The denaturation course of APE1547 was followed by the steady-state and time resolved fluorescence methods. An increase in the denaturant concentration in the denatured system can significantly enhance the inactivation and unfolding of APE1547. The enzyme can be completely inactivated with a urea concentration of 2.7 mol/L or a GdnHCl concentration of 7.5 mol/L. The fluorescence emission maximum of the enzyme protein red shifts in magnitude to a maximum value(355 nm) when the concentration of GdnHCl is 5.1 mol/L. The experimental results indicate that APE1547 has a high resistance to urea. Unfolding of APE1547 in GdnHCI(4. 2-6.0 mol/L) was shown to be an irreversible process. The present results indicate that the ion pairs in this protein may be a key factor for the stability of this esterase.展开更多

However, an important question has been raised that how to select appropriate patients for ICD therapy. 1-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) planar and SPECT imaging have shown great potentials to predict ventricular arrhythmia in heart failure patients by as- sessing the abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system. Clinical trials demonstrated that several parameters measured from 1-123 MIBG planar and SPECT imaging, such as heart-to-mediastinum ratio, washout rate, defect score, and innervation/perfusion mismatch, predicted ventricular arrhythmias in heart failure patients. This paper introduces the current practice of ICD therapy and reviews the technical background of 1-123 MIBG planar and SPECT imaging and their clinical data in predicting ventricular arrhythmia.展开更多

The loaded copper and cyanide can be stripped efficiently by the moderately strong NaOH solutions(0.5-1.0 mol/L)and the presence of NaCN in the stripping solution facilitates copper stripping.展开更多

In this paper, a series of guanidine-based ionic liquids were synthesized to catalyze the transesterification of glycerol and dimethyl carbonate. The tunable basicity and the anion–cation cooperative effect were responsible for the obtained results. The [TMG][TFE] showed the best activity turnover frequency(TOF)of 1754.0 h^(-1), glycerol(GL) conversion of 91.8%, glycerol carbonate(GC) selectivity of 95.5%) at 80 °C with 0.1 mol% catalyst for 30 min. The reaction mechanism of the transesterification was also proposed.展开更多

We optimized the reaction procedure to easily obtain 5-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a ]pyrazin-3-amine. Various types of halogenated pyrazines can successfully undergo this process. We synthesized a series of 1-(pyrazin-2-yl)guanidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a ]pyrazin-3-amines, and then elucidated their structures based on their ~1H-NMR, ^(13)C-NMR, ESI-HRMS, and nuclear Overhauser effect spectra.展开更多

Ion-exchanging and complexing properties of the obtained adsorbent have been studied with respect to cations of Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and metal-containing oxoanions of W(VI), Mo(VI), Cr(VI), V(V). Optimum conditions for quantitative extraction of the studied ions were determined. The structure and composition of Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes on the surface of the synthesized adsorbent have been investigated. The possibility of quantitative determination of cobalt(II) and copper(II) trace amounts after their preconcentration by the synthesized adsorbent was demonstrated.展开更多
