Ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate: an attractive solvent for native chemical ligation of peptides

The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C₂mim][OAc]) was successfully used as alternative solvent for native chemical ligation of peptide fragments to produce model peptide LYRAXCRANK (X = G, A, L, N, Q, K, and F). The commonly used buffer system including thiol additives such as thiophenol and benzyl mercaptan can be replaced by the nontoxic ionic liquid [C₂mim][OAc]. In addition to improving the solubility of the peptides in [C₂mim][OAc], yields and rates of the ligation reactions were found to be efficiently enhanced.     

Theoretical insights into the mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 over semiconductor catalysts

Photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ is one important approach to alleviate greenhouse gas emission and energy crisis, which has gained huge attention in the past decades. However, the lack of understanding complex reaction mechanism impedes new catalysts design. It is also very difficult to understand the mechanism by using only experimental approaches. For this concern, theoretical calculations can effectively supplement the experimental deficiency and thus play an important role. Recently theoretical calculations have been performed on adsorption, migration and reduction of CO₂ molecule on the photocatalyst surface, leading to useful information that have contributed greatly to this field. This review summarizes recent advances in first-principles calculations about CO₂ photoreduction over various semiconductor photocatalysts like metal oxides, sulfides and g-C₃N₄. The methods, models, adsorption and reaction pathways have been discussed in detail. The perspective about future investigation on the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ using first principles calculations is also presented.     

Mixed Quantum Classical Reaction Rates based on the Phase Space Formulation of the Hierarchical Equations of Motion

In a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 140 , 174105 (2014)], we have shown that a mixed quantum classical (MQC) rate theory can be derived to investigate the quantum tunneling effects in the proton transfer reactions. However, the method is based on the high temperature approximation of the hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM) with the Debye-Drude spectral density, and results in a multi-state Zusman type of equation. We now extend this theory to include quantum effects of the bath degrees of freedom. By writing the full HEOM into a multidimensional partial differential equation in phase space, we can define a new reaction coordinate, and the previous method can be generalized to the full quantum regime. The validity of the new method is demonstrated by using numerical examples, including the spin-Boson model, and the double well model for proton transfer reaction. The new method is found to resolve some key problems of the previous theory based on high temperature approximation, including possible numerical instability in long time simulation and wrong rate constant at low temperatures.     

Degradation of parathion methyl by reactive sorption on the cerium oxide surface: The effect of solvent on the degradation efficiency

A simple and easily scalable “wet” procedure was used to prepare nanocrystalline cerium oxide capable of destroying the toxic organophosphate pesticide parathion methyl. The synthetic procedure consists of the direct precipitation of cerous salt with aqueous ammonia in the absence of CO₂. The prepared cerium oxide was able to decompose the organophosphate compounds both in nonpolar (e.g., heptane) and polar aprotic (e.g., acetonitrile) solvents. However, in solvents with hydrogen-bond donating ability, the –OH groups on the cerium oxide surface were solvated and inactivated. The preferential solvation model was used to express the experimental dependencies of the cerium oxide degradation efficiency on the composition of the water-acetonitrile mixture. In certain solvent systems, some empirical polarity scales, such as the alpha-scale or the Dimrodth-Richardt parameter ET(30), may be correlated with the degradation efficiency of cerium oxide.

Dynamics and optimal control in a spatially structured economic growth model with pollution diffusion and environmental taxation

In the first part of this paper we present a spatially structured dynamic economic growth model which takes into account the level of pollution and a possible taxation based on the amount of produced pollution. In the second part we analyze an optimal harvesting control problem with an objective function composed of three terms, namely the intertemporal utility of the decision maker, the space–time average of the level of pollution in the habitat, and the disutility due to the imposition of taxation.     

纤维二糖与葡萄糖催化转化制备乙二醇(英文)

选用纤维二糖作为探针分子,探索纤维素催化转化制备乙二醇过程的反应路径.分别考察了纤维二糖和葡萄糖在双组分催化剂H2WO4和Ru/C下的催化反应活性.结果表明,乙二醇不仅来自于纤维二糖水解产物葡萄糖的逆羟醛缩合作用,同时也可以来自于纤维二糖的直接逆羟醛缩合过程.而且,纤维二糖的直接逆羟醛缩合作用对糖苷键的水解也有一定的促进作用.比较发现,钨基催化剂作用下纤维二糖的逆羟醛缩合反应活性比葡萄糖要低,因此乙醇醛可以缓慢产生并在Ru/C催化剂上迅速加氢生成乙二醇.使得以纤维二糖作为原料比以葡萄糖作为原料时获得更高的乙二醇收率.
