疏水膜色谱法对生物大分子的快速纯化

首次采用自制的分别级合了辛基、丁基、苯基及聚乙二醇-4000的4种常用疏水基团的纤维素疏水膜色谱柱,以键合了辛基、苯基的SepharoseCL－4B凝胶柱为对照,考察了疏水膜色谱柱对牛血清白蛋白（BSA）的动态吸附容量及流速对吸附容量的影响。疏水膜色谱柱对蛋白及酶具有较好的疏水吸附及纯化作用,但吸附容量比相应的琼脂糖凝胶柱低得多。增大流速及降低蛋白溶液质量浓度对疏水膜色谱柱的吸附容量影响较小,这些性能使膜色谱柱非常适合于大体积低质量浓度蛋白溶液（如基团工程培养液）的分离纯化。

PLLA-PCys co-electrospun fibers for capture and elution of glutathione S-transferase

The copolymer poly(L-lactic acid)-b-poly(L-cysteine) (PLA-b-PCys) was co-electrospun with PLGA into ultrafine fibers. The reduced glutathione (GSH) was conjugated to the fiber surfaces via disulfide bonds. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) was captured onto the GSH fibers via specific substrate-enzyme interaction between the bound GSH and GST. The captured GST was eluted with free GSH aqueous solution and lyophilized to get pure GST powders. The results show that the GSH moieties on the fiber surface retain the bioactivity of the free GSH and thus they can bind specifically with GST and the GST in solution is captured onto the fiber surface. In addition, the bound GSH is not as active as free GSH so that the captured GST can be eluted off from the fiber by free GSH aqueous solution. Based on this principle, GST itself or its fused proteins can be separated and purified very easily. The preliminary purification efficiency is 6.5 mg·(g_PCys)⁻¹. Further improvements are undertaken.     

Substrate Profiling of Glutathione S‐transferase with Engineered Enzymes and Matched Glutathione Analogues

The identification of specific substrates of glutathione S‐transferases (GSTs) is important for understanding drug metabolism. A method termed bioorthogonal identification of GST substrates (BIGS) was developed, in which a reduced glutathione (GSH) analogue was developed for recognition by a rationally engineered GST to label the substrates of the corresponding native GST. A K44G‐W40A‐R41A mutant (GST‐KWR) of the mu‐class glutathione S‐transferases GSTM1 was shown to be active with a clickable GSH analogue (GSH‐R1) as the cosubstrate. The GSH‐R1 conjugation products can react with an azido‐based biotin probe for ready enrichment and MS identification. Proof‐of‐principle studies were carried to detect the products of GSH‐R1 conjugation to 1‐chloro‐2,4‐dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and dopamine quinone. The BIGS technology was then used to identify GSTM1 substrates in the Chinese herbal medicine Ganmaocongji.     

Effect of protein binding on high performance liquid chromatography analysis of drugs with an internal-surface reversed-phase silica column

The effect of protein binding on the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) elution profile of drugs injected directly onto an internal-surface reversed-phase (ISRP) silica column was investigated. When a relatively large volume (greater than or equal to 100 microliters) of the sample solution containing warfarin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was applied directly onto the ISRP column and elution was carried out with the mobile phase containing an organic modifier, two distinct peaks, both due to warfarin, appeared separated from the protein peak. The peak splitting was not observed in the case of antipyrine-BSA mixed solution, where the protein binding is weak. It was found that the drug bound at the strong-binding site on the BSA molecule was released slowly during the process of chromatography and was eluted as the first peak with a shorter retention time, while the drug bound at the weak-binding site was released quickly, and was eluted as the second peak together with the free drug. The warfarin-BSA interaction at the strong-binding site was evaluated, under minimum influence from the other binding site, from the warfarin concentration obtained from the first peak and the free warfarin concentration determined by the ultrafiltration method.     

