Thermoplastic Polyamide Elastomers: Synthesis,Structures/Properties,and Applications

Thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (TPAEs) have emerged as important thermoplastic elastomer materials with significant potentials owing to their excellent low-temperature flexibility, easy processability, lightweight, good thermal stability and mechanical properties, etc. Over the last few decades, TPAEs have rapidly developed into a large variety of kinds of TPAEs. Striking advancements have been achieved in this research field. Unfortunately, there is not yet a review to summarize the progress. The present paper summarizes the major advancements dealing with TPAEs, in which synthesis, structures/properties as well as applications are introduced in detail. Moreover, current challenges and main developmental directions dealing with TPAEs are also presented. This review may motivate more interest in TPAEs, further facilitating their all-side research and more large-scale applications.     

The N-Acetylglutamate Synthase Family: Structures,Function and Mechanisms

N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) catalyzes the production of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from acetyl-CoA and l-glutamate. In microorganisms and plants, the enzyme functions in the arginine biosynthetic pathway, while in mammals, its major role is to produce the essential co-factor of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) in the urea cycle. Recent work has shown that several different genes encode enzymes that can catalyze NAG formation. A bifunctional enzyme was identified in certain bacteria, which catalyzes both NAGS and N-acetylglutamate kinase (NAGK) activities, the first two steps of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. Interestingly, these bifunctional enzymes have higher sequence similarity to vertebrate NAGS than those of the classical (mono-functional) bacterial NAGS. Solving the structures for both classical bacterial NAGS and bifunctional vertebrate-like NAGS/K has advanced our insight into the regulation and catalytic mechanisms of NAGS, and the evolutionary relationship between the two NAGS groups.     

Friction in Myocardial Anoxia Leads to Negative Excess Entropy Production,Self-Organization,and Dissipative Structures

Contraction of the heart is caused by actin filaments sliding along myosin filaments. This generates a frictional force inducing wear of the contractile apparatus. We postulated that this process could be exacerbated when the heart was submitted to severe anoxia. Anoxia induced dramatic abnormalities in the molecular properties of actin-myosin crossbridges. We applied the formalism of far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics to the left ventricular papillary muscles (LVPMs) of mammalian rat hearts which had been subjected to a prolonged anoxia (3 h). We showed that when subjected to prolonged anoxia, the heart operated far-from-equilibrium as evidenced by the non-linearity between thermodynamic force (F/T: Frictional force/Kelvin temperature) and thermodynamic flow (v0: myofilament sliding velocity). The rate of entropy production (EPR) was the product of (F/T) and v0. The excess entropy production (EEP) was equal to ∂δ2S∂t = ∂FTδvo; (S: entropy). The tribological system remained stable when EEP was positive and became unstable when EEP became negative, thus characterizing instability of the system and reflecting the occurrence of self-organization and possibly dissipative structures. After 3 h anoxia, re-oxygenation induced significant reversibility. About 20% of the myosin heads did not recover despite re-oxygenation. These results may be of importance in the context of heart transplantation where the delay between the time of sampling from the donor and the time of the graft installation in the recipient should be as short as possible.     

Limitations and Extensions of the Lock-and-Key Principle: Differences between Gas State,Solution and Solid State Structures

The lock-and-key concept is discussed with respect to necessary extensions. Formation of supramolecular complexes depends not only, and often not even primarily on an optimal geometric fit between host and guest. Induced fit and allosteric interactions have long been known as important modifications. Different binding mechanisms, the medium used and pH effects can exert a major influence on the affinity. Stereoelectronic effects due to lone pair orientation can lead to variation of binding constants by orders of magnitude. Hydrophobic interactions due to high-energy water inside cavities modify the mechanical lock-and-key picture. That optimal affinities are observed if the cavity is only partially filled by the ligand can be in conflict with the lock-and-key principle. In crystals other forces than those between host and guest often dominate, leading to differences between solid state and solution structures. This is exemplified in particular with calixarene complexes, which by X-ray analysis more often than other hosts show guest molecules outside their cavity. In view of this the particular problems with the identification of weak interactions in crystals is discussed.     

