Showtime for Photosynthesis

Using a unique combination of nanoscale imaging and chemical analysis, an international team of researchers has revealed a key step in the molecular mechanism behind the water splitting reaction of photosynthesis, a finding that could help inform the design of renewable energy technology.

“Life depends on the oxygen that plants and algae split from water; how they do it is still a mystery, but scientists, including our team, are slowly peeling away the layers to get to the answer,” said Vittal K. Yachandra, co-lead author of a new study published in PNAS and a chemist senior scientist at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). “If we can understand this step of natural photosynthesis, it would enable us to use those design principles for building artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water.”

With an instrument that the team designed and fabricated, they analyzed photosynthetic proteins using both X-ray crystallography and X-ray emission spectroscopy. This dual approach, which the team pioneered and have been refining for the past 10 years, generates chemical and protein structure information from the same sample at the same time. The imaging was performed with the X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the LCLS at SLAC National Laboratory, and at SACLA in Japan.

“With this technique, we get the overall picture of how the entire protein structure dynamically changes and we see the chemical intricacies occurring at the reaction site,” said co-lead author Junko Yano, a chemist senior scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging (MBIB) Division. “The X-ray free electron laser produces extremely bright, short bursts of X-rays that allow us to not only analyze a protein at room temperature, which is how these reactions occur in nature, but also capture various moments over the reaction time scale.”

Traditional crystallography methods often require the sample proteins to be frozen; consequently, they can only generate snapshots of static proteins. This limitation makes it difficult for scientists to get a handle on how proteins actually behave in living organisms, because the molecules morph between different physical states during chemical reactions.

“The water-splitting reaction in photosynthesis is a cyclical process that needs four photons and cycles between four stable ‘states,’” said Yano. “Previously, we could only take pictures of these four states. But by taking multiple snapshots in time, we now can visualize how one state goes to the other.”

“We saw, really nicely, how the structure changes step-by-step as it transforms from one state to the next state,” said Jan F. Kern, MBIB chemist and co-author. “It is pretty exciting, because we can see the ‘cause and effect’ and the role that each moving atom plays in this transition.”

Nicholas K. Sauter, co-author and MBIB computational senior scientist, added: “Essentially, we’re trying to take a ‘movie’ of a chemical reaction. We made a lot of progress to get to this point, in terms of our technology and our computational analyses. The work of our co-author Paul Adams and others in MBIB was critical to interpreting the XFEL and X-ray data. But we still have to get the other frames to see how the reaction is completed and the enzyme is ready for the next cycle.”

The Berkeley Lab researchers hope to continue the project once the many research sites that the entire international team relies upon – located in the U.S., Japan, Switzerland, and South Korea – are operating normally following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kern concluded by noting that the technological milestone presented in this paper benefited greatly from the diverse expertise of the authors from SLAC, Uppsala and Umeå Universities in Sweden, Humboldt University in Germany, and from the capabilities of five DOE Office of Science user facilities: the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource and LCLS at Stanford University, and the Advanced Light Source, Energy Sciences Network, and National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Berkeley Lab.

Other Berkeley Lab scientists who contributed to this work include: Ruchira Chatterjee, Louise Lassalle, Kyle D. Sutherlin, Iris D. Young, Sheraz Gul, In-Sik Kim, Philipp S. Simon, Isabel Bogacz, Cindy C. Pham, Nicholas Saichek, Trent Northen, Asmit Bhowmick, Robert Bolotovsky, Derek Mendez, Nigel W. Moriarty, James M. Holton, Aaron S. Brewster, and David Skinner.

This research was supported primarily by the DOE Office of Science and grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Pilotprojekt für 5G- Antennen-Gehäuse: 5G schlicht bis schrill: Partner pimpen Design

New Post has been published on https://www.chemieunternehmen.com/pilotprojekt-fuer-5g-antennen-gehaeuse-5g-schlicht-bis-schrill-partner-pimpen-design/

Pilotprojekt für 5G- Antennen-Gehäuse: 5G schlicht bis schrill: Partner pimpen Design

Covestro, die Deutsche Telekom und das schwedische Umeå Institute of Design (UID) kooperieren für 5G. In einem Pilotprojekt testen die Partner kreative Designs für kleine 5G-Antennen. Mit diesen innovativen Gehäuse-Lösungen werden beispielsweise so genannte Small Cells aufgebaut. Small Cells sind kleine Mobilfunkzellen. Sie steigern den Datendurchsatz dort, wo viele Kunden unterwegs sind oder surfen. Die Partner entwickeln Antennen-Gehäuse, die ins Stadtbild passen. Entweder fallen sie vorteilhaft auf, oder sie fügen sich harmonisch in die Umgebung ein.

