Optimized Biocatalytic Synthesis of 2-Selenopyrimidine Nucleosides by Transglycosylation**

Selenium-modified nucleosides are powerful tools to study the structure and function of nucleic acids and their protein interactions. The widespread application of 2-selenopyrimidine nucleosides is currently limited by low yields in established synthetic routes. Herein, we describe the optimization of the synthesis of 2-Se-uridine and 2-Se-thymidine derivatives by thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases in transglycosylation reactions using natural uridine or thymidine as sugar donors. Reactions were performed at 60 or 80 °C and at pH 9 under hypoxic conditions to improve the solubility and stability of the 2-Se-nucleobases in aqueous media. To optimize the conversion, the reaction equilibria in analytical transglycosylation reactions were studied. The equilibrium constants of phosphorolysis of the 2-Se-pyrimidines were between 5 and 10, and therefore differ by an order of magnitude from the equilibrium constants of any other known case. Hence, the thermodynamic properties of the target nucleosides are inherently unfavorable, and this complicates their synthesis significantly. A tenfold excess of sugar donor was needed to achieve 40−48 % conversion to the target nucleoside. Scale-up of the optimized conditions provided four Se-containing nucleosides in 6–40 % isolated yield, which compares favorably to established chemical routes.

An improved enzymic method for the determination of native and modified starch

An improved method for the determination of starch by sequential hydrolysis with thermostable bacterial α-amylase and fungal amyloglucosidase is described. Glucose was determined colorimetrically by a glucose oxidase-peroxidase-chromogen system at pH 7. Native normal and waxy starches, and distarch phosphate, gave quantitative yields of glucose with a high degree of precision (coefficient of variation less than 1%). Acetylated distarch phosphate, high-amylose starch and retrograded amylose were initially treated with 1M NaOH for 30 min, then neutralised and analysed successfully as normal starch. Oxidised starch did not give a quantitative yield of glucose because of the presence of dicarboxylic groups in the polymer. For samples containing normal and waxy starch the analysis was carried out in about 4 h. The method was applied to a range of starch-containing foodstuffs and the results are reported.

High performance LDPE/thermoplastic starch blends: a sustainable alternative to pure polyethylene

Thermoplastic starch (TPS), as opposed to dry starch, is capable of flow and hence when mixed with other synthetic polymers can behave in a manner similar to conventional polymer-polymer blends. This paper presents an approach to preparing polyethylene/thermoplastic starch blends with unique properties. A one-step combined twin-screw/single screw extrusion setup is used to carry out the melt-melt mixing of the components. Glycerol is used as the starch plasticizer and its content in the TPS is varied from 29 to 40%.Under the particular one-step processing conditions used it is possible to develop continuous TPS (highly interconnected) and co-continuous polymer/TPS blend extruded ribbon which possess a high elongation at break, modulus and strength in the machine direction. The PE/TPS (55:45) blend prepared with TPS containing 36% glycerol maintains 94% of the elongation at break and 76% of the modulus of polyethylene. At a composition level of 71:29 PE/TPS for the same glycerol content, the blend retains 96% of the elongation at break and 100% of the modulus of polyethylene. These excellent properties are achieved in the absence of any interfacial modifier and despite the high levels of immiscibility in the polar-nonpolar TPS-PE system. The 55:45 blend possesses a 100% continuous or fully interconnected TPS morphology, as measured by hydrolytic extraction. This highly continuous TPS configuration within the blend should enhance its potential for environmental biodegradation. The elongation at break in the cross direction of these materials, although lower than the machine direction properties, also demonstrates ductility at high TPS concentrations. At a glycerol content of 36% in the TPS, the blends demonstrate only very low levels of sensitivity to moisture. A high degree of transparency is maintained over the entire concentration range due to the similar refractive indices of PE and TPS and the virtual absence of interfacial microvoiding.Effective control of the glycerol content, TPS concentration and processing conditions can result in a wide variety of morphological structures including spherical, fiber-like, highly continuous and co-continuous morphologies. These various blend morphologies are shown to be the determining parameters with respect to the observed mechanical properties.This material has the added benefit of containing large quantities of a renewable resource and hence represents a more sustainable alternative to pure synthetic polymers.

碘与淀粉的相互作用及在Vc分析中的应用

本文探讨了碘与淀粉的相互作用以及碘－淀粉显色体系的稳定性。结果表明：在碘量一定时，体系的吸光度随淀粉用量的增大而增大，最后趋向稳定；在淀粉量一定时，体系的吸光度随碘用量的增大而增大，最后亦趋向稳定。碘－淀粉显色体系很不稳定，吸光度随时间呈比较明显的下降趋势，但加入复合表面活性剂可以使显色体系的稳定性大大提高。在上述结果的基础上，我们建立了测定Ｖｃ的新方法，此法具有简单、快捷、试剂易得、灵敏度高以及对浑浊试液不必分离即可直接测定等优点。该法的灵敏度为０．２５μｇ／ｍｌ，对１μｇ／ｍｌ的Ｖｃ试液进行平行测定，１０次平行测定结果的相对标准偏差为８．８６％，加标回收率为９０．５％－９３．６％，用于番石榴汁饮料中Ｖｃ的测定，结果满意。
