A concise total synthesis of PDE-I and -II featuring copper-mediated double aryl amination with the combination of CuI, CsOAc, and Cs2CO3 is described. The highly substituted pyrroloindole skeleton was constructed by a one-pot five-step sequence including double aryl amination, β-elimination, deprotection of a Cbz group, and unexpected formation of an indole via removal of an Ns group followed by rearomatization. The undesired elimination of the protecting group (Ns group) was hampered by using the Boc group as a protecting group in the second-generation synthesis, which excluded the reduction of the indole required in the first-generation synthesis. 相似文献
To discover peptide ligands that bind to a target protein with a higher molecular mass, a concise screening methodology has been established, by applying a “plug–plug” technique to ACE experiments. Exploratory experiments using three mixed peptides, mastoparan‐X, β‐endorphin, and oxytocin, as candidates for calmodulin‐binding ligands, revealed that the technique not only reduces the consumption of the protein sample, but also increases the flexibility of the experimental conditions, by allowing the use of MS detection in the ACE experiments. With the plug–plug technique, the ACE–MS screening methodology successfully selected calmodulin‐binding peptides from a random library with diverse constituents, such as protease digests of BSA. Three peptides with Kd values between 8–147 μM for calmodulin were obtained from a Glu‐C endoprotease digest of reduced BSA, although the digest showed more than 70 peaks in its ACE–MS electropherogram. The method established here will be quite useful for the screening of peptide ligands, which have only low affinities due to their flexible chain structures but could potentially provide primary information for designing inhibitors against the target protein. 相似文献
Porous films of p‐type CuInS2, prepared by sulfurization of electrodeposited metals, are surface‐modified with thin layers of CdS and TiO2. This specific porous electrode evolved H2 from photoelectrochemical water reduction under simulated sunlight. Modification with thin n‐type CdS and TiO2 layers significantly increased the cathodic photocurrent and onset potential through the formation of a p–n junction on the surface. The modified photocathodes showed a relatively high efficiency and stable H2 production under the present reaction conditions. 相似文献
The development and manufacture of an adsorbent to remove phosphate ion for the prevention of eutrophication in lakes are very important. The characteristics of phosphate adsorption onto aluminum oxide hydroxide were investigated to estimate the adsorption isotherms, the rate of adsorption, and the selectivity of adsorption. Phosphate was easily adsorbed onto aluminum oxide hydroxide, because of the hydroxyl groups. The adsorption of phosphate onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was influenced by pH in solution: the amount adsorbed was greatest at pH 4, ranging with pH from 2 to 9. The optimum pH for phosphate removal by aluminum oxide hydroxide is 4. The selectivity of phosphate adsorption onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was evaluated based on the amount of phosphate ion adsorbed onto aluminum oxide hydroxide from several anion complex solutions. It is phosphate that aluminum oxide hydroxide can selectively adsorb. The selectivity of phosphate onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was about 7000 times that of chloride. This result indicated that the hydroxyl groups on aluminum oxide hydroxide have selective adsorptivity for phosphate and could be used for the removal of phosphate from seawater. 相似文献
We study reflection diffuse optical tomography using two-dimensional (2D) continuous-wave source-detector arrays on the surface
of semi-infinite medium, aiming at imaging the perfusion and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation variation of human cerebral
cortex with brain activation. We had previously formulated the inverse problem with Moore-Penrose inversion. When we use simple
regularization in this inverse problem, the reconstruction sensitivity decreases markedly with the depth so that the signal
in the deep range may be masked by an unwanted signal in the shallow range. In this paper, we propose a depth-adaptive regularized
reconstruction, in which we assign a smaller regularization parameter with the depth. We demonstrate improvement of the three-dimensional
(3D) reconstruction uniformity using the proposed scheme. 相似文献
Methylenecyclopropanes carrying a hydroxymethyl group at the ring underwent stereoselective allylindation with allylindium sesquiiodide to afford the allylated products, in which the allyl group was delivered at the external sp2 carbon via cyclopropylindium intermediates. The reaction of ethyl 2-cyclopropylideneacetate and triallylindium afforded the 1,4-adduct along with dimeric products. 相似文献
In our photo‐induced immobilization technique for an antibody (IgG) using azopolymers, the introduction of COOH and NMe2 into the azopolymers, which can introduce surface charges, strongly affected the immobilization properties such as the efficiency of immobilization and the activity of the immobilized IgG (i.e., the orientation of the immobilized IgG). The introduction of COOH promoted a more active orientation of the immobilized IgG. The orientation was determined during the adsorption process onto the azopolymer surface in solution before photo‐immobilization, and was maintained during the photo‐immobilization. The surface charge of the azopolymer appears to be an important factor for IgG orientation, which involves electrostatic interactions between its Fab and the azopolymer surface.
The purpose of this article is to study an existence of p-bases and mainly to give some regularity criteria for semilocal rings essentially of finite type over fields. 相似文献
Spectrophotometric determination of titanium(IV) was accomplished with o-carboxyphenylfluorone (OCPF) in the presence of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (HTAC) under strongly acidic media. In the determination of titanium(IV), Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 24-340 ng mL−1 with an effective molar absorption coefficient (at 530 nm) and relative standard deviation of 2.24 × 105 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 0.64% (n = 8), respectively. The severe interference of iron ions was easily eliminated by the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); the effects of other foreign substances were low. Equilibrium and kinetic studies under analytical conditions were investigated to quantitatively evaluate the reaction mechanism. The obtained orange complex is considered to be Ti(OCPF)4. Its stability log Kf and rate constant Kobs are 16.88 and 1.65 × 10−2 s−1, respectively. It is suggested that the color of the complex is related to the species of OCPF in the solution. 相似文献
