The origin and propagation of the substituent effect of the polar substitutions (CH(2)Cl, CHCl(2), CCl(3), CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) differ, however, from those of the pure alkyl (Me, Et, iPr, tBu) substitutions. The Delta G degrees value of the polar derivatives depends on the qC8 charges, on the occupation of the sigma(center dot)(C1-07) orbital and on the hyperconjugative pi(center dot)(c=O) -> sigma(center dot)(C10-X) and sigma(center dot)(C10-X) -> pi(center dot)(c=O) interactions. The substituent sensitivity of these NBC parameters for the two conformers differ to the effect that the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left side with increasing electron withdrawing character of the acyloxy group. The Delta G degrees values of the alkyl derivatives are interpreted in terms of the calculated dipole moments. The destabilization in the non-polar medium (the experimental Delta G degrees values used were measured in CD(2)Cl(2)) due to the enhanced dipolar character is more prominent in the case of the equatorial alkyl conformers.

Considering the non-destructively measured data during fruit development, μa at 660 nm decreased 91 till 141 days after full bloom (dafb) from 1.49 cm-1 to 0.74 cm-1 due to chlorophyll degradation. At 830 nm, μa only slightly decreased from 0.41 cm-1 to 0.35 cm-1. The μs' at all wavelengths revealed a decreasing trend as the fruit developed. The difference measured at 532 nm was most pronounced decreasing from 24 cm-1 to 10 cm-1, while at 660 nm and 830 nm values decreased from 15 cm-1 to 13 cm-1 and from 10 cm-1 to 8 cm-1, respectively. When building calibration models with partial least-squares regression analysis on the optical properties for non-destructive analysis of the fruit SSC, μa at 532 nm and 830 nm resulted in a correlation coefficient of R = 0.66, however, showing high measuring uncertainty. The combination of all three wavelengths gave an enhanced, encouraging R = 0.89 for firmness analysis using μs' in the freshly picked fruit.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Erler2020, author = {Erler, Alexander}, title = {Entwicklung von online-Detektionsverfahren f{\"u}r landwirtschaftlich relevante Analyten}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-47340}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-473406}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {viii, 123}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Die Entwicklung nachhaltiger Bewirtschaftungs- und Produktionsmethoden ist eine der zentralen Fragestellungen der modernen Agrarwirtschaft. Die vorliegende Arbeit besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit zwei Forschungsthemen, die das Konzept Nachhaltigkeit beinhalten. In beiden F{\"a}llen werden analytische Grundlagen f{\"u}r die Entwicklung entsprechender landwirtschaftlicher Arbeitsmethoden gelegt. Das erste Thema ist an den sogenannten Pr{\"a}zisionsackerbau angelehnt. Bei diesem wird die Bearbeitung von Agrarfl{\"a}chen ortsabh{\"a}ngig ausgef{\"u}hrt. Das heißt, die Ausbringung von Saatgut, D{\"u}nger, Bew{\"a}sserung usw. richtet sich nach den Eigenschaften des jeweiligen Standortes und wird nicht pauschal gleichm{\"a}ßig {\"u}ber ein ganzes Feld verteilt. Voraussetzung hierf{\"u}r ist eine genaue Kenntnis der Bodeneigenschaften. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollten diese Parameter mittels der analytischen Technik der Laser-induzierten Breakdown Spektroskopie (LIBS), die eine Form der Elementaranalyse darstellt, bestimmt werden. Bei den hier gesuchten Bodeneigenschaften handelte es sich um die Gehalte von N{\"a}hrstoffen sowie einige sekund{\"a}re Parameter wie den Humusanteil, den pH-Wert und den pflanzenverf{\"u}gbaren Anteil einzelner N{\"a}hrstoffe. Diese Eigenschaften wurden durch etablierte Referenzanalysen bestimmt. Darauf aufbauend wurden die Messergebnissen der LIBS-Untersuchungen durch verschiedene Methoden der sogenannten multivariaten Datenanalyse (MVA) ausgewertet. Daraus sollten Modelle zur Vorhersage der Bodenparameter in zuk{\"u}nftigen LIBS-Messungen erarbeitet werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigten, dass mit der Kombination von LIBS und MVA s{\"a}mtliche Bodenparameter erfolgreich vorhergesagt werden konnten. Dies beinhaltete sowohl die tats{\"a}chlich messbaren Elemente als auch die sekund{\"a}ren Eigenschaften, welche