Master equation is used in the paper under the condition of dissociation rate to study the directed motion of molecular motor. The drift velocity, the diffusion constant, the dwell time and the mean length of the motor are calculated. We found the dissociation rate affects the directed motion of the molecular motor.

Reaction and interaction dynamics of azobenzene-tethered DNA (photoresponsive DNA) with T7 RNA polymerase (T7RNAP) were studied after photoisomerization of azobenzene from the - to -forms using the transient grating (TG) and time-resolved fluorescence polarization techniques. Two types of photoresponsive DNA were examined: AzoPBD, tethered at the protein binding site, and AzoTATA, tethered at the unwinding site. A diffusion change was observed after photoexcitation of -AzoPBD within 1 ms, and this change is explained in terms of a structural change from a bent to an extended conformation upon the -to- photoisomerization.

Design and synthesis of Pt/TiO catalyst with abundant surface hydroxyl for formaldehyde oxidation.

School of Materials Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, PR China. Electronic address:

Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is a highly effective method for indoor HCHO removal. However, many aspects of the catalytic mechanism remain unclear, making the optimization of catalysts largely empirical. Herein, we report a coupled experimental and computational study of Pt/TiO catalysts, with special focus on the functional roles of surface oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups in the catalytic oxidation of HCHO.

A low oxygen level in solid tumors is behind the modern concept of selective chemotherapy by hypoxia-activated prodrugs, such as heteroleptic complexes of transition metals (cobalt(III), iron(III) or platinum(IV)) with bi- or tetradentate ligands and an anticancer drug molecule as a co-ligand. A series of new cobalt(III) complexes [Co(LR)(esc)]ClO with esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin) and 2,2'-bipyridines (2,2'-bipy) functionalized by different substituents R were probed in the hypoxia-activated delivery of this model anticancer drug. Their combined study by cyclic voltammetry and NMR spectroscopy allowed identifying linear correlations of the electrochemical reduction potentials and the rate of the hypoxia-activated dissociation of [Co(LR)(esc)]ClO with the Hammett constants of the substituents in 2,2'-bipy ligands.

Local Polarization Piezoelectric Electric Field Promoted Water Dissociation for Hydroxyl Radical Generation under Ambient Humidity Condition.

Combining piezocatalysts with mechanical ball milling for dissociating water to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) offers unprecedented opportunities for energy conversion and environmental remediation. However, the in-depth insights into the relationship between water and local polarization piezoelectric electric field (LPPEF) are currently lacking, in particularly, the ·OH formation mechanism in ball milling driven piezocatalyst system is not systematically elucidated. To this end, the present work constructs a ball milling driven piezoelectric solid/liquid interface between piezoelectric PbBOCl (PBOC) and different contents of water to investigate LPPEF initiated catalytic reaction.

The electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of Ru(porphyrin)(NO)(phenoxide) complexes Ru(por)(NO)(OPh) (por = OEP, 1a; TAP, 2a; Ph = CH), Ru(por)(NO)(OAr) (por = OEP, 1b; TAP, 2b; OAr = -OCH-(2-NHC(O)CF)), Ru(por)(NO)(OAr) (por = OEP, 1c; TAP, 2c; OAr = OCH-(2,6-NHC(O)CF); OEP = octaethylporphyrinato dianion, TAP = tetraanisolylporphyrinato dianion) indicate that initial one-electron oxidation results in structure-dependent net reactivity at the phenoxide ligand. Oxidation of 1a generates 1a+, which undergoes a relatively slow rate-limiting second-order follow-up reaction. In contrast, 2a undergoes a diffusion-limited follow-up reaction after oxidation.
