分子手性的温度效应：D-丙氨酸的变温X衍射和中子衍射研究

利用X衍射（300, 270, 250 K）和中子衍射（300, 260, 250, 240 K）研究D-氨酸单晶在静态的和动力学的变温过程中的结构特征以及考证Salam预言的由D到L构型转变的可能性. 实验发现丙氨酸晶体的空间群P212121对称性没有改变. 实验结果否定了构型相变的可能，但是发现在~250 K有一个微小的、连续的对称性破缺发生. 晶体分子振动产生的环电流模型可以用来解释D-和L-丙氨酸单晶直流磁化率和天然旋光角相反的现象， 与之相关的中子衍射数据进一步揭示了变温过程中αC－H(2), N－H(1), N－H(4), N－H(6) 键长的不同变化. 中子衍射还显示了质子移动所导致的动力学无序，来源于分子内氨基和羧基形成的氢键和分子间αC－H和氨基形成的氢键，从而产生的晶格扭曲和NH³⁺的扭转. 实验结果表明Salam预言相变不是传统意义的结构相变，而是由于温度效应导致了在相变点附近分子的宇称破缺能差（PVED）增大，然后通过氨基酸分子的隧道效应扩大了宇称破缺能差的影响，这一研究为生命现象中快速的均一手性形成提供了非线性机理的合理解释.     

Molecular Basis of the Dynamic Strength of the Sialyl Lewis X—Selectin Interaction

The selectins are Ca²⁺‐dependent cell adhesion molecules that facilitate the initial attachment of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium by binding to a carbohydrate moiety as exemplified by the tetrasaccharide, sialyl Lewis X (sLeX). An important property of the selectin‐sLeX interaction is its ability to withstand the hydrodynamic force of the blood flow. Herein, we used single‐molecule dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) to identify the molecular determinants within sLeX that give rise to the dynamic properties of the selectin/sLeX interaction. Our atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements revealed that the unbinding of the selectin/sLeX complexes involves overcoming at least two activation barriers. The inner barrier, which determines the dynamic response of the complex at high forces, is governed by the interaction between the Fuc residue of sLeX and a Ca²⁺ ion chelated to the lectin domain of the selectin molecule, whereas the outer activation barrier can be attributed to interactions involving the sialic acid residue of sLeX. Due to their steep inner activation barriers, the selectin‐sLeX complexes are less sensitive to high pulling forces. Hence, besides its contribution to the bond energy, the Ca²⁺ ion also grants the selectin–sLeX complexes a tensile strength that is crucial for the selectin‐mediated rolling of leukocytes.     

Photophysical aspects of single-molecule detection by two-photon excitation with consideration of sequential pulsed illumination.

An important goal in single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is the theoretical simulation of the fluorescence signal stemming from individual molecules and its autocorrelation function. The simulation approaches developed up to now are based exclusively on continuous-wave (cw) illumination and consequently on cw-excitation. However, this approximation is no longer valid in the case of two-photon excitation, for which pulsed illumination is usually employed. We present a novel theoretical model for the simulation of the fluorescence signal of single molecules and its autocorrelation function with consideration of the time dependence of the excitation flux and thus of all illumination-dependent photoprocesses: two-photon excitation, induced emission and photobleaching. Further important characteristics of our approach are the consideration of the dependence of the photobleaching rate on illumination and the low intersystem-crossing rates of the studied coumarins. Moreover, using our approach, we can predict quantitatively the effect of the laser pulse width on the fluorescence signal of a molecule, that is, the contributions of the photobleaching and saturation effects, and thus we can calculate the optimal laser pulse width. The theoretical autocorrelation functions were fitted to the experimental data, and we could ascertain a good agreement between the resulting and the expected parameters. The most important parameter is the photobleaching constant sigma, the cross section of the transition Sn<--S1, which characterises the photostability of the molecules independent of the experimental conditions. Its value is 1.7 x 10(-23) cm2 for coumarin 153 and 5 x 10(-23) cm2 for coumarin 314.     

