High acidity of polycyano azatriquinanes—theoretical prediction by the DFT calculations

It is shown by the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations that the hexacyano derivative of aza-acepentalene is an extremely powerful superacid both in the gas phase and in DMSO as evidenced by the ΔH_acid = 255.1  kcal mol⁻¹ and pK_a (DMSO) = −26.5. Its synthesis is strongly recommended, in particular, since the related conjugate base hexachloro aza-acepentalenide anion was prepared recently.     

Pharmacokinetic detection of penicillin excreted in urine using a totally internally reflected resonance light scattering technique with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

A quantitative analysis method for penicillins including ampicillin (AmP), benzyl penicillin (BP), oxacillin (OA) and amoxycillin (AmO) is proposed that makes use of the totally internally reflected resonance light scattering (TIR-RLS) signal from the penicillin at the H₂O/CCl₄ interface in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), and enables the pharmacokinetics of penicillin taken orally and excreted through urine to be monitored. Penicillin is coadsorbed with CTMAB at the H₂O/CCl₄ interface in neutral solution, resulting in the formation of ion associates that display greatly enhanced TIR-RLS signals (maximum at 368–372 nm). This enhanced TIR-RLS intensity was found to be proportional to the penicillin concentration over the range 0.2×10^–6 to 2.2×10^–6 mol L^–1, with limits of determination (3) of 5.0×10^–8 to 7.0×10^–8 mol L^–1. Pharmacokinetics studies performed using the present method show that the excretion of orally-taken ampicillin through urine has a half-time of 1.05 h and an excremental quantum over 8 h of 49.3%, respectively.

悬线式物镜力矩器中频段共振理论及实验分析

悬线式物镜力矩器是高密度光盘系统中关键部件——光学头的可执行机构,其运动特性决定着光学头的读盘能力。在光学头研制、生产及测试中发现某些力矩器频率特性曲线的线性工作区内出现共振,它会导致光学头的读碟能力下降。通过对力矩器可动部建模、ansys仿真及实验分析,得出力矩器可动部的质心和力心不重合将导致其在中频段内发生扭转共振。实验结论对悬线式物镜力矩器设计、评价和生产都有重要的指导意义。     

能量选择中子成像技术及其应用

能量选择中子成像技术是利用特定范围波长(能量)的中子进行成像。在热/冷中子范围内(<25meV),能量选择中子成像技术主要基于布拉格边效应和衍射机制,相比常规中子成像技术不但可以显著提高图像对比度,而且能分析应变、应力、织构。在超热中子范围内(>1eV),能量选择中子成像技术主要基于中子共振吸收,中子截面随能量变化是同位素特有的,存在明显的共振吸收峰,因此可以进行同位素的“指纹”识别。能量选择中子成像技术在工程、材料、化学、物理、生物、考古等众多科研领域中有着非常广阔的应用前景。

等电聚焦分离与18O稳定同位素标记联用的磷酸化蛋白质组学定量方法研究

磷酸化蛋白质组学定量分析,要对磷酸化修饰富集技术和定量技术进行研究。基于此,本研究采用18O稳定同位素标记技术对胰蛋白酶酶解肽段混合物进行标记,并对其标记时间和标记后胰蛋白酶的变性条件进行优化。结果表明:在pH=4～5的KH2PO4缓冲体系中,37℃,标记反应持续19～24h,除了C-端肽之外,几乎所有的肽段都可达到100%标记;采用TCEP可以有效地抑制16O-18O回标现象。建立了与18O标记技术兼容性良好的IPG-IEF技术对磷酸化肽段进行选择性富集,富集后共从HepG2细胞中鉴定到491个磷酸化位点、362个磷酸化肽段和356个磷酸化蛋白,表明IPG-IEF在大规模磷酸化肽段分离富集中是有效的;最后与高准确度高灵敏度高分辨率的LTQ-FTICR质谱仪联用,建立了基于18O-IPG-IEF-LTQ-FTICR的磷酸化蛋白质组定量技术。实验结果表明,该技术可以实现磷酸化肽段的有效定性和定量。本研究为磷酸化蛋白质组学定量研究提供了实用技术。     

Separation of Dihydro-Isocoumarins and Dihydro-Stilbenoids from Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. serrata by Use of Counter-Current Chromatography

Previously, different Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. serrata cultivars were investigated by untargeted LC-MS analysis. From this, a list of tentatively identified and unknown compounds that differ significantly between these cultivars was obtained. Due to the lack of reference compounds, especially for dihydro-isocoumarins, we aimed to isolate and structurally characterise these compounds from the cultivar ‘Yae-no-amacha’ using NMR and LC-MS methods. For purification and isolation, counter-current chromatography was used in combination with reversed-phase preparative HPLC as an orthogonal and enhanced purification workflow. Thirteen dihydro-isocoumarins in combination with other metabolites could be isolated and structurally identified. Particularly interesting was the clarification of dihydrostilbenoid glycosides, which were described for the first time in H. macrophylla ssp. serrata. These results will help us in further studies on the biological interpretation of our data.     

Precise Quantification of Molybdate In Vitro by the FRET-Based Nanosensor ‘MolyProbe’

Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential trace element in all kingdoms of life. Mo is bioavailable as the oxyanion molybdate and gains biological activity in eukaryotes when bound to molybdopterin, forming the molybdenum cofactor. The imbalance of molybdate homeostasis results in growth deficiencies or toxic symptoms within plants, fungi and animals. Recently, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) methods have emerged, monitoring cellular and subcellular molybdate distribution dynamics using a genetically encoded molybdate-specific FRET nanosensor, named MolyProbe. Here, we show that the MolyProbe system is a fast and reliable in vitro assay for quantitative molybdate determination. We added a Strep-TagII affinity tag to the MolyProbe protein for quick and easy purification. This MolyProbe is highly stable, resistant to freezing and can be stored for several weeks at 4 °C. Furthermore, the molybdate sensitivity of the assay peaked at low nM levels. Additionally, The MolyProbe was applied in vitro for quantitative molybdate determination in cell extracts of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the fungus Neurospora crassa and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results show the functionality of the Arabidopsis thaliana molybdate transporter MOT1.1 and indicate that FRET-based molybdate detection is an excellent tool for measuring bioavailable Mo.
