SELF-CONSISTENT TREATMENT OF 3-DIMENSIONAL - 2-DIMENSIONAL AND 2-DIMENSIONAL - 2-DIMENSIONAL RESONANT-TUNNELING IN DOUBLE-BARRIER STRUCTURES

By using a transfer-matrix method on the basis of two-dimensional (2D) Bloch sums in accordance with a tight-binding scheme, a self-consistent calculation on the resonant tunneling in asymmetric double-barrier structures is presented, in which contributions to resonant tunneling from both three-dimensional (3D) electrons in the contacts and 2D electrons in the spacer or accumulation layers are considered simultaneously. The charge buildup effect on the current versus voltage (I-V) curves is evaluated systematically, showing quantitatively how it results in the I-V bistability and enhanced differences between I-V curves for positive and negative bias in an asymmetric double-barrier structure. Special attention is focused on the interaction between 3D-2D and 2D-2D resonant-tunneling processes, including the suppression of 2D-2D resonant tunneling by the charge buildup in the well accompanying the 3D-2D resonant tunneling. The effects of the emitter doping condition (doping concentration, spacer thickness) on the presence of two types of quasi-2D levels in the emitter accumulation layers, and on the formation of a potential bulge in the emitter region, are discussed in detail in relation to the tunneling process.

海洋枯草芽孢杆菌3512A抗真菌脂肽的研究

芽孢杆菌 (Bacillus) 被认为是一种具有潜在的能有效抑制植物病原真菌并促进植物生长作用的有益菌种，它能产生许多种不同结构的抗菌物质，其中脂肽类抗菌物质是其中重要的一类。这些抗菌脂肽具有对动植物无害、对环境友好、不易产生交叉抗性等特点，因而在生物防治由真菌引起的病害中起着十分重要的作用。海洋中也存在着大量芽孢杆菌，并且由于海洋的特殊生存环境有可能开发出与陆生芽孢杆菌性质或功能不同的代谢产物。 本论文从108株海洋芽孢菌中筛选到一株抗真菌活性显著、脂肽产量高的海洋枯草芽孢杆菌3512A（Bacillus subtilis 3512A）。对该菌株产生的脂肽进行分离纯化，结合酸沉淀、Flash Chromatography、HPLC等现代色谱手段，从其发酵液中分离得到了 4 个纯化合物，分别是流分 4 中分离到的Comd.1 和Comd.2，以及流分 8 中分离到的ALP1 和 ALP3。流分 4 中的 Comd.1 和Comd.2 分子量分别为1036D和1050D，结合1D, 2D-NMR, MS 等结构分析后确定分子式分别为 C53H93N7O13 和 C54H95N7O13，Comd.2为Comd.1的甲基化产物，均属于surfactin 的同系物，其它组分还有待进一步测定分析。而流分 8 中得到的三个化合物 ALP1、ALP2 和ALP3，对ALP1 和ALP3进行鉴定，通过 TLC 原位酸水解实验、1H-NMR 图谱分析等推断 ALP1 和 ALP3也属于环状脂肽类化合物。对这两种脂肽化合物的氨基酸组成进行分析，发现这两种化合物的氨基酸组成相同，推测可能是一组同系物，且这两种化合物的氨基酸组成不同于目前已报道的脂肽类化合物的氨基酸组成，可能是一类新的脂肽类物质，其具体化学结构还有待于进一步分析鉴定。 考察3512A所产粗脂肽的热稳定性和pH稳定性，结果显示粗脂肽的热稳定性很好，即使在115 ℃、30 min, 活性只有部分损失；粗脂肽对酸的耐受性比较好，对碱有部分耐受性，pH10后活性降低显著。通过单因素法考查培养基组成和培养条件对3512A产脂肽能力的影响，研究结果表明，以蔗糖或葡萄糖作碳源，以硝酸铵为氮源，pH为8.0，每250 ml三角瓶装液量60 ml，以5% 的接种量28℃，180 r/min培养48 h，脂肽产量最高，达到1003 mg/L。

