Synthesis,Crystal Structure and MMCT Property of a New Mixed-valence Cyanide-bridged Binuclear Complex

A new mixed-valence cyanide-bridged complex, Br3Fe(μ-NC)RuBr(dppm)2(dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane), was obtained through the reaction between trans-(dppm)2ClRuCN and FeBr3. Its crystal structure was characterized. Electronic absorption spectra indicate the existence of metal-to-metal charge transfer(MMCT) and this complex is Class Ⅱ mixed valence complexes according to the classification of Robin and Day. Magnetic analysis shows it is paramagnetic.     

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Novel 5,5′-(Pyridine-2,6-Diyl)bis(4-Arylideneamino-3-Mercapto-1,2,4-Triazole)-Related Derivatives

The reaction of 5,5′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) with various aromatic aldehydes in acetic acid yielded the corresponding 5,5′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(4-arylideneamino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) derivatives. The structures of the synthesized compounds as well as their intermediates were confirmed by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, ¹H NMR spectra and mass spectra studies. All the synthesized title compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities, and the preliminary results revealed that some of them showed good activities against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.     

Enhanced Expression of GCRV VP6 in CIK Cells by Relative Sequence Optimization

Efficient expression of target protein is one of strategies for gene therapy or vaccine design. Many studies showed that codon optimization could enhance the expression of target proteins. In this paper, a target sequence of about 1.26 kb encoding the major capsid protein VP6 of grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and an optimized counterpart were synthesized and inserted into vectors for expressing VP6. The final constructs (named as pcDV6G and pcDV6YG) were transfected in Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney (CIK) cells. The fluorescence analysis and the Western blot results showed that the gene fragment was transfected and expressed in CIK cells successfully. Although the qRT-PCR results showed no difference at the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels between the different versions of vp6 in the indicated stages, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that the protein level of VP6 expressed by pcDV6YG was higher than that by pcDV6G in the indicated hours. Taken together, these results suggest that the enhanced expression of GCRV VP6 in CIK cells by relative sequence optimization may be a good choice for making DNA vaccine against GCRV.     

pH-responsive pseudorotaxane between comblike PEO-grafted triblock polymer and α-cyclodextrin

The pH-responsive inclusion complexation of comblike triblock polymer, P2VP-b-PPEOMA-b-P2VP, with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) was studied. The triblock polymer was prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and formed inclusion complexes (ICs) after selective threading of the PEO segment of the triblock polymer through the cavities of α-CD units. For comparison, PPEOMA homopolymer was prepared, and the inclusion complexation with α-CD was also studied. The formed ICs were characterized by XRD and ¹H NMR. The results revealed that P2VP-b-PPEOMA-b-P2VP can form ICs with α-CD even when forming micelles, and the introduction of P2VP had a great influence on the solution property and the stoichiometry of EO to CD of the inclusion complexes depending on the concentration and the pH of the solution.

Nitrobenzene degradation by micro-sized iron and electron efficiency evaluation

The effect of pH, temperature, zero-valent iron (ZVI) dosage and reaction duration on nitrobenzene (NB) degradation by micro-sized ZVI was investigated in batch experiments and the electron efficiency (EE) was evaluated at constant pH. The experimental results showed that the reaction rate constant attained 0.616 min^?1, which was far higher than reported in previous studies. The decrease in pH and increase in temperature of the reaction bath promoted the reaction kinetics. ZVI dosage and reaction duration were two key factors affecting NB reduction and EE. A lower ZVI dosage and a slightly longer reaction duration could afford an optimised EE and optimum NB removal. A prolonged reaction or too high a ZVI dosage resulted in increased ZVI waste.     

石墨烯纳米孔的制备及λ-DNA穿孔初步研究

纳米孔测序是有可能实现"$1,000 Genome"目标的技术之一.近年来,研究较多的纳米孔有蛋白质纳米孔和硅基材料的固态纳米孔.蛋白孔寿命比较短,而基于硅基底的固态纳米孔深度显著超过单链DNA相邻碱基的间距,所以,无法实现DNA的单个碱基的分辨.作者用聚焦离子束先制造氮化硅基底,并在该基底上铺设石墨烯,再用聚焦电子束刻蚀石墨烯,获得直径10 nm以下的纳米孔,初步分析了DNA穿越纳米孔时产生的电信号及穿孔噪音,向单层石墨烯纳米孔测序DNA迈出了一步.

For the first time, the route has realized synthesis–assembly–separation of cucurbit[6]uril in one pot.

Fabrication of Pascal-triangle Lattice of Proteins by Inducing Ligand Strategy

A protein Pascal triangle has been constructed as new type of supramolecular architecture by using the inducing ligand strategy that we previously developed for protein assemblies. Although mathematical studies on this famous geometry have a long history, no work on such Pascal triangles fabricated from native proteins has been reported so far due to their structural complexity. In this work, by carefully tuning the specific interactions between the native protein building block WGA and the inducing ligand R-SL , a 2D Pascal-triangle lattice with three types of triangular voids has been assembled. Moreover, a 3D crystal structure was obtained based on the 2D Pascal triangles. The distinctive carbohydrate binding sites of WGA and the intralayer as well as interlayer dimerization of RhB was the key to facilitate nanofabrication in solution. This strategy may be applied to prepare and explore various sophisticated assemblies based on native proteins.
