RESUMEN
[reaction: see text] Three organoboron compounds are shown to be two-photon fluorescent sensors for fluoride anion with high sensitivity and selectivity. The recognition mechanism is attributed to the unique steric structure of the bulky dimesitylboryl group and the Lewis acid-base interaction between trivalent boron atom and fluoride anion.
RESUMEN
A successful study on the secondary structure of the isolated photosystem II (PSII) particles with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is reported in this paper. The beta condensation effect is obviously characterized by infrared absorption spectra. The infrared spectra of both living protein and beta condensed protein samples are measured at room temperature. The amide I band in infrared spectrum is used to perform the quantitative analysis of the sample properties. The recorded spectra show the irreversible effect for the PSII particles after the 400 K heating. A rather strong change of the infrared spectra is observed due to the beta condensation of PSII protein. All the spectra are well fitted by 3-Lorentz-peak. The FTIR spectroscopy shows its effectiveness in studying the heating effect on the PSII particles.
