The catalytic activity in reaction was correlated with the acidity of the zeolite catalysts. A few of ZSM-5 (m(SiO2)/m(Al2O3)=120) were prepared and modified with Co2+, Fe3+. The surface acidity was determined by Py-IR technique. It was found that CoZSM-5 and FeZSM-5 have fewer Lewis acid sites than HZSM-5. The decrease of Lewis acid sites leads to decreasing the ability of NH3 adsorption, this phenomenon insures that there are adequate acid sites discovering and reacting with aldehydes. It is advantageous to the reaction. By using a CoZSM-5 catalyst, the yields of pyridine base can reach 78%. The study provides a theoretical base for preparing high activity and high selective catalyst for pyridine synthesis.展开更多

A cytosolic GAPDH encoding gene （gpd） of Gracilaria/Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis was cloned and characterized. Deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme of G. lemaneiformis had high homology with those of seven red algae. The 5＇-untranslated regions of the GAPDHs encoding genes of these red algae varied greatly. GAPDHs of these red algae shared the highly conserved glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase active site ASCTTNCL. However, such active site of Cyanidium caldarium was different from those of the other six algae at the last two residues （CL to LF）, thus the spatial structure of its GAPDH active center may be different from those of the other six. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that GAPDH of G. lemaneiformis might have undergone an evolution similar to those of Porphyra yezoensis, Chondrus crispus, and Gracilaria verrucosa. C. caldarium had a closer evolutionary relationship with Cyanidioschyzon merolae than with Cyanidium sp. Virtual Northern blot analysis revealed that gpd of G. lemaneiformis expressed constitutively, which suggested that it might be house-keeping and could be adapted as an inner control in gene expression analysis of G. lemaneiformis.展开更多

[Method] BHAs were extracted from fermented furfural residue by the alkali-dissolution and acidification method, to investigate the effects of solid-liquid ratio （mass ratio of fermented furfural residue to water）, alkali concentration, extraction temperature and extraction time on the extraction rate of BHAs by an orthogonal experiment, and then a solid BHA product was obtained by acidification of its extract followed by solid-liquid separation and oven-drying. [Result] The results showed that the optimal extracting conditions were as follows： solid-liquid ratio of 1：8, alkali concentration of 8% KOH, with extracting temperature at 70℃ and extracting time of 2.5 h in the alkali-dissolution step, and in the acidification step, the pH of the BHA mixture was 2.5. Under the optimal conditions, the content of solid BHAs was 76%, and the extraction rate of BHAs was 49%. [Conclusion] This study provides a theoretical basis for the separation and purification of BHAs from fermented furfural residue by the alkali dissolution and acidification method.展开更多

In this study, we developed a sensitive and efficient method using high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with fluorescence detection for the assay of five important amino acid n After derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde （OPA）, aspartate （Asp）, glutamic acid （Glu）, glycine （Gly）, taurine （Tau） and ）,-aminobutyric acid （GABA） were simultaneously detected in the presence of the internal standard homoserine （Hse）. Precise separation of these five amino acids was achieved using isocratic elution within 24 min. Good linearity was found over the concentration range with correlation coefficients （r2） not less than 0.9998. The limit of detection （LOD） values were no more than 10 nmol/L. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility was adequate with the relative standard deviation （RSD） of 10.5% or below. This method has also been applied to the analysis of amino acids in the substantia nigra and striatum samples obtained from C57BL/6 mice.展开更多
