Prediction of retention times of proteins in hydrophobic interaction chromatography using only their amino acid composition

This paper focuses on the prediction of the dimensionless retention time of proteins (DRT) in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) by means of mathematical models based, essentially, only on aminoacidic composition. The results show that such prediction is indeed possible. Our main contribution was the design of models that predict the DRT using the minimal information concerning a protein: its aminoacidic composition. The performance is similar to that observed in models that use much more sophisticated information such as the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Three models that, in addition to the amino acid composition, use different assumptions about the amino acids tendency to be exposed to the solvent, were evaluated in 12 proteins with known experimental DRT. In all the cases analyzed, the model that obtained the best results was the one based on a linear estimation of the aminoacidic surface composition. The models were adjusted using a collection of 74 vectors of aminoacidic properties plus a set of 6388 vectors derived from these using two mathematical tools: k-means and self-organizing maps (SOM) algorithms. The best vector was generated by the SOM algorithm and was interpreted as a hydrophobicity scale based partly on the tendency of the amino acids to be hidden in proteins. The prediction error (MSE(JK)) obtained by this model was almost 35% smaller than that obtained by the model that supposes that all the amino acids are completely exposed and 40% smaller than that obtained by the model that uses a simple correction factor considering the general tendency of each amino acid to be exposed to the solvent. In fact, the performance of the best model based on the aminoacidic composition was 5% better than that observed in the model based on the three-dimensional structure of proteins.     

REDUCTION OF NO BY CO OVER NiWO4, NiO, AND WO3 CATALYSTS

We present a comparative study of NiWO₄, NiO, and WO₃ catalysts for simultaneous conversion of NO and CO. Samples were synthesized by reacting ammonium metatungstate and/or nickel nitrate at high temperature (773 K to 903 K) under an oxygen stream. Catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area measurements, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic reduction of NO by CO took place in the temperature range (523 to 973) K under highly reductive conditions (NO:CO= 1:5) over NiWO₄NiO, and WO₃, respectively. The 100 % NO conversion at GHSV of 11460 h^-1 was achieved at 773 K over NiWO₄ and at 848 K over NiO. The WO₃ was deactivated at 898 K. However, in the range (523 to 723) K NiO was more active than NiWO₄ and WO₃ catalysts.     

Trehalose-based cyclodextrin analogs: cyclotrehalans (CTs)

A new concept for the de novo synthesis of artificial glyconanocavities is presented. The use of alternating α,α′-trehalose building blocks and (thio)urea segments allows the efficient synthesis of a new family of cyclooligosaccharides, namely cyclotrehalans (CTs), featuring a convex-shaped cavity with an apolar environment. CTs are designed to exhibit molecular inclusion abilities similar to that of cyclodextrins (CDs). Contrary to CDs, CTs expose the monosaccharide β-face to the inner cavity, while the (thio)urea tethers provides some conformational adaptability. High-yielding syntheses of a series of CTs and a preliminary evaluation of their inclusion properties are reported.     

Evaluating the significance threshold in robustness testing. A critical discussion on the influence of time in molecular fluorescence spectrometry

Robustness experiments are performed in analytical chemistry to assess the behaviour of an analytical procedure under conditions slightly different from those of the experimental optimum. This work presents a study of robustness applied to a previously proposed fluorescent methodology using two replicated 2(7-4) saturated fractional factorial designs. A comparison is established between three different ways to test the significance of the effects of the variables involved on the response signal. Critical discussions about the most appropriate threshold to be introduced when testing for significance of the factors and the influence of the time necessary to carry out the experiments are included.     

New understanding of the nature of OH adsorption on Pt(1 1 1) electrodes

The adsorption of hydroxyl on Pt(1 1 1) single crystal electrodes from aqueous acidic solutions is carefully reinvestigated. The effect of small additions (10⁻⁸–10⁻⁵ M) of chloride and bisulphate anions on the OH adsorption region in perchloric acid solution has been studied. Two regions can be differentiated in the voltammetric profile, that behave differently after the addition of the foreign anion. The initial broad adsorption process is unaffected until the highest concentration is attained. However, the sharper peak at higher potentials is affected even at the lower anion concentration. Since mass transport limitations allow to discard the anion adsorption as the main process giving this peak, we propose that the two processes are due to the dissociative adsorption of two different kinds of water, that are affected by the anion in a different way. From this idea, a new model, based on the Frumkin adsorption isotherm, is proposed, which gives an excellent fit of the experimental results.

Rapid Synthesis of Nanocrystalline TiO2/SnO2 Binary Oxides and Their Photoinduced Decomposition of Methyl Orange

A rapid and simple method, the so-called stearic acid method (SAM) was developed to prepare nanostructured TiO₂/SnO₂ binary oxides by combustion of stearic acid precursors. The preparative process was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). During the preparative process, metal precursors were dispersed in stearic acid at molecular level. Microstructure of the samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET specific surface area measurement and the results were compared with those obtained by conventional sol-gel method. The photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange was used as a model system to determine the relative influences of the preparation method and the concentration of SnO₂ on the photocatalytic activities. It was found that preparative methods affected the crystalline structure of TiO₂/SnO₂ powders and the anatase phase of TiO₂ was stabilized by the addition of SnO₂ in SAM. The samples prepared by SAM showed better dispersity, larger specific surface area and the TiO₂/SnO₂ (r=0.15, SAM) catalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity than Degussa P25.     

Chemisorption of atomic hydrogen on rhodium: An ab initio cluster-model approach

Interaction of atomic hydrogen with cluster models simulating the Rh(111) surface has been studied at the ab initio SCF level using relativistic non-empirical pseudopotentials and moderately large basis sets. From the bonding parameters, it is seen that chemisorption on the threefold open position is five times more favoured than on the threefold eclipsed one, and the bonding picture is rather different for both active sites. Since two different kinds of adsorbed hydrogen atoms should exist according to various experimental techniques, the present work adds further evidence to the existence of these two types of adsorption and reports some structural parameters which can help to a more detailed characterization in the near future.     

Polarographic determination of pilocarpine using the catalysed pre-wave of nickel(II)

On the basis of a detailed study of the pilocarpine-induced nickel(II) pre-wave using various polarographic techniques, an electrode process mechanism is proposed in which the formation of a catalytic complex between aquo-nickel(II) and veronalate-nickel(II) on the one hand and unprotonated pilocarpine adsorbed on the electrode surface on the other is followed by the reduction of nickel(II) in the complex and the release of the catalytic ligand. The pre-peak recorded by differential-pulse polarography in the system 1 × 10^?3 M Ni(II)-1 × 10^?2 M sodium veronal, nitric acid (pH 8.5) (with ionic strength maintained at 0.2 with sodium nitrate) can be used for quantitative determination of pilocarpine at concentrations in the range 2.5 × 10^?7-8 × 10^?6 M.
