ABSTRACTThin films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising for applications such as gas separation, gas storage, optoelectronics or sensing. However, synthesis of polycrystalline MOF films and membranes depends largely on the surface properties of supports, limiting the availability of common supports. It is, therefore, highly desirable to develop ways to modify the surface properties of common supports for the preferred heterogeneous nucleation of the MOFs. Here, we demonstrated that graphene-oxide (GO) can be exploited to readily modify the surface properties of common supports, thereby leading to well inter-grown polycrystalline MOF films. A prototypical zeolitic-imidazolate framework ZIF-8 was chosen as a model MOF system. The stabilization of GO layers with divalent metal ions was found a key step to synthesize well inter-grown ZIF-8 films. The effect of divalent metal ions on the stability of GO layers and the quality of the resulting ZIF-8 films were systematically investigated. Finally, the single gas permeation behaviors of the ZIF-8 films grown on GO-modified supports were tested.

Initial Binding

DNA polymerase plays a critical role in passing the genetic information of any living organism to its offspring. DNA polymerase from enterobacteria phage RB69 (RB69pol) has both polymerization and exonuclease activities and has been extensively studied as a model system for B-family DNA polymerases. Many binary and ternary complex structures of RB69pol are known, and they all contain a single polymerase-primer/template (P/T) DNA complex. Here, we report a crystal structure of the exonuclease-deficient RB69pol with the P/T duplex in a dimeric form at a resolution of 2.2 Å. The structure includes one new closed ternary complex with a single divalent metal ion bound and one new open binary complex in the pre-insertion state with a vacant dNTP-binding pocket. These complexes suggest that initial binding of the correct dNTP in the open state is much weaker than expected and that initial binding of the second divalent metal ion in the closed state is also much weaker than measured. Additional conformational changes are required to convert these complexes to high-affinity states. Thus, the measured affinities for the correct incoming dNTP and divalent metal ions are average values from many conformationally distinctive states. Our structure provides new insights into the order of the complex assembly involving two divalent metal ions. The biological relevance of specific interactions observed between one RB69pol and the P/T duplex bound to the second RB69pol observed within this dimeric complex is discussed.

AbstractThe metal complexes can demonstrate various interesting biological activities in the human body. However, the role of certain metal ions for specific cell activities is still subject to debate. This study is aimed at comparing the thermochemical properties of neotame (artificial sweetener) and α, β-fructose in gas phase and water medium. The interaction of α and β-fructose, neotame with monovalent and divalent metal ions was studied and comprehended by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional, 6–311 + G (d, p) and D3 basis set. Metal ion affinities (MIA) values depicted that ionic radius of metal ions played an important role in the interaction of α, β-fructose and neotame. The ∆G parameter was calculated to predict and understand the interaction of metal ions with α and β-fructose, neotame. The results suggested that the presence of hydroxyl groups and oxygen atoms in sugar molecules acted as preferred sites for the binding and interaction of mono and divalent ions. For the first time computational study has been introduced in the present study to review the progress in the application of metal binding with sugar molecules especially with neotame. Moreover, voltammetric behaviour of neotame-Zn2+ was studied using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The obtained results suggest that the peak at −1.13 V is due to the reduction of Zn2+ in 0.1 M phosphate buffer medium at pH 5.5. Whereas, addition of 6-fold higher concentration of neotame to the ZnCl2.2H2O resulted in a new irreversible cathodic peak at −0.83, due to the reduction of neotame-Zn2+ complex. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicates that the β-amino group (-NH) and carboxyl carbonyl (-C = O) groups of neotame is participating in the chelation process, which is further supported by DFT studies. The findings of this study identify the efficient chelation factors as major contributors into metal ion affinities, with promising possibilities to determine important biological processes in cell wall and glucose transmembrane transport.

ABSTRACT Citrate uptake in Bacillus subtilis is stimulated by a wide range of divalent metal ions. The metal ions were separated into two groups based on the expression pattern of the uptake system. The two groups correlated with the metal ion specificity of two homologousB. subtilis secondary citrate transporters, CitM and CitH, upon expression in Escherichia coli. CitM transported citrate in complex with Mg2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ but not in complex with Ca2+, Ba2+, and Sr2+. CitH transported citrate in complex with Ca2+, Ba2+, and Sr2+ but not in complex with Mg2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Zn2+. Both transporters did not transport free citrate. Nevertheless, free citrate uptake could be demonstrated in B. subtilis, indicating the expression of at least a third citrate transporter, whose identity is not known. For both the CitM and CitH transporters it was demonstrated that the metal ion promoted citrate uptake and, vice versa, that citrate promoted uptake of the metal ion, indicating that the complex is the transported species. The results indicate that CitM and CitH are secondary transporters that transport complexes of divalent metal ions and citrate but with a complementary metal ion specificity. The potential physiological function of the two transporters is discussed.
