The pyrolytic pathways changed drastically in TEGDE. Glucose 4 started to decompose at >160 °C under the neat conditions, and polysaccharides, 5 anhydrosugars (levoglucosan and 1,6-anhydroglucofuranose), a colored substance and 6 char were the major products. However, glucose was completely stabilized against 7 decomposition in TEGDE and instead converted into fragmentation products including 8 formaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, erythrose and 9 erythrulose at higher temperatures. The total yield of the fragmentation products 10 reached a 74.9 wt % at 250 °C. An aldose-ketose isomerization and retro-aldol 11 fragmentation including a six-membered cyclic transition state were suggested as the 12 principle mechanisms. Several other polyethers gave similar results. This unique 13 property of polyether can be explained by the basicity of the ether oxygen which acts as 14 a proton acceptor for the hydroxyl groups in the sugar. This H-bonding between the 15 polyether and glucose may prevent inter- and intramolecular H-bonding (H-donation to 16 the oxygen atoms) of glucose, which results in stabilization against transglycosylation 17 and dehydration reactions. Such inter- and intramolecular H-bonding (H-donation) may 18 also be involved in the thermal decomposition of the melt sugar as an activation (acid 19 catalysis) mechanism. 20 21 Keywords: 22 Reducing sugar; Controlled pyrolysis; Polyether; Retro-aldol fragmentation; Hydrogen 23 bond. 24 2 25 1. Introduction 26 Pyrolysis is an effective method for obtaining fuels and chemicals from organic 27 resources. Methanol used to be produced from wood pyrolyzates [1]. Catalytic cracking 28 is currently available for production of gaseous and liquid fuels and commodity 29 chemicals from petroleum [2,3]. Biomass has great potential as a future renewable 30 resource for fuels and chemicals production [1,4]. Thermochemical methods such as 31 fast pyrolysis [5,6] and gasification [5,7] are promising ways for converting biomass 32 into fuels and chemicals. However, low product selectivity arising from the complex 33 reactions of biomass pyrolysis makes the application of these pyrolysis-based processes 34 difficult. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of biomass pyrolysis and their 35 control would be useful for improving the product selectivity. 36 Carbohydrates are a major component of biomass resources, and hence, 37 pyrolysis of reducing [8,9] and non-reducing sugars [10-12] and polysaccharides 38 [13-15] has been studied extensively. Reducing monosaccharides are known to be 39 degraded at a much lower temperature range (> 160 °C) than the non-reducing sugars, 40 and their thermal decomposition has been discussed in connection with a caramelization 41 process [8]. Thermal glycosylation into polysaccharides and formation of furanic 42 compounds, char and colored substances through dehydration are reported to be 43 pyrolytic reactions occurring during caramelization [8]. At temperatures higher than > 44 250 °C, formation of low molecular weight (MW) products including anhydrosugars 45 (levoglucosan (1,6-anhydro--D-glucopyranose), 1,6-anhydro--D-glucofuranose), 46 furanic compounds (furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural), fragmentation products 47 (hydroxyacetone, glycolaldehyde) and organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, etc.) 48 becomes more important [8,16,17]. 49 Recently, Hosoya et al. [18] have reported that levoglucosan, an important 50 intermediate in cellulose pyrolysis, was selectively converted into gaseous products (CO 51 and CO2) in the gas phase at 400 °C, while it was converted into polysaccharides, char 3 52 and low MW products as described above in the liquid phase. Thus, the pyrolytic 53 pathway varies depending on the phase of pyrolysis, that is, gas or liquid phase. As a 54 related phenomenon, Hosoya et al. [19] also reported that levoglucosan was stabilized 55 up to 350°C in aromatic substances, and they related this unexpected feature to the 56 dispersion of levoglucosan molecules in the aromatic substance through C-H/ 57 interactions. 