A pH-regulated stimuli-responsive strategy for RNA-cleaving DNAzyme

RNA-cleaving DNAzymes possess important roles in DNAzymes and have been widely used in the biosensors,DNA nanomachines owing to their ion-specific dependence.However,there are still challenges in constructing universal but versatile stimuli-responsive strategies of RNA-cleaving DNAzymes.Herein,a stimuli-responsive strategy for RNA-cleaving DNAzyme is proposed by the artful design of hairpin nanostructure,in which the activities of DNAzyme(Pb~(2+) -dependent DNAzyme as a model) in the hairpin's loop are p H-regulated by using the triplex stem as the "lock".Upon introducing the "key",p H values,the DNAzyme will be activated and fragment the substrate of it in the presence of Pb~(2+),accompanied by the turn-on of the fluorescence quenched by fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET).The regulation ability of p H can be controlled by the length and sequence of the triplex stem,and the wide p H regulation range may be helpful for the application of DNAzymes in biological medicine delivery systems.     

Single‐Mode Microwave Heating‐Induced Concurrent Out‐of‐Plane Twin Growth Suppression and In‐Plane Epitaxial Growth Promotion of b‐Oriented MFI Film under Mild Reaction Conditions

In this study, single‐mode microwave heating was applied in epitaxial growth of b‐oriented MFI seed monolayer prepared by facile manual assembly, resulting in the formation of well‐intergrown and highly b‐oriented MFI film with few twins. It exhibited a precise molecular sieving property at a reaction temperature no higher than 100 °C within 2 hours, therefore making it possible for easy operation in an open environment. The capability for concurrent suppression of undesired out‐of‐plane twin growth and promotion of in‐plane epitaxial growth rate under mild reaction conditions was attributed to the obvious superiority of single‐mode microwave heating in comparison with conventional multi‐mode microwave heating in aspects of microwave field uniformity and intensity. Our research indicated that the single‐mode microwave heating technique could potentially be a useful tool for improving the microstructure and therefore the performance of diverse zeolite films.     

Snap-through path in a bistable dielectric elastomer actuator

The dielectric elastomer (DE) has attracted significant attention due to its desired features, including large deformation, fast response, and high energy density. However, for a DE actuator (DEA) utilizing a snap-through deformation mode, most existing theoretical models fail to predict its deformation path. This paper develops a new finite element method (FEM) based on the three-parameter Gent-Gent model suitable for capturing strain-stiffening behaviors. The simulation results are verified by experiments, indicating that the FEM can accurately characterize the snap-through path of a DE. The method proposed in this paper provides theoretical guidance and inspiration for designing and applying DEs and bistable electroactive actuators.

Relative stability of the 3A2, 1A2, and 1A1 states of phenylnitrene: A difference-dedicated configuration interaction calculation

The relative stability of the ³A₂, ¹A₂, and ¹A₁ states of phenylnitrene is evaluated by means of ab initio calculations followed by difference-dedicated configuration interaction (DDCI). This approach is based on effective Hamiltonian theory at a low order of perturbation to select rationally the determinants which contribute to the energy difference. The CI space built on this criterion is then treated variationally. The method allows a considerable reduction of the CI space compared with a complete CAS*SDCI calculation (where CAS stands for complete active space). Depending on the concerned energy difference, different model spaces may be chosen, as illustrated in the ³A₂ → ¹A₂ and the ³A₂ → ¹A₁ transitions in phenylnitrene. Since the CI space may reach considerable dimensions, a direct CI algorithm for selected CI spaces, the SCIEL algorithm, has been used to perform the calculations. The results are in excellent agreement with previous calculations and with available experimental data. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