In the first and the second parts, thechemical constituents from the flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata and therhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida were reported. The third part is a review on astructure-activity relationship of the cycloartane triterpenoid from Cimicifuga species. The first part is composed of two chapters. The chapter 1 is about the isolationand identification of the chemical constituents from the flower buds of E.caryophyllata. A new phenolic glucoside gallate, methyl 2-O-(6’-O-galloyl)-b-D-glucopyranosylbenzoate (24), together with thirty-three known compounds has beenisolated from the ethanol extract of the flower buds of E. caryophyllata throughrepeated column chromatography on normal and reversed phase silica gel. Thestructure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemicalevidence. Those kno wn compounds were belonged to flavone, triterpenoid, tannin andsome simple compounds. Among them, 12 compounds were isolated from the titleplant for the first time. The second chapter describes the capillary GC-MS analysis ofthe volatile components and the HPLC-MS/MS analysis of the polar constituents fromthe flower buds of E. caryophyllata, in order to detect the main constituents in thecrude extract rapidly and precisely. The third chapter is about the chemical constituents of the rhizomes C. foetida, atraditional Chinese medicine which was used as anti-inflammatory, analgesic andantipyretic agents. Our investigation of the bioactivities constituents of the rhizomesof C. foetida led to the isolation of five new cycloartane triterpenoids, which werecharacterized as cimicidol-3-one (38), 3'-O-acetyl cimicifugoside H-1 (41),2'-O-acetyl cimicifugoside H-1 (42), (3b,12b,16b)-12-acetoxy-16,23-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanost-22-ene-24-one 3-O-b-D-xylopyranoside (44) and cimicifugadine (54),along with fifteen known compounds through repeated column chromatography onnormal and reversed phase silica gel. Among them, 54 is a novel cycloartanealkaloid and first discovered as a new type alkaoid from nature. The structures ofthese compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence, andcimicidol-3-one was confirmed by X-ray crystallography analysis. Moreover, onecompound exhibited strong anti-osteoporosis activity in vitro experiment. The fourth part is a review on a structure-activity relationship analysis of thecycloartane triterpenoid from Cimicifuga species.

The mononuclear Co(III) complex (4) of this dioxime was prepared by oxidation of the cobalt (II) complex. The -capped Co(III) complex (5) was synthesized by using a precursor Co(III) complex and boron trifluoride dietherate. The heterotrinuclear complexes (6) and (7) were prepared by reaction of (5) with NiCl2·6H2O and CdCl2·H2O, respectively. In addition, the homotrinuclear Cu(II) complex (8), has also been prepared by the reaction of this dioxime with CuCl2·H2O. The structures of the dioxime and its complexes were identified by using elemental analysis, 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, and mass spectral data.

Determination of the secondary structure of the king cobra neurotoxin CM-11

The king cobra neuotoxin CM-11 is a small protein with 72 amino acid residues. After its complete assignments of H-1-NMR resonance's were obtained using various 2D-NMR technologies, including of DQF-COSY, clean-TOCSY AND NOESY, the secondary structure was analysed by studying the various NOEs extracted from the NOESY spectra and the distribution of chemical shifts. The secondary structure was finally determined by MCD as follows: a triple-strand antiparallel beta sheet with I20-W36, R37-A43 and V53--S59 as its beta strands, a short alpha helix formed by W30-G35 and four turns formed by P7-K10, C14-G17, K50-V53 and D61-N64.

Extraction behavior of Mo and W as homologs of Sg with α-benzoinoxime

Solvent extraction of molybdenum and tungsten as homologues of Sg with a-benzoinoxime from HCl solutions has been investigated. The extraction equilibration was achieved at 20s for Mo and W. Molybdenum was almost quantitatively extracted from 0.001 to 4M HCl solutions, and the extraction yields decreased at higher and lower acid concentrations due to the formation of anionic oxychloride complex and anionic species MO42-, respectively. The extraction yield of W was lower than that of Mo during the whole range of acid concentration. The composition of the extracted species was determined by using the slope method in present experiment. The elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra of the extracted species suggest that the extracted complex contain one MoO22+or WO22+ groups bonded with two a-benzoinoxime molecules.

Cultivation of the endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum, which was isolated from the inner tissue of the marine red alga Polysiphonia urceolata, resulted in the isolation of chaetopyranin (1), a new benzaldehyde secondary metabolite. Ten known compounds were also isolated, including two benzaldehyde congeners, 2-(2 ',3-epoxy-1 ',3 '-heptadienyl)-6-hydroxy- 5-(3-methyl-2-butenyl) benzaldehyde (2) and isotetrahydroauroglaucin (3), two anthraquinone derivatives, erythroglaucin (4) and parietin (5), five asperentin derivatives including asperentin ( 6, also known as cladosporin), 5 '-hydroxy-asperentin-8-methylether (7), asperentin-8-methyl ether (8), 4 '-hydroxyasperentin (9), and 5 '-hydroxyasperentin (10), and the prenylated diketopiperazine congener neoechinulin A (11). The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data analysis (H-1, C-13, H-1-H-1 COSY, HMQC, and HMBC NMR, as well as low- and high-resolution mass experiments). To our knowledge, compound 1 represents the first example of a 2H-benzopyran derivative of marine algal-derived fungi as well as of the fungal genus Chaetomium. Each isolate was tested for its DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging property. Compounds 1-4 were found to have moderate activity. Chaetopyranin (1) also exhibited moderate to weak cytotoxic activity toward several tumor cell lines.
