Separation, identification, and interaction of heparin oligosaccharides with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor using capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed for the separation of heparin oligosaccharides compatible to study the interactions between the oligosaccharides and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Unfractionated heparin was eliminitively degraded to heparin oligosaccharides by an endolytic heparinase. The degraded smaller oligosaccharides (M(r) < 1000) were baseline-separated by CE under a 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 9.0) in 10 min. Standard heparin disaccharides and larger oligosaccharides (1000 < M(r) < 8000) were all separated under optimized separation conditions. Compared with standard heparin disaccharides, smaller oligosaccharides contained one nonsulfated, two monosulfated, and two disulfated disaccharides, but trisulfated disaccharides were not found. The smaller oligosaccharides were also identified and molecular mass was deduced by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Furthermore, interactions between G-CSF and the oligosaccharides were studied by using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) under the above separation conditions. It was found that larger oligosaccharides could interact with G-CSF while smaller oligosaccharides were not observed to bind to G-CSF under the experimental conditions. In conclusion, the purified heparinase could selectively degrade heparin into oligosaccharides and the interaction between G-CSF and heparin was correlated with the chain length of heparin.

利用跟踪TPR—GC和XRD技术考察LaNiO3的还原机理

钙钛矿型复合氧化物对许多反应具有较高的催化活性,它们被广泛地用作CO氧化的催化剂.陈水华等对SmMeO_3(Me:V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co)和Tascon等对LaMeO_3(Me:V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni)上CO催化活性评价说明,LnMnO_3和LnCoO_3(Ln=La、Sm)活性最好,而LaNiO_3则表现和LaCoO_3相似活性,由此可推断这些氧化物具有相似的催化性能.本文用TPR-GC和XRD考察了在还原气氛下,LaNiO_3的还原机理,这对研究其电、磁特性具有一定的指导意义.     

pH值对聚四氨基酞菁钴膜电化学和紫外光谱性质的影响

用循环伏安法在导电玻璃(ITO)和玻碳电极(GC)上制备了聚氨基酞菁钴(CoTAPc)修饰电极(CoTAPc/GC)。探讨了pH值对CoTAPc膜的光谱和电化学性质的影响，发现其氧化还原电位与pH值有线性关系，电催化活性也随酸度的增加而增加。CoTAPc膜的紫外吸收带变化与溶液pH值及在溶液中浸泡时间有关。     

Sensitive Determination of DNA by Resonance Light Scattering with Pentamethoxyl Red

A novel sensitive method for the determination of nucleic acid (DNA) using the resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra of pentamethoxyl red has been developed. It is based on the effects on the resonance light scattering of Pentamethoxyl Red. The effective factors and the optimum conditions were studied, and the enhanced intensity of RLS is in proportion to the concentration of nucleic acids in the range of 0–2.54 µg mL⁻¹ for ct-DNA, 0–4.54 µg mL⁻¹ for hs-DNA. The limits of detection are 1.1 and 2.1 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. Most foreign substances do not interfere in the determination, and the method has good selectivity and high sensitivity. It has been applied to the determination of DNA in synthetic samples and in real samples with satisfactory results.

Energetic preferences for alpha,beta versus beta,gamma unsaturation

Density functional theory has been applied at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level to examine the energetics of alpha,beta- versus beta,gamma-unsaturation for some common organic functional groups. Specifically, the relative stabilities of allyl-X (H2C=CHCH2X) and 1-propenyl-X (H3CCH=CHX) isomers have been computed for X = methyl, vinyl, phenyl, formyl, acetyl, methoxy, methylthio, methylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl, sulfamoyl, and methoxysulfonyl, and the results are compared to available experimental data. The intrinsic preference of 3 kcal/mol for the 1-propenyl isomer when X = CH3 is exceeded by 2-4 kcal/mol for first-row conjugating groups, but it is not met for the sulfur-containing groups. In particular, alpha,beta-unsaturation is favored by less than 1 kcal/mol for the sulfone and sulfonamide analogues, while it is preferred by 8 kcal/mol for the vinyl-substituted case. Detailed structural results and torsional energy profiles are also reported.     

Supported molybdena catalysts: Characterization of oxidized,reduced, and sulfided MoO3 prepared by an adsorption method

Highly dispersed molybdena-titania catalyst can be prepared by an equilibrium adsorption method. In this method, molybdate anions adsorb onto the positively charged titania surfaces via electrostatic attraction by controlling the pH of the impregnating solution and they increase as an inverse function of the pH. ⁹⁵Mo-NMR and UV spectroscopic studies of impregnating solution show that the polymeric species like Mo₇O₂₄ ⁶-ions are adsorbed on titania in the acidic impregnating solution. XRD, Raman, and XPS data of the calcined samples show that mono-layer coverage of molybdenum oxide over-layer possesses a highly distorted MoO₆ group with a molecular geometry resembling the distorted square pyramid. The catalytic oxidation of methanol over the surface molybdate species on titania possesses higher turnover numbers and higher selectivities of partial oxidation products than the catalysts supported on alumina, silica, zirconia, or magnesia. Changes of the surface properties either after reduction and sulfiding treatment over monolayer catalyst on titania have also been investigated. The NO chemisorption and XPS studies show that two types of active sites appeared after reduction treatment: one site is active for hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene and the other site is active for metathesis of propene. A higher degree coordinative unsaturations of MO is required for hydrogenation than metathesis. After sulfiding treatments of the catalyst, hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene also requires triply coordinative unsaturation, and hydrogenolysis of thiophene requires the ensemble of doubly or triply coordinative unsaturations.     

Diaqua­bis[2′‐(4,5‐diaza­fluoren‐9‐yl­idene)picolinohydrazidato‐κ2N,O]zinc(II) tetra­hydrate: a metal–water chain complex containing cyclic water hexa­mers

In the title compound, [Zn(C₁₇H₁₀N₅O)₂(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O, cyclic water hexa­mers forming one‐dimensional metal–water chains are observed. The water clusters are trapped by the co‐operative association of coordination inter­actions and hydrogen bonds. The Zn^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octa­hedral coordination environment comprising two O atoms and two N atoms from two 2′‐(4,5‐diaza­fluoren‐9‐yl­idene)picolinohydrazidate ligands and two water mol­ecules.
