18O同位素标记定量肽段串联体蛋白质结合同位素稀释-多反应监测质谱的蛋白质绝对定量新方法

建立了定量肽段串联体蛋白质(concatamers of Q peptides, QconCATs)结合¹⁸O同位素标记-多反应监测质谱的蛋白质绝对定量新方法。首先对QconCAT重组蛋白质进行了纯度表征,十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)表征结果表明重组蛋白质的纯度在99%以上,相对分子质量约为63.4 kDa。对QconCAT重组蛋白质酶切后的肽段混合物进行质谱分析,并经pFind和pLabel软件处理,验证了目标肽段。还考察了QconCAT重组蛋白质的酶切效率和¹⁸O标记效率,并对QconCAT蛋白质结合¹⁸O标记-同位素稀释-多反应监测质谱方法进行了评价。实验结果表明,采用该方法对腾冲嗜热厌氧菌(Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis, TTE)中选定蛋白质的肽段进行绝对含量测定时,相对标准偏差小于20%,准确度较高,说明该方法可用于复杂生物样本中蛋白质的绝对定量。更重要的是所建方法不仅解决了细胞培养氨基酸稳定同位素标记(SILAC)技术的重标试剂价格昂贵的问题,也为定量蛋白质组学提供了一种新的方法。

Zethrene and Dibenzozethrene: Masked Biradical Molecules?

The syntheses, structures, and physical properties of dibenzozethrenes were explored. The results thus obtained were compared with those for zethrenes. Dibenzozethrenes were synthesized by the nickel‐catalyzed cyclodimerization of 9‐ethynyl‐1‐iodoanthracenes. The substituents in zethrene and dibenzozethrene twisted their backbones, and remarkably influenced their properties. Unlike closed‐shell disubstituted derivatives, the parent zethrene and dibenzozethrene are singlet open‐shell biradicals, which were studied by variable‐temperature ¹H NMR, ESR, SQUID and computational methods. Since substituents were observed to affect significantly the biradical properties, the relevant mechanisms were analyzed. The nonlinear optical performance of each of these compounds depends on its π‐conjugation and biradical properties. Dibenzozethrenes have larger two‐photon absorption cross‐sections than zethrenes, as most strongly evidenced by the parent dibenzothrene [σ_max=4323 GM at 530 nm].

The effect of tourmaline on cell membrane of nitrosomonas europaea and biodegradation of micropollutant

As a kind of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria, Nitrosomonas europaea (N. europaea) was chosen as a research model to study the alteration of cell membrane in the presence of tourmaline and biodegradation of acetochlor. atomic force microscopy images reveal that the presence of tourmaline substantially changes the structure of the outer membrane of the cell responsible for the cell permeability. SEM images show that the introduction of tourmaline makes the cell lose its ability to resist lysozyme owing to the damages. The fluorescence polarization has shown a significant decrease in membrane fluidity and the increase of permeability of cell membrane. Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and was found in the supernatant from the cells treated by tourmaline. Tourmaline can improve the efficiency of biodegradation of acetochlor for N. europaea. It is proposed that the cell permeability is slightly increased, and the absorbability of nutrition from the medium becomes easier. As a result, N. europaea grows faster in the presence of tourmaline than the native cells. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A simple fabrication method for tapered capillary tip and its applications in high‐speed CE and ESI‐MS

Fabrication of capillaries with tapered tips is an important technique that is required in many analytical chemistry areas, such as ESI‐MS, CE, electrochemical analysis, and microinjection. This paper describes a simple and effective grinding‐based fabrication method for capillaries with tapered tips. A novel grinding mode utilizing the combination of rotation and precession of an elastic capillary was developed, which significantly improved the controllability to the grinding process as well as the capillary tip shape. The capillary was fabricated by fixing it in an electric drill installed perpendicularly, and grind the capillary tip rotated around its own axis as well as the drill axis on sandpapers. Compared with conventional fabrication techniques for capillary tips, the present method is easy to control the capillary tip shape in routine laboratories without the requirement of expensive equipments or poisonous reagent (e.g. hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution). Various capillaries with different tip diameters and tip taper angles could be fabricated using the present method with good controllability and reproducibility. These capillaries were applied in high‐speed CE and ESI‐MS analysis to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of this fabrication method.

Two novel lignans, gymnothespirolignans A (1) and B (2), possessing a rare polycyclic spiro skeleton, were isolated from the endemic plant of Gymnotheca involucrata Pei. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic evidences and the absolute configurations were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed promising antiviral activities against RSV with an IC₅₀ value of 31.87 and 17.51 μM, respectively.
