Resonance Rayleigh scattering determination of trace amounts of Al in natural waters and biological samples based on the formation of an Al(III)-morin-surfactant complex

A novel method for the determination of trace amounts of Al(III) based on resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) has been developed. In the presence of some surfactants, Al(III) can react with morin and form an Al(III)-morin-surfactant complex, which results in the enhancement of RRS intensity and the appearance of the corresponding RRS spectral characteristics. Their maximum scatter peaks are at 476 nm for the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) system, 489 nm for the cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) system, 474 nm for the Triton X-100 system, and 473 nm for the Tween-20 system. The enhanced RRS intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of Al(III). The detection limits are in the range of (0.50-1.2)×10⁻⁷ mol l⁻¹ depending on the surfactant. The characteristics of RRS spectra of the complexes, the optimum conditions of these reactions and the influencing factors have been investigated. The method has high selectivity, and was successfully applied to the determination of Al(III) in natural and biological samples. Furthermore, according to different complexation capacity of Al(III)-morin-CTAB system under two pH conditions, speciation analysis of Al(III) in natural waters was explored. The labile monomeric Al fraction (mainly inorganic Al, Al_i) is determined at acidic pH and the total monomeric Al fraction (Al_a) is determined at alkaline pH. The results are in agreement with those obtained by Driscoll’s 8-hydroxyquinoline extraction-ion exchange method.     

First total synthesis of a GPI-anchored peptide

A GPI-anchored dipeptide of sperm CD52 antigen was prepared through a convergent synthesis. First, the dipeptide with its C-terminus free and the GPI with its nonreducing end phosphoethanolamine bearing a free amino group were synthesized separately. Then, the two building blocks were coupled with use of EDC/HOBt as the condensation reagent. Finally, the GPI-anchored peptide was deprotected to give the target molecule 1.

Selective bonding of pyrazine to silicon(100)-2x1 surfaces: the role of nitrogen atoms

The covalent binding of pyrazine on Si(100) have been investigated using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Experimental results clearly suggest that the attachment occurs exclusively through the bonding of the two para-nitrogen atoms with the surface without the involvement of the carbon atoms, as evidenced from the retention of the (sp2) C-H stretching mode in HREELS and a significant down shift of 1.6 eV in the binding energy of N 1s. The binding mechanism for pyrazine on Si(100) demonstrates that reaction channels for heteroatomic aromatic molecules are strongly dependent on the electronic properties of the constituent atoms.

Here, we report a new method based on the combination of membrane separation technology and nanomaterial to rapid detection of peptides and protein with MALDI-TOF MS. This method shows advantages as it can inhibit the heterogeneous of sample spot and enhance the target molecular signal intensity.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering studies on the adsorption of p-nitrobenzoic acid at Au electrode under different potential with ultraviolet excitation

The potential-dependent surface-enhanced Raman spectrum of adsorbed p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA) on the roughened Au electrode has been obtained by using ultraviolet (UV) excitation at 325 nm. The surface-enhanced Raman spectra of PNBA intensely changed when the voltage was in the rang of negative value, and the electrode potential at which the resonance (potential of maximum intensity) occurs varied when the vibrational mode changes, indicating that the PNBA molecules were chemisorbed on the roughened Au surface. The charge transfer (CT) mechanism could probably explain the experiment results in the present work.

Cascade Rearrangement of 5-Cyclopentylidenecyclooctanones

Acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 5-cyclopentylidenecyclooctanone derivatives 9a-c was examined to obtain polyspiropolyquinanes 11a-c, considered to have a unique helical structure, through cascade rearrangement pathways consisting of continuous transannular cyclization followed by successive 1,2-alkyl shifts. The substrates were prepared easily by use of the Wittig or McMurry reaction. Reaction of the 5-cyclopentylidenecyclooctanone (9a) with acid gave the expected dispirotriquinane ketone 11a in high yield. The precise mechanism was elucidated by a deuterium-labeling experiment. In the case of the ketone 9b, having another spiroannulated cyclopentane ring attached on 9a, the trispirotetraquiane 11b was not obtained but the bis-propellane-type tetrahydrofuran 25 was produced exclusively. The 5-(5'-cyclopentylidenecyclooctylidene)cyclooctanone (9c) afforded the polycyclic compounds 27-31, depending on the acid used, instead of the desired tetraspiropentaquinane 11c. The structures of the products were determined by NMR spectral data including 2D (13)C INADEQUATE spectra and X-ray crystallographic analyses. The unexpected rearrangement pathways are also discussed.     

Euler operator and homogeneous hida distributions

Let (S)⊄L ²(S′(∔),μ)⊄(S)^* be the Gel'fand triple over the white noise space (S′(∔),μ). Let (e _n ,n>-0) be the ONB ofL ²(∔) consisting of the eigenfunctions of the s.a. operator . In this paper the Euler operator Δ _E is defined as the sum , where ∂ _i stands for the differential operatorD _{e i}. It is shown that Δ _E is the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup (T _t ), where (T _t ϕ)(x)=ϕ(e ^t x) for ϕ∈(S). Similarly to the finite dimensional case, the λ-order homogeneous test functionals are characterized by the Euler equation: Δ _Eϕ =λ_ϕ. Via this characterization the λ-order homogeneous Hida distributions are defined and their properties are worked out. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
