Phenol-formaldehyde resin route to the synthesis of several iron group transition metal phosphides

Abstract

A series of iron, cobalt and nickel metal phosphides of chemical formula Fe_xP, Co₂P and Ni₂P with high specific surface areas of 331.1, 294.2 and 228.0 m² g^?1, respectively, was firstly synthesized by phenol-formaldehyde resin route. It was found that the as-prepared Co₂P and Ni₂P samples synthesized using phenol-formaldehyde resin as a carbon source showed much higher BET surface areas than those prepared using other carbon sources reported before, including cinnamic strong alkali anion exchange resin, p-phenylenediamine and hexamethylenetetramine. This phenol-formaldehyde resin route was proved to be as universal as traditional H₂ reduction method.

Selective adsorption behaviors of guest molecules COR in the hexamer host networks at liquid/solid interface

Here,the selective adsorption behaviors of guest molecule COR in two hexamer host grids were investigated by means of scanning tunnelling microscope(STM).The assembled structures of small functional organic molecules TTBTA and TATBA were thermodynamically stable.Interestingly,the introduction of the guest molecule COR destroyed the original hexamer structure of TTBTA and combined with it to form a new triangular host-guest system.Different from TTBTA,the introduction of the guest molecule COR did not affect the six-membered ring structure of TATBA.Furthermore,the co-assembly structure of TTBTA/TATBA/COR was established and the guest molecule COR showed preferential adsorption to the TATBA host grid.Density functional theory(DFT) calculations had been performed to disclose the mechanism of the involved assemblies.     

Quantitative Assessment of Tip Effects in Single‐Molecule High‐Speed Atomic Force Microscopy Using DNA Origami Substrates

High‐speed atomic force microscopy (HS‐AFM) is widely employed in the investigation of dynamic biomolecular processes at a single‐molecule level. However, it remains an open and somewhat controversial question, how these processes are affected by the rapidly scanned AFM tip. While tip effects are commonly believed to be of minor importance in strongly binding systems, weaker interactions may significantly be disturbed. Herein, we quantitatively assess the role of tip effects in a strongly binding system using a DNA origami‐based single‐molecule assay. Despite its femtomolar dissociation constant, we find that HS‐AFM imaging can disrupt monodentate binding of streptavidin (SAv) to biotin (Bt) even under gentle scanning conditions. To a lesser extent, this is also observed for the much stronger bidentate SAv–Bt complex. The presented DNA origami‐based assay can be universally employed to quantify tip effects in strongly and weakly binding systems and to optimize the experimental settings for their reliable HS‐AFM imaging.

粘弹性地基上含孔隙的石墨烯增强功能梯度板的振动

为分析粘弹性地基上含孔隙的石墨烯增强功能梯度板的自由和强迫振动特性,基于三参数粘弹性地基模型及复合材料薄板理论,建立了粘弹性地基上含孔隙石墨烯增强功能梯度板的运动方程,用伽辽金法求解其固有频率和动力响应,并通过数值算例分析了粘弹性地基参数、孔隙率、孔隙类型及石墨烯纳米片分布模式、含量等因素对自由振动和动力响应的影响．结果表明,固有频率随着孔隙率的增大非单调变化,孔隙率对固有频率的影响随着地基参数、孔隙类型的不同而不同．另外,在三种孔隙类型中,上下表面层含有最少孔隙数量的板的动挠度最小,且其动挠度随着孔隙率的增大而微弱提高．

多维离子交换色谱分离和串联质谱鉴定在小鼠肝脏膜蛋白质组分析中的应用

膜蛋白质在变性剂作用下能够较充分地溶解。根据这一特点,我们试图在变性剂溶液中采用串联离子交换色谱法分离小鼠肝脏膜蛋白质。将小鼠肝脏膜蛋白质溶解于含有4 mol/L尿素,20 mmol/L三羟甲基氨基甲烷(Tris)-盐酸缓冲液(pH 9.0)中,用Q-Sepharose FF和Sephacryl S-200HR树脂组成的色谱柱结合大部分溶解的膜蛋白质,然后采用氯化钠线性梯度洗脱蛋白质,分步收集后采用十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)进一步分离洗脱组分的蛋白质。利用胶内胰蛋白酶消化技术将SDS-PAGE胶内分离的蛋白质降解为相应的肽段,然后以反相高效液相色谱分离和离子阱质谱仪鉴定肽段。根据文献报道和蛋白质的功能分类,在所鉴定的392个蛋白质中有306个可能为膜蛋白质或膜结合蛋白质。蛋白质的疏水性计算表明,GRAVY(grand average of hydropathicity)得分大于或等于0.00的蛋白质有83个。综上所述,我们有理由认为本实验方法基本符合小鼠肝脏膜蛋白质组学研究的要求。