Polypropylene fibers modified by plasma treatment for preparation of Ag nanoparticles

A novel method for preparing poly(propylene-graft-2-methacrylic acid 3-(bis-carboxymethylamino)-2-hydroxy-propyl ester)-silver fibers (PPG-IAg fibers) by plasma-induced grafting polymerization is presented in this study. The chelating groups, -N(CH2COO-)2 (GMA-IDA), on the surface of the PPG-I fibers are the coordination sites for chelating silver ions. At these sites, Ag nanoparticles were grown first by reduction with UV light with a wavelength of 366 nm, and second, through immersion in a 24% formaldehyde solution with pH values set variously at 2, 5, 8, and 11. The characteristics of the PPG-I fibers with differing durations of plasma treatment were monitored by using a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscope. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis show that the percentage of GMA-IDA grafted onto PP fiber reaches a maximum when the plasma treatment time is 3 min. Plasma treatment time beyond a certain length of time results in an abundance of free radicals and causes considerable cross-linking on the fiber surface which thus decreases the extent of grafting. Moreover, the crystalline phase of Ag nanoparticles is identified by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). When the PPG-I fibers are reduced by the UV light method, SEM and TEM microscopes reveal that the size of the Ag nanoparticles on the fiber surface decreases significantly with the increase of pH values in aqueous solutions. Notably, in the reduction of formaldehyde solution, the particle size of Ag nanoparticles reaches a minimum at the lowest pH value. The TEM observations show that Ag nanoparticles are distributed both in the exterior and interior of the grafting layer. In addition, under high pH values the distribution of the Ag nanoparticles permeate more deeply in the GMA-IDA grafting layer due to the swelling effect of the GMA-IDA polymer.     

采用SFAD将碳酸酐酶偶联至无活性官能团聚合物表面的新方法

Effect of polyethyleneimine ion on the sorption of a reactive dye onto Leacril fabric: electrokinetic properties and surface free energy of the system

Data are presented on the kinetics, electrokinetics, and surface free energy in the process of adsorption of polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a pretreatment of Leacril, later dyed with the reactive dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). The electrokinetic potential of Leacril is negative, due probably to the presence of sulfonate and sulfate end-group onto Leacril fibers. The zeta potential of Leacril decreases in absolute value as a function of NaCl concentration in solution, probably because of compression of the electrical double layer. The zeta potential of Leacril as a function of the concentration of PEI in solution increases because of the adsorption of PEI ions through chemical reaction between the sulfonate end-groups of Leacril and the amine groups of PEI. The adsorption kinetics shows that an increase in the concentration of PEI, brings about an increase in the amount of RBBR adsorbed onto the fiber. This may be an indication of the chemical reaction between the reactive groups of the polyelectrolyte and dye molecules. The behavior of the surface free energy of the systems involved confirms these conclusions.     

Study on morphology of electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) mats

Submicron poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber mats were prepared by electrospinning of aqueous PVA solutions in 6-8% concentration. Fiber morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscope and effects of instrument parameters including electric voltage, tip-target distance, flow rate and solution parameters such as concentration on the morphology of electrospun PVA fibers were evaluated. Results showed that, when PVA with higher degree of hydrolysis (DH) of 98% was used, tip-target distance exhibited no significant effect on the fiber morphology, however the morphological structure can be slightly changed by changing the solution flow rate. At high voltages above 10 kV, electrospun PVA fibers exhibited a broad diameter distribution. With increasing solution concentration, the morphology was changed from beaded fiber to uniform fiber and the average fiber diameter could be increased from 87 ± 14 nm to 246 ± 50 nm. It was also found that additions of sodium chloride and ethanol had significant effects on the fiber diameter and the morphology of electrospun PVA fibers because of the different solution conductivity, surface tension and viscosity. When the DH value of PVA was increased from 80% to 99%, the morphology electrospun PVA fibers was changed from ribbon-like fibers to uniform fibers and then to beaded fibers. The addition of aspirin and bovine serum albumin also resulted in the appearance of beads.     

