The interactions of caffeine and theophylline with divalent cadmium, mercury, strontium and barium ions were studied in aqueous solution and physiological pH. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and absorption spectra were used to determine the cation binding mode and association constants. Spectroscopic results showed that Cd(2+), Hg(2+), Sr(2+) and Ba(2+) bind strongly to caffeine and theophylline. Direct and indirect (through metal hydration shell) interactions were observed for caffeine and theophylline with Cd(2+), Hg(2+), Sr(2+) and Ba(2+) through O6 and N9 (caffeine) and O6, N9 and N7 atoms (theophylline). The overall binding constants are:k(Cd-caffeine) = 1.24 x 10(5) M(-1), k(Hg-caffeine) = 1.74 x 10(5) M(-1), k(Sr- caffeine) = 3.3 x 10(4) M(-1), k(Ba-caffeine) = 1.8 x 10(4) M(-1), k(Cd-theophylline) = 5.75 x 10(5) M(-1), k(Hg-theophylline) = 2.14 x 10(5) M(-1), k(Sr-theophylline) = 4.6 x 10(4) M(-1), k(Ba-theophylline) = 3 x 10(4) M(-1). These k values are evidence for weak and strong cation interactions in these metal complexes. 相似文献

Coil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl(2) solution upon cooling were studied using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, I(tr) was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h) and (h-d) transition temperatures (T(ch) and T(hd)) and activation energies (DeltaE(ch) and DeltaE(hd)). An extra dimer-to-dimer (d-d) transition was also observed during cooling at low temperature region. However, upon heating dimers disappear to double helices by making dimer-to-double helix (d-h) transition. Further heating resulted double helix-to-coil (h-c) transition at high temperature region. T(dh) and T(ch) temperatures and DeltaE(dh) and DeltaE(hc) activation energies were also determined. It was observed that T(hc) and T(ch) temperatures and DeltaE(dh) and DeltaE(hd) activation energies do not effected by carrageenan content. However, T(hd), T(dh) and T(dd) temperatures and DeltaE(ch) and DeltaE(hc) activation energies were found to be strongly correlated to the carrageenan content in the system. 相似文献

Barley alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (BASI) is a beta-trefoil fold protein related to soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) and inhibits barley alpha-amylase isozyme 2 (AMY2), which is de novo synthesized in the seed during germination. Recombinant BASI was produced in Escherichia coli in an untagged form (untagged rBASI), in two His(6)-tag forms (His(6)-rBASI and His(6)-Xa-rBASI), and in an intein-CBD-tagged form (rBASI (intein)). The yields per liter culture after purification were (i) 25 mgl(-1) His(6)-rBASI; (ii) 6 mgl(-1) rBASI purified after cleavage of His(6)-Xa-rBASI by Factor Xa; (iii) 3 mgl(-1) untagged rBASI; and (iv) 0.2 mgl(-1) rBASI after a chitin-column and autohydrolysis of the rBASI-intein-CBD. In Pichia pastoris, rBASI was secreted at 0.1 mgl(-1). The recombinant BASI forms and natural seed BASI (sBASI) all had an identical isoelectric point of 7.2 and a mass of 19,879 Da, as determined by mass spectrometry. The fold of rBASI from the different preparations was confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopy and rBASI (intein), His(6)-rBASI, and sBASI inhibited AMY2 catalyzed starch hydrolysis with K(i) of 0.10, 0.06, and 0.09 nM, respectively. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of the formation of AMY2/rBASI (intein) gave k(on)=1.3x10(5)M(-1)s(-1), k(off)=1.4x10(-4)s(-1), and K(D)=1.1 nM, and of the savinase-His(6)-rBASI complex k(on)=21.0x10(4)M(-1)s(-1), k(off)=53.0x10(-4)s(-1), and K(D)=25.0 nM, in agreement with sBASI values. K(i) was 77 and 65 nM for inhibition of savinase activity by His(6)-rBASI and sBASI, respectively. 相似文献

