Dynamics of curved DNA molecules: prediction and experiment

We have developed a quantitative predictive model capable of describing the dynamics of migration of intrinsically curved DNA fragments on polyacrylamide gels. The model takes into account structural features of DNA, end-to-end distance, screening of hydrodynamic interactions, ionic strength of buffer, electrostatic persistence length, structural fluctuations of the macromolecule, counter condensation, and variation of dielectric constant and viscosity of water with MPD. In doing so, we have also addressed a decade old issue on the effect of the organic solvent 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol on gel migration of phased A-tracts. We show here that A-tract-solvent interactions are less favored compared with A-tract-A-tract and solvent-solvent interactions.

Precise and accurate determination of the stoichiometry of CuInS2 semiconductor material by electrochemical methods

Summary CuInS₂ is one of the important I–III–VI₂ ternary compounds which has in recent years received increasing interest in semiconductor science. In this study an electrochemical method has been developed based on a limited amount of available sample (0.5–10mg) for the precise and accurate determination of CuInS₂ composition. After decomposition of the sample in concentrated HNO₃ under pressure, copper and indium were sequentially determined by constant potential coulometry, and sulfur (as sulfate) by amperometric titration. Various experimental parameters which ensure high precision and accuracy of the results were carefully evaluated and calibrated. The overall errors for the determination of copper, indium and sulfur in a 10 mg sample were found to be +0.10%, –0.12% and +0.16%, respectively, which fullfills the requirement for accurate stoichiometric assessment.

Predicting adsorption isotherms of low-volatile compounds by temperature programmed desorption: iodine on carbon

Equilibrium adsorption isotherms for low-volatile compounds are extremely difficult to measure. A simple technique using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) is proposed. It is demonstrated that the two parameters needed for constructing the Langmuir isotherm can be derived with data from the TPD technique alone. Thus, the Langmuir isotherms of iodine on AX-21 super-activated carbon were obtained with this technique. A series of TPD experiments for samples with different initial loadings of iodine were carried out by varying the heating rates which resulted in different peak desorption temperatures. The peak desorption temperature decreased as the initial loading was increased because of the re-adsorption effect. The Langmuir constant was derived from kinetic theory with the activation energy for desorption obtained from the experiment. The activation energy for desorption was 12.3 kcal/mol. The Langmuir constants determined by this technique were in comparable order of magnitude to the reported values for iodine on activated carbon. The saturation capacity of AX-21 for iodine could also be determined from the TPD data obtained from samples with different initial loadings. The estimated saturation capacity from the TPD experiment was 2.96 g I(2)/g AX-21, which was close to the experimentally measured saturation capacity of 3.25 g I(2)/g AX-21 for the same system.     

Pseudo[n,m]rotaxanes of Cucurbit[7/8]uril and Viologen‐Naphthalene Derivative: A Precise Definition of Rotaxane

Rotaxane is a kind of classic supramolecule, which is usually constructed from a number of macrocycles and one axis molecule. Herein, we have expanded the supramolecular structure of [n]rotaxane to offer a precise definition of (pseudo)[n,m]rotaxane for accurately describing the two kinds of (pseudo)rotaxanes structures, which are self‐assembled from cucurbit[7/8]uril (CB[7/8]) and viologen‐naphthalene derivative, respectively. Furthermore, these CB‐based pseudorotaxanes exhibit varied photophysical properties, stimuli‐responsive behavior triggered by competitive guest, and self‐sorting behavior.     

Study of Six Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Chemical Deoxygenation Microemulsion-Stabilized Room Temperature Phosphorimetry

Six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are studied by chemical deoxygenation microemulsion-stabilized room temperature phosphorimetry with sodium sulfite as an oxygen scavenger and thallous nitrate as a heavy atom perturber in sodium dodecyl sulfate medium. Several factors influencing room temperature phosphorescence such as the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the heavy atom concentration, the pH, and the concentration of sodium sulfite are discussed and the quenching effect of NO₂⁻on room temperature phosphorimetry of PAHs was compared in the microemulsion and micelle media.

Chemical composition of the volatile oil from Cynanchum stauntonii and its activities of anti-influenza virus

The volatile oil of the roots of Cynanchum stauntonii was examined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Thirty-eight constituents were identified. (E,E)-2,4-Decadienal, 3-efhyl-4-methypentanol, 5-pentyl-3H-furan-2-one, (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal and 2(3H)-furanone,dihydro-5-pentyl were found to be the major components. The volatile oil exhibited the activities against influenza virus in vitro (IC₅₀s = 64 μg/ml). In in vivo experiment, it prevented influenza virus-induced deaths in a dose-dependent manner.     

The Discrete Approximation of Continuous-state Nonlinear Branching Processes in Lévy Random Environments北大核心CSCD

In this paper, we establish the discrete approximation of continuous-state nonlinear branching processes in Lévy random environments by using tightness and convergence sequence in infinite dimensional product space via stochastic differential equations. Taking α-stable branching as an example, the conditions which are given to discretize continuous-state nonlinear branching processes in Lévy random environments are verified. © 2022 Chinese Academy of Sciences.
