The invention features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains one or more bulky groups proximal to the disulfide group. The invention also features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components (i) is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains at least 4 atoms in a chain between the disulfide linkage and the phosphorus atom of the internudeotide bridging group or the terminal group; and where the chain does not contain a phosphate, an amide, an ester, or an alkenylene. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the polynucleotide constructs of the invention.
Disclosed is a method for desulfurization of a hydrocarbon oil (e.g., kerosene which is a raw fuel for a fuel cell) which can effectively remove benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes contained in the hydrocarbon oil under mild conditions to produce a desulfurized hydrocarbon oil having a significantly low sulfur content.
The method comprises the step of desulfurizing the hydrocarbon oil such as kerosene containing benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes with the combination of a solid acid-type desulfurizing agent and an active carbon-type desulfurizing agent. This method can provide a hydrocarbon oil having a significantly low sulfur content. By using the hydrocarbon oil, the operation or maintenance of a fuel cell system can be made easily, a fuel cell itself can be miniaturized in size, and the lifetime of a desulfurizing agent in a desulfurization apparatus equipped in a fuel cell system can be prolonged.
