Published: November 2016

Stimuli‐responsive supramolecular materials are of paramount importance for a broad range of applications. It is essential to impart versatility, sustainability, and scalability into these materials. Herein the authors report the design and synthesis of a new class of thermochromic supramolecular materials, which can easily be processed from water via a reversible sol–gel transition. The supramolecular materials are composed of a bis‐bipyridinium acceptor, a π‐electron‐rich naphthalene derivative donor, and halogen counterions. Long helical nanofibers can be assembled in water, gelating at room temperature. Inked designs, thin films, and aerogels are solution‐processed to exhibit thermochromic behavior based on competing π → π* and n → π* charge transfer interactions. By using different π‐electron rich donors, and counterions, the authors demonstrate that both the color observed at room temperature and at high temperatures can be tailored. The results open up the door to develop novel amphiphile‐based thermochromes with water processability and a large tunable color palette.
Contextualizing the Psychosocial Well‐being of Military Members and Their Partners: The Importance of Community and Relationship Provisions
Authors: O'Neal Catherine Walker , Mancini Jay A. , DeGraff Alycia
Published: November 2016

Evidence of the impact of communities has been documented for a variety of individual and relational outcomes, including mental and physical health as well as the quality of romantic and parent–child relationships. The military represents a rather unique work context; in that, it is generally considered a lifestyle with a distinct culture and community. Yet, military families are also members of their broader, comprehensive community. Drawing from the social organizational theory of action and change (SOC) (Mancini & Bowen, 2013), and relationship provisions theory (Weiss, 1969) and utilizing a sample of 266 active duty military families, this study examined connectedness with the military community and the broader, comprehensive community. A dyadic model was evaluated whereby each partner's perspective of their comprehensive and military community was hypothesized to influence their own psychosocial well‐being as well as their partner's psychosocial well‐being. The role of relationship provisions (that is, having relationship needs met) as a mechanism linking community connections to psychosocial well‐being was also examined. Overall, the findings supported the hypothesized model, particularly for intra‐individual effects and military members. Findings emphasize the importance of considering what is gained from connections within a community rather than a focus solely on the connections themselves.
Design and Enantioselective Construction of Axially Chiral Naphthyl‐Indole Skeletons
Authors: Zhang Hong‐Hao , Wang Cong‐Shuai , Li Can , Mei Guang‐Jian , Li Yuxue , Shi Feng
Published: November 2016

The first enantioselective construction of a new class of axially chiral naphthyl‐indole skeletons has been established by organocatalytic asymmetric coupling reactions of 2‐naphthols with 2‐indolylmethanols (up to 99 % yield, 97:3 e.r.). This approach not only affords a new type of axially chiral heterobiaryl backbone, but also provides a new catalytic enantioselective strategy for constructing axially chiral biaryl scaffolds by making use of the C3‐electrophilicity of 2‐indolylmethanols.
Site Preference in Multimetallic Nanoclusters: Incorporation of Alkali Metal Ions or Copper Atoms into the Alkynyl‐Protected Body‐Centered Cubic Cluster [Au7Ag8(C≡CtBu)12]+
Authors: Wang Yu , Su Haifeng , Ren Liting , Malola Sami , Lin Shuichao , Teo Boon K. , Häkkinen Hannu , Zheng Nanfeng
Published: November 2016

The synthesis, structure, substitution chemistry, and optical properties of the gold‐centered cubic monocationic cluster [Au@Ag8@Au6(C≡CtBu)12]+ are reported. The metal framework of this cluster can be described as a fragment of a body‐centered cubic (bcc) lattice with the silver and gold atoms occupying the vertices and the body center of the cube, respectively. The incorporation of alkali metal atoms gave rise to [MnAg8−nAu7(C≡CtBu)12]+ clusters (n=1 for M=Na, K, Rb, Cs and n=2 for M=K, Rb), with the alkali metal ion(s) presumably occupying the vertex site(s), whereas the incorporation of copper atoms produced [CunAg8Au7−n(C≡CtBu)12]+ clusters (n=1–6), with the Cu atom(s) presumably occupying the capping site(s). The parent cluster exhibited strong emission in the near‐IR region (λmax=818 nm) with a quantum yield of 2 % upon excitation at λ=482 nm. Its photoluminescence was quenched upon substitution with a Na+ ion. DFT calculations confirmed the superatom characteristics of the title compound and the sodium‐substituted derivatives.
pH‐Controlled Formation of a Stable β‐Sheet and Amyloid‐like Fibers from an Amphiphilic Peptide: The Importance of a Tailor‐Made Binding Motif for Secondary Structure Formation
Authors: Jana Poulami , Ehlers Martin , Zellermann Elio , Samanta Krishnananda , Schmuck Carsten
Published: November 2016

