less interfering effect in presence of IL-I and the tolerance limit of Cu enhanced 10 times when compared with ethanol. 相似文献
