Study on the interaction mechanism between aromatic amino acids and quercetin

In this paper, we selected quercetin and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine) as the research objects to investigate the change rules in the reaction process. The thermodynamic functions (Ka, ΔG, and ΔS) of the interactions between quercetin and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine) were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. The values of binding constant (Ka) reached maximum at 25°C; the entropies and Gibbs free energies were both negative at different temperatures. The kinetic parameters of quercetin and amino acids in the interaction process was determined by microcalorimetry. The results inferred that the driving force of the reaction was hydrogen bond or van der Waals force.     

A novel method for the analysis of calf thymus DNA based on CdTe quantum dots-Ru(bpy) 3 2+ photoinduced electron transfer system

A method has been developed for the rapid determination of calf thymus (ct) DNA that is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) that occurs between CdTe quantum dots and the ruthenium(II)tris-bipyridyl complex. The latter quenches the photoluminescence (PL) of the quantum dots through PET. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant is 2,500 L?mol^?1. The intensity of the PL the system is recovered in the presence of ct DNA, and relative recovered PL intensity is linearly proportional to the concentration of ct-DNA. The dynamic range is from 17?µM to 1.5 mM of DNA, and the detection limit (at S/N?=?3) is 5.7?µM. The relative standard deviation (at 0.5 mM of ct-DNA) is 4.1% (n?=?11). A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.     

Enhancement of light-emitting efficiency using combined plasmonic Ag grating and dielectric grating

Based on the analysis of the near-field evanescent wave in total internal reflection, the flip-chip light-emitting diode (LED) structure was proposed by placing a plasmonic Ag grating and a perforated sapphire grating in the substrate. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method has been applied to study the spectral properties of the hybrid structure and the enhancement factor of light extraction efficiency of the LED model. From the computation examples, the effects of structure parameters on the extraction enhancement have been investigated. The results indicate that the plasmonic grating can enhance the near-field evanescent wave and couple it to propagation wave in the specific wavelength bands, which leads to the photons emitting out of the LED chip with high extraction efficiency. Due to the combined gratings used, the enhancement factor of the light extraction efficiency can reach approximately 4 times at a relatively longer wavelength.     

Copper‐catalyzed asymmetric 1,4‐conjugate addition of dialkylzinc to enones

Asymmetric 1,4‐conjugation addition of dialkylzinc (diethylzinc and dimethylzinc) to cyclic enones, chalcone and nitroalkenes was achieved by a 25 mol% (R)‐6,6′‐Br₂‐BINOL( 1f ), 25 mol% CuSPh and 100 mol% dicyclohexylmethylamin(Cy₂NMe) catalyst system. The Cu(I) catalyst system enables the cyclic enone, chalcone and nitroalkene generality with high enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee) and isolated yield (up to 94%) under mild reaction conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of benzylzinc reagents with 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene

α-Trifluoromethyl alkenes can be used as peptide isosteres, moreover, the pre-installed vinyl group make it possible that transformation to diverse fluorine-containing unities. However, the cross-coupling of benzyl group with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes has yet to be developed. In this report, we describe a general method for the cross-coupling of benzylzinc reagents with 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (BTP) to afford diverse α-trifluoromethylalkene derivatives by using Pd(TFA)₂ as catalyst. This method takes advantage of cheap industrial available fluorine building blocks and easily prepared benzylzinc reagents to generate α-trifluoromethylalkene derivatives, which features with mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope and feasibility of product transformations.     

Modular amino acid amide chiral ligands for enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes

Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to a series of aromatic aldehydes was developed using a modular amino acid amide chiral ligand (2S)‐3‐phenyl‐N‐((R)‐1‐phenyl‐ethyl)‐2‐(tosylamino)propanamide without using titanium complex. The catalytic system employing 10 mol% of 1g was found to promote the addition of diethylzinc (ZnEt₂) to a wide range of aromatic aldehydes with electron‐donating and electron‐withdrawing substituents, giving up to 82% ee of the corresponding secondary alcohol under mild conditions.
