摘 要: 在相同的实验条件下,研究了D-半胱氨酸自组装膜对D-或L-天冬氨酸结晶行为的影响.实验结果表明,不同手性的天冬氨酸在D-半胱氨酸自组装膜提供的手性模板环境下表现出某些令人感兴趣的结晶特点.在自组装膜的诱导作用下,D-或L-天冬氨酸都沿着[100]方向择优生长.然而,显微镜图象和高效液相色谱(HPLC)结果都表明,D-或L-天冬氨酸在D-半胱氨酸自组装膜上的结晶数量却有明显不同,L-天冬氨酸的结晶数量远远大于D-天冬氨酸的结晶数量.D-和L-天冬氨酸分子存在镜面对称关系,与D-半胱酸自组装膜接近过程中,空间位阻的差别造成了L-或D-天冬氨酸结晶数量的显著差异. For amino acid, chirality is the most important feature as enantiomers have vastly different biomedicine effects and applications. Thus the research of chiral distinction is of great significance. In this paper, self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) were prepared by D-cysteine attaching to gold(111) surface and D-cysteine SAMs were used as the chiral template to induce the crystallization of D-or L-aspartic acid. Metallographic Microscope, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) were carried out to characterize the crystals grown on the SAMs. The experimental results revealed that SAMs have significant effects on the crystallization habit and nucleation rate of aspartic acid enantiomers. When the crystals were grown on SAMs, the predominant nucleating planes were(100) for both D-and L-aspartic acid. Hydrogen bond between cysteine and aspartic acid(100) plane was the main force. Moreover, XRD results of D-and L-aspartic acid crystals show great difference in the peak strength. Micrographic images and HPLC curves demonstrate that a large quantity of L-aspartic acid crystals were obtained while only a small quantity of D-aspartic acid appeared. L-aspartic acids have much more nucleation sites on chiral SAMs. The above results indicated that the nucleation rate of D-aspartic acid was low. In contrast, the nucleation rate of L-aspartric acid on D-cysteine SAMs was rather effective. D-and L-aspartic acid have the nearly identical solubility, therefore, the chiral environment introduced by D-cysteine SAMs leads to the different crystallization rate of aspartic acid enantiomers. The space hinder between D-aspartic acid and D-cysteine molecules may be the key point, which lowers the nucleation rate of D-aspartic acid.
