平滑肌肌球蛋白B的超沉淀与肌球蛋白轻链磷酸化

本文报导了牛胃肌球蛋白B(天然肌动球蛋白)的超沉淀性质。当钙离子、钙调蛋白和ATP存在时,肌球蛋白B出现超沉淀,在pH6.8和7.5处,有两个峰值。Ca^(2+)(PCa值8-4)对超沉淀影响的浓度-反应曲线呈典型的S形,表明当Ca^(2+)浓度处于微摩尔水平时产生超沉淀。伴随超沉淀发生了肌球蛋白调节轻链磷酸化。这说明肌球蛋白轻链的Ca^(2+)-CaM依赖性磷酸化可能包含在脊椎动物平滑肌收缩活动的调节机制中。

扇贝肌钙蛋白及其对肌球蛋白超沉淀的影响

分离了扇贝闭壳肌肌钙蛋白，其分子量为４６（ＩｎＩ），４０（ＴｎＴ），和２２（ＴｎＣ）ｋＤ．肌球蛋白Ｂ含有主要的收缩蛋白质与调节蛋白质，在有Ｃａ２＋和ＡＴＰ存在时，它会发生超沉淀作用．经低离子强度溶液反复沉淀处理，即失去Ｃａ２＋－敏感性，成为去敏肌球蛋白Ｂ．在Ｃａ２＋和ＡＴＰ作用下，它仍可发生超沉淀作用，但仅及最大活性的５０％．若加入肌钙蛋白，则反应活性可完全恢复．兔骨骼肌肌钙蛋白可替代扇贝闭壳肌肌钙蛋白．这表明扇贝闭壳肌兼有肌动蛋白相关调节和肌球蛋白相关调节．

Effect of ultrasonic on structure and electrochemical performance of α-Ni(OH)_2 electrodes

Al/Co co-doped α-Ni（OH）2 samples were prepared by either ultrasonic co-precipitation method （Sample B） or co-precipitation method （Sample A）. The crystal structure and particle size distribution of the prepared samples were examined by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and laser particle size analyzer, respectively. The results show that Sample B has more crystalline defects and smaller average diameter than Sample A. The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements indicate that Sample B has better electrochemical performance than Sample A, such as better reaction reversibility, lower charge-transfer resistance and better cyclic stability. Proton diffusion coefficient of Sample B is 1.96×10-10cm2/s, which is two times as large as that （9.78×10-11cm2/s） of Sample A. The charge-discharge tests show that the discharge capacity （308 mA·h/g） of Sample B is 25 mA·h/g higher than that of Sample A （283 mA·h/g）.

Structure and electrochemical performance of Cu singly doped and Cu/Al co-doped nano-nickel hydroxide

Nanometer Cu singly doped and Cu/Al co-doped nickel hydroxides were synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted precipitation method. Their crystal structure, particle size, morphology, tap density and electrochemical performance were investigated. The results show that the samples have a-phase structure with narrow particle size distribution. Cu singly doped nano-Ni（OH）2 contains irregular particles, while Cu/Al co-doped nano-Ni（OH）2 displays a quasi-spherical shape and has a relatively higher tap density. Composite electrodes were prepared by mixing 8% （mass fraction） nanometer samples with commercial micro-size spherical nickel. The charge/discharge test and cyclic voltammetry results indicate that the electrochemical performance of Cu/Al co-doped nano-Ni（OH）2 is better than that of Cu singly doped nano-Ni（OH）2, the former＇s discharge capacity reaches 330 mA.h/g at 0.2C, 12 mA.h/g and 91 mA.h/g larger than that of Cu singly doped sample and pure spherical nickel electrode, respectively. Moreover, the proton diffusion coefficient of Cu/Al co-doped sample is 52.3% larger than that of Cu singly doped sample.

Comparative studies on the biochemical characteristics of natural actomyosin isolated from PSE and normal pork

Biochemical changes of natural actomyosin from fresh pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and normal pork were studied,and the effects of different storage temperatures and different incubation temperature and times on sample superprecipitation,total sulfhydryl (-SH) content, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) sensitivity were investigated. The results demonstrated that ATPase activity and thermal stability of PSE actomyosin were lower than those of normal pork; and that PSE actomyosin had higher -SH content than that of normal pork at all incubation temperatures and times tested.