Based upon extensive density functional theory and wave function theory calculations performed in this work, we predict the existence of the perfectly planar triangle C(3h) B(6)H(3)(+) (1, (1)A') and the double-chain stripe C(2h) B(8)H(2) (9, (1)A(g)) which are the ground states of the systems and the inorganic analogues of cyclopropene cation D(3h) C(3)H (3) (+) and cyclobutadiene D(2h) C(4)H(4), respectively. Detailed adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP) analyses indicate that C(3h) B(6)H (3) (+) is π plus σ doubly aromatic with two delocalized π-electrons and six delocalized σ-electrons formally conforming to the 4n + 2 aromatic rule, while C(2h) B(8)H(2) is π antiaromatic and σ aromatic with four delocalized π-electrons and ten delocalized σ-electrons. The perfectly planar C(2h) B(8)H(4) (5, (1)A(g)) also proves to be π antiaromatic analogous to D(2h) C(4)H(4), but it appears to be a local minimum about 50 kJ mol(-1) less stable than the three dimensional C(s) B(8)H(4)(6, (1)A'). AdNDP, nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) and electron localization function (ELF) analyses indicate that these boron hydride clusters form islands of both σ- and π-aromaticities and are overall aromatic in nature in ELF aromatic criteria. 相似文献

Vacuolar-type rotary H(+)-ATPase/synthase (V(o)V(1)) from Thermus thermophilus, composed of nine subunits, A, B, D, F, C, E, G, I, and L, has been reconstituted from individually isolated V(1) (A(3)B(3)D(1)F(1)) and V(o) (C(1)E(2)G(2)I(1)L(12)) subcomplexes in vitro. A(3)B(3)D and A(3)B(3) also reconstituted with V(o), resulting in a holoenzyme-like complexes. However, A(3)B(3)D-V(o) and A(3)B(3)-V(o) did not show ATP synthesis and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase activity. The reconstitution process was monitored in real time by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between an acceptor dye attached to subunit F or D in V(1) or A(3)B(3)D and a donor dye attached to subunit C in V(o). The estimated dissociation constants K(d) for V(o)V(1) and A(3)B(3)D-V(o) were ~0.3 and ~1 nm at 25 °C, respectively. These results suggest that the A(3)B(3) domain tightly associated with the two EG peripheral stalks of V(o), even in the absence of the central shaft subunits. In addition, F subunit is essential for coupling of ATP hydrolysis and proton translocation and has a key role in the stability of whole complex. However, the contribution of the F subunit to the association of A(3)B(3) with V(o) is much lower than that of the EG peripheral stalks. 相似文献

Higher water use efficiency (WUE) in C(4) plants may allow for greater xylem safety because transpiration rates are reduced. To evaluate this hypothesis, stem hydraulics and anatomy were compared in 16 C(3), C(3)-C(4) intermediate, C(4)-like and C(4) species in the genus Flaveria. The C(3) species had the highest leaf-specific conductivity (K(L)) compared with intermediate and C(4) species, with the perennial C(4) and C(4)-like species having the lowest K(L) values. Xylem-specific conductivity (K(S)) was generally highest in the C(3) species and lower in intermediate and C(4) species. Xylem vessels were shorter, narrower and more frequent in C(3)-C(4) intermediate, C(4)-like and C(4) species compared with C(3) species. WUE values were approximately double in the C(4)-like and C(4) species relative to the C(3)-C(4) and C(3) species. C(4)-like photosynthesis arose independently at least twice in Flaveria, and the trends in WUE and K(L) were consistent in both lineages. These correlated changes in WUE and K(L) indicate WUE increase promoted K(L) decline during C(4) evolution; however, any involvement of WUE comes late in the evolutionary sequence. C(3)-C(4) species exhibited reduced K(L) but little change in WUE compared to C(3) species, indicating that some reduction in hydraulic efficiency preceded increases in WUE. 相似文献

