The crystal structures of copper-containing nitrite reductase (CuNiR) from the thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium ${it Geobacillus kaustophilus}$ HTA426 and the amino (N)-terminal 68 residue-deleted mutant were determined at resolutions of 1.3${AA}$ and 1.8${AA}$, respectively. Both structures show a striking resemblance with the overall structure of the well-known CuNiRs composed of two Greek key $$beta$$-barrel domains; however, a remarkable structural difference was found in the N-terminal region. The unique region has one $$beta$$-strand and one $$alpha$$-helix extended to the northern surface of the type-1 copper site. The superposition of the ${it Geobacillus}$ CuNiR model on the electron-transfer complex structure of CuNiR with the redox partner cytochrome ${it c$_{551}$}$ in other denitrifier system led us to infer that this region contributes to the transient binding with the partner protein during the interprotein electron transfer reaction in the ${it Geobacillus}$ system. Furthermore, electron-transfer kinetics experiments using N-terminal residue-deleted mutant and the redox partner, ${it Geobacillus}$ cytochrome ${it c$_{551}$}$, were carried out. These structural and kinetics studies demonstrate that that region is directly involved in the specific partner recognition.

We demonstrate a large enhancement of critical current density ($$J$$$$_{rm c}$$) up to 1.0 $$times$$ 10$$^{7}$$ A/cm$$^{2}$$ at 5 K under self-field in (Ba,K)Fe$$_{2}$$As$$_{2}$$ single crystals by irradiating 320 MeV Au ions. With the very promising potential of this material in mind, we have fabricated a (Ba,K)Fe$$_{2}$$As$$_{2}$$ superconducting wire through a powder-in-tube method combined with the hot isostatic pressing technique, whose effectiveness has been proven in industrial Bi2223 tapes. The Jc in the wire at 4.2 K has reached 37 kA/cm$$^{2}$$ under self-field and 3.0 kA/cm$$^{2}$$ at 90 kOe. Magneto-optical imaging of the wire confirmed the large intergranular Jc in the wire core.

A method for growing large protein crystals is described. In this method, a cut pipette tip is used to hang large-scale droplets (maximum volume 200 $$mu$$l) consisting of protein and precipitating agents. A crystal grows at the vapor-liquid interface; thereafter the grown crystal can be retrieved by droplet-droplet contact both for repeated macroseeding and for mounting crystals in a capillary. Crystallization experiments with peroxiredoxin of ${it Aeropyrum pernix}$ K1(thioredoxin peroxidase, ApTPx) and hen egg white lysozyme demonstrated that this large-scale hanging-drop method could produce a large-volume crystal very effectively. A neutron diffraction experiment confirmed that an ApTPx crystal (6.2 mm$$^{3}$$) obtained by this method diffracted to beyond 3.5 ${AA}$ resolution.

We report crystal growth of human immunodeficiency virus 1 protease (HIV PR) in a complex with its inhibitor KNI-272 by six different methods. Comparative analysis indicates that top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) and TSSG combined with the floating and stirring technique (TSSG-FAST) are efficient strategies for rapidly obtaining large single crystals and effectively preventing polycrystallization of the seed crystal. Neutron diffraction analysis confirmed that the crystalobtained by TSSG is a high-quality single crystal. Furthermore, crystal shape was observed to be influenced by solution flow, suggesting that the degree of supersaturation significantly affects the crystal growth direction of HIV PR complex. This finding implies that the shape of the HIV PR complex crystal might be controlled by the solution flow rate.

Recent design study on SlimCS focused mainly on the torus configuration including blanket, divertor, materials and maintenance scheme. For vertical stability of elongated plasma and high beta access, a sector-wide conducting shell is arranged in between replaceable and permanent blanket. The reactor adopts pressurized-water-cooled solid breeding blanket. Compared with the previous advanced concept with supercritical water, the design options satisfying tritium self-sufficiency are relatively scarce. Considered divertor technology and materials, an allowable heat load to the divertor plate should be 8 MW/m$$^{2}$$ or lower, which can be a critical constraint for determining a handling power of DEMO (a combination of alpha heating power and external input power for current drive).

This paper reports the crystallization and preliminary neutron diffraction measurements of HIV-1 protease, a potential target for anti-HIV therapy, complexed with an inhibitor (KNI-272). The aim of this neutron diffraction study is to obtain structural information about the H atoms and to determine the protonation states of the residues within the active site. The crystal was grown to a size of 1.4 mm$$^{3}$$ by repeated macroseeding and a slow-cooling method using a two-liquid system. Neutron diffraction data were collected at room temperature using a BIX-4 diffractometer at the JRR-3 research reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The data set was integrated and scaled to 2.3 ${AA}$ resolution in space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 59.5, b = 87.4, c = 46.8 ${AA}$.

Reformed sulfur (RS) is superior in water interception and acid resistance compared with cement. Therefore solidified wastes with RS should have the high resistance to leaching. Unconfined compressive strength test and leaching test using solidified simulated wastes containing lead contaminated with radioactive nuclides (Lead waste) with RS and solidified simulated low level radioactive liquid waste (LLLW) with RS were conducted to examine the applicability of reformed sulfur solidification method (RSSM) as solidification technique of Lead waste and LLLW. The results of these studies show that RSSM is effective technique for stabilization of lead compared with cement solidification method because solidified lead with RS has much stronger resistance to leaching of lead than solidified lead with cement. It also show that the applicability of RSSM as solidification technique of the waste containing lead oxide and LLLW is low because the resistance to leaching of solidified lead oxide with RS and of solidified simulated LLLW with RS were equal to or lower than those of solidified products with cement respectively.

Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 446-447, p.558 - 561, 2007/10

 Times Cited Count:20 Percentile:69.97(Chemistry, Physical)

The effect of the composition of non-stoichiometric WO$$_{3}$$ films on the gasochromic coloration are investigated. The films are prepared by a reactive RF magnetron sputtering with varying oxygen partial pressure. To determine the quantitative composition of deposited films, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and Elastic recoil detection (ERD) are employed. Gasochromic coloration of the films coated with Pd catalyst is examined by optical transmission in hydrogen gas. O/W atomic ratio of the films increases from 0.25 to 3.0 with increasing the oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering gas. H/W ratio increases up to 0.7 with increasing the O/W ration. As regards gasochromic coloration, the film with O/W atomic ratio of 3.0 shows superior coloration performance comparing with that of less than 3.0. Therefore, it is assumed that the good gasochromic coloration of tungsten oxide films is realized by near-stoichiometric WO$$_{3}$$. In addition, gasochromic coloration state, increasing of hydrogen concentration in WO$$_{3}$$ films is observed. It indicates that gasochromic coloration of WO$$_{3}$$ is relate to formation of HWO$$_{3}$$ structure.

The amorphous, polycrystalline, and oriented films of the tungsten oxide were fabricated by sputtering deposition. It is found that each film has different roughness in the surface. The films with rough surface show fast coloration in 1% hydrogen. There is possibility that the gasochromic properties are improved effectively by the control of the surface morphology, and the films with large grains on the surface have better gasochromic coloration.

The deposition of tungsten oxide on the sheet of polyethylene terephthalate or polyvinylindene chloride was performed by sputtering method. It was found that the color of the sheets changes within few minuets to expose 0.1 vol.% diluted hydrogen, so as to be able to confirm the change by viewing. The sheets can be produced with low cost, and are useful as convenient sheet-type hydrogen sensors for the utilization of hydrogen in fuel cell as a clean energy source.

Tungsten oxide films coated with Pd catalysts are colored by exposure to hydrogen gas (gasochromic coloration) and it can be used for optical hydrogen sensors. The effects of composition and structure on gasochromic coloration of tungsten oxide films for hydrogen have been investigated. Tungsten oxide films with various O/W atomic ratios from 1.5 to 3.0 are prepared using a reactive rf magnetron sputtering at different oxygen partial pressures. The crystallographic structure and O/W atomic ratio of the films were determined by X-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. The stoichiometric WO$$_{3}$$ film with amorphous structure resulted in superior gasochromic coloration. The superior gasochromic performance was realized in stoichiometric WO$$_{3}$$ films with amorphous structure. It suggests that the gasochromic coloration of tungsten oxide films for hydrogen is strongly influenced by the composition and structure.

Electrometallurgical pyroprocessing is a promising technology to realize actinide fuel cycle. Integrated experiments to demonstrate electrometallurgical pyroprocessing of plutonium oxide in continuous operation were carried out. In each test, 10 to 20 g of PuO$$_{2}$$ was reacted with Li reductant to form metal product. The reduction products were charged in the anode basket of the electrorefiner with LiCl-KCl-UCl$$_{3}$$ electrolyte. With using the anodes, deposition of uranium on the solid cathode was carried out, when PuCl$$_{3}$$ concentration was low. After Pu/U ratio in salt electrolyte was increased enough, plutonium and uranium were recovered simultaneously on the liquid cadmium cathode. By heating up the deposits for distillation of the salt and the cadmium, U metal or Pu-U alloyed metal were obtained as residues in the crucible. It was first result to demonstrate the recovery of metal actinides in the continuous operation of pyroprocessing of oxide fuels.

Effect of tungsten valences on gasochromic coloration in tungsten oxide thin films

Takano, Katsuyoshi; Inoue, Aichi; Yamamoto, Shunya; Miyashita, Atsumi; Yoshikawa, Masahito

Transactions of the Materials Research Society of Japan, 32(1), p.159 - 162, 2007/03

Ion irradiations with $$^4$$He$$^+$$ at 350 keV were performed for the tungsten tri-oxide (WO$$_3$$) films. Gasochromic coloration of the irradiated films was observed by a measurement of optical transmittance with the expose of 1 % hydrogen. The extent of coloration level of the irradiated film with the fluence of $$1 times 10^{17}$$ ions/sm$$^2$$ is 7.5 times lager than that of non-irradiated film. W 4$$f$$ photoemission spectra for the films were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the fitting analysis for the spectra, the non-irradiated film has only W$$^{6+}$$. In the irradiated film with the fluence of $$1 times 10^{17}$$ ions/sm$$^2$$, it is estimated that 17 % and 4 % of the amount of W$$^{6+}$$ change into W$$^{5+}$$ and W$$^{4+}$$, respectively. The improvement of the gasochromic coloration of the irradiated WO$$_3$$ films relates to the increment of oxygen deficient tungstens induced by the irradiation.
