Characteristics of inclusions in topaz from Serrinha pegmatite (Medina granite,Minas Gerais State,SE Brazil) studied by Raman spectroscopy

Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province includes many topaz-bearing pegmatitic bodies. Residual melts from the Fe–K-rich alkaline Medina granite (ca. 500 Ma) formed the Serrinha pegmatite—a system of branched thin pegmatite veins hosted by pink facies of the parent granite. The colourless topaz from Serrinha pegmatite contains both mineral and fluid inclusions. Microcline (513, 476, 456 cm⁻¹), albite (507, 479, 457 cm⁻¹), topaz (926, 858, 267, 239 cm⁻¹), quartz (463 cm⁻¹), rutile (610, 444 cm⁻¹), wolframite (884 cm⁻¹) and uranophane (968, 788 cm⁻¹) represent solid inclusions formed by fluid-induced processes from the pneumatolytic (∼600–400 °C) to hydrothermal (<400 °C) stages of pegmatite crystallization. Fluid inclusions are mainly liquid or liquid-gas, which contain CO₂ (marker bands ∼1388 cm⁻¹ and ∼1285 cm⁻¹) and traces of methane (2917 cm⁻¹). They are mainly of primary and pseudo-secondary origin, indicating tectonic quiescence during and after topaz crystallization (in agreement with the post-collisional nature of the parent granite). Topaz crystallized in high temperature conditions of the pneumatolytic stage at a depth around 8.5–10.0 km.     

Study on the inclusion behavior and solid inclusion complex of 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone with cyclodextrins

The inclusion behaviors of three native or modified CDs including p-CD,2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD(2-Hp-β-CD) and 2,6-dimethyl-β-CD(Me-β-CD) toward 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone(AMBI) were comparatively investigated by NMR and fluorescence titration in combination with IR spectra,X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microphotographs.The experimental results jointly demonstrated that the phenyl ring of AMBI entered into the cavity of the CDs and located close to the narrow rims accompanied by the formation of the 1:1 inclusion complex with large stability constant in aqueous solution.The introduction of the hydroxypropyl unit to the host improved the solubility,ultimately effecting an obvious promoting in the fluorescence intensity and the stability constant

Prednisone/Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexation: Phase Solubility,Thermodynamic, Physicochemical and Computational Analysis

Guest–host interaction of prednisone (PN) with cyclodextrins (CDs) have been investigated using phase solubility diagrams (PSD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and molecular mechanical modeling (MM). Estimates of the complex formation constant (K ₁₁) show that the tendency of PN to complex with CDs follows the order: β-CD>γ-CD>HP-β-CD>α-CD. At the same pH of 7.0, β-CD forms soluble 1:1 and insoluble 1:2 PN/CD complexes (B_S-type PSDs). The thermodynamic functions for 1:1 PN/β-CD estimated at pH = 7.0 (ΔG ₁₁^o=−20.8 kJ⋅mol⁻¹) show that complexation is driven by enthalpy (−30.7 kJ⋅mol⁻¹) but retarded by entropy (ΔS ₁₁^o=−33.1 J⋅mol⁻¹⋅K⁻¹) changes. The MM modeling study indicates the formation of different isomeric 1:1 complexes with CDs. PSD, DSC, XRPD, SEM and MM studies established the formation of inclusion complexes in solution and the solid state.     

Bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-cyclodextrin)s Linked with an Aromatic Diamine as Fluorescent Sensor for the Molecular Recognition of Bile Salts

The binding behavior of three aromatic diamino-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)s (2–4) with four bile salts {cholate (CA), deoxycholate (DCA), glycocholate (GCA) and taurocholate (TCA)} has been investigated at 25 °C in a phosphate buffer (pH=7.20) by fluorescence and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that these bis(β-cyclodextrin)s act as fluorescent sensors. From the ROESY spectra, it is deduced that the phenyl moieties of bis(β-cyclodextrin)s 2–4 are partially self included in the cyclodextrin cavity, and are not expelled from the cavity upon complexation with bile guests. Owing to the cooperative host-tether-guest binding mode in which the linker and guest are co-included in the two cyclodextrin cavities, these bis(β-cyclodextrin)s significantly enhance the binding ability and selectivity as compared with the native β-cyclodextrin 1. Possessing suitable tether length, bis(β-cyclodextrin) 3 gives the highest K _S values, ranging up to 39,900 mol⋅L⁻¹, for complexation with CA. The complex stability constants are discussed from the viewpoint of multiple recognitions between host and guest.     

Electrophoretic deposition as a tool for separation of protein inclusion bodies from host bacteria in suspension

This paper shows, for the first time, that the electrophoretic deposition technique is able to selectively collect protein inclusion bodies (PBs) from the host bacteria suspensions. In the first step, zeta potential as a function of pH is carefully determined for both species involved. Based on the obtained dependencies, the pH of the mixture of PBs and bacteria is precisely adjusted and the electrophoretic experiment is carried out. We show that the efficiency of separation and the yield depends not only on the electrokinetic properties of given species but also on the electrode composition and surface morphology. The deposited species are easily removed by forced washing or reverse electric field. As a whole, the selectivity and the yields are higher than in most alternative state-of-the art techniques.     

Refolding and Purification of Yeast Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases CT Domain Expressed as Inclusion Bodies in Escherichia coli

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) is a crucial enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, by regulating the first committed step in the process. Therefore, it is a potential target for the development of new compounds against obesity or as herbicides. The cDNA encoding yeast ACCase CT domains(YCTs) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was amplified by RT-PCR and inserted into the vector PET28a(+) for bacterial expression of YCT fused to N-terminal His-tag(YCT-his6).