The new amphiphilic peptide 1 is composed of alternating cyclohexyl side chains and guanidiniocarbonyl pyrrole (GCP) groups. In contrast to analogue 2, which contains lysine instead of the GCP groups and only exists as a random coil owing to charge repulsion, peptide 1 forms a stable β‐sheet at neutral pH in aqueous medium. The weakly basic GCP groups (pKa≈7) are key for secondary structure formation as they stabilize the β‐sheet through mutual interactions (formation of a “GCP zipper”). The β‐sheets further aggregate into left‐handed helically twisted fibers. However, β‐sheet formation is completely reversible as a function of pH. At low pH (ca. 4), peptide 1 is unstructured (random coil) as all GCP units are protonated. Only round colloidal particles are observed. The amyloid nature of the fibers formed at neutral pH was confirmed by staining experiments with Congo Red and thioflavin T. Furthermore, at millimolar concentrations, peptide 1 forms a stable hydrogel.
Role of Achiral Nucleobases in Multicomponent Chiral Self‐Assembly: Purine‐Triggered Helix and Chirality Transfer
Authors: Deng Ming , Zhang Li , Jiang Yuqian , Liu Minghua
Published: November 2016

Chiral self‐assembly is a basic process in biological systems, where many chiral biomolecules such as amino acids and sugars play important roles. Achiral nucleobases usually covalently bond to saccharides and play a significant role in the formation of the double helix structure. However, it remains unclear how the achiral nucleobases can function in chiral self‐assembly without the sugar modification. Herein, we have clarified that purine nucleobases could trigger N‐(9‐fluorenylmethox‐ycarbonyl) (Fmoc)‐protected glutamic acid to self‐assemble into helical nanostructures. Moreover, the helical nanostructure could serve as a matrix and transfer the chirality to an achiral fluorescence probe, thioflavin T (ThT). Upon chirality transfer, the ThT showed not only supramolecular chirality but also circular polarized fluorescence (CPL). Without the nucleobase, the self‐assembly processes cannot happen, thus providing an example where achiral molecules played an essential role in the expression and transfer of the chirality.
Zur Mindestquerkraftbewehrung von Stahlbetonbalken
Authors: Kley Christina , Mark Peter
Published: November 2016

Der Ansatz einer definierten Mindestmenge an Querkraftbewehrung soll, bei gleichzeitiger Einhaltung konstruktiver Regeln, ein duktiles Tragverhalten von Stahlbetonbalken sicherstellen. Bei Unterschreitung der geforderten Bewehrungsmenge muss allerdings nicht zwingend sprödes Versagen auftreten. Abhängig von Position und Menge der vorhandenen Bewehrung, dem Einfluss weiterer Traganteile sowie der Rissbildung ist eine Übernahme der Risslast, auch inklusive anschließender Laststeigerung und sinnvoller Schubrissbreitenbeschränkungen, möglich. Dies ist zur Bewertung von schwach querkraftbewehrten Bestandsbauwerken als „ausreichend duktil” hilfreich. In Balkenversuchen an schwach querkraftbewehrten Stahlbetonbauteilen werden Trag‐ und Verformungsverhaltensweisen unter Berücksichtigung des kritischen Versagensrisses und der konstruktiven Umsetzung analysiert und in Bezug auf nötige Mindestquerkraftbewehrungsmengen bewertet. Dabei werden der Schubwiderstand sowie die Bügelwirksamkeit im identifizierten effektiven Schubbereich untersucht und Hinweise für die praktische Umsetzung abgeleitet.
Schubversuche an simulierten Durchlaufbalken ohne Querkraftbewehrung
Authors: Tue Nguyen Viet , Ehmann Rainer , Betschoga Christoph , Tung Nguyen Duc
Published: November 2016

Der vorliegende Aufsatz präsentiert eine experimentelle Untersuchung zum Querkraftverhalten von Durchlaufbalken ohne Querkraftbewehrung. Fünf rechteckige zweifeldrige Stahlbetonbalken wurden hierbei mit einer Gleichstreckenlast getestet. Die Felder wurden so geteilt, dass jeder Balken ein langes Hauptfeld als untersuchtes Feld und ein kurzes, stark querkraftbewehrtes Feld besaß. Die Lagerkraft am Endauflager des kurzen Felds wurde während der Versuchsdurchführung modifiziert. Dadurch konnten verschiedene M/V‐Verhältnisse am Hauptfeld eingestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen erhebliche Unterschiede sowohl bei der Versagensstelle als auch bei der Querkrafttragfähigkeit am untersuchten Feld bei unterschiedlichen M/V‐Verhältnissen. Mit den Versuchsergebnissen kann festgestellt werden, dass die Querkrafttragfähigkeit keine reine Querschnitts‐, sondern vielmehr eine Systemeigenschaft darstellt. Eine solche Betrachtung ist auf Grundlage der vorhandenen Ansätze, einschließlich des aktuellen Eurocode, nicht möglich.