58 Because of the drastic differences in the reactivity reported for some pyrolysis 59 conditions, we hypothesize that inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding initiates the 60 pyrolysis reactions such as glycosylation and dehydration of sugars. Hydrogen-donation 61 to the oxygen atoms of the sugar may act as an acid catalysis at high temperature. To 62 confirm this hypothesis, polyether, which is expected to act only as a hydrogen acceptor, 63 was tested. Most of the experiments were conducted with tetraethyleneglycol 64 dimethylether (TEGDE) as the model polyether because this has a high boiling point 65 (280 °C) and can solubilize glucose up to 2 wt % (150 °C). Pyrolysis of aldo (glucose 66 and glyceraldehyde) and keto (fructose and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone) sugars was 67 conducted in TEGDE. The roles of intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in sugar 68 pyrolysis are discussed. 69 70 71 2. Experimental 72 2.1. Materials 73 Glucose, fructose, and glyceraldehyde were from Nacalai Tesque Inc., Japan. 74 Glycolaldehyde, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, erythrose, and erythrulose were from 75 Sigma-Aldrich Co., USA. Tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether, 18-crown-6, isosorbide 76 dimethylether, diethyleneglycol dibutylether, and levoglucosan were from Tokyo 77 Chemical Industry Co. Ltd., Japan. Cellotriose and cellohexaose were purchased from 78 Seikagaku Biobusiness Corporation, Japan. 1,6-Anhydro--D-glucofuranose was 4 79 prepared by heat treatment of glucose in sulfolane (tetramethylene sulfone) at 250 ˚C. 80 81 2.2. Method of sugar pyrolysis 82 Sugar (20 mg), polyether (2 g) including 3,5-dibuthyl hydroxyl toluene (BHT, 83 0.5 wt % as a stabilizer), and a glass-coated stir bar were placed at the bottom of a 30 ml 84 flask. A condenser, a three-way tap, and a nitrogen balloon were connected to the flask. 85 After the air inside the reactor was replaced with N2 by using an aspirator connected 86 through the three-way tap, the flask was heated in an oil bath which was preheated at 87 150-250 °C, and the mixture was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 10-60 min. After 88 heating, the flask was removed from the oil bath and cooled with flowing air (30 s) and 89 then in cold water (30 s). BHT was used as a stabilizer for polyether. However, 90 influences of the addition of BHT on the products composition were only small under 91 the present pyrolysis conditions. Neat sugar pyrolysis was also conducted without 92 addition of polyether, BHT, and the stir bar. 93 94 2.3. Recovery of the products and unreacted sugar 95 To remove polyether and BHT, n-hexane (20 mL) was added to the reaction 96 mixture. The mixture was left for 1 h at room temperature to give a colorless crystalline 97 substance or a syrup as the precipitate, which was recovered by centrifugation at 8000 98 rpm for 10 min. After washing with another 20 mL of n-hexane and subsequent drying 99 in air, the precipitate was dissolved in 2 mL of water, and 0.1 mL of the resulting 100 solution was dried in a vacuum desiccator and subsequently trimethylsilylated with a 101 0.1 mL of silylation reagent (BSTFA: TMCS: Pyridine = 2:1:7) at 60 °C for 10 min. 102 Recovery of the unreacted sugar was measured by GC-FID analysis. The GC analysis 103 was performed on a Shimadzu GC-14B with the following chromatographic conditions, 104 column: CBP5-M25-O25 (25 m, 0.22 mm in diameter), injector temperature: 250 °C, 105 detector temperature: 250 °C, column temperature: 160→250 °C (0→9 min), 250 °C 5 106 (9→15 min), carrier gas: He, flow rate: 1.5 mL/min, detector: FID. 107 108 2.4. Isolation and identification of the products 109 The mixtures obtained as the precipitates were purified further using silica gel 110 column chromatography; eluent: chloroform and then 20% MeOH/chloroform. 111 Formaldehyde was recovered according to the method as described below. 