„Das gemeinsame Pilotprojekt ist eine tolle Gelegenheit, um das Potenzial und die herausragenden Eigenschaften unserer Werkstoffe zu verdeutlichen“, sagt Sucheta Govil, Chief Commercial Officer von Covestro. „Innovative, anpassungsfähige Materialien ermöglichen zukünftig einen kreativen Spielraum, um die Verbreitung digitaler Schlüsseltechnologien mit nutzerfreundlichen Lösungen zu beschleunigen.“

Neue Telekommunikations-Infrastruktur Die Unternehmen ergänzen sich im Projekt. Covestro entwickelt innovative und nachhaltige Werkstofflösungen, die sich bereits in einer Vielzahl von Elektro- und Elektronik-Anwendungen bewährt haben und die hohen technischen Anforderungen erfüllen. Die Telekom bringt ihr technologisches Know-how über Antennen für Mobilfunk und Netzausbau ein. Die Studierenden des UID konzipieren kreative Designs. Sie führten zunächst eine Studie im realen Umfeld in Düsseldorf durch. Dann entwarfen sie attraktive Antennen-Gehäuse. Deren Farbe und Struktur entsprechen den technischen und ästhetischen Anforderungen. Das Ergebnis sind verschiedene Design-Konzepte. Jetzt gibt es zwei exemplarische Modelle: Vogel und Uhr. Das Vogel-Konzept „The Bird“ betrachtet 5G aus einem neuen Blickwinkel und verschiebt die Grenzen des Denkbaren. Das Uhr-Design „24h5G“ integriert neue Materialeigenschaften wie Lichtdurchlässigkeit und Wärmemanagement für 5G Small Cell-Antennen-Gehäuse. Messebesucher sehen die Exponate ab heute am Stand von Covestro auf der „K 2019“. Die K ist die internationale Fachmesse für Kunststoff und Kautschuk in Düsseldorf.

Kompakte Antennen steigern gezielt die Datenkapazität Die Telekom installiert für 5G künftig mehr Small Cells. Zum Beispiel an Ampeln, Laternen oder Fassaden. Die kompakten Antennen haben eine Reichweite von rund 200 Metern. Sie werden über Glasfaser ans Netz der Telekom angeschlossen. Das sorgt für einen extrem schnellen Transport der Daten. Die künftigen Netze sind somit sehr leistungsfähig. Zusammen mit den herkömmlichen Standorten liefert das Netz so die notwendige Abdeckung und Kapazität für immer mehr drahtlose Geräte. Die Telekom setzt Small Cells auch im LTE-Ausbau bereits ein.

„In dem Design-Projekt mit Covestro konnten wir unsere technischen Anforderungen früh platzieren und gemeinsam mit den Studierenden an ihren Design-Ideen arbeiten“, sagt Dr. Thomas Jansen, Leiter Kompetenzteam Kleinzellen bei der Deutschen Telekom Technik. „So haben wir gemeinsam leistungsstarke 5G Lösungen entwickelt, die wir harmonisch in das Stadtbild integrieren können.“

It employs an interactive learning environment using a combination of lectures, documentary films, debates and open discussions, bringing together leading academics and practitioners and focusing on legal refugee protection. Please register before 31 May 2019; to benefit from early registration, please apply by 15 May 2019.

Grants and Awards:

The Umeå University Industrial Doctoral School, in collaboration with two non-profit organisations, is recruiting a PhD candidate in political science to a position focusing on human trafficking in Asia. The projects aims at exploring local perceptions and experiences of human trafficking in Asia, thereby pushing the research field forward and more effectively reducing human trafficking. The application deadline is 20 May 2019.

Calls for papers:

A call for contributions has been launched for a conference in October on the Tampere Conclusions adopted by the European Council twenty years ago and which influenced EU migration and asylum policies. The conference, organised by the EMN-Finland, the European Policy Centre (EPC) and the Odysseus Academic Network, will explore: partnership with third countries; a common European Asylum System; fair treatment of third-country nationals, and management of migration flows. The closing date for submitting contributions is 10 May 2019.

