The adenosine derivative of 2‐oxo‐1,3‐diazaphenoxazine (Adap) exhibits a superb ability to recognize and form base pairs with 8‐oxo‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐oxo‐dG) in duplex DNA. In this study, the triphosphate of Adap (dAdapTP) was synthesized and tested for single nucleotide incorporation into primer strands using the Klenow Fragment. The efficiency of dAdapTP incorporation into 8‐oxo‐dG‐containing templates was more than 36‐fold higher than with dG‐containing templates, and provides better discrimination than does the incorporation of natural 2′‐deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP). The selective incorporation of dAdapTP into 8‐oxo‐dG templates was therefore applied to the detection of 8‐oxo‐dG in human telomeric DNA sequences extracted from H2O2‐treated HeLa cells. The enzymatic incorporation of dAdapTP into 8‐oxo‐dG‐containing templates may provide a novel basis for sequencing oxidative DNA damage in the genome. 相似文献
This work is focused on montmorillonite (MMT)‐based “support‐activators” (S‐As) for the metallocene‐catalyzed propylene polymerization. This catalyst was previously industrialized; however, for further technological advances, the activation mechanism is investigated. The chemical and morphological requirements of the S‐A are surveyed using both commercially available raw clay minerals (non‐acid‐treated) and acid‐treated clay minerals. The S‐A possessing strong‐acid sites (pK a < ?8.2) gives a highly active catalyst. Acid treatment of MMT induces morphological changes as well as the formation of strong acid sites. Based on pore size distribution analysis and atomic force microscopy observations, it is concluded that the strong acid sites are located in the small pores around the edge of the clay mineral (not in the interlayer), where the structure is disordered by the acid treatment.
This Minireview provides an overview of the chemistry of pyrazole and N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes bearing an NH group at the β‐position to the metal. The synthesis and structures as well as the Brønsted acidic nature of the β‐NH group are described in detail. These complexes are attractive candidates for novel metal–ligand cooperative bifunctional catalysts, which would benefit highly effective molecular and energy transformations. 相似文献
Hydrogenation and protonation of parent imido complexes have attracted much attention in relation to industrial and biological nitrogen fixation. The present study reports the structure and properties of the highly unsaturated diiridium parent imido complex [(Cp*Ir)(2)(μ(2)-H)(μ(2)-NH)](+) derived from deprotonation of a parent amido complex. Because of the Lewis acid-Br?nsted base bifunctional nature of the metal-NH bond, the parent imido complex promotes heterolysis of H(2) and deprotonative N-H cleavage of ammonia to afford the corresponding parent amido complexes under mild conditions. 相似文献
Isoliquiritigenin [ILG, (E)-1] was readily prepared via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions using β-ketophosphonates 5a, b. An improved protocol for the synthesis of (E)-1 via the Claisen-Schmidt condensation was also presented. 相似文献
Overlap coincidence in a self-affine tiling in Rd is equivalent to pure point dynamical spectrum of the tiling dynamical system. We interpret the overlap coincidence in the setting of substitution Delone set in Rd and find an efficient algorithm to check the pure point dynamical spectrum. This algorithm is easy to implement into a computer program. We give the program and apply it to several examples. In the course of the proof of the algorithm, we show a variant of the conjecture of Urbański (Solomyak (2006) [40]) on the Hausdorff dimension of the boundaries of fractal tiles. 相似文献
An enzyme immunoelectrode for the amperometric determination of serum insulin is described. The device consists of an immunoreactive membrane combined with a hydrogen peroxide electrode. The surface of a microporous hydrophobic polypropylene membrane is modified by water vapour plasma treatment to make it partially hydrophilic. Subsequent treatment with octamethylenediamine and glutaraldehyde enables the surface of this membrane to interact with various proteins. Anchoring of the antibody to Protein A immobilized on the membrane was effective for immunoreactivity. 相似文献