Coordination and hydrogen bond-coadjusted highly stretchable wet-spun poly(acrylic acid) fiber and its stable activity as Fenton catalyst

High stretching is an effective route to attain high performance fiber. Therefore, the stretchability of wet-spun poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) fiber is important for the preparation of high performance PAA fiber by stretching. A combination of coordination and hydrogen bonding was synergistically used to prepare highly stretchable wet-spun PAA fibers, and high stretching was subsequently carried out to induce the production of molecular orientation and fibrillar crystals, which can remarkably enhance the strength of resulting fiber. The breaking strength of stretched fiber reached up to 1.631cN/dtex, increasing by 2813% compared to that of unstretched fiber. Moreover, high stretching was used to thin the resulting fiber and promote the transformation of PAA chains from coiled to extensional conformation, so that the carboxyl groups wrapped by coiled PAA chains were exposed to the environment. When the highly stretched fiber was used to decolorize methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution, the exposed carboxyl groups can quickly re-coordinate with the iron ions eluted by MB aqueous solution to minimize the loss of iron ions. The measurement results showed that the average concentration of eluted iron ions was only 3.20 mg/L during 40 operation cycles for the highly stretched fiber, decreasing by 64.0% compared to that of unstretched fiber. Due to low iron ion leaching-out, the highly stretched fiber showed superstable activity in catalyzing H₂O₂ to oxidatively decolorize MB. The research results revealed that the obtained fiber can decolorize more than 90% MB within 3 min during 40 cycles without showing any obvious attenuation in decolorization efficiency and decolorization rate. In this case, the Fenton catalysts reported by literature are scarcely comparable to the prepared fiber in many aspects. Therefore, the fiber prepared in this work can be expected to show great potential for application in the field of dye wastewater treatment.     

Modeling of the Ion Exchange in Pulp Suspensions by Gibbs Energy Minimization

The ion exchange processes, which occur when two compartments of aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable interface are placed in aqueous electrolyte solutions, were modeled using the multiphase Gibbs energy-minimization method. The Gibbs energy-minimization technique was applied for the ion-exchange system consisting of pulp fibers and the surrounding aqueous bulk solution. In such a system, the anionic acid groups inside the fibers cause an uneven distribution of ionic species between the solution within the fiber walls and the solution external to the fibers. The method was tested with four cation concentrations, which are naturally present in the fibers and whose partitioning between the fiber phase and the external solution phase has been described earlier. Although the Donnan distribution constant is not explicitly calculated in the Gibbs energy-minimization model, the results are consistent with the Donnan equilibrium theory. With the Gibbs energy-minimization multiphase model, the formation of solid precipitates can also be calculated.     

Preparation of an ion-imprinted fiber for the selective removal of Cu2+

A novel Cu(2+)-imprinted fiber (IIF) was prepared by grafting acrylic acid (AA) onto the surface of a polypropylene (PP) fiber and subsequently modified with polyethylenimine (PEI). An examination by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the ion-imprinted polymer was successfully introduced onto the surface of a PP fiber. The modification of PP fibers with AA was beneficial to the grafting of PEI onto the fibers. The highest grafting degree of PEI could reach 120 wt % under optimal grafting conditions. This IIF showed excellent tensile and chemical stability in acid solution, which qualified the IIF for practical applications. Besides having a high adsorption capacity for Cu(2+) (120 mg/g), the IIF adsorbent showed a high selectivity for Cu(2+) as compared with that of the non-ion-imprinted fiber (NIF). The dynamic adsorption results indicated that IIF can thoroughly remove Cu(2+) from the solution in a relatively short contact time. The effective treatment volume was about 910 bed volumes. The selectivity coefficient of IIF for Cu(2+) with respect to Zn(2+) could reach 76.4. IIF also has good regeneration performance and could maintain almost the same adsorption capacity for copper ions after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles.
