    Description: Graphite vaporization provides an uncontrolled yet efficient means of producing fullerene molecules. However, some fullerene derivatives or unusual fullerene species might only be accessible through rational and controlled synthesis methods. Recently, such an approach has been used to produce isolable amounts of the fullerene C(60) from commercially available starting materials. But the overall process required 11 steps to generate a suitable polycyclic aromatic precursor molecule, which was then dehydrogenated in the gas phase with a yield of only about one per cent. Here we report the formation of C(60) and the triazafullerene C(57)N(3) from aromatic precursors using a highly efficient surface-catalysed cyclodehydrogenation process. We find that after deposition onto a platinum (111) surface and heating to 750 K, the precursors are transformed into the corresponding fullerene and triazafullerene molecules with about 100 per cent yield. We expect that this approach will allow the production of a range of other fullerenes and heterofullerenes, once suitable precursors are available. Also, if the process is carried out in an atmosphere containing guest species, it might even allow the encapsulation of atoms or small molecules to form endohedral fullerenes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Otero, Gonzalo -- Biddau, Giulio -- Sanchez-Sanchez, Carlos -- Caillard, Renaud -- Lopez, Maria F -- Rogero, Celia -- Palomares, F Javier -- Cabello, Noemi -- Basanta, Miguel A -- Ortega, Jose -- Mendez, Javier -- Echavarren, Antonio M -- Perez, Ruben -- Gomez-Lor, Berta -- Martin-Gago, Jose A -- England -- Nature. 2008 Aug 14;454(7206):865-8. doi: 10.1038/nature07193.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (CSIC), Cantoblanco, 28049 Madrid, Spain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18704082" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cellular responses in the V2 secondary visual cortex to simple as well as complex visual stimuli have been well studied. However, the role of area V2 in visual memory remains unexplored. We found that layer 6 neurons of V2 are crucial for the processing of object-recognition memory (ORM). Using the protein regulator of G protein signaling-14 (RGS-14) as a tool, we found that the expression of this protein into layer 6 neurons of rat-brain area V2 promoted the conversion of a normal short-term ORM that normally lasts for 45 minutes into long-term memory detectable even after many months. Furthermore, elimination of the same-layer neurons by means of injection of a selective cytotoxin resulted in the complete loss of normal as well as protein-mediated enhanced ORM.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lopez-Aranda, Manuel F -- Lopez-Tellez, Juan F -- Navarro-Lobato, Irene -- Masmudi-Martin, Mariam -- Gutierrez, Antonia -- Khan, Zafar U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Jul 3;325(5936):87-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1170869.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Neurobiology, Centro de Investigaciones Medico-Sanitarias, University of Malaga, Campus Teatinos s/n, 29071 Malaga, Spain. zkhan@uma.es〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19574389" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) is a pioneer factor of estrogen receptor α (ER)–chromatin binding and function, yet its aberration in endocrine-resistant (Endo-R) breast cancer is unknown. Here, we report preclinical evidence for a role of FOXA1 in Endo-R breast cancer as well as evidence for its clinical significance. FOXA1...

    Notes: We report the first molecular dynamics simulation of an amide in water in which the solute is fully described through quantum mechanics methods (density functional theory in our case). All solute's degrees of freedom are allowed to vary. The solvent is described through a classical potential. We have chosen for our study the simple formamide molecule since it allows hybrid simulations to be carried out at a sophisticated quantum level. More precisely, we have considered two computational schemes: in the first one, we use a small double-ζ basis set and a local approximation of the exchange-correlation functional whereas, in the second, an extended triple-ζ+polarization basis set, as well as a gradient-corrected functional, has been employed. The analysis of the results is focused on both structural and energetic aspects. Particular attention is paid to the time variation of dihedral angles in formamide connected to nitrogen pyramidalization and NH2 subunit rotation. The agreement with available experimental and theoretical data is satisfactory. Nevertheless, the limits of the method are pointed out, in particular the need to improve the description of the nonelectrostatic term of the solute-solvent interaction potential. One of the main advantages of the hybrid approach is that polarization effects are included in a rigorous manner. This renders possible a detailed discussion on the role of hydration effects on amides structure, a point of considerable relevance due to the biochemical importance of the peptidic bond. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The differences between L3 and L2 edges of 3d and 4d transition metal complexes and compounds in octahedral symmetry are discussed. The main origin of these differences are the multiplet effects due to the coupling of the 2p core wave function and the 3d and 4d valence wave functions. The 3d and 4d spin–orbit coupling is a second origin of difference. For 3d systems the multiplet effects dominate all other interactions and the L3 and L2 edge are completely mixed and reordered. For 4d systems the core hole spin–orbit coupling is large and the L3 and L2 are separated by about 100 eV with a ratio close to 2:1. The differences between the L3 and L2 edge originate from the weight transfer between the t2g and eg peaks due to the multiplet effect. This weight transfer is about 25% for the L3 edge and about 5% for the L2 edge, which implies that for a comparison to single-particle calculations the L2 edge is preferable to use. Partly filled 4d systems are low-spin and the occupation of the t2g states implies a decrease of the first peak. This decrease is stronger for the L2 edge, implying an increase in the L3:L2 ratio. For 4d5 systems transitions to the t2g hole are only possible at the L3 edge due to the combined effects of 4d spin–orbit coupling and the dd multiplet effects.

    Notes: A simple model has been developed that allows analysis of nonequilibrium solvent effects on chemical processes. It is based on the use of a self-consistent reaction field approach using a multipole development of the solvation energy and on the separation of the inertial and noninertial polarization of the solvent. The solute's wave function is computed at the ab initio level. The main advantage with respect to previously reported models is that the inclusion of nonequilibrium or dynamic solvent effects are introduced through the definition of a single solvent coordinate which is related to the chemical system coordinates. Besides, inclusion of polarization effects is straightforward. Results are presented for the SN2 reaction F−+CH3F→FCH3+F−. The frozen-solvent hypothesis and the role of solvent fluctuations are discussed. It is shown that the climb to the transition barrier must be preceded by a convenient fluctuation of the solvent so that its inertial polarization component is suitable to solvate the transition state. Other solvent fluctuations, energetically less favorable, could decrease or even suppress the transition barrier. Nonequilibrium solvation effects on the value of the transmission coefficient are discussed. The methodology proposed in this work may be extended to the study of other rapid processes in solution such as proton transfers or electronic excitations. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Summary A Self-Consistent Reaction Field Model is used to study the effect of the molecular environment on the electronic distribution and on the equilibrium geometry of the water dimer in liquid water. Computations are performed at the 6-311G++(2d,2p) MP2 level. Comparison of the results for the monomer and the dimer, in a vacuum and in the liquid, is made in order to gain a deeper insight on the cooperative phenomenon. The discussion emphasizes the trends which should be considered for deriving more sophisticated water-water potentials.
