In this communication, the surface activity of the ovalbumin (OVA) at the air/water interface was studied to establish the nature of the interaction with the stearic acid (SA) monolayer, based on Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique. The interaction was monitored by studying the time (t) variation of surface pressure (π) at constant area (A). The growth of π with time indicates a positive association between the SA and the OVA molecules. The surface compressibility analysis has been performed to specify the phase transition of OVA–SA mixed monolayer. Incorporation/association of OVA within the SA monolayer led to noteworthy changes in surface compressibility and was surface pressure as well as protein concentration dependent. Both the hydrophobic and the Vander wall type interactions are found to be responsible for the association. The quenching of tyrosine band in tryptophan excitation spectrum is observed in steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. This suggests that the tyrosine is the probable binding site with SA. Due to incorporation of SA, the energy transfer from tyrosine to tryptophan is hindered. At higher pressure, OVA tend to squeeze out from the SA monolayer. The high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) image confirms this observation. Aggregated protein structure observed at high pressure indicates unfolding of protein. 相似文献

Hybrid films composed of amphiphilic molecules and clay particles were constructed by the modified Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. Clays used were sodium montmorillonite (denoted as mont) and synthetic smectite containing Co(II) ions in the octahedral sites (denoted as Co). Two kinds of amphiphilic molecules were used-[Ru(dC(18)bpy)(phen)2](ClO4)2 (dC(18)bpy = 4,4'-dioctadecyl-2,2'-bipyridyl and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (denoted as Ru) and octadecylammonium choloride (ODAH+Cl- or denoted as ODAH). Three kinds of hybrid films (denoted as Ru-mont, Ru-Co, and ODAH-Co films) were prepared by spreading an amphiphilic molecule onto an aqueous suspension of a clay. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses of the films deposited on silicon wafers indicated that closely packed films were obtained at 20 ppm for all the above three cases. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was measured on an ITO electrode modified with a hybrid film or a monolayer film of pure Ru(II) complex salt (denoted as Ru film). The Ru(II) complexes incorporated in the Ru-mont film lost their redox activity, indicating that montmorillonite layers acted as a barrier against electron transfer. In contrast, the same complexes in the Ru-Co film were electrochemically active with the simultaneous appearance of the redox peaks due to the Co(II)/Co(III) (or Co(II)/Co(IV)) couple. The results implied that electron transfer through cobalt clay layers was possible via mediation by Co(II) ions in a clay sheet. For an aqueous solution containing nitrite ions (NO2-) at pH 3.0, a large catalytic oxidation current was observed for both the electrodes modified with the Ru-mont and Ru-Co films. The results were interpreted in terms of the mechanisms that the charge separation of an incorporated Ru(II) complex took place to produce a pair of a Ru(III) complex and an electron and that the generated Ru(III) complex was reduced by a nitrite ion before it recombined with the electron. 相似文献

The photopolymerization of thin (monolayer and bilayer) Langmuir-Blodgett films of the lead salt of 2-docosynoic acid (CH3(CH2)18C≡CCOOH, DCA), with a triple bond near the carboxylic group, and the lead salt of 23-tetracosynoic acid (HC≡C(CH2)21COOH, TCA), with a triple bond far from the carboxyl group, has been investigated by IR spectroscopy. The principal distinctions between the polymerization kinetics of the DCA salt and that of the TCA salt are observed for bilayers. It is hypothesized that the perfection of the molecular packing in the bilayers is governed by the interlayer interaction of carboxyl groups, which exerts a stronger effect on the mutual orientation of the triple bonds in the DCA salt films as compared to the TCA salt films. A model is suggested for describing the kinetics of the two-dimensional photopolymerization of monoacetylenic compounds. A comparison between simulated and experimental data for the monolayer films demonstrates that the observed saturation of conversion (α) as a function of the UV exposure time (t) at the α ≈ 0.5?0.6 level can be attributed to the fact that the intermolecular distance lengthens with local film densification during polymerization. The effects of the substrate and the orientation of molecules in the layer on α (t) is reported. 相似文献

