Early stage toxicity of excess copper to photosystem II of Chlorella pyrenoidosa–OJIP chlorophyll a fluorescence analysis

Acute toxicity of excess Cu on the photosynthetic performance of Chlorella pyrenoidosa was examined by using chlorophyll a fluorescence transients and JIP-test after exposure to elevated Cu concentrations for a short time period. High Cu concentration resulted in a significant suppression in photosynthesis and respiration. The absorption flux (ABS/RC) per PSII reaction center increased with increasing Cu concentration, but the electron transport flux (ET₀/RC) decreased. Excess Cu had an insignificant effect on the trapping flux (TR₀/RC). The decline in the efficiency, with which a trapped exciton can move an electron into the electron transport chain further than Q_A−(Ψ₀), the maximal quantum yield of primary photochemistry (?_P0), and the quantum yield of electron transport (?_E0) were also observed. The amount of active PSII reaction centers per excited cross section (RC/CS) was also in consistency with the change of photosynthesis when cells were exposed to excess Cu concentration. JIP-test parameters had a good linear relationship with photosynthetic O₂ evolution. These results suggested that the decrease of photosynthesis in exposure to excess Cu may be a result of the inactivation of PSII reaction centers and the inhibition of electron transport in the acceptor side.     

超滤、三维荧光光谱与高效体积排阻色谱联合表征地表水环境中溶解有机质的性质

超滤、三维荧光光谱以及高效体积排阻色谱3种研究方法的结合可以表征不同类型荧光物质的相对分子质量分布规律,进而揭示它们的来源以及组分差异.用截留相对分子质量为1 000的再生纤维素超滤膜对几种不同类型地表水体中的溶解有机质进行分离后,利用三维荧光光谱以及相对分子质量分布特征谱图表征超滤完成后滞留液中相对分子质量较高的组分和渗透液中相对分子质量较低的组分中溶解有机质的性质.结果发现,湖北神农架大九湖沼泽水中原先被强腐殖酸荧光吸收峰E(Ex/Em: 360 nm/462 nm)掩盖的类富里酸荧光吸收峰A(Ex/Em: 260 nm/450 nm)和C(Ex/Em: 320 nm/439 nm)以及类蛋白荧光吸收峰B(Ex/Em: 275 nm/312 nm)和D(Ex/Em: 220 nm/308 nm)因其相对分子质量较小而被分离进入渗透液中,可被荧光检测;贵州红枫湖南湖内源产生的类蛋白荧光吸收峰B(Ex/Em: 280 nm/334 nm)和D(Ex/Em: 225 nm/328 nm)在原水中含量太低,即使采用灵敏度高的荧光检测手段也很难从原水中直接鉴别出来,但超滤后却因其相对分子质量大而被保存在超滤滞留液中.此外,研究还发现不同来源的类富里酸荧光物质和类蛋白荧光物质其相对分子质量大小也存在差异.如红枫湖南湖内源产生的类蛋白荧光物质具有较大的相对分子质量分布,被保存在超滤滞留液中;而贵州阿哈湖外源输入的类蛋白荧光物质相对分子质量则较小,易通过超滤膜进入渗透液中.因此, 3种研究方法的联合可以为研究地表水体中溶解有机质的性质提供方便直接的定性信息.     

Combined fluorescence and electrochemical investigation on the binding interaction between organic acid and human serum albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a plasma protein responsible for the binding and transport of fatty acids and a variety of exogenous chemicals such as drugs and environmental pollutants. Such binding plays a crucial role in determining the ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and bioavailability of the pollutants. We report investigation on the binding interaction between HSA and acetic acid (C2), octanoic acid (C8) and dodecanoic acid (C12) by the combination of site-specific fluorescent probe, tryptophan intrinsic fluorescence and tyrosine electrochemistry. Two fluorescent probes, dansylamide and dansyl-L-proline, were employed in the displacement measurement to study fatty acid interaction with the two drug-binding sites on HSA. Intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan in HSA was monitored upon addition of the fatty acids into HSA. Electrocatalyzed response of the tyrosine residues in HSA by a redox mediator was used to investigate the binding interaction. Qualitatively, observations made by the three approaches are very similar. HSA did not show any change in either fluorescence or electrochemistry after mixing with C2, suggesting there is no significant interaction with the short-chain fatty acid. For C8, the measured signal dropped in a single-exponential fashion, indicative of independent and non-cooperative binding. The calculated association constant and binding ratio is 3.1×106 L/mol and 1 with drug binding Site I, 1.1×107 L/mol and 1 with Site II, and 7.0×104 L/mol and 4 with the tryptophan site. The measurement with C12 displayed multiple phases of fluorescence change, suggesting cooperativity and allosteric effect of C12 binding. These results correlate well with those obtained by the established methods, and validate the new approach as a viable tool to study the interactions of environmental pollutants with biological molecules.

水温和pH对饮用水中铝形态分布的影响

铝对输配水系统及人体健康的影响主要与其存在形态有关.本研究采用硫酸铝模拟配水考察了水温和pH对溶液中铝形态分布的影响情况.考察的主要铝形态包括单核铝、溶解铝、悬浮铝和多核铝;采用的形态分析方法为荧光分光光度法.结果表明:当pH=6.5时,悬浮铝为饮用水中铝的主要存在形态,在总铝中的质量分数为62.2%;而当pH>7.0时,单核铝为主要形态,且随反应时间的增加变化不大.各水质条件下的多核铝浓度均较低,且随反应时间的变化也不大.水温对铝形态的影响与pH是一致的,由pOH可将二者统一起来.通过调节pOH可以实现饮用水中铝形态的控制,这将对输配水系统的运行管理及铝毒性控制提供理论依据.