112 Glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and erythrose were identified by 113 comparing the 1H-NMR spectra of these oxime derivatives (with hydroxylamine) with 114 those of the authentic compounds. Chemical shift and coupling constant were shown as 1 115 and Hz, respectively. The H-NMR spectra were measured in D2O on a Varian 116 AVANCE 400 spectrometer (400MHz): Glycolaldehyde oxime (Z, E-isomer): 7.49 (t, 117 J = 4.8, 1 H, H-C=N, E), 6.90 (t, J = 4.0, 1 H, H-C=N, Z), 4.35 (t, J = 4.0, 2 H, 118 -CH2-OD, Z), 4.13 (d, J = 4.8, 2 H, -CH2-OD, E); 1,3-dihydroxyacetone oxime: 4,44 119 (s, 2 H), 4.25 (s, 2 H); glyceraldehyde oxime (E-isomer): 7.42 (d, J = 6.0, 1 H, C1-H), 120 4.27 (ddd, J = 4.8, 6.0, 6.0, 1 H, C2-H), 3.65 (dd, J = 4.8, 12.0, 1 H, C3-H), 3.61 (dd, J = 121 6.0, 11.6, 1 H, C3-H); erythrose oxime (E-isomer): 7.47 (d, J = 6.4, 1 H, C1-H), 4.18 (t, 122 J = 6.4, 1 H, C2-H), 3.75-3.79 (m, 1 H, C3-H), 3.67 (dd, J = 4.0, 12.0, 1 H, C4-H), 3.55 1 123 (dd, J = 6.4, 12.0, 1 H, C4-H).

  • Modelling Panspermia in the TRAPPIST-1 System
    October 13, 2017 Modelling panspermia in the TRAPPIST-1 system James A. Blake1,2*, David J. Armstrong1,2, Dimitri Veras1,2 Abstract The recent ground-breaking discovery of seven temperate planets within the TRAPPIST-1 system has been hailed as a milestone in the development of exoplanetary science. Centred on an ultra-cool dwarf star, the planets all orbit within a sixth of the distance from Mercury to the Sun. This remarkably compact nature makes the system an ideal testbed for the modelling of rapid lithopanspermia, the idea that micro-organisms can be distributed throughout the Universe via fragments of rock ejected during a meteoric impact event. We perform N-body simulations to investigate the timescale and success-rate of lithopanspermia within TRAPPIST-1. In each simulation, test particles are ejected from one of the three planets thought to lie within the so-called ‘habitable zone’ of the star into a range of allowed orbits, constrained by the ejection velocity and coplanarity of the case in question. The irradiance received by the test particles is tracked throughout the simulation, allowing the overall radiant exposure to be calculated for each one at the close of its journey. A simultaneous in-depth review of space microbiological literature has enabled inferences to be made regarding the potential survivability of lithopanspermia in compact exoplanetary systems. 1Department of Physics, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL 2Centre for Exoplanets and Habitability, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL *Corresponding author: [email protected] Contents Universe, and can propagate from one location to another.

  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life
    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.

  • Chemical Evolution Theory of Life's Origins the Lattimer, AST 248, Lecture 13 – P.2/20 Organics
    Chemical Evolution Theory of Life's Origins 1. the synthesis and accumulation of small organic molecules, or monomers, such as amino acids and nucleotides. • Production of glycine (an amino acid) energy 3HCN+2H2O −→ C2H5O2N+CN2H2. • Production of adenine (a base): 5 HCN → C5H5N5, • Production of ribose (a sugar): 5H2CO → C5H10O5. 2. the joining of these monomers into polymers, including proteins and nucleic acids. Bernal showed that clay-like materials could serve as sites for polymerization. 3. the concentration of these molecules into droplets, called protobionts, that had chemical characteristics different from their surroundings. This relies heavily on the formation of a semi-permeable membrane, one that allows only certain materials to flow one way or the other through it. Droplet formation requires a liquid with a large surface tension, such as water. Membrane formation naturally occurs if phospholipids are present. 4. The origin of heredity, or a means of relatively error-free reproduction. It is widely, but not universally, believed that RNA-like molecules were the first self-replicators — the RNA world hypothesis. They may have been preceded by inorganic self-replicators.

