凝聚态化学研究中的动力学振动光谱理论与技术

化学变化的本质是化学键的形成与断裂。凝聚态化学的主要特征是分子内的物理与化学过程与周围环境之间的动态相互作用和动力学耦合,不仅会影响化学键形成与断裂的化学反应平衡与反应速率,还会改变化学反应的走向。动力学振动光谱技术是探测凝聚态体相中与表面上各种微观分子细节最为有力的当代谱学表征技术之一。与脉冲核磁技术类似,科学家们使用一组精心设计的激光脉冲在凝聚态体系中激发复杂的光学响应,所产生的信号中包含了比传统吸收光谱丰富得多的反应机理、分子与溶液结构、分子运动、电荷与能量传递等微观信息。近年来,各种动力学振动光谱被运用于凝聚态化学的各个领域,尤其是在溶液态和表界面态领域,获得了一系列突破性进展,并且处于不断发展的过程之中。在本文中,我们将回顾及展望动力学振动光谱技术的基本概念、实验方法和理论框架,以及它们在凝聚态及表面态化学中的重要应用。     

基于毛细管电泳的天然产物中酶抑制剂筛选研究进展

人类疾病的发生往往与体内各种酶的功能失调密切相关,因此酶一直是目前新药研发的重要靶标。天然产物是发现新药的宝贵资源,但是由于成分复杂,活性筛选一直受制于耗时费力的分离纯化过程。毛细管电泳（CE）技术由于具有样品和试剂消耗少、灵活多样的分离模式且不受样品基质干扰的特点,可以直接从粗提物开始筛选活性成分,在复杂样品活性筛选中显示出独特的优势。该文综述了近十年来CE在天然产物中酶抑制剂筛选的研究进展。其中重点介绍了CE应用于重要药物靶标,包括转移酶（激酶）、水解酶以及氧化还原酶等方面的应用,总结了用于酶抑制剂筛选的电泳分离模式和酶动力学研究,并展望了CE用于天然产物中活性成分筛选的应用前景。     

毛细管电泳-质谱联用技术及其在蛋白质组学中的应用

蛋白质组学研究在生物学、精准医学等方面发挥着重要的作用。然而研究面临的巨大挑战来自生物样品的复杂性,因此在质谱（MS）鉴定技术不断革新的同时,发展分离技术以降低样品复杂度尤为重要。毛细管电泳（CE）技术具有上样体积小、分离效率高、分离速度快等优势,其与质谱的联用在蛋白质组学研究中越来越受到关注。低流速鞘流液和无鞘流液接口的发展及商品化推动了CE-MS技术的发展。目前毛细管区带电泳（CZE）、毛细管等电聚焦（CIEF）、毛细管电色谱（CEC）等分离模式已与质谱联用,其中CZE-MS应用最广泛。目前被广泛采用的蛋白质组学研究策略主要是基于酶解肽段分离鉴定的"自下而上（bottom-up）"策略。首先,CE-MS技术对酶解肽段的检测灵敏度高达1 zmol,已成功应用于单细胞蛋白质组学;其次,毛细管电泳技术与反相液相色谱互补,为疏水性质相近的肽段（尤其是翻译后修饰肽段）的分离鉴定提供了新的途径。基于整体蛋白质分离鉴定的自上而下"top-down"策略可以直接获得更精准、更完整的蛋白质信息。CE技术在蛋白质大分子的分离方面具有分离效率高、回收率高的优势,其与质谱的联用提高了整体蛋白质的鉴定灵敏度和覆盖度。非变性质谱（native MS）是一种在近生理条件下从完整蛋白质复合物水平上进行分析的质谱技术。CE与非变性质谱联用已被尝试用于蛋白质复合体的分离鉴定。该文引用了与CE-MS和蛋白质组学应用相关的93篇文献,综述了以上介绍的CE-MS的研究进展以及在蛋白质组学分析中的应用优势,并总结和展望了其应用前景。

Multiple QSAR and molecular modelling for identification of potent human adenovirus inhibitors

This study has investigated docking-based 2D- and 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for a range of 53 hydroxybenzamide analogues as anti- Human adenoviruses (HAdVs). The best 3D-QSAR (Schrodinger, LLC, NY, 2020) and 2D-QSAR models were obtained for the training set and were found to be statistically significant, with cross-validated coefficients (q²) of 0.6775 and 0.7875, and coefficients of determination (r²) of 0.8106 and 0.8122, respectively. Our in-silico docking and virtual screening studies revealed significant higher binding affinity of dataset molecule 34 (-141.444 ​kcal/mol) and hit ZINC01088642 (-114.357 ​kcal/mol) with 4PIE protein than the standard drugs. In in-silico ADME/toxicity studies, molecule 34 and proposed hit ZINC01088642 were found safe with good intestinal absorption, aqueous solubility, medium blood–brain barrier (BBB), no eye corrosion, no skin irritancy, and non-mutagenic profiles. Molecular dynamics analysis showed good stability of complex, hit ZINC01088642 with protein, 4PIE over the simulation period of 20 ns. We believe that further experimental, as well as in-vitro investigation, will shed more lights on the identification of ZINC01088642 as a potential human adenovirus agent.     

