Direct structural observation of the alignment and elongation in lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals under shear flow

The structural characterization of the orientation and elongation under shear flow in Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals (LCLCs) molecules, Sunset Yellow FCF (SSY), was performed by in situ rheological small/wide angle X-ray scattering (Rheo-SAXS/WAXS). The X-ray measurement results clearly demonstrated that the stacked aggregates were oriented and elongated to the shear direction under shear flow. Further shear rate increase caused the enhancement in the orientation and elongation with the inter-aggregate distance constant, and then the structural change decreased implying the onset of the orientation saturation at high shear rates.     

食品色素日落黄与诱惑红荧光特性的研究

应用英国Edinburgh FLS920P型稳态和时间分辨荧光光谱仪,对日落黄与诱惑红溶液进行荧光光谱的实验测量,得到日落黄荧光峰在420 nm,诱惑红荧光峰在432 nm。进一步,应用Gaussian 09W软件构建日落黄分子与诱惑红分子的基态和激发态的几何构型,基于密度泛函理论和含时密度泛函理论,完成对两种分子基态和激发态的优化和计算。优化过程中,采用MPWK泛函和6-31g(d)基组;计算过程中,采用B3LYP泛函和6-311g(d,p)基组。考虑到溶剂效应对计算结果的影响,因此在计算过程中引入了极化连续介质模型,最后计算得到日落黄的荧光峰在435 nm,与实验所得有3.57%的相对误差;计算得到诱惑红荧光峰在443 nm,与实验所得有2.55%的相对误差,两种分子荧光峰的相对误差都在允许范围之内,说明计算合理。在分析光谱特性时,发现两种分子荧光峰的产生与分子内电荷转移有关。

Engineering of Yeast Old Yellow Enzyme OYE3 Enables Its Capability Discriminating of (E)-Citral and (Z)-Citral

The importance of yeast old yellow enzymes is increasingly recognized for direct asymmetric reduction of (E/Z)-citral to (R)-citronellal. As one of the most performing old yellow enzymes, the enzyme OYE3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C exhibited complementary enantioselectivity for the reduction of (E)-citral and (Z)-citral, resulting in lower e.e. value of (R)-citronellal in the reduction of (E/Z)-citral. To develop a novel approach for the direct synthesis of enantio-pure (R)-citronellal from the reduction of (E/Z)-citral, the enzyme OYE3 was firstly modified by semi-rational design to improve its (R)-enantioselectivity. The OYE3 variants W116A and S296F showed strict (R)-enantioselectivity in the reduction of (E)-citral, and significantly reversed the (S)-enantioselectivity in the reduction of (Z)-citral. Next, the double substitution of OYE3 led to the unique variant S296F/W116G, which exhibited strict (R)-enantioselectivity in the reduction of (E)-citral and (E/Z)-citral, but was not active on (Z)-citral. Relying on its capability discriminating (E)-citral and (Z)-citral, a new cascade reaction catalyzed by the OYE3 variant S296F/W116G and glucose dehydrogenase was developed, providing the enantio-pure (R)-citronellal and the retained (Z)-citral after complete reduction of (E)-citral.     

AlN插入层对硅衬底GaN薄膜生长的影响

利用金属有机化合物气相外延沉积技术在2inch(5.08cm)Si(111)图形衬底上生长了GaN外延薄膜,在Al组分渐变AlGaN缓冲层与GaN成核层之间引入了AlN插入层,研究了AlN插入层对GaN薄膜生长的影响。结果表明,随着AlN插入层厚度的增加,GaN外延膜(002)面与(102)面X射线衍射摇摆曲线半峰全宽明显变小,晶体质量变好,同时外延膜在放置过程中所产生的裂纹密度逐渐减小直至不产生裂纹。原因在于AlN插入层的厚度对GaN成核层的生长模式有明显影响,较厚的AlN插入层使GaN成核层倾向于岛状生长,造成后续生长的nGaN外延膜具有更多的侧向外延成分,从而降低了GaN外延膜中的位错密度,减少了GaN外延膜中的残余张应力。同时还提出了一种利用荧光显微镜观察黄带发光形貌来表征GaN成核层形貌和生长模式的新方法。

Abilities of Partial Least‐Squares (PLS‐2) Multivariate Calibration in the Analysis of Quaternary Mixture of Food Colors (E‐110, E‐122, E‐124, E‐131)

Abstract

Sunset Yellow (SY), Carmoisine (C), Ponceau 4R (P), and Patent Blue V (PB) are synthetic organic dyes which are under governmental regulations all over the world because of their toxicity and carcinogenicity.

