Novel moving reaction boundary-induced stacking and separation of human hemoglobins in slab polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

We developed a novel polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) method to stack and separate human hemoglobins (Hbs) based on the concept of moving reaction boundary (MRB). This differs from the classic isotachophoresis (ITP)-based stacking PAGE in the aspect of buffer composition, including the electrode buffer (pH 8.62 Tris–Gly), sample buffer (pH 6.78 Tris–Gly), and separation buffer (pH 8.52 Tris–Gly). In the MRB-PAGE system, a transient MRB was formed between alkaline electrode buffer and acidic sample buffer, being designed to move toward the anode. Hbs carried partial positive charges in the sample buffer due to its pH below pI values of Hbs, resulting in electromigrating to the cathode. Hbs would carry negative charges quickly when migrated into the alkaline electrode buffer and be transported to the anode until meeting the sample buffer again. Thus, Hbs were stacked within a MRB until the transient MRB reached the separation buffer and then separated by zone electrophoresis with molecular sieve effect of the gel. The experimental results demonstrated that there were three clear and sharp protein zones of Hbs (HbA_1c, HbA₀, and HbA₂) in MRB-PAGE, in contrast to only one protein zone (HbA₀) in ITP-PAGE for large-volume loading (≥15 μl), indicating high stacking efficiency, separation resolution, and good sensitivity of MRB-PAGE. In addition, MRB-PAGE was performed in a conventional slab PAGE device, requiring no special device. Thus, it could be widely used in separation and analysis of diluted protein in a standard laboratory.

Microstructure evolution and passivation quality of hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide(a-SiOx:H) on〈100〉- and 〈111〉-orientated c-Si wafers

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide(a-SiOx:H) is an attractive passivation material to suppress epitaxial growth and reduce the parasitic absorption loss in silicon heterojunction(SHJ) solar cells. In this paper, a-SiOx:H layers on different orientated c-Si substrates are fabricated. An optimal effective lifetime(τ(eff)) of 4743 μs and corresponding implied opencircuit voltage(iV(oc)) of 724 mV are obtained on〈100〉-orientated c-Si wafers. While τ(eff) of 2429 μs and iV_oc of 699 mV are achieved on 111-orientated substrate. The FTIR and XPS results indicate that the a-SiOx:H network consists of SiOx(Si-rich), Si–OH, Si–O–SiHx, SiO2 ≡ Si–Si, and O3 ≡ Si–Si. A passivation evolution mechanism is proposed to explain the different passivation results on different c-Si wafers. By modulating the a-SiOx:H layer, the planar silicon heterojunction solar cell can achieve an efficiency of 18.15%.

采用RF-PECVD技术，通过改变反应气体的硅烷浓度制备了一系列不同晶化率不掺杂的硅薄膜材料，研究了工艺变化对材料结构的影响及材料光电特性同微结构的关系.随后进行了光衰退试验，在分析光照前后光电特性变化规律的基础上，认为材料中的非晶成分是导致材料光电特性衰退的主要原因.在靠近过渡区非晶一侧的硅材料比普通非晶硅稳定，衰退率较少；高晶化率微晶硅材料性能稳定，基本不存在光衰退；在靠近过渡区微晶一侧的硅材料虽然不是完全不衰退，但相比高晶化率硅材料来说更适合制备高效微晶硅电池. 关键词： 射频等离子体增强化学气相沉积 硅薄膜 Staebler-Wronski(SW)效应 稳定性     

Metal complexes with macrocyclic ligands. Part XXXVI. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies of bivalent and trivalent metal ions with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid

NMR, potentiometric, and UV/VIS measurements were run to study the protonation and the In³⁺ and Cu²⁺ stability constants of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (do3a, L). The protonation of do3a follows the typical scheme with two high and several low log K_H values. Between pH 11 and 13, the protonation mainly occurs at the N-atom, which is not substituted by an acetate side chain. The In³⁺ complex is not appreciably protonated even at low pH values (pH ? 1.7), whereas [CuL] can add up to three protons in acidic solution to give the species [CuLH], [CuLH₂], and [CuLH₃], the stability of which was determined. The formation rates of the Y³⁺, Gd³⁺, Ga³⁺, and In³⁺ complexes with do3a were measured using a pH-stat technique, whereas that of Cu²⁺, being faster, was followed on a stopped-flow spectrophotometer. In all cases, the reaction scheme implies the rapid formation of partially protonated intermediates, which rearrange themselves to the final product in the rate-determining process. ([MLH])_in, an intermediate, in which the metal ion probably is coordinated by two amino acetate groups, proved to be the reactive species for Y³⁺, Gd³⁺, and Ga³⁺. The formation of [Cu(do3a)] was interpreted by postulating that either ([CuLH])_in or ([CuLH])_in, and ([CuLH₂])_in are the reactive complexes. The rates of dissociation of the Y³⁺, Gd³⁺, and Cu²⁺ complexes with do3a were studied spectrophotometrically. For Y³⁺ and Gd³⁺, arsenazo III was used as a scavenger, whereas for Cu²⁺ the absorption associated with d-d* transition was followed. For [Y(do3a)] and [Gd(do3a)], the rate law follows the kinetic expression k_obsd ? k₀ + k₁[H⁺]. The dissociation of [Cu(do3a)] goes through the proton-independent dissociation of [CuLH₃], which is the main species at low pH.     

Metal Complexes with Macrocylclic Ligands. Part XXXV. Stabilities of some bivalent metal-ion complexes with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1-acetie acid

The stability constants of the Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, pb²⁺, and Cd²⁺ complexes with 1,4,7-triazacylononane-1-acetic acid (noma) were determined at 25° and 0.5M (KNO₃) by potentiometric titrations. The species [ML] and [ML(OH)] were found in al cases except for Ni²⁺, whereas [ML₂] was only detected for Cd²⁺. For the complexes [ML], the order of stability is Mn²⁺ < Cd²⁺ < pb²⁺ < Zn²⁺ < Zn²⁺ < Ni²⁺ < Cu ²⁺, which is consisten with the Irvin-Williams Series.
