Measuring inter-DNA potentials in solution

Interactions between short strands of DNA can be tuned from repulsive to attractive by varying solution conditions and have been quantified using small angle x-ray scattering techniques. The effective DNA interaction charge was extracted by fitting the scattering profiles with the generalized one-component method and inter-DNA Yukawa pair potentials. A significant charge is measured at low to moderate monovalent counterion concentrations, resulting in strong inter-DNA repulsion. The charge and repulsion diminish rapidly upon the addition of divalent counterions. An intriguing short range attraction is observed at surprisingly low divalent cation concentrations, approximately 16 mM Mg2+. Quantitative measurements of inter-DNA potentials are essential for improving models of fundamental interactions in biological systems.

Planar nets of Ti atoms comprising squares and rhombs in the new binary antimonide Ti2Sb

The new binary antimonide Ti(2)Sb was found to crystallize in a distorted variant of the La(2)Sb type, which contains a square planar La net with short La-La bonds. In the Ti(2)Sb structure, the corresponding Ti net is deformed to squares and rhombs in order to enhance Ti-Ti bonding, as proven by single-crystal X-ray investigation in combination with the real-space pair distribution function technique utilizing both X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. Electronic structure calculations revealed a lowering of the total energy caused by the disorder, the major driving force being strengthened Ti-Ti interactions along the diagonal of the Ti(4) rhombs.     

用CuO／γ－Al2O3催化剂同时脱除烟气中的SO2和NO

 研究了用CuO／γ－Al2O3催化剂同时脱除烟气中的SO2和NO，并在固定床反应器中考察了反应条件对其催化活性的影响．结果表明，温度和SO2对CuO／γ－Al2O3的催化活性均具有双重影响．新鲜催化剂和硫化催化剂上最适宜的脱硝温度分别为250～300℃和300～450℃，最适宜的n（NH3）／n（NO）约为1．2．烟气中的氧可大大提高CuO／γ－Al2O3的脱硫脱硝活性．综合考虑吸附硫容和NO脱除率，CuO／γ－Al2O3同时脱硫脱硝的最适宜温度为350～450℃．温度和SO2在高温区对CuO／γ－Al2O3活性的影响源于两者对NH3氧化活性的改变，高温下CuO／γ－Al2O3的活性下降是因为NH3氧化加剧；SO2通过使催化剂硫化生成硫酸盐来抑制NH3氧化，从而提高CuO／γ－Al2O3的活性．吸硫饱和的催化剂可于5％NH3中还原再生，再生后其硫容较初始时降低，但其活性大幅度提高．

Computer‐assisted design and synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers for the simultaneous determination of six carbamate pesticides from environmental water

The computer‐assisted design and synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers for the simultaneous capture of six carbamate pesticides from environmental water are reported in this work. The quantum mechanical computational approach was employed to design the molecularly imprinted polymers with carbofuran as template. The interaction energies between the template molecule and different functional monomers in various solvents were calculated to assist in the selection of the functional monomer and porogen. The optimised molecularly imprinted polymer was subsequently used as a class‐selective sorbent in solid‐phase extraction for pre‐concentration and determination of carbamates from environmental water. The parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of the molecularly imprinted solid‐phase extraction procedure were systematically investigated to facilitate the class‐selective extraction. For the proposed method, linearity was observed over the range of 2–500 ng/mL with the correlation coefficient ranging from 0.9760 to 1.000. The limits of detection ranged from 0.2 to 1.2 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification was 4 ng/mL. These results confirm that computer‐assisted design is an effective evaluation tool for molecularly imprinted polymers synthesis, and that molecularly imprinted solid‐phase extraction can be applied to the simultaneous analysis of carbamates in environmental water.

Effect of Escherichia coliform on the biomineralization of calcium bilirubinate in mimic systems

The influence of Escherichia coliform (E. coli), especially the proteins it secretes, on the nucleation, growth and aggregation processes of calcium bilirubinate (CaBR) in different mimic systems, such as NaCl aqueous solution and model bile, is studied in this paper. The results show that in NaCl aqueous solution the morphology of calcium bilirubinate (CaBR) changes from amorphous sheet structure to a highly self-organized and highly self-replicated fractal structure that is accumulated by rhombic microcrystals after the addition of E. coli. In model bile with the existence of E. coli, CaBR also forms a fractal structure, but the fractal structure is staghorn-like. Meanwhile, the composition of the prepared CaBRs is nonstoichiometric, and the crystallization is greatly improved with the existence of E. coli. Besides, formation mechanism of CaBRs affected by E. coli is explored, showing that the proteins secreted by E. coli interact with the Ca(2+) ions to provide nucleation sites for CaBRs, and the conformation of the proteins becomes more ordered, resulting in the improvement of the crystalline of CaBRs. On the other hand, the interaction of proteins and the Ca(2+) ions also promote the aggregation state of the CaBRs.