durch die MVA mit den Elementgehalten in Zusammenhang gebracht wurden. Das zweite Thema besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Vermeidung von Verlusten durch Sch{\"a}dlingsbefall bei der Getreidelagerung. Hier sollten mittels der Ionenmobilit{\"a}tsspektrometrie (IMS) Schimmelpilzkontaminationen detektiert werden. Dabei wurde nach den fl{\"u}chtigen Stoffwechselprodukten der Pilze gesucht. Die durch Referenzmessungen mit Massenspektrometern identifizierten Substanzen konnten durch IMS im Gasvolumen {\"u}ber den Proben, dem sogenannten Headspace, nachgewiesen werden. Dabei wurde nicht nur die Anwesenheit einer Kontamination festgestellt, sondern diese auch charakterisiert. Die freigesetzten Substanzen bildeten spezifische Muster, anhand derer die Pilze identifiziert werden konnten. Hier wurden sowohl verschiedene Gattungen als auch einzelne Arten unterschieden. Die Messungen fanden auf verschiedenen N{\"a}hrb{\"o}den statt um den Einfluss dieser auf die Stoffwechselprodukte zu beobachten. Auch die sekund{\"a}ren Stoffwechselprodukte der Schimmelpilze, die Mykotoxine, konnten durch IMS detektiert werden. Beide in dieser Arbeit vorgestellten Forschungsthemen konnten erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden. Sowohl LIBS als auch IMS erwiesen sich f{\"u}r den Nachweis der jeweiligen Analyten als geeignet, und der Einsatz moderner computergest{\"u}tzter Auswertemethoden erm{\"o}glichte die genaue Charakterisierung der gesuchten Parameter. Beide Techniken k{\"o}nnen in Form von mobilen Ger{\"a}ten verwendet werden und zeichnen sich durch eine schnelle und sichere Analyse aus.

Possible proxies for their detection are volatile and semivolatile metabolites. Among those substances, characteristic marker compounds have to be identified for a confident detection of mold fungi in varying surroundings. The analytical determination is usually performed through passive sampling with solid phase microextraction, gas chromatographic separation, and detection by electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS), which often does not allow a confident determination due to the absence of molecular ions. An alternative is GC-APCI-MS, generally, allowing the determination of protonated molecular ions. Commercial atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) sources are based on corona discharges, which are often unspecific due to the occurrence of several side reactions and produce complex product ion spectra. To overcome this issue, an APCI source based on soft X-radiation is used here. This source facilitates a more specific ionization by proton transfer reactions only. In the first part, the APCI source is characterized with representative volatile fungus metabolites. Depending on the proton affinity of the metabolites, the limits of detection are up to 2 orders of magnitude below those of EI-MS. In the second part, the volatile metabolites of the mold fungus species Aspergillus, Alternaria, Fusarium, and Penicillium are investigated. In total, 86 compounds were found with GC-EI/APCI-MS. The metabolites identified belong to the substance classes of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, substituted aromatic compounds, terpenes, and sesquiterpenes. In addition to substances unspecific for the individual fungus species, characteristic patterns of metabolites, allowing their confident discrimination, were found for each of the 4 fungus species. Sixty-seven of the 86 metabolites are detected by X-ray-based APCI-MS alone. The discrimination of the fungus species based on these metabolites alone was possible. Therefore, APCI-MS in combination with collision induced dissociation alone could be used as a supervision method for the detection of mold fungi.