Mixed monolayer surfactant films of perfluorotetradecanoic acid and the photopolymerizable diacetylene molecule 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid were prepared at the air-water interface and transferred onto solid supports via Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition. The addition of the perfluoroacid to the diacetylene surfactant results in enhanced stabilization of the monolayer in comparison with the pure diacetylene alone, allowing film transfer onto a solid substrate without resorting to addition of cations in the subphase or photopolymerization prior to deposition. The resulting LB films consisted of well-defined phase-separated domains of the two film components, and the films were characterized by a combination of atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging and fluorescence emission microscopy both before and after photopolymerization into the highly emissive "red form" of the polydiacetylene. Photopolymerization of the monolayer films resulted in the formation of diacetylene bilayers, which were highly fluorescent, with the apparent rate of photopolymerization and the fluorescence emission of the films being largely unaffected by the presence of the perfluoroacid. 相似文献

The use of natural substances in health applications may be hampered by the difficulties in establishing the mechanisms of action, especially at molecular-level. The protein-polysaccharide complex extracted from the mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill, referred to as CAb, has been considered for treating various diseases with probable interaction with cell membranes. In this study, we investigate the interaction between CAb and a cell membrane model represented by a Langmuir monolayer of dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid (DMPA). CAb affects the structural properties of DMPA monolayers causing expansion and increasing compressibility. In addition, interaction with DMPA polar heads led to neutralization of the electrical double layer, yielding a zero surface potential at large areas per molecule. CAb remained at the interface even at high surface pressures, which allowed transfer of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films onto solid supports with the CAb-DMPA mixture. The mass transferred, according to quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements, increased linearly with the number of deposited layers. With UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and FTIR spectroscopies, we confirmed that the LB films contain polysaccharides, proteins and DMPA. Therefore, the CAb biological action must be attributed not only to polysaccharides but also to proteins in the complex. 相似文献

Studies of monolayer/substrate adhesion as function of the monolayer headgroup charge: DMPE and DMPA
The variation of the work of adhesion between lipid monolayers and a plane silicon oxide surface in a typical LB-configuration is measured as function of the subphase pH. The adhesion energy is deduced via fluorescence microscopy from the equilibrium meniscus height. With increasing pH the negative headgroup charge of both, dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) and dimyristoylphosphatidic acid (DMPA) monolayers increases. The increasing charge of DMPE is reflected in a measured decrease of the work of adhesion at higher pH. The DMPA/SiO2 interaction is not affected by increasing headgroup charges. These results are qualitatively understood in terms of an electrostatic double layer interaction between charged surfaces. It predicts decreasing adhesion for increasing, but low surface charge densities (DMPE). whereas the adhesion is constant for high surface charge densities (DMPA). 相似文献

A molecular rotor in which a naphthalene rotator is attached through a silicon atom to three fatty acid chains has been synthesized, and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques were used to deposit on silica surfaces monolayers of its calcium salt, both neat and diluted with stearic acid salts. The monolayer films have been characterized by ellipsometry and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) grazing-incidence attenuated total internal reflection (GATR) spectroscopy on Si-SiO(2) and by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy on SiO(2). The measurements were combined with calculations of the electronic (INDO/S) and vibrational (DFT) transition moment directions to deduce the average orientation of the rotor molecules, including the naphthalene ring, relative to the surface. In both neat and mixed films, the naphthalene ring is found to preferentially tilt toward the surface, enough that its rotation is most likely hindered. A comparable picture was obtained from molecular mechanics calculations on a mixed film of the naphthalene rotor and stearic acid. 相似文献

We report the synthesis of monodisperse Pt nanocrystals with three different shapes-cubes, cuboctahedra, and octahedra, selectively, with similar sizes of 9-10 nm by a modified polyol process. We found that addition of silver ion enhances the crystal growth rate along 100, and essentially determines the shape and surface structure of the Pt nanocrystals. After the reaction, the silver species can be easily removed by repetitive precipitation giving pure Pt nanoparticles. Two-dimensional arrays of the Pt nanocrystals were assembled by using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The particles were evenly distributed on the entire substrate, and their surface coverage and density can be precisely controlled by tuning the surface pressure. The resulting Pt LB layers are potential candidates for 2-D model catalysts as a result of their high surface area and the structural uniformity of the metal nanocrystals. 相似文献