Contribution of intermolecular interactions to constructing supramolecular architecture: Synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a new hybrid of polyoxomolybdate and ((1H-tetrazole-5-yl) methyl)morpholine

A new soluble organic–inorganic hybrid based on polyoxomolybdate, [C₆H₁₂N₅O]₃[(PO₄)Mo₁₂O₃₆]·6H₂O (1), has been successfully synthesized and characterized by using elemental analysis, IR, UV spectroscopies, ¹H NMR technique, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. According to the results of X-ray crystallography the anion [(PO₄)Mo₁₂O₃₆]³⁻ has a typical Keggin structure and the Mo–O distances of Mo–O–Mo bonds are alternately short and long in the polyoxoanion structure. Hirshfeld surface analyses, especially d_norm surface and fingerprint plots, are used for decoding intermolecular interactions in the crystal network and contribution of component units for the construction of the 3D architecture. The results indicate that in 1 the hydrogen bond interaction play a main role in the construction of the 3D architecture, especially the CHO interaction which overruns the classic NHO, NHO hydrogen bond interactions; van der Waals force between the peripheral atoms of component units cannot be ignored.

Local Structure of Alkaline-Earth Boroaluminate Crystals and Glasses: I, Crystal Chemical Concepts—Structural Predictions and Comparisons to Known Crystal Structures

This paper presents a model which predicts glass structures based on local charge balance considerations. The model is shown to be consistent with known structures of borate, aluminate, and boroaluminate crystals and predicts that boroaluminate glasses should contain 3- and 4-coordinate boron, 4-, 5-, and 6-coordinate aluminum, and oxygens coordinated to one, two, three, and perhaps even four network-forming cations. The predicted glass structures are more complex than previous models for boroaluminate glasses, explaining the solid-state NMR data for the boroaluminate glasses discussed in Part II.     

Genetic Profiles and Risk Stratification in Adult De Novo Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in Relation to Age,Gender, and Ethnicity: A Study from Malaysia

Hitherto, no data describing the heterogeneity of genetic profiles and risk stratifications of adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in Southeast Asia are reported. This study assessed genetic profiles, Moorman’s hierarchical classification, and ELN 2017-based risk stratifications in relation to age, gender, and ethnicity in Malaysian adult AML patients. A total of 854 AML patients: male (52%), female (48%) were recruited comprising three main ethnic groups: Malays (59%), Chinese (32%) and Indians (8%). Of 307 patients with abnormal karyotypes: 36% exhibited translocations; 10% deletions and 5% trisomies. The commonest genotype was FLT3-ITD-NPM1wt (276/414; 66.7%). ELN 2017 risk stratification was performed on 494 patients, and 41% were classified as favourable, 39% as intermediate and 20% as adverse groups. More females (47%) were in the favourable risk group compared to males (37%), whereas adverse risk was higher in patients above 60 (24%) of age compared to below 60 (18%) patients. We observed heterogeneity in the distribution of genetic profiles and risk stratifications between the age groups and gender, but not among the ethnic groups. Our study elucidated the diversity of adult AML genetic profiles between Southeast Asians and other regions worldwide.     

The Acidity of Zeolites: Concepts,Measurements and Relation to Catalysis: A Review on Experimental and Theoretical Methods for the Study of Zeolite Acidity

In this article, we considered all aspects of acidity (nature of acid sites, strength, density, etc.) in solid catalysts and in zeolites in particular. After reminding the definition of acidity in liquid and solid acids, we emphasized acidity characterization by the most used physical techniques, such as Hammett's indicator titration, microcalorimetry of adsorbed probe molecules (ammonia, pyridine or other amines for acidity characterization and CO₂ or SO₂ for basicity characterization), ammonia or any amine thermodesorption, IR spectroscopy of hydroxyl groups and of several probe molecules adsorbed (ammonia, pyridine, piperidine, amines, CO, H₂, etc.), MAS-NMR of ²⁷Al, ²⁹Si, ¹H elements and of ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, etc. of adsorbed probe molecules, and model catalytic reactions.

Modeling the way the acid features of zeolites influence the catalytic activity of these catalysts toward acid-catalyzed reactions (relation between ammonia desorption activation energy values and catalytic activities, reaction mechanism, and kinetics) completes the general analysis of acidity and zeolite chemistry.     

