Various 1,6-anhydro sugars are synthesized utilizing salient features of gold-catalyzed glycosidations. All the reactions occurred under mild conditions in the presence of 7 mol % of AuBr3 enabling easy synthesis of 1,6-anhydro sugars from corresponding 6-hydroxy propargyl/methyl monosaccharides, disaccharides, and trisaccharides in good yields. 相似文献

Micellar solution of nonionic surfactantn-dodecyloligo ethyleneoxide surfactant, decaoxyethylene monododecyl ether [CH3(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)10OH], C12E10 in D2O solution have been analysed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) at different temperatures (30, 45 and 60° C) both in
the presence and absence of sugars. The structural parameters like micelle shape and size, aggregation number and micellar
density have been determined. It is found that the micellar structure significantly depends on the temperature and concentration
of sugars. The micelles are found to be prolate ellipsoids at 30° C and the axial ratio of the micelle increases with the
increase in temperature. The presence of lower concentration of sugar reduces the size of micelles and it grows at higher
concentration of sugar. The structure of micelles is almost independent of the different types of sugars used. 相似文献
A novel type of nonionic amphipols for handling membrane proteins in detergent-free aqueous solutions has been obtained through free-radical homo-telomerization of an acrylamide-based monomer comprising a C(11) alkyl chain and two glucose moieties, using a thiol as transfer reagent. By controlling the thiol/monomer ratio, the number-average molecular weight of the polymers was varied from 8 to 63 kDa. Homopolymeric nonionic amphipols were found to be highly soluble in water and to self-organize, within a large concentration range, into small, compact particles of ~6 nm diameter with a narrow size distribution, regardless of the molecular weight of the polymer. They proved able to trap and stabilize two test membrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin from Halobium salinarum and the outer membrane protein X of Escherichia coli, under the form of small and well-defined complexes, whose size, composition, and shape were studied by aqueous size-exclusion chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation, and small-angle neutron scattering. As shown in a companion paper, nonionic amphipols can be used for membrane protein folding, cell-free synthesis, and solution NMR studies (Bazzacco et al. 2012, Biochemistry, DOI: 10.1021/bi201862v). 相似文献
Efficient desorption of selectively adsorbed N2 from air in a packed column of LiX zeolite by rapidly purging the adsorbent with an O2 enriched gas is an important element of a rapid cyclic pressure swing adsorption (RPSA) process used in the design of many medical oxygen concentrators (MOC). The amount of O2 purge gas used in the desorption process is a sensitive variable in determining the overall separation performance of a MOC unit. Various resistances like (a) adsorption kinetics, (b) column pressure drop, (c) non-isothermal column operation, (d) gas phase mass and thermal axial dispersions, and (e) gas-solid heat transfer kinetics determine the amount of purge gas required for efficient desorption of N2. The impacts of these variables on the purge efficiency were numerically simulated using a detailed mathematical model of non-isothermal, non-isobaric, and non-equilibrium desorption process in an adiabatic column. The purge gas quantity required for a specific desorption duty (fraction of total N2 removed from a column) is minimum when the process is carried out under ideal, hypothetical conditions (isothermal, isobaric, and governed by local thermodynamic equilibrium). All above-listed non-idealities (a?Ce) can increase the purge gas quantity, thereby, lowering the efficiency of the desorption process compared to the ideal case. Items (a?Cc) are primarily responsible for inefficient desorption by purge, while gas phase mass and thermal axial dispersions do not affect the purge efficiency under the conditions of operation used in this study. Smaller adsorbent particles can be used to reduce the negative effects of adsorption kinetics, especially for a fast desorption process, but increased column pressure drop adds to purge inefficiency. A?particle size range of ??300?C500???m is found to require a?minimum purge gas amount for a given desorption duty. The purge gas requirement can be further reduced by employing a pancake column design (length to diameter ratio, L/D<0.2) which lowers the column pressure drop, but hydrodynamic inefficiencies (gas mal-distribution, particle agglomeration) may be introduced. Lower L/D also leads to a smaller fraction of the column volume that is free of N2 at the purge inlet end, which is required for maintaining product gas purity. The simulated gas and solid temperature profiles inside the column at the end of the rapid desorption process show that a finite gas-solid heat transfer coefficient affects these profiles only in the purge gas entrance region of the column. The profiles in the balance of the column are nearly invariant to the values of that coefficient. Consequently, the gas-solid heat transfer resistance has a minimum influence on the overall integrated N2 desorption efficiency by O2 purge for the present application. 相似文献