}, language = {en} } @article{RiebeErlerBrinkmannetal.2019, author = {Riebe, Daniel and Erler, Alexander and Brinkmann, Pia and Beitz, Toralf and L{\"o}hmannsr{\"o}ben, Hans-Gerd and Gebbers, Robin}, title = {Comparison of Calibration Approaches in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for Proximal Soil Sensing in Precision Agriculture}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {19}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {23}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1424-8220}, doi = {10.3390/s19235244}, pages = {16}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The lack of soil data, which are relevant, reliable, affordable, immediately available, and sufficiently detailed, is still a significant challenge in precision agriculture. A promising technology for the spatial assessment of the distribution of chemical elements within fields, without sample preparation is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Its advantages are contrasted by a strong matrix dependence of the LIBS signal which necessitates careful data evaluation. In this work, different calibration approaches for soil LIBS data are presented. The data were obtained from 139 soil samples collected on two neighboring agricultural fields in a quaternary landscape of northeast Germany with very variable soils. Reference analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy after wet digestion. The major nutrients Ca and Mg and the minor nutrient Fe were investigated. Three calibration strategies were compared. The first method was based on univariate calibration by standard addition using just one soil sample and applying the derived calibration model to the LIBS data of both fields. The second univariate model derived the calibration from the reference analytics of all samples from one field. The prediction is validated by LIBS data of the second field. The third method is a multivariate calibration approach based on partial least squares regression (PLSR). The LIBS spectra of the first field are used for training. Validation was carried out by 20-fold cross-validation using the LIBS data of the first field and independently on the second field data. The second univariate method yielded better calibration and prediction results compared to the first method, since matrix effects were better accounted for. PLSR did not strongly improve the prediction in comparison to the second univariate method.}, language = {en} } @misc{WolffCanilRehermannetal.2020, author = {Wolff, Christian Michael and Canil, Laura and Rehermann, Carolin and Nguyen, Ngoc Linh and Zu, Fengshuo and Ralaiarisoa, Maryline and Caprioglio, Pietro and Fiedler, Lukas and Stolterfoht, Martin and Kogikoski, Junior, Sergio and Bald, Ilko and Koch, Norbert and Unger, Eva L. and Dittrich, Thomas and Abate, Antonio and Neher, Dieter}, title = {Correction to 'Perfluorinated self-assembled monolayers enhance the stability and efficiency of inverted perovskite solar cells' (2020, 14 (2), 1445-1456)}, series = {ACS nano}, volume = {14}, journal = {ACS nano}, number = {11}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {1936-0851}, doi = {10.1021/acsnano.0c08081}, pages = {16156 -- 16156}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @misc{WolffCaprioglioStolterfohtetal.2019, author = {Wolff, Christian Michael and Caprioglio, Pietro and Stolterfoht, Martin and Neher, Dieter}, title = {Nonradiative Recombination in Perovskite Solar Cells}, series = {Advanced materials}, volume = {31}, journal = {Advanced materials}, number = {52}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0935-9648}, doi = {10.1002/adma.201902762}, pages = {20}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Perovskite solar cells combine high carrier mobilities with long carrier lifetimes and high radiative efficiencies. Despite this, full devices suffer from significant nonradiative recombination losses, limiting their V-OC to values well below the Shockley-Queisser limit. Here, recent advances in understanding nonradiative recombination in perovskite solar cells from picoseconds to steady state are presented, with an emphasis on the interfaces between the perovskite absorber and the charge transport layers. Quantification of the quasi-Fermi level splitting in perovskite films with and without attached transport layers allows to identify the origin of nonradiative recombination, and to explain the V-OC of operational devices. These measurements prove that in state-of-the-art solar cells, nonradiative recombination at the interfaces between the perovskite and the transport layers is more important than processes in the bulk or at grain boundaries. Optical pump-probe techniques give complementary access to the interfacial recombination pathways and provide quantitative information on transfer rates and recombination velocities. Promising optimization strategies are also highlighted, in particular in view of the role of energy level alignment and the importance of surface passivation.

