An Efficient Electrochromic Supercapacitor Based on Solution-Processable Nanoporous Poly{tris[4-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)phenyl]amine}.

A new green synthetic route to tris[4-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)phenyl]amine (TEPA) monomer has been developed and the molecular structure of TEPA has been determined by using single-crystal XRD. Solution-processable nanoporous poly{tris[4-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)phenyl]amine} (PTEPA) is prepared by a chemical oxidative polymerization in a microemulsion. Based on the distorted structure of TEPA in the solid state, it is proposed that dendritic PTEPA has a distorted 3 D conformation with multiple twisted channels and pores that are narrowed and blocked by bifurcation and distortion of PTEPA, which is consistent with the observed hierarchical pore structure.

Neutralizing antibodies of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A screened from a fully synthetic human antibody phage display library.

The botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) produced by Clostridium botulinum are the most poisonous protein substances known. The neutralizing antibodies against botulinum neurotoxin can effectively prevent and cure the toxicosis. Using purified Hc fragments of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A-Hc) as antigen, 2 specific neutralizing antibodies mapping different epitopes were selected from a fully synthetic human antibody library.

[Eukaryotic expression of P-selectin functional segment on the membrane of CHO].

Cell adhesive molecular P-selectin was cloned, expressed and anchored on CHO cell membrane through GPI for selection specific antibodies. Total human platelet RNA was extracted and the functional segment of P-selectin gene was cloned by RT-PCR. The P-selectin functional segment gene was cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector pMCEw2-GPI containing an attenuated neo gene together with a downstream GPI, which was synthesized by overlapping PCR.
