Crystal structure of the N domain of Lon protease from Mycobacterium avium complex.
Lon protease is evolutionarily conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotic organelles. The primary function of Lon is to selectively degrade abnormal and certain regulatory proteins to maintain the homeostasis in vivo. Lon mainly consists of three functional domains and the N-terminal domain is required for the substrate selection and recognition. However, the precise contribution of the N-terminal domain remains elusive. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal 192-residue construct of Lon protease from Mycobacterium avium complex at 2.4 å resolution,and measured NMR-relaxation parameters of backbones. This structure consists of two subdomains, the β-strand rich N-terminal subdomain and the five-helix bundle of C-terminal subdomain, connected by a flexible linker,and is similar to the overall structure of the N domain of Escherichia coli Lon even though their sequence identity is only 26%. The obtained NMR-relaxation parameters reveal two stabilized loops involved in the structural packing of the compact N domain and a turn structure formation. The performed homology comparison suggests that structural and sequence variations in the N domain may be closely related to the substrate selectivity of Lon variants. Our results provide the structure and dynamics characterization of a new Lon N domain, and will help to define the precise contribution of the Lon N-terminal domain to the substrate recognition
Organocatalytic, Enantioselective Reductive Bis-functionalization of Secondary Amides: One-Pot Construction of Chiral 2,2-Disubstituted 3-Iminoindoline.
We report the first catalytic, enantioselective reductive bis-functionalization of common amides, which provides a facile access to a variety of 2,2-disubstituted 3-iminoindolines in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. The reaction conditions are quite mild and can be run on a gram scale. In this one-pot reaction, three C-C bonds, one ring, and one nitrogen-containing tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter are created in a catalytic enantioselective manner
锂离子电池三元层状氧化物正极材料失效模式分析
镍钴锰三元层状氧化物(NCM)正极材料由于其优越的综合性能在动力/储能电池系统(ESS)领域得到广泛应用。虽然Ni含量的增加可提高三元材料的比容量及电池的能量密度,但相关电池体系的容量保持率和安全性将会变差。如何有效解决该矛盾是此类NCM电池所面临的关键问题。本文从NCM电池体系循环过程中常见的体相结构破坏和正极-电解液界面组成改变两方面失效现象出发,结合近年来国内外对NCM失效模式研究中所提出的新理论、方法、应用,从机械破坏、结构演变、电化学极化、化学副反应、正负极协同效应等多个角度对NCM材料的衰退机理提出见解,对指导电池用户合理制定充放电协议、缓解电动汽车(EV)里程焦虑乃至材料设计本身均有重要的指导及借鉴意义。国家重点研发计划资助(2018YFB0104400,2018YFB0905400

Three-dimensional carbon-based anodes promoted the accumulation of exoelectrogens in bioelectrochemical systems.
To achieve deep understandings on the effects of structure and surface properties of anode material on the performance of bioelectrochemical systems, the present research investigated the bacterial community structures of biofilms attached to different three-dimensional anodes including carbon felt and materials derived from pomelo peel, kenaf stem, and cardboard with 454 pyrosequencing analysis based on the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. The results showed that bacterial community structures, especially the relative abundance of exoelectrogens, were significantly related to the types of adopted three-dimensional anode materials. Proteobacteria was the shared predominant phylum, accounting for 55.4%, 52.1%, 66.7%, and 56.1% for carbon felt, cardboard, pomelo peel, and kenaf stem carbon, respectively. The most abundant OTU was phylogenetically related to the well-known exoelectrogen of Geobacter, with a relative abundance of 16.3%, 19.0%, 36.3%, and 28.6% in carbon felt, cardboard, pomelo peel, and kenaf stem, respectively. Moreover, another exoelectrogen of Pseudomonas sp. accounted for 4.9% in kenaf stem and 3.9% in carbonboard, respectively. The results implied the macrostructure and properties of different anode materials might result in different niches such as hydrodynamics and substrate transport dynamics, leading to different bacterial structure, especially different relative abundance of exoelectrogens, which consequently affected the performance of bioelectrochemical systems. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) represent a novel biotechnology platform to simultaneously treat wastewaters and produce electrical power. Three-dimensional materials derived from nature plant as anode to promote electricity output from BESs and reduce the construct cost of BESs. Macrostructure of the three-dimensional anode material affected phylotype richness and phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms in anodic biofilm of BESs. Geobacter as well-known exoelectrogen was the most abundant in biofilm attached to three-dimensional anode