While olefinic proton chemical shifts and differences in C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the two carbons constituting the CQC double bond fail to give the correct trend in the electron withdrawing ability of the substituents attached to the exocyclic carbon of the double bond, barriers to rotation prove to be a reliable quantity in providing information about the extent of donor-acceptor interactions in the push-pull systems studied. In particular all relevant kinetic data, that is the Arrhenius parameters ( apparent activation energy Ea and frequency factor A) and activation parameters ( Delta S-double dagger, Delta H-double dagger and Delta G(double dagger)), were determined from the data of the experimentally studied configurational isomerization of ( E)-9a. These results were compared to previously published related data for other two compounds, ( Z)-1b and ( 2E, 5Z)-7, showing that experimentally determined Delta G(double dagger) values are a good indicator of the strength of push-pull character.

With increasing tetrachloroauric acid concentration, the decoration with gold nanoparticles can be tuned. SAXS measurements reveal an increase of the platelet thickness up to around 14.5 nm, twice the initial value of bare AuNTs. HRTEM micrographs show welding phenomena between densely packed particles on the platelet surface, leading to a crumble formation while preserving the original crystal structure. Crumbles crystallized on top of the platelets enhance the Raman signal by a factor of around 20, and intensify the plasmon-driven dimerization of 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) to 4,4 '-dimercaptoazobenzene in a yield of up to 50 \%.

Transgenic potato plants with strongly reduced levels of PKc were generated by RNA interference gene silencing under the control of a tuber-specific promoter. Metabolite profiling showed that decreased PKc activity led to a decrease in the levels of pyruvate and some other organic acids involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Flux analysis showed that this was accompanied by changes in carbon partitioning, with carbon flux being diverted from glycolysis toward starch synthesis. However, this metabolic shift was relatively small and hence did not result in enhanced starch levels in the tubers. Although total respiration rates and the ATP to ADP ratio were largely unchanged, transgenic tubers showed a strong decrease in the levels of alternative oxidase (AOX) protein and a corresponding decrease in the capacity of the alternative pathway of respiration. External feeding of pyruvate to tuber tissue or isolated mitochondria resulted in activation of the AOX pathway, both in the wild type and the PKc transgenic lines, providing direct evidence for the regulation of AOX by changes in pyruvate levels. Overall, these results provide evidence for a crucial role of PKc in the regulation of pyruvate levels as well as the level of the AOX in heterotrophic plant tissue, and furthermore reveal that these parameters are interlinked in vivo.}, language = {en} } @article{ReppertSarhanSteteetal.2016, author = {Reppert, Alexander von and Sarhan, Radwan Mohamed and Stete, Felix and Pudell, Jan-Etienne and Del Fatti, N. and Crut, A. and Koetz, Joachim and Liebig, Ferenc and Prietzel, Claudia Christina and Bargheer, Matias}, title = {Watching the Vibration and Cooling of Ultrathin Gold Nanotriangles by Ultrafast X-ray Diffraction}, series = {The journal of physical chemistry : C, Nanomaterials and interfaces}, volume = {120}, journal = {The journal of physical chemistry : C, Nanomaterials and interfaces}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1932-7447}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b11651}, pages = {28894 -- 28899}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We study the vibrations of ultrathin gold nanotriangles upon optical excitation of the electron gas by ultrafast X-ray diffraction.

Despite the combinatorial nature of mechanical, thermal, and biochemical signals, these stimuli have typically been decoupled and applied independently, requiring continuous regulation by controlling units. We employ a programmable polymer actuator sheet to autonomously synchronize thermal and mechanical signals applied to mesenchymal stem cells (MSC5). Using a grid on its underside, the shape change of polymer sheet, as well as cell morphology, calcium (Ca2+) influx, and focal adhesion assembly, could be visualized and quantified. This paper gives compelling evidence that the temperature sensing and mechanosensing of MSC5 are interconnected via intracellular Ca2+. Up-regulated Ca2+ levels lead to a remarkable alteration of histone H3K9 acetylation and activation of osteogenic related genes. The interplay of physical, thermal, and biochemical signaling was utilized to accelerate the cell differentiation toward osteogenic lineage. The approach of programmable bioinstructivity provides a fundamental principle for functional biomaterials exhibiting multifaceted stimuli on differentiation programs.