Synthesis and characterization of bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders

Bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders were prepared by co-precipitation method using SnCl4 and Bi（NO3）3 as raw materials. The effects of calcining temperature and doping ratio on the particle size, composition, spectrum selectivity of bismuth-doped tin dioxide and the phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor at different temperatures were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visual-near infrared diffuse reflection spectrum and the thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that prepared bismuth-doped tin dioxide powders have excellent characteristics with a single-phase tetragonal structure, good dispersibility, good absorbency for ultraviolet ray and average particle size less than 10 nm. The optimum conditions for preparing bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders are as follows: calcining temperature of 600℃, ratio of bismuth-doped in a range of 0.10-0.30, and Bi-Sn precursor being dispersed by ultrasonic wave and refluxed azeotropic and distillated with mixture of n-butanol and benzene. The mechanism of phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor is that Bi 3+ enters Sn-vacancy and then forms Sn—O—Bi bond.

Numerical simulation of flocculation and settling behavior of whole-tailings particles in deep-cone thickener

Rapid dewatering and thickening of whole-tailings with ultrafine particles is one of the most important processes for the whole-tailings paste preparation. Deep-cone thickener, a kind of such process for the flocculation and settling of whole-tailings, is particularly necessary to study. However, there exist many problems in observing the flocculation and settling process of whole-tailings, as well as the particle size distribution(PSD) of whole-tailings floccules in deep-cone thickener. Population balance model(PBM) is applied to predict the PSD in deep-cone thickener, and LUO model and GHADIRI model are employed to study the aggregation and fragmentation mechanism of the whole-tailings particles, respectively. Through three-dimensional numerical simulation on the whole-tailings flocculation and settling in deep-cone thickener using computational fluid dynamics(CFD)-PBM, the distribution of density and turbulent kinetic energy in deep-cone thickener were obtained, at the same time the spatio-temporal changes of whole-tailings floccules particle size distribution are analyzed. Finally, the major flocculation position in deep-cone thickener is found and the flocculation settling rules of whole-tailings are achieved.

Sono-assisted preparation of magnetic ferroferric oxide/graphene oxide nanoparticles and application on dye removal

A simple ultrasound-assisted co-precipitation method was developed to prepare ferroferric oxide/graphene oxide magnetic nanoparticles(Fe_3O_4/CO MNPs).The hysteresis loop of Fe_3O_4/GO MNPs demonstrated that the sample was typical of superparamagnetic material.The samples were characterized by transmission electron microscope,and it is found that the particles are of small size.The Fe_3O_4/GO MNPs were further used as an adsorbent to remove Rhodamine B.The effects of initial pH of the solution,the dosage of adsorbent,temperature,contact time and the presence of interfering dyes on adsorption performance were investigated as well.The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics data were fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudosecond-order kinetic model respectively.The adsorption process followed intra-particle diffusion model with more than one process affecting the adsorption of Rhodamine B.And the adsorption process was endothermic in nature.Furthermore,the magnetic composite with a high adsorption capacity of Rhodamine B could be effectively and simply separated using an external magnetic field.And the used particles could be regenerated and recycled easily.The magnetic composite could find potential applications for the removal of dye pollutants.

Low-temperature synthesis of ultrasmall spinel MnxCo3-xO4 nanoparticles for efficient oxygen reduction

Spinel-type manganese-cobalt oxides have been regarded as important class of electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).However,they are usually synthesized through oxidation-precipitation under aqueous ammonia and then crystallization at high temperature(150–180℃),which not only increases the energy consumption but also induces the growth of particles that is unfavorable for ORR.Herein,through a facile precipitation-dehydration method,ultrasmall spinel manganese-cobalt oxide nanoparticles(~5 nm)homogeneously dispersed on conductive carbon black(MnxCo3-xO4/C)were fabricated at low temperature(60℃).And the bimetallic composite oxide(Mn1.5Co1.5O4/C)with cubic spinel structure and high Mn content exhibits remarkable enhancement of ORR activity and stability compared with single metal oxide(both Mn3O4/C and Co3O4/C).The essential reason for the enhancement of activity can be attributed to the presence of the mixed Mn^3+ and Mn^4+ cations in Mn1.5Co1.5O4/C.Moreover,the ORR activity of Mn1.5Co1.5O4/C is comparable to that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C,and the relative current density only decreases 1.4% after 12 h test,exceeding that of Pt/C and most reported manganese-cobalt oxide electrocatalysts.