Interaction of native ovalbumin (OVA) with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer has been studied at the air-water interface. A compressibility study shows the positive association with DPPC. Adsorption kinetics shows that the protein adsorption is a one-step process and the amount of protein adsorbed depends on the concentration of protein at the water subphase. Incorporation of protein into the DPPC layer is surface-pressure dependent. The compressibility study indicates that the DPPC-OVA interaction is hydrophobic in nature and structural reorganization is eminent to adjust the hydrophobic mismatch between DPPC acyl chains and OVA hydrophobic moieties. At higher pressure, OVA tends to squeeze out from the DPPC monolayer. A nanometer scale FE-SEM image confirms this observation. Globular aggregates of protein of dimension 60-80 nm were observed in DPPC-OVA supported film. Steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy suggests that the tryptophan residues of OVA are main emitting species. The blue shift of tryptophan fluorescence in supported film may be due to the tryptophan molecule of protein exposed to the hydrophobic air phase. 相似文献

The film tension of bilayer Newton black films (NBF) from aqueous dispersions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been studied in dynamic conditions. The dynamic film tension values γ have been measured using the capillary method for direct measurement of the film tension. Two different solutions have been used: DMPC vesicle suspension in water obtained through sonication, denoted as ‘DMPC(Son)’ (the DMPC adsorption layers are insoluble monolayers) and DMPC dissolved in ethanol plus water mixed solvent, denoted as ‘DMPC(EthW)’ (the DMPC adsorption layers are soluble). Both solutions contain 0.1 M NaCl. The behavior of the dynamic film tension is different for NBF from the two types of solutions. In the case DMPC(Son) γ strongly depends on the film area, while in the case DMPC(EthW) this dependence is less pronounced but still exists. The dependence of the film tension on the film area in case DMPC(Son) is well described by the Frumkin equation modified for bilayer films. Reasonable values of the parameters of Frumkin equation are determined from its fit to the experimental data. 相似文献

The rate of domain growth in phase-separated, mixed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers of arachidic acid, C(19)H(39)COOH (AA) and perfluorotetradecanoic acid, C(13)F(27)COOH (PA) was tracked via atomic force microscope measurements. The growth rate of domains comprised of phase-separated AA was consistent with that predicted by the Lifshitz-Slyozov model for diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening. In addition to Ostwald ripening, some evidence for domain coalescence was also observed when LB films were deposited under conditions of low temperature and short incubation times, though this tendency disappeared at higher deposition temperatures. 相似文献

We immobilized a hemicyanine dye, Di-8-ANEPPS, in ordered thin films of an organic matrix, dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP), and we transferred the mixed monolayers onto solid support by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. We used gold and quartz slides and indium tin oxide (ITO) evaporated on glass slides as substrates. The multilayers formation was confirmed by ellipsometric and contact angle measurements. The optical response of the nanostructures was investigated collecting UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission intensity profiles. 相似文献

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films from diazobenzene Sudan III have been investigated using surface potential measurements as a function of number of layers and deposition pressures, with the surface potential data being related to molecular dipole moments obtained from theoretical electronic structure calculations. The surface potential increased with the number of layers for SIII LB films, and then tended to saturate. Results from density functional theory (DFT) and UV-vis spectroscopy indicated that the increase is due to addition of layers with oriented molecular dipoles, with the saturation tendency being attributed to a decrease in the amount of material deposited in each layer. The surface potential increased with the surface pressure used for deposition, probably owing to a higher contribution from the vertical component of the dipole moment as a closer molecular packing, which is associated with decreasing conformational entropy, was reached. 相似文献

