Structural basis for discriminative regulation of gene expression by adenine- and guanine-sensing mRNAs

Metabolite-sensing mRNAs, or "riboswitches," specifically interact with small ligands and direct expression of the genes involved in their metabolism. Riboswitches contain sensing "aptamer" modules, capable of ligand-induced structural changes, and downstream regions, harboring expression-controlling elements. We report the crystal structures of the add A-riboswitch and xpt G-riboswitch aptamer modules that distinguish between bound adenine and guanine with exquisite specificity and modulate expression of two different sets of genes. The riboswitches form tuning fork-like architectures, in which the prongs are held in parallel through hairpin loop interactions, and the internal bubble zippers up to form the purine binding pocket. The bound purines are held by hydrogen bonding interactions involving conserved nucleotides along their entire periphery. Recognition specificity is associated with Watson-Crick pairing of the encapsulated adenine and guanine ligands with uridine and cytosine, respectively.     

Spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum based on charge transfer complex in PVA medium

A very simple, selective and sensitive method was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of Mo in the presence of W. The method was based on the formation of color charge transfer complex, molybdotungstophosphate-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbezidine anion, which was solubilized and stabilized in PVA medium. Following the recommended procedure, molybdenum could be determined in the linear range of 0.04-2.5 mug ml(-1) and the molar absorptivity was 1.47x10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) at 660 nm. The proposed method had been applied to the determination of trace molybdenum in tungsten ore with satisfactory results.

Microwave‐assisted synthesis of phenylenedi(4′,4“‐tetrahydroquinoline) and di(4′,4”‐tetrahydropyridine) derivatives

The synthesis of bifunctional pyridine and quinolione derivatives were investigated using terephthalic and isophthalic aldehydes as a precursor. The reaction proceeds under microwave irradiation with good yield (70–92%) and short reaction time (7–9 min.). We provide a rapid and efficient method of synthesizing a range of bifunctional monocyclic and bicyclic products related to 1,4‐dihydropyridines (1,4‐DHPs).     

BaB2O4—CdO和BaB2O4—ZnO二元系相图的研究

本文用差热分析和X射线衍射方法测定了BaB_2O_4-CdO和BaB_2O_4-ZnO二元系相图。在BaB_2O_4-CdO体系中存在着一新化合物BaCdB_2O_5,在785±3℃同成份熔化。在BaB_2O_4-ZnO体系中,由包晶反应形成一新化合物BaZn_3B_2O_7,反应温度为903±3℃。在富BaB_2O_4区形成一个宽的低温相BaB_2O_4固溶区。研究结果表明,用Zn~(2 )替代BaB_2O_4中Ba~(2 )形成固溶体,不能将高温相BaB_2O_4稳定到室温,证实了“经验函数关系式”的预测结果。     

Molecular emission cavity analysis: Part 21. Effect of Phosphoric Acid on the Determination of Sulphate

Phosphoric acid at levels above 10^-3 M depresses the S₂ emission from sulphate, but concentrations up to 0.1 M may be necessary to eliminate cationic interferences.

Synthesis of novel rigid triazine-based calix[6]arenes

In this report, the stepwise synthesis of a novel rigid and functionalised macrocycle 2 based on triazine and phenylenediamine linkers, is presented. Poor recognition of the macrocycle 2 for its substrates is observed, which shows experimentally that for the meltriazine based-calix[6]arene system, the binding ability of the melamine moiety gets more benefit from the ring flexibility derived from a xylenediamine linker 1 than from a phenylenediamine linker 2.     

Dielectric properties and frequency response of self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols

This paper presents dielectric properties of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) under an ac electric field. Using a Hg-SAM/SAM-Hg junction, we measured the ac impedance of alkanethiol SAMs using a sinusoidal perturbation of 30 mV (peak-to-peak) with frequency ranging from 1 Hz to 1 MHz at zero bias. Semicircles at higher frequencies and at middle frequencies along with Warburg lines at lower frequencies were observed in complex plane impedance plots, that is, Nyquist plots. The frequency response of SAMs was analyzed by modeling the junction using an equivalent circuit and fitting the Nyquist plots. The semicircles at higher frequencies are attributed to the effect of the SAM/SAM interfaces, and the ones at middle frequencies are attributed to the effect of alkanethiol SAMs. The comparison in the plots of the imaginary part of the impedance Z against frequency for the bare Hg electrodes (in pure ethanal) and the SAM-covered Hg electrodes (in alkanethiol solution) supports the analysis. The Warburg lines are attributed to a certain ionic impurity. The dielectric loss spectra are further analyzed. Chain-length-dependent peaks, which correspond to different relaxation mechanisms, at higher frequencies and middle frequencies were observed in the spectra of the dissipation factor (tan delta vs frequency). The peaks move to small frequency with the increase of chain length of alkanethiols. Using a correlation of peak position with the chain length, we then derived active energies of 39-99 meV for alkanethiol SAMs of C7-C18 under an ac electric field.
