Spectrofluorimetric determination of artemisinin with pyronine B as the substrate for horseradish peroxidase

Enzyme-catalytic fluorescence determination of artemisinin （qinghaosu, QHS） was developed using pyronine B （PB） as substrate of horseradish peroxidase （HRP）. The interaction between HRP and QHS was an enzyme-substrate model. The catalytic characteristic of HRP in the oxidation reaction, in which the fluorescence of PB was decreased in the presence of QHS, was studied. The steady-state catalytic rate depended upon enzyme and substrate concentrations, and the Michaelis-Menten parameters Km, Vmax and Kcat were 8.4×10^-5mol·L^-1, 7.4×10^-6mol·L^-1s^-1 and 50.23s^-1. The catalytic activity of enzyme was inhibited in the presence of deactivated agents and at high temperature, respectively. Under optimum conditions, linear relationship between fluorescence intensity change （F0-F） of pyronine B and concen- tration of QHS was in the range of 1.41×10^-7-1.27×10^-6mol·L^-1. The detection limit （3σ） was determined to be 2.7×10^-8mol·L^-1. The proposed method was applied to the concentration determination of QHS in the media of plasma or urine samples.

Degradation of organic matter in the sediments of Hongfeng Reservoir

In this work, the distribution of organic carbon, DNA and lipids in the sediments of Hongfeng Reservoir were described in addition to SO4^2- profile in pore water. The contents of organic carbon in the sediments range from 23.3 to 76.8 mg·g^-1, with the peak value appearing at the depth of 8 cm bellow the sediments water interface （SWI）, and tend to decrease gradually with sedimentation depth. The concentrations of SO4^2- decreased from 40.50 mg·L^-1 to 12.00 mg·L^-1 at SWI in top 4 cm sediment, and was kept at 12.0 mg·L^-1 bellow that depth. Newly produced organic carbon can be conserved as long as 14 years in the sediments. The contents of DNA were relatively high in top 9 cm surface sediments, as revealed by agarose gel images, close to those of organic carbon and sulphate reduction index （SRI）. This study shows that bacteria played an important role in organic matter degradation; SO4^2- is the primary electron acceptor under anaerobic condition in this reservoir; DNA in the lake sediments can provide important information for the study of cycling of nutrient elements in the lake.     

[Zn(bim)2]·(H2O)1.67: A metal-organic open-framework with sodalite topology

Considerable efforts have been focused on the crystal engineering of the supramolecular architectures with desired properties such as zeolitic, magnetic and electric conducting materials[1—3]. But crystal engineering is still a great challenge to the chemists since lack of control over the coordination modes of metal centers and ligands during assembly of extended structures[4]. Some successful synthetic strategies based on topologic control of building blocks have been developed especially i…

Density functional theory study of proton transfer in carbonic anhydrase

Proton transfer in carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ has been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G（D） level. The active site model consists of the zinc ion, four histidine residues, two threonine residues, and three water molecules. Our calculations showed that the proton of the zinc-bound water molecule could be transferred to the nearest water molecule and an intermediate containing H3O^＋ is then formed. The intermediate is only 1.3 kJ·mol^-1 above the reactant complex, whereas the barrier height for the proton transfer is about 8.1 kJ·mol^-1.     

Rapid solidification mechanism of Ag60Sb34Cu6 ternary alloy in drop tube

Ternary eutectic growth involves competitive nu-cleation and growth of three solids from one liquid. Thesolidification behavior of ternary eutectic alloy is morecomplex than that of binary eutectic alloy due to the addi-tion of the third component[1—4]. Up to now, most scientificinvestigations on ternary eutectic alloy focus on the influ-ence of changing the component or adding a fourth even afifth element on the performance of the alloy[5—8]. How-ever, the information on crystal growth char…     

Novel photocatalysis oxidation system UV/Fe^2＋/air to degrade 4-CP wastewater

This paper reported the degradation of 4-CP wastewater by a novel photocatalysis oxidation system-- UV/Fe^2＋/air system, in which air was used as a cheap oxidant that reacted with the excitation state of organics to form H2O2 under the UV light. The formed H2O2 reacted with the added ferrous ion to form Fenton reaction and led to the quick degradation of organic pollutants. It was found that 4-CP could be completely removed within 40 min. The degradation of 4-CP in the UV/Fe^2＋/air system was superior to the conventional UV/Fenton system （the initial concentration of H2O2 was 22 mg·L^-1）. UV/Fe^2＋/air is an effective and cheap method for treatment of the organics that can be excited by UV light.

