Effect of alkali halides on α-chymotrypsin activity in the plastein reaction

The influence of different alkali halides (LiF, LiCl. LiBr, NaF, NaCl, NaBr, KF, KCl and KBr) on α-chymotrypsin-catalysed plastein synthesis has been studied in aqueous medium at different substrate concentrations. The results showed an enhancing effect on the plastein synthesis enzyme action by the presence of salts, proportional to salt concentration, which was decreased when the substrate concentration was increased. Additionally, these facts allowed the ions to be classified as a function of their activation power (F^? > Cl^? > Br^?: K⁺ > Na⁺ > Li⁺), which was in agreement with the interpretation of the Hofmeister lyotropic series. The influence of the several phenomena produced by the presence of salts in the plastein reaction, such as, salt-substrate interactions and water activity, as well as the presence of deactivated enzyme was also analysed. The obtained results showed that the substrate concentration is the most important factor, and the activating effect of salts could be simultaneously involved with both a structural change on the substrate conformation and a reduction of water activity into the reaction media, enhancing the catalytic capability of the α-chymotrypsin towards a peptide synthesis action.     

Rapid synthesis of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3+λ catalysts by microwave irradiation process

Microwave irradiation processing (MIP) was considered as a potential method to synthesize perovskite-type oxides rapidly, cleanly and energy-efficiently. In this paper, La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3+λ, a kind of promising catalyst for automobile exhaust purification, was successfully prepared by MIP in not more than 5 min. The sol–gel method was also used for comparison. All the samples were evaluated by catalytic activity tests in the simulated exhaust and characterized by XRD, BET, TEM and XRF analyses. The results showed that the integrated perovskite-type phase and uniform particle size were obtained in the microwave-treated samples. And those ones exhibited a better oxidation activity under slightly oxygen-rich condition than that by sol–gel method, which may be related to more A-site cation vacancies and larger bulk oxygen content generated in MIP. Possible formation mechanism of perovskites in MIP was also discussed.

Latexes with intrinsic crosslink activity

In order to develop and study ‘two pack in one pot’ systems, i.e. binder systems consisting of a blend of complementary reactive latexes, epoxy- and amino-functional latexes were prepared and characterised, with atte lion especially directed to control of the number of functional groups and control of the molecular weight. The investigation is focused on the control of the molecular weight of epoxy-functional latexes and on the incorporation of amino groups in latexes by using amino-functional methacrylic monomers. To determine the reactivity of the epoxy and amino groups and to check which factors influence the crosslink reaction a number of blends were prepared from both solution and emulsion copolymers and dried at ambient temperatures. It was found that the major factors, which affect the efficiency of crosslinking, are the T_g and the molecular weight of the copolymers and, in the case of a ‘two pack in one pot system’, the rate of the polymer-polymer reaction in relation to that of the polymer-polymer interdiffusion.     

华北盆地南缘大地电磁测深资料地质解释及大别山推覆体成因探讨

根据新近在大别山北麓获得的四条大地电磁测深剖面可以看出,该区地下介质的电性恃征具了明显的纵向上分层、横向上分块的特点。纵向上目上而下分为9个电性层.均有确定的地质属性。其中:第二和第九电性层为本区低阻标志层;第三和第六电性层为相对高阻层;第八电性层为高阻率电阻率高达1000Ω·m以上);第四、第五、第七电性层既有高阻、又有低阻分布.情况比较复杂。■向上的电性分块结构与本区的凸、凹相间的构造格局相对应。这四条大地测深剖面,均反映本区在5～15km深处有一个面积达15000km~2的连续低阻层(第九电性层).电阻率仅有1～3Ω·m。经分析,认为此低阻层可能是一个区域性的主滑脫面,是形成大別山推覆体由北向南的运动面.     

塔里木盆地主要构造不整合的分布特征及其与对油气成藏的控制作用

塔里木盆地是经历了多个原型盆地发育演化的大型叠合盆地，具有多期构造运动，发育多个区域构造不整合面。通过对构造层序和主要构造不整合分布的研究，总体上可以将塔里木盆地划分为5个一级构造层序和13个二级构造层序；主要构造不整合显示出一定的分布特征，大体从隆起区、斜坡区和坳陷区，常由高角度不整合、微角度或平行不整合到整合接触带。高角度不整合带，对油气的分布、运聚成藏起着一定的促进作用和破坏作用。不整合的发育，可以成为油气侧向运移的良好通道；可以为油气提供良好的储集场所和空间；也可以使先期油气藏遭到破坏和封闭重建，发生二次成藏。阐明不整合界面的特征，可以对分析盆地演化、古隆起古地貌恢复提供有利的依据．对油气的运移、聚集、成藏研究有着重要的意义。     

Drying of persimmons (Diospyros kaki L.) and the following changes in the studied bioactive compounds and the total radical scavenging activities

Fresh persimmons were subjected to two different processes: sun-drying during 1 month and dehydration at 60 °C during 12 h. To assess the effect of this process on nutritional and health-related properties of persimmons dietary fibers, minerals, trace elements, polyphenols and the total radical scavenging activities (TRSAs) were determined before and after processing. It was found that the contents of dietary fibers, minerals and trace elements in fresh and dried persimmons fruits were comparable. Total polyphenols in fresh persimmons was higher than in dried fruits (1.3 vs. 0.9 and 0.8 mg/100 g FW, respectively) and percentage of inhibition was higher than in dried fruits (70% vs. 59% and 55% and 58% vs. 53% and 46% for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) [ABTS] radicals, respectively (P>0.05 in all cases). In conclusion: (1) the differences in the contents of dietary fibers, minerals and trace elements in fresh and dried persimmons are not significant; (2) the contents of polyphenols and the level of the TRSA are higher in fresh persimmons than in dried fruits; however, both variables are also high in dried persimmons; (3) when fresh fruits are not available, proper dried persimmons could be used as a valuable substitute.

Interfacial activity and rate of palladium(II) extraction with decyl pyridine monocarboxylates

Decyl isonicotiniate and decyl nicotiniate permit a rapid extraction of palladium(II) from its hydrochloride solutions. Decyl picoliniate is not a suitable extractant. 4-Octylphenylamine can act as a phase transfer catalyst when its concentration in the organic phase is at least 2·5 × 10^?4 M . It seems that the interfacial adsorption of pyridine carboxylates and of 4-octylphenylamine is not the decisive phenomenon in palladium(II) extraction. The negligible protonation of the pyridine-type extractants and the phase transfer catalysis explains well the quick extraction of palladium(II) with the commercial and highly hydrophobic extractant ACORGA CLX-50.