Forced Migration Review is calling for articles on the right of voluntary return in safety for displaced persons, an issue that is to be explored in-depth in its October 2019 edition. Debates will touch on political, legal and socio-economic questions as well as the central principle of non-refoulement. The October issue will provide a forum for practitioners, advocates, policymakers, researchers and those directly affected to look at recent developments, and share experience and good practice. Ahead of sending in articles, please email the Editors to discuss your ideas for an article. The deadline for the submission of articles is 17 June 2019.

The International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) invites letters of enquiry to host the IASFM Secretariat for an initial mandate of 5 years. IASFM brings together academics, practitioners and decision-makers working on forced migration issues. The first IASFM International Secretariat was hosted at the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford. Most recently, the Institute for the Study of International Migration, Georgetown University, USA, hosted the Secretariat until 2018. Submissions, by 30 June 2019, and requests for more information should be sent here.

Conferences and Workshops:

Public Policy Exchange will hold an international symposium on 15 May 2019, on the causes of human trafficking and migrant smuggling, and multi-agency approaches to prevent it. Participants will have the chance to share new ideas to offer support and protections to victims of human trafficking. EU officials, stakeholders, legal practitioners and other responsible authorities are invited to the symposium, and early booking is advised, by writing here.

An informal celebratory gathering hosted by the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University will be held to honour and remember the life of Dr Barbara Harrell-Bond OBE, founder of the Centre and tireless advocate for refugees. The gathering will take place at the Oxford Department of International Development, 3 Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TB on Saturday, 20 July 2019, 4:00-6:30 pm. The date marks the one year anniversary of her passing. This invitation is extended to her friends, family, colleagues and the many refugees whose lives she touched. West African music will be part of the festivities. Please RSVP here, by 3 July 2019.

Exploring Chemical Industrial Cellular Modem Changes at the Molecular Scale

Using X-ray emission spectroscopy, a team of researchers reveal chemical information about molecules before they are destroyed.

Research at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory demonstrates that ultrashort, ultrabright X-ray laser pulses can reveal details of chemically important molecules at room temperature and in their natural state. The technique could aid studies of photosynthesis and industrial catalysts, and opens the door to development of other analytic tools at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source.

In the experiments, researchers used a technique known as X-ray emission spectroscopy to learn about the chemical makeup of samples and chemical changes occurring over time.

While spectroscopy has long been used at synchrotron facilities, sensitive samples are typically frozen to protect them from radiation damage, which in turn makes it very challenging to follow chemical reactions. The team has now shown that with the LCLS X-ray laser, these difficulties can be overcome.

A very simple example of a spectrometer is a prism that separates sunlight into a rainbow of colors. “The spectrometer used in the LCLS exp industrial M2M router eriments works in a similar fashion, with an array of 16 specialized crystals that select the diff industrial IoT Gateway erent ‘colors’ of emitted X-rays,” said Roberto Alonso-Mori, a research associate at SLAC who was in charge of building the new spectrometer.

He was first author of a Nov. 5 paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences detailing the research.

The team, led by Uwe Bergmann, deputy director for the LCLS, and Junko Yano and Vittal Yachandra at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, focused on complexes containing manganese, an important element in the water-splitting step of photosynthesis. Similar complexes are also integral to some industrial catalysts.

Bergmann said the manganese compounds remained intact long enough to obtain detailed information about their chemical environment before being destroyed in the X-ray pulses.

“Previous experiments at LCLS have shown that the intact overall atomic structure of biological samples can be probed at room temperature before they are destroyed,” he said. “This study goes one step further, showing that even the local chemistry at the metal site can be probed.”

Team member Jan Kern, a research scientist at LCLS and Berkeley Lab, said, “The success of the experiments opens the door for more studies of metal-containing proteins and catalysts, especially the water-splitting catalyst in photosynthesis, and also to other types of spectroscopic techniques at LCLS.”

The technique can also be used in conjunction with X-ray diffraction, which reveals the overall structures of proteins and other molecules based on patterns produced when the X-ray light strikes the crystallized samples.

The research Vending Telemeter team has previously used diffraction at LCLS to study the structure of Photosystem II, and researchers have since conducted additional experiments using spectroscopy, with more experiments planned.

Bergmann said spectroscopy is the key to revealing chemical changes over time in sensitive samples studied at LCLS. “The atomic structure is important, but for a complete understanding of complex processes, like photosynthesis, the chemistry is what’s really important,” he said. “This paper is the first step.”

The team also included scientists from SLAC’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, the Stanford PULSE Institute, Technical University Berlin in Germany, Stockholm and Umeå universities in Sweden and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France.
