In this work, 3-amino-1-propanesulfonic acid and 4-amino-1-butanesulfonic acid substituted hypocrellin B, named compounds 1 and 2, were designed, synthesized in high yields and characterized. Besides greatly strengthened red absorption, the maximum solubility of compound 2 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is 4.2 mg/mL which is just enough to prepare an aqueous solution for intravenous injection in clinically acceptable concentration, while the partition coefficient between n-octanol and PBS, 5.6, benefits the cell-uptake and biological activity as well. Furthermore, EPR measurements reveal that the photosensitization activities of the two compounds to generate semiquinone anion radicals, superoxide anion radicals and singlet oxygen are a little bit higher than those of taurine substituted hypocrellin B (THB), but the photodynamic activities to human lung cancer A549 cells are several times that of THB, mainly due to increases in lipophilicity and cell-uptake.展开更多

In this work, a novel mechanism, energy spillover from PS Ⅰ to PS Ⅱ referred to as "inverse spillover", was revealed besides "mobile phycobilisome (PBS)" and the "spillover" of energy from PS Ⅱ to PS Ⅰ in cyanobacteria. Under continuous illumination with blue light, time-dependent 77-K fluorescence spectra demonstrated heterogeneous kinetics for the PBS and photosystem components, indicating that inverse spillover and mobile PBS work successively to regulate the excitation to a balanced distribution in cyanobacterial cells under blue light. Inverse spillover and mobile PBS occur under both 100 and 300 μmol m-2 s-1 blue-light conditions but they are accelerated under the latter.展开更多

In this paper, an approach to identifying a sudden continuous emission pollutant source based on single sensor information is developed to locate a source in an enclosed space with a steady velocity field. Because the gravity has a very important influence on the gaseous pollutant transport and the source identification, its influence is analyzed theoretically and a conclusion is drawn that the velocity of fluid is a key factor to effectively help weaken the gravitational influence. Further studies for a given 2-D case by using the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） method show that when the velocity of inlet is less than one certain value, the influence of gravity on the pollutant transport is very significant, which will change the velocity field obviously. In order to quantitatively judge the practical applicability of identification approach, a synergy degree of the velocity fields before and after a source appearing is proposed as a condition for considering the influence of gravity. An experimental device simulating pollutant transmission was set up and some experiments were conducted to verify the practical application of the above studies in the actual gravitational environment. The results show that the proposed approach can successfully locate the sudden constant source when the experimental situations meet the identified conditions.展开更多

Hydroxyl radicals were generated from pulse radiolysis of aqueous systems saturated with nitrous oxide (N2O). The experimental results indicated that the three types of phycobiliproteins are all strong scavengers of· OH, the rate constants are around (2.8-5.6)×109 L·2 mol1 · s 1.展开更多

However, due to the radiation damage induced by X-ray and the complexity of the Mn4Ca-cluster, the assignment of the μ4-O5 atom coordinated by three Mn and one Ca2+ ions is still lack of essential evidences. In this article, we synthesized one Mn complex containing two μ4-O atoms. It is found that the lengths of all μ4-O-Mn bonds in this Mn complex are in the range of 1.89-2.10 , which are significantly shorter than 2.40-2.61 distance of μ4-O5-Mn bonds in Mn4Ca-cluster observed in the crystal structure of PSII. In addition, DFT calculations have been carried out on the Mn4Ca-cluster. It is found that the O atom of μ4-O or μ4-OH always trends to deviate from the center position of four metal ions, resulting in unequal bond lengths of four μ4-4-M (M=Mn or Ca), which is obviously different with larger and nearly equal distances between μ4-O and four metal ions observed in the crystal structure. Based on these results, we suggest that the μ4-atom in Mn4Ca-cluster of PSII is unlikely to be a μ4-O, μ4-OH or μ4-OH2 , and its assignment is still an open question.展开更多
