Comparative study of three short-chain neurotoxins from the venom of Naja kaouthia (Yunnan, China)

Three short-chain neurotoxins named NT-I, NT-II, and NT-III were purified from the venom of Naja kaouthia, a snake distributed throughout the south of Yunnan province, China, by a series of chromatographic steps, including an FPLC Resource S column. Their molecular weights, determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS, were 6952.19 Da, 6854.92 Da, and 6828.80 Da, respectively. NT-I consisted of 62 amino acid residues, and the other two consisted of 61 amino acid residues, including 8 cysteines. After hydrolysis by endoproteinase Glu-C, their primary sequences were determined. A test of their activities demonstrated that they effectively inhibited muscle contractions induced by electric stimulation. Furthermore, the extent of inhibition caused by NT-II and NT-III was less than that of NT-I. The IC(50)s were 0.04 mug/ml, 0.20 mug/ml, and 0.23 mug/ml for NT-I, NT-II, and NT-III, respectively. Compared with NT-II and NT-III, the higher activity of NT-I may be a result of the amino acid residue substitution Ile36 to Arg36.

Przewalskin A: A new C-23 terpenoid with a 6/6/7 carbon ring skeleton from Salvia przewalskii maxim

Przewalskin A (1), a novel C-23 terpenoid with a 6/6/7 carbon ring skeleton, was isolated from Salvia przewalskii. Its structure was determined by comprehensive 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and MS spectroscopic analysis and subsequently confirmed by a single-crystal X

Report of the pilot EAFM course, 23-28 June, 2013, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Participants were exposed to concepts and information about EAFM using a structured, participatory method of delivery. The learning strategy involved pre- and post-course assessment as well as 4-6 month follow up at outcome level to assess improves EAFM practices. The report outlines methodology details of content and the daily feedback process.

Hierarchical electrohydrodynamic structures for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (adv. Mater. 23/2012).

On page OP 175, U. Steiner and co-workers destabilise polymer trilayer films using an electric field to generate separated micrometre-sized core-shell pillars, which are further modified by selective polymer dissolution to yield polymer core columns surrounded by a rim and micro-volcano rim structures. When coated with gold and decorated with Raman active probes, all three structure types give rise to substantial enhancement in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Since this SERS enhancement arises from each of the isolated structures in the array, these surface patterns are an ideal platform for multiplexed SERS detection.

通过倾斜多晶硅p-n结光电器件提高光电转换性能

本研究针对多晶硅p-n结光伏器件开展工作。基于倾斜光电转换器件的思想，倾斜本研究采用的光电转换器件使入射光线与器件表面法线成75度的夹角，从而使红外光在器件内形成多次全反射。这种内部全反射增加了光在器件内的光程，使得光在器件内的吸收得以增加。从采光的角度上发现，倾斜多晶硅光电转换器件可使器件的光电转换效率提高15%。此外，还发现了由倾斜器件造成开路电压稍微减小的现象并给予了解释。