The purified glucoamylase of the thermophilic mold Thermomucor indicae-seudaticaehad a molecular mass of 42 kDa with a pI of 8.2. It is a glycoprotein with 9-10.5% carbohydrate content, which acted optimally at 60 degrees C and pH 7.0, with a t(1/2) of 12 h at 60 degrees C and 7 h at 80 degrees C. Its experimental activation energy was 43 KJ mol(-1) with temperature quotient (Q(10)) of 1.35, while the values predicted by response surface methodology (RSM) were 43 KJ mol(-1) and 1.28, respectively. The enzyme hydrolyzed soluble starch at 50 degrees C (K(m) 0.50 mg mL(-1) and V(max) 109 micromol mg(-1) protein min(-1)) and at 60 degrees C (K(m) 0.40 and V(max) 143 micromol mg(-1) protein min(-1)). The experimental K(m) and V(max) values are in agreement with the predicted values at 50 degrees C (K(m) 0.45 mg mL(-1) and V(max) 111.11 micromol mg(-1) protein min(-1)) and at 60 degrees C (K(m) 0.36 mg mL(-1)and V(max) 142.85 micromol mg(-1) protein min(-1)). An Arrhenius plot indicated thermal activation up to 60 degrees C, and thereafter, inactivation. The enzyme was strongly stimulated by Co(2+), Fe(2+), Ag(2+), and Ca(2+), slightly stimulated by Cu(2+) and Mg(2+), and inhibited by Hg(2+), Zn(2+), Ni(2+), and Mn(2+). Among additives, dextran and trehalose slightly enhanced the activity. Glucoamylase activity was inhibited by EDTA, beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and n-bromosuccinimide, and n-ethylmaleimide inhibited its activity completely. This suggested the involvement of tryptophan and cysteine in catalytic activity and the critical role of disulfide linkages in maintaining the conformation of the enzyme. The enzyme hydrolyzed around 82% of soluble starch and 65% of raw starch (K(m) 2.4 mg mL(-1), V(max) 50 micromol mg(-1) protein min(-1)), and it was remarkably insensitive to glucose, suggesting its applicability in starch saccharification. 相似文献

We utilize electrophoresis and find that a thermally treated equimolar mixture of the oligonucleotide d(G(5)T(5)) and its complementary oligonucleotide d(A(5)C(5)) exhibits either two bands or a single band in one lane, depending on the conditions of the incubation solutions. The thermally treated d(G(5)T(5)) solution loaded in a different lane exhibits a single band of the parallel quadruplex [d(G(5)T(5))](4), which is composed of homocyclic hydrogen-bonded G(4) and T(4) tetrads previously proposed. For the thermally treated equimolar mixture of d(G(5)T(5)) and d(A(5)C(5)), the fast band is assigned to a Watson-Crick d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5)) duplex, so that the slow band with the same low mobility as that of [d(G(5)T(5))](4) may be assigned to either [d(G(5)T(5))](4) itself or a [d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5))](2) quadruplex. If the latter compound is true, this may be the antiparallel quadruplex composed of the heterocyclic hydrogen-bonded G-C-G-C and T-A-T-A tetrads proposed previously. After removing these three bands for the duplex and two kinds of hypothetical quadruplexes, we electrophoretically elute the corresponding compounds in the same electrophoresis buffer using an electroeluter. The eluted compounds are ascertained to be stable by electrophoresis. The circular dichroism (CD) and UV absorption spectra measured for the three isolated compounds are found to be clearly different. For the electrophoretic elution of the hypothetical [d(G(5)T(5))](4) quadruplex, the result of the molecularity of n = 4 obtained from the CD melting curve analysis provides further support for the formation of the parallel [d(G(5)T(5))](4) quadruplex already proposed. For the thermally treated equimolar mixture of d(G(5)T(5)) and d(C(5)A(5)), the fast band with a molecularity of n = 2 corresponds to the Watson-Crick duplex, d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5)). The slow band with a molecularity of n = 4 indicates the antiparallel quadruplex [d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5))](2), whose observed CD and UV spectra are different from those of [d(G(5)T(5))](4). By electrophoresis, after reannealing the eluted compound [d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5))](2), a distinct photograph showing the band splitting of this quadruplex band into the lower duplex and upper quadruplex bands is not possible; but by a transilluminator, we occasionally observe this band splitting with the naked eye. The linear response polarizability tensor calculations for the thus determined structures of the [d(G(5)T(5))](4) quadruplex, the McGavin-like [d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5))](2) quadruplex, and the Watson-Crick d(G(5)T(5)). d(A(5)C(5)) duplex are found to qualitatively predict the observed CD and UV spectra. 相似文献