This paper describes the successful application of the Suzuki polycondensation (SPC) to the synthesis of high molecular weight polyphenylenes using aryl dichloride monomers. From readily available starting material, two meta‐dichloromonomers ( 2b and 2c ) were prepared and subjected to SPC with benzene 1,4‐diboronic acid ester to produce reasonably high molar mass poly(para‐meta‐phenylene)s 4a and 4b , respectively, if freshly prepared Pd‐catalyst, Buchwald ligand and the base K3PO4 were used. The polymer with butoxy substituent ( 4a ) was compared regarding GPC molar mass and glass transition temperature with its exact same congener which had been synthesized in a previous work starting from a meta‐dibromo monomer. This comparison unequivocally confirms the molar masses achieved and, thus, establishes the first reported case of a SPC using aryl chloride monomers, instead of the more expensive and less amply available aryl bromides which had to be used otherwise.
Bacterial cellulose (BC), derived from kombucha scoby have extraordinary organoleptic properties suitable for development of leather-like materials. An improvement in physical and mechanical property is desirable for the practical applications. This work deals with the treatment of BC by incorporations of three different nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNP), silver nanoparticles (AgNP) and graphene oxide (GO). Achieving combined benefits via synergic interactions of different nanomaterials is the major objective herein. While graphene oxide can influence some of the parameters related to mechanical properties, silver nanomaterials can offer antibacterial characteristics. Gold nano materials can bridge the BC/silver/graphene oxide as well as provide the desirable aesthetic colour. Different physical chemical and mechanical characteristics were studied in detail. For example, changes in morphology by imaging fiber network were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Fibre properties were studied by Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Elemental composition was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and Raman analysis. The improvement of hydrophobicity was studied by Contact angle meter. Thermal analysis was performed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A Picture was provided in ESI to show the modified material's leather-like appearances. 相似文献
A novel class of nonionic amphipols (NAPols) designed to handle membrane proteins in aqueous solutions has been synthesized, and its solution properties have been examined. These were synthesized through free radical cotelomerization of glucose-based hydrophilic and amphiphilic monomers derived from tris(hydroxymethyl)acrylamidomethane using azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator and thiol as the transfer agent. The molecular weight and the hydrophilic/lipophilic balance of the cotelomers were modulated by varying the thiol/monomers and the hydrophilic monomer/amphiphilic monomer ratios, respectively, and were characterized by 'H NMR, UV, gel permeation chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Their physicochemical properties in aqueous solution were studied by dynamic light scattering, aqueous size-exclusion chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation, and surface-tension measurements. NAPols are highly soluble in water and form, within a large concentration range, well-defined supramolecular assemblies with a diameter of approximately 6-7 nm, a narrow particle size distribution, and an average molecular weight close to 50 x 10(3) g x mol(-1). Varying the hydrophilic/amphiphilic monomer ratio of NAPols in the range of 3.0-4.9, the degree of polymerization in the range of 51-78, and the resulting average molar mass in the range of 20-29 x 10(3) g x mol(-1) has little incidence on their solution properties. Glucose-based NAPols efficiently kept soluble in aqueous solutions two test membrane proteins: bacteriorhodopsin and the transmembrane domain of Escherichia coli's outer membrane protein A. 相似文献
