超强线极化激光在e-p等离子体中传播的成丝不稳定性

基于超强线极化激光在正负电子对(e-p)等离子体中的传播方程,讨论了相互作用过程中的成丝不稳定性。得到了电磁波的非线性色散关系和不稳定性增长率,并讨论了传播过程中激光强度和等离子体温度对成丝不稳定性的影响。结果表明,成丝不稳定性的强弱主要由相互作用的非线性效应与受有质动力作用后等离子体密度的减小之间的竞争所决定。     

A Convenient Synthesis of Thiazolidin-2-ones from Thiazolidine-2-thiones: Antibiotic Activity and Revisiting the Mechanism

Abstract

Various substituted thiazolidin-2-ones were synthesized from the corresponding thiazolidine-2-thiones with bromoethanol in ethanol with sodium ethoxide as a base. The optimal reaction conditions and mechanism were reinvestigated in detail. The bioassay indicated that (S)-4-isobutyl and (S)-4-benzylthiazolidin-2-ones show certain inhibitive activities against Candida albicans and Escherichia coli.

Structurally Homogeneous Nanosheets from Self‐Assembly of a Collagen‐Mimetic Peptide

A collagen‐mimetic peptide, NSIII, has been designed with three sequential blocks having positive, neutral, and negative charges, respectively. The non‐canonical imino acid, (2S,4S)‐4‐aminoproline (amp), was used to specify the positive charges at the Xaa positions of (Xaa‐Yaa‐Gly) triads in the N‐terminal domain of NSIII. Peptide NSIII underwent self‐assembly from aqueous solution to form a highly homogeneous population of nanosheets. Two‐dimensional crystalline sheets formed in which the length of the peptide defined the height of the sheets. These results contrasted with prior results on a similar multi‐domain collagen‐mimetic polypeptides in which the sheets had highly polydisperse distribution of sizes in the (x/y)‐ and (z)‐dimensions. The structural differences between the two nanosheet assemblies were interpreted in terms of the relative stereoelectronic effects of the different aminoproline derivatives on the local triple helical conformation of the peptides.     

Nucleic Acid Based Logical Systems

Researchers increasingly visualize a significant role for artificial biochemical logical systems in biological engineering, much like digital logic circuits in electrical engineering. Those logical systems could be utilized as a type of servomechanism to control nanodevices in vitro, monitor chemical reactions in situ, or regulate gene expression in vivo. Nucleic acids (NA), as carriers of genetic information with well‐regulated and predictable structures, are promising materials for the design and engineering of biochemical circuits. A number of logical devices based on nucleic acids (NA) have been designed to handle various processes for technological or biotechnological purposes. This article focuses on the most recent and important developments in NA‐based logical devices and their evolution from in vitro, through cellular, even towards in vivo biological applications.     

Application of UPLC-Quadrupole-TOF-MS Coupled with Recycling Preparative HPLC in Isolation and Preparation of Coumarin Isomers with Similar Polarity from Peucedanum praeruptorum

A strategy of ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) coupled to recycling preparative HPLC was utilized to sensitively detect the minor constituents and preparatively isolate coumarin isomers from the petroleum ether extract of Peucedanum praeruptorum roots. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was achieved on an Agilent ZORBAX Extend C-18 analytical column (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d. 1.8 μm) using methanol:H₂O as the mobile phase, and three pairs of coumarin isomers with similar polarity were detected. Then recycling preparative HPLC was successfully used in one step for the isolation and purification of these six compounds with optimized mobile phases (methanol: H₂O, 73:27, 81:19, 78:22, v/v). The structures of six coumarins including three new coumarins named praeruptorin (F–H) (1, 3 and 6) were identified by spectroscopic analysis.     

电子传输材料1,3,4-恶二唑衍生物和1,2,4-三唑衍生物的DFT研究

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法,对1,3,4噁二唑衍生物和1,2,4三唑衍生物两类电子传输材料在中性、阴离子态和阳离子态下分别进行几何结构优化计算.结果表明,1,3,4噁二唑衍生物的电子传输过程主要是分子内噁二唑上的N→O电子转移,1,2,4三唑衍生物的电子传输过程主要是分子内三唑上N(双键)→N(单键)以及三唑环向与N相连的苯环电子转移.当其苯环上3位被拉电子基团取代后,其电子传输性能提高;而被给电子基团取代后,电子传输性能降低.