In this study, a simple and fast analytical procedure was proposed for the simultaneous determination of food dyes (SY, C, P, and PB) in powder drinks by means the partial least‐square treatment of spectrophotometric absorbance between 450 –730 nm, taken at 10 nm intervals. The experimental calibration matrix was constructed with 27 samples. The concentration ranges considered were 2, 3, 4 µg · ml^?1 for SY, 7, 8, 9 µg · ml^?1 for C, 9, 10, 11 µg · ml^?1 for P, and 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 µg · ml^?1 for PB. The method was applied to the determination of dyes in different commercially available powder drinks. The results obtained by the application of the PLS‐2 method were statistically compared with those obtained by an HPLC method using the F and t tests. Very similar values were found by two methods. No time consuming pretreatment was needed and this method also provides rapid, accurate and economical analysis of these colors.     

离子自组装合成侧链型偶氮复合物及其聚集形态研究

用溶液聚合法制备了4-乙烯基吡啶与丙烯腈的无规共聚物(P4VP-r-AN), 采用¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, DSC和FTIR等手段确定了其结构和组成. 粘度法测得其粘均分子量为1.06×10⁴ g/mol, 由其¹H NMR 谱峰面积估算得到4-乙烯基吡啶链段的质量百分含量约为87.1%. 以质子化的4-乙烯基吡啶-丙烯腈无规共聚物(P4VP^＋-r-AN)为模板, 与酸性间胺黄(MY)在水溶液中通过离子自组装, 制备了一种侧链型偶氮复合物(P4VP-r-AN/MY). 用¹H NMR, FT-IR, DSC, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM和HRTEM&EDS(高分辨率透射电镜与X射线能谱联用)等手段研究了该复合物的聚集形态及自组装过程. 研究发现MY通过静电相互作用复合到P4VP^＋-r-AN链上并发生聚集, 使复合物分子链聚集形成尺寸为10～200 nm的球形聚集体. P4VP-r-AN/MY中, MY与P4VP-r-AN的物质的量之比为0.575. HRTEM&EDS测试结果显示P4VP-AN/MY球形聚集体中硫元素的分布接近球形, 与聚集体的形状几乎一致, 表明MY分子在该组装物中主要以球形纳米聚集体的形式存在.     

利用高光谱红边与黄边位置距离识别小麦条锈病

研究的目的是利用高光谱遥感尽可能早地识别出健康与遭受条锈病胁迫的小麦。通过人工田间诱发不同等级条锈病,在不同生育期测定感染不同严重程度条锈病的冬小麦冠层光谱及病情指数(disease index,DI)。对测定的光谱进行平滑并计算一阶微分值,并用两种方法分别提取光谱红边位置(red edge position,REP)与黄边位置(yellow edge position,YEP)：(1)一阶微分最大值法;(2)Cho and Skidmore方法。研究表明随着病情严重度的增加,REP逐渐向短波方向移动,YEP逐渐向长波方向移动,而REP-YEP则迅速的减小。分别对比分析了REP,YEP以及REP-YEP预测DI的能力,结果表明,以REP-YEP为变量的模型预测DI的精度最好,模型估测绝对误差(RMSE)仅为6.22,相对误差(relative error,RE)为14.3%,且能够提前12 d识别出健康与病害胁迫的小麦。该研究不仅可为将来利用高光谱遥感大面积监测小麦病害提供理论与技术支持,而且对精准农业的实施也具有重要意义与实际应用价值。
