We have generated transgenic mice that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of mouse insulin I gene promoter (MIP). The MIP-GFP develop normally and are indistinguishable from animals with respect to glucose tolerance pancreatic content. Histological studies showed had normal islet architecture coexpression GFP in β-cells all islets. observed expression islets embryonic day E13.5 through adulthood. Studies β-cell function revealed no difference glucose-induced...
This study aimed to develop effective adsorbents for capturing radioactive iodine in nuclear power waste gas. Two zinc metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) were synthesized and found have favorable properties such as a large surface area, thermal stability, rich π-electron-containing nitrogen, redox potential. Adsorption experiments revealed maximum capacities of 1.25 1.96 g g-1 the MOFs at 75 °C, with pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitting data well. The Langmuir equation provided better...
Abstract Polymer‐based membrane technology holds immense promise for CO 2 separation. However, it faces persistent challenges, including the high pressure‐induced plasticization and permeability‐selectivity trade‐offs, which significantly hinder development of polymeric membranes. To tackle this issue, we synthesized a novel polyimide 6FDA‐DAT:DABA(6FDD) containing triptycene carboxylic groups. Upon de‐carboxylation induced cross‐linking, demonstrated simultaneous enhancement gas...
Abstract Fundamental understanding of coordination chemistry across the lanthanide series is essential for explaining chemical behavior rare‐earth metals in complex liquid‐liquid extraction processes, which turn affects distribution ratios and efficacy separations as a whole. In this work, we explore structural trends between lanthanides neutral N,N,N′,N′−tetramethylmalonamide (TMMA) ligand within four isolated families solid‐state compounds: Ln( trans ‐TMMA) 2 (NO 3 ) Ln=La−Nd, Sm; cis...
Membrane separation technology provides an effective alternative to mitigate the massive carbon emission with high capture productivity and efficiency. In context of operating membranes under CO2 pressures allows increased reduced gas compression cost, which, however, often leads induced plasticization, a key hurdle for current membranes. this review, we reviewed latest development anti-plasticization resistance, potentially suited operation feed streams. Specifically, performance polymeric...
Structural, thermal, and dynamic properties of four deep eutectic solvents comprising choline chloride paired with ortho-phenolic derivative hydrogen-bond donors were probed using experiments molecular simulations. The include phenol, catechol, o-chlorophenol, o-cresol, in a 3:1 mixture the acceptor chloride. Density, viscosity, pulsed-field gradient NMR diffusivity measurements conducted over range temperatures. Classical ab initio dynamics simulation results match experimental data...
Highly substituted alkenes are important synthetic intermediates for pharmaceuticals, and the development of such compounds provides a variety potential alkene monomers functional polyolefin molecules. At present, series...
More than half of all pharmaceuticals are chiral compounds. Although the enantiomers compounds have same chemical structure, they can exhibit marked differences in physiological activity; therefore, it is important to remove undesirable enantiomer. Chromatographic separation one best available methods get enantio-pure substances, but optimization experimental conditions be very time-consuming. One most widely used stationary phases, amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) (ADMPC), has...
Chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is commonly performed to isolate the biologically active enantiomer of a drug from ineffective or even harmful ones. Understanding molecular-level recognition that underlies this process necessary for trimming down very large number possible combinations chiral stationary phases, solvent systems, and other experimental HPLC conditions, particularly important consideration when only small quantities racemate are available. Fully atomistic...
This study highlights the importance of combining distribution ratio measurements with multiple spectroscopic techniques to provide a more comprehensive understanding organic phase Ln coordination chemistry. Solvent extraction investigations N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyldiglycolamide (TODGA) in n-heptane reveal sensitivity complexation HNO3 concentration. Distribution tandem UV–Vis demonstrated that increasing concentration above 0.5 M constant NO3– 1 increases number coordinating TODGA molecules,...
We use explicit-solvent fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, permitting all the interactions between atoms constituting polymeric chiral stationary phase (CSP), solvent molecules and drug molecule enantiomers, to better understand recognition mechanism that makes chromatographic separation possible. Using amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) (ADMPC) as prototype, three systems, ten racemates solutes, we seek a average quantity could serve metric predicts which of two...
Enzyme activity is affected by amino acid mutations, particularly mutations near the active site. Increasing evidence has shown that distal more than 10 Å away from site may significantly affect enzyme activity. However, it difficult to study regulation mechanism of due lack a systematic collection three-dimensional (3D) structures, highlighting mutation and corresponding change. Therefore, we constructed database, namely, D3DistalMutation, which relates As result, observed approximately 80%...
