Rigid rod anchored to infinite membrane

We investigate the shape deformation of an infinite membrane anchored by a rigid rod. The density profile of the rod is calculated by the self-consistent-field theory and the shape of the membrane is predicted by the Helfrich membrane elasticity theory [W. Helfrich, Z. Naturforsch. 28c, 693 (1973)]. It is found that the membrane bends away from the rigid rod when the interaction between the rod and the membrane is repulsive or weakly attractive (adsorption). However, the pulled height of the membrane at first increases and then decreases with the increase of the adsorption strength. Compared to a Gaussian chain with the same length, the rigid rod covers much larger area of the membrane, whereas exerts less local entropic pressure on the membrane. An evident gap is found between the membrane and the rigid rod because the membrane's curvature has to be continuous. These behaviors are compared with that of the flexible-polymer-anchored membranes studied by previous Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analysis. It is straightforward to extend this method to more complicated and real biological systems, such as infinite membrane/multiple chains, protein inclusion, or systems with phase separation.     

Automated,continuous, and dynamic speciation of urinary arsenic in the bladder of living organisms using microdialysis sampling coupled on-line with high performance liquid chromatography and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry

An on-line and fully automated method was developed for the continuous and dynamic in vivo monitoring of four arsenic species [arsenite (AsIII), arsenate (AsV), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA)] in urine of living organisms. In this method a microdialysis sampling technique was employed to couple on-line with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS). Dialysates perfused through implanted microdialysis probes were collected with a sample loop of an on-line injector for direct and automated injection into HPLC system hyphenated with HGAAS. The saline (0.9% NaCl) solution was perfused at the rate of 1 microl min(-1) through the microdialysis probe and the dialysate was loaded into 50 microl of sample loop. The separation conditions were optimally selected to be in phosphate buffer solution at a pH 5.2 with a flow rate of 1.2 ml min(-1). The effluent from the HPLC was first mixed on-line at the exit of the column with HCl (1 M) solution and then mixed with a NaBH4 (0.2% m/v) solution. Based on the optimal conditions obtained, linear ranges of 2.5-50 ng ml(-1) for AsIII and 6.75-100 ng ml(-1) for the other three arsenic species were obtained. Detection limits of 1.00, 2.18, 1.03 and 2.17 ng ml(-1) were obtained for AsIII, DMA, MMA and AsV, respectively. Typical precision values of 3.4% (AsIII), 5.4% (DMA), 3.6% (MMA) and 7.5% (AsV) were obtained, respectively, at a 25 ng ml(-1) level. Recoveries close to 100%, relative to an aqueous standard, were observed for each species. The average in vivo recoveries of AsIII, DMA, MMA and AsV in rat bladder urine were 56+/-5%, 60+/-9%, 49+/-3% and 55+/-7%, respectively. The use of an on-line microdialysis-HPLC-HGAAS system permitted the determination of four urinary arsenic species in the bladder of an anesthetized rat with a temporal resolution of 50 min sampling.

Preparation of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) by using a SbF5-attached catalyst

In this report, a simple process for preparing HFC-245fa through the reaction of 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane (PCP) and anhydrous HF via two-step vapor-phase catalytic fluorination is described. The antimony pentafluoride catalyst was supported on inert porous materials to improve the catalytic activity. The resulting process catalyst not only exhibited high catalytic activity and excellent thermo-stability, but also improved the performance of SbF₅, in terms of hygroscopicity and corrosion.