Strukturen ladungsgestörter oder räumlich überfüllter Moleküle. 15. Tetracyanethen-Natrium-Dimethoxyethan

Structures of Charge-Perturbed or Sterically Overcrowded Molecules. 16. Tetracyanoethylene Sodium Dimethoxyethane The Single crystal structure of [(NC)₂C? C(CN)₂?·Na⊕(H₃CO? CH₂CH₂? OCH₃)]∞ reveals two formula units within the triclinic (P1 ) unit cell. The tetracyanoethylene radical anions are arranged along parallel double layers, which are shifted relative to each other, and in between which are interspersed the sodium counter cations and their dimethoxyethane ligands. The distances within the double layers amount to 300 pm and the ones between them to 385 pm. The six-fold coordinated Na⊕ centers are surrounded by four radical anions with contact distances Na…?N between 250 and 254 pm as well as by a twofold solvent ligand with Na…?O of 238 and 241 pm. Due to the electron transfer to the acceptor molecule, its (NC)₂C-halves twist by 8° and the bond lengths of the N?C? C subunits, bent by each 3°, are shortened up to 2 pm. The structural parameters are compared to those of the analogous potassium salt [TCNE^?K^⊕DME], of the dianion , of the sodium salts [(NC)₃C^?Na^⊕]∞ as well as [(NC)₂C? C(CHCH)₂? C(CN)₂^?Na^⊕]_∞ and, in addition, are discussed based on geometry-optimized MNDO calculations.     

Titantetrafluorid – Eine überraschend einfache Kolumnarstruktur

Titanium Tetrafluoride – a Surprising Simple Column Structure For the first time single crystals of TiF₄ have been obtained by solvothermal decomposition of (O₂)₂Ti₇F₃₀ in anhydrous HF. The colourless, transparent needles crystallize orthorhombic in spacegroup Pnma–D (No. 62) with a = 2 281.1, b = 384.8, c = 956.8 pm, Z = 12. The new type of structure is dominated by isolated columns of corner-linked TiF₆-octahedra.     

Massively time-parallel,approximate simulation of loss queueing systems

A time-parallel simulation obtains parallelism by partitioning the time domain of the simulation. An approximate time-parallel simulation algorithm named GG1K is developed for acyclic networks of loss FCFSG/G/1/K queues. The GG1K algorithm requires two phases. In the first phase, a similar system (i.e. aG/G/1/ queue) is simulated using the GLM algorithm. Then the resultant trajectory is transformed into an approximateG/G/1/K trajectory in the second phase. The closeness of the approximation is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Our results show that the approximation is highly accurate except whenK is very small (e.g. 5) in certain models. The algorithm exploits unbounded parallelism and can achieve near-linear speedup when the number of arrivals simulated is sufficiently large.     

Single generator problem

Using the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of integers, we introduce a free extension of an almost periodic flow. Together with some properties of outer functions, we see that, in a certain class of ergodic Hardy spaces , , the corresponding subspaces are all singly generated. This shows the existence of maximal weak- Dirichlet algebras, different from of the disc, for which the single generator problem is settled.

     

Stationary queues with one autonomous server

Given a stationary stochastic continuous demand of service σ(θ_tω) dt with ∫ σ(ω)P(dω) < 1, we construct real stationary point processes $\text{(T}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{, n ∈}\text{Z}\text{)[T}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{< T}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{+1, lim}{}_{\mathrm{\pm \infty }}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{= ±∞]}$ such that

for a given constant D \2>0. These point processes correspond to a service discipline for which a single server services during the time intervals [T_n, T_n+1[ the demand of service accumulated during the proceding intervals [T_n?1, T_n[ and take a rest of fixed duration D.     

C1/Ag(111)体系研究 Ⅳ.氯吸附对甲醇吸附氧化的影响

运用HREELS技术对甲醇在预吸附氯的Ag(111)表面上的吸附氧化行为进行了较细致的研究.结果证明Cl对甲醇氧化的影响缘于它在Ag(111)上的吸附所引起的表面结构的改变进而改变表面氧吸附物种,从而使得甲醇氧化的中间产物发生变化.实验结果说明甲醇在Ag(111)和低暴露量氯吸附的Ag(111)表面上的氧化行为是相似的,检测到了中间产物Ⅰ和Ⅲ;在高暴露量氯吸附的Ag(111)上甲醇氧化时则产生中间产物Ⅰ、Ⅳ和甲醛物种.对上述不同的甲醇氧化行为作了分析,并指出了以前人们在考察甲醇氧化机理时只考虑原子氧作用的片面性.