Das beobachtete Verhalten in den Versuchen konnte mit dem jüngst entwickelten Ansatz im Allgemeinen gut begründet und interpretiert werden. Aufgrund der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden Anmerkungen für die Versuchsgestaltung gegeben, sodass praxisgerechte experimentelle Ergebnisse erhalten werden können. Dies soll dazu beitragen, das komplexe Querkraftverhalten von Durchlaufbalken in naher Zukunft besser verstehen zu können.
Querkraftwiderstand von Stahlbetonbauteilen ohne Querkraftbewehrung
Authors: Marti Peter , Beck Alexander
Published: November 2016

Eine neue Modellvorstellung zum Querkraftwiderstand von Stahlbetonbauteilen ohne Querkraftbewehrung wird beschrieben. Betrachtet werden Schnittkörper, die einseitig durch einen fiktiven, unter π/4 zum Zuggurt geneigten Riss begrenzt sind, der sich vom Zuggurt zum Druckgurt erstreckt. Es wird angenommen, dass die über einen Riss übertragbare Schubspannung mit zunehmender Rissbreite linear abnimmt und dass die Rissbreite auf der Höhe des Zuggurts zur Zuggurtdehnung im Riss und zum Gurtabstand proportional ist. Damit resultiert bei elastisch bleibender Bewehrung ein linear‐hyper bolischer Zusammenhang zwischen dem Querkraftwiderstand und der Zuggurtkraft am Riss, und die maßgebende Risslage sowie alle weiteren interessierenden Größen können über Gleichgewichtsbetrachtungen ermittelt werden. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass die Risslage wegen der möglichen direkten Abstützung auflagernaher Lasten eingeschränkt ist; es wird angenommen, dass die entsprechende Länge gleich dem doppelten Gurtabstand ist.

Published: November 2016

In den letzten Jahren wurde vermehrt darüber berichtet, dass es in Österreich im Zuge von statischen Nachrechnungen nach dem aktuellen Normenstand vor allem bei Spannbetonbrücken, welche vor 1989 errichtet wurden, sehr häufig zu rechnerischen Defiziten in der Querkrafttragfähigkeit kommt. Wie Versuchsergebnisse jedoch belegen, verfügen gerade vorgespannte Tragwerke über immense Tragreserven, welche mit den derzeit anzuwendenden Ansätzen nicht abgebildet werden können. Im Rahmen eines Pilotprojekts wurde daher erstmals ein an der TU Wien entwickeltes Querkraft‐Berechnungsmodell („Flexural Shear Crack”‐Modell) angewendet. In diesem Artikel werden die Vorgehensweise sowie die Ergebnisse einer statischen Beurteilung auf Basis eines in Zonen eingeteilten Nachweiskonzepts an einer realen Spannbetonstraßenbrücke auf der Tauernautobahn A10 in Österreich demonstriert.
Spectroscopic insight into the interaction of bovine serum albumin with imidazolium‐based ionic liquids in aqueous solution
Authors: Satish Lakkoji , Millan Sabera , Sahoo Harekrushna
Published: November 2016

The study of protein–ionic liquid interactions is very important because of the widespread use of ionic liquids as protein stabilizer in the recent years. In this work, the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with different imidazolium‐based ionic liquids (ILs) such as [1‐ethyl‐3‐methyl‐imidazolium ethyl sulfate (EmimESO4), 1‐ethyl‐3‐methyl‐imidazolium chloride (EmimCl) and 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl‐imidazolium chloride (BmimCl)] has been investigated using different spectroscopic techniques. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA is quenched by ILs by the dynamic mechanism. The thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that very weak interactions exist between BSA and ILs. 8‐Anilino‐1‐naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence and lifetime measurements reveal the formation of the compact structure of BSA in IL medium. The conformational changes of BSA were monitored by CD analysis. Temperature‐dependent ultraviolet (UV) measurements were done to study the thermal stability of BSA. The thermal stability of BSA in the presence of ILs follows the trend EmimESO4 > EmimCl > BmimCl and in the presence of more hydrophobic IL, destabilization increases rapidly as a function of concentration.