The N-terminal 1-34 segment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is fully active in vitro and in vivo and it can reproduce all biological responses in bone characteristic of the native intact PTH. Recent studies have demonstrated that N-terminal fragments presenting the principal activating domain such as PTH(1-11) and PTH(1-14) with helicity-enhancing substitutions yield potent analogues with PTH(1-34)-like activity. To further investigate the role of alpha-helicity on biological potency, we designed and synthesized by solid-phase methodology the following hPTH(1-11) analogues substituted at positions 1 and/or 3 by the sterically hindered and helix-promoting C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids alpha-amino isobutyric acid (Aib), 1-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac(5)c) and 1-aminocyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac(6)c): Ac(5)c-V-Aib-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (I); Aib-V-Ac(5)c-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (II); Ac(6)c-V-Aib-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (III); Aib-V-Ac(6)c-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (IV); Aib-V-Aib-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (V); S-V-Aib-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (VI), S-V-Ac(5)c-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (VII); Ac(5)c-V-S-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (VIII); Ac(6)c-V-S-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (IX); Ac(5)c-V-Ac(5)c-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (X); Ac(6)c-V-Ac(6)c-E-I-Q-L-M-H-Q-R-NH(2) (XI). All analogues were biologically evaluated and conformationally characterized in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) solution by circular dichroism (CD). Analogues I-V, which cover the full range of biological activity observed in the present study, were further conformationally characterized in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computer simulations studies. The results of ligand-stimulated cAMP accumulation experiments indicated that analogues I and II are active, analogues III, VI and VII are very weakly active and analogues IV, V, VIII-XI are inactive. The most potent analogue, I exhibits biological activity 3500-fold higher than that of the native PTH(1-11) and only 15-fold weaker than that of the native sequence hPTH(1-34). Remarkably, the two most potent analogues, I and II, and the very weakly active analogues, VI and VII, exhibit similar helix contents. These results indicate that the presence of a stable N-terminal helical sequence is an important but not sufficient condition for biological activity. 相似文献

The purposes of this study were to (a) determine if the mathematical model used to estimate the physical working capacity at the oxygen consumption threshold (PWC(VO(2))) and physical working capacity at the heart rate threshold (PWC(HRT)) for cycle ergometry could be applied to treadmill running; (b) propose new fatigue thresholds called the running velocity at the oxygen uptake threshold (RV(VO(2))) and running velocity at the heart rate threshold (RV(HRT)) for treadmill exercise; and (c) statistically compare the velocities at the RV(VO(2)), RV(HRT), and ventilatory threshold (VT). Seven aerobically trained adult volunteers (mean +/- SD: age 24.0 +/- 3.9 years, Vo(2) max 56.7 +/- 7.1 ml.kg(-1).min(-1)) performed a maximal treadmill test to determine Vo(2) peak and VT as well as four 8-minute submaximal workbouts for the determination of RV(VO(2)) and RV(HRT). One-way repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that there were no significant (p > 0.05) mean differences among the running velocities for the RV(VO(2)), RV(HRT), and VT. The results of this study indicated that the mathematical model used to estimate PWC(VO(2)) and PWC(HRT) for cycle ergometry could be applied to treadmill running. Furthermore, the RV(VO(2)) and RV(HRT) test may provide submaximal techniques for estimating the VT. 相似文献