In this work, we present a methodology for choosing the best experimental conditions for transferring protein Langmuir films onto solid substrates. As an example of applying the proposed methodology, we used monolayers of the protein bovine serum albumin, which is a very stable protein and is of great interest in the development of immunosensors. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of this protein, on different solid substrates, were obtained and characterized as a function of pH, surface pressure, temperature, and contact angle. The compressibility modulus, the spreading entropy, and the fraction of desorbed protein sections were used as control parameters to find these conditions. A careful analysis of these parameters shows that there is a window on the values of these experimental parameters in which the LB films are best formed. Our methodology can be applied to other biomacromolecules to find the best conditions to form LB films from isotherm measurements. 相似文献

The formation and properties of a new class of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of aryl isocyanides and diisocyanides based on the nonbenzenoid azulenic framework have been investigated using FTIR spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Syntheses of several new members of the isocyanoazulene family, a recently established type of aryl isocyanides, are reported as well. The FTIR spectra for the isocyanoazulene derivatives absorbed on the gold surface indicate the terminal upright coordination of every isocyanoazulene molecule studied. In addition, the ellipsometric thicknesses have been measured and are consistent with those calculated for single monolayers of the isocyanides oriented along the surface normal. Unlike SAMs of some benzenoid aryl isocyanides, the nonbenzenoid isocyanoazule-based SAMs proved resistant to oxidation, oligomerization, and isomerization into the corresponding nitriles under ambient conditions, which is an important prerequisite to their future applications. 相似文献

Interaction of liposomes (phospholipid vesicles) with human erythrocytes was studied by means of a spectroscopic method. Transfer of hemoglobin between liposomes and erythrocytes was observed. This transfer was mediated by a migration of band 3 proteins. In this case, a transfer of band 4.5 also was observed by means of electrophoresis. An interaction of lipid monomers from the liposomes with the erythrocyte membranes seemed to be closely correlated to the transfer of these proteins. It was presumed that this interaction induced some changes in the molecular organization of the cell membranes around band 3, resulting in release of the proteins from the erythrocyte membranes. 相似文献

The reduction of copper(II) ions in an aqueous dispersion of positively charged liposomes results in the formation of stable sols of a complex of copper nanoparticles with the surface of liposomes. The mean size (7 nm) and the narrow size distribution of metal nanoparticles are similar to those observed in the case of metal sol formation in polymer solutions. The labile character of bonds between nanoparticles and liposomes makes the latter able to compete with a linear polymer (poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone) in binding to nanoparticles. This ability is manifested in the independence of an almost even distribution of nanoparticles between these competitors from the sol preparation mode in a system including both poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) macromolecules and liposomes. The evenness of the distribution indicates an approximately identical stability of complexes of copper nanoparticles with both competitors. The replacement of liposomes with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) macromolecules in the protective shields of nanoparticles is accompanied by the detachment of the nanoparticles from the surface, thereby allowing the measurement of their size and size distribution in the case where such measurements are impossible because of a high density of nanoparticles on the liposome surface. 相似文献

Here, we report the glycosylation of human adult hemoglobin (Hb) studied in aqueous solution and at the air-water interface by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. Pressure-area (π-A) and pressure-time (π-t) measurements show that the concentration of glucose (GLC) and interaction time have an effect on Hb molecular area as well as on surface activity. Solution studies by UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy show that the GLC can alter the local conformation of Hb to some extent at the tryptophan and heme residues. CD spectroscopic studies in solution indicate that the α-helix content increases in the presence of GLC at the secondary structure level, which may be the cause of an increased adsorption rate of Hb. Also, secondary structure calculation using FTIR technique in the LB film follows the decrease in α-helix and increase in β-sheet structure as well as the formation of intermolecular aggregates. AFM images of Hb in the LB film indicate the transition from globular to an ellipsoid-like structure of Hb in the presence of GLC. FTIR studies of the LB film support the AFM imaging and the analysis of π-t kinetics. The molecular docking study revealed that Val 1 and Lys 132 are the most favorable docked sites along with some other sites such as Hem 147, Trp 37, Asp 94, Tyr 145, Leu 91, His 143, Glu 43 etc. The overall study may predict the processes of interactions with the increased concentration of GLC on Hb as well as on other long lived proteins. 相似文献
