Verification of RNA-seq results by real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR).
<p>The black bars represent fold changes based on FPKM calculated from globally normalized RNA-seq data. The gray bars with standard errors indicate fold changes based on the relative expression level determined by qPCR using the 2<sup>-ΔΔCT</sup> method for three biological replicates under saline (300 mM NaCl) and normal conditions.</p

Investigation of nonfouling polypeptides of poly(glutamic acid) with lysine side chains synthesized by EDC·HCl/HOBt chemistry
<div><p>Nonfouling polypeptides with homogenous alternating charges draw peoples’ attentions for their potential capability in biodegradation. Homogenous glutamic acid (E) and lysine (K) polypeptides were proposed and synthesized before. In this work, a new polypeptide formed by poly(glutamic acid) with lysine side chains (poly(E)-K) was synthesized by facile EDC·HCl/HOBt chemistry and investigated. Results show that these polypeptides also have good nonspecific protein resistance determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The lowest nonspecific adsorption of the model proteins, anti-IgG and fibrinogen (Fg), on the self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) surface of poly(E)-K was only 3.3 ± 1.8 and 4.4 ± 1.6%, respectively, when protein adsorption on tissue culture polystyrene surface was set as 100%. And, the relative nonspecific protein adsorption increases when the polypeptide molecular weight increases due to the repression of low density polymer brushes. Moreover, almost no obvious cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity <i>in vitro</i> were detected. This work suggests that polypeptides with various formats of homogenous balanced charges could achieve excellent nonspecific protein resistance, which might be the intrinsic reason for the coexistence of high concentration serum proteins in blood.</p></div
Bimetallic Ru–Co Clusters Derived from a Confined Alloying Process within Zeolite–Imidazolate Frameworks for Efficient NH<sub>3</sub> Decomposition and Synthesis
Herein, a series
of carbocatalysts containing Ru-based clusters have been prepared
by the assistance of zeolite–imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs).
The introduction of Ru is based on the adsorption of well-defined
Ru<sub>3</sub>(CO)<sub>12</sub> within the cavity of ZIFs following
decomposition at 900 °C. Moreover, without breaking the skeleton
and porosity of ZIFs, the as-generated Ru species would bond with
the Co nodes in situ to form bimetallic Ru–Co clusters if the
Co-bearing metal–organic frameworks were utilized as the host.
Within the confined space of ZIFs, the assembly of Ru and Co could
be rationally designed, and their structures could be sophisticatedly
controlled at the atomic scale. Among these Ru-based compositions,
the Ru–Co clusters@N–C exhibited remarkable catalytic
activity for the NH<sub>3</sub> decomposition to H<sub>2</sub> and
NH<sub>3</sub> synthesis versus Ru–Co NPs@N–C, Ru clusters@N–C,
and Ru NPs@N–C. This study may open up a new routine to synthesize
metallic clusters or other subnano structures by the confinement of
ZIFs