Kinetic study on solute permeation at the interface of molecular aggregates by partial filling capillary electrophoresis

Moment analysis method using partial filling CE was developed for the kinetic study on solute permeation at the interface of spherical molecular aggregates. Moment equations for partial filling CE were developed by classifying CE systems into five categories according to the migration velocities of solute and molecular aggregate. The method was applied to the study on the dissolution of electrically neutral solutes into SDS micelles. Elution peaks were measured by partial filling CE while changing the concentration of SDS and the filling ratio of SDS micellar zone to the capillary (ϕ_M). Partition equilibrium constants (K_p) and rate constants of interfacial solute permeation of SDS micelles (k_in and k_out) were determined from the first absolute and second central moments of the elution peaks by using the moment equations. Their values were comparable irrespective of ϕ_M and were almost the same as those previously measured by complete filling CE. The positive correlation of K_p with the hydrophobicity of the solutes was explained in terms of the change in k_in and k_out. It was demonstrated that the moment analysis method using partial filling CE is effective for studying solute permeation kinetics at the interface of spherical molecular aggregates.     

Polydopamine-Assisted Rapid One-Step Immobilization of L-Arginine in Capillary as Immobilized Chiral Ligands for Enantioseparation of Dansyl Amino Acids by Chiral Ligand Exchange Capillary Electrochromatography

Herein, a novel L-arginine (L-Arg)-modified polydopamine (PDA)-coated capillary (PDA/L-Arg@capillary) was firstly fabricated via the basic amino-acid-induced PDA co-deposition strategy and employed to constitute a new chiral ligand exchange capillary electrochromatography (CLE-CEC) method for the high-performance enantioseparation of D,L-amino acids (D,L-AAs) with L-Arg as the immobilized chiral ligand coordinating with the central metal ion Zn(II) as running buffer. Assisted by hydrothermal treatment, the robust immobilization of L-Arg on the capillary inner wall could be facilely achieved within 1 h, prominently improving the synthesis efficiency and simplifying the preparation procedure. The successful preparation of PDA/L-Arg coatings in the capillary was systematically characterized and confirmed using several methods. In comparison with bare and PDA-functionalized capillaries, the enantioseparation capability of the presented CLE-CEC system was significantly enhanced. Eight D,L-AAs were completely separated and three pairs were partially separated under the optimal conditions. The prepared PDA/L-Arg@capillary showed good repeatability and stability. The potential mechanism of the greatly enhanced enantioseparation performance obtained by PDA/L-Arg@capillary was also explored. Moreover, the proposed method was further utilized for studying the enzyme kinetics of L-glutamic dehydrogenase, exhibiting its promising prospects in enzyme assays and other related applications.     

Corrosion inhibition and performance evaluation on 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), this paper evaluated the inhibition effect of four 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives named 2,5‐diphenly‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (DPTD), 2,5‐di(2‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (2‐DHPTD), 2,5‐di(3‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (3‐DHPTD), and 2,5‐di(4‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (4‐DHPTD) on silver strip corrosion in 50 mg/l sulfur–ethanol solution under room temperature. The experiments indicated that the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations, and the increasing order was (4‐DHPDT) > (3‐DHPDT) > (2‐DHPDT) > (DPDT). Quantum chemical calculation was applied to correlate inhibition performances with their electronic structural parameters of thiadiazole derivatives. Molecular dynamics simulations (DFT) were used to optimize the equilibrium configurations of the inhibitor molecules on the silver surface and to investigate the molecular structure effect on the corrosion inhibition efficiency. The efficiency order of the investigated inhibitors, which was obtained by experimental results, was verified by theoretical calculations. Contact angle (CA) analysis was also carried out, and finally confirmed the existence of the adsorbed film which prevailed in addition of thiadiazole derivatives. CA analysis indicated that the film of n‐DHPTD (n = 2,3,4) was hydrophilic, owing to two hydroxyl groups in their molecular. The adsorption of these compounds onto silver strip from 50 mg/l S‐ethanol system obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and it belongs to mixed‐type adsorption mainly dominated by chemisorption.