  • 48 3-1-4. Reactions Using Mutant FSA A129S Another Mutant Enzyme
    Results _ 3-1-4. Reactions using mutant FSA A129S Another mutant enzyme, A129S, which has serine at 129th residue instead of alanine (Fig.3-11a), has high potential to catalyze the reactions using DHA as a donor substrate. Virtually, the kcat/Km value for DHA is more than 12 fold of that of WT (Schürmann, 2001). This implies that larger amounts of products can be acquired with A129S than with WT, or unfavorable reactions with WT may be accomplished with the mutant enzyme. Firstly, FSA A129S was produced in DH5α with pUC18 plasmid vector and purified with same method as WT was done (Fig.3-11b, Table 3-8). This mutant enzyme was overexpressed well and a strong band corresponding to FSA was seen on SDS-PAGE gel (as 10~15% of total protein in crude extract). In addition, this mutant enzyme held the stability against high temperature. Thus, a heat treatment step was part of the purification protocol. However, protein solution obtained from hydroxyapatite column of the final purification step showed still a few extra protein bands on SDS-PAGE gel (Fig.3-11b). Although it contained those extra proteins, the purity appeared to be more than 90% on the gel and the specific activity was quite high enough to assay the catalytic ability of the enzyme for several substrates. Indeed, even crude extract showed higher specific activity than purified WT had (Table 3-8). Three reactions (scheme 3-1) were probed to assay catalytic ability of both FSA WT and A129S. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) or hydroxyacetone (HA) were used as donor substrates, and formaldehyde or glycolaldehyde as acceptor.

  • Nomination Background: Dihydroxyacetone (CASRN: 96-26-4)
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Dihydroxyacetone 96-26-4 BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG As consumers have become more mindful of the hazards ofa "healthy tan," more individuals have turned to sunless tanning. Sunless tanning products represent about 10% of the $400 million market for suntan preparations, and these products are the fastest growing segment of the suntanning preparation market. All sunless tanners contain dihydroxyacetone. Information on the toxicity of dihydroxyacetone appears contradictory. A mutagen that induces DNA strand breaks, dihydroxyacetone is also an intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism in higher plants and animals. Such contradictions are not unprecedented, and it has been suggested that autooxidation of cx-hydroxycarbonyl compounds including reducing sugars may play a role in diseases associated with age and diabetes (Morita, 1991 ). When dihydroxyacetone was applied to the skin of mice, no carcinogenic effect was observed. It is unclear whether this negative response was caused by a failure ofthe compound to penetrate the skin. If so, extrapolating the dermal results to other routes of exposure would not be appropriate. NCI is nominating dihydroxyacetone to the NTP for dermal penetration studies in rats and mice to determine whether dihydroxyacetone can penetrate the skin. This information will clarify whether additional testing of dihydroxyacetone is warranted.

  • The Pichia Pastoris Dihydroxyacetone Kinase Is a PTS1-Containing, but Cytosolic, Protein That Is Essential for Growth on Methanol
    . 14: 759–771 (1998) The Pichia pastoris Dihydroxyacetone Kinase is a PTS1-containing, but Cytosolic, Protein that is Essential for Growth on Methanol GEORG H. LU} ERS†, RAJ ADVANI, THIBAUT WENZEL AND SURESH SUBRAMANI* Department of Biology, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093–0322, U.S.A. Received 11 November 1997; accepted 27 January 1998 Dihydroxyacetone kinase (DAK) is essential for methanol assimilation in methylotrophic yeasts. We have cloned the DAK gene from Pichia pastoris by functional complementation of a mutant that was unable to grow on methanol. An open reading frame of 1824 bp was identified that encodes a 65·3 kDa protein with high homology to DAK from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although DAK from P. pastoris contained a C-terminal tripeptide, TKL, which we showed can act as a peroxisomal targeting signal when fused to the green fluorescent protein, the enzyme was primarily cytosolic. The TKL tripeptide was not required for the biochemical function of DAK because a deletion construct lacking the DNA encoding this tripeptide was able to complement the P. pastoris dakÄ mutant. Peroxisomes, which are essential for growth of P. pastoris on methanol, were present in the dakÄ mutant and the import of peroxisomal proteins was not disturbed. The dakÄ mutant grew at normal rates on glycerol and oleate media. However, unlike the wild-type cells, the dakÄ mutant was unable to grow on methanol as the sole carbon source but was able to grow on dihydroxyacetone at a much slower rate. The metabolic pathway explaining the reduced growth rate of the dakÄ mutant on dihydroxyacetone is discussed.

