Studies of Interaction Between Cyanine Dye T-284 and Fibrillar Alpha-Synuclein

A key feature of Parkinson’s disease is the formation and accumulation of amyloid fibrils of the natively unfolded protein α-synuclein (ASN) inside neurons. Recently we have proposed novel sensitive monomethinecyanine dye T-284 as fluorescent probe for quantitative detection of ASN amyloid fibrils. In this study the T-284 dye complex with ASN fibril was characterized by means of fluorescence anisotropy, atomic force microscopy and time-resolved fluorescence techniques to give further insights into the mode of dye interaction with amyloid fibrils. The fluorescence anisotropy of T-284 was shown to noticeably increase upon addition of aggregated proteins indicating on stable dye/amyloid fibril complex formation. AFM imaging of fibrillar wild-type ASN revealed differences in heights between ASN fibrils alone and in presence of the T-284 dye (6.37 ± 1.0 nm and 8.0 ± 1.1 nm respectively), that is believed to be caused by embedding of T-284 dye molecules in the “binding channel” running along the fibril. Fluorescence decay analysis of the T-284 in complexes with fibrillar ASN variants revealed the fluorescence lifetime values for T-284/fibril complexes to be an order of magnitude higher as compared to the free dye. Also, the fluorescence decay of free T-284 was bi-exponential, while dye bound to protein yields tri-exponential decay. We suppose that in complexes with fibrillar ASN variants T-284 dye might exist in different “populations” due to interaction with fibrils in different conformers and ways. The exact binding mode of T-284 with ASN fibrils needs further studies. Studied parameters of dye/amyloid fibril complexes are important for the characterization and screening of newly-developed amyloid-sensitive dyes.     

相对论重离子碰撞的温度涨落与热容

使用LUCIAE3.0模型模拟了SPS能区Pb+Pb和C+C在不同能量(E_lab=20—200A GeV)和不同中心度下的重离子碰撞.并通过逐个事件的粒子温度涨落提取出了相应粒子的热容,发现对于同一碰撞系统,单位发射粒子的热容随碰撞能量的升高而下降直至饱和,随着碰撞参数b的增大而减小,而且发现单位发射粒子的热容具有随粒子质量的变大而变大的关系.同时还发现不同碰撞系统中同一种粒子具有相同的单位发射粒子热容,并给出了相应的解释.

Development of nanoscale inhomogeneities during drying of sol-gel derived amorphous lead zirconate titanate precursor thin films

The structural evolution of sol-gel derived lead zirconate titanate (PZT) precursor films during and after physical drying was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and time-resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD). Films were deposited from initial 0.3 mol/dm(3) precursor sols with varying hydrolysis ratios. Zr-rich grains of 1-10 nm size, embedded in a Pb-, Zr-, and Ti-containing amorphous matrix were found in as-dried films. The Zr-rich regions were crystalline at hydrolysis ratios [H(2)O]/[PZT] < 27.6, and amorphous at ratios > 100. X-ray diffraction analysis of PZT and zirconia sols revealed that the crystalline nanoparticles in both sols are identical and are probably composed of nanosized zirconium oxoacetate-like clusters. This study demonstrates that time-resolved X-ray diffraction combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy mapping is a powerful tool to monitor the nanoscale structural evolution of sol-gel derived thin films.     

Theoretical Study of Hydrated Cd~（2＋） Interactions with Guanine

Theoretical study was performed to investigate how the hydration of cadmium ca-tion influences the structure and properties of guanine.The aqueous environment was simulated by both explicit solvent(1-5 water molecules) model and implicit solvent model.For complexes in which Cd2+ attached to the N(7) and O(6) sites of guanine,energy analysis together with the Natural Bonding Orbital(NBO) analysis were performed to elucidate the bonding characteristics in detail.The most stable structures are penta-coordinate complexes without aqua ligand located at the guanine site.Higher number of water ligands corresponds to higher stabilization energies.Average bonding energies of G-Cd increase with the number of water molecules.Bonding energies of water ligands depend on its position in the complexes.The charge distribution of guanine changed with increasing the number of water ligands,which may also influence the base-pairing pattern of guanine.There is positive charge transfer from guanine to aqua ligand as the number of the hydration waters increases.IEFPCM optimization has results comparable to the [CdG(H2O)5]2+ structure 5a.     

Development of a shape‐controlled H2S delivery system using epoxide‐functional nanoparticles

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), an endogenous modulator of signaling processes, has potential as a therapeutic drug or in combination drug therapies. Due to its broad biological impacts and malodorous nature, there is considerable interest in vehicles capable of delivering H₂S in a controlled manner. Herein, we report postpolymerization modification of polymers incorporating glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) units to form thiol‐triggered macromolecular H₂S donors. By combining this approach with polymerization‐induced self‐assembly, this methodology allows the facile preparation of polymeric nanoparticulate donors with either spherical or worm‐like morphology. The thiol‐reactive epoxide functional groups in poly(GMA) were chemically transformed into acyl‐protected perthiol groups using a three‐step procedure throughout which both morphologies remained intact. The H₂S releasing properties were subsequently studied, with both spherical and worm‐like nanoparticulate donors shown to successfully release H₂S in the presence of the model thiol, l ‐cysteine. In addition, the donor polymers were shown to effectively increase H₂S inside cells, upon exposure to biologically relevant endogenous thiol levels. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Brane vector phenomenology

Local oscillations of the brane world are manifested as massive vector fields. Their coupling to the Standard Model can be obtained using the method of nonlinear realizations of the spontaneously broken higher-dimensional space–time symmetries, and to an extent, are model independent. Phenomenological limits on these vector field parameters are obtained using LEP collider data and dark matter constraints.