Most theoretical models attribute this asymmetry to interference effects between gerade and ungerade vibronic states. Presumably due to alignment, these models neglect molecular rotations and hence infer an asymmetric (post-dissociation) charge distribution over the two identical nuclei. In this paper, we question the equivalence that is made between spatial electron-localization, observed in experiments, and atomic electron-localization, alluded by these theoretical models. We show that (seeming) agreement between these models and experiments is due to an unfortunate omission of nuclear permutation symmetry, i.e., quantum statistics. Enforcement of the latter requires mandatory inclusion of the molecular rotational degree of freedom, even for perfectly aligned molecules. Unlike previous interpretations, we ascribe spatial electron-localization to the laser creation of a rovibronic wavepacket that involves field-free molecular eigenstates with opposite space-inversion symmetry i.e., even and odd parity. Space-inversion symmetry breaking would then lead to an asymmetric distribution of the (space-fixed) electronic density over the forward and backward hemisphere. However, owing to the simultaneous coexistence of two indistinguishable molecular orientational isomers, our analytical and computational results show that the post-dissociation electronic density along a specified space-fixed axis is equally shared between the two identical nuclei-a result that is in perfect accordance with the principle of the indistinguishability of identical particles.

Werden Proteine nichtmenschlichen Ursprungs verwendet, kann es jedoch zu einer Immunreaktion kommen, sodass das Protein sehr schnell aus dem K{\"o}rper ausgeschieden oder abgebaut wird. Um die Zirkulationszeit im Blut signifikant zu verl{\"a}ngern, werden die Proteine mit synthetischen Polymeren modifiziert (Protein-Polymer-Konjugate). Die Proteine aller heute auf dem Markt erh{\"a}ltlichen Medikamente dieser Art tragen eine oder mehrere Polymerketten aus Poly(ethylenglycol) (PEG). Ein Nachteil der PEGylierung ist, dass viele Patienten bei regelm{\"a}ßiger Einnahme dieser Medikamente Antik{\"o}rper gegen PEG entwickeln, die den effizienzsteigernden Effekt der PEGylierung wieder aufheben. Ein weiterer Nachteil der PEGylierung ist die oftmals deutlich verringerte Aktivit{\"a}t der Konjugate im Vergleich zum nativen Protein. Der Grund daf{\"u}r ist die Herstellungsmethode der Konjugate, bei der meist die prim{\"a}ren Amine der Lysin-Seitenketten und der N-Terminus des Proteins genutzt werden. Da die meisten Proteine mehrere gut zug{\"a}ngliche Lysine aufweisen, werden oft unterschiedliche und teilweise mehrere Lysine mit PEG funktionalisiert, was zu einer Mischung an Regioisomeren f{\"u}hrt. Je nach Position der PEG-Kette kann das aktive Zentrum abgeschirmt oder die 3D-Struktur des Proteins ver{\"a}ndert werden, was zu einem teilweise drastischen Aktivit{\"a}tsabfall f{\"u}hrt. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine neuartige Methode zur Ligation von Makromolek{\"u}len untersucht. Die Verwendung eines Enzyms als Katalysator zur Verbindung zweier Makromolek{\"u}le ist bisher wenig untersucht und ineffizient. Als Enzym wurde Sortase A ausgew{\"a}hlt, eine gut untersuchte Ligase aus der Familie der Transpeptidasen, welche die Ligation zweier Peptide katalysieren kann. Ein Nachteil dieser Sortase-vermittelten Ligation ist, dass es sich um eine Gleichgewichtsreaktion handelt, wodurch hohe Ausbeuten schwierig zu erreichen sind. