The protein, hen egg white lysozyme, on photoexcitation undergoes electron transfer with menadione (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone), a widely known anticancer drug. With the addition of menadione the fluorescence of lysozyme is quenched with the simultaneous formation of an excited state charge-transfer complex in the longer wavelength and a ground state complex. The former is further evident from laser flash photolysis studies, which indicate a tryptophan to menadione electron transfer. From fluorescence quenching studies the binding constant is found to be ∼1.7×104 M−1 with the corresponding changes in enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) as 12.24 kJ mol−1 and 124.12 J mol−1 K−1, respectively, indicative of an entropy-driven process. The circular dichroism studies also show some structural changes with increase in α-helical content in the protein on interaction with menadione. Finally, docking studies give some insight into the role of Trp 108 of lysozyme in the interaction. 相似文献

Protein nitration can occur as a result of peroxynitrite‐mediated oxidative stress. Excess production of peroxynitrite (PN) within the cellular medium can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules. The in vitro nitration of Ribonuclease A (RNase A) results in nitrotyrosine (NT) formation with a strong dependence on the pH of the medium. In order to mimic the cellular environment in this study, PN‐mediated RNase A nitration has been carried out in a crowded medium. The degree of nitration is higher at pH 7.4 (physiological pH) compared to pH 6.0 (tumor cell pH). The extent of nitration increases significantly when PN is added to RNase A in the presence of crowding agents PEG 400 and PEG 6000. PEG has been found to stabilize PN over a prolonged period, thereby increasing the degree of nitration. NT formation in RNase A also results in a significant loss in enzymatic activity. 相似文献

This paper aims to provide the performance characteristics of proposed, strain balanced direct band gap multiple quantum wells (MQWs) hetero phototransistor (HPT) made of SiGeSn/GeSn alloys grown on Si substrate which is compatible with recent CMOS fabrication technology. This also presents a comprehensive comparison of this proposed structure with the existing HPT structure made of indirect gap Ge/SiGe MQWs. Alloys of Ge and Sn grown on Si platform shows about tenfold increase in absorption over Ge at C and L-bands due to direct nature of band gap in GeSn. Initial work begins the solution of continuity equation to solve the different terminal current densities and optical gain of the multiple quantum well structure. Main analysis was concentrated on finding the external quantum efficiency depending on the doping variations of emitter and base, base width etc. Finally the photocurrent density variations are estimated for the structure and compared with existing indirect band gap HPT. The calculated values for direct band gap GeSn HPT device are found to be comparable with those for indirect band gap SiGe device to flourish as a potential candidate of photo detectors for the present day telecommunication network. 相似文献

We investigate the Einstein relation for the diffusivity-mobility ratio (DMR) for n-i-p-i and the microstructures of nonlinear optical compounds on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law. The corresponding results for III-V, ternary and quaternary materials form a special case of our generalized analysis. The respective DMRs for II-VI, IV-VI and stressed materials have been studied. It has been found that taking CdGeAs2, Cd3As2, InAs, InSb, Hg1−xCdxTe, In1−xGaxAsyP1−y lattices matched to InP, CdS, PbTe, PbSnTe and Pb1−xSnxSe and stressed InSb as examples that the DMR increases with increasing electron concentration in various manners with different numerical magnitudes which reflect the different signatures of the n-i-p-i systems and the corresponding microstructures. We have suggested an experimental method of determining the DMR in this case and the present simplified analysis is in agreement with the suggested relationship. In addition, our results find three applications in the field of quantum effect devices. 相似文献

Ribonuclease?A (RNase A) serves as a convenient model enzyme in the identification and development of inhibitors of proteins that are members of the ribonuclease superfamily. This is principally because the biological activity of these proteins, such as angiogenin, is linked to their catalytic ribonucleolytic activity. In an attempt to inhibit the biological activity of angiogenin, which involves new blood vessel formation, we employed different dinucleosides with varied non-natural backbones. These compounds were synthesized by coupling aminonucleosides with dicarboxylic acids and amino- and carboxynucleosides with an amino acid. These molecules show competitive inhibition with inhibition constant (K(i)) values of (59±3) and (155±5) μM for RNase A. The compounds were also found to inhibit angiogenin in a competitive fashion with corresponding K(i) values in the micromolar range. The presence of an additional polar group attached to the backbone of dinucleosides was found to be responsible for the tight binding with both proteins. The specificity of different ribonucleolytic subsites were found to be altered because of the incorporation of a non-natural backbone in between the two nucleosidic moieties. In spite of the replacement of the phosphate group by non-natural linkers, these molecules were found to selectively interact with the ribonucleolytic site residues of angiogenin, whereas the cell binding site and nuclear translocation site residues remain unperturbed. Docked conformations of the synthesized compounds with RNase A and angiogenin suggest a binding preference for the thymine-adenine pair over the thymine-thymine pair. 相似文献

The effect of partial substitution of molybdenum by phosphorus on the global and local structural arrangement of the fast oxide-ion conductor La(2)Mo(2)O(9) (LAMOX) has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction as well as (139)La and (31)P solid state NMR. The diffraction patterns show that La(2)Mo(2-y)P(y)O(9-y/2) forms a solid solution at low phosphorus concentrations, and that there is a structural phase transition upon increasing phosphorus concentration. This phase transition is also reflected in (139)La and (31)P NMR spectra. The possibility to excite (31)P multiple-quantum coherences of one of the (31)P NMR signals gives evidence of an accumulation of phosphorus atoms on neighbouring Mo-type sites already before formation of three-dimensional precipitates. On the basis of our X-ray and NMR results we propose a possible structural arrangement of the compound La(2)Mo(2-y)P(y)O(9-y/2) that explains the experimental observations by crystal twinning. 相似文献

Covering: 1997 to 2010. The angucycline group is the largest group of type II PKS-engineered natural products, rich in biological activities and chemical scaffolds. This stimulated synthetic creativity and biosynthetic inquisitiveness. The synthetic studies used five different strategies, involving Diels-Alder reactions, nucleophilic additions, electrophilic additions, transition-metal mediated cross-couplings and intramolecular cyclizations to generate the angucycline frames. Biosynthetic studies were particularly intriguing when unusual framework rearrangements by post-PKS tailoring oxidoreductases occurred, or when unusual glycosylation reactions were involved in decorating the benz[a]anthracene-derived cores. This review follows our previous reviews, which were published in 1992 and 1997, and covers new angucycline group antibiotics published between 1997 and 2010. However, in contrast to the previous reviews, the main focus of this article is on new synthetic approaches and biosynthetic investigations, most of which were published between 1997 and 2010, but go beyond, e.g. for some biosyntheses all the way back to the 1980s, to provide the necessary context of information. 相似文献
