Structure and Curie temperature of Y2Fe17-xCrx

The structures of Y2Fe17-xCrx are simulated by the ab initio potentials. The site preference of Cr atom in Y2Fe17 is evaluated and the order is determined as 4f, 12j, which is close to the experimental result. Based on the site preference behavior, the calculated parameters and the atom sites of Y-Fe-Cr system are studied. The result corresponds well to observed data. Further, the DOS of the relaxed structures are calculated and the variation in Curie temperature is explained qualitatively by the spin-fluctuation theory.

Thermoelectric properties of the AA′3B4O12-type ordered perovskite oxides

The perovskite transition-metal oxide ABO₃ has been extensively studied in various areas in solids. While the B ion determines the electronic properties, e.g., ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and superconductivity, the A site has been regarded as a “back-seat player” to change the doping level or the bandwidth. However, in the ordered perovskite oxide AA′₃B₄O₁₂, the A site order is closely related to the peculiar electronic states. In CaMn₃Mn₄O₁₂, the unusually small bandwidth justifies to extrapolate the transport data to the high-temperature limit, and in CaCu₃Ru₄O₁₂, a novel heavy-fermion state is realized through the Cu–O–Ru interaction.

Locked by Design: A Conformationally Constrained Transglutaminase Tag Enables Efficient Site‐Specific Conjugation

Based on the crystal structure of a natural protein substrate for microbial transglutaminase, an enzyme that catalyzes protein crosslinking, a recognition motif for site‐specific conjugation was rationally designed. Conformationally locked by an intramolecular disulfide bond, this structural mimic of a native conjugation site ensured efficient conjugation of a reporter cargo to the therapeutic monoclonal antibody cetuximab without erosion of its binding properties.     

Systematic investigation of sequence and structural motifs that recognize ATP

Interaction between ATP, a multifunctional and ubiquitous nucleotide, and proteins initializes phosphorylation, polypeptide synthesis and ATP hydrolysis which supplies energy for metabolism. However, current knowledge concerning the mechanisms through which ATP is recognized by proteins is incomplete, scattered, and inaccurate. We systemically investigate sequence and structural motifs of proteins that recognize ATP. We identified three novel motifs and refined the known p-loop and class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase motifs. The five motifs define five distinct ATP–protein interaction modes which concern over 5% of known protein structures. We demonstrate that although these motifs share a common GXG tripeptide they recognize ATP through different functional groups. The p-loop motif recognizes ATP through phosphates, class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase motif targets adenosine and the other three motifs recognize both phosphates and adenosine. We show that some motifs are shared by different enzyme types. Statistical tests demonstrate that the five sequence motifs are significantly associated with the nucleotide binding proteins. Large-scale test on PDB reveals that about 98% of proteins that include one of the structural motifs are confirmed to bind ATP.     

氧化钛负载脱硝催化剂的碱中毒过程：氧化钒的保留和氧化钨的牺牲

V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂目前已广泛用于电厂和工业锅炉燃烧废气脱硝,但燃烧原料煤及石油中含有的杂质元素碱金属与碱土金属元素可吸附在催化剂上,不仅会减少催化剂酸性位的数量,还会与催化活性元素结合生成惰性物种,导致催化剂失活。因此,已有许多有关钒钨钛催化剂碱中毒的研究,从催化剂的氧化还原能力、酸性位损失及表面孔结构等方面进行了讨论。但这些研究大多集中在碱中毒对活性组分V2O5的影响及中毒催化剂的活性变化,很少涉及催化剂中WO3的作用,也缺乏有关不同活性元素与钾盐反应的实验证据。本文采用过量浸渍法制备了不同钒和钨含量的钒钨钛催化剂,研究了氯化钾对其氨法选择性催化还原(NH3-SCR)活性的失活效应。利用感应耦合等离子体、N2吸附、拉曼光谱、H2程序升温还原、NH3吸附红外光谱和NH3氧化活性等手段对新鲜和中毒催化剂的性质进行了表征,特别探讨了V2O5和WO3对催化剂抗碱中毒能力的贡献。
　　催化剂活性测试结果表明, V2O5含量越高,活性温度窗口越宽,而且含有WO3的三元催化剂活性高于V2O5/TiO2二元催化剂。催化剂的BET比表面积和孔结构取决于TiO2载体,随活性组分配比变化不大,说明催化剂物理结构性质并非影响活性的主要因素。原位红外光谱及H2程序升温还原测试结果表明,随V2O5含量提高,催化剂表面Br?nsted酸性位数量及氧化还原能力提高。作为反应的主要活性物种, V2O5在碱中毒处理后变成惰性的偏钒酸钾KVO3,使催化剂中Br?nsted酸性位减少,热稳定性下降,并削弱了催化剂的氧化还原能力,因此低钒含量的催化剂容易严重中毒失活。在高钒负载量(3%)时,部分V2O5在碱中毒后得以保留,从而使催化剂保持了一定的脱硝催化活性。
　　另外, WO3能给催化剂表面提供热稳定的酸性位,虽然WO3自身的氧化还原能力差,但其能改善V2O5的分散性,从而提高V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂的活性。除此之外, WO3在催化剂碱中毒过程中还能扮演牺牲剂,与钾反应生成钨酸钾(K2WO4),即在V2O5与钾离子结合形成KVO3的同时,部分WO3也会与钾反应形成K2WO4,可以使三元催化剂保留更多的活性V物种。因此,在所研究的催化剂中,高钒负载量的V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂表现出最好的抗碱中毒能力。
　　活性影响因素分析表明,对于新鲜催化剂,其表面吸附的NH3量足够多,催化剂活性与表面酸性相关度不大,脱硝效率主要取决于催化剂的氧化还原能力。但是,对于碱中毒处理后的催化剂,其表面吸附NH3的能力大大削弱,这时脱硝效率除了受催化剂氧化还原能力影响,在很大程度上也依赖于催化剂的表面酸性。

Comparative and evolutionary studies of mammalian arylsulfatase and sterylsulfatase genes and proteins encoded on the X-chromosome

At least 19 sulfatase genes have been reported on the human genome, including four arylsulfatase (ARS) genes (ARSD; ARSE; ARSF; ARSH) and a sterylsulfatase (STS) gene located together on the X-chromosome. Bioinformatic analyses of mammalian genomes were undertaken using known human STS and ARS amino acid sequences to study the evolution of these genes and proteins encoded on eutherian and marsupial genomes. Several domain regions and key residues were conserved including signal peptides, active site residues, metal (Ca²⁺) and substrate binding sequences, transmembranes and N-glycosylation sites. Phylogenetic analyses describe the relationships and potential origins of these genes during mammalian evolution. Primate ARSH enzymes lacked signal peptide sequences which may influence their biological functions. CpG117 and CpG92 were detected within the 5′ region of the human STS and ARSD genes, respectively, and miR-205 within the 3′-UTR for the human STS gene, using bioinformatic methods A proposal is described for a primordial invertebrate STS-like gene serving as an ancestor for unequal cross over events generating the gene complex on the eutherian mammalian X-chromosome.
