Gelchromatographie, die möglichkeiten verschiedener trennmaterialien
1968
Zur Gelchromatographie lassen sich organische und anorganische Trennmaterialien verwenden. Das reprasentative hochvernetzte Styragel wird benutzt, um vergleichende Untersuchungen mit porosen und Stoffen auf der Basis von Silicium und Aluminium auszufuhren. Fur die Trennung sehr hochmolekularer Substanzen, die Gele groser Porenweite erfordern, sind die anorganischen Gele wegen ihrer hohen mechanischen Stabilitat besonders geeignet. Fur Substanzen mit niedrigem Molekulargewicht sind organische und anorganische Trennstoffe hafig etwa gleich gut verwendbar, so das man den Geltyp wahlen kann, der moglichst nur hydrodynamische und keine chemische Wechselwirkung mit der Substanz zeigt.

Structural stability and properties of three isoforms of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complexes of photosystem II.
2008
AbstractThree isoforms of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll (Chl) a/b complexs of photosystem II (LHCIIb) in the pea, namely, Lhcb1, Lhcb2, and Lhcb3, were obtained by overexpression of apoprotein in Escherichia coli and by successfully refolding these isoforms with thylakoid pigments in vitro. The sequences of the protein, pigment stoichiometries, spectroscopic characteristics, thermo- and photostabilities of different isoforms were analysed. Comparison of their spectroscopic properties and structural stabilities revealed that Lhcb3 differed strongly from Lhcb1 and Lhcb2 in both respects. It showed the lowest Qy transition energy, with its reddest absorption about 2 nm red-shifted, an…
p63 Isoforms Regulate Metabolism of Cancer Stem Cells
2014
p63 is an important regulator of epithelial development expressed in different variants containing (TA) or lacking (ΔN) the N-terminal transactivation domain. The different isoforms regulate stem-cell renewal and differentiation as well as cell senescence. Several studies indicate that p63 isoforms also play a role in cancer development; however, very little is known about the role played by p63 in regulating the cancer stem phenotype. Here we investigate the cellular signals regulated by TAp63 and ΔNp63 in a model of epithelial cancer stem cells. To this end, we used colon cancer stem cells, overexpressing either TAp63 or ΔNp63 isoforms, to carry out a proteomic study by chemical-labeling …
Heterometallic Titanium-Organic Frameworks as Dual Metal Catalysts for Synergistic Non-Buffered Hydrolysis of Nerve Agent Simulants
2020
Heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can offer important advantages over their homometallic counterparts to enable targeted modification of their adsorption, structural response, electronic structure, or chemical reactivity. However, controlling metal distribution in these solids still remains a challenge. The family of mesoporous titanium-organic frameworks, MUV-101(M), displays heterometallic TiM2 nodes assembled from direct reaction of Ti(IV) and M(II) salts. We use the degradation of nerve agent simulants to demonstrate that only TiFe2 nodes are capable of catalytic degradation in non-buffered conditions. By using an integrative experimental-computational approach, we rational…
Thermodynamics of computation and linear stability limits of superfluid refrigeration of a model computing array
2019
We analyze the stability of the temperature profile of an array of computing nanodevices refrigerated by flowing superfluid helium, under variations in temperature, computing rate, and barycentric velocity of helium. It turns out that if the variation in dissipated energy per bit with respect to temperature variations is higher than some critical values, proportional to the effective thermal conductivity of the array, then the steady-state temperature profiles become unstable and refrigeration efficiency is lost. Furthermore, a restriction on the maximum rate of variation in the local computation rate is found.
A note on Serrin's overdetermined problem
2014
We consider the solution of the torsion problem $$−Δu = N \quad\mathrm{in}\quad Ω,\quad u = 0\quad\mathrm{on}\quad ∂Ω,$$ where Ω is a bounded domain in RN. ¶ Serrin's celebrated symmetry theorem states that, if the normal derivative uν is constant on ∂Ω, then Ω must be a ball. In [6], it has been conjectured that Serrin's theorem may be obtained by stability in the following way: first, for the solution u of the torsion problem prove the estimate $$r_e − r_i ≤ C_t\Bigl(\max_{\Gamma_t} u-\min_{\Gamma_t} u\Bigr)$$ for some constant Ct depending on t, where re and ri are the radii of an annulus containing ∂Ω and Γt is a surface parallel to ∂Ω at distance t and sufficiently close to ∂Ω secondly…
Isolation of the CH3˙ rotor in a thermally stable inert matrix: first characterization of the gradual transition from classical to quantum behaviour …
2014
International audience; Matrix isolation is a method which plays a key role in isolating and characterizing highly reactive molecularradicals. However, the isolation matrices, usually composed of noble gases or small diamagnetic molecules,are stable only at very low temperatures, as they begin to desegregate even above a few tens of Kelvin.Here we report on the successful isolation of CH3 radicals in the cages of a nearly inert clathrate–SiO2matrix. This host is found to exhibit a comparable inertness with respect to that of most conventionalnoble gas matrices but it is characterized by a peculiar thermal stability. The latter property is related to thecovalent nature of the host material a…
Spacetime curvature and Higgs stability after inflation
2015
We investigate the dynamics of the Higgs field at the end of inflation in the minimal scenario consisting of an inflaton field coupled to the Standard Model only through the non-minimal gravitational coupling $\xi$ of the Higgs field. Such a coupling is required by renormalisation of the Standard Model in curved space, and in the current scenario also by vacuum stability during high-scale inflation. We find that for $\xi\gtrsim 1$, rapidly changing spacetime curvature at the end of inflation leads to significant production of Higgs particles, potentially triggering a transition to a negative-energy Planck scale vacuum state and causing an immediate collapse of the Universe.
NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS
2013
For many systems of differential equations modeling problems in science and engineering, there are natural splittings of the right hand side into two parts, one non-stiff or mildly stiff, and the other one stiff. For such systems implicit-explicit (IMEX) integration combines an explicit scheme for the non-stiff part with an implicit scheme for the stiff part. In a recent series of papers two of the authors (Sandu and Zhang) have developed IMEX GLMs, a family of implicit-explicit schemes based on general linear methods. It has been shown that, due to their high stage order, IMEX GLMs require no additional coupling order conditions, and are not marred by order reduction. This work develops a …
Specific roles of 5′ RNA secondary structures in stabilizing transcripts in chloroplasts
2005
RNA secondary structures, e.g. stem-loops that are often found at the 5' and 3' ends of mRNAs, are in many cases known to be crucial for transcript stability but their role in prolonging the lifetime of transcripts remains elusive. In this study we show for an essential RNA-stabilizing stem-loop at the 5' end of rbcL gene transcripts in Chlamydomonas that it neither prevents ribonucleases from binding to the RNA nor impedes their movement along the RNA strand. The stem-loop has a formative function in that it mediates folding of a short sequence around its base into a specific RNA conformation, consisting of a helical and single-stranded region, i.e. the real structure required for longevit…
