Four fluorimetric probes had been developed to rapidly detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). They were designed and synthesized on the basis of 1,3,4-thiadiazole framework combining calculation with experiment. Among them, SK-1 displayed strong blue emission with fluorescence quantum yield as high as 63.6% in solution. Further evaluation demonstrated that SK-1 displays good selectivity and high sensitivity for rapid and visual detection of TNP. It brought significant changes in both colour and fluorescence emission spectrum. The detection limit was as low as 38 nM. Quenching mechanism was confirmed as photo-induced electron transfer (PET) by nuclear magnetic titration and DFT calculations. What’s more, application in real water samples and solid phase paper tests illustrated the practical significance of detection of TNP in both vapor and solution.
Thioamide modifications of the peptide backbone are used to perturb secondary structure, to inhibit proteolysis, as photoswitches, and as spectroscopic labels. Thus far, their incorporation has been confined to single peptides synthesized on solid phase. We have generated thioamides in C-terminal thioesters or N-terminal Cys fragments and examined their compatibility with native chemical ligation conditions. Most sequence variants can be coupled in good yields with either TCEP or DTT as the reductant, though some byproducts are observed with prolonged TCEP incubations. Furthermore, we find that thioamides are compatible with thiazolidine protection of an N-terminal Cys, so that multiple ligations can be used to construct larger proteins. Since the acid-lability of the thioamide prohibits on-resin thioester synthesis using Boc chemistry, we devised a method for the synthesis of thioamide peptides with a masked C-terminal thioester that is revealed in situ. Finally, we have shown that thioamidous peptides can be coupled to expressed protein fragments to generate large proteins with backbone thioamide labels by synthesizing labeled versions of the amyloid protein α-synuclein for protein folding studies. In a proof-of-principle experiment, we demonstrated that quenching of fluorescence by thioamides can be used to track conformational changes during aggregation of labeled α-synuclein. 相似文献
AbstractCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) show excellent property, such as high porosity and excellent structure stability and were well applied in fields such as catalysis and adsorption, but most of the COFs showed similar structure and thus similar adsorption performance. Modification of simple COFs to enhance its adsorption performance in separation technique is an important issue. In this study, quaternary ammonium groups with long hydrophobic chain were introduced into a simple COF (TpPa-1) for the first time. The positively charged COF (PC-TpPa-1) can form electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic effect with negatively charged analytes, and showed good adsorption performance for ultraviolet-filters (UV filters). Under the optimum conditions, i.e. adsorbent amount 20?mg, pH?=?7, 1.0?mL acetonitrile as eluent, the obtained recoveries for all UV filters were in the range of 86.4–96.7%.The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of UV filters from food packaging material migrants with the aid of HPLC as a detector. 相似文献
Methyl orange (MO) and phenolphthalein (P) doped SiO2 gels derived from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and stearic acid (SA) are prepared. FTIR and TG analyses are used to characterize the gels. The color changes and leaching behavior of MO and P within the gels are investigated and explained on the basis of the gel structures and the reaction mechanism. The experimental results show that surface-active substances have obvious effects on the acid–base response and the leaching behavior of the acid–base indicators within the SiO2 gels. 相似文献
The distribution of radioactive pollutants, such as222Rn, U, Th and226Ra in the air, surface waters, soils and crops around the Lincang uranium mine, Yunnan Province, China, is studied. The mechanical, geochemical and biogeochemical processes responsible for the transport and fate of the radioactive elements are discussed based on the monitoring data. The pollutants concentrations of effluents from the mine tunnels were dependent on pH and which were controlled by biochemical oxidation of sulfide in the ore/host rocks. Radon anomalies in air reached 4 km from the tailings pile depending on radon release from the site, topography and climate.238U and226Ra abnormities in stream sediments and soil were 40—90 cm deep and 790—800 m away downstream. Anomalies of radioactive contaminants of surface watercourses extended 7.5—13 km from the discharge of effluents of the site mainly depending on mechanical and chemical processes. There were about 2.86 ha rice fields and 1.59 km stream sediments contaminated. Erosion of tailings and mining debris with little or no containment or control accelerated the contamination processes. 相似文献