  • Unit 1: Carbohydrates Structure and Biological Importance: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates
    CBCS 3rd Semester Core Course VII Paper: Fundamentals of Biochemistry Unit 1: Carbohydrates Structure and Biological importance: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates By- Dr. Luna Phukan Definition The carbohydrates are a group of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that also contain several hydroxyl groups. It may also include their derivatives which produce such compounds on hydrolysis. They are the most abundant organic molecules in nature and also referred to as “saccharides”. The carbohydrates which are soluble in water and sweet in taste are called as “sugars”. Structure of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The general empirical structure for carbohydrates is (CH2O)n. They are organic compounds organized in the form of aldehydes or ketones with multiple hydroxyl groups coming off the carbon chain. The building blocks of all carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides. A monosaccharide can be a polyhydroxy aldehyde (aldose) or a polyhydroxy ketone (ketose) The carbohydrates can be structurally represented in any of the three forms: 1. Open chain structure. 2. Hemi-acetal structure. 3. Haworth structure. Open chain structure – It is the long straight-chain form of carbohydrates. Hemi-acetal structure – Here the 1st carbon of the glucose condenses with the -OH group of the 5th carbon to form a ring structure. Haworth structure – It is the presence of the pyranose ring structure Classification of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides The simple carbohydrates include single sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Simplest group of carbohydrates and often called simple sugars since they cannot be further hydrolyzed. Colorless, crystalline solid which are soluble in water and insoluble in a non-polar solvent.

  • Acetone Thermally Treated in Different Solvents Joji Okumura, Tetsuya Yanai, Izumi Yajima and Kazuo Hayashi Kawasaki Research Center, T
    Agric. Biol. Chem., 54 (7), 1631-1638, 1990 1631 Volatile Products Formed from L-Cysteine and Dihydroxy- acetone Thermally Treated in Different Solvents Joji Okumura, Tetsuya Yanai, Izumi Yajima and Kazuo Hayashi Kawasaki Research Center, T. Hasegawa Co., Ltd., 335 Kariyado, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki 211, Japan Received November 21, 1989 Equimolecular amounts of L-cysteine and dihydroxyacetone were heated at 110°C for 3hr in different solvent systems such as deionized water, glycerine, or triglyceride. The resulting mixtures were vacuum steam-distilled and each distillate was extracted with ethyl ether. The volatiles in the ether extracts were analyzed by gas chromatographyand gas chromatograph\-massspectrometry. Differences in the quality and quantity of volatiles formed in the systems were observed. Pyrazines, thiazoles, thiophenes, and someother sulfur-containing compounds wereidentified in the volatiles. Dimethylpyrazines were formed as major volatiles in the glycerine and triglyceride systems but were minor in the water system. 2-Acetylthiazole in the triglyceride system and 2-acetylthiophene in the glycerine system were secondary abundant products. In the water system, l-mercapto-2-propanone was found as a major volatile compound, and thiophenes as the next dominants. The Maillard reaction is significant in the sugar alcohols, oils and fats, or their mixtures formation of flavors from various heated were used for various applications. It has been foods. In the flavor industry, the Maillard observed in some cases that the quality of reaction
