Zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles: preparation, characterization and application to the enrichment of phosphopeptides

Phosphorylation, one of the most important post-translational modifications of protein, plays a crucial role in a large number of biological processes. Large-scale identification of protein phosphorylation by mass spectrometry is still a challenging task because of the low abundance of phosphopeptides and sub-stoichiometry of phosphorylation. In this work, a novel strategy based on the specific affinity of zirconium arsenate to the phosphate group has been developed for the effective enrichment of phosphopeptides. Zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles (ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)) were prepared by covalent immobilization of zirconium arsenate on Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles under mild conditions, and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The prepared ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) was applied for the selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from the digestion mixture of phosphoproteins and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Our results demonstrated that the ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles possess higher selectivity for phosphopeptides and better capture capability towards multiply-phosphorylated peptides than commercial zirconium dioxide (ZrO(2)), which has been widely employed for the enrichment of phosphopeptides. In addition, endogenous phosphopeptides from human serum can be effectively captured by ZrAs-Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) magnetic nanoparticles. It is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, in which the zirconium arsenate-modified magnetic nanoparticles were successfully applied to the enrichment of phosphopeptides, which offers the potential application of this new material in phosphoproteomics study.

Core/shell Fe3O4 @SiO2 nanoparticles modified with PAH as a vector for EGFP plasmid DNA delivery into HeLa cells

Novel stable core/shell Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)/PAH nanoparticles are synthesized using 15 nm Fe(3)O(4) as the template that is modified with PAH. The resulting nanoparticles can absorb plasmid DNA to mediate gene transfer in cultured HeLa cells. An electrophoretic assay suggests that the Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)/PAH nanoparticles protect the plasmid DNA from serum and DNase I degradation. A cell viability assay shows that the Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)/PAH nanoparticles exhibit a low cytotoxicity toward endothelial cells. Qualitative analysis of transfection in HeLa cells by nanoparticles carrying a plasmid DNA encoding EGFP demonstrates a fairly high expression level, even in the presence of serum. Thus, Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)/PAH nanoparticles are biocompatible and suitable for nonviral delivery, and may find applications in cancer therapy.

A high resolution GC-analysis method for determination of C2-C10 hydrocarbons in air samples

An analytical method for the determination of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) in air was developed using simultaneously pressure and temperature programmed gas chromatography (GC) on a capillary column. The separation of C2-C10 hydrocarbons was performed in a single GC-run using a fused silica capillary column (FSCC) with a chemically bonded non-polar stationary phase (CP-Sil-5-CB). A combination of on-column cryofocusing and GC reinjection provided baseline separation of C2 hydrocarbons at subambient initial temperature (?40°C). The cryofocusing was performed on the column head immersed in liquid nitrogen. Quantitative retention of all C2-C10 hydrocarbons was achieved only when a temperature gradient is created along the cooled column section. The focused components are eluted from the column head without supplementary heating by removing the coolant. To eliminate matrix effects, the enrichment procedure was designed to remove CO₂ and H₂O. The detection limit was found to be 2.0 × 10^?12 g propane.
