In the pH range 2 56-4 10, PR interacts with proteins, including bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, lysozyme, chymotrypsin, resulting in enhanced resonance light scattering(RLS) with the maximal peak at 360 0 nm. With the enhanced RLS, proteins in the range 0-5 0(μg/mL can be determined with the determination limits between 10 3 and 32 2 ng/mL depending on different protein. The effects of foreign substances were tested. The method has been applied to the determination of protein in the synthetic samples and human urine with satisfaction results.展开更多

Fast Fourier transformation of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that the synthesized GNRs are single crystalline. The longitudinal surface plasmon resonance of GNRs can be finely tuned by varying silver ion concentrations or seed amounts. Also, both thick(diameter >30 nm) and thin(diameter <10 nm) GNRs with exceptional monodispersity can be well prepared by this method. These findings indicate that this method has a greater performance in controlling the morphology of GNRs than that of traditional approach with ascorbic acid as a reductant.展开更多

It is found that β alanine C 60 adducts have an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxide radical generated from auto oxidation of pyrogallol. At a mass concentration level of 150 μg/mL for β alanine C 60 adducts, the radical scavenging efficiency is approximately equivalent to one enzyme unit, in vitro experiments show that β alanine C 60 adducts can enhance the activity of mouse thymus cells and prolong their life time span. It reveals the potential use of these β alanine C 60 adducts as the novel potent free radical scavengers in biological systems.展开更多
