Colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs) are attracting growing attention owing to significant improvements in efficiency. However, even the best depleted‐heterojunction CQDSCs currently display open‐circuit voltages (VOCs) at least 0.5 V below the voltage corresponding to the bandgap. We find that the tail of states in the conduction band of the metal oxide layer can limit the achievable device efficiency. By continuously tuning the zinc oxide conduction band position via magnesium doping, we probe this critical loss pathway in ZnO–PbSe CQDSCs and optimize the energetic position of the tail of states, thereby increasing both the VOC (from 408 mV to 608 mV) and the device efficiency. 相似文献

The stimulation of gastric acid secretion from parietal cells involves both intracellular calcium and cAMP signaling. To understand the effect of increased cAMP on parietal cell function, we engineered transgenic mice expressing cholera toxin (Ctox), an irreversible stimulator of adenylate cyclase. The parietal cell-specific H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit promoter was used to drive expression of the cholera toxin A1 subunit (CtoxA1). Transgenic lines were established and tested for Ctox expression, acid content, plasma gastrin, tissue morphology, and cellular composition of the gastric mucosa. Four lines were generated, with Ctox-7 expressing approximately 50-fold higher Ctox than the other lines. Enhanced cAMP signaling in parietal cells was confirmed by observation of hyperphosphorylation of the protein kinase A-regulated proteins LASP-1 and CREB. Basal acid content was elevated and circulating gastrin was reduced in Ctox transgenic lines. Analysis of gastric morphology revealed a progressive cellular transformation in Ctox-7. Expanded patches of mucous neck cells were observed as early as 3 mo of age, and by 15 mo, extensive mucous cell metaplasia was observed in parallel with almost complete loss of parietal and chief cells. Detection of anti-parietal cell antibodies, inflammatory cell infiltrates, and increased expression of the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma in Ctox-7 mice suggested that autoimmune destruction of the tissue caused atrophic gastritis. Thus constitutively high parietal cell cAMP results in high acid secretion and a compensatory reduction in circulating gastrin. High Ctox in parietal cells can also induce progressive changes in the cellular architecture of the gastric glands, corresponding to the development of anti-parietal cell antibodies and autoimmune gastritis. 相似文献

An amperometric biosensor based on malate quinone oxidoreductase (MQO) was developed for monitoring of the malolactic fermentation of wines. Screen-printed electrodes coupled with appropriate mediators were used as transducers for this novel biosensor. MQO was immobilized by physical entrapment in a photo-cross-linkable poly(vinyl alcohol) polymer (PVA-SbQ) on the surface of the working electrode. Several electrochemical mediators were studied in order to lower the applied potential and minimise the matrix effects. Among them, 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DPIP) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS) were chosen for further development. The working conditions (mediator concentration, applied potential and pH) were optimised for both DPIP and PMS. Detection limits for both types of biosensors were of 5 μM malic acid. Sensitivities obtained for the linear part of the calibration curve were 0.85 and 1.7 mA/M for the biosensors based on DPIP and PMS, respectively. Interferences due to non-specific oxidations were shown to be negligible when using PMS as mediator. 相似文献

Most of isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis evolved due to mutation in the katG gene encoding catalase-peroxidase. A set of new mutations, namely T1310C, G1388T, G1481A, T1553C, and A1660G, which correspond
to amino acid substitutions of L437P, R463L, G494D, I518T, and K554E, in the katG gene of the L10 clinical isolate M. tuberculosis was identified. The wild-type and mutant KatG proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) as a protein of 80 kDa based on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. The mutant
KatG protein exhibited catalase and peroxidase activities of 4.6% and 24.8% toward its wild type, respectively, and retained
19.4% isoniazid oxidation activity. The structure modelling study revealed that these C-terminal mutations might have induced
formation of a new turn, perturbing the active site environment and also generated new intramolecular interactions, which
could be unfavourable for the enzyme activities. 相似文献

Accumulating evidence has indicated the importance of sirtuins (class III histone deacetylases) in various biological processes. Their potential roles in metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases have encouraged scientists to seek potent and selective sirtuin inhibitors to investigate their biological functions with a view to eventual new therapeutic treatments. This article surveys current knowledge of sirtuin inhibitors including those discovered via high-throughput screening (HST) or via mechanism-based drug design from synthetic or natural sources. Their inhibitory affinity, selectivities, and possible inhibition mechanisms are discussed. 相似文献

Stability of organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) is a limiting factor for their commercialization and still remains a major challenge whilst power conversion efficiencies are now approaching minimum requirements. The inverted organic solar cell (iOSC) architecture shows promising potential for improving significantly the cell's working lifetime. However, when solution processed ZnO is used as electron extraction layer, an undesirable light‐soaking step is commonly required before the device reaches a non‐permanent maximum performance. This work investigates the use of Sr and Ba doped ZnO films, ZnSrO and ZnBaO, formed by sol‐gel deposition using molecular alkoxide precursor solutions, as electron extraction layers in a model iOSCs with poly [3‐hexylthiophene] (P3HT): [6, 6]‐phenyl C60 butyl acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the active layer. We show that using these ternary oxides the light‐soaking step can be circumvented by preventing a dipole forming between the oxide and the active organic layer as supported by electroabsorption spectroscopy measurements of the device built‐in field. It is suggested that Sr or Ba doping results in suppression/reduction of the oxygen adsorption at mobile oxygen vacancy sites on the metal oxide surface. Like in thin film transistor (TFT) applications, where materials like InGaZnO are rapidly becoming an important technology, the use of amorphous, mixed metal oxides allows improving the performance and stability of interfacial charge extraction layers for organic solar cells. 相似文献