C(4)-type photosynthesis is known to vary with growth and measurement temperatures. In an attempt to quantify its variability with measurement temperature, the photosynthetic parameters - the maximum catalytic rate of the enzyme ribulose 1.5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) (V(cmax)), the maximum catalytic rate of the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) (V(pmax)) and the maximum electron transport rate (J(max)) - were examined. Maize plants were grown in climatic-controlled phytotrons, and the curves of net photosynthesis (A(n)) versus intercellular air space CO(2) concentrations (C(i)), and A(n) versus photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) were determined over a temperature range of 15-40 degrees C. Values of V(cmax), V(pmax) and J(max) were computed by inversion of the von Caemmerer & Furbank photosynthesis model. Values of V(pmax) and J(max) obtained at 25 degrees C conform to values found in the literature. Parameters for an Arrhenius equation that best fits the calculated values of V(cmax), V(pmax) and J(max) are then proposed. These parameters should be further tested with C(4) plants for validation. Other model key parameters such as the mesophyll cell conductance to CO(2) (g(i)), the bundle sheath cells conductance to CO(2) (g(bs)) and Michaelis-Menten constants for CO(2) and O(2) (K(c), K(p) and K(o)) also vary with temperature and should be better parameterized. 相似文献

Eight liver biopsy specimens from five patients with PAS-negative intracisternal hyalin were investigated by immunofluorescence for: (1) immunoglobulins (Ig) G, A, M, D, E; (2) light chains (kappa and lambda); (3) complement components C1q, C4, C3c, C5, C9; (4) C1-inactivator; (5) C3-activator; (6) alpha 1-antitrypsin; (7) alpha 1-antichymotrypsin; (8) plasminogen; (9) fibrinogen; (10) fibrinogen breakdown products D and E; (11) fibronectin; (12) prealbumin; (13) albumin; (14) betalipoprotein; (15) apolipoprotein; (16) alpha 1- and alpha 2-glycoprotein; (17) cholinesterase; (18) ceruloplasmin; (19) haemopexin; (20) myoglobin; (21) placenta lactogen; (22) transferrin; (23) actin; (24) myosin; (25) cathepsin D; and (26) hepatitis B surface and core antigens (HBsAg and HBcAg). The globules reacted significantly with antisera against C3c (three patients), C4 (three patients), C3-activator (one patient) and fibrinogen (two patients). The cause of the protein accumulation is not clear. Serial studies indicate the possibility of a disturbance of protein secretion and an as yet unidentified immune complex disorder. 相似文献

Methanobactin (mb) is a novel chromopeptide that appears to function as the extracellular component of a copper acquisition system in methanotrophic bacteria. To examine this potential physiological role, and to distinguish it from iron binding siderophores, the spectral (UV–visible absorption, circular dichroism, fluorescence, and X-ray photoelectron) and thermodynamic properties of metal binding by mb were examined. In the absence of Cu(II) or Cu(I), mb will bind Ag(I), Au(III), Co(II), Cd(II), Fe(III), Hg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), U(VI), or Zn(II), but not Ba(II), Ca(II), La(II), Mg(II), and Sr(II). The results suggest metals such as Ag(I), Au(III), Hg(II), Pb(II) and possibly U(VI) are bound by a mechanism similar to Cu, whereas the coordination of Co(II), Cd(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) by mb differs from Cu(II). Consistent with its role as a copper-binding compound or chalkophore, the binding constants of all the metals examined were less than those observed with Cu(II) and copper displaced other metals except Ag(I) and Au(III) bound to mb. However, the binding of different metals by mb suggests that methanotrophic activity also may play a role in either the solubilization or immobilization of many metals in situ. 相似文献

