Binding structures of propylene glycol stereoisomers on the Si(001)-2×1 surface: a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and theoretical study

The binding configuration of propylene glycol stereoisomer molecules adsorbed on the Si(001)-2×1 surface was investigated using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory calculations. Propylene glycol was found to adsorb dissociatively via two hydroxyl groups exclusively as a bridge between the ends of two adjacent dimers along the dimer row. The chirality was preserved during bonding to Si atoms and was identifiable with STM imaging. The large number of propylene glycol conformers in the gas phase was reduced to a single configuration adsorbed on the surface at low molecular coverage.     

Quantification of human growth hormone by amino acid composition analysis using isotope dilution liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

We describe an accurate method for protein quantification based on conventional acid hydrolysis and an isotope dilution-HPLC-mass spectrometry (ID-HPLC-MS) method. Sample purity was confirmed using capillary zone electrophoresis, HPLC and MS. The analyte protein, human growth hormone (hGH), was effectively hydrolyzed by incubation with 8 M hydrochloric acid at 130 °C for 48 h, where at least 1 μM of hGH was treated to avoid possible degradation of released amino acids during hydrolysis. Using a reversed-phase column, the analytes (isoleucine, phenylalanine, proline and valine) were separated within 5 min using an isocratic eluent comprising 10% acetonitrile containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The detection limit (signal to noise ratio of 3) of amino acids was 5.5-6.2 fmol per injection. The quantification precision (RSD) of amino acids for intra- and inter-day assays was less than 0.98% and 0.39%, respectively. Comparison with other biochemical and instrumental methods revealed substantially higher accuracy and reproducibility of the ID-HPLC-MS/MS method as expected. The optimized hydrolysis and analytical conditions in our study were suitable for accurate quantification of hGH.     

基于粗粒化模型对有机溶剂的分子动力学模拟

在基于Boltzmann分布对四种基本构象进行Monte Carlo取样后, 通过与全原子模型的范德华势比较得到了Gay-Berne (GB)参数. 又在对用量化计算得到的分子体系的电势进行电荷、偶极矩和四极矩的拟合后, 得到了电多极展开势(EMP)参数. 利用得到的粗粒化参数, 基于粗粒化模型, 对CHCl₃及四氢呋喃(THF)两种有机溶剂进行了分子动力学模拟(MDS), 并将结果同全原子模拟进行了比较. 计算结果表明用粗粒化模型从整体上能重复全原子模型的模拟结果, 但在某些细节的计算与全原子模型有偏差, 其原因可能是目前工作仅考虑了单位点情况, 为此今后在对具有复杂结构的分子进行粗粒化模拟时还应考虑合理放置及增加相互作用位点.

Electrochemical study of thymine dimer based on DNA charge transfer

Differential pulse voltammetry was used to study the formation and level of thymine dimer in DNA duplex modified on a gold electrode. The electrochemical signal of methylene blue coupled with ferricyanide can be obtained via DNA mediated electron transfer, which would be blocked during the formation of thymine dimer. DNA duplexes with different sequences differ in the level of thymine dimer under the same UV irradiation. Futhermore, the presence of guanine base directly preceding -TT- can effectively decrease the level of thymine dimer, possibly due to the self-repair process in which guanine participates. The proposed method can be further applied to DNA self-repair analysis.     

Three-dimensionally crossing manifold micro-mixer for fast mixing in a short channel length

In this study, we report a neo-conceptive three-dimensionally (3D) crossing manifold micromixer (CMM) embedded in microchannel. Fabricated by sequential processes of photolithography and two photon absorption stereolithography, this leads to a microfluidic system with a built-in micromixer in a site controlled manner. The effectiveness of CMM is investigated numerically and experimentally. Through the numerical simulation, it is estimated that a high mixing ratio of 90% can be obtained even in a channel length shorter than five times the channel width. This compares well with the conventional passive type of micromixers that have a gradual increase in mixing efficiency with the length of the channel. Furthermore, the mixing performance of the realized CMM built-in microchannel is observed by confocal microscopy.