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden zwei zuvor entwickelte Methoden zur Verschiebung des Gleichgewichts ohne Einsatz eines großen {\"U}berschusses von einem Edukt f{\"u}r Makromolek{\"u}le {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft. Zur Durchf{\"u}hrung der Sortase-vermittelten Ligation werden zwei komplement{\"a}re Peptidsequenzen verwendet, die Erkennungssequenz und das Nukleophil. Um eine systematische Untersuchung durchf{\"u}hren zu k{\"o}nnen, wurden alle n{\"o}tigen Bausteine (Protein-Erkennungssequenz zur Reaktion mit Nukleophil-Polymer und Polymer-Erkennungssequenz mit Nukleophil-Protein) hergestellt. Als Polymerisationstechnik wurde die radikalische Polymerisation mit reversibler Deaktivierung (im Detail, Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization, ATRP und Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer, RAFT polymerization) gew{\"a}hlt, um eine enge Molmassenverteilung zu erreichen. Die Herstellung der Bausteine begann mit der Synthese der Peptide via automatisierter Festphasen-Peptidsynthese, um eine einfache {\"A}nderung der Peptidsequenz zu gew{\"a}hrleisten und um eine Modifizierung der Polymerkette nach der Polymerisation zu umgehen. Um die ben{\"o}tigte unterschiedliche Funktionalit{\"a}t der zwei Peptidsequenzen (freier C-Terminus bei der Erkennungssequenz bzw. freier N-Terminus bei dem Nukleophil) zu erreichen, wurden verschiedene Linker zwischen Harz und Peptid verwendet. Danach wurde der Ketten{\"u}bertr{\"a}ger (chain transfer agent, CTA) zur Kontrolle der Polymerisation mit dem auf dem Harz befindlichen Peptid gekoppelt. Die f{\"u}r die anschließende Polymerisation verwendeten Monomere basierten auf Acrylamiden und Acrylaten und wurden anhand ihrer Eignung als Alternativen zu PEG ausgew{\"a}hlt. Es wurde eine k{\"u}rzlich entwickelte Technik basierend auf der RAFT-Polymerisation (xanthate-supported photo-iniferter RAFT, XPI-RAFT) verwendet um eine Reihe an Peptid-Polymeren mit unterschiedlichen Molekulargewichten und engen Molekulargewichtsverteilungen herzustellen. Nach Entfernung der Schutzgruppen der Peptid-Seitenketten wurden die Peptid-Polymere zun{\"a}chst genutzt, um mittels Sortase-vermittelter Ligation zwei Polymerketten zu einem Blockcopolymer zu verbinden. Unter Verwendung von Ni2+-Ionen in Kombination mit einer Verl{\"a}ngerung der Erkennungssequenz um ein Histidin zur Unterdr{\"u}ckung der R{\"u}ckreaktion konnte ein maximaler Umsatz von 70 \% erreicht werden. Dabei zeigte sich ein oberes Limit von durchschnittlich 100 Wiederholungseinheiten; die Ligation von l{\"a}ngeren Polymeren war nicht erfolgreich. Danach wurden ein Modellprotein und ein Nanobody mit vielversprechenden medizinischen Eigenschaften mit den f{\"u}r die enzymkatalysierte Ligation ben{\"o}tigten Peptidsequenzen f{\"u}r die Kopplung mit den zuvor hergestellten Peptid-Polymeren verwendet. Dabei konnte bei Verwendung des Modellproteins keine Bildung von Protein-Polymer-Konjugaten beobachtet werden. Der Nanobody konnte dagegen C-terminal mit einem Polymer funktionalisiert werden. Dabei wurde eine {\"a}hnliche Limitierung in der Polymer-Kettenl{\"a}nge beobachtet wie zuvor. Die auf Ni-Ionen basierte Strategie zur Gleichgewichtsverschiebung hatte hier keinen ausschlaggebenden Effekt, w{\"a}hrend die Verwendung von einem {\"U}berschuss an Polymer zur vollst{\"a}ndigen Umsetzung des Edukt-Nanobody f{\"u}hrte. Die erhaltenen Daten aus diesem Projekt bilden eine gute Basis f{\"u}r weitere Forschung in dem vielversprechenden Feld der enzymkatalysierten Herstellung von Protein-Polymer-Konjugaten und Blockcopolymeren.