New carbohydrate-based surfactants consisting of hydrophilic cellobiosyl and hydrophobic glucosyl residues, methyl β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside 1 (GβGαMα, G: glucopyranosyl residue, α and β: α-(1→4)- and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds, M: methyl group), 2 (G(β)G(β)M(α)), 3 (G(β)G(α)M(β)), 4 (G(β)G(β)M(β)), 5 (G(β)G(α)E(α), E: ethyl group), 6 (G(β)G(β)E(α)), 7 (G(β)G(α)E(β)), 8 (G(β)G(β)E(β)) and eight α-and β-glycoside mixtures (a mixture of 1 and 2: 1/2=62/38 (9), 32/68 (10); a mixture of 3 and 4: 3/4=69/31 (11), 32/68 (12); a mixture of 5 and 6: 5/6=62/38 (13), 33/67 (14); a mixture of 7 and 8: 7/8=59/41 (15), 29/71 (16)) were synthesized via combined methods consisting of acid-catalyzed alcoholysis of cellulose ethers and glycosylation of phenyl thio-cellobioside derivatives. Their surface activities in aqueous solution depended on their chemical structures: α- or β-(1→4) linkage between hydrophilic cellobiosyl and hydrophobic glucosyl blocks, methyl or ethyl groups of hydrophobic glucosyl block, and α- or β-linked ether group at the C-1 of hydrophobic glucosyl block. The mixing effect of α- and β-glycosides on surface activities was also investigated. As a result, ethyl β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-ethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside 7 (G(β)G(α)E(β)) had the highest surface activity, and its critical micellar concentration (CMC) and γ(CMC) (surface tension at CMC) values of compound 7 were 0.5mM (ca. 0.03wt%) and 34.5mN/m, respectively. The surface tensions of α- and β-glycoside mixtures except for compounds 9 and 10 were almost equal to those of pure compounds. The syntheses of the mixtures of α- and β-glycosides without purification process are easier than those of pure compounds. Thus, the mixtures should be more practical compounds for industrial use as a surfactant. 相似文献

A biotechnological process is described to remove hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) from high-pressure natural gas and sour gases produced in the petrochemical industry. The process operates at halo-alkaline conditions and combines an aerobic sulfide-oxidizing reactor with an anaerobic sulfate (SO(4) (2-)) and thiosulfate (S(2)O(3) (2-)) reducing reactor. The feasibility of biological H(2)S oxidation at pH around 10 and total sodium concentration of 2 mol L(-1) was studied in gas-lift bioreactors, using halo-alkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (HA-SOB). Reactor operation at different oxygen to sulfide (O(2):H(2)S) supply ratios resulted in a stable low redox potential that was directly related with the polysulfide (S(x) (2-)) and total sulfide concentration in the bioreactor. Selectivity for SO(4) (2-) formation decreased with increasing S(x) (2-) and total sulfide concentrations. At total sulfide concentrations above 0.25 mmol L(-1), selectivity for SO(4) (2-) formation approached zero and the end products of H(2)S oxidation were elemental sulfur (S(0)) and S(2)O(3) (2-). Maximum selectivity for S(0) formation (83.3+/-0.7%) during stable reactor operation was obtained at a molar O(2):H(2)S supply ratio of 0.65. Under these conditions, intermediary S(x) (2-) plays a major role in the process. Instead of dissolved sulfide (HS(-)), S(x) (2-) seemed to be the most important electron donor for HA-SOB under S(0) producing conditions. In addition, abiotic oxidation of S(x) (2-) was the main cause of undesirable formation of S(2)O(3) (2-). The observed biomass growth yield under SO(4) (2-) producing conditions was 0.86 g N mol(-1) H(2)S. When selectivity for SO(4) (2-) formation was below 5%, almost no biomass growth was observed. 相似文献