A new approach to artificial and modified proteins: theory-based design, synthesis in a cell-free system and fast testing of structural properties by radiolabels

A novel approach to the creation of artificial and modifiedproteins has been elaborated. The approach includes a sequencedesign based on the molecular theory of protein secondary structureand folding patterns, gene expression in a cell-free systemand testing of structural properties of the synthesized polypeptidesat a nanogram level using radiolabelled chains. The approachhas been applied to a new synthetic protein albebetin whichhas been designed to form a 3-D fold which does not contradictany structural rule but has been never observed up to now innatural proteins. Using size-exclusion chromatography, urea-gradientelectrophoresis and limited proteolysis of a radiolabelled chain,it has been shown that the artificial protein is nearly as compactas natural proteins, cooperatively unfolds at high urea concentrationsand has some structural features of a definite structure consistentwith the designed one. As albebetin has been designed as consistingof two structural repeats, a ‘halfalbebetin’ (oneof these repeats) has also been synthesized and studied. Itwas shown that ‘half-albebetin’ is also compact     

Use of 300,000 pseudo-experimental data over 1800 pure fluids to assess the performance of four cubic equations of state: SRK,PR, tc-RK,and tc-PR

The guidelines to constitute a database containing, for 1800 pure fluids, more than 300,000 pseudo-experimental vapor pressure, liquid density, enthalpy of vaporization, and liquid heat capacity data are described. Such a database provides a tool for a fair assessment of the performances of equations of state to correlate (or predict) the properties of pure components. In this paper, we use it to assess the performance of four cubic equations of state (CEoSs): original Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK), original Peng–Robinson (PR), and the translated-consistent versions of PR (tc-PR) and RK (tc-RK). The deviations between calculated and experimental data are compared for the four CEoSs, which make it possible to discuss the influence of the α-function on the calculated vapor–liquid equilibrium properties and how the volume translation impacts the calculated volumetric properties. Eventually, the 1800 pure components are divided into 1252 non-self-associating and 548 self-associating compounds, and the accuracy of the CEoSs depending on the associating character of the molecules is discussed.     

Prolonged poststrike elevation in tongue-flicking rate with rapid onset in gila monster,Heloderma suspectum: Relation to diet and foraging and implications for evolution of chemosensory searching

Experimental tests showed that poststrike elevation in tongue-flicking rate (PETF) and strike-induced chemosensory searching (SICS) in the gila monster last longer than reported for any other lizard. Based on analysis of numbers of tongue-flicks emitted in 5-min intervals, significant PETF was detected in all intervals up to and including minutes 41–45. Using 10-min intervals, PETF lasted though minutes 46–55. Two of eight individuals continued tongue-flicking throughout the 60 min after biting prey, whereas all individuals ceased tongue-flicking in a control condition after minute 35. The apparent presence of PETF lasting at least an hour in some individuals suggests that there may be important individual differences in duration of PETF. PETF and/or SICS are present in all families of autarchoglossan lizards studied except Cordylidae, the only family lacking linguallly mediated prey chemical discrimination. However, its duration is known to be greater than 2-min only in Helodermatidae and Varanidae, the living representatives of Varanoidea. That prolonged PETF and SICS are typical of snakes provides another character supporting a possible a varanoid ancestry for Serpentes. Analysis of 1-min intervals showed that PETF occurred in the first minute. A review of the literature suggests that a pause in tongue-flicking and delay of searching movements are absent in lizards and the few nonvenomous colubrid snakes tested. The delayed onset of SICS may be a specific adaptation of some viperid snakes to allow potentially dangerous prey to be rendered harmless by venom following voluntary release after envenomation and preceding further physical contact with the prey.     

Mix'n'Match: an improved multiple sequence alignment procedure for distantly related proteins using secondary structure predictions, designed to be independent of the choice of gap penalty and scoring matrix

A new multiple sequence alignment procedure is presented. Severaldifferent multiple alignments are made using differing criteria.Having divided the sequences into strongly conserved regions(SCRs) and loosely conserved regions (LCRs), the ‘best’alignment for each LCR is chosen, independently of the otherLCRs, from a selection of possibilities in the multiple alignments.To help make this choice for each LCR, the secondary structureis predicted and shown alongside each different possible alignment.One advantage of this method over automatic, non-interactivemethods, is that the final alignment is not dependent on thechoice of a single set of scoring parameters. Another is that,by allowing interactive choice and by taking account of secondarystructural information, the final alignment is based more onbiological rather than mathematical factors. This method canproduce better alignments than any of the initial automaticmultiple alignment methods used.
