Thiopeptides, formed by replacing the amide oxygen atom with a sp(2) sulfur atom, are useful in protein engineering and drug design because they confer resistance to enzymatic degradation and are predicted to be more rigid. This report describes our free molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water and free energy calculations on the effects of thio substitutions on the conformation of alpha-helices, 3(10)-helices, and their relative stability. The most prominent structural effect of thio substitution is the increase in the hydrogen bond distance from 2.1 A for normal peptides to 2.7 A for thiopeptides. To accommodate for the longer C[double bond]S...H-N hydrogen bond, the (phi, psi) dihedral angles of the alpha-helix changed from (-66 degrees, -42 degrees) to (-68 degrees, -38 degrees), and the rise per turn increased from 5.5 to 6.3 A. For 3(10)-helices, the (phi, psi) dihedral angles (-60 degrees, -20 degrees) and rise per turn (6.0 A) changed to (-66 degrees, -12 degrees) and 6.8 A, respectively. In terms of relative stability, the most prominent change upon thio substitution is the decrease in the free energy difference, Delta A(alpha --> 3(10)), from 14 to 3.5 kcal/mol. Therefore, normal peptides are less likely to form 3(10)-helix than are thiopeptides. Component analysis of the Delta A(alpha --> 3(10)) reviews that the entropy advantage of the 3(10)-helix for both Ac-Ala(10)-NHMe and Act-Alat(10)-NHMe is attributed to the 3(10)-helix being more flexible than the alpha-helix. Interestingly, upon thio substitution, this differential flexibility is even more apparent because the alpha-helix conformation of Act-Alat(10)-NHMe becomes more rigid due to the bulkier sulfur atom. 相似文献

Recently, we proposed a novel preparative free flow zone electrophoresis cell with extremely short residence time, which does not require external cooling (Poggel, M., Melin, T., Electrophoresis 2001, 22, 1008-1015). Within the new cell the smallest chamber dimension is not orientated perpendicular but in direction of the electric field. This alteration provides straight forward scale up opportunities. In this paper, new experimental results are reported, from which the limits of stable flow can be determined. The data suggest that not density differences but electrohydrodynamic effects are responsible for the disturbance of the laminar flow pattern, which is observed above a critical field strength. To demonstrate the efficiency of the new system, a three-component mixture consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA), myoglobin and cytochrome c is processed, resulting in relatively high recovery and purity values of the different proteins, although a complete separation is not achieved. 相似文献

We report on the first experimental observation of bright matter wave solitons for 87Rb atoms with repulsive atom-atom interaction. This counterintuitive situation arises inside a weak periodic potential, where anomalous dispersion can be realized at the Brillouin zone boundary. If the coherent atomic wave packet is prepared at the corresponding band edge, a bright soliton is formed inside the gap. The strength of our system is the precise control of preparation and real time manipulation, allowing the systematic investigation of gap solitons. 相似文献

We demonstrate the control of the dispersion of matter wave packets utilizing periodic potentials. This is analogous to the technique of dispersion management known in photon optics. Matter wave packets are realized by Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb in an optical dipole potential acting as a one-dimensional waveguide. A weak optical lattice is used to control the dispersion relation of the matter waves during the propagation of the wave packets. The dynamics are observed in position space and interpreted using the concept of effective mass. By switching from positive to negative effective mass, the dynamics can be reversed. The breakdown of the approximation of constant, as well as experimental signatures of an infinite effective mass are studied. 相似文献

We theoretically study the coupling of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms to the mechanical oscillations of a nanoscale cantilever with a magnetic tip. This is an experimentally viable hybrid quantum system which allows one to explore the interface of quantum optics and condensed matter physics. We propose an experiment where easily detectable atomic spin flips are induced by the cantilever motion. This can be used to probe thermal oscillations of the cantilever with the atoms. At low cantilever temperatures, as realized in recent experiments, the backaction of the atoms onto the cantilever is significant and the system represents a mechanical analog of cavity quantum electrodynamics. With high but realistic cantilever quality factors, the strong coupling regime can be reached, either with single atoms or collectively with Bose-Einstein condensates. We discuss an implementation on an atom chip. 相似文献

The formation of sulfuric acid (H(2)SO(4)), nitric acid (HNO(3)), acetic acid (CH(3)C(O)OH), and formic acid (HC(O))H) complexes with ammonia (NH(3)), amidogen radical (NH(2)), and imidogen radical (NH) was studied using natural bond orbital calculations. The equilibrium structures, binding energies, and harmonic frequencies were calculated for each acid-NH(x) complex using hybrid density functional (B3LYP) and second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation approximation methods with the 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. The results presented here suggest that the effect of NH(2) on the formation of new condensation nuclei will be similar to that of NH(3), but to a lesser degree and confined primarily to complexes with H(2)SO(4) and HNO(3). The NH radical is not expected to play a significant role in the formation of new atmospheric condensation nuclei. 相似文献

Herein, we report a Cu-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation using a γ-butyrolactone-derived silyl ketene acetal. Critical to the development of this work was the identification of a novel mono-picolinamide ligand with the appropriate steric and electronic properties to afford the desired products in high yield (up to 96 %) and high ee (up to 95 %). Aryl, aliphatic, and unsubstituted allylic chlorides bearing a broad range of functionality are well-tolerated. Spectroscopic studies reveal that a CuI species is likely the active catalyst, and DFT calculations suggest ligand sterics play an important role in determining Cu coordination and thus catalyst geometry. 相似文献

The procedure of hafnium determination in workplace air has been elaborated, which allows its determination at the level starting from 0.125 mg m(-3), which for a 400 1 sample corresponds to the requirement for maximal allowable concentration. The method is based on excitation of the mineralized filter containing the analyte in inductively coupled plasma. 相似文献
