Photoacoustic Spectrometry Investigation and Determination of Rare Earth Ions Ho3+ and Nd3+ in a Solution

A home-made high sensitive photoacoustic transducer was used to determine the photoacoustic signal in a solution. The photoacoustic spectra of Ho in different solvents were measured and comparedwith its absorption spectrum. The affection factors of photoacousticsensitivity are discussed. The trivalent rare earth ions Ho3+ and Nd3+in an aqueous acetonitrile solution were determined. The detection limit is 5×10-8 mol/L for Ho3+ and 1.0 ×10-7 mol/L for Nd3+, and corresponds to the absorbance of 1.5×10 and 6.3×10-7.respectively.     

Effects of thioamide substitutions on the conformation and stability of alpha- and 3(10)-helices

Thiopeptides, formed by replacing the amide oxygen atom with a sp(2) sulfur atom, are useful in protein engineering and drug design because they confer resistance to enzymatic degradation and are predicted to be more rigid. This report describes our free molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water and free energy calculations on the effects of thio substitutions on the conformation of alpha-helices, 3(10)-helices, and their relative stability. The most prominent structural effect of thio substitution is the increase in the hydrogen bond distance from 2.1 A for normal peptides to 2.7 A for thiopeptides. To accommodate for the longer C[double bond]S...H-N hydrogen bond, the (phi, psi) dihedral angles of the alpha-helix changed from (-66 degrees, -42 degrees) to (-68 degrees, -38 degrees), and the rise per turn increased from 5.5 to 6.3 A. For 3(10)-helices, the (phi, psi) dihedral angles (-60 degrees, -20 degrees) and rise per turn (6.0 A) changed to (-66 degrees, -12 degrees) and 6.8 A, respectively. In terms of relative stability, the most prominent change upon thio substitution is the decrease in the free energy difference, Delta A(alpha --> 3(10)), from 14 to 3.5 kcal/mol. Therefore, normal peptides are less likely to form 3(10)-helix than are thiopeptides. Component analysis of the Delta A(alpha --> 3(10)) reviews that the entropy advantage of the 3(10)-helix for both Ac-Ala(10)-NHMe and Act-Alat(10)-NHMe is attributed to the 3(10)-helix being more flexible than the alpha-helix. Interestingly, upon thio substitution, this differential flexibility is even more apparent because the alpha-helix conformation of Act-Alat(10)-NHMe becomes more rigid due to the bulkier sulfur atom.     

热导式热量计特征热谱方程的建立

Based on the interfacial model of a conduction calorimeter, a characteristic thermogram equation is suggested in this paper. Measurements of only two quantities such as the maximum peak height △m and its time tm, enables us to calculate the peak height at any interval by using this model. Thermograms of alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl propionate and ethyl acetate have been measured at 25℃, respectively. The themographic data calculated by using the characteristic thermogram equation are in reasonable agreement with those read from the thermograms.     

光度法研究3,4,5—三羟基苯甲酸及其类似物与铀（Ⅵ）的配位反应

三羟基苯及其衍生物是一类重要配体,如3,4,5-三羟基苯甲酸(GA)与铀、钍及稀土生成沉淀,并可用于铀、钍、稀土的连续测定。我们在研究用GA离铀、钍、稀土时,GA与铀生成1种棕色配合物,早期曾用于铀的比色测定,它可能是一种单核与多核配合物的混合物,但对这类化合物与铀的配位反应迄今来作过详细研究。本文用光度法研究了GA、连苯三酚(PGA)、3,4,5-三羟基苯甲酸丙酯(PGE)与3,4,5-三甲氧基苯甲酸(TMBA)与铀(Ⅵ)的配位反应,研究了配合物的组成及其反应机理,测定了部分配合物的稳定常数。     

A novel small-molecule near-infrared II fluorescence probe for orthotopic osteosarcoma imaging

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone, particularly among children and adolescents. Advances in imaging, surgical techniques, and implants have dramatically reduced the need for amputation in the past three decades.Recently, in vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window(NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm) shows impressive advantages of deeper tissue penetration and higher spatial resolution, which makes it a promising tool for the early diagnosis and post-operative observation of Osteosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first time to develop a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe conjugated with an osteosarcoma targeted oligopeptide for molecular tumor imaging in a xenograft orthotopic osteosarcoma mouse model.     

Physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of Pr2 − x SrxCoO4 ± y mixed oxides for NO reduction by CO

Using the polyglycol gel method, a series of Pr_{2 − x} Sr_xCoO_{4 ± y} (0.2 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) mixed oxides were prepared, and their catalytic activities were studied in the test reaction of NO reduction by CO. The solid-state physicochemical properties, including crystal structure, defect structure, IR spectrum, valence state of B-site ions, nonstoichiometry oxygen (y), oxygen species, and redox properties, were characterized by means of XRD, IR, TPD, TPR, XPS, and chemical analysis. The results show that all mixed oxides display a K₂NiF₄ structure. When x = 0.2 and 1.0, the obtained samples still have little uncertain mixed oxides; however, the mixed oxides (x = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) all represent a single A₂BO₄ phase. With the increase of x, lattice parameters, unit-cell volume, and average crystalline size decrease gradually, whereas microstrain density, the concentration of Co³⁺, the amounts of lattice oxygen released and the concentration of oxygen vacancy increase. The catalytic activities of Pr_{2 − x} Sr_xCoO_{4 ± y} catalysts for NO reduction by CO are closely correlated with oxygen vacancy and the concentration of Co³⁺.
