Abstract We studied the Cm(III) retention by calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), portlandite (Ca(OH)2) and their alteration products calcite, vaterite, and aragonite in high ionic strength carbonate-containing solutions representing specific formation waters. For this, we synthesized C-S-H gels with calcium to silicon (C/S) ratios of 1.0 and 2.0 in the absence and presence of Cm(III), resulting in Cm(III)-free and Cm(III) doped C-S-H gel, respectively. For phase identification purposes we applied X-ray diffraction (XRD) while for the identification of the Cm(III)/C-S-H binding mode we applied site-selective time-resolved laser-induced luminescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). The stability of Cm(III) doped phases under repository-relevant conditions was evaluated by studying the time-dependent release of Cm(III) from the Cm(III) doped C-S-H gel into leaching solutions containing 0.02 M NaHCO3 or 2.5 M NaCl/0.02 M NaHCO3 over 60 d. Speciation changes of Cm(III) due to leaching were followed with TRLFS while C-S-H structure alterations and secondary phase formation were monitored with XRD. From the results it could be concluded that Cm(III) is not mobilized by aqueous carbonate but either remains incorporated in the C-S-H structure and portlandite or becomes partially re-immobilized into secondary CaCO3 phases. The presence of NaCl led to an accelerated conversion of metastable secondary CaCO3 phases into calcite.

AbstractDesign of next-generation therapeutics comes with new challenges and emulates technology and methods to meet them. Characterizing the binding of either natural ligands or therapeutic proteins to cell-surface receptors, for which relevant recombinant versions may not exist, represents one of these challenges. Here we report the characterization of the interaction of five different antibody therapeutics (Trastuzumab, Rituximab, Panitumumab, Pertuzumab, and Cetuximab) with their cognate target receptors using LigandTracer. The method offers the advantage of being performed on live cells, alleviating the need for a recombinant source of the receptor. Furthermore, time-resolved measurements, in addition to allowing the determination of the affinity of the studied drug to its target, give access to the binding kinetics thereby providing a full characterization of the system. In this study, we also compared time-resolved LigandTracer data with end-point KD determination from flow cytometry experiments and hypothesize that discrepancies between these two approaches, when they exist, generally come from flow cytometry titration curves being acquired prior to full equilibration of the system. Our data, however, show that knowledge of the kinetics of the interaction allows to reconcile the data obtained by flow cytometry and LigandTracer and demonstrate the complementarity of these two methods.

Nitrenium ions are important reactive intermediates in chemistry and biology. In this work, femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption (fs-TA and ns-TA) along with nanosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ns-TR3) experiments were employed to examine the photochemical pathways of N-(4,4′-dibromodiphenylamino)-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium BF4− (salt (DN) from just absorption of a photon of light to the production of the important N,N-di(4-bromophenyl)nitrenium ion 2. In acetonitrile (MeCN), the formation of halogenated diarylnitrenium ion 2 was observed within 4 ps, showing the vibrational spectra with strong intensity. The nucleophilic adduct reaction of ion 2 with H2O was also examined in aqueous solutions. The direct detection of the unique ortho adduct intermediate 3 shows that there is an efficient and exclusive reaction pathway for 2 with H2O. The results shown in this paper give new characterization of 2, which can be used to design time-resolved spectroscopy investigations of covalent addition reactions of nitrenium ions with other molecules in future studies.
