DNA combining and photocleaving properties of photosensitizer-encapsulated silica nanoparticles

Abstract  

Based on theoretical predictions, water-soluble silica nanoparticle encapsulated hypocrellin A (HA) was prepared, and its photosensitization activity was evaluated. The encapsulated HA showed not only very good water solubility, but also much stronger singlet oxygen generation ability than free HA. Investigations on binding interactions with DNA showed promising results as well. These findings suggest that HA carrier can exert photodynamic action via photosensitization.     

Sarcoglycosides A – C,New O‐Glycosylglycerol Derivatives from the South China Sea Soft Coral Sarcophyton infundibuliforme

Chemical examination of the soft coral Sarcophyton infundibuliforme collected from the South China Sea resulted in the isolation of the three new O‐glycosylglycerol derivatives sarcoglycosides A–C ( 1 – 3 ), together with two known compounds, chimyl alcohol ( 4 ) and hexadecanol ( 5 ). Their structures were elucidated by combined spectral and chemical methods. All the compounds showed moderate toxicity to brine shrimps Artemia salina.     

Determination of 76 pharmaceutical drugs by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry in slaughterhouse wastewater

A multi-residue method for the analysis of 76 pharmaceutical agents of nine classes of drugs (tetracyclines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, β-agonists, β-blockers, diuretics, sedatives, sulfonamides and chloramphenicol) in slaughterhouse wastewater and a receiving river is presented. After simultaneous extraction with an Oasis HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge and further purification using an amino SPE cartridge, analytes were detected by liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry in positive or negative ion mode. Standard addition was used for quantification to overcome unavoidable matrix effects during ESI-MS analysis. Recoveries for most analytes based on matrix-matched calibration in different test matrices were >60%. The method quantification limits of 76 pharmaceuticals were in the range 0.2–30 ng/L. Nineteen compounds of 76 drugs were found in raw and treated slaughterhouse wastewater from four main slaughterhouses in Beijing. Sulfanamides (sulfanilamide, sulfameter), fluoroquenones (ofloxacin, pefloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin), tetracyclines (tetracycline, oxytetracycline) and macrolides (kitasamycin, tylosin, erythromycin) were most frequently detected, with the highest levels up to ∼3 μg/L in slaughterhouse wastewater and ∼1 μg/L in treated wastewater. Illicit drugs for animal feeding such as clenbuterol and diazepam were commonly detected in slaughterhouse wastewater. These analytes were also observed in a river receiving slaughterhouse wastewater, with a highest level of up to 0.2 μg/L.     

Modeling of radionickel sorption on MX-80 bentonite as a function of pH and ionic strength

MX-80 bentonite was detected using acid-based titration, XRD and FTIR in detail. The sorption behavior of 63Ni(Ⅱ) from aqueous solution to MX-80 bentonite was investigated as a function of solid content, ionic strength and pH by using batch technique. The experimental data of 63Ni(Ⅱ) sorption on MX-80 bentonite was obtained using the diffuse layer model (DLM) with the aid of FITEQL 3.1 program. The results indicated that the sorption of 63Ni(Ⅱ) on MX-80 bentonite was mainly dominated by surface complexation...     

Oscore: a combined score to reduce false negative rates for peptide identification in tandem mass spectrometry analysis

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been widely used in proteomics studies. Multiple algorithms have been developed for assessing matches between MS/MS spectra and peptide sequences in databases. However, it is still a challenge to reduce false negative rates without compromising the high confidence of peptide identification. In this study, we developed the score, Oscore, by logistic regression using SEQUEST and AMASS variables to identify fully tryptic peptides. Since these variables showed complicated association with each other, combining them together rather than applying them to a threshold model improved the classification of correct and incorrect peptide identifications. Oscore achieved both a lower false negative rate and a lower false positive rate than PeptideProphet on datasets from 18 known protein mixtures and several proteome-scale samples of different complexity, database size and separation methods. By a three-way comparison among Oscore, PeptideProphet and another logistic regression model which made use of PeptideProphet's variables, the main contributor for the improvement made by Oscore is discussed.