The PN(2)S N-(N-(3-diphenylphosphinopropionyl)glycyl)cysteine ligand was conjugated to methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-amino (mPEG-NH(2)) 5 and 20 kDa to yield PN(2)S(Trt)-PEG(5000) 1 and PN(2)S(Trt)-PEG(20000) 2, and then detritylated to PN(2)S-PEG(5000) 4 and PN(2)S-PEG(20000) 5. When an acidic solution of (99m)TcO(4)(-) is added to 4 or 5 in solid form, a quantitative yield in a single labeled species, (99m)Tc-labeled PN(2)S-PEG(5000) 9 and (99m)Tc-labeled PN(2)S-PEG(20000) 10, respectively, is obtained. The reaction occurs in less than 15 min at room temperature for 4 and 35 degrees C for 5. This labeling procedure avoids the use of an external reducing agent, and it is based on the amphiphilic properties of PN(2)S-PEGs. Once in water, 4 and 5 self-assemble in micelles, which catalyze the metal reduction by means of an electron pair transfer from the phosphorus to technetium. The [(99m)TcO](3+) species is then coordinated, and at micelle level, both the (P)ON(2)S and the PN(2)S coordinations are possible, as demonstrated by reacting (99m)Tc-gluconate and ReOCl(3)(PPh(3))(2) with 4 and 5 and with the oxidized analogous (P)ON(2)S-PEG(5000) 6. Compounds 9 and 10 exhibited a high stability both in vitro and in vivo. Biodistribution studies in mice also indicated that PN(2)S linking and (99m)Tc labeling do not modify PEG behavior in water and in vivo since the polymer dictates the fate of the conjugate. 相似文献

The reaction mechanism for selective oxidation of propylamine on oxygen-covered gold has been studied by the density functional theory (DFT) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with slab model. Our calculation results indicated that the adsorption energy of propylamine decreases with the increasing oxygen coverage, that is -0.38, -0.20 and -0.10 eV on clean, 2/9 monolayer (ML) and 2/3 monolayer (ML) oxygen, respectively. The adsorption energies of the intermediates also have the trend of the gradual lower. The present work also indicated that the final product distribution depends on the oxygen coverage: propylamine undergoes N-H bond and C-H bond cleavage to produce propionitrile and water at low-oxygen-coverage (θ(o)?=?2/9 ML), and to yield propionitrile, propionaldehyde and water at high-oxygen-coverage (θ(o)?=?2/3 ML). The energy barrier of the first step of propyamine oxidation (CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)NH(2)?→?CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)NH) is 0.16 eV (θ(o)?=?2/9 ML) and 0.38 eV (θ(o)?=?2/3 ML). On the second step, the barrier energy is 0.16 (θ(o)?=?2/9 ML) and 0.25 (θ(o)?=?2/3 ML) eV of CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)NH?→?CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)N, next both C-H breakage and the barrier energy is 0.20 eV (CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)N?→?CH(3)CH(2)CHN) and 0.25 eV (CH(3)CH(2)CHN?→?CH(3)CH(2)CN) on low oxygen coverage, and 0.15 eV (CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)N?→?CH(3)CH(2)CHN) and 0.26 eV(CH(3)CH(2)CHN?→?CH(3)CH(2)CN) on the high oxygen coverage. The additional reaction step of CH(3)CH(2)CHN?→?CH(3)CH(2)CHO occurs on the high oxygen coverage, and the associated barrier is 0.41 eV. The calculation results show that the oxidation of propylamine can occur at room temperature due to the lower energy barrier. Furthermore, it was found that the energy barrier for the possible reaction steps at the low oxygen coverage is generally smaller than that on high oxygen coverage, which agrees with the experimental results. 相似文献

Capacity and electric resistance of lipid membranes composed of lecithin and cholesterol were determined. The components were chosen for the study because they were present in biological membranes. Capacitance of the lecithin and cholesterol membranes amounts to 0.38 and 0.61 microF/cm(2), and resistance to 1.44(10(4)and 2.12(10(6)Omega cm(2), respectively. A 1:1 complex appears as a result of lecithin-cholesterol membrane formation. Parameters of the membrane formed of the lecithin-cholesterol complex were determined: surface concentration (Gamma(3)), capacitance (C(3)), and conductance (R;(3)(-1), as well as the stability constant (K) of the complex. The mean values of those magnitudes are as follows: 4.265(10(-6)mol/m(2), 0.54 microF/cm(2), 1.381(10(-6)Omega(-1)cm(-2)and 3.748(10(7), respectively. 相似文献