Published: November 2016

Heterotrophic oleaginous microorganisms continue to draw interest as they can accumulate a large amount of lipids which is a promising feedstock for the production of biofuels and oleochemicals. Nutrient limitation, especially nitrogen limitation, is known to effectively trigger the lipid production in these microorganisms. For the aim of developing improved strains, the mechanisms behind the lipid production have been studied for a long time. Nowadays, system‐level understanding of their metabolism and associated metabolic switches is attainable with modern systems biology tools. This work reviews the systems biology studies, based on (i) top‐down, large‐scale ‘omics’ tools, and (ii) bottom‐up, mathematical modeling methods, on the heterotrophic oleaginous microorganisms with an emphasis on further application to metabolic engineering.
Semester‐long inquiry‐based molecular biology laboratory: Transcriptional regulation in yeast
Authors: Oelkers Peter M.
Published: November 2016

A single semester molecular biology laboratory has been developed in which students design and execute a project examining transcriptional regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Three weeks of planning are allocated to developing a hypothesis through literature searches and use of bioinformatics. Common experimental plans address a cell process and how three genes that encode for proteins involved in that process are transcriptionally regulated in response to changing environmental conditions. Planning includes designing oligonucleotides to amplify the putative promoters of the three genes of interest. After the PCR, each product is cloned proximal to β‐galactosidase in a yeast reporter plasmid. Techniques used include agarose electrophoresis, extraction of DNA from agarose, plasmid purification from bacteria, restriction digestion, ligation, and bacterial transformation. This promoter/reporter plasmid is then transformed into yeast. Transformed yeast are cultured in conditions prescribed in the experimental design, lysed and β‐galactosidase activity is measured. The course provides an independent research experience in a group setting. Notebooks are maintained on‐line with regular feedback. Projects culminate with the presentation of a poster worth 60% of the grade. Over the last three years, about 65% of students met expectations for experimental design, data acquisition, and analysis. © 2016 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 45(2):145–151, 2017.
Identification and quantification of thymol metabolites in plasma, liver and duodenal wall of broiler chickens using UHPLC‐ESI‐QTOF‐MS

Published: November 2016

In the present study, we aimed to develop a method for thymol sulfate and thymol glucuronide determination in plasma, liver and duodenal wall of broiler chickens after feeding with a Thymus vulgaris essential oil at the different concentrations (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1% w/w). UHPLC coupled with accurate‐mass QTOF‐MS was used for identification and quantification of thymol metabolites. Novel Waters Oasis Prime HLB solid‐phase extraction cartridges were applied to sample clean‐up with extraction recoveries ranged from 85 to 92%. The presence of thymol glucuronide was confirmed by MS software according to molecular formula, score, mass error and double bond equivalent. In terms of validation, calibration curves of thymol sulfate were constructed in matrix samples with linearity from 3.91 to 250.0 ng/mL and correlation coefficients were within the range of 0.9979–0.9995. Limits of detection were 0.97, 0.29 and 0.63 ng/mL and limits of quantification were 3.23, 0.97 and 2.09 ng/mL for plasma, liver and duodenal wall, respectively. Intra‐day and inter‐day precision expressed as relative standard deviation were <4.35%. To highlight, thymol metabolites were directly detected for the first time in liver and duodenal wall and this method was shown to be successfully applicable for investigation of thymol metabolism in chickens after thyme essential oil ingestion.

Published: November 2016

Background

In structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of patients with a recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI) and small vessel disease (SVD) imaging markers coexist. However, their spatial distribution and prevalence with respect to the hemisphere of the RSSI remain unknown.

Materials and Methods

From brain MRI in 187 patients with an acute lacunar ischemic stroke clinical syndrome and a relevant diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)‐positive lesion, we semiautomatically extracted the RSSI, microbleeds, lacunes, old cortical infarcts, and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) using optimized thresholding in the relevant sequences, and rated the load of perivascular spaces. We registered all images to an age‐relevant brain template and calculated the probability distribution of all SVD markers mentioned for patients who had the RSSI in each hemisphere separately. We used the Wilcoxon and chi‐squared tests to compare the volumes and frequencies of occurrence, respectively, of the SVD markers between hemispheres throughout the sample.

Results

Fifty‐two percent patients (n = 97) had the RSSI in the left hemisphere, 42% (n = 78) in the right, 2.7% (n = 5) in both, and 3.7% (n = 7) in the cerebellum or brainstem. There was no significant difference in RSSI frequency between left and right hemispheres (p = .10) in the sample. The median volume of the RSSI (expressed as a percentage of the total intracranial volume) was 0.05% (IQR = 0.06). There was no difference in median percent volume of the right RSSIs versus left (p = .16). Neither was there a significant interhemispheric difference in the volume of any of the SVD markers regardless of the location of the RSSI and they were equally distributed in both hemispheres.