Double Star TC-1 observation of the earthward flowing plasmoids in the near magnetotail

We analyze Double Star TC-1 magnetic field data from July to September in 2004 and find that plas-moids exist in the very near-Earth magnetotail. It is the first time that TC-1 observes the plasmoids inthe magnetotail at X > ?13 RE. According to the difference of the magnetic field structure in plasmoids,we choose two typical cases for our study: the magnetic flux rope on August 6 with the open magneticfield and the magnetic loop on September 14 with the closed magnetic field. Both of the cases are as-sociated with the high speed earthward flow and the magnetic loop is related to a strong substorm. Theions can escape from the magnetic flux rope along its open field line, but the case of the closed mag-netic loop can trap the ions. The earthward flowing plasmoids observed by TC-1 indicate that the mul-tiple X-line magnetic reconnection occurs beyond the distance of X=?10 RE from the earth.     

Keggin型铬取代杂多离子PW11O39Cr(Ⅲ)(H2O)4-的电化学性质

 用循环伏安、交流伏安和交流阻抗法详细研究了Keggin型铬取代杂多离子PW₁₁Cr(Ⅲ)O^4-₃₉(PW₁₁Cr) 的电化学性质。循环伏安扫描表明,1.0 mmol·L^-1 PW₁₁Cr的H₃PO₄-HAc-H₃BO₃ 缓冲溶液(pH2.16)在玻碳电极上有三对氧化-还原波,发生在1.30/0.631 V处的准可逆波属于Cr(Ⅲ)/Cr(Ⅴ)电对的双电子氧化-还原响应,而位于-0.553/-0.505 V和-0.782/-0.725 V处的两对可逆波则对应于W-O骨架的双电子还原-氧化响应。PW₁₁Cr三对氧化-还原波的峰电位皆与溶液的pH有关,随着溶液pH的增大,峰电位负移,峰电流降低,阴极和阳极的峰电位差增大,电极过程的可逆性降低。由第一个W O骨架还原波的峰电流与电位扫描速率平方根的关系得到PW₁₁Cr在H₃PO₄-HAc-H₃BO₃ 溶液(pH 2.16)中的扩散系数为4.4×10^-6 cm²·s^-1。交流阻抗谱表明,Cr(Ⅲ)/Cr(Ⅴ)电对的电极过程受异相电荷传递动力学控制,由相角与频率的关系得到其动力学参数k^o 为0.67 cm·s^-1;而W-O骨架的两个电极过程则受扩散控制。PW₁₁Cr的电极过程存在吸附步骤。

Special IR properties of palladium nanoparticles and their aggregations in CO molecular probe infrared spectroscopy

Dispersed Pd nanoparticles (Pdn) have been synthesized by reducing H2PdCI4 with ethanol, and stabilized using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The Pdn is applied to the glassy carbon substrate to form a thin film, and then the potential cyclic scanning at 50 mV.s^-1 from -0.25 to 1.25 V was carried out for about 30 min to form the aggregations of Pdn (Pdn^ag). FTIR spectroscopy of both transmission and reflection modes was employed to study CO adsorption on Pdn and Pdn^ag in both solidlliquid and solidlgas interfaces. It has been revealed that CO adsorption on Pdn film yields two IRbands near 1964 and 1906 cm-1, which are assigned to IR absorption of CO bonded on asymmetric and symmetric bridge sites, respectively. In contrast to the IR properties of CO adsorbed on Pdn, only species of CO bonded on asymmetric bridge sites was determined on Pdn^ag, and the direction of the IR band near 1963 cm^-1 is completely inverted. The full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the COB^as band near 1964 cm^-1 is measured to be 14 cm^-1 on Pdn film, while it is 24 cm^-1 on Pdn^ag film. The results of the present study demonstrated that the inverting of the IR band direction is a general phenomenon that is closely related to the interaction between nanoparticles in aggregation of Pdn.

Fluorescence study on the interaction between apoCopC and cupric

The interaction between apoCopC and cupric was investigated by fluorescence spectra, in phosphate （20 mmol/L） buffer at pH 6.0. Results suggest that the environment is measured to be hydrophobic completely around tryptophan （83）. At the same time, apoCopC fluorescence at 320 nm was significantly quenched with the addition of cupric and the 1：1 stoichiometric ratio of apoCopC to cupric was confirmed by fluorescence. In addition, the conditional binding constants were calculated to be Kcu-copc=（1.8±0.58）×10^13 mol^-1 L on the basis of the results of fluorescence titration curves. The apoCopC has the ability to bind specifically cupric ion.
