Targeting of Single‐Stranded Oligonucleotides through Metal‐Induced Cyclization of Short Complementary Strands

A new strategy to cyclize short synthetic oligonucleotides on DNA or RNA target strands is described. The approach is based on metal‐templated cyclization of short synthetic oligonucleotides conjugated with two chelating 2,2′ : 6′,2′′‐terpyridine (Tpy) moieties at their 3′‐ and 5′‐ends. Cyclization after metal addition (Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺) was demonstrated by means of thermal‐denaturation experiments, MALDI‐Q‐TOF‐MS, and gel electrophoresis (PAGE). 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR Experiments were performed to analyze the association of complementary strands after metal‐mediated cyclization. Our protocol allows the efficient circularization of synthetic oligonucleotides. Thereby, the hybridization on a complementary strand was more efficient with an RNA target strand and a 2′‐O‐methylated circularized oligomer.     

Study of metal-loaded activated charcoals for the separation and determination of selenium species by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis

Conversion of adsorption properties of activated charcoal (C^∗) by metal modification towards selenite, selenate and seleno-dl-methionine (Se-Met) was studied. Several metals were included in modification studies and also a procedure was developed for the separation and independent determination of microgram quantities of these selenium species in aqueous solution. Selenium species were collected one by one from the same sample solution onto collector material by adsorbing them directly or after complex formation onto different metal-loaded activated charcoals (MgC^∗ and FeC^∗). The mass of selenium in these collectors was measured directly by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). Detection limits for all three selenium species were better than 6 μg corresponding to concentration of 60 μg/l with 0.100 l of initial sample volume.     

某些多氮杂大环的合成与应用

多氮杂大环与许多金属离子能形成稳定的络合物。由于氮原子是三价的,因而多氮杂大环比冠醚具有更有利的结构;如果再导入羧基、膦酸基以及其他的亲水基团,则可得到一系列能形成水溶性金属络合物的配体。其中某些金属(如铜、钇等)的络合物在人体生理条件下表现出很好的稳定性,结合单原抗体技术的应用,这炎络合物在医疗、诊断方面有实用性。本文简单介绍某些代表性络合物的制备方法、物理性能和可能的应用。     

Chemical modification of silica surface by immobilization of functional groups for extractive concentration of metal ions

Increased utilization of mechanically stable synthetic matrices particularly silica gel as a solid support and its surface modification either by impregnation of organic ligands directly or covalent grafting through spacer unit for extractive concentration of trace elements are highlighted in the present article. Experimental evidences for existence of surface silanol and its chemical nature have explored the idea of silica surface modification. Recent methods of development in functionalized silica synthesis by attachment of various ligands or organic reagents to the silica surface and techniques of characterization of the modified surface have been reported. Analytical applications of various modified silica surfaces, in particular, adsorption of trace elements taking separation and preconcentration into account from complex synthetic mixture as well as natural water is presented.     

Metal Oxide Film Anodes in the Electrolysis of Water or Brine

Metal (M) oxide (M: Ir, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru) together with MaO₂ and MnO₂ alone, were coated on SnO₂ films and the anode behavior was examined in 1.0 N H₂SO₄, 1.0 N NaOH and 1.0, N NaCl aqueous solutions at 25°. The results are compared with those of DSA and of metallic Pt.     

Fabrication of high performance thin films from metal fluorocomplex aqueous solution by the liquid phase deposition

The hetro-structured oxide thin films from metal fluorocomplex solution have been prepared by the liquid phase deposition (LPD) method. The Pt/Nb₂O₅ and Au/Nb₂O₅ composite films can be prepared from a mixed solution of niobium source, H₃BO₃, Pt(NH₃)₄Cl₂ and HAuCl₄ aqueous solutions under the ambient temperature and atmosphere. In the case of Au/SiO₂ composite film, (NH₄)₂SiF₆ solution is used as a mother solution. The Pt and Au ionic species are deposited in Nb₂O₅ and SiO₂ matrices. They are reduced to their metallic state after treatment above 200 °C. The size of dispersed particles can be controlled by heat treatment temperature. It is also clear that, gold nanoparticles are also found to interact with SiO₂, although the interaction is smaller than that with Nb₂O₅ showing the size of Au nanoparticles remain smaller in Nb₂O₅ that in SiO₂.
