Transformation of thiolated chitosan-templated gold nanoparticles to huge microcubes

Journal Article Sun, Yudie ; Institute of Intelligent Machines, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031 ; Liu, Honglin, E-mail: hlliu@iim.ac.cn ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Mercapto groups were grafted to chitosan molecule by a reactive amine reduction. • Functional polymer with well-defined monomer units controls AuNPs assembly. • Assembled morphologies depend on the ratio of AuNPs to thiolate groups. • Microcubes with side length of ∼20 μm was synthesized through a dialysis step. • A edge-to-middle growth mechanism of gold microcubes was observed. - Abstract: The L-cysteine molecules were successfully grafted to the 2-amino group of chitosan by a reactive amine reduction, and the as-synthesized thiolated chitosan (TC) molecules were used as the templates to direct the self-assembly of goldmore »« less

Structure and conformational plasticity of the U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein core

Journal Article Montemayor, Eric J. ; Didychuk, Allison L. ; Liao, Honghong ; ... - Acta Crystallographica. Section D. Structural Biology

U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is a key component of the active site of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex that catalyzes the splicing of precursor messenger RNA. Prior to its incorporation into the spliceosome, U6 is bound by the protein Prp24, which facilitates unwinding of the U6 internal stem-loop (ISL) so that it can pair with U4 snRNA. A previously reported crystal structure of the `core' of the U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) contained an ISL-stabilized A62G mutant of U6 bound to all four RNA-recognition motif (RRM) domains of Prp24 [Montemayoret al.(2014),Nature Struct. Mol. Biol.21, 544–551]. The structure revealedmore »« less

GOLD CLUSTER LABELS AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES IN MOLECULAR MORPHOLOGY.

Book HAINFELD,J.F. ; POWELL,R.D.

Although intensely colored, even the largest colloidal gold particles are not, on their own, sufficiently colored for routine use as a light microscopy stain: only with very abundant antigens or with specialized illumination methods can bound gold be seen. Colloidal gold probes were developed primarily as markers for electron microscopy, for which their very high electron density and selectivity for narrow size distributions when prepared in different ways rendered them highly suited. The widespread use of gold labeling for light microscopy was made possible by the introduction of autometallographic enhancement methods. In these processes, the bound gold particles are exposedmore »« less

Beyond the staple motif: a new order at the thiolate–gold interface

Journal Article Hu, Guoxiang ; Jin, Rongchao ; Jiang, De-en - Nanoscale

Staple motifs in the form of –RS(AuSR) _x– (x = 1, 2, 3, etc.) are the most common structural feature at the interface of the thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters, Au _n(SR) _m. However, the recently solved structure of Au ₉₂(SR) ₄₄, in which the facets of the Au ₈₄ core are protected mainly by the bridging thiolates, challenges the staple hypothesis. Herein, we explore the surface sensitivity of the thiolate–gold interface from first principles density functional theory. We find that the interfacial structures of thiolates on gold are surface sensitive: while a staple motif (such as –RS–Au–SR–) is preferred on Au(111),more »« less