Conclusion

Assessment of SVD imaging markers in the contralateral hemisphere could be used as a proxy for the SVD load in the whole brain to avoid contamination by the RSSI of the measurements, especially of WMH.
A Highly Porous Carbon Support Rich in Graphitic‐N Stabilizes Copper Nanocatalysts for Efficient Ethanol Dehydrogenation
Authors: Zhang Peng , Wang Qing‐Nan , Yang Xia , Wang Dongqi , Li Wen‐Cui , Zheng Yanping , Chen Mingshu , Lu An‐Hui
Published: November 2016

The dehydrogenation of bioethanol to acetaldehyde and hydrogen is a sustainable process, owing to the atom‐economical transformation and easy separation of the products. However, oxide‐supported Cu catalysts show a low selectivity to acetaldehyde because of considerable side reactions caused by their oxygen‐rich surfaces. A conventional carbon‐supported Cu catalyst shows high selectivity, but is quickly deactivated owing to the migration and agglomeration of copper particles. Here, we have produced a highly porous nitrogen‐rich carbon support that contains 6.2 wt % N and can nicely disperse and stabilize Cu nanoparticles (∼6.3 nm). If used for ethanol dehydrogenation, approximately 98 % selectivity to acetaldehyde has been achieved, with excellent anti‐agglomeration ability for as long as 500 min. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data prove that electrons transfer to the Cu particles from the N sites. Theoretical calculations further show that nitrogen sites enhance the adsorption of Cu20 clusters and can stabilize them against coalescence and that graphitic‐N sites (approximately 40 % of total N content) are the most significant.

The K‐Ras GTPase is a major target in anticancer drug discovery. However, direct interference with signaling by K‐Ras has not led to clinically useful drugs yet. Correct localization and signaling by farnesylated K‐Ras is regulated by the prenyl binding protein PDEδ. Interfering with binding of PDEδ to K‐Ras by means of small molecules provides a novel opportunity to suppress oncogenic signaling. Here we describe the identification and structure‐guided development of novel K‐Ras–PDEδ inhibitor chemotypes based on pyrrolopyridazinones and pyrazolopyridazinones that bind to the farnesyl binding pocket of PDEδ with low nanomolar affinity. We delineate the structure–property relationship and in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetic (Tox) studies for pyrazolopyridazinone‐based K‐Ras–PDEδ inhibitors. These findings may inspire novel drug discovery efforts aimed at the development of drugs targeting oncogenic Ras.
Heavier Group 13 Metal(I) Heterocycles Stabilized by Sterically Demanding Diiminophosphinates: A Structurally Characterized Monomer–Dimer Pair For Gallium

Published: November 2016

We have synthesized and characterized the monomeric diiminophosphinate‐stabilized Group 13 metal(I) complexes [DipLE:], DipL=Ph2P(NDip)2, Dip=2,6‐iPr2C6H3; E=Ga (1), In (2) and Tl (3). In addition, we structurally characterized the dimeric complex [(DipLGa)2], 12. Similar synthetic attempts using MesL=Ph2P(NMes)2, Mes=2,4,6‐Me3C6H2 afforded product mixtures from which the mixed oxidation state species [(MesL)3Ga4I3] 4 was isolated. [DipLGa:] 1 is converted with dry air to the gallium(III) oxide species [(DipLGaO)2] 5. Density Functional Theory studies on [DipLE:] and [(DipLE)2], E=Al−Tl, shed light on the bonding in these compounds and show that the newly formed E−E bonding interactions can be described as weak single σ‐bond with no significant π‐bonding contribution for E=Al, Ga. A large contribution to the dimer binding enthalpies results from London dispersion forces.

Published: November 2016

Multifunctional nanoparticles have attracted significant interest as biomedical vehicles, combining diagnostic, imaging, and therapeutic properties. We describe herein the construction of new nanoparticle conjugates comprising WS2 nanorods (NRs) coupled to fluorescent carbon dots (C‐dots). We show that the WS2‐C‐dot hybrids integrate the unique physical properties of the two species, specifically the photothermal activity of the WS2 NRs upon irradiation with near‐infrared (NIR) light and the excitation‐dependent luminescence emission of the C‐dots. The WS2‐C‐dot NRs have been shown to be non‐cytotoxic and have been successfully employed for multicolour cell imaging and targeted cell killing under NIR irradiation, pointing to their potential utilization as effective therapeutic vehicles.
