In situ monitoring of metal nanoparticle self-assembly on protein-functionalized glass by broadband optical waveguide spectroscopy

Broadband, time-resolved optical waveguide (OWG) spectroscopy has been used for in situ, real-time investigation into the self-assembly of metal nanoparticle monolayers. The OWG spectroscopy makes it possible to use the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes to measure surface plasmon absorption of immobilized metal nanoparticles in two directions, parallel and normal to the waveguide surface. Therefore, this technique can provide direction-dependent information on the metal nanoparticles at the interface. In this paper, a 50-microm-thick glass plate was used as a slab waveguide and the kinetics of Au nanoparticle adsorption on a hemoglobin-functionalized glass substrate was examined in the early stage of self-assembly. The findings show that with the TE mode the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) behavior for immobilized Au nanoparticles is different from that with the TM mode.     

Convenient and Efficient Synthesis of L—Rhamnopyranosyl Phosphoramidates via H—Phosphonate

It is known that saccharides linked to proteins via a phosphoester hinge can function as immunological determinants. Under regular physiological conditions, it has been suggested that the role of phosphonate group is to direct the protease towards basic substrates1. Phosphoramidon a, which was isolated from a culture filtrate, is a potent inhibitor of the thermolysin, a metallo-endopeptidase. It is a glycosylated dipeptide, which has a L-rhamnose attached to the N-terminal of Leu-Trp dipep…

A new Co(II) complex with N,O-donor Schiff base: Synthesis, structure and characterization

A new Co(II) complex with tridentate Schiff base ligand with a N,N,O donor set has been synthesized and characterized by single X-ray technique and spectroscopic techniques. The thermochemical properties have been studied. X-ray structure analysis of the title compound Co(II)L₂ [HL = 2-methyl-6-(2′-hydroxybenzylideneamino) pyridine] shows that the polyhedron around Co(II) is a distorted tetrahedron, and the self-assembly via intermolecular π-π interactions leads to a three-dimensional network. Crystal data for the title complex C₂₆H₂₂CoN₄O₂: Monoclinic, space group Ia, a = 11.741(7) Å, b = 8.149(5) Å, c = 22.764(16) Å, β = 98.530(12)°, V = 2154(2) ų, Z = 4.     

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the sulfonic acid group from Saussurea lappa

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the unusual sulfonic acid group, 13-sulfo-dihydrosantamarine (1) and 13-sulfo-dihydroreynosin (2), have been isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa C. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.     

STUDY ON POLYMER-Ru-Co BIMETALLIC COMPLEXES CATALYSTS Ⅱ.X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYSIS

Polymer Ru-Co bimetallic complexes have been examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The catalyst is highly active only when the mole ratio of Co/Ru is 4: 3. The activity of catalysts does not depend on the total Co/Ru ratio, but on the surface stoichiometry of Co and Ru. When the relative intensities of Co_2_p and Ru_(3d) of XPS peaks are close to each other and both are high,the catalyst exhibits its maximum activity The mechanism ofcatalytic hydroformylation has been discussed.     

Dissociation behavior of doubly-charged tryptic peptides: correlation of gas-phase cleavage abundance with ramachandran plots

Analysis of fragmentation patterns from 5654 unique doubly charged tryptic peptides is obtained. Great variability of average relative abundance of bond cleavage is found between different amino acid combinations. There exist similarities as well as differences between b and y ions. Strong enhancement or suppression of cleavage gives insight into possible chemical interactions at reactive conformations formed by preferred phi-psi angles.     

Catalyzed collapse and enhanced hydrogen storage of BN nanotubes

The novel morphology of BN nanotubes with a collapsed structure has been discovered by a metal-catalyzed treatment. The collapse causes the dramatic enlargement of a specific surface area of BN nanotubes and remarkably enhances the hydrogen storage capacity of BN nanotubes.     

Single-crystalline LaB6 nanowires

Lanthanum hexaboride nanowires produced by chemical vapor deposition are single-crystalline and grown along the [111] direction. Streaks appearing in the electron diffraction spots indicate the lateral direction perpendicular to the nanowire growth axis